Emerald approaches the door on the opposite side of the one he entered. Having not heard anything, he opens the door slightly and peers in.

It's a room full of reagents and various lab supplies. There is also a rack full of what appear to be complete potions.

>>27544577

Emerald looks at the potions on the shelf. Luckily they are all labeled.

There are giant jugs of "Unholy Water", invisibility potions, something called "Fleshrot", "Veritasium Oil", and "Forever Fluid".

What does Emerald do?

I see no point in stealing right now, as cool as they sound to have with us, add the fact that we probably don't understand the actual purpose of some of those anyway

>>
>>27545275
Aw come on, why can't we take some of the potion, would they really miss that much? It's not like we have to take gallons or anything, wouldn't the same amount we drank before be sufficient? How much is sitting there? If it's the only thing sitting there, then that would be a lot more noticeable. Would the ingredients for it happen to be sitting next to it? We could always be a bit sneaky and see if we can't remember what Joy did to make it,(could we do an Intelligence roll for remembering what she did? I got here too late to give my vote on it when we were in the room).

>>27545306
Even though you're talking out of your ass about the risks about gay porn, i'm actually with you in wanting to take the invisibility potion. To me that just screams, hey you can eavesdrop with this, take it.

If he really gets that mad about it,(if LS even noticed right away, we could still make plans to replace it) say that we can compensate him for it later.
>>
>>27545506
Ok it says potions, I can't see much reason to not take at least one, cause I doubt he'd notice right away. And like I said, if he even notices we can always compensate him for one, we have a potion back at the ship if I remember correctly. Though, he'll probably want to know why we took it, we could just say that we were playing hide and seek with Ruby and wanted to make sure we could win,(that'd be straight up lying, but I imagine it'd be hard for them to call us out on it).

I'm going to go run some errands, so I'll update after I get back.

Wait, why potions? Do we need more than one or something? Shouldn't just one be sufficient? Namely the invisibility.
>>
>>27545667
>The name "Veritasium" is a combination of the Latin word for truth, Veritas, and the suffix common to many elements, -ium. This creates "Veritasium", an element of truth, a play on the popular phrase and a reference to scientific elements.
Though that certainly sounds interesting in itself, though I have to wonder what exactly that would do as a potion. Maybe make a boost to your scientific knowledge or something?
>>
>>27545619
Don't steal when we can ask for some later. We'd also be able to find out about the others then and maybe learn some new stuff.
>>
>>27545681
Ok I keep babbling on here, but maybe we could even use a potion in combination with the invisibility potion, like for example that "unholy water" appear undead. He could possibly pour some of that on cloth of some kind and wrap it around himself so they can't use the detect life spell on him? If that would even work, I have no clue or not if that is even something that would be feasible with the potion.

He's proven to be ok, but like I said, how long would it be before he even noticed? He's not really our friend,(at least I don't consider him a friend, he fucking threatened to kill us/was going to kill us and i'm not forgiving him for it). But whatever happens I guess.

Whether or not he finds out immediately is irrelevant, stealing is still stealing. As for the threatening to kill us part, he is hiding in a remote village in a forest surrounded by security and we just walked in and took something that belonged to him. I was surprised that he actually kept us alive.

>>27545881
A remote village that we didn't know actually had anyone in it, so we didn't even purposely steal it. As far as we knew, it was just something left behind. Let alone zombies that appeared and were trying to catch us, how many people would just stop and have a lil chat with em? That hardly justifies killing some one, how many other individuals have wandered in and were killed for "intruding"? That's a pretty shitty justification for doing something like that assuming they weren't actually out to get you. Don't pretend like he's a good guy, cause he's far from it. I don't give two shits about wanting to start over, i'll give him a bit of a pass for not actually killing us, though i'm not gonna pretend he's a nice guy for doing so. After we get out of here I never want to see any trace of him or LE again. This just makes me want to have the book burned just to spite him.
>>
>>27546025
I ain't pretending that he's a good guy. I'm acknowledging the mindset he has and trying to understand why he acted the way he did. He is a monster and, even though he can be nice and polite, his past experiences with living creatures has been them trying to kill him (or at least make him stay dead considering the whole lich thing). He has every reason to be paranoid and expect the worst. The important thing is that he was able to realize that we meant him no harm and that we could be trusted. Something that we'd ruin if we steal from him.
>>
>>27546072
Stealing a potion isn't the same as accidentally stealing that quite important to him book, and quite honestly I'm to the point I'm not sure I give a shit. As far as i'm concerned it's karma coming back to him a bit, how much is he gonna miss one little potion? Maybe two at the most.

I'm pretty sure he's ruined a lot of lives so I don't really feel that bad for him. Especially when his first reaction is to just off any "Intruders" and "thieves". He get's no sympathy from me.

I'm starting to think we should let Pip out, he's a bad pony/whatever he is and would deserve no less than to be burnt to a crisp. All the bad things he did don't just go away because he decided to not be a douchebag anymore. Admittedly I don't know the full extent of damage he did to other ponies lives, but I bet it was quite a bit.
>>
>>27546003
pls no shilling, we can use catalogs just fine.
>>
>>27546148
Why not run around destroying his entire lab while we're at it then? We could also walk up to his face and laugh at him about stealing his stuff, it isn't like he doesn't deserve it. Two wrongs don't make a right. Also we aren't some divine force, we're a colt deciding whether or not to knowingly steal from somebody.
>>
>>27546193
Cause we're gonna be subtle about it, not stupidly brazen. We are still in his place after all, it would not be smart to be openly defiant, even with Joy here. And no, stealing a potion is not being openly defiant, not by a long shot. I'm pretty sure he's well off enough he doesn't even need to worry about something like that. Why does he even have those things, do potions work on the undead?

And in his case it's his probably more in the double or triple digits wrongs vs our one wrong to him. The fact that you don't think he deserves something for being such an ass astounds me.

Why do you think he'd even care about a potion so much in the first place? I doubt it'd even be close to the book in terms of how much he'd care about it being gone. This is payback for even thinking about killing us, i'm a firm believer in fighting fire with fire sometimes.
>>
>>27546193
>Why not run around destroying his entire lab while we're at it then?
Because that wouldn't help, obviously.
There's a difference between doing something because it helps you and doing something because you're being actively malicious.
>>
I don't think stealing potions of unknown purpose or efficacy from the lab of our host is either wise or nice. We have other things to be about.
>>
>>27545619

The only advantage the potion would bring us is that we won't be as easily spotted once we do find them.

Hopefully we will be gone before they would even know one was missing.
>>
>>27546266
>>27546272
The point of that post was that two wrongs don't make a right. He might not give a damn, but if you do actually believe in karma than doing something wrong to him and thinking his past actions justify us would only count against us. Best case scenario is he doesn't notice anything and we get an invisibility potion and a guilty conscience. Worst case scenario is that he realizes that we betrayed his trust and stole from him, thus making him decide to never trust the living again. Do you really want to risk pushing him off the deep end for a measly potion that we don't even need?
>>
>>27546339
Also everybody seems to forget that they can sense the living without relying on sight. So not only is it an immoral idea, it is also a stupid one.
>>
>>27546339
Well I mean, if there were justice he would of been destroyed a long time ago. Yes two wrongs do make a right, circumstancially so and you're not going to convince me otherwise especially since it's mostly subjective like a lot of things in life. I'll admit that the subject matter of "karma" is a pretty slippery slope in itself. I suppose those that would deserve the chance to get back at him are, you know, dead. Or his undead slaves.

>thus making him decide to never trust the living again.
Oh boo hoo, cause killing anyone that comes by shows he has trust? Did you forget that he was gonna kill us had we not dropped a name? Joy is honestly probably the only reason we are alive. So it was being a friend of a friend that saved us.

>Do you really want to risk pushing him off the deep end for a measly potion
I'd like to push him off the deep end of something into a vat of acid if that's what you mean.

>>27546352
I did suggest using the unholy water with it in hopes of masking our presence, though i'm not sure it'd work, so that might be kinda risky. Not only that, but if they don't even suspect that we are there, then they wouldn't even use the detect life spell in the first place. So as long as we were careful they shouldn't even be suspicious of any presence.
>>
>>27546468

>I'd like to push him off the deep end of something into a vat of acid if that's what you mean.

Joyride would not like that.

>I did suggest using the unholy water with it in hopes of masking our presence,

Do we even know that it would work like that? What if it poisons us or does what Holy Water does to vamps.
>>
>>27546468
So you want to try convincing him to go back to using his undead army to conquer the world again?

Mixing a potion we know with one we know absolutely nothing about is an even more idiotic idea. It's not a spell, it's a sense. We have the stench of life.
>>
>>27546502
>Joyride would not like that.
Which is why i'm keeping it to passive aggressive transgressions.

We could put the Unholy Water on clothes and wear them over another layer of clothes or something, I wasn't suggesting ingesting it when I don't even know what it does exactly.

>>27546526
>So you want to try convincing him to go back to using his undead army to conquer the world again?
You know that would just prove my point further right? You don't get to shoot people and then try to have people feel sorry for you and then shoot them again when they don't feel sorry for you.

Besides, I already provided an idea of how to possibly thwart it above.
>>
>>27546568
We have absolutely no idea what Unholy Water does. For all we know it's a bottle of magical acid. I understand that you decided to hate everything about this guy and thus have no problem with doing anything against him, but please accept that others are either indifferent to him of, on some level, like him. I sincerely doubt that Joyride, who was his apprentice for a while, is without sin and I don't hear any blind hatred towards her.
>>

I'm not a big fan of him either. But this is his turf so to speak. I would rather have LS be a ally and teacher or at least friendly than him as yet another foe that's after us.

>>
>>27546659
>So if the character isn't as pure as the driven snow you don't like them?

That's not what I said. I said that there was a few people that really hated Joyride and they made a big fuss about her pimping Emerald out and her general aloofness.
>>
>>27546678
I posted that more out of jest than as a serious question.
>>
>>27546678
they are not around anymore.
>>
>>27546683

Sorry but I missed the joke. Must be the fact that I'm a different anon than the one fussing about LS.
>>
>>27546606
I did say he can prove to be nice when he wants to be, but that doesn't excuse him for being a fuckhead that was about to kill us. And that's one of the reasons I really really really don't like him and I certainly wouldn't feel bad for him if he got screwed over a little.

>I understand that you decided to hate everything about this guy.
Nah just the parts about being him being a power hungry homicidal jackass that tried to take over, and recently was going to kill us.

>We have absolutely no idea what Unholy Water does.
I can only guess too, but I really doubt it's like acid. Whatever it was just a suggestion afterall.

>but please accept that others are either indifferent to him of, on some level, like him.
The fact that some people are even indifferent to him when he was going to kill us,(I mean seriously, that's one of shittiest things you can do to someone you just met. Sure there are worse things, but that hardly makes up for that fact) is what baffles me by how illogical it is. So no I won't accept it, I acknowledge it, but i'm not accepting it.

>>27546665
The "Fleshrot" potion actually sounds like it would have the best chance of throwing off their magic/senses, but that obviously sounds pretty risky in itself.

LE did say that LS's senses were'nt as strong as hers. So I think as long as we were sneaky they shouldn't even know we are there. And we could get away with just using the invisibility potion.
>>
>>27545619
I'm going to err on not taking the potions. I don't 100% trust Ol' Cloakey either but the fact he's already been generous enough to let us go, use his library and tour around his village is enough to tell me he's not so bad. I don't think it'd be a good idea to do something that would wear out that generosity, regardless of whether he finds out or not. We'd be stealing against someone who may not be our friend, but is still someone who chose not to kill us and made us his guest.

Second, we also don't know for sure what these potions could do to us. They may be labeled for certain things, but exactly how they may affect us is still a big question. We may know what some of them are, but we don't know how much is necessary to take effect, if drinking a certain amount would be poisonous, or whether they would even work on us. We need to remember these are LS's potions, not Joyride's; for all we know, these may only work on undead, or worse, could be fatal to the living.

Emerald decides for sure not to steal any potions. Maybe if he is lucky, he can ask for one and Lord Sepulcher will give it to him.

Emerald isn't sure what to do now though, so he sits on his keister and looks around the corridor. Nothing seems to have changed since he was in it last however.

(Sorry, meant to update more today... But then I went and bought Overwatch and now it's time for bed.)

Unsure of where to go next, Emerald peers carefully into each door in turn.

The first door is full of giant clay cauldrons with tops sitting all in rows stretching all the way back to a door across from the entrance Emerald is at now.

The second is the lab.

The third is not lit in any way, and Emerald can hardly see into the room at all, however he does here voices. Unfortunately Emerald doesn't think they are the voices of Joyride or Lord Sepulcher.

The fourth is full of cages full of some sort of undead creatures. Emerald knows they are undead because they are mostly bone suffused with metal to hold their frames up. There is another door across the room from here.

Emerald opens the fifth apprehensively, and inside he spots nothing more than a giant obsidian slab. Around the walls are various tools, all in different states of disrepair and rust.

The sixth is full of weapons and armor, much like the first room they are all set in racks in rows all the way to the back of the room where there is another door.

...And the bottom is still the library, and still empty.

What does Emerald do?

You touch the monolith, for one brief shining moment you have answers to all your problems save for the fact that you have just touched the monolith.

It is full of stars!

The next moment your heart bursts in your chest and your mind collapses in upon itself under the weight of the realization that you too are made of star stuff.

With your dying breath you lick the monolith.
It tastes faintly of snozberries.


I'm not sure I want to browse much without ruby, assuming we are looking for Joy and LS still I guess I would rank the choices 6, 4, 1, 3.

Emerald enters the room with all the clay pots.

It is indeed, just full of giant clay pots. They are all roughly the same size, but there is some slight variation between them.

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>27560291
try the door at the other end. (There was a door mentioned in the earlier post.)
>>
>>27560291
I guess take a curious look into the pots, if that's all there is in here then we should look in another room.

>>
>>27560291
Take a brief look inside one of the pots, then check the other door and listen for any voices behind it.

Emerald is very curious about what is in the pots, but he instead goes over to the door and listens to see if he can hear anything. It's completely silent, and Emerald opens the door a crack to see inside.

The entirety of the room houses a huge clay pot with a winch attached to the cover, probably to help take it on and off.

On the side of the room is a lever that if Emerald had to guess, probably lifts the top off the pot.

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>27561021
I think there's a jewish golem on that pot for some reason
>>
>>27561021
Leave it alone; exit the room.
>>
>>27561021
Yeah, let's leave even if we opened it we can't see what's in there cause it's too tall.
>>
>>27561021

Look around, is there a step ladder to reach the lid?
>>
>>27561276
I don't think we want to look inside. If there are potions cooking in there; we don't want any nautious gasses.
>>
>>27561305

>>27561021
Let's not bother. I don't like the look of that crack in the corner. Besides, that thing's just too big to deal with.

Hey, what was that suggestion for my patreon goals that the one anon posted? I think I'll fiddle with it today once I get home.
>>
>>27569235

Here's what I what I wrote last time:

Well okay. I'm no Patreon user myself but I might suggest a few things.

Maybe for $5 a month a early preview of a drawing?

Maybe for $10 a month you draw a B&W sketch of a character's OC?

For $25 a month a color drawing of their choice?

For $50 a month maybe something special?

As for goals maybe start with whatever programs, tools, and hardware you need to buy in order to improve your skills and time?

Perhaps from there maybe another goal could be for animations or streaming program/equipment... etc.


Sorry that I don't have a better suggestion these are off the top of my head.
>>
>>27569312

I think some other anon suggested a flash game/Visual novel to be a goal as well.
>>
>>27569312
>>27569329

Of course another goal could be better internet.

What should Emerald do?

Voted other room. Go to drawing room and ask a zombie if they saw LS or Joy come this way earlier.

Maybe just leave; I don't think we're going to find them.

>>
>>27572372
Had to do a double take with you using that vector image. Thought you might be an imposter.

Anyway, go to one of the rooms that had a door in it we never opened. Carefully have a peeksie.

I don't want to open the jars, I already have a guess at what's in 'em; and it's a look at where our organs would've gone if our dead ass had ended up on Sepulchur's operating table.

If we can't find her anywhere, let's go for a walk in that door that had nothing but blackness in it. After we toss something in to make sure it isn't an "out of bounds" area like clipping through a map in a vidya

Emerald leaves and walks back up to the top of the stairs and into the drawing room. He gives one of the zombies a poke, and he looks up distractedly.

Emerald asks if Joyride and Lord Sepulcher came this way. The zombie smiles and gives a nod, commenting that they went through the door Emerald just acme out of and then goes back to his work.

Emerald shrugs and heads back through the door. Only a few rooms they could be in now. Thinking on it a bit, Emerald realizes the door with the Obsidian slab didn't have any doors leading off of it, so they probably aren't in that room.

Where does Emerald go?

>>27572674

I have a feeling they are either in the dark room or they are in the cage room.

(Last for the night.)

Emerald goes into the unlit room. There were voices in there after all. Maybe he was wrong and it was actually Lord Sepulcher and Joyride's voice.

Emerald walks in, and seeing as it's unlit and incredibly dark, he uses his light spell.

It appears to be a bunch of metal working stations set in a row going down a far hallway... At least as far as he can see. His light spell doesn't seem to be going as far as it does usually.

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>27573634
This isn't Darkness. This is ADVANCED DARKNESS.
>>
>>27573634
Of course we're gonna head down the hall. Slow and quiet, keep our ears perked and eyes open
>>
>>27573634

Dim the light spell and advance slowly. Examine the machinery as we pass it.
>>
>>27573916
it's magical darkness so dimming the spell would only make it harder for us.
>>
>>27573916
>>27573925
>>27573634

never mind then! Just advance slowly and examine the machinery.
>>
>>27573634
I'm unsure how these INT and PERCEPTION rolls even work. Can we perception for anything that might pose a threat, or int on what we make of this light-consuming darkness?

As a side thought, hope Ruby's gettin on okay with Stingerbutt.

Emerald cautiously moves forward, checking out each machine as he passes.

Emerald doesn't recognize most of these machine. He sees an anvil and something that looks like a drill attached to a large base, but past that they are all foreign objects to him.

>Perception Check
>Rolled 3, Passed

Emerald stops in his tracks. He thought he heard a very low, metallic scrapping coming from somewhere up ahead, followed by some whispered, unintelligent words no louder than a gust of wind.

What does Emerald do?

Sounds creepy. I don't like it. Be ready to use a Push spell. I wonder if the threat is metal, will our Push spell even knock it away? Therefore if we're attacked, use the spell as a means to divert the attack's direction, knocking it off course, rather than outright trying to push the thing away.

He's green, he's always been green and was in fact named emerald because he was green.

Emerald proceeds carefully ahead, the scraping and the muttering getting louder with each step.

Emerald stops with a thrill of horror as a pair of claws come around the side of one of the columns. A strange creatures pulls itself around it to look at Emerald, floating hauntingly in mid-air. Much like the kraken, it seems to be part carcass and part machine. This one seems to have bug eyes. claws, a pincer hand, razor sharp teeth, and thick, rope-like wires where his legs should be.

"YoU ShOuLdN't Be HeRe..." The creature says, barely audible over Emerald's own heart thumping almost out of his chest.

What does Emerald do?

"Hi I'm Emerald, who are you? Did your master come this way?"

>>27580213
Running will only give us a bad image upon the undead. All we can do now is act like the innocent colt we are and say we were looking for someone, but got lost.

>>27580213

"Oh, this isn't the bathroom, is it. Oh well I'll just be going, I'll have to have a word with the receptionist about giving bad directions..." whilst backing away with a big smile.

>>27580213

Apologize and say that we are simply lost and looking for his master.

>>27580213
we should say something like "Oh, sorry I got lost. I was looking for my mistress, Joyride, do you know where she is?"

Emerald starts to back away slowly, and doing his best not to sound afraid asks if Lord Sepulcher or Joyride came this way.

"NoOoOo... He HaSn'T cOmE tHrOuGh HeRe ReCeNtLy..."

The creature slowly hovers towards him, flexing his claws and open and closing his pincer.

What does Emerald do?

>>27580883
For me, the claws and pincer action is enough. I think a good bout of running and screaming would probably be the most rational course of action.
>>
>>27580883
You have to leave man, his lower half is probably taking a shit, give the dude some privacy
>>
>>27580883

Say that we are his guest and are simply looking for him. Keep away from the pincers and claws.

>>27580964

Agreed.

"Okaysorrytobotheryoubye!"

This. Immediately. Don't panic unless he doesn't believe you or doesn't care. That being said, if either of those are the case, RUN.

Don't panic but keep backing up. Tell the creature that we are Lord Sepulcher special guest and was simply looking for him.
>>
>>27580883
ask what this room is for? And why is he here?
>>
>>27580883

Back away. Maybe a little quicker. But tell him we are a guest of LS and should not be harmed. Apologize for bothering him.
>>
>>27580883

We heared more than one voice in here earlier. Be on the look out. We don't want to back up into another one of these.
>>
>>27580883
Tell him that we were just poking around the place and we will gladly get out of his hair, and joke about how he nearly scared you out of your hair.

Emerald backs away quickly, apologizing for bothering him and doesn't stop until he gets to the other side of the door.

He takes a deep breath, but a voice from behind him sends a chill down his spine.

"YoU'vE sEeN tOo MuCh..." The monster says, seeming to phase through the wall in a ghost like manner.

>>
>>27581673

The weapons/armor room.
>>
>>27581673

Tell him we are LS guest and not to harm us otherwise your master will be really mad.
>>
>>27581673

tell the monster to knock it off. We are a guest here and already made a deal with LS to be silent.
>>
>>27581673
Oh I know! Let's cue the funny chase scene where we run around through all 6 doors in the hallway back and forth.
>>
>>27581804
I'm just imagining Emerald trying to hit him on the nose with a newspaper now.

>>27581673
Brighten up that Light spell as high as we can.

>>27581673
Push him back through the door.

Isn't there a door in one of these rooms we haven't opened yet? Haul ass there. We gotta find them
>>
>>27581673
We need to stop or escape the monster, and find help. Run to nearest known location of friendlies, whilst making clear to the monster that you're a guest of LS.
>>
>>27581673
If this thing's part machine, does it have a power core? We saw Joy hand one off so we know what it looks like hopefully. See if he has one

>>
>>27581673
Tell him to back off. We are LS's guest. If he refuses to listen. Use the push spell and run to either the weapons' room or the drawing room.
>>
>>27581673
Anyone else get the feeling this all could be some kind of prank Joy/LS are pulling on us in an attempt to teach us not to eavesdrop on them?

>>27581673
>>27582342

do a perception check to see how it is that it's phased through a door.

As far as Emerald knows the thing is real, and coming at him at his own, slow pace. Emerald yells at it again that he is a guest and that Lord Sepulcher will have something to say if he does anything.

"DoN't LiE, tHiEf..." The creature says, reaching out his claws towards the colt.

Emerald runs down towards the weapon and armor room. As he opens the door he looks back at the spectre-like creature. It's still following him, but not as fast as Emerald can get away it seems.

He ducks into the room and sees pretty much all manner of weapons he can imagine. They all seem a little... Odd to him, but Emerald can't put his finger on why. Perhaps because they all have a sharp, spiky sort of look to them?

What does Emerald do?

>>27582617

>>
>>27582617
Any other doors in here?
>>
>>27582617

>>
>>27582617
I think it'd be wiser to go back to the drawing room and have one of the zombies vouch for us, personally.
>>
>>27582617
Why don't we just run outside and tell one of the zombies? They could clear things up especially if we found LE.
>>
We definitely need to get outta there. no way anything in the room is safe by any definition. get to a zombie, preferably miss chimera pants.
>>
>>27582617

What's the book. Also is there another door here. Make haste!
>>
>>27582617
Is there another door? If not hurry out before we are trapped.
>>
>>27582617
Look to see if there's another door we can escape through. Otherwise, see if there's another way to evade the ghost.

I don't know if we can make a beeline to where the zombie comic artists are, though; isn't the ghost kinda on the way over there?
>>
>>27582617
Guys. Can we go to the comic room? Why did we come here if the thing chasing phases through matter.

Our best bet is to summon our shield to stall him.
>>
>>27582617

Get the mace. We may need to use if it get's close.
>>
>>27582920
If that thing can phase through physical matter such as doors, do you think a weapon would even have any effect on it?
>>
>>27582617

What's in the book or chest?
>>
>>27582686

Look for a SILVER weapon.
Like the metal, not just the color.

Supernatural things don't like silver.

>>27583184
You know why its called "supernatural"? Because its super. So running's probably the best option.

>>27582617

Use INT to think of a weapon that might help.

I don't think we could even pick up any of these weapons. Which is why we should really learn the levitation spell sometime.

(Last for the night.)

Emerald barges through the door opposite of the one he entered.

He is greeted by Joyride and Lord Sepulcher standing near some sort of knife-scythe looking weapon on display. They are giving him questioningly looks.

Emerald blushes slightly in embarrassment, but a soft metallic scraping sound from behind the colt draws him back to attention.

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>27583856

Excuse me while I go punch a wall for not picking this room earlier. Now we won't learn anything...
>>
>>27583856
Ok don't get mad guys but...we might have been went snooping and caused a ghost to chase us.
Can you make it stop please?

Oh, uh sorry.

I was exploring. Mister Lord Sepulcher, would you mind telling the scary pony thing with the claws to not kill me?
>>
>>27583856
Tell them we're being chased by some armored zombie ghost...thing and would like their help in keeping it away from us.
>>
>>27583938
Anon, we need a rolled up silver newspaper. Not a roll of tin foil, or an extra wide roll of duct tape.
>>
>>27583856

apologize for bothering them but one of LS's creations thinks I'm a thief and is harassing me.
>>
>>27583856
Go hide behind our favorite cum guzzler. And give her a proper greeting hug while your at it.
>>
>>27583988
I don't know what you expect a silver newspaper to look like, but that's it.
>>
>>27583856

Say that we are being chased by a creature that thinks we are a intruder. Say we are sorry for bothering them but ask if LS could explain to it that we are a guest.

Then once this whole matter is settled maybe we can pretend to leave and then come back to spy on them.
>>
>>27584046
>Then once this whole matter is settled maybe we can pretend to leave and then come back to spy on them.
We,(and by that I not including me) thoroughly ruined that element of surprise.
>>
>>27583856


We are really in a fix now. Good luck learning anything about the amulet.

First the demon, now this...
>>
>>27584114
If it makes you feel any better, all we have to do is go grab the book if we really really wanted to release her. It would be a bad idea on multiple accounts, but it's still something we could do if we really wanted to.
>>
>>27584114
I still think it's worth just being direct and just asking. I think LS didn't tell us anything probably because he felt it wasn't his place too.
It could be on of those wait til your older deals and at that point, we could just say we don't care how hard the truth would be to hear.
>>
>>27584163
>I think LS didn't tell us anything probably because he felt it wasn't his place too.
>It could be on of those wait til your older deals and at that point,

I wouldn't be surprised if that was his reason earlier. But now that he's talked to Joy anything he'll tell us will probably be a half-truth. Just like she's been doing.
>>
>>27584184
Given how seriously she threaten to throw the amulet in a mystic fire last time, I think if it's bad she'd tell us. Unless it's somehow dangerous for us to know because apparently we're under some unknown contract we don't know the rules to. But apparently there are good demons too so who knows it might not be that bad.

>>
>>27584255
Joy is nicer. I'd much rather hide behind her.
>>
>>27584232
Then again... She has proven to be prone to lying to us if she thinks that she's "protecting" us by omitting information.
>>
>>27583856
Use our Dweomeric shield on Joy, take cover inside and point out the shitter on our back trail.
>>
>>27584317
Well, where's the fun if everything is just handed to us. That sounds like an excuse to just chill in the library and learn more about demonology to me.
>>
>>27584358
Well we did have to eavesdrop to even get all that information, like the pirate raid and the navy chasing after us. It just pisses me off cause I can't think of a good reason to lie to him about it, especially on such a potentially existential matter like that.
>>
>>27584393
Because adults think kids can't handle the heavy shit.
>>
>>27584318
I like that idea. It's a thoughtful gesture and it shows something he learned.

>>27584426
Emerald isn't exactly a normal child. He's had to grow up faster than most adults even do.

And depending on the child in question they can handle the idea of something heavier, they just don't understand the impact of it. Depending on what it is though, you have to experience the thing in question to even get a good idea of what it actually means.

It's not like Joy is doing it to be intentionally mean,(at least I don't think so, but it's hard to say with all those ulterior motives she has sometimes). But more often than not you're not doing people favors by lying to them about things.

Thanks famalam, and the title was a joke. I was thinking about putting demon instead but I was joking either way.

Sure, Joy is a monster depending on who you ask, but I find her to be mostly agreeable. Her moral compass is all broken to hell, but I think she's pretty cool for the most part.

Makes me wonder if Emerald would ever do drugs. Maybe not recreationally, but I remember reading a book once where the main character used mescaline as a way to make himself more perceptive of, and able to speak with demons. I always thought that was neat.
>>
>>27588249

I was wondering about that as well. Probably not. But I would've been a bit curious to see what would've happen if we compelled him to try the white powder the zebras were smuggling .

Emerald quickly comments that he is being chased by some sort of zombie-ghost-machine thing and implores Lord Sepulcher to make it stop.

The creature comes floating through the door and Emerald quickly ducks behind Joyride, glaring angrily.

"AnOtHeR iS hErE..." The monster says, snapping it's pincer.

"Ghostwalk, that's enough. These are guests. Back to your post." Lord Sepulcher says sternly to the thing.

Without another word the creature turns around and begins to float back out the door.

"The heck was that thing." Joyride says amused, still looking at the spot on the door the monster disappeared through.

"One of my masterpieces. I call it a wraithsteel protector." Lord Sepulcher then turns to the colt and says, "He guards my workshop, and is programmed to never leave unless chasing an intruder. Why were you snooping around in there?"

Lord Sepulcher's gaze is withering, and Emerald doesn't step out from behind Joyride. He looks up at her, and she looks back at him with a playful grin.

"Well? The nice lich asked you a question, lil' perv."

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>27591640
Well we can't very well tell them we wanted to eavesdrop.
Say you needed to ask Joyride something and didn't know where you were.
...Quick someone help me think of a question to justify this!
>>
>>27591640

Say that LE was showing Ruby around and we stopped for a few moments to put up our books. When we were done we couldn't find them and we thought they went into that room. Apologize for the whole thing.
>>
>>27591640
That cute Emerald, If I didn't know any better i'd say you're indulging me fic.

We were looking for you two. That and we were just curious about this place. We never did get to properly say hello to Joy afterall.

What's that weapon? Sorry for intruding but we didn't really feel like letting that thing grab ahold of us, and it was dumb luck that we stumbled upon you two in here.

Do you even use that workshop anymore? It was rather dark in there.
>>
>>27591680

We can say we were simply looking for LE and thought that she had went in there.
>>
>>27591640
Nice scythe by the way.
>>
>>27591640

>>
>>27591701
sickle. It's a sickle...

Explain it was merely a accident. We were putting away the books and leaving when we heard voices coming from in there. Thought it was you guys. Sorry.

>>27591728
>>27591770
The library is to far away from that room and, since he lives here, he'd know that we wouldn't be attracted to that room for that reason.
>>
>>27591640

Apologize and say we heard noises coming from that door. We were curious to find out what that sound was and so we decided to peak in there.
>>
>>27591881
>The library is to far away from that room and, since he lives here, he'd know that we wouldn't be attracted to that room for that reason.

It's just down the hall. Remember one end is the library and the other end is the drawing room. We would have to pass by if we were to say, go to the drawing room.
>>
>>27591911
That's why I wrote the second part. He'd know whether or not noises that could be mistaken as a conversation would be heard while passing that room. That ghost thingy was in there all alone and none of the machinery was on after all. Also we asked a zombie if they went through the drawing room so that messes up the story a bit if he checks.
>>
>>27591680

How about "I wanted to ask if you told the crew that I was alive and okay?"
>>
>>27591964
Remember in one of our passes in listening at the doors we heard whispering coming from there. So it's not a lie.
>>
>>27591984
I thought that was the door with the stone.

>>27591999

No it was the darkness room.

>>27592028
I think they didn't get the message until a little after they left port so probably not.

>>27592070

Then we should ask her to send a letter. At least one to Bo to let him know that we live.

>>27591728

This.

>>27591640

Ask what that thing would've done to us if it had caught us?

We could always ask about the Cloaky connection and what happen to the bad foals he nabbed.

(Last for the night.)

Nervously Emerald comments that he heard voices from the room when he was returning to the library to clean up a bit. He thought it was the pair of them and so entered, only to be met by that thing. Emerald quickly tries to change the subject by asking what the creature would have done if it had caught him.

"Just killed you is all." Lord Sepulcher says, still glaring at Emerald.

Emerald gulps and then says that the sickle he has there is pretty cool.

"Yes. More than you know, child." Sepulcher says with a nod.

Emerald looks up to Joyride for help, but she just smiles down at him.

Emerald asks what the connection between him and the Cloaky myth and what he did with the foals.

"I kidnapped bad children and did experiments on them. You know, like the ones who sneak around places they shouldn't be." Lord Sepulcher says in a strange tone. it's not angry, but it's not happy either.

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>27592435
Nod and apologize.
>>
>>27592435
Say "You can experiment on me any-time you want" with a lecherous smile.

See if we can get points with Joyride and creep him out as a bonus.
>>
>>27592435

Well thank LS for calling the creature off and make our leave. Then wait a bit and try to sneak back and listen in on them.
>>
>>27592435
Urge to bitch about him rising.

Let's just hastily excuse ourselves and leave. Let's go see if Ruby is back. I have not many good things to say bout him right now and all i'm gonna wanna do is get mouthy with him if we have to stick around him too much longer.
>>
>>27592472
>Say "You can experiment on me any-time you want" with a lecherous smile.

>>27592561
As somewhat funny as it would be, I don't think it's a good idea either.

No it's not. But it feels really ooc for him to do that right now.
>>
>>27592673
And it's kinda inappropriate right now.
>>
>>27592659
I don't think it's bad either, there's just a time and place for everything. That's all.
>>
>>27592673
How so?
>>
>>27591640
We were looking for you two, we wanted to see you, Joy. You ran off so quick.
>>
>>27592688

Emerald is worried and had yet another close brush with death. Plus LS is mad at us right now. I don't think Emerald is in the right state of mind or mood to get fresh with him.
>>
>>27592435
Explain that after we heard voices, we tried finding out which door it was and didn't find the creature until we tried the last door. I have a feeling he may have somehow sensed us going through several rooms already and is trying to call us out on any bullshit. But if we explain what I suggested above, we wouldn't necessarily be lying. We just simply got confused and lost at the same time and it eventually led us here.
>>
>>27592718
I can't wait to leave this place, i'm already sick of it.
>>
>>27592718
Meh; could lighten the mood?

>Explain that after we heard voices, we tried finding out which door it was and didn't find the creature until we tried the last door. I have a feeling he may have somehow sensed us going through several rooms already and is trying to call us out on any bullshit.

He might have. But it's best not to tip our hand in case he hasn't. Saying we had to visit more than one room just find a voice we heard in passing is going to sound a bit odd.
>>
>>27592435
>I kidnapped bad children and did experiments on them.

What happen to them afterward?
>>
>>27592435
>"I kidnapped bad children and did experiments on them. You know, like the ones who sneak around places they shouldn't be." Lord Sepulcher says in a strange tone.

Point taken...
>>
>>27592435

Okay, let's go and ask that demon the one question.
>>
>>27592435
>I kidnapped bad children and did experiments on them.
He's just trying to scare us....kind of there likely some truth but I don't think its that simple. Kidnapping random kids would draw too much notice to him.
Still I wouldn't call him out on it. We did, after all, go around sneaking about in his home twice. That's pretty naughty.

Let's just be honest and say we wanted to know about the demon in our amulet.
>>
>>27592864
"By the way, Joy, I was hoping to talk to you about the demon in my amulet and the meaning of the hourglass symbol since LS here said I would have to consult you about it."

This way we're being honest about what we want to know but at the same time we don't give away that we were trying to eavesdrop.
>>
>>27592435
we should tell him we are sorry and apologize to joyride for not greeting her when she showed up.
>>
>>27592435

give a nod of understanding and leave the room. We might double back in a bit.
>>
>>27593016
This
>>
>>27593016
I think we should ask her this later.

I think this is a little too premature to do this. I would rather see if we can go have another go at listening in before we bring it up.

>>27592435

Face Sepulchur head on, bow a little, but say that we aren't bad, we only wanted to see our friend Joy. Your secrets are ours, because you gave us life.

Tell Joy we wanted to be sure she's really there, based on your last trek on the ship. Poke her to make sure she's not a magic spell, and remark that things looked rough last we were together.
>>
>>27593522
this, but
> Your secrets are ours, because you gave us life.
this sound kinda awkward.
>>
Sorry to be a critic, but this is all just getting way too ridiculous. Ever since this quest has started, we've had nothing but close calls with bad endings. I'm totally fine with that, but I just think you're making your world a bit too hostile. Not even Bath's quests are as rough as this.

You know I was thinking about Joyride today and it dawned on me that she is kinda like a less evil but more lewd pony version of Ursula from Little Mermaid.

I could totally imagine her singing some version of "Poor Unfortunate Soul" to Emerald.

Emerald does his best to apologize for what he did, and hastily excuses himself.

Emerald shuts the door behind him, and before he can start walking away he can hear the two begin to speak again.

He may have ruined his chance to listen in on the conversation before, but maybe he can still eavesdrop?

What does Emerald do?

I wouldn't risk it now that they know we're nearby, i'm sure all it would take is a spell or two to know if we are eavesdropping or not. Go see if wooby is back yet.

They are already mad at us so there's nothing to loose. Besides his life vision is not as good as LE.
>>
>>27599533

listen in. We may learn something yet!
>>
>>27599563
Are you talking about the thing that just chased us out of the lab? I don't think he's going to talk to us considering we aren't supposed to be there.

>>27599575
Except pushing Lord douchenozzles patience even further if they catch us. Joy can do life detection too and i'm not for sure if it would go outside the room or not. I don't think we should push it personally.
>>
>>27599533

Let's listen in, but be ready to run or hide if it sounds like they are on to us.
>>
>>27599606
>Joy can do life detection too

When has she done that?
>>
>>27599533
We've already mildly annoyed the nice Lich Lord.
Can we not completely piss him off?
>>
>>27599618
I'm not 100 percent sure it's the same exact thing as their life detection or not, but the concept of it sounds the same:

>Emerald says they couldn't find anything to cast magic missile on, so he's trying to make them come to him. He wants to practice magic after all.

>"I see. Are you sure there are even any mice or anything down here?" Joyride says.

>She then lights up her horn, and a weird purple light pulses out of her. As it passes over Emerald, he feels a bit like he is being x-rayed. After a few seconds it stops.

>"Well, it doesn't look like there are anything in this room other than us three."

>Emerald grimaces, and then asks if he can cast magic missile on her some more just so he can practice.

It might be similar but not the same. Her's only works as a scan and only in the room she's in. The undead works like a special sight. Like a heat signature or something of that sort.

Dang, everything falling apart man. First, Hope has gone silent, Joyride hasn't really shown much attention to us, we almost get killed by the undead twice, and now we're messing with their stuff even though they treat us as a guest.

The only good suggestion is to HAVE A PANIC ATTACK!

I think of Joyride's voice as sounding like Washu from Tenchi Muyo for some reason.

>>27599804

Emerald glances around really quick, and then puts his ears up to the door.

"-just to show me an Angel-Cutter. Something on your mind?"

There is a short pause, and then Lord Sepulcher says, "The first time you left hurt the Lady deeply. Please don't lead her on while you are here."

Joyride responds, "What, you jealous or something? With all that 'master' stuff she spouts I bet she'd jump into bed with you."

"I have no intentions of that sort and you know it. She is a great companion and a valued colleague. I will not forgive you for breaking her heart again."

"Okay okay, jeez." Joyride says, "I'll talk to her while I'm here. I planned on staying through the night if that's okay."

"Yes, that is fine. Once I told Gregarious about your arrival he starting planning to gather everyone for cards. Please entertain thsi fancy of his, he seems quite excited about it." Lord Sepulcher asks.

"Of course!" Joyride says graciously.

The conversation isn't going the direction Emerald thought it was. Perhaps he missed his chance to hear about his locket? Emerald isn't sure how long he's been down in the basement... Is Ruby still distracting Lady Elegance?

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>27600364

listen some more. Don't give up just yet.
>>
>>27600364
I want to go check up on Wooby. If LS catches us we are definitely gonna be in his 'murder' book
>>
>>27600364

listen in. But be ready to bolt if it sounds like they are about to leave.
>>
>>27600364
>"-just to show me an Angel-Cutter.
So there's angels now? Neat.
>>
>>27600438
>If LS catches us

Maybe we could say that we were staying in here because we were afraid the monster might still be in the hall.
>>
>>27600364
The angel cutter might be something they are considering using to rid us of our amulet or maybe something for the wasp nest
>>
>>27600364

i don't think we've missed anything yet. In fact given how Joyride starts. It sounds like they just started talking.

>"-just to show me an Angel-Cutter. Something on your mind?"

"(You didn't take me here) -just show me an Angel-Cutter. Something on your mind?"


So let's listen in.
>>
>>27600364
>Also, now whenever I think of Joy's voice it'll be Washu. Thanks.

You're welcome~

Let's check on Ruby and Elegance.

Emerald looks around, then continues to listen in.

"...So what's with the comics. You don't need the cash that badly do you?"

"You should know as well as I do how boring agelessness can be. Tell me I have a lack of imagination, but pretty much all my experiments are long term ones now. My current obsession just happens to be graphic novels."

"You need to get out more. Come on, there are some good bars in the big city. I'm sure we could find a nice girl for you." Joyride says.

"Unlike you Joyride. I've never found much joy in the pleasures of the flesh. Thank you for your concern, I think." Lord Sepulcher says.

There is a slight pause in the conversation, and then Emerald hears some hoof steps and Lord Sepulcher says, "have you seen My Mechanoquines? I think those are new since we've seen each other."

Emerald quickly scurries away before they approach the door. The colt ducks down towards the library and begins to pretend to sort books. After a few moments he thinks he is safe in assuming that the pair weren't going to come down this way.

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>27600838
>Lord Sepulcher says, "have you seen My Mechanoquines? I think those are new since we've seen each other."

Okay, that's either the cage room or the darkness monster room. Go to the library door and peek through the keyhole into the hall and see if we can tell which room it is.
>>
>>27600838

Carefully peak into the hallway and see if the coast is clear and do a listen check on some of the doors.
>>
>>27600838
Find Ruby. Remember the book we wanted to keep her away from? I want to make sure she has gone on her own little meander, looking for loots
>>
>>27600838
let's try to find what room they went into now. If we can't hear them soon though we might just want to move on...
>>
>>27600838

Let's be careful. but try one more time to find them.
>>
Is someone samefagging or do you all have the same terrible idea. We're on thin ice with LS, and I don't think we should leave Ruby with Elegance. She's bound to bail out on her and find trouble, or did you all not notice how dangerous this place is?
>>
>>27600838

Let's give up on this wild chase go look for Ruby.
>>
>>27601114
>I don't think we should leave Ruby with Elegance. She's bound to bail out on her and find trouble,

I think Ruby is too afraid of her and her life vision to sneak away right now. And if she has, again LE's life vision might catch her doing so.
>>
>>27601150
The very fact that Ruby is afraid of the undead is why she's going to ditch Elegance
>>
>>27601184

You might be right. But I hope she hasn't...
>>
>>27601224
We shouldn't of ditched the poor girl like that. I would be surprised if she wasn't at least a bit peeved with Emerald when she sees him again.
>>
>>27600838
We might want to check on Ruby soon...
>>
>>27600838

Let's look for Ruby if we can't find them again...
>>
>>27600838

Do a listen check to either the cage door or the darkness room.
>>
>>27600838

We might want to try to listen in one more time.
>>
>>27600838

Wait a few minuets and peak into the hall. Then do a listen check on the doors.
>>
>>27600838
Can we just leave?

Like, seriously, we're taking huge risks now.
>>
>>27600838
I think we should do what ever chore is supposed to be our coverup and then go and look for ruby, we've pushed our luck pretty far already with the snooping / unsupervised exploring.
>>
>>27600838
Can we stop doing everything in our power to piss off our new undead friends?
>>
>>27600838
Let's try to give this eavesdropping one more go. However if we lost them again I don't feel like looking for them.
>>
>>27600838

wait a few moments and go back to the hall.
>>
>>27600838
Leave and go find Ruby before we get in trouble. We've for all we are really going to our of this place.

(One before errands.)

Emerald leaves the library, and begins to walk upstairs, putting his ear to each door.

Emerald's work is rewarded when he hears their voices come from the room with the giant clay pots.

Emerald looks over to the door to the drawing room. It'd be really easy for him to just leave and go search for Ruby right now. He feels like he may have annoyed Lord Sepulcher enough already... But he also really wants to hear about his locket.

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>27605271
Listen in!
>>
>>27605271
Time to go find Ruby. Please don't push our luck and get us caught people.

>>27605271
Listen in, but be careful. Be on the look out in case someone tries to enter the hall.
>>
>>27605271

Ah good, we may have a chance to learn something yet. Let's listen carefully and not mess up this time.
>>
>>27605271
I doubt they're going to talk about it anymore. Also it'd be very easy for LE and Ruby to find us so close to the exit.

But I really doubt we're gonna die from it, at worse piss him off even more.

Emerald decides to go and try to find Ruby, but luckily he doesn't have to go too far. Lady Elegance actually passes by Emerald as he walks through the drawing room and gives him a little nod.

Ruby is near the well by the watchtower, and when Emerald approaches the filly punches him hard on the foreleg.

"That's for making me go with Elegance, even if she is pretty cool." Ruby says, giving Emerald a staredown as rubs the colt leg with a wince, "So, learn anything good?"

Emerald grimaces and tells her what he heard.

"Wait... Joyride and Elegance dated each other...?" Ruby says looking incredibly confused and disgusted, "I really don't understand that unicorn... Anyway, sorry you didn't hear anything about the amulet. Maybe they'll talk to you about it later?"

The two of them play around for a bit, and Emerald realizes he could just spend some time doing this if there wasn't anything else he had planned to do for the rest of the day.

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>27607885
Go ahead and play for a while, I think we've gotten into enough mischief as it is. Plus I can't think of much else to do at the moment.
>>
>>27608178
we could've listened in some more...
>>
>>27605676
Is this what it feels like when you fellow cyoa participants wimp out and give up too quickly? We could've learned something I know it!
>>
>>27607885

Ask her what Elegance showed her.
>>
>>27607885
Ask what Ruby want's to do?
>>
>>27607885
Tell Ruby there's something we know she's been missing ever since we went overboard, missing more than anything, probably.

Studying! Let's spend the day teaching Wooby some reading.

Emerald asks what Ruby and Lady Elegance ended up doing.

"We just sort of walked around and talked. Did you know she was a great warrior? She told me a bunch of war stories and stuff!"

Ruby talks about Elegance a little longer, and Emerald smiles. He his happy she at least had a good time. Emerald asks what Ruby wants to do, and she shrugs.

Emerald suggests more reading, and Ruby taps her chin a bit before shrugging again and deciding to do it.

Ruby does seem to be making some progress, but he feels like she could be learning faster. It certainly didn't take him so long to learn to write... Though he guesses it is her first writing system. Emerald remembers how easy it was to go from Pony to Fancy, since they both originated from Old Equus.

Ruby asks Emerald how to pronounce something, breaking him out of his reverie. He looks down, but can barely read the book. It's at this point the colt realizes it's getting close to sundown, and they are running out of light. Emerald suggests getting a lantern or something, but just as he does bony forelegs begin popping out of the ground all around them.

Emerald has a brief moment where he realizes that the zombie villagers must be waking up, but it's cut short from a rather loud scream from Ruby, who takes off running blindly. Emerald gives chase, but loses her as she enters the church.

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>27608527
Oh boy, that poor hilariously scared filly.

Follow her and try to calm her down by reassuring her that it's just the villagers. And if it makes her feel any better they pretty much made your heart stop the first time you "met" them too.
>>
>>27608527
Isn't the book in the church?

Find that Ruby. I'm guessing she'll either go up into the tower, or down into the basement. Remove herself from the immediate "danger" of the ground floor.
>>
>>27608527
Well, by the time we get there, she'd probably be called out by the book right now. I wanted to talk to Pip anyways. Though having Ruby near by makes me a bit uncomfortable.

Emerald trots after Ruby, wanting to make sure that she doesn't freak out too much, and to assure her that everyone here is pretty friendly.

Emerald first looks into the office nearby the door, down the hallway to the left, and then heads into the room with the pews.

Emerald suddenly remembers the demon in the office behind the podium, and walks over sees the door is opening, with a certain filly holding a certain book.

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>27608795

"Ruby is that book talking to you?"
>>
>>27608795

Tell Ruby that there's a demon in that book that will eat her soul if she opens it.
>>
>>27608795
DON'T LET HER OPEN IT! DON'T LET HER OPEN IT!
>>
>>27608795

Ruby now want's to burn things.
>>
>>27608795
Let's try to trick Pip.

Tell her that Ruby's soul is under our demon's possession along with our soul.

She already told us that she doesn't want to mess with us because our demon is very powerful.
>>
>>27608795
Warn Ruby to get back from the book use either the push spell or the shield spell if you have too.
>>
>>27608795
Push spell the book out of her hooves, then Dweomeric Shield Ruby so (in theory) she can't get through to it. Explain that that book contains an evil spirit, and it's very dangerous. It almost destroyed us before they got here. Please Ruby, whatever it said to you, it's not to be trusted.
>>
>>27608795
I don't know if this is just an oversight but uh, I don't see a lock on that book. Take that fucking thing from her, right the fuck now. Don't speak, act. Get that fucking book.

All Pip wants to do is get out of the darn book. She's probably been stuck in there for hundreds of years doing nothing and is desperate for any chance.

I don't know why you guys are so afraid of her.
>>
>>27609419
She's a demon, demons are evil. Ruby's an unclaimed soul for her to eat, which I imagine means death for Ruby. Plus, she's a fire demon. Fire demons like to burn things, and ponies are pretty flammable. Not to mention the rest of this village; she'll probably want revenge on LS for trapping her, and maybe us too for not helping her. Demons ain't to be trusted, senpai.
>>
GET THE BOOK OUT OF HER HOOVES
>>
>>27609497
From a narrative perspective I doubt she won't open it, but I hope I'm wrong and my suggestion of >>276088 will be fast enough to get her away from it. No time wasted running toward her, just magic it out of her grip. Lawd, I hope.

the demon thing was understandable. But the invisibility potion, and the listening in thing. People are getting a little too skittish.

>>27609867
Now to be far to this anon I did not see that one line about Elegance being in the drawing room. Still though it's not clear that she would've gone n the hall.

Maybe I wouldn't have reacted as upset though.
