>Keep arguing with priest
While priest is distracted, have Manny and Jim flank the priest, and grab important-looking artifacts and holy symbols and such.

You try to distract the priest. "But, I need to see the cross. It is the only thing powerful enough to cleanse my soul, after having made a deal with the devil"
The priest gasps, "It was obvious that you had lost your way, but to have actually made a deal with the devil..." he closes his eyes in thought.

Meanwhile, Jim and Manny have quietly walked over to the other side of the room. Manny picks up the chest with the cross in it, and starts to walk back towards the door.

"I am not sure anything can be done to save your soul at this point" says the priest. He shakes his head, and notices Manny carrying the chest. "Hey! What are you doing with that"
Jim runs up to the priest and stabs him in the leg. The priest turns to Jim, but Jim runs underneath the table in the middle of the room.

You, Manny, and Jim run out of the room. You head towards the exit of the church. You see a few dead monks on your way out; the bandits you saw earlier must have killed them.

Eventually, you make your way out of the forbidden city, only having to kill a couple more monks on your way out. You head back to town where you should be safe to plan your next move.

Buy the magic infused plate armor

>>378591
You buy the magic-infused plate armor for $250.
Do you want to equip it instead of the monk robe you are currently wearing? The monk robe has higher holy defense, but the magic-infused plate armor has higher physical and magical defense.

And, where would you like to head next?

How do we free the ghosts again?

>>378676
The ghosts become free when they kill an adventurer.
Specifically, they have to kill someone who wants to explore new places.

>>378686
I meant when we read that book about how the spell came to be and how we can fix it if we gather people or something.

>>378634
>Open the chest and touch the sacred cross, to teleport to the angel's location

>>378714
The monks that originally developed the spell had worked to figure out how to undo it. Unfortunately, they were murdered before they could undo the spell. The knowledge has since been lost.
The spell can also be undone by destroying the thing it was cast on; in this case. It was cast on the land. You're not able to sufficiently destroy the land.

>>378721
>Then as the angel how to kill the ghosts.

You open the chest to reveal the sacred cross inside it. It seems to be radiating white light. You, Manny, and Jim all touch the cross at the same time. Suddenly, you find yourself somewhere else. The ground feels soft, and there is a thick layer of fog covering about 2 feet off the ground; you can barely see Jim. You take a step forward, and are surprised by the amount of drag your leg feels. It feels similar to wading through water.
You hear a sound behind you, and turn around. There is a being with large white wings. He is wearing a robe that looks similar in style to the monk robes, except that it is glowing. This must be the angel that you're supposed to kill.
The angel speaks, "Mortal, why have you come here?"
You remember what the devil told you when you were given the quest to kill the angel: 'You're not quite strong enough for it yet'. You wonder if maybe you should try to train more before fighting the angel.

Heaven
Ground feels soft, clouds obscure view below about 2 feet. Feels similar to wading through water.
Enemies:
Angel

You decide to ask the angel about the ghosts. "What can be done about the ghosts that are trapped at the ruins? Is there anything we can do to free them?"
The angel signs, "We've already done our best to free as many of the ghosts as we can. Unfortunately, the spell there is made specifically to prevent us from taking the souls, so it is difficult for us to break through. At this point, the only way would be to destroy all the land, so the spell loses it's anchor. That is what the other angels tried to do, but I will not let them destroy the land over here. I've been protecting this small piece of land for 80 years now. There are many people here who are faithful, and I do not wish for them to die. It is unfortunate that we cannot free the ghosts."

>Talk about something
>Ask how to get back to The Island
>Fight

This is intended to be the final boss of the quest. Feel free to run away now, to go do other things and train more before actually trying to fight him.

>>378852
Why dont you make more land and move the living there? Or build everyone boats to live on. Give them the power of flight? There are alot of ways to fix this. I mean flight is just magic.

>>378898
"They [the other angels] want to make sure that something like this can never happen again. A spell that traps souls on earth and prevents them from passing on, is not something that should exist. Therefore, they want to make sure that no one who knows of the spell is left.
We have saved some humans, they are being kept in an underground cave right now. They were chosen because they have no knowledge of this spell at all."

>>378933
Does anyone there actaully know the spell? Why not just pretend to be a beggar and ask? Or wipe everyone minds about spells and magic? Teleport everyone to a pocket dimension and slowly sort them out from people who do or dont know that spell. Plus if you do that I can build a boat and be a "Hero" Then people will aspire to be me and be good people. Thus getting you more good souls. By the way, the only mention of that spell is in the Forbidden City. I have no problem with that spontaneously combusting.

(If you could not make things up to make sure I can not save everyone would be nice. I am not saying you are im just saying I do not think you should.)

>>378956
Well, it's already been decided that the people living on The Island aren't going to have a happy ending.
There was the prophecy from the ghost >>336276 that The Island ends up destroyed.
And some stuff from the history book >>355638 about the rest of the angels trying to destroy The Island.

If you do want to save some of the people, you won't get much help from the angel. Because the people he likes the most are the monks and priests, but they're the ones who have the most knowledge of the spell.
Of course, you were already on a quest to kill this angel, so it's OK that you disagree about some things. Maybe you should try to work together for a bit, before turning on him.

>>378956
You ask the angel "How many people here actually know of the spell? Many have heard rumors that ghosts exist, but just that amount of knowledge shouldn't be a problem, right"
The angel sighs again, "Pretty much all the members of the church are aware of it. There may be some other random people in town that are sufficiently ignorant, but since most people in town dislike the church, no one bothered to check"
"If I find people who know nothing of the spell, can you teleport them to the shelter?" you ask.
"I... am able to do that"
"Great!" you exclaim. "Can you send me back to earth so I can start looking"

You suddenly find yourself back at your house, with Manny and Jim.

Go around asking people if they know how to become immortal. Not if they know the spell if they can become immortal.

>>379148
You decide to start by talking to some people you know. You mostly kept to yourself before becoming an adventurer, so you don't have many friends. Freddy and the Old Wizard are probably the two people you are closest to right now.

You go visit Freddy.
"Hey Freddy, how's being an adventurer treating you?"
"It's going great! CC, John, Carl and I are having lots of fun"
"Say, Freddy, do you know anything about becoming immortal?"
"Immortal? I can barely fight the wolves in the forest! I did hear a rumor that the ruins is haunted by ghosts. Do you think those ghosts are immortal?"
"Maybe" you say. Freddy seems to know sufficiently little. It should be possible to save him, along with his animal companions CC, John, and Carl.

Next, you visit the Old Wizard.
"Are you here to learn some spells" he asks.
"Actually, I was wondering what you knew about immortality. Like, how would one become immortal?"
"That is a dangerous thing to be seeking" says the Old Wizard. "The quest for immortality can lead men to do things they should not do. When I was young, this was not an island, and there were many more cities and towns throughout the earth. Some monks' search for immortality lead to the disaster that happened many years ago."
"Oh, OK. I won't look into that any further" you tell the Old Wizard. As expected of an old wizard, he is very knowledgeable about the past and about spells. Unfortunately, he won't be saved.

>>379215
Mind wiping? Also im fine with that maybe we can send all the smart ones to a mini dimension where the spell doesnt work until they die.

You spend the rest of the day walking around town, asking people how much they know about immortality. Most people don't know about the spell. A few do, though.
Once night comes, you head back to your house. Manny and Jim have been hanging out there; Manny doesn't share your enthusiasm for saving people. You head to the sacred cross, and teleport up to visit the angel. You inform him of the people who are able to be saved. He thanks you, and then you are back in your house.
The next day, you wake up and head out. You notice that the people you told the angel about are no longer here. Some people in town are concerned about the mass disappearance.

What will you do today?

That's it for tonight. I'll be back tomorrow.

Beat up some monks. Can we fight a demon without losing companions?

You, Manny, and Jim head off to the forbidden city. There's a new monk guarding the gate. You easily cut him down with your sword of darkness. You wander through some alleys, occasionally killing lone monks who are unlucky enough to meet you.
After a few hours, you decide to leave the forbidden city. You're pretty tired from all that training.

You've levelled up twice from the training! You're now level 11, Jim is level 10, and Manny is level 9.
You, Manny, and Jim each have 20 stat points to spend. Stat points are used to increase physical/magical/holy/dark attack/defense. HP and MP increase automatically at a set rate.

>Can we fight a demon without losing companions?
Depends on how the rolls go. Right now, you can probably defeat a lesser demon without losing anyone.
A greater demon will very likely kill at least 1 party member right now.

>>381474
Let's rough up some lesser demons!

You decide to go train against some lesser demons. You and Manny remove your monk robes, since the holy defense won't do much good in the demon realm. You put on your magic-infused plate armor and Manny puts on his dark cloak.
You, Manny, and Jim head to the cursed forest, where you sacrifice a goat at the alter, to open the portal to the demon realm.
You are greeted by a booming voice "Oh, I see you've gotten a bit stronger. Keep training and you'll surly complete the quest I gave you"
"Yes, we're here to train. We would like to fight against a lesser demon" You say.
A lesser demon appears near you.

Well, I think this is the end of this quest.
I'm not going to make another thread
