Private Comms Challenge Black Sheep

"Hmm... what if there's two types of corruption going on? That could explain two different popups. Wait, there's also the curse stacks... no no, that's something separate I'm pretty sure... Maybe the visual - what's being debuffed exactly? I haven't noticed any unusual penalties to my actions, although I've been primarily using spells. Hey @Herculean Drakecon, notice anything funny with your taunts while fighting Fluffy McFlufferson or while in this place in general?"

(deep sigh) "Yeah... I had that feeling... So not connected to divine domains, got it. Thanks mister."

"Pffft... if anyone's getting fucked it's going to be that Rejiciunt after throwing us on this wild goose chase."

A pause as she considers the Faerin's words, index finger tapping against her lip in thought.

"These weirdly pixelated black brambles briefly popped up before... I'm certain I caught the sight of one when I was scaring Yu-chan earlier with Nature magic."

She gives a somewhat apologetic look the the raven haired boy before continuing.

"Maybe we can see them all now because that debuff expired...?"

Yeah, I'm like 90% sure that the confusion debuff is the reason we didn't see any of this. Or saw what wasn't there, whatever. Keep your eyes open for any more surprises. Or confusion debuffs.

"Not more then the other amounts of creepy stuff this thing was strangely easy to kill. It went down in a single blow which in my short time of playing terroshphere isn't normal.

"Oh come ooon...! Bitch can't even stay down after getting smacked?"

There's an exasperated sigh as the Lepus watches Reji the doll float back up after Herc's beatdown, the crocodile being quick to attack it once more.

"Hey, Yu-chan and Sepulchre, what's up with those altars?!"

@Yugam @Fiora Di Angelo @Herculean Drakecon @Sepulchre af Umbral ​

 

[Yugam]

That is a great question! One Sepulchre definitely knows the answer to! Right, Sepulchre?

(blinks hard and points to self) "Huh? Me? Er, well... I don't really have time to properly analyze it since we're in the heat of battle and haven't unveiled the purpose and function of each alter... but these two have strong religious theming based off Christian orthodoxy, despite the claims these alters are merely dedicated to a god and not the God of the Bible. These alters' demands echo of our encounter with the wolf statue, demanding a sacrifice to a higher power. Persecuting the flesh for divine atonement and all that. In the case of the alters... ach I'm losing their attention! - in the case of the alters their demands require us sacrificing ourselves - (eye roll) proof of devotion and faith - to appeal to a higher power to presumably deal with our esteemed demonic host. My guess is whoever spoke to us at the wolf's statue. Orrrr our demonic host is the higher being in question, but I've witnessed enough here to be fairly confident that's not the case."

"Er, let me know if you've still got questions @Toko. I get excited about this sort of thing, sorry."

". . . nanda?"

There was a confused look on the hare's face as she turned from pummeling the brambles, having clearly struggled to keep up with the very in-depth analysis that the Faerin had made of the altars so far.

"... so, you think they'll work on this asshole?!"

@Sepulchre af Umbral​

 

[aledog]

Pain. Pain. Pain. The pain rushes through your nerves. The cavern pixelates, and it gets harder to see right. Your ears are in a daze, unfocused, and the comms themselves are starting to get choppy.

Sometimes, in the static, you hear the man's voice from when you had entered.

"Failsafe..." "Shut down..."

"Hnnng! Nan-Nandayo...?!"

She can't tell if the sudden pain is from the screaming doll not too far away, or if it has to do with the sudden shift in her vision as her UI seems to start glitching up. Whatever it is Toko is sure of one thing: she fucking hates it.

"Oi!!! Anyone else heard that...? The fuck does it mean by failsafe and shutdown?!"
