Punch the goddamn squirrel

I can't not take that option.

That squirrel needs to be punched.

Yeah, not much in the way of legitimate alternatives there.

You lash out at the branch. The squirrel, alert at your movement, springs up onto another branch. Its tiny eyes blaze down at you, staring, assessing. Judging. You keep an eye on it as you push past.

You step forward into the clearing. Above you, trees twist and climb towards a dark, brooding sky. Rain streams from the branches onto your upturned face. And yet the little space feels warm and intimate, sheltered. You can't quite place the smell, a heady aroma like pine forest but more pungent.

Before your feet lie a number of tiny memorial markers, none bigger than your shoe. Which will you examine?

A cross of twine and chicken bone.
A pile of coloured stones.
An earth-spattered snow globe.
A little statuette.
None of them�just look around the perimeter.

No change in stats.

Naming him Dad was the best idea.

Although a grisly little thing, the cross is surprisingly well-engineered, the bones bound together in a staggered and rigid structure. A small panel is incorporated into the design, labelled in black felt tip and wrapped in clingfilm. It reads, FOR DESMOND. HE LIKED BONES.

It's clear now. This is a pet cemetery. Do you really want to reach for the humerus and add a decrepit zoo to your horde?

Dad lurks near the entrance, saying nothing. His eyes are non-committal.

A movement in the trees draws your attention. Was that a flutter, or something scurrying between branches? It sounds again, behind you. You get the feeling that you are being watched by something. By several somethings, in fact.

Flee quickly.
Walk away at a restrained pace.
Wait and see what happens.
Touch the humerus and see if you can sense anything.

Naming the vampire dad is going to pay off handsomely.

Wait and see if that squirrel comes at us again.

quote:

As soon as your fingers brush the surface of the humerus you feel a strange tingle and pull them away. The feeling dissipates, leaving only lingering pins and needles.

The clearing is hushed, expectant. You take a deep breath and try again.

This time the tingle spreads to your head. You have a brief sense of sparks swirling around you, a column of tiny extinguished lives inhabiting the clearing. After a few seconds, you get dizzy, and snatch your hand away.

quote:

You blink, then blink again. The clearing becomes a strange double image. One version is offset to the side, its colours blurred and intense. Your legs feel weak beneath you, your body too heavy to hold up. The scents overwhelm you and you drop to your knees.

Dad is suddenly there beside you, a cold hand against your neck. "I'll put in a good word for you," he says. "But you'll have to convince them yourself. Try to think like�" His words slur. You try to look up at his face but your head turns too slowly.

Your breathing slows and the ground pulls at you. Seconds later you're stretched out, raindrops pattering against your cheek. The last thing you see as you fade are blades of grass, so close to your eyes that they seem like towers.

quote:

(fIrE)

The sun is low over the burning dunes. A smell comes on the sirocco, telling you of death soon to come. Already you can feel the crunch of bone, taste the juices of the meat as they break over your dry tongue. You lope into the night through gusts of sand, your mate howling in excitement as she follows.

The dying bird comes into sight beneath a stony bluff. It has found a crack between two rocks but you can easily reach it. Anticipation floods you, beating like thunder. Yet your mate barks. Another pair has come to lay claim to the bird. Your mark is recent and clear. They are trespassing.

Warn them off.
Try to reason with them.
Take only half the bird and share the rest.
Attack them.

Stats posted:

A successful necromancer must manage an array of vital character statistics.

Control: 66% (+1)
Energy: 56%
Luck: 63% (+1)
Corruption: 4% (+1)
Humanity: 21%
You might as well have erected a sign on your house saying NECROMANCER BASE HERE.

Your undead army consists of:
Skeletons: 6
Zombies: 3
and it has killed 3 people in total.

Hmm... I probably missed an earlier stat change, as I'm pretty certain reaching out with the humerus isn't a corruption choice. It had been a while since the stats were up anyways.

I think we're a coyote now, so we should act like one and warn them off.

# ? Oct 10, 2014 21:56

We may be a coyote, but we're still Bastienne. Share is fair.

Hope slams back through you as you drop into life again, gulping furiously, forcing water through your gills even as the pain behind your eyes begins to fade. Waves toss you this way and that as the immense shadow above slips into motion, the water hammering as it moves off.

You take a moment to calm down. This place is unfamiliar, the reef and the weeds oriented all wrong. Yet the light from above lets you sense the direction of home.

Start for home.
Explore.
Hide to recover strength.
Find another to communicate with.

The fact that we're looking for home suggests we're a salmon or something else territorial, and so the first thing we should do is go home.

Bought this the other day and just gave it a quick playthrough.
One of the better CoG I've spent money on. Glad I had this LP to push me into finally getting it.
