The machine orb is broken. A thing of duty and mechanism is struggling to complete its function. The orb is singing, but the song is broken. Is the song a function of the orb, or is the orb the manifestation of the song? The answer is both and neither.

The gears sing the song that commands the gears to sing. The snake vomiting its own tail. The song we remember will help us guide the gears back into place and thus help the orb sing its true song. We don't remember the words but the gears will guide us and when we don't know which gear to shift the melody will move the machine.

It is not a thing to understand or command, it is the simple act of creation and it is something that must flow. Like with our ballista, just let the healing flow naturally.

While doing this consider the masked man in the same way we considered things in the cupcake dimension. We will be in that state in the dream so we can use it to soul-gaze at the masked man.

e:Actually, how long will it take for the authorities to get here.

If there is a monster we are within our right and if none of the bandits remain alive to tell their tale, well then I guess they fired first.

gently caress em. Kill them all and claim they fired first or the monster they illicitly had got loose and made a mess. If they have wealth we can loot it from them but they are obviously waiting to fence stolen product and by letting them go and profiting from their action we are entering into a verbal contract with them to profit from illegal activity.

Kill them all

Im making the argument to press on and kill this thing before it gets away. Anything that isn't "kill it now" will just hurt us more.

We are the only non-expendable unit in our group. Everyone else is paid to fight monsters and death is a very real, very probable outcome. They are compensated for it and as the leader we have to accept that sometimes people are going to die. Sometimes we are going to be the direct cause of their deaths.

It's a dirty business but that's what it is. Every moment our gear is failing more and more and we get more exhausted. We need to finish this now.

BULLSHIT, I CALL BULLSHIT

Some sneaky shenanigans are going on. I wonder if this man somehow knows or employs the bandits. Could it be that there is a corrupt sector of the Church that is instigating monster attacks and then sweeping in later to render expensive medical aid. A primordial ooze would make treatment costs practically nil for the Church and they wouldn't even need to waste precious wealth making money bandages or gold potions.

The theory is that he already knew that the Guild wouldn't have any primordial slime on stock?

The Priest is most likely the one that gave the robbers the rust beast and means to control it in an attempt to steal the slime. The conspiracy is also enraging or releasing dangerous beats to create "emergencies" to profit off of, but supplies eat profits so a primordial slime that they could breed would essentially give the conspirators the ability to print money.

I'm not saying this is at the behest of Quckeen, most likely a subgroup but greed and profit are totally fine so it's most likely not an issue with her.

These brigands have clearly assisted a lawful member of the ITEC during the course of executing fully contracted, authorized, and legal slime reclamation efforts.

It is very sad that they were quickly felled by the arrows from a one, "Frog Waifu" in self-defense before they could turn themselves into the authorities.

Write up something like this as an addendum to the death certificate. We are a legal powerhouse and this is a pretty clear cut "Self Defense" case.


ITEC Form Delta-C-124 "Intervention Casualty Report

A band of outlaws, who has previous committed grievous crimes against the empire through slime theft, set loose on us a strange beast to kill and murder a lawful team of monster hunters. The beast used strange sound to melt armor and was most likely controlled by sound.

Later, after defeating the beast and cornering the bandits, the outlaw in question did use a strange flute device when faced with capture that in all likelihood, and supposition by ITEC members present, summoned the Anklehg and incapacitated our leader through unknown means. It was the quick thinking of our law-abiding and loyal civil servant to attempt to save the lives of all nearby imperial citizens as well as invaluable property of the slimegineers guild by taking rightful and defensive action upon the outlaw.

Even after threatening the wellbeing of the Empire and its citizens multiple times, we saw to attempt medical intervention on the outlaw as all Imperial lives are sacred and our sworn duty to defend form monsters of all kinds (See Civil Statement 13.25-B 'ITEC Riverboat Intervention' as guild character reference'). It is unfortunate that we could not save this misguided individual and thus are doing our duty to report his unfortunate demise during the course of a lawful monster incursion intervention. ITEC extends our condolences to his family and friends and will be conducting a through review of policy as well as increasing medical intervention training for all employees.

On the Shading of a Frog

Due the exotic nature of Skvababts physique (you blush inwardly) a custom-made visored helmet might be what you are looking for. Properly constructed, it would all but negate the harsh-light penalties she might incur from torches or other bright lights in close proximity.
If the visor is retractable, such a device would also let her use her sensitive vision when conditions allow. You imagine it will cost quiet a bit though, and it might require exotic materials.

Find a Gnome to make her a helmet that protects vision as well as enhances optical zoom

She's making us a nice suit of armor. We should do the same. For practical reasons. Business synergy. Not because we like her or anything.

Zbats fly in a single line. Just wait outside the entrance and track there they come out of, then just set up fish trap boxes along the axis. The bats fly in but they can't fly out, or hell, just make it so when the fly in the entrance moves 90 degrees so they only bounce back and forth against the walls.
