We should have gathered a party.

Lets try and be as stealthy as a noob can be and stay out of sight/mob sight radius.

>>34176008

You glance around the darkness and can barely make out the appearance of a few stray "mongrels" (since dog would not fit their mangly appearances). It seemed that at night, the rabbits usually right outside the beginning area are instead filled with wild dogs. The dogs look disinterested with you however to you, they look like great mounds of exp and items
Of course, you quickly equip your lone dagger as you decide to

Observe the dogs. If they are hunting try to ambush they while they feed. Otherwise use the knowledge to avoid the pack.

You draw on a multitude of video games you have played in the past as you decide the most effective method for killing the expbags would be to lure them out one at a time (i.e. kiting) by getting just within one of the dog's eyesight so that it would come to you. Unbecknogst to you, dogs have incredibly good smell and rely on that in night hours like these. Luckily it seemed that the wind was your ally.

You weave close to the dogs throwing a stone at one of the dogs before quickl weaving away drawing with you one of the dogs. You understand there are a multitude of methods in killing it according to recordings from streamers of the game
Do you

>>34176798
No, not anymore after I was given the recap, no thanks to you.

>>34176854

No trap. If we're crossplaying, let's do it properly instead of having no appeal.

>>34176854
I'm entirely fine with trap. IT's a MMO after all.

>>34176768
You decide that the best course in this kind of situation would be to use your agility to get a chance to stab the wild dog in its weak point.
The dog rushes at you in a single-minded animal like manner (pretty unsuprising with it being an animal) as you easily dodge the tackle to your side before promptly stabbing the dagger deep into the dog's neck. You're about to celebrate your first victory before you come to a quick realisation... the dog was still fucking alive. The dog skids to a halt and once again charges at you however this time, the combination of shock at its resilency and the lack of a weapon give it enough time for it to tackle you down onto the ground, its maw biting deeply into your arms. Normally this would be enough pain for screams however due to the numbing of pain within the game, you only feel a slight prick of what feel like needles.

A quick glance at the system screens at the edge of your vision shows that you have
>lost 25 hp
and was losing more every moment

You are on the ground with the dog on top of you. The best course is to
>try and push it off

You cannot view its stats, that skill according to your knowledge is limited to archers, assassins, certain spells and certain gear.
All you see above the dog's head is
"wild dog level 3"

>>34176886
>grab the knife still stuck in its neck and use it to kill the dog

Goddamn options, you scary!

>>34176954

>>34176982
QM's have lives too...
Also its 10 mins per update

>>34177003
With a inhumane howl which is very very unladylike, you grasp the dagger in the dog's back with your free hand thats not getting chomped on and promptly stab it straight into the dog's eye where it goes with a squish into the dog's brain. After ripping the dogs maw of your arm, you pick yourself up and do an external (physical) examination finding that you were
>Currently on 70 Health
>Currently have an injured primary arm
>You are currently level 3 and have 6 unassigned stat points
from the system screen for status.

You look within yourself internally (mentally) to find that even through you just had a had fought battle that you felt no strain or issues whatsoever... guess the fact that there's no pain and that its all virtual makes your mind completely relaxed.

As you pull out the dagger with a grunt, you decide to
>take the time to start cutting up the dog for items (may give time for other dogs to come)
>only cut up somewhat of the dog (name part. e.g. head or leg)
>leave the carcass

welcome to VR

Writing up cutting of head and tail.

>>34177246
Correction:
>Welcome to the first VR ever made

>>34177246
You decide that the best bet is to simply cut off the head (as a trophy) and tail (might be useful) of the dog before the other dogs sense you.

After 5 or so mins of "harvesting", you have finally taken off the head and the tail, with a beep and a whirl, the items are taken into your inventory.

Current Inventory:
>4 bronze coins
>Old worn map
>5 pieces of bread
>5 units of water
>bottle of "Orange Bomb" you haven't drunken
>Dog head (head of a wild brown dog, may be cut up into more parts)
>Dog tail (tail of a wild brown dog)

As you finish up the harvest, you manage to escape towards the forests in the east just a few seconds before the other dogs reach the carcass and start howling like wolves.
You are now within the forest known by the stupid name of "Forest of Death", which according to the map, the cave was near the centre.
You decide to
>explore the forest for a bit
>Head straight to the centre and the cave
>head back to the village
>use items (if so how?)
>assign stat points

>>34177358

>>34177464
You decide that now that you have a bit of spare time that its best you assign your stat points. Of course attempting to become a mage is your goal but intelligence is currently useless to you without any spells. Putting some points in str or agi may be useful but that would be "wasting" points in the long run if you go mage

Or do people want a more focused/ no non-used point approach?

We seriously need the power right now guys, we got a shitton of HP taken there.
I'd say more agility so we can dodge properly, but people don't want to specialise

>>34177595
We can't hit level cap and be the best with a broken build, we gotta think ahead.

>>34177595
3 agility 2 int save 1

>>34177601
And surprisingly enough stength is also used by Wizards, since they don't all have 1 in them, do they?

What's the level cap by the way?

>>34177526
>mfw I make it so that its short-term vs long-term and players are actually following it
Thank you based god.
Keep discussing, I'll wait.
Str is good for extra damage but of course it becomes a moot stat once we're a wizard. Ditching wizard route completely also works of course.

>>34177592
3 in stength and agility

>>34177623
Level cap is "assumed" by players to be 100

>>34177637
>>34177627
>>34177623

>>34177647
Alright i'm mostly fine with that.

>>34177647
This. Honestly it's stupid to put it in INT if we're not going to be able to do anything with it. We might even die out here

>>34177627
Alright, consensus seems to be 3 agility but mixed wishes for the remaining 3 points

>1: all points saved
>2: all points str
>3: all points int
>4: some saved, some used on intelligence
>5. some saved some used on strength
>6. 1 on each (1 saved, 1 str, 1agi

>>34177766
You decide that rather than waste points on str which will become mostly redundant later or wasting points on the future with intelligence that you'll take the middle route and choose agi which will remain useful even after becoming a mage (or at least thats what you hope)

Fear assaults every nerve of your body as you decide on what you believe is the safest course... using your newfound agility to climb a tree in the hopes of whatever the fuck is coming can't climb. Maybe its the fear or maybe its the fact that you've never been that good with the whole "nature" and "green" concept because as you're scrambling up the tree and are about to reach the top
-slip-
goes your hand as you crash down into the ground
>you have lost 10 health
comes the system message however you barely bother because the sight before your eyes sends shivers down your spine. You thought that since its virtual, fear didn't exist, you were wrong.

Before you stood a pitch black ghostly entity with blood red eyes. You've played enough games to recognize even without reading the name above that this is a wraith.
You however still check just for the slight hope that wraiths are weak in this game...
"Lesser Wraith, Level 10"
nope its probably "weak" however you're without a doubt weaker. As its arm reaches towards you, you decide that the best course of action is

writing up fighting, expect to die but of course most of you have already realized that obvious fact.
Starting the fight by saying greetings and chucking the wolf head at it.
Any complaints or changes to the beginning of the fight before I start writing?

>>34178054
Dodge.
Get distance.
Say hi.
Then throw wolf head.
Then dodge some more. Keep our distance, and keep keeping it.
Dodge as soon as he gets in range, attempt to counter attack VERY lightly, chip chip and chip away.

>>34178054
Start with dirt/rock throwing. Easy way to find out if physical stuff hurts.

And dodge like a mofo.

>>34178074
>>34178075
This.
Don't get anywhere near melee combat, since it hasn't thrown anything ranged at us so far, it should be a melee-only

>>34178075
But seriosly, nobody wants to dodge until death for courage and agi training?

>>34178054
You swallow the lump within your throat as you decide, fuck your knowledge, its stupid but you're going to fucking fight this thing. You've had enough of all the fucking bad luck within your life that you had to deal with. Its time for bad luck to kiss your cute ass. You're going to stand up and fight, even if its impossible, even if every goddamn thing in life (and death apparently) wants you to suffer.
>You have gained 5 courage
>You have gained 3 foolishness
>Skill Foolish Courage has been activated, all skills +10% for duration of the fight

You grin a sardonic smirk at the ghast and with a few quick clicks on the system screen, you summon the dog head from within your inventory and chuck it with all your might at the wraith. The munted head touches the wraith for a moment before going through... as a skull.
Fuck, guess that proves that touching that thing is defintely a no-go.
>You have gained intelligence +1
The wraith starts crawling through space towards you with its outstretched arm towards your chest as you frantically dodge...
Roll 1d100+8

>>34178096

Its not that easy anon.

>>34178174
Seems a little unfair we're denied crits while we have critfails.

>>34178191
Do you even understand what the amulet is for? Its what allows critfails, and when we get it "fixed", it will allow crits. Nobody else has that.

>>34178156
The thing's fucking hand crawls towards your chest however acting on an instinct you didn't know you had, you easily dodge to the side without the claw like hand even going near you.
>Agility +1
It tries to grab you a few more times but whenever it reaches near, you would always easily dodge it. It turns out that whilst the thing may be powerful, it was limited to melee and was quite slow too.

You throw all manner of dirt and rocks at the wraith however whilst there is a slight pause when it touches the wraith's body, they quickly exit the other side of the wraith's body as dust. Fuck, you can't really lose but you can't really win... its a stalemate but what makes you the eventual loser is that you feel that you're slowing running out of stamina. You decide to

>>34178263
Like yknow, when we have a torch or flint

>>34178256
You see nothing but trees, its pretty dark so you can't see much further than a few feet in front of you.

>>34178277
Hmm....shit, if we had a way to set things on fire, we could use the orange bomb as an actual bomb, but we don't...

We're dodging and observing but are we using orange bomb or not?

In that case lets do this Lure it to pass through a Large tree so how it deals with them when the wrath phases on the tree throw a rock at it to see if it gets damaged.

>>34178334
Your mind flashes with the thought of chucking your orange bomb alcholic drink at the entity to see the effect but you quickly realise that you had spent 3 bronze on it and that its too much of a waste. Instead you decide to see if those days doing experiments at school had taught you anything at observation.
You lure the wraith into having to phase a tree to touch you however the wraith seems to avoid phasing the trees mostly. This allows you to come to a quick realization, whilst the wraith can phase through objects its limited by the fact that
>trees will damage it because of some tree magic shit
>it has limitations on the amount of phasing it can do
>it's scared of the physical damage of the tree falling on it after phasing through it
>hint: its one of these and not a writein

>>34178375
Only one way to test it out.

>Grab a branch, toss it at the thing

>>34178388
you break of a branch and chuck it at the wraith, it promptly rots to dust after passing through the wraith with a slight pause.

>>34178375
>>it has limitations on the amount of phasing it can do
Its this because when we threw stuff at it there was a slight pause when it hit the wraith.
I suggest we make a makeshift Molotov cocktail with the wolf tail + orange bomb. First we chuck some dirt at it then throw the cocktail and start overwhelming its phasing ability with thrown objects.

>>34178405
It's most likely one of these two then
>it has limitations on the amount of phasing it can do
>it's scared of the physical damage of the tree falling on it after phasing through it
But considering it's been shown to take no physical damage, I believe the former is the one

>>34178405
Its not the third then, although its not like that changes the decision to bring as much matter as possible on him.

>>34178423
Agreed. phasing limitations are the answer.

>>34178434
>>34178433
>>34178418
writing up phasing limitations is the answer

>>34178434
If it has limiting factors on phasing that should mean physical damage would be possible through enough mass.
Or at least trapping it

>>34178449
Makes sense, otherwise it could simply phase into the ground and trap us like a sandpit

>>34178501
The thing would be trying to charge us with its whole body like a gelatinous cube if it could, so im inclined to believe our choice is correct.

>>34178449
You push your brain to the limits in a way that you've never done in school, suddenly an answer comes clearly to your mind.
- the slight pauses
- the fact that it doesn't phase through trees
- the fact that its a "lesser" wraith
all of these hints along with your over 10 years of videogame knowledge shows you that there is only one possible answer.
The lesser wraith has limitations on the amount of phasing it can do.

>>34178529
>Your thoughts are interrupted by a claw like hand from the side which you barely dodge
Oh come on!

And honestly, as it stands, I don't think we have too much of a chance. It's phasing ability shouldn't "run out", it's not like another HP Bar after all....right?

>>34178529
>>Keep dodging whilst throwing stones and dirt at it until its phasing ability stops
>>attempt to get it to phase through tree using yourself as bait
We can do both

>>34178529

>attempt to get it to phase through tree using yourself as bait

>it has limitations on the amount of phasing it can do

>>34178551
Itll leave it stuck in the tree, where we can get stab-happy.

>>34178551
be glad, if I had failed the perception roll, we could have had our little einstein moment but died.
It's natural that trying to figure things out whilst in a fight will make you lose focus on dodging

>>34178562
whats the system you use?
elaborate please?

>>34178562
>It's natural that trying to figure things out whilst in a fight will make you lose focus on dodging
It's not that complex.
Just keep a proper distance and keep retreating while you think things over

>>34178580
Theres the visible system that players can see (i.e. the stats) and also a hidden system (things like enemy rolls, perception rolls, etc.)
I swear I explained this before
>>34178592
You're character is in the forest at the middle of the night right next to a creepy ghost like thing. Of course its all virtual but that doesn't mean the PC can rationalise that since all 5 sensory aspects are replicated by VR.

>>34178592
There was an option to just dodge, and a perception roll. Its fine.

>>34178592
Well the Wraith is 7 levels higher than us and is flying. We were also distracted by SUDDEN REALIZATION.

>>34178529
writing combination of using self as bait (so it phases a tree) and chucking stones/dirt at it.

>>34178622
It's also exceedingly slow and we have 8-9 Agility

>>34178641
Level. 10. Someone who puts 1 point in agi a level will have more than us.

>>34178655
We are level 3 right now so a difference of 7 levels is 10.

>>34178663
Do you not understand? To a lvl 10, 8-9 agi is normal. Slow enemies can still hit normal speed characters.

>>34178631
You decide that a combination strategy of chucking stones (to waste its "phasing meter" [tentative name until you get online and do some proper research on what its actually called that is]) whilst also using youself as bait in a position that can only be accessed by phasing a tree. You're somewhat tired however you've never been one to give up. The plan begins with you chucking a multitude of dirt and rocks at the ghost, it takes you 18 tries and the better part of a couple of hours (enough that the sun is finally showing its damn ass in the distance) before you finally get the wraith to phase through a tree. You guess its trying to finish you off before the sun fully comes up.
As soon as it phases through, you quickly once again dodge its clawed hands and...

roll 1d100+9

tiredness is making me write alot slower and shorter. I apologise to everyone if my quality is dropping

To be fair I doubt it would have attack us we travelled by day. Now we get the chance to kill Level 10 enemy when were just a level 3.

>>34178744
sweet

We'd better screen cap this, like ingame
We can show it off to people and brag at the bar, maybe get bought a few drinks.

Also when can we start that genderbender quest?

>>34178773
i want pictures, pictures of us kicking wrath ass, also i want to be a trap too, just wait buddy.

>>34178773
But people would know our methods. That means more rivals. We started early so there are still alot of potential players.

Theirs a record button right?

>>34178802
yeah we should make a point not to get too famous atleast with the PC since they might go after us. NPC are a whole nother matter.

>>34178802
How about we take a picture of us mid ass kick, not really giving away much, we can also give bullshit info to people we don't like.

But we show this to a good faction or something, golden fucking ticket.

>>34178773
>>34178802
>>34178813
>>34178818
We should record it simply for the virtue of going over it in our spare time, to iron out our weaknesses and such.

Also we should only try to learn information from the net which are commonly used by all players and verified to work.

Since I highly doubt the best players will give tricks or expoits they learned in the game.

>>34178831

Also true enough we should this.

>>34178744
and... the dodge is well a dodge, you easily avoid its claws. You're about to once again throw a rock at it however there is no need as you suddenly feel the wraith weaken tremendously for some reason (failed perception but this one is pretty easy to guess) however the wraiths luck does not end there as it seems that rotting a huge tree through is NOT a good idea... With a crash, the tree falls on top of the wraith as you just barely manage to get out of the falling tree's path as the falling tree causes other tree's to have a domino effect. The dings of the level ups and the system prompts happily tell you of the result. The lesser wraith was dead and you had succeeded against an enemy 7 levels higher than you.

As the sun cuts lazily across the sky, you push aside the tree to find a mound of dust where the wraith was. You decide to
>Ignore the dust
>Collect it
>chuck a rock at it from a distance
>writein

Also checking your status, you also discover that you have leveled up 4 times and even have some new "things"

Remember to pick up that wolf head we threw at the wraith

>>34178863
Note: How do you guys wish to spend points?
Just say in general like mostly str or mostly agi.
Choose just one for the points to be "mostly" spent on and than one for points to be "minorly" spent on.
Choosing to save points is of course viable

>>34178880
Don't spend it yet.
Lets investigate the cave first and see what happens.

>>34178863
Chuck a the wolf tail at it then if nothing happens to the biological object gather the dust.

Also: Put 3 stat points to strenght and the rest to agility.

>>34178877
its a skull now but sure.
>>34178875
nope. You were too focused on not getting killed to use the inbuilt record function

>>34178880
I prefer after we do the quest since we are pretty close to the quest.

>>34178863
woops missed hp and mana. Should be
Health: 40/250
Mana: 150/250

Right saving the stat points for now until we finish the quest. Then Gather the dust after chucking the wolf tail at it to check how it affect biological object then gather along with the skull if it's not dangerous.

>>34178888
Alright, on another note, you mentioned ways to get around being blacklisted as a criminal for doing bad things, do we use a mask or something?
Because PVP is an important thing if you shooting for the best of the best/faction work

Lastly and what i ment to ask first, will people believe we felled a wrath by showing them the dust?

>>34178863
Writing up chucking rock at the dust before collecting.
Reminds me, do you wish to equip new title (not recommended but its your choice)?
also please come to consensus on how to use stat points please.

>>34178894
>Not re-gaining health after levelling up
Fo shame

>>34178916
>also please come to consensus on how to use stat points please.
Spend none until later.
Don't equip title yet.

>>34178916
Lets look up wizard builds online before we start blowing points.

and make friends the second we complete this quest.

>>34178912
Since real currency purchases in black market's a pretty big thing, most people will just think you're bought it or got it from higher level friend.
Note: whilst your achievement is extremely high, the highest that you've seen stream was when a veteran player made a new account and defeated a level 80 (albeit he had gear). Even if proven, you would only garner mild interest enough for maybe a minor faction to contact you or a slight bit of online fame.

>>34178916
Save points. Equip title.

>>34178947
We can farm wraths in our free time, do we have black market connections?
We might be able to hawk the dust

>>34178916
equip title the risk of PVP is worth the bonus of Slaying a wrath 7 levels higher than you.

>>34178989
Don't equip the title, there's no point. It doesn't give us anything.

>>34178916
Do not equip

>>34178916
After looking through the underbrush and collecting the skull of the dog head you had thrown.
>dog skull get (some areas have decayed through)
You decide you may as well play it safe since you had just risked your fucking life for the past few hours and all. You pick up a rock and chuck it at the dust. Nothing much seems to happen to the rock... until a few minutes later when you pick up the rock and notice that the parts that had touched the dust had "decayed" a fair bit.
It seems that the dust still has some minor properties of its host, to take it, you will probably need a high quality bag or some kind container (e.g. your water bottle or your bottle of Orange bomb) as secondary container. Of course you could always just chuck it in the inventory (bag) and hope you can finish the quest and get back to town before it rots it through.
You decide to
>leave the dust (it could still be here on your way back or after buying a better bag at town)
>collect the dust using a container (choose water bottle or orange bomb bottle)
>just use your bag, you can probably be quick enough

Use the water bottles we had already used, since we hadn't thrown them away yet.

Chug dat water and use the bottle.

>>34178983
Depends on the black market site, theres couple which will be introduced later.
You're highest level user on 2 out of three (those that cover a whole variety of games) and you have no membership on the 3rd (the one made exclusively for this VR MMO)

>>34179014
This.

Have we even entered the cave yet?
We should speed this up a little so we can get more things done.

this is an MMO its all about getting shit done quick so you can fuck around with friends.

>>34179014
You have only one water bottle
You had 10 units of water, they're simply a measurement of how much water you have in, not of the amount of water bottles
It would be like litres basically

>>34179001
Chug the water and use it to collect the dust

Actually it does since our skill foolish courage is one of our aces in overcoming dangerous situations.

>>34179024
Or earning money for our mother.

>>34179029
>Actually it does since our skill foolish courage is one of our aces in overcoming dangerous situations.
We can't upgrade it simply by getting +5 to courage and foolishness. It also isn't that good as it is.

>>34179024
well considering that we need to hardcore earn money to pay off our mother's monthly shit... I think making friends isn't the priority
still waiting for quest end and friendship as well

>>34179040
But it might unlock some hidden stuff in the quest.

>>34179041
Soloing an mmo is a great way to take forever, friends and parties are where its at, also you can invite random people into an XP sharing party then kick the fuck back and let them earn you XP.

>>34179027
Alright. I vote for drinking as much water as we can now, emptying the bottle out and filling it with wraith ashes.

>>34179001
You decide that the best bet would be to chug the water and use the bottle. Rum cost you 3 bronze after all, best not to waste it.
Thirst mid-low > Thirst quenched

>>34179140
Alright, ran back. bit out of breath but lets keep going. If I suddenly don't post for more than 1/2 hour it means I've crashed asleep. Expect next thread sometime tomorrow morning-midday Australian time.

You decide that you shouldn't equip the new title for now, maybe once you're in a more safer area. With a slight stretch, you get up from your relaxed position as you start once again following the system instructions from the map towards the cave. Along the way you decide that you will
>actively search out and kill all monsters nearby
>only kill monsters in the way to your destination
>Avoid all monsters to save hp

>>34179233

>>34179233
>Avoid all monsters to save hp
We don't have a lot of potions/time to regenerate here.

avoiding it is, writing

>>34179233
>Avoid all monsters to save hp

>>34179288
You decide that its best to play it safe, you quickly start heading towards the cave whilst actively avoiding all monster contact. By the time you had arrived to being able to see the cave, it had already been over a few hours.

In the distance you see a moss-overgrown cave with weird scrawlings on the cave surfaces that is barely seeable under the moss, it seems that this is the location. The cave does not appear to be that large or amazing for the "grave of a hero" but than again maybe your modern standards are just a bit different.
As you finally arrive at the entrance of the cave, you notice the feeling of some kind of barrier at the entrance however it seems that whatever the barrier stops, it does not stop you as you easily pass through without any difficulty.

Within the cave, it seems that it is simply a straight corridor filled with wall paintings on both your left and right side. If you cared about the history and what not a bit more than you may have payed attention however you simply walk briskly down the path.

After awhile of boring nothing occuring, you finally reach a fork in the route with two possible choices.
Theres also a supposedly foreboding sign (it looked more derelict to you) stating that
"He who is bound by idiocy head left, He who is bound by courage head right. He who is balanced may see the true path by follo-" the rest of it is too deteriorated by time to read.
You decide to

You mean the two guys who randomly started a vote in the middle of another vote?

Rather than the official vote >>34179086 which had >>34179104 >>34179114 >>34179122 >>34179125
votes not to have it equipped?

>>34179395
You decide to attempt to read the near illegible text, the text is most rotted however you see to be able to see a pattern in the rot... or not? You're about to give up when you realise something... This cave was made to honour some idiot who was basically a "foolish courageous idiot" so maybe you need to become one too to be able to succeed? You quickly equip the "shounen hero" title as suddenly things become much clearer, why would you bother trying to see a pattern in the rot. It should just COME to you right? As you stop focusing on trying to read, you realise you can suddenly read the text.
"He who is balanced may see the true path by following their heart and breaking the heavens themselves". Normally something vague would fly over your mind however you easily perceive the stupid, ridiculous and somewhat retarded logic of breaking the cave roof. Normally you would have issues with breaking a roof of rock which will probably kill you however you were not in a thinking mood. With a jump using your agility and a smack from your dagger, the false PAPER roof breaks. You quickly pick up the sign and...

The vote was back in the forest, the anons who chose not to equip it back than was correct as you had the possible chance of bandits showing up
(Although they all failed their rolls to notice you so it was a moot point)

>>34179501
But this time we were correct since this is place for "foolish courageous idiot" guess there was a stat check to be able to read the thing

>>34179488
Above you, you see what appears to be a small opening to another room however all you can see from your angle is the real rock roof.
You decide that the best course of action is to of course follow the path up.
Jumping up, you manage to grab the opening edge narrowly with your fingers. You struggle with your less than perfect strength however you eventually pull yourself into another room. This room is completely unlike the cave below as it glows with a kind of calming white light.
There is nothing in the room besides a gravestone at the centre. As you approach...
a calm system voice vibrates within your mind
"Congratulations user, you are the 180th to have discovered the grave and the first to have used the balanced path of both foolishness courage to get here"
>You receive +50 in Holy alignment
>You have received 10 fame
>You have unlocked a hidden power. (nothing more is shown on this prompt)
The voice continues
"You may choose a consolation price or attempt to reach the grave. Which do you choose?"
>Consolation price
>Reaching the grave

no other options here
