By the way, I'm not actually the QM. The actual QM ( !!zV8lJfPOoWh ) can't post images because of an IP range ban and had to get an anon to post the OP for him. He should be here, running the actual quest soon enough.

Also, a /tg/ drawfag drew a picture of our darkling slave Juno the other day. Nice job Rotaken!

This may be a bit of a weird question, but does it count as cannibalism in this setting if the meat isn't from the same species? I know some settings think its fine (treating it like a human eating dragon stew) and in others its straight up demonic shit.

Anyway,
>How do you want Juno t handle Daimen's corpse?
Preserve it in the snows for now.
Primary Action:
Make a tool to dislodge the rubble, learning from our previous failures
Secondary Action:
Try to catch a giant firefly
Tertiary Action:

[Average success]

A shovel was sorely needed, you made one using some scraps, the handle is bent a little bit but it will do...

>Your construction skill is increasing
>You have made a crude shovel out of 1 small and 1 medium iron scraps.

You have sent Juno with the Waterskin in the darker bellies of the spire. The possible threat of feral darkling down there was quite a problem. You told her not to fight any of them if she saw them again.

It was tedious to carry the ladder and put it at the right angle to descend to the lower levels. You really need another one. Actually, you might want to make two ladders; this one might give away soon enough due to your poor craftsmanship.

The fireflies continued their thing, flying aimlessly around occasionally bumping into each other. You recall how Juno was temporary blinded when she got too close to one of these buggers. They are generally slow but catching one can be quite tricky.

There were three resting near where the safe used to be. What glamorous thoughts do you have in mind?

>Think of a way to catch the fireflies without getting blinded [D??, Specify]
>Too arduous , choose another action instead [specify]

>>3733330

>>3734072
>>3734127
you will need some sort of a wire to make a net which we don't have. we can't make it out of scrap metal

>>3733330
If I recall correctly, it's quite warm (for a frozen hellscape, that is) today, and we should take advantage of that with our crappy clothes and all. Since it's rare we get to go outside now and we don't have any way to catch or store a firefly, let's do some scavenging on the mainland for food or fibrous plant materials without the liability of an unaccompanied Juno.

Within six hours, You have made it back to the shore, the fur is covering the hole in your coat. It is not perfect but it will do.

There were hints of a road amidst the unbearable snow. Lots of humans must have walked there on their way to their supposed settlement. You found a discarded wheel on the road with broken spokes...could be useful in one way or another.

>You have found a broken wooden wheel

No predators or humans in sight. Good. You thought it was a good time to use the Jardoun. It was a small disc of brass with three layers stacked on each other. You slide the first layer to open it revealing a strange compass with a small button. You pressed it only for the Jardoun to hiss some steam spawning four tiny legs before hopping out of your hands.

It kept bobbing up and down, hissing more steam, before making fast beeps. The indicator needle pointed to your right. The beeping has increased dramatically until...

What's this? Someone has dropped a bit of gold along the road. Yours now.

>You have found 119 gold

The needle kept twirling in all directions afterwards...no precious metals are nearby. You don't think it has a long range as you had thought before.

The third layer had a small counter for how much energy left in it. Such apparatuses can't have a full steam core in them, instead, they rely on smaller versions called steam pivots.

> Jardoun has now 9/10 uses before it needs another steam pivot

Everblossom was to your east, the valley leading to the labyrinthine was to the west. As for the north, you know little of it...there are a series of cragged mountains in the horizon. Flora wise, there were three distinct plants within sight: the highly flammable red string tree with its absurdly long leaves, numerous Blue rusted trees and several giant blue flowers with glistening stamens with a small aura of light...and an inviting smell. Strange...you don't seem to recall seeing these abnormally large flowers before...

Too bad you can't chop the tree with your knife. The axe would have been a much better choice.

>wait some more, maybe something will happen [specify how many hours]
>Harvest the flammable leaves [Specify until how long/how many leaves do you want]
>Approach the heavenly scented flower, cut its stamens for light [or any other rather action to the flower, specify]

>>3734745
How many hours do we have left before it starts to get really cold and dark, and how long will it take us to return?

>>3734761
About 6-8 for pitch black darkness. The weather this day is not as punishing so you can (vaguely) spot the spire from a distance.

>>3734745
>Approach the heavenly scented flower, cut its stamens for light
and then
>Harvest the flammable leaves
Until we can't carry anymore or so that we arrive at the tower shortly before sunset.

>>3734745

What direction the giant leave?

>>3734795
deeper into the great silent to continue his fishing

>>3734793
as you were about to cut the stamen, the whole flower sprang out of the bitter snow! A large rat in disguise with teeth so vicious it can gnaw through rocks. It lunged forward, topping you off with ease.

"Gah, ugrahh!" Your hands grabbed its floral-infested head, barely keeping it from your face. You choose a perilous gamble when you went for your knife jabbing the bastard in the eye. It screeched in pain, backing away with the knife still in its eye. You stood up, your dazed mind was flooded with countless decisions...many of which could lead you to ruin.The other treacherous flowers remained still, watching you and their kin in silence..

>Scream for help
>Ran away to the icesheet, its stubby legs can't possibly outrun you
>Ran away deeper in this half dead forest, maybe you will loose it there

The arrow pierced its smaller head. The rodent went limp in mere seconds. The flower ontop of its back began to wither away before your eyes. Its once heavenly smell was replaced with a fetid bile of death which eventually started to ooze a black foul substance all over its black fur.

The other 'hidden' flowers scurried away from you squeaking in a high pitch until they were gone. The revolting carcass in front of you is giving you some doubts, you don't think it will be healthy to handle this corpse. Not everything in the wild is meant to be eaten or skinned...

What will you do about it?

>Leave it in its bubbling rot, you don't want anything with it (except your arrow and knife)
>You don't care for any potential disease it may bear, you will carry this festering, oozing corpse back to the spire.

You spent about two hours harvesting red strings leaves. Your previous experience with them taught you to be very careful with handling them since they can self-combust at any given moment.

Howls echoed in the skies. Wolves, dire and vicious on the hunt. It was time to leave, the spire awaits.

"Master Gag!" Juno took the warm leaves from your tired hands. It was a tiring trip to be sure.

"Juno clearjuice?" You asked, eyes half shut.

"Ye!Ye! Poor Juno good?"

"Good Juno..." You gave her a pat on her head for her continuous efforts to keep you alive.

"Must inside!" She exclaimed, her teeth WERE sharp but not to point to gnaw chains.

"Bad Juno...Bad!"

"P-poor Juno...bad?" She backed off in shame, sobbing from her mistake. Oh the fragility of that thing...

[Average Success]

You have spent almost half of the day focusing on the main body. The hammer sure helped out shaping some of the parts together. You can't imagine how you would have done it with your bare hands only.

>Your Construction skill is greatly increasing
>Faeirk Progess: 30/60 [Limbs, head, finishing up and testing remains]

[Critical Failure!]

Juno, on the other hand, was too busy with a small boulder which was the main antagonizing force for the rest of the dead. Juno (Without your supervision) was hellbent on dislodging it.

She poured all of strength in the shovel until she accidentally snapped it in half triggering an avalanche of debris which...

1=has made a mess out of the entrance BUT, it greatly increase the progress. Nimble Juno is unharmed
2=has trapped the darkling under a wave of rubble, She looked more annoyed than hurt but she can't move.
3=Swallowed Juno whole, you can hear her muffled cries of help followed by painful grunt. The clock is ticking....

>>3735889
>>3735900
>>3735901

"Juno? Juno!" You can't see her...where is she? WHERE IS SHE?

>>3736028
I don't think she'll die, simply because darklings seem to be very resilient and good at absorbing damage (helps to not have so many organ systems). Still, I can see this putting her out of action for a good bit while she recovers. Being our only source of water, this is bad.

You shoveled away until a sickly hand clawed its way out of its untimely grave. You dropped the shovel, pulling her out of this mess.

>Clearing the way is now 37/100
>You have Rubble (5)

"Master..." Juno tried to smile but she was too dizzy. It felt great saving her for a change. Your eyes were darting all over her, she looked fine except for that oozing injuries in her hunched back and a cut over her head.

The pustules on her back were popped off dripping their disgusting content on the floor. Juno groaned in protest gently shoving you aside.

"Spore Juice,,,open...bad for Master...Juno rest mound..." There were some fungi sprouting very slowly from her back.

"Juno rest mound?"

"Ye...Dead make poor...Juno...good." said the darkling , all slouched over.

>Give her some extra food for today so she can be better
>Tell her to go to rest, keep those spores away from you as far as possible.
>Give her the permission to have daimen's corpse in her mound...maybe this will heal her faster?
>Tell her to get back to work.

mix these two wait until she's in her mound then bring the body over

>>3736140
>>3736141
It was more than ironic to have this coward's body healing Juno's but such is the life in the great silent. A mistress so kind and cruel, so rewarding and punishing.

Well, You have already lit the sludge on fire and you have used its sticky nature with your petty wall. What else can you do with it?

>Think of something to do with the sludge [Specify]
>You have nothing to do, Choose another 2ry action instead
>write in

>>3736165
hmm lets put some in a pot and see if we can attract those fireflies with it but other than that im drawing a blank, though OP of the idea did not elaborate soo

stopping here for now

>>3736165
Set it on fire.

>>3736297
we've done that it produces a thick choking smoke, no good as a fuel

>>3736186
That gives me an idea. If it's really sticky, we can coat something with it like fly paper to catch a firefly and stick it to something and hold it in place. Alternatively, we can use the thick smoke to make them more docile like bees.

>>3736874
i like the first idea but bee keepers have ways of controlling the smoke so it doesnt annoy them

>>3736874
>>3736897
>>3736297
what will it be?

>>3738124
Coat a couple of leaves in sludge and try to hit fireflies with them and stick them to the leaves. Close eyes during swing because of flash.

>>3738171
You dipped two red string leaves in the heavy sludge; last thing you would want is to mire yourself in this sticky substance for another round of bug-catching. You ought to be quick about it, the sludge is starting to harden...

>You have sludge coated red string leaves (2)

Two were dangerously close to the edge at the third underground level. You thought that swinging your leaves blindly would eventually get one of them. Surely closing your eyes while doing so is the way to go...

The dyad have noticed you, their thorax is already illuminating blinding rays of light. You closed your eyes and charged onwards to the edge. These dumb creatures are too slow to evade your sticky lashes, right?

In your blind lashes, you managed to caught a firefly! The sludge has hardened sending the flashy bug into neverending pain. It was still struggling to break free to no avail. You opened your eyes to see your new catch only to be blinded by a desperate flash of light. You are still holding that leaf real tight though. Never to let go.

The struggle almost ceased minutes later, the firefly is emitting a dim light, one of its wings is shredded from constant back-and-forth with you. What are you going to do with a seriously injured firefly?

>>3742236
>>3739055
>>3739143
unfortunately, since the fireflies are larger than a medium sized dog, a single iron scraps wont do, three at least are needed (you have two)

what would you like to do with the firefly?

>>3745135
Oh bloody hell, I was under the impression they were about the size of a goliath beetle, not many times the size of the infamous Carboniferous insects (grumble grumble square-cube law).

Make some twine to tie it up with around the base while we figure out what to do with it and what it eats.

>>3745159
Well, you used the other leaf as some sort of leash pinned between the outrageous pile of rubble. You were quite curious, what do these floating lamps eat? All they do is to buzz their wings here and there.

The bug was out of flashing lights, it had a dimmer one. You have a feeling that it might die real soon enough with that grievous injury in her wings. You certainly can't afford to feed it anything. Not a chance.

That was a very busy day, you had to relocate your bed as far as possible from Juno, her fungal mound is looking too...infectious to say the least.

Tornus, 11th of Uolk (Summer) (-9 Ar)
You woke up to the sound of a muffled scream. Terrified, you had your bow and knife at hand only to find Juno sleeping in her hazardous mound. Ugh, you must have been imagining things...

Your slave is out of commission for the time being. You doubt bringing her back to work is a good idea, you prefer to be spore-free. As for your firefly, It was barely clinging to life, its wound is now oozing a golden liquid....very similar to that one time you hooked into one of them last week. No lights what so ever. The not-so-little thing will surely perish soon enough.

While you were busy eating, the firefly crawled towards the chained door bumping its head at it. Strangely enough, it started to glow once more. You wonder....

You never thought the limbs would take so much time. You were almost finished with that scrappy automaton. Almost.

>Your construction is now 2! Higher level of construction will allow you to understand more complex designs. furthermore, designs that are of level 1 will have a lower dice.

>Faeirk Progress: 55/60 [Head and testing remains]

>You have an Eureka! Eureka is a random stroke of determination Gaeleath can have which nullify the supposed next roll. It doesn't work if one would suddenly shift to a more complex task to reap this bonus to its full extent.

You were so eager to finish your first construct but you had other things in mind for the rest of the day. What shall you do about this?

>Quickly finish the head, no more tests need [this will consume 1 action, no rolls]

[Eureka!]

You were consumed by your desire to finish the Faeirk that you failed to notice the hours flying be. It was mostly the tests you had to perform to ensure its vital functions. Locomotion:Check, coordination: Check, manipulation: Check. All systems nominal...

>You have Faeirk (Winded up, unnamed)
Faeirk:
-Faeirk must observe an action first so it can repeat it until it has no power left. Then it can comply to verbal commands of said action
-Faeirk must be rewound to charge its power, this process may take several hours
-Faeirk will not deviate from its original command at any circumstances
-Faeirk is not capable of learning as well as complex command (1-2 single actions at best)

You gave it some minimal facial feature to make it look more appealing (even though it can't speak.)

You waved your hand at your first creation. It did the same, repeatedly, without knowing the meaning of it.

Should you give it a name?

>Yes....[Specify]
>No, Faeirk is good enough

Adamonsa or Adam was a well known human slave, a well respected thrall commander among the elves. She has lead our slave army to many victories. It may seem a bit too grandeur naming a lowly construct after this hero but no one is here to judge you for it. You like this name.

It took the automaton a while to register its new name. Adam was anxiously waiting for a new command . However, you were too exhausted to have it replicate your action.

>Order Adam a SIMPLE command [This may take an action from tomorrow since you would have to do said command first. specify]

>>3747680
If we choose to train Adam to remove rubble instead of just sleeping, will we get a penalty on the next day?

>>3748063
yes, you will have to move the rubble yourself first hence the penalty

>>3748197
Okay, then I'll go with sleeping. I don't think getting 1 night of rubble removal is worth the increased chance of a terrible failure tomorrow

>>3748203
not this kind of penalty, just 2 actions instead of 3

>>3747694
>>3747775
>>3747986
>>3748012

Of course, you had to teach Adam to remain idle. In hindsight, you should have made something to shut it down. Lesson learned.

You went to bed feel proud of your accomplishment, a very first step in saving the world from the clutches of the frost blight.

Masdus, 11th of Uolk (Summer) (-6 Ar)

"Master!" cried a familiar voice before you returned to the land of the living.

"W-wwuh?" Juno was on top of you, radiating her usual warmth. Something was strange about her. She looked...younger and with more scales. The pustules were slowly growing back.

You struggled a bit to get out of the bed. "Need dead soon..." She muttered.

Right, another corpse for her fungal mound. You would bette-

"Juno! Stop!" It was too late, she swallowed the firefly by the time you made it to the surface. "Dead glowy, food!"

Her words betrayed her moments later when she threw up the squished carcass of the bug, The darkling shook her head trying to get rid of the golden ooze from her latest meal. You should have seen this coming.

"Friend?" Juno had finally noticed Adam who remained in the same spot you had left it.

"Yes, Adam: Juno friendly..." You pointed at your slave.

"...." Adam did the same, It didn't react when Juno gave it a lick on the face (Probably because it doesnt have a tongue)

Unlike Juno and Gaeleath, most automatons don't need rolls for their actions. They rely on Workforce (Or WF) to perform their actions. WF is the power inside them, each action will consume WF, the harder/winder the action, the more WF it will consume. WF is calculated per hour.

[Tremendous Success!]

No predators in sight, good. You saw more of these vile rats hidden under their floral disguise but you rightfully chose not to tangle with them.

However, unlike last time, you have found some prey. A...Saelmira?

Looks like it, except with a fuzzier fur. They are quite abundant in the everblossom (but you didn't have the right to hunt them, this was only reserved to the elite). Saelmira are small leporine creatures with pensile long whiskers capable of choking the life of an adult elf. They are generally peaceful creature unless provoked.

Now, you could just shoot it from afar for the whiskers...they have medical properties. However, the meat itself is stingy and almost inedible. The other choice at hand is a... courting dance, it will make shed its delicious fur with a sugary substance before it will be in heat.

It won't try to mate with you or anything, the dance itself will arouse the little creature. That is all. If you are going for this route, you must set aside your weapon, they will smell any ill intent on you.

It moved at last second, the arrow initially pinned down its fuzzy left foot but the leporine managed to break free bolting away deep into to the relative safety of the frozen forest. It was absurdly fast even with a crippled leg.

It should bleed out eventually and die in a slow, painful manner. Question is: are you willing to spend more time tracking it down? The trip back to the spire will take several hours at the very least...not to mention potential predators lured by the scent of an injured prey. You really despise travelling back without the guidance of the sun....who knows what does the darkness hide?

>track it down deep in the forest, the trail of blood should make it an easier task. This will consume some time but it is a risky endeavor

This was a risk you were not willing to take. You continued sulking about at the edge of the shore, hoping you would find another prey...

...and so you did. Another Saelmira standing on its whiskers to gain some height, shaking its fuzzy rump. This one was slimmer with a more colourful whiskers. A male so anxious to copulate that it is willing to endanger itself in the process. whatever your intent is, you ought to do it real quick you have already wasted too much time.

You extended your right arm towards the creature slowly lowering it, a sign of submission, It responded by coiling its whiskers around your arm accepting your dancing proposal. Time to impress this little one...

[Slight Failure]

You thought you were nimble enough to sretch out like so...alas, you almost broke your back in your dance. The only thing that was broken was your pride. Your spectator wasn't impressed at all. It simply ran away in frustration before you would consider grabbing your bow.

You leaned against one of the red string trees, your eyes are swelling with tears. A failure after another. You merely wish to have a single day without hardship, is this too much to ask?

"Hardly graceful for an elf, but you will do.." You turned your towards a sickly man wearing an enchanted feathered robe with unholy trinkets dangling from multiple chains around his chest and hip. You weren't sure if he could truly wield that scythe he was holding.

A necromancer, a dabbler in the art of the dead. His scrawny voice didn't match his old, decaying body. Behind him was a wall of flesh, a flesh golem of many limbs and heads murmuring in agony. It had a large carriage stitched to its back....a mobile home for this vile person.

"An exile i presume? Your kin barred me from entering your home, This everblossom. Shame, I was going to offer them my wares..."

"..." You remained silent, weapon at hand. Elves absolutely abhor necromancers. You are no exception; they offend nature and the strings of fate.

Your stomach growled in protest, causing the necromancer to laugh "Dancing for your meal is no good. i can tell! Oh your poor hungry elf...Innocence of a lamb lost in a slaughterhouse. Ahaen can offer your some meat." he paused, a devilish grin arching over his mouth "In exchange for some meat of yours...Care to indulge in my fantasies? I have never had an elf before..."

"...!" You held your tongue, fearing the worst of him "Are you afraid? You shouldn't, My corpses are merely found on the road. I engage in murder only in self-defense unlike most of brethren. If i wanted your delicious flesh by force, we wouldn't have this delightful conversation in the first place."

The meat Goliath took a knee(s), lowering its back as the necromancer opened the carriage extending his pale hand for you "Shall we?"

>>3750386

>>3750369
>>3750378
"You offend me with your silence, My dear. I can wait to ravage your temple of ecstasy...your corpse is more than willing to oblige! Ahaha!" Despite his menacing words, He didn't actually do anything foul other than entering the carriage by himself.

"We shall meet again..."The colossus has left with its maniacal master. So many things could have gone wrong. A sigh of relief has escaped your lips, You had no strength in your to resume your hunt. Empty handed, you took the way back to the spire.
.
.

You couldn't believe your eyes when you entered the spire. Almost all of the rubble has been cleared out! You can see actual stairs!

Juno pounced on you playfully "Master! Master! Juno and Maniron good?"

She pointed at various objects found in their excavations

>Clearing the way is now 87/100

>Adam's WF is now depleted (0/100)
>Adam has learned dig and carry
>Adam has worked for 10 hours, 1 hour= 5 progress in clearing the way.
>Each single hour of the command dig has cost Adam 10 WF

Juno and Adam have found
>Rubble (300)
>Broken Tool (Crude shovel, from their constant work)
>3 Small iron scraps
>1 Large iron sheet
>1 Golden necklace
>1 Strange glove?
>1 Blue ribbon key
>34 Gold

You could barely walk in the main entrance; the dyad did little to organize their mess. The rubble was littered all over the place. What would you want Juno to do about it?

>Nothing, She ought to have some sleep
>Nothing, She will spend the night rewinding Adam
>Order her to put all the rubble outside
>Order her to store it in the lower levels
>Write in

>>3750478
So now we have to deal with an awfully rapey-sounding, creepy necromancer. Brilliant.

>Nothing, She ought to have some sleep
We'll work on bricking up the entrance tomorrow, and store downstairs all the stuff we don't use then. How much WF does Adam gain per hour of being rewound?

I'm confused about what the "dyad" is, it seems to have referred to three different things this thread. Could you describe the three "special" items too?

>>3750499
dyad=triad
duo=trio

>>3750504
*Duo=Dyad
Trio=Triad

>>3750499

>>3750516
*on how

>>3750478
>Nothing, She ought to have some sleep

>>3750478
>Write in
>Spend about three hours rewinding and then go to sleep
We don't need a full workforce Adam tomorrow. She can get a bit of sleep so tomorrow she'll have the strength to clear the mess (I'm thinking to the lower levels)

>>3750532
Actually support this. We can teach Adam construction tomorrow, and it should be a lighter duty than digging rubble so the charge should last most of the day at least.

>>3750532
>>3750549
You had one last thing to do before sleeping: rewinding Adam. It was very tedious and uncomfortable to do for three hours. When that was done, you set Adam to idle before going to bed.

I think we meant for Juno to do that
>>3750532
Did you mean Juno?

Yardus, 13th of Uolk (Summer) (-10 Ar)

Juno was shivering from cold by the time you have woken up, She needs a corpse for her mound soon enough. You also ran out of edible food, not quite, you still have some meat chunks but you need to cook them. You are also one day away from running out of water. These shortages all chose to team up against you at the same time. On the bright side, Adam doesn't need any of those pesky necessities.

Yeah, I did mean Juno, which is why I said she instead of we. I guess I'll just try to be more specific in the future. It shouldn't be a big deal though.

>>3750707
Did 4chan eat your message there?

>>3750728
i thought otherwise
>>3750731
nope, waiting for your replies

>>3750629
How much wood could we get from dismantling the broken wheel and how much do we need to cook the remainder of our meat?

>>3750887
enough fire for a couple of hours
it will be enough

>>3750629
Actions:
1st: Hunt something in the mainland to get a corpse and some food
2nd: Cook the meat we have
3rd: Clear out some of the rubble before night
Juno: Come with us and help forage/carry stuff
Adam: Keep clearing the way

>>3750891
What about water? We'll be out by tomorrow unless we get some today. Also Adam needs 26WF to finish the clearing, so we should have Juno spend a short amount of time winding him up to that number before we set out.

>>3750915
I was thinking we'd be better off trying to get Juno a corpse ASAP so she's above 30%. I'm afraid if we send her off to get water we'll roll a 24 or something and have her die or get injured further. What do you think, though?

Also, not against having Juno spend an hour or whatever it takes to get Adam enough strength to clear things up.

>>3750915
>>3750923
what will it be?

>>3750923
I was under the impression a lower efficiency just meant she was less effective at the task rather than more likely to fail. But she still can't get much done at 30%. We'll need to ration our water and stick to light activities tomorrow to make it last long enough for Juno to get us some.

So, after whichever of us is better winds Adam up a bit, she comes with us with the axe as an escort and porter. If we don't find anything that needs hauling, she can chop some plants or wood.

>>3750955
What we really need at some point is an automaton that digs for water or for some way to remove the frostblight from the snow.

>>3750955
Also, forgot to say that I agree with the plan of having us go to the mainland with Juno after she winds up Adam for an hour or two or however long it takes to let him clear the rest of the rubble. During the windup we can move some of the rubble outside (the tertiary action from before)

>>3751149
I'm thinking bow and arrow, small knife, Orcish battleaxe (for Juno), 1 Gujim orb, and the waterskin. Others can probably add onto it, since we have Juno with us to help carry stuff.

>>3751149
Bow and arrow and knife (the usual fare). Battleaxe for Juno and a Gujim for emergencies. Jardoun in case we come across something interesting.

[Slight failure]

First things first, you ordered Juno to wind up Adam while you remove some rubble. There was a slight problem; you had no shovel at your disposal. That didn't avert you from picking up the little bits, anything your hand could carry.

>Clearing the way is now 88/100

Adam would have to do the same, It will be less efficient but unlike you, It won't get tired.

>Adam's WF is now 24/100

Juno has slowed you down immensely, without her radiating warmth (and any protective clothes to speak of), she was quite vulnerable to the cruel weather. It took you more than usual to reach the shore. Now, your original plan was to hunt anything for food but this was quickly to change when you spotted two Faroi setting up some sort of a trap on the road. A man with a broken horn and a giant slab of iron as his sword and a women with a sickle and a dagger. Both of them were too busy to notice you,You quickly ordered Juno to hide behind a fallen tree.

"M-m-aster...Home? Pleaase?"

"Sssh...Juno no Voice. Juno Calm.." She was already trembling from their sight. This Ttysarl she spoke about has left a mental scar in her fragile mind. She is near helpless against any giant.

This trap was hidden under the snow in the middle of the road. Moments later, A human arrived on a horseback pointing to the east, there was a caravan (or so you assumed) of sorts coming this way through the horizon.

The human was nimble enough to climb up one of those red string trees, hiding amongst its higher branches. As for the giants, they pulled out a small totem changing their form to an innocent tree in a flash. An ambush in the making...

>Slowly walk away to another spot before they would notice you [D??]
>Stay where you are, watch the ambush in utter silence
>Reveal yourself, offer the group your aid (Or say something else) [D??]
>Form a plan to attack the gang with your trembling darkling [D??, Specify]
>Warn the upcoming caravan just before they would hit the trap (you can't reach them directly, the gang has its eyes on the road)
>Write in
