Impressive. Investigate the voice.

Oh god I take it back, go see if you can do anything for that person

Fucknasium just sounds like fun.

>>71046
Well, check out the voice but remember what happened the last time you interfered with a Wizard's business.

First save person, second use fucknasium for intended purpose

Spikesby follows the voice. He finds a ... thing in a room all by itself. There is a steel cable attaching it to the wall.

>"Whoah! Somebody actually showed up! You've got to get me out of here! Breaker will probably only be out of the castle for a couple more hours! Get me out of here! Please!"

>>71064
Any lock? Can you cut the cable?

>>71064
Oh god, so many things could go wrong here...

Ask her if she knows anything about the layout of the... wait we can only speak in waks.

Gaah.

Well, the first obvious quest is, would we be able to help her out? Is there any obvious way to free her?

>>71064
Well...
Don't just stand there! Save the weird bug-girl!
Cut that ro-
>steel cable
Fuck.

...Cut it anyways?

>>71064
You can't help her escape once she's free. Breaker will definitely hunt you down if anyone finds out. Tell her this, and cut the chain right where it joins the wall, or somewhere it's visibly weakened. It may look like it simply broke.

Ohgod, we have to save her, but in doing so, we're fucked...

Can we cut the cable?

Ask her if she's here to get turned into one of those things.

The cable is just kinda pinched together against the wall. Spikesby could easily pry it apart either where it connects here or around the metal belt.

The lady keeps talking

>"Oh, thank you so much! So much! Look, guy, whatever you need, OK? I will hook you up! I can fly you to wherever you need to go! Don't worry about anything."

>>71072
Is there some kinda window? If Breaker is out of the castle we can probably get her out easy. If he asks us, but only if he asks, we can say Ashley did it.

Put a scythe to your mouth and go "Shhhhhh..."

Let her free.

Hit the cable once and shrug, maybe she'll get the idea that you have no way of freeing her at the moment.

Unless your beak/claws can snap the cable, in which case, well, do that!

>>71072
Suddenly, I smell a trap. Why is she in the fucknasium and not the captivarium? She's talking a whole lot in a situation requiring stealth, while telling us not to worry, but this is obviously extremely dangerous.

Examine where the cable attaches to the belt for structural weakness, to stall for time so we get a better feel for her motive before deciding.

It'd also be annoying to have her around if she's just going to talk our ears off.

Spikesby motions for her to be quiet, and is cautious, but he decides to break the cable.

She immediately grabs him and sqeezes! She's strong!

>"Oh, little guy! Thanks! Thanks so much! You have no idea how happy I am right now! Look, you've got to get out of here right now, though. What were you even doing here? If any of the Battle Beasts or Moaning Ladies find you.. you won't be too glad. They won't kill you. They'll wait till Breaker gets back before they do that, but you won't enjoy yourself in the mean time. Seriously. Let me at least get you out of this damn castle. You seriously do not want to be here when Breaker is gone."

>>71093
I'm delivering a parcel.
Escape on your own, please.

>>71093
Our Geas won't even let us do that, will it?

Indicate that we can't. Gesture-communicate that she should just fly the heck away and leave the aftermath to us.

Maybe go hang out with Culvos until Flails returns? He seems like an OK dude.

>>71095
Spikesby thinks he could do this. His command was specifically to bring the letter to Flails Breaker.

Ok, let's see if we can get her to fly us over wherever Flails Breaker is and then hork up the thingy on him, then we won't have another one to give, and we will technically be free

>>71098
Nono, I mean escaping like she suggests. Naturally he can break her free. :>

>>71098

We should totally escape now.

We will still need to deliver the letter eventually, and if the bridge guard sees us try to cross again from the side we came from he will get suspicious. We have to either wait just outside the castle, or fly entirely out then fly entirely in again.

Can she fly us behind the castle or somewhere out of sight so we don't get spotted, and will be safe until Breaker gets back? Then we can just walk back in again. She can meet us again when we leave, past the bridge.

>>71103
I'm sayin we should meet up with him and just spit it out on his head, then we fly off and he can't geas us.

Wait, it's worse with him gone? Weird.

Well, if he's not here, you'd might as well go.

Spikesby is fairly torn as to whether or not to go with her, but he decides in the end to go with her.

>"Okay little guy, you do what you need. I'll try and meet up with you later, after you've already dealt with Breaker. I'd always look up at my window, and I'd think so hard about getting the hell out. I was never given a name, but I think I'd like to be called Sky."

She dives out the window. Spikesby's got a lot to think about, but he doesn't care right now. He's never flown before.

>>71109
I guess if Breaker finds out and confronts us we could tell him we had to free her in order to get away from his hostile servants. If we had died, he may have not gotten the delivery.

Still, I am very worried for Spikesby's safety.

Spikesby is FLYING! Ohshit why?!

>"Hey, I don't know what your plan is. I can try to get you close to Breaker, or I can land somewhere nearby here. Just nod once against my chest for the first one, and twice for the second. I can't get too close to Breaker, though."

>>73544
Well, we need to deliver that package, if nothing else, just so we can be rid of this stupid geas. There's no sense in beating around the bush, just nod once.

Nod once. You want this delivery done as soon as possible to avoid discovery of the escape.

Nod twice against her fuzzy bug tits. You can walk well enough, and we don't want to put anyone at risk if it can be helped.

Spikesby nods once, he wants to get this over as quickly as he can!

They fly for a while. A couple of towns flash by and he eventually sees huge, coastal cliffs towering ahead and dense forest beneath him.

The rain has slackened considerably, and the lightning has stopped.

>"Okay, this is where you get off little guy. I'll try and meet up with you later. I've got some stuff I gotta do while your doing your thing with Breaker. Good luck!"

Spikesby can see a light in the distance.

>>73576

Go towards the light Spikesby. Deliver your package to evil!

>>73576
Head towards the light~

Try not to die. :<

Spikesby approaches the light. As he circles the cliff face, he comes on a huge, unfinished sculpture carved out of the rock face. He can see the light just up ahead and hears someone shouting loudly.

"FUCK YES, JUST LIKE THAT, TAKE IT! TAKE IT! I'M GONNA SPLIT YOU IN HALF! YEAH!"

He hears loud, feminine sounds as well, half moan and half scream.

Wait until their finished. Don't be a moodkiller.

>>73593
I-I don't know if you want to interrupt the man, Spikesby. D:

He probably will not appreciate being interrupted, and I don't know if we'll be able to save this one.

I recommend waiting for a bit.

Run up and noisily barf out your delivery. Hopefully you can kill his boner before his boner kills her.

>>73593
Yeah, sounds like they're really into it. Interrupting now would likely be nothing short of suicide.

>>73600

take a peek.

Spikesby hesitates for several moments, not wanting to interrupt before he decides to go ahead and take a peek.

He hears an earth shattering roar before he rounds the corner.

...

he guesses they're done.

>>73644
... right. Unceremoniously chuck up your delivery and tell him it's from what's-her-face.

If he tries to hook you into anything, just say you have something you need to do for your master now.

Now seems a most appropriate time to throw up.

>>73644
>8I
...Yeah lets just upchuck that message and fucking RUN.
Maybe we can get out of here without getting GEAS'd into another chore.

Spikesby dashes up, "delivers the message" and then runs like hell.

He gets some distance away before he hears a terrifying roar.

>"RAAAAADIAAAAAA!"

The ground shakes from the thunderous hooves of Flails Breaker as he bears down on Spikesby! He seems really mad!

>>73671
Ah CRAP.

I imagine he's faster than us, and if he does follow, there's a small chance he'll find Sky anyway.

Let's see what Radia got him, at least.

>>73671

Can we hide anywhere? Run your balls off, that dude's gonna fucking kill you.

>>73671
Run like a bitch.
Flails doesn't seem like the kind of guy not to kill a messenger, and I suspect Radia sent along an awesomeface.
Are there any windows?
We might be able to survive a jump into the ocean... the problem then is swimming.

Dive under a rock or something.

If there's no available hiding spots, yell "I DIDN'T DO IT! I DIDN'T DO IT! OH JESUS DON'T KILL ME! I'M SAVING MYSELF FOR MARRIAGE!"

>>73671
"WAK WAK WAKWAK WAK WAKKAWAK WAK!"

Translation: MOTHERFUCKER HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF THE PHRASE "DON'T KILL THE FUCKING MESSENGER?!"

>>73671
Jump off a cliff and hope Sky is around to catch you.

Spikesby is feeling fairly stressed right now!

This is an overview of the area, Flails Breaker is definitely faster than Spikesby!

The ground is hard and rocky, not soft enough for him to burrow in. There is water off of the cliff.

>"RAAAAAADIAAAA! I AM GOING TO CRUSH YOU! CRUSH YOU TO PIECES!"

Spikesby shouts over his shoulder

>"I DIDN'T DO IT! I DIDN'T DO IT! DON'T KILL ME! I'M SAVING MYSELF FOR MARRIAGE! I'M JUST A MESSENGER!"

Flails Breaker responds with an ear-splitting roar!

>"I WILL DESTROY HER AND HER CREATURES!"

>>73688
Damn, is that a sheer rock wall directly in front of you, then?
I don't suppose you can climb it before Flails catches up with you?

>>73688
Yell "I'M NOT EVEN ONE OF HER CREATURES!"

Run for the cliff.

>>73688

Head for the woods! We can hide there!

>>73691
Sorry, I meant to label that. That is the treeline in front of him.

>>73693
Do this, the trees will slow him down and give you a chance to put some ground between you.

Oh yes do run for the trees instead.

Say "I'm not one! How can I prove it to you?"

Run for the cliff and hope it's not too high.

If he proves slow to turn, you could try running around and around the rock and hope that it's so funny he stops being angry at you.

>>73695
>Treeline

Well. That changes things.

SPIKESBY. Flee into TREES. Your smaller frame makes it easier for you to RUN FOR YOUR LIFE there.

Shit shit shit!

Keep running into the woods. ;___;

Also, tell him you HATE Radia and only did the job cause she'd totally have killed you otherwise. She took your eye.

>>73713
"NO WAY! Bitch took my eye!"

Keep running, of course...

"She forced me to make the delivery, she even gouged out my eye!"

Keep running!

Shit. SHIT.
Uh um uh
If only Sky were anywhere near here.
We could jump off a fucking cliff and have her catch us.
Well... fuck. Run deeper into the trees, there's no way he can plow through an entire forest! ...Right?

Start crying. Hopefully he'll become too aroused to be angry.

If only there were some way to slow him down, or somewhere that Spikesby could hide!

Flails Breaker responds with a grunt.

>>73737
Keep running, he's just going to rape his way through.

Get behind a tree and then start running in a perpendicular direction.

>>73737
There's no way you're gonna get out of his sight long enough to hide. You might try rapidly changing direction, he doesn't look particularly... nimble. That's only a guess, though.

Spikesby runs as erratically as possible, dodging at right angles. Although Flails Breaker is surprisingly agile, his size prevents him from following, and Spikesby loses him momentarily.

Breaker looks around for a second and then unleashes a giant gout of flame. Soon, trees splinter and pop as the flames begin to spread. Didn't it just rain?!

>"IF YOU AREN'T RADIA'S THEN WHOSE ARE YOU? I NEED TO MAKE SURE I DON'T HATE THEM TOO,"
he bellows.

Might as well tell the truth. We have no idea who he hates or doesn't hate, so lying might only antagonize him even more (somehow).

What do you have to lose?

>>73822
His life.

>>73798
Well, you're fucked(probably literally) either way. Hide if possible, but if he figures out where you are, tell the truth.

>>73798
Do we belong to anyone anymore?

Tell him that you once belonged to Zorsuz Blacksoul, but you're your own man now. You have a soul.

>>73848
Do this, but only tell him we don't belong to him anymore if he doesn't like him.

Spikesby can't hear much of anything over the roar of the flames.

Spikesby isn't too worried about burning to death. His skin is tough and he's resistant to heat.

He makes it out of the burning forest without too much trouble, and doesn't think Flails Breaker followed him or anything.

He's got a lot to think about. First, Flails Breaker didn't give him a task, so he's currently got nowhere he has to go, second, as far as he knows Blacksoul is still aware of his presence and all, he still belongs to Blacksoul, but now, things are different. Spikesby feels different.

Ash drifts down around him as the raging inferno lights up the starless night.

There is a gentle flutter of wings.

[Even though this is the end of the chapter, suggest what you want Spikesby to do next, in general.]

>>73908
Greet Sky, make sure she's OK.
We should search for Heartsbane and Glory now. Glory must be really worried about us.

>>73908
We should probably eventually return to Blacksoul and ask for freedom.

>>73918
This... could end poorly.

For now, let's talk to Sky, and see what she'd like to do.

If she's not preoccupied, we need to find out what happened to Glory and Heartsbane.

Fuck returning to Blacksoul, that'll lead to BAD END. Personally, I'd love to see this quest go the GODSLAYER route in which Spikesby, Golden, Heartsbane, and Sky start killing off the wizards, starting with the most evil of them.

...so, try to reunite with Glory (not Golden hurr durr) and Heartsbane.

I say we tour around a bit, see the world. I'm sure Sky wouldn't mind that option either.

>the most evil of them

Good luck determining that :/

There has to be at least one good, cool wizard.

Also, the best way to go the godslayer route is to start getting the wizards so pissed off at each other they go into all out war.

For instant, Get Flails pissed off enough to actually attack Radia personally.

I dont think its so much as good as it is realized "Holy fuck we are going to completely obliterate the entire world if we dont stop this war"

Still i'm all for getting them to kill eachother...

Provoking the wizards into starting up the war again would probably be BAD END. And killing just one of them ourselves, if we could even find a way, would probably end the same way.
We need to somehow get them all to quietly assassinate each other at exactly the same time.
