Does the blue piece fit in the generator? Maybe it's s what is missing.

>>60822
Well. That's as good as it gets I suppose. Push button, receive bridge.

A strange glowing appears from the base of the machine, extending to the other side. It gives a low hum. There is a lot of shuffling around deep in the chasm.

You better move your ass and cross dat bridge, lady.

>>60831
Quickly run across the bridge before the pit monster is ready to attack.

You race across the bridge, hearing the beast below. As you race across, the beast strikes at your body, but it misses. You hear and feel the rush of the wind air it created, and you continue to race out of the mountain.

Now available areas:

Forest, Shop, Gardens, Town, Graveyard, Marina.

Marina seems like a bad idea what with blue ore fear, so let's head to the shop, there might be some type of respite there.

>>60854
Shop, to prepare for the party.

>>60854
We were invited to the flower rave party, so let's check out the garden!

I say shop, we'll need items.

>>60854
Shop, then Garden.

You arrive at HONEST IKIT'S QUALITY SHOP.

Exits are: Elsewhere, Around Back, Inside the shop.

Help that poor turtle getting back on its feet.

>>61408
Check out that white object over there. Looks like a hat?

Yeah, go on in.
This guy seems legit.

You flip the turtle off of its back and it looks over to you and begins to slowly walk off. You can feel your aura refresh slightly with what you feel might be good karma.

Go inside the store.

He so doesnt have any starving children.

You step into the shop. You can't see anyone in there. You feel a little creeped out. The counter is really low. Which is pretty different from Skraig's shop since that Monster was rather large.

The poster encourages you to buy goods.

"Hello?" You ask softly.

"JUST A MINUTE." You hear a reply, as there is a crashing sound behind the counter, and a lot of grumbling and shuffling around.

Politely wait for the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper leaps up onto the counter in a flashy suit, and a bright pink bow tie, and.. a toupee with a comb over!

The Rat gives an HONEST GRIN and begins to speak,

"WELCOME TO HONEST IKIT'S, THE ONLY HIGH QUALITY SHOP ON WORMWOOD ISLAND. YOU'VE MADE THE CORRECT CHOICE COMING HERE, I HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER YOU FOR LOW PRICES (or piles of gold)!"

You are a bit annoyed, and surprised. "You sure are loud." You state.

"AND WHO COULDN'T BE LOUD WITH PRICES THIS LOW?! I SURE HOPE YOU CAME TO BUY, THERE ARE LINES OF PEOPLE WAITING TO LET THESE DEALS OFF MY HANDS. LINES! NOW HOW CAN I HELP YO--IS THAT A LIMITED EDITION CRANK-ME-UP NEVER-DIE FLASHLIGHT? I WILL TRADE YOU FOR THESE INCREDIBLY USEFUL AUSPEX GOGGLES."

>>62038
"And what's the normal price of Auspex Goggles?"

Doesn't seem like such a good deal. Ask about the googles, they don't sound more useful than a flashlight.

"What good are goggles? I don't need them." You state, figuring you may need to go into the dark.

"HA, YOU SAY THAT NOW. ONCE YOU HAVE HAD THEM YOU WILL WONDER WHAT YOU EVER DID WITHOUT THEM! ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE WITH AS LITTLE TRAINING AS YOU. A ZAKIYA WITH ONE LOW LEVEL ABILITY? SECOND LEVEL WARP?! MOST ADULT SHERBERT CLANSMEN HAVE MASTERED THAT BY NOW. THESE GOGGLES ARE SO INVALUABLE! DARKNESS WON'T CATCH YOU OFF GUARD ANYMORE, PLUS YOU'LL LOOK PRETTY AWESOME. FUCK, MAYBE I SHOULD JUST KEEP THEM, YOU SMARTASS."

>>62042
Well if they let you see in the dark, it sounds like a good trade. Why is he willing to trade them though?

>>62043

He said the flashlight

>>62042

Ask him to let you try them first.

You agree to trade if he allows you to try them. You put them on and it scans your eyes for a moment. The entire scene goes into a red shift as a series of little characters display as it calibrates. Once it is done the scene clears up. You can see fine, in fact, far more clear. The goggles adjusting to a comfortable medium in response to what's in sight, and linked to Asali.

"I can see forever." You state, serious faced. IKIT stands there waiting. You can tell that these goggles do more than you can tell right now. "So, why are you giving this away for a flashlight?"

"I KNOW THE CREATOR OF THEM, WE GO WAY BACK. A DYNASTY BUILT FROM A FARM, THEY WERE THE GOOD DAYS."

You're not sure you want to know the details.

I'm sure we're going to regret this later... but ok, trade the googles for the flashlight.

Also ask if he has any other useful item at LOW PRICE to sell/barter.

Ask Ikit about a warranty.

At least TRY to ask if this HONEST businessman has anything else in stock/ would want to trade anything else with you.
If not, it may not hurt to ask about the area, he seems to be a local.

You ask about goods, he provides his limited selection of HIGH QUALITY GOODS.

You ask about a warranty, "WHY WOULD SOMEONE SO HONEST NEED TO SELL A WARRANTY AS WELL, WHY SPEND MORE MONEY?" You are not comforted.

You ask about trading, "BRING ME A RAINBOW LEAF, BUBBLE DUST, OR THE TUSK OF A NAVIABULL AND WE'LL TALK.

You ask about Wormwood Island, "BUY SOMETHING FIRST."

Lookin' awesome there. Ask if the goggles can see in the dark as well.

Considering that you can only buy this "Rainbow Buster", you may as well ask what it's useful for.

What's a Rainbow Buster?
I assume Fireslider is some sort of fancy drink.
The rare yellow jewel is either a major plot item or a round piece of glass.

"What is a Rainbow Buster?" You ask the rat.

"WHY IT IS A (ILLEGAL) BEAUTIFUL FIREWORK! IT EXPLODES HUGE WITH A DISPLAY OF RAINBOWS AND STARS. WHO KNOWS WHEN YOU'LL NEED THAT. I COULD THINK OF A MILLION USES." He says this while mimicking an explosion by leaping in the air and extending his limbs, never once breaking his HONEST GRIN.

It sounds so incredibly useless, we may as well buy it.

...let him show you all the stuff, grab it and teleport out of the store :awesome:.

Leave and seek HONEST PAYMENT.

Fantasize for a moment about being filthy rich.
Agree to trade the flashlight for the neat goggles.
Then leave to acquire more funds.
Examine the floor hatch before leaving.

Let's not buy that potentially useless waste of money unless we find a use for it.

You purchase the Rainbow Buster. You explain that's all you have for the moment and you'll come back when you can get the rest. You ask about Wormwood Island again.

"THIS PLACE WAS AN ISLAND OF PROFIT AND RESOURCES. THEN A BLACK PLAGUE KILLED EVERYONE, ABOUT. COULDN'T KILL IKIT. I THINK IT DIED, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST IT NEVER BOTHERED ME AGAIN."

You nod and want to exit, but you approach the hatch, but are stopped by IKIT who is getting down off the counter to work somewhere below the counter.

"VALUED CUSTOMERS ONLY, COME BACK WHEN YOU CAN AFFORD TO BE VALUABLE."

Where to next?

Check out the town. IF there are people left that didn't get killed by that plague IKIT talked about, then we might find them there.
And even if not, we might find some useful stuff.

Town. If everyone's dead there'll be all kinds of shit to loot.
It's honest business, that i- wait. Shit.

>>62065
Hmm. The way Ikit spoke about that plague makes me think this isn't a disease, but some kind of monster.

Well keep that firework handy, it could double as a weapon in a pinch.

To town it is.

Town first, it seems like an okay idea.
