Flee harder!

WHAT DID YOU DO?!

You didn't try to say you were sorry for punching out that guy did you?

Caltrops, ho!

>>251506
Let me guess.

Guards in the church when you went to go get Sun? Or were they outside when you came back out?

Either way, just keep running until you get to the secret entrance. Go the long route around to try and lose them.

please tell me you got the crossbow from miss Q

please

>WHAT DID YOU DO?!
NOT MY FAULT, OKAY?!

>sorry, punching, other guy
>guards in the church
Heck no! I crossed with the Father when I sneaked into the church to call Sun, and we ended up talking and a guard spotted me! I think I just made a two-hour walk in thirty minutes!

>crossbow
'DOH!

>>251560
What did you talk about? (hate to seem unconcerned about you being chased down and possible beaten but hey... we won't really feel it.)

Keep legging it then.

>>251560
Impressive work there. Good to see what some proper motivation can do for assumed times and speeds.

They're a bit behind you. But you should probably not let up. Keep going for the entrance, with some luck you will have outrun them by the time you get there.

Where are you running? You've been running for half an hour and haven't got away yet? Hide behind a tree! Snipe them from the bushes! Oh right no crossbow. Well, uh, the point is running isn't going to help unless you can get out of sight. Where could you go that they cannot see?

>>251576
the secret entrance, duh.

dont go to the secret entrance! they will spot it and guard it! you wont have a way out unless you find yet another exit!

Well, it started a bit awkward with me sending Sun to check on Lia, but we got to talking about K's stew and then food and other assorted smalltalk.

Cats bless adrenaline.

Huh what secret -- oh hey yeah! It should be somewhere here!

under the big rock by the tree.

>>251637
Make sure they can't see you diving into it. If they can then keep leading them on a merry chase until they give up.

no you wont! you need to make a lap to get the crossbow!

its the only way to make things even! what stuff do you even have with yourself?

You have your climbing gear, yes? Get it out and get cracking. Not much to do about the guards right now other than avoid them... unless you fancy spending some time trying to explain your actions.

...No? Didn't think so.

Though, hey, you could probably leave behind the halberd for them to find, if you're so inclined.

Soldier: "No idea, ma'am. Maybe he just stopped running."
Guard: "Well, he ain't going downhill..."

>>251869

Well I might be going out on a limb here by suggesting this, but how about... down?

there is a little ledge on the left

Hold your position until they've gone away; you don't want them to hear you going bonk ouch thud and start searching for the passage.

Of course, if it sounds like they've found the passage, you'll have to throw caution to the wind.

So anything else we missed? We kind of tuned out right as you were giving K her private time.

dont lit anything. dont pick anything. dont move.

At any rate, let's get some light up in here.

>>251988
If you're hanging opposite the hinge, where the trap door opens, it's behind you. For reference, the opening of the trap door is on our right.

Just dig in, wait a bit for 'em to fan out and/or go away, then light a torch and climb down.

yep. just be careful you don't smack your face.

Can't very well go up now. Hmm, would be nice to have a third arm for holding the torch right now. Oh well, lets move, adventure waits for nobody.

im thinking that the little eggs had hatched. be careful with anything carnivorous down there.

also, that was yours, and a clear indicative noone has a clue of this exit

Perish the thought. Can't really remember what those whiteys feed of, though, but they seems a bit toothless to be carnivorous. But then, you never know...

>soft dirt
Hmmmn.... yeah, the ground here's dirt. I... cant really remember why that was important, though.

Maybe I should get moving.

Sorry for just making this a mini. Having issues with the source file.

Try not to get covered in purple stuff again on the way down.

huh, you have a point. there should be a humongous worm carcass rotting down there.

also player, never doubt the annoyance of random critters. they could eat iron as far as i know.

>>252216
It being soft dirt means it's fucking hard to climb. You do have that climbing set now though!

>>252216
Could be that it makes any holds less reliable and anything you drive into it to give a better hold might pop out.

But you got up in the past, should be able to make your way down. So, lets get moving.

>>252216
Hey, Player, doesn't stuff have a nasty habit of disappearing in here? Light that secondary torch that you left here last time, and drop it down to check if the corpse is still there, or has been replaced by something even more nasty.

that torch should be depleted, unless someone messed with it

Ok, coming close to the giant worm place. Ready your sword and proceed with caution. Don't know what kind of scavengers might live here, some of them might be hostile and dangerous.

I'm not very keen on spending the entire day covered in purple gunk smelling like a big insect, so, let's see what are the options...

Hmn. This thing's a quite sturdy grate, locked with a sturdy padlock on the other side.

That leaves me three basic options: pick the lock with lockpicks I don't have, break the grate with the superstrength I lack, or dig trough clay and stone around the thing with a spade. Real jackpot material here.

Hmn, I can always wait until age and humidity rusts it away too, I guess that makes four.

>>253335
I believe dealing with stinky purple bug gunk is technically option five. It also has the added bonus of being possible to do.

Deal with it.

hmmm, try launching the DU core out of your pockets. get any good amount of speed on it it should whack pretty hard.
try smacking the lock with the halberd, or the shovel.
another thing you could try would by to attach the rope to one of the beams and then throwing it down the hole and let gravity hank the bar off.

>>253335
Well what are you waiting for? Get out that shovel and start digging. Won't get done any faster by standing around moaning about it.

Use HALBERD on PADLOCK

(not open it, break it... sheesh)

There's another option. Go back up and open the other entrance. The one that was open the first time you came up here. You'll need to wait for the soldiers to go away tho.

>>253335
Is that corpse flammable?

>padlock
>HALBERD on PADLOCK

See, when I say it's on the other side of the grate, I mean it.

>launch DU
... I can toss it at the thing, but I'd still need some heroic-level strength to throw the thing wih enough force to break the grate or padlock.

>>253373
Better set to digging then. From the looks of it the left side is your best bet.

hmmm, tie the rope to the padlock, thread it through the loop, tie the other end to the DU core, then drop it down the shaft. the weight should wrench the padlock apart.

>>253382
It's not that heavy and the padlock is probably pretty damn sturdy. I think it would be liklier that the rope would break than the padlock.

how is the smell by the way? even from the chaminee if it helps.

you could try to dissasemble the door's hinges. if you can dig the wall to another part of the chaminee it would also work

remember to burn the worm if you suceed. the smoke should come out of the chaminee instead of the secret entrance and they should take it as a warning from the demons with any luck.

oh by the way, have you tried touching the padlock and move it around? maybe you can make a jump charge at it with the halberd.

>playing with physics
... in theory its a nice plan, but the core by itself isn't heavy enough to budge a padlock with its own weight. If I had a couple of them, though...

>flammable
The 'whitepillar' isnt very flammable; its skin dehydrates and shrivels with fire, but the.... part I walked trough is a bit meaty, and quickly gets burnt and charred.

Its just me, or it seems a bit... deflated?

.... it's babies are eating it.

>>253373
It looks like the padlock is too well-protected for our usual shenanigans. Well, the ground IS nice and soft here, and you have a spade already...

>>253462
>Deflated

It's been dead for almost a whole day. Likely a good portion of the mass has been eaten by tiny things, by now.

Haha, the maggot is being eaten by maggots.

Yeah, it's probably a bit rotten, maybe getting eaten by its babies, water evaporating, etc etc.

Try giving it a good kick, see if it slides does the hole.

>>253462
Percussive maintenance!

so here is a stupid plan.

hack and slice the worm instead of digging around. if it comes to the worse of it you can trhow pieces of it trhu the door.

>>253462

I wonder how the worm tastes.

Hey, maybe it gives you an intrinsic on consumption!

Oh, on the other side, completely missed that.

>babies eating it.
That must suck.


Try kicking it.

>>253462
It has probably decayed a bit, or scavengers have been at it. Hmm, guess you could try charring your way through the middle to not get all purple and shit again. But that sounds quite time consuming and like something that would take alot of torches. I would say start the digging for now, if it's something that's eating its way through the maggot then you should find out on the way back. Getting past the grate shouldn't take more than a couple of hours with soft soil.

>>253462
Dig around the top of the worm, it looks ready to fall.

Looks like there might be just enough room to slip past it from what we can see from here.

do you have how to start a fire? we may need to burn the corpse anyway.

.. this thing's really just like a big, meaty caterpillar, no muscles, just... meat and fluid.
