Re: Nechronica "So.
From what I was told - the Priestess and her followers follow the Master, and abide by the Cause and the Commandments. The Master's Cause is the purging of corruption and the creation of perfect demigods to rule over the world. The Commandments are simply to aid in the Cause, and to obey orders from the Master.
The Priestess is letting me attempt to talk the plant into a, peaceful alliance. Apparently it's been attacking them nonstop even when the Priestess tried negotiation. Should the alliance go through, the plant can help warm the village, crops can be grown, we can repair the village up a bit, get the supply line from the factory going a bit more vigorously to satisfy the plant's appetite, and then get moving to the Triplets' Rig afterwards.
The tall man out there, the inquisitor, is a live human. Not undead. Pierre Soissons is his name. I'd rather not uh, kill him, if we can manage. Let's try to play the nice route this time.
The zombies out there are waiting for me to make the deal with the plant. Hopefully it works out.
I'm gonna go do that now, so uh, just sit tight a little more, or follow."
> To the plant!

Re: Nechronica "I will hold back if he insists on attacking me.
Probably from how I look.
I can't blame him."

Re: Nechronica >Freeze.
"Living... human... his? What the ♥♥♥♥? How could this be?
That opens up so many questions for which there is no time to answer. I will come with you to witness the negotiation, although obviously you alone are qualified to speak to your garden."

Re: Nechronica EVENTS:
The party heads over to the garden, leaving Klimt's harem to guard the house.
Even more plantmen are out and about, and the great tree seems to be busy producing a third, larger troll.
Garden: "You return.
We were worried.
The enemies outside, do not leave. Will we fight?"

Re: Nechronica "No fight - I negotiated with them, we can reach a peaceful resolution that's beneficial to us all, but it requires your cooperation.
The Priestess would like for you to, 'repent' your 'sins', and to stop killing them. If you can agree to do that, the Priestess will allow a second garden to be planted in the village to provide warmth. The supply lines connecting here to the factory to the south can be increased to provide you with the meat you need to stay healthy, and to feed the second garden too.
With warmth provided, more plants can be grown, crops for more food, everyone can coordinate to expand construction and strengthen defenses, all good stuff.
It will require, visibly agreeing, with the Priestess.
That's the deal on the table."

Re: Nechronica EVENTS:
There is a long pause, and all the plantpeople seem to be deep in thought.
Garden: "If, you believe them, so will we. Tell this, Priestess, we care not from where the food comes, as long as it does. If she will provide, then we have no reason, to refuse.
We, will send an envoy, as well."
The tallest of the plant warrior walks forward, and slowly removes another pulsing seedling from the tree. Things seem to be working, so far!

Re: Nechronica > Nod.
"A deal, then. I'll go talk with them."
> Walk back to the old meeting spot, the midpoint between the mansion and the defensive line. Flash a thumbs up.

Re: Nechronica EVENTS:
Eigla walks to the midpoint, as before, followed closely by the plant warrior. Pierre notices her thumbs up, and moves closer as well.
As the inquisitor approaches, the plantman kneels, offering the seedling. Pierre takes it, then the two of them shake hands.
Everyone lets out a collective sigh of relief.
Pierre: "...I must say I'm impressed. I never thought we'd be able to reach a point in which we'd parley with plants.
You have quite a gift, Eigla."

Re: Nechronica "Bit of a green thumb, methinks. Let's deliver the news to the Priestess, then we can start with fixing up all the houses in the village. I've seen cardboard boxes with better weatherproofing."

Re: Nechronica EVENTS:
Pierre: "True. I have some experience with palisades and fortifications, but actual building is not my forte."
Half an hour later, you're all back at the village. The treeman has gone to plant the seedling amid the snow-covered town square, while Curie methodically recites building techniques to adze-equipped dolls and zombies.
The rest of the party walks into the church once again, being welcomed by the Priestess with a smile.
Priestess: "So, you return. Successfully, I might add.
Just as I predicted. The Master provides, though in mysterious ways. Eileen, Eigla, whichever name you prefer - Come! Take my arms. Let us rejoice, for you too are now a glorious servant of the Master. Join me, sister, and know true bliss."
Pierre whistles under his breath.
Pierre: "My, my. You've managed to impress her. That's rare."
