Notes:



Time: Night



Name: John Freemaneth (TorrentHKU)
Race: Human
____________________

Kamilla really knew how to make them. Ok, back to testing the telepathy blocking.

"Well the Lucida armor is too good at its own job, so the blocker's out for now. Gonna pull down a few bits of armor while I think a word, tell me if you can pick it up."

Andrew: ”Alright.”

Thinking the word “chimney” in your head, you remove the Power Flow bracelet and start removing armor pieces, first a finger, than the hand, then the enter gauntlet. No word from Andrew yet, so you take off the other arm, slowly remove the leg, and then the torso plates.

Still nothing.

Neck piece (which you didn’t really notice until now, that’s a snug and comfortable fit), and finally the helm.

Andrew remains silent.

Looking down at yourself, the armor pieces are all off, floating around you suspended by nearly invisible strands. There’s the belt holding the sheathed Lucida, so you grab the sword and have the belt float off. And then remove Lucida’s sheath.

Andrew: ”Still nothing.”

The only thing you’re in contact with is Lucida itself, the armor now standing in a complete set beside you.

Lucida: Still working.

"That explains a great deal. Do you think there is some root ability to alter space - like basic light or dark magic - from which all these things develop? What could it have to do with the hierarchy of Thirds, Fourths and Fifths?

Hah. Can you imagine what a First or a Second would be? A stone, a lichen or a bird?

...recalling the dream, I know the scholar and the eyeless man are not the same, in this or any other time.

I really do hope we nullifiers don't age faster than normal. This grey is making me a little self-conscious."


Tabi: ”Maybe being a nullifier is stressful. Stress-induced greyness or something. Not a bad look though, you have that wise-but-not-yet-old look. Like detectives.

I would assume there’s a root ability to negation - maybe a root is nullifying magic, since that’s what all nullifiers can do, but there’s something even more basic behind it. I dunno, this is a bit out of my field.”

You try to Locate things on the other side of the wall blocking off the tunnel, and beyond the main wall as well.

The tunnel itself seems clear, but there are definitely, things, amongst the ruins. Hard to pinpoint exactly what they are.

> Form armor back up, sans helmet. Eat some roast bird. To Fluustern!
Stick the super heavy sword in the side of the road somewhere, mostly to ♥♥♥♥ with travelers.
While I'm at it, dissolve the black lens, flexible AM square, the Light Grenade and Taschenblitz 1. Inventory spring cleaning!

"I appreciate the sentiment. I would like to think I am not going to confront my mortality so soon.

Perhaps we'll think of something else with a bit more sleep? As you pointed out - it's difficult to relax with prophetic nightmares that bend space. Plus, I can't be keeping you up with strange swords and plots all night, can I?

...of course, if I get a package for you, I'll tell you first thing!"

A mini, imaginary Vandolf appears on Kleigg's shoulder and says, "Hey buddy, I hear you were wondering about how nullifiers work and if they bend space itself and whatnot. Wouldn't it be a shame if you were in the same city as an ancient almost all-knowing leviathan that Tabi could help you talk to?"

Forming the armor around yourself but leaving the helm stuck to your back, you start eating the bird leg, enjoying the warm, juicy meat.

On the way to Fluustern, you deconstruct some unneeded items, and plant the heavy AM greatsword on the side of the road. It’s dawn by the time you reach Gabel, a city at the intersection of two roads. There are lupus walking amongst the streets, and a few caravans look like they’re about to set off on a trip.

Andrew: ”We stopping here for a bit or continuing on?”

You give her a wink while she tries to maintain a poker face, and the two of you roll back into bed. Letting your warm blankets embrace your body, you drift off into darkness…



A tall, slim monster towering over you, wearing a long black robe with shining black metal armor overtop. Its helm has a teardrop shape with the point going back, along with a set of forward-swept metal horns that sprout from the sides. Its hands end with claws that are black scythe-like blades. A dozen red eyes glowing under the shadow of the helm glare at you.

The armored witch, Stahlnacht.

A voice like a hiss, whispering out from the monster.

“Fourth.”

Raze: "I would love to."

It only takes him a few heavy swings to smash and collapse the brick barrier, and a bit of dirtying the hands to clear the debris. The fresh dawn light reveals the tunnel entrance to be clear, with the exception of a glowing lamp of some sort sitting a few meters inside.

"Hm... I suppose I understand. Is the practice of this transformation not widely known, or something?"

Jala: ”It is not widely known, no. Even if there was not a transformation, most people would panic at the sight of a Nheiu - they are a frightening appearance.”

The two of you soon reach the watchtower, where you see Ettiin in front of the door. She waves to you while shouting.

Ettiin: ”Did you see the casket!?”

It doesn't say anything. Instead, it moves closer to you while a red vertical crack appears in its body, blood rushing out as it splits open, moving towards you, encasing you in a cage of bone and flesh and metal.

"Kleigg!"


You jolt awake. The morning light is streaming through the window. Your clothes feel warm and comfortable.

Tabi is standing at the foot of your bed, slips of paper in one hand, her interface brick in the other, a panicked expression on her face.

Looking down at yourself, you're covered in shining black armor. Flexing your fingers, you seem to be able to feel through the armor, as if it was a part of you. The sword sent to you from your dreams is in your right hand.

"Um. My god. Tabi. Are you getting readings from this armor? I saw the witch Stahlnacht - it split down the middle and engulfed me in its own tissues. I was in its guts. Are these a reflection of its innards?

This can't be normal. I'm so sorry. I have to get this off and put the sword away."

>Attempt to loose my strange weapon and armor - stow them, pick up my inventory again and dress in my traveling clothes + less conspicuous steel armor.

"That was distressing.

I didn't want our night to go that way, Tabi. But now that it's over... to business. We need to hear what the council has to say regarding the casket we want."

>Depart to meet with the authorities and get clearance to move the casket.
