@Disillusionist

You wish to know if the deities know of this place? Well.

The spectre tilts its head in a quizzical fashion. Somehow, you suspect it does not have the answer you seek.

That is beyond our ken, it tells you. Truly, we do not know if He even knew of its existence, before we called out to Him in our moment of greatest need.

There is a WINDY SPECTRE hovering before you, its shape a misty collection of water vapor limned with glowing green magic. At its feet there is a wide BASIN filled with a soupy fog. Every few seconds, wisps of energy breeze away from this spectre. You must claim His gift, it tells you. You must protect the world.



You have asked all your questions. You must investigate the CRYSTAL, though you may continue to view MEMORIES before you make your FINAL CHOICE.

After receiving the answers from the specter, the trio backed away from the emerald obelisk and turned to the ruby one. Stepping towards it, another ghast appeared.

@Disillusionist

AH, YOU WISH TO KNOW WHAT NAME WE WENT BY?

The ghast tilts its head back, staring upwards, as though lost in thought. WE WERE HER CHILDREN, it tells you THAT IS ALL WE EVER THOUGHT, ALL WE EVER CONSIDERED. There's a moment where it simply stares at you, its eyes wide and penetrating; it feels almost like it is searching for the right word in the language it has been given. WE WERE SCIENTISTS.

It pauses, before adding, THEY CALLED US OTHER. WE CALLED THEM RUDE.

There is a FUNGAL GHAST hovering before you, its shape an oozing suggestion of a dragon with rubycap mushrooms covering its back. At its feet there is a wide BASIN of water. THERE IS NOT MUCH TIME, it tells you, the words reaching your mind without bothering with your ears. PLEASE, SAVE US.

You wish to know if the remains you found were originally victims? Well.

The spectre nods. Yes. It claimed them, as it will claim the world if given the chance. Its eyes glow brilliantly, and it bows its head, bringing its snout close to your own.

YOU CAN'T LET IT OUT.

If this is a MEMORY, you find you have the urge to touch one of the MUSHROOMS. As you do, the colonies around you stop flickering, the one under your claw pulsing with a soft, steady shade. This color spreads across the still liquid in the basin, shaping a scene much like the one you're in, and your stomach lurches as the sensation shifts from watching what may (or may not) have happened and remembering...

@Tammoratya

AH, YOU WISH TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO HELP US LEAVE?

The dripping dragon lowers its head (its neck is, for a moment, unnaturally long; somehow you suspect this isn't how it looked when it was alive) so that its snout is close to the small hatchling, its eyes glowing. YES, it tells you - specifically, the hatchling; though the others can hear it, its clear the words are for her, and the tone of the words is somehow both indulgent and gentle. IF YOU USE HER GIFT, WE WILL BE FREE TO LEAVE. It tilts its head to the side, studying the small dragon before it. WILL YOU FREE US, LITTLE ONE?

As it returns to its original position (its neck a little less long), you momentarily see a smile on its snout - the same sort of indulgent smile you've seen on the face of many an adult who is delighted by the presence of the young.

There is a FUNGAL GHAST hovering before you, its shape an oozing suggestion of a dragon with rubycap mushrooms covering its back. At its feet there is a wide BASIN of water. THERE IS NOT MUCH TIME, it tells you, the words reaching your mind without bothering with your ears. PLEASE, SAVE US.

@Loreka

You wish to know if it is fate or chance that brought you here? Well.

The spectre tilts its head in a quizzical fashion. The cavern was asleep before you arrived. Your existence has awoken us all, and placed the world in grave peril. Though it states it in a casual fashion, it's hard not to feel a quiet sense of accusation riding on those words.

9MzR20p.png

You wish to know what you are protecting the world from? Well.

The spectre's eyes blaze brilliantly, and it spreads its claws and wings, magic glittering between its fingers. It shows you a dragon; and at the dragon's feet there are creeping, crawling vines. When they reach the dragon's feet, they wrap rapidly around it, snaking up into its ears, through its mouth, into its nose -

The dragon struggles, for just a moment; then it goes rigid, its eyes opening to reveal that they are blank. The image lingers for just a moment, before abruptly vanishing.

Its voice, though soundless, is still chilling. From a fate worse than death.


There is a WINDY SPECTRE hovering before you, its shape a misty collection of water vapor limned with glowing green magic. At its feet there is a wide BASIN filled with a soupy fog. Every few seconds, wisps of energy breeze away from this spectre. You must claim His gift, it tells you. You must protect the world.




While you have used up your SPECTRE questions, you may still query the GHAST.
