"Somehow I doubt that I'll accept such offhand answers. Would you mind answering those questions helpfully this time?" Rod asks the witch with what he thinks is a friendly smile.

"By the by, did those kids really chase you out with your own broom?"

Ace 1 falls over. o_O
1 He diverts his brain power to solving the fundamental problem of entropy to infinity, but he makes no headway. For one, he doesn't quite know what entropy is.

Ire 2 creates a candy cannon! It doesn't fire, though. Pff, who would think a candy cannon would actually work?

"All our life," calls out Gretel after her.

Azastre 1 smashes the gems between him palms, but it doesn't work. He takes 2+2=4 damage for his efforts.

+3 to Ammocraft from last turn.

He glances up and notices Popo is looking at him and blushing too.

Kahn 5,5,3 makes a +2 Wood-backed Candy Round Shield.

Arianna says something, 2 but Popo is lost in the sight of Azastre working hard, and Gretel just ignores her.

She asks Popo why she's staring at her, but 2 she's lost in thought.

6->5 "That's ... quite a good idea. Maybe we should just leave for another floor, one where the people are less hostile and _{^{easier to kill.}}"

+3 to Dip.

Jack 2 wanders a bit. He circles the stairs. They are very spirally and round. The steps are roughly one step high, and the decorations are pretty. A candy bird whistles in a tree, and another candy bird answers. Tiny marshmellow peeps tot in a line after a bigger hen peep. The marshmellow clouds billow and change shape, and the sun, which is thankfully still a sun, moves a bit higher.


Rod 2 leers at the witch.

The witch looks at Rod strangely, then repeats that she doesn't know any methods. She proceeds to lodge a complaint that all that sugar will take ages to return to its natural state, and ignores Rod's second question.

[SeriousConcentrate]

It wasn't the most manly, honorable piece of equipment he had ever had, but it would do for such a strange place. Now, Kahn was off to find that witch once more! And slay her, as was proper for a knight to do.

"Okay, I'm really not okay with this. I try to avoid trusting anyone without proof, and thusfar all I've heard is your word against theirs. Information on Backal and his foes, as well as a way for removing any mental compulsions from those he has touched, would go a long way towards making me believe you," Rod asks again, as diplomatically as possible.

Ire stared at the candy cannon with a gaze filled with skepticism, and relish. Perhaps...

Patch it with my heap of inorganic materia, the dented steel dagger as a bayonet, the large red coral button as...something, and diversify it's candy POWAH! This is gonna work!

Azastre grimaces as the destroyed gems cut his hands as he clumsily crushes them. He spents a little time in a dogged silence, licking his hand like a wounded animal and contemplating healing. As he decides to heal himself, Azastre notices Popo is still staring at him and started to blush as well.

After healing, he figures out it is already time to take the initiative.

Azastre tries to heal himself.

Then he stands up, approaches Popo and..keeps blushing and acting a little nervous near her.

Kahn 6->3 fumbles across the candy forest and finally finds the witch! It seems Rod is looking at her and was talking just now. The cauldron which is filled with black licorice vines is still, and she has her hands in the air and in plain view.

Ace 6->1 pulls up lots of black licorice.

2 He looks sad and pitiful while making braids from his licorice.

Five black licorice braids obtained.

Ace surely kept his feet away from the licorice, but he crafts it with his hands. It counts, right? >.>

He 6->4 stares at the robot, which is being offline. He then stares at Azastre, who is blushing while standing around Popo, and Popo, who is doing the same. Ire seems to be making something from a large hunk of hard candy and miscellaneous materials, Arianna is negotiating with Gretel ^{_{who is evil and doesn't like his clothes}} . Zalgo is playing dead and doing a good job of it. Sandra... seems to have disappeared somewhere along the way.

Rod 4 Dip+3

"I'm just a normal witch, I don't have much information about Backal. And, phwaha- what, foes? Do you think Backal the immortal, or pretty dang close, would actually have actual foes? No-one would dare oppose him directly. Not that he's seen round here, in the lower tower. I also don't have any knowledge on removing compulsion, either. Witches usually hex people, not cure them."

Ire synthesizes 5,3,6->5 a +4 candy handcannon decorated with large bits of coral! It has a 16.6% chance of exploding, a 66.6% chance of firing a normal cannonball from hammerspace, and a 16.6% chance of shooting a candy bombshell.

Azastre 2,1,4=7 HP healed. He approaches Popo and is all blushy and nervous-y round her.

Gretel looks at Popo.
"Well... sure. It's probably easier to study magic higher up, anyways... Though, where did the other people in your party go?"

[IronyOwl]

Arianna shrugged.

"They come and go. They'll wander back or make their own way up at some point, though.

Speaking of which, what do you think of each of them? They may be your companions of sorts for some time, after all.

In any case, I suppose I'll go tell the witch that you'll be leaving soon, after I've examined this candy some more.

Ask Gretel. Search for candy that would make good materials.

Azastre was a bit startled by the glint in Popo's eyes, but after she hugged him, it did not take long to calm down. His blush persisted as she wrapped her arms around him, but the hug still soothed him. He had been through a lot already, and a little of caring human contact almost made him melt in happiness right where he stood.

His arms also wrapped, if a bit awkwardly, around her. Honestly, it felt nice, she felt nice - kindness, scent and skin. It was a little bit of a safe haven after so much confusion.

Azastre hugs until Popo lets go.

Ire inspected her weapon, useable along with her spear if done correctly, perhaps there would be something learned from it.

Try to devise a way in order that the handcannon be easily used along with her spear, meaning find something to strap it on and use as a sidearm!

Also, try to improve it more, in overall integrity.
