I would love if you did Criperum, I've been following since beginning.

> eat all contents of that box
> let's mix contents of this box in one super cocktail and drip it into your eyes


While the owner is away you jump from your "horse" and approach the table with the casket playfully. There are about ten colored bottles. Not hesitating a single moment you start to drink every bottle you can. Soon you njfvfhbr jfnfg fgdofjngjf....

You wake up GRADUALLY in some Armok forsaken place. Looks like you've been here before. You look around and find nothing. But soon you start to hear some voices in the sticky silence. Muted, vague and recognizable they are getting closer.
- Ivety, honey, how often Likot has such "obscurations"?
- Pretty often. Before I was thinking he was just mocking me but then he hugs me, says some pleasant words... I've got used not to take offense.
- And is he hearing voices?
- Yeah, he was saying something about it. He was turning crazy and...
- Freaking?
- That's a very soft word.
Kisat sighed and clinked her tongue:
- I'm familiar with that kind of desease. You should look after him. Especialy in such moments.
- I do my best.
- I know, Squirrel. It must be difficult for you.
The voices started to fade. Your conconsciousness cannot connect words anymore.
- Father said he was here speaking nonsense and jumping on a chair.
- I hope we can bring him into the senses.
You hear the sound of opening door.
- He gave him some sedatives... oh...
The voices started mumbling something completely incomprehensible, merged into roar and faded to the grey noice somewhere far away. Second later your forgot about them. Whom? What "whom"? Tomb? What tomd? What?

> remember your life, remember who you were and who you are now
> make three identical Likots form the silence and send them scouting
> visit Armok!

Using your willpower you create your own copies and send them explore the wastelands. You feel like you've spent here about a month. You've thought lots of things during this time, tormenting yourself with alternative event chains leading so far in the future that the thought losts it's begining so you just take another. Considering all this nonsense you remembered all your short life from the moment you were born in the brain of Likot Soapmaker till that moment. It's funny that you had very few memories about things before that moment. Those are definitely belong to the original Likot. Memories about corridors, storages, soap... No memories about origin, family or friends, but that blackbearded dwarf should have all of it. Poor guy. Oh well - that's the will of Armok.
The moment you though about the God the abstract sky light up with his beaming face and you stand before The Creator. Armok is smiling to you:
- What's up, kid? - he asked sympathetically - Got stuck?

> requesting to ask about meaning of existence
> doubling asking about existence
> imagine the Angryspoon that will immediately appear in our hands and throw it into bold guy's image
> yes. throw the spoon into the god
> ask about meaning of life universe and everything


- Armok! - you shout - What is the meaning of life?
- Serving me of course! - the deity smiled - Besides that - one desides for him self. It could be a creation of artefact. Or even MEGAproject. One can make legends from his adventures. One can hunt down vampires and other night creatures. Find himself schmaltzy brother and ride around the villages on a black wagon. Call themselves "Crossbow brothers". Fun!
With your will power you materialize your glorious Angryspoon in your hand ( as it looked while being a weapon not a musical instrument ) and throw it into the giant head. The "spear" of course doesn't fly far enough and successfully hit one of your impersonations.
- More blood for the god of blood! - you decided to make some excuse, but the Overlord's face wrinkled
- Please no more. I'm filled with sacrifice blood and it keeps coming. It was fun at the start but you people don't know when to stop! At least you don't do it, OK?
- Then please tell me the answer for the untimate question of life universe and everything
- The answer is ME.

> Ask Armok why he is here instead of fixing world economy
> Know who is Likot. The blond one, i.e. us.
> remember of which minerals Armok's eyes, teeth, shaved cheeks, shiny nose are composed.

You bowed and continued:
- Don't take it as an audacity but what are you doing here? With me? Instead of ruling the world, economy and other stuff?
- I admire you, Likoty. I'm watching you with my eye. But now, to be honest, you came to me without invitation. I didn't call you. You should not be here.
- So how did I get here?
- Be careful in your world. Some just want to see the world on fire. Don't listen those voices.
- You know about voices?
- Choose who you are listening.
- Alright. I got it. But why I hear them? Who am I after all?
- You are the product of sorcery. A pinch of other dimension placed in a head of a random dwarf. Kurel Ostukiton created you to revenge Shorast Kurelgeshak in the world of living by your hands. Did you forget it?
- It was long time ago.
- Everything is saved in the legends. Recall it if you can't remember - Armok looked at you kingdly and winked - Now here is the deal: go left -  you'll recover, trail right - you'll go back to yourself, turn back - you'll drive away the dope, step forward - you'll wake up. Choose wisely, my friend... - and he laughed.
You are trying to understand which minerals is Armok's image composed of but this mistery wasn't revealed to you.

> Why does Armok have human-elf snout? Where is the beard?
> stay where you are and watch
> make copies of your friends from real world
> split your impersonations into four groups and send them in all four directions
> split yourself into 4 small Likots and go to all directions

- Armok! - you shouted to the dissolving in the mist God - Where is your beard?
- I don't have a beard silly. Neither face. Body, arms, legs - nothing of it. I'm intangible. I don't have appearance. I don't have power over what you see. I create worlds but I don't live in them.
After saying that the huge head disappeared covered in the mist.
And what should we do now? A single step in any direction means waking up. You deside to have some more fun and start to imagine your close people in a better way than they are in reality. Ivety more curvy, Tok cooler, Sinsot more friendly. You don't need to image Kisat because she is good as she is.
You looked at them for a while but now it's time to split. East or west, home is best, after all the Armok himself told you to go home so it's time. Splitting went without problems and you leave halls of the Creator immediately.

>get up. First thing to do is to punch Ivety and Kisat in the face


You wake up in a bed in some unknown room and immediately start to wave your fists trying to punch someone but alas. Kisat is near. She notices you woke up:
- Oh, at last. I thought I'd have to pour that mixture inside you. We are in the wagon by the way. The royal wagon - she twitches her eyebrow - we are going to snow elves.

> put on your crown, eat, ask what happened
> ask what happened after your blackout
> go find out where are we, what are we, why are we, when are we. and of course who are we
> tell Kisat THE TRUTH granted by Armok
> find pen and paper to write a holy scripture
> share THE ARMOK REVELATION! and of course write Holy Armok Writ
> fuck Kisat while nobody is near
> fuck Kisat heatedly


You grab the crow lying next to you and put it on so fast like you cannot breathe without it.
- What have happened? I was in the lab... and then... - you start to realize that it was only a dream, visions and actually not as much time passed as you thought - What have happened to me?
- It's obvious - Kisat drips some wine and goes to pour some more - You acted like a fool again, drank a lot of potions and fainted. You are lucky there was no poison. Muya said that there was no big danger and you'd come back by yourself. Just in case he gave me a strong potion to force your waking up if you drool on the pillow for too long.
- I saw the Armok! He spoke to me.
- Who? Ah, your god. I hope it worth it. It's always nice to risk your life for a good hallucination - you hear dispraise in queen's voice.
- It was real! I had HIS revelation! I must write it down now, give me a pen and paper!
Kisat rolls her eyes and points at curbstone near the bed where you find writing tools. You sit on the side and start writing:
- Everything is Armok.
That's all your imagination can do. Not much for a holy writ. What else can you write?
You scratch your head. Well, at least you have the beginning, you can add the rest later.
- Everything is Armok, Kisat - you haste to share.
- It is indeed - she raises the goblet and drinks - Can we go to the reallity? This evening we will pass the crossroads with a human settlement. We'll stay there for the night. We'll ask about surroundings, about neighbors moods, is it safe on the roads.
You make a horny face:
- It's much time until evening - you caress the blanket with your palm - Let's fun some fun.
- Oh, Likot, you are the best in feeling opponent's mood - she moved a small window's sash and stare on the road.
- No means no - you shrugg, then you climb on a step and start staring in another window.

> Let's write Armok's commandments
> Doubling writing the vision down on a paper
> Let's summon a speardwarf and degrade him by telling about our meeting with the Armok
> Start preaching The Armok's Word
> Let's convert some guard into our faith... Tell him about the core meaning of the Armok

You turn back to the paper and feather:
- Everything is Armok. My meeting with Him took place in His halls where I got into by accident and unexpected for myself. Someone can say that it's all false and I'm a liar but I can swear by my beard that everything I tell is truth. The Armok himself is kind and courteous. He appeared to me in form of a dwarf with thick and neat beard - you decided to cheat so other dwarfes won't grumble - But his face took almost the whole sky in front of me. While seeing His every creature to the core he warned me from some aspects of my life. Also beeing The God of Blood He complained that his disciples know no measure in sacrifices. Therefore I, as a witness of Him, will urge everyone who worships The Armok to be more moderate in bloodspilling dedicated to Him.
On my question about meaning of life the Armok answered that it is in serving him. And the answer on the main question of life, universe and stuff is Him, The Armok. Armok is everything.
And on that simmetrical ending you added just your author signature:
- King of The Mountain Home Akrulaban, Likot Ubendeb.
Looks nice. Even some teaching in it. You need to make a lot of copies and maybe even engrave in stone. Bucketotil should do that perfectly.
- Listen Kisat - you turn around - Can I tell your speardwarfes a little about The Armok?
- Sure
- Can you order them to line-up behind the wagon...the hut? I'll broadcast from the stage.
- Likot, we are going to unite our mountain homes. You had sex with me, I had sex with your wife. You can order them to walk behind and listen your preaches, we are equal.
- So you don't mind?
- Just don't fall down from th e stage.
- Would you listen too?
- I'll pass.
- Do you believe in any gods?
- I do. I just don't want to worship. And I don't care.
You carefully come out from the hut and called the guards:
- Hey, soldiers! Gather everyone behind the wagon and march after us! I have something to tell you.
They take a look around and gather all their comrades at the end of cortege. There are eight of them and you start to broadcast: about misty halls, about the start on the empty sky, about bright face of The Armok The God of Blood and The Creator of the worlds, about beeing his favorite dwarf and therefore The Chosen One. In the end you ordered then to praize The Armok and worship Him from now on.
The guards chump something, place their palms the the heart and the forehead and the raise them. Then everyone go to their places.

Meanwhile the evening is here and a human town appeared in the distance. Lights are on, windows are glowing in the thickening darkness. You're getting closer to the crossroads.

[Criperum]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You ride on the empty town square and make a camp. We have two bags of grass, 75 horse cutlets, 5 cans of high powerred acid, a salt shaker half full of salt, and a whole galaxy of multy-colored  uppers, downers, screamers, laughers from Muia... and also a barrel of sunshine, a barrel of rum, a barrel of beer, half full barrel of wine and two dozen apples. Not that we need all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious food inventarization, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
Homeless kids are fooling around:
- Ha, what's that? A house on wheels? Are you looking for someone? I can bring him to you? Mr. give me a coin! Mrs. show me your tit! Why do you need spears? What are you looking for? Do you want us to guide you some where?
From the square you can either to the tavern or the town hall or the brothel. You decide to think once more about where to go and what to do next.
