Look. . . there was that thing that inquired of us for its release, and the other thing that wanted stuff. . . . . I feel we should inquire of the creature that wanted its freedom, what it would do with such freedom. And bluff for honesty, with honesty being the condition of that thing finding its long awaited goal.

(That was the bird)

Take a peek back in the storage room with our new-found unearthly lantern.

Oh. . . . . Actions still stands. . . .offer the bird its freedom if it speaks the truth to us and answers our question?

fair enough. I am out of practical new ideas.

I'm still not sure how the ability to turn the lantern on and off will work. I guess that you can just toggle it whenever you want. It has a potential to give you different actions depending on whether it's on or off.

The lunarian glow accompany you into the storage room. The pale moonlight seamlessly joins the soft glow that filled the room. The damp iron filing is a glistening black blot on the floor.

examination of the creature! we can survive another sanity blast.

[heydude6]

don't forget to turn off the light, if possible

[StrawBarrel]

2) Look at it.

[WillowLuman]

Apologize, then turn off the lamp.

[hops]

Looks like we have a tie.

[WillowLuman]

They're not mutually exclusive. Turn off light -> apologize -> look at the thing. Or look at it throughout the whole sequence.

Finished writing this up ages ago, was deciding on exposition method.

Actually, all these lantern fiddling is kind of dumb so I integrated it into the choices. The lantern is now both on and off, depending on convenience.


A single, titanic eye stare at you in the midst of its snarl of disturbingly human appendages. A vast number of crimson-feathered wings make up for most of its bulk. Looking at it, you realize that the being is bigger than the room. Bigger than anything you can imagine, in fact. Yet, it somehow occupies the corner of the cell. You avert your eyes as if staring at it too much will get you crushed in its sheer immensity. That, and because the thing you accidentally glimpsed under the wings made your eyes' sockets bleed.

Now that you think about it... was that a woman's face you saw? As you turn off the light of the lantern, you find that the being faded back into a shapeless darkness. It can't just be the lighting.

... Your sanity has dropped to 6.5 - Wary!
... Your health has dropped to 7 - Scratched!
... You have been acquainted with the Many-Winged One!
... Your Lantern had leveled up to 2- Weaponized Revelation!

2) The vial (2 minutes)

The psychic message from it is getting clearer now. That vial with green liquid. What is it, and why does the Many-Winged One want it?

3) Freedom!

Finally you can leave this dismal room. You don't know what lies outside.

Don't forget to apologize. We mustn't forget our manners in front of the many-winged one. Then take a look at the vial.

We need to look for the vial. My hunch is that it is in the shelf. . . . . Also. . . . Could I really call myself bay12 normal if my fist instinct,  upon the discription of the lady, before I knew it was a lady, was to recommend kissing it?
Also, Objective, you should probably update the stats and things.
