[Comrade P.]

"For now let's just see what the next realm brings. For all we know there could be some places we can get prosthetics from."

- My thoughts exactly.

John turns to the wall of fog that is coming in sight already.

[DoctorMcTaalik]

Hyenakles clears his throat.

"Gun powered by blood, and nobody thought to collect any from the giant fucking heart back there. What a shame.

...Anyway, glad to see you both made it back in- well, that you both made it back. I was worried there for a moment."

[Comrade P.]

"Gun powered by blood, and nobody thought to collect any from the giant fucking heart back there. What a shame.

- We're not going back. Last time I saw it, this heart was pumping magical sparkles and glitter instead of blood anyway, and all the Salthe that flew away wouldn't be happy to see us return.

[Xantalos]

"Good to see you weren't actively wishing for my demise or anything. Not interested in joining my blood pact, I'd guess?"

[DoctorMcTaalik]

"I'm not really one for oaths... But I would like to meet God and give him a piece of my mind. Do I actually have to sign anything in blood?"

[Xantalos]

"No, I think all we did was mutually shed blood and swear we'd get to the First Heaven whatever came our way. Like cut our hands a bit. We might have killed someone to seal the deal, I'm not sure."

[Comrade P.]

"No, I think all we did was mutually shed blood and swear we'd get to the First Heaven whatever came our way. Like cut our hands a bit. We might have killed someone to seal the deal, I'm not sure."

- That last part bothers me. But I think these Salthe I incinerated would do as a sacrificial creatures. And I have also shed some blood recently, so that's also a check.
...
Before I knew it, I was actually in. Heh.

[piecewise]

To the other side!

The warbeast charges straight through the fog barrier and into the world beyond it.

The world beyond the pleasing lands of snake evisceration is...well...quite lovely actually. Dark, but not unpleasantly so. The sky is speckled with stars and strange thin filaments of starlight are flowing very slowly across the blue black dome of the heavens. It looks...almost like a pleasantly malfunctioning planetarium. The land is a great field of waist high grass and tall, sunflower like blossoms which glow faintly. There are no hills or mountains, just a flat field stretching off for miles in all directions. The only visible landmark is a large cluster of what appear to be ruins or maybe just large stones off in the distance. There is definite light coming from them as well; bright enough to be a fire or a lantern.

[Comrade P.]

((Why my first thought after reading description was "That's too nice, everything must be secretly poisoned or something is lying in wait and wants to catch us off guard".))

- Obvious question: are we calling it a day and getting some sleep or should we investigate that stuff over there? Your call, people.

Inuire if Engine Spirit recalls this place. Probably not, since it doesn't look like much, but they don't charge money for asking here. Take the driver's seat of Warbeast for better view, make it walk slowly towards the glowy ruins.

[Xantalos]

"I say we just go see what it is; we're running low on food and water as it is. If we delay too much longer we might start to go hungry."

[Egan_BW]

((... Should have grabbed some fruit while you could! ))

[Comrade P.]

"I say we just go see what it is; we're running low on food and water as it is. If we delay too much longer we might start to go hungry."

- We're not exactly low on those - what we have should last us a few more days, especially now that there are fewer persons who consume those, but yeah, starting to accumulate even more seems like a good idea at this point. Anyone else has something to say?

[Xantalos]

"I am also eager to get functioning arms and by my reckoning that place is the most likely place here to have replacements."

Speaking of which, try shooting fire again. Only this time try to breathe it! Focus with all my mind and belief that I am capable of shooting flames out of my mouth as scalding as the insults I dish out!

Actually hold on a tic, fire, while mesmerizing and intoxicating and delicious, isn't the key to solving some/all of my problems depending on how far I'm able to abuse it. Xan speaks of of course the infinitely stretchable power of telekinesis! Focus on a small object that's fairly light - a stray pebble or something like that. Make it lift off the platform without touching it. Believe as hard as I can that it's going to lift!

[Harry Baldman]

"Looks nice, if a bit flat. Maybe this one doesn't want to eat us. But wait, good chaps, I shall fly and take a look. If I do not return, assume that the place wants us dead."

Reconnaissance! Fly toward the stony ruins and get some visual info from closer up. Return with scouting information once I feel satisfied with my fine work.

[DoctorMcTaalik]

"Assuming Mr. Bird doesn't encounter anything particularly nasty, we might as well scope out those ruins. Perhaps we could have the warbeast begin clearing some of the rubble?"

Wait for Mr. Bird to return
