Hmm. Does it seem to be hot at all? Heated or summat?

In any case, try once more.

((Just so y'all know I'm without internet at my house for 5 days so I'll be a little sparse with actual posts until then. I should be able to get actions in, there's wifi at work, but until then.))

It's...kinda warm.

Now it's a bit warmer.

Your FAITH in yourself is strong but really, what is that FAITH of one man worth, especially in so low key a situation.

Fly back up to the warbeast's back.

"Right, chaps, seems like these here ruins are bloody useless in every possible way. Let's be moving on?"

Welp, back you go.

"Uhhhh... mostly just graassss here.  Pretty tasty, though ssssometimes it ww-wuh-whispers."


Enjoy the long-lost feeling of drunkenness.

Hey guys...hey guys, we going anywhere any time soon?

HurHuum floats beside John and shows him a worn page from its notebook.
"Hmm?"

Hello
What are you?/called

- So you can do that, huh? Good enough. I'm John, the driver for this outfit.

"Right, chaps, seems like these here ruins are bloody useless in every possible way. Let's be moving on?"

- If you say so...

"Uhhhh... mostly just graassss here.  Pretty tasty, though ssssometimes it ww-wuh-whispers."

- Yep. Definitely moving on. Anything else seem finicky to you about that place?

Get back to command chair, sit there with rifle on my lap and keep watch for now while the Warbeast marches on. Not running, like on our way here, just walking by at its cruising speed.

Also: we have these boxes for rifle bullets. Are they made of tin or zinc or something like that?

The boxes or the bullets?

Also, which way you wanna go from the ruins? Just keep going straight on, or change direction?

Examine the room Im in, any chance I could fall off the warbeast in this room?

Eh...I don't wanna say no, but if you did it would involve the war beast tilting at least 90 degrees so chances are if that happens you have more to worry about.

[Comrade P.]

The boxes or the bullets?

Straight on for now. If we come across some road, or if we can see one from where we are (fat chance, it's night), follow the road.

Also, the boxes. I want to know what boxes are made of.

[Egan_BW]

Test how high up this platform is. Can I "see" the ground from here using my echolocation?
((Friendly reminder that my character in also blind ))

[fillipk]

Get over my fear of falling off the warbeast and go onto a deck.  Be another pair of eyes examining the surroundings

"So where are we going?

[Toaster]

Wander the "ship."  How much of the edibles are plant based?

[Xantalos]

I HAVE FAITH IN THE ME THAT HAS FAITH IN MYSELF THAT HAS FAITH THAT I'M GOING TO LIGHT THIS FUCKING ROCK ON FIRE

The boxes are made out of...well you're not entirely sure. It's metal, silvery, light but also very thin. Could be aluminum? Or maybe Steel? Or maybe Tin? Hard to say honestly. Could be some kind of metal that only exists somewhere here in the afterlife. You get the feeling that your gun is made of something like that.



As per a road, no, you don't find one of those. However, you do find  other interesting things on your continued path forward. There are more ruins, all similar to these, of varying size.  Eventually, about 20 minutes away, you find a set of ruins that appears to be still somewhat intact. It appears to be a few levels of stone scaffolding, of a quite impressive size.

Nope.

You jump onto the railing around the deck and start walking around, shouting pirate quotes and telling people to do various things with non-existent sails and masts and booty.

Wander the "ship."  How much of the edibles are plant based?

A fair bit of the food is plant based. Fruits, mostly.

You're gonna have to do something better.

[Harry Baldman]

Fly around, do high altitude surveys of the area. Watch out for nearby features of the landscape.

[Comrade P.]

- Now we're talking. Hey Hyenakles, wanna look inside those ruins? I'm afraid you'd be on your own fighting-wise, since I'm not in any shape for exploration, and Xankarvo is still out of business, but that means everything you find becomes yours and yours only! Your call.

[Toaster]

"Hey now; I'm plenty steady in a scuffle!  Can't knock me down!"

[DoctorMcTaalik]

"I'm not going in there alone. I'll take the Dino guy with me, and Mr. Bird, if he wants."

[Comrade P.]

"I'm not going in there alone. I'll take the Dino guy with me, and Mr. Bird, if he wants."

- Good idea. Grab any weaponry you see fitting, I'll get the dino down.

Hyenakles should manage to get down form Warbeast himslef, others might require assistance - provide it.

While they're gone, start a fire if it's still dark. Then get to work.

Spoiler: Time to make some peg legs (two of them) (click to show/hide)

The main idea is that the stripes of metal trapped inside the hollowing in the bottom of the leg part will act as a flat spring.
The general idea should be clear. I do not know if going any further into specifics will do more good than harm.

[Toaster]

"What in blazes is a dino?"

[Comrade P.]

"What in blazes is a dino?"

- Ugh. Look, I don't know what were you before, but your current body is awfully similar to something colloquially known as a Dinosaur, Dino for short. We haven't quite memorized your name yet... _{what was was it} Dave, so be cool about it. It is something like calling a man you're not familiar with "a human", it's not an insult.

[Xantalos]

"...perhaps if I murder someone and use their sacrifice to power my magic..."

Contemplate murder-based methods of gaining the ability to manipulate fire. Would burning someone alive be better, or perhaps killing them and then setting their heart on fire and eating it? Dramatics seem to be important, after all.

"Oh, if you find any arm prosthetics bring them to me."
