Test if this skull can sing, baby.

[NAV]

((Making a molotov isn't wasting fuel at all. It still exists, it can still be drunk or used as fuel, just in a more readily weaponizable container.))

[Comrade P.]

((Making a molotov isn't wasting fuel at all. It still exists, it can still be drunk or used as fuel, just in a more readily weaponizable container.))

((Well, when you put it like that I have to agree with you.
It's just that a proper Molotov also has some oil and other stuff in it to stick to the surface it is spilled on, and I thought of that first. But since we do the simplest variant with just gas, I suppose what you say is true.))

[Xantalos]

"Eh fine."

Check the progress of my other arm. I know I got a replacement arm, but did my healing plant regrow my bones any in the other one? Eat another leaf just to be sure.

[Toaster]

Dave wandered up behind John and poked him with his nose.  "So where to next, boss?"

[Comrade P.]

"So where to next, boss?"

 - I think we will go along these support pillars, they once held a road, and roads lead somewhere, typically. Maybe we'll get some more input to define our location in SuperHell along the way.

Walk the Warbeast along the support pillars of the elevated highway.

Test if this skull can sing, baby.

Turns out that it can! It sings with beauty that rivals the bewitching daughters of Achelous. At this point you're beginning to think that turning this wandering group of idiots into backup singers might not be such a bad idea.

"Eh fine."

Check the progress of my other arm. I know I got a replacement arm, but did my healing plant regrow my bones any in the other one? Eat another leaf just to be sure.

Your floppy arm remains floppy. It kinda itches and aches a bit but you haven't spontaneously regenerated the bones stolen from it.

"So where to next, boss?"

 - I think we will go along these support pillars, they once held a road, and roads lead somewhere, typically. Maybe we'll get some more input to define our location in SuperHell along the way.

Walk the Warbeast along the support pillars of the elevated highway.

You walk over to the driver's chair and sit down. You don't bother to mess with any of the controls you just tell the Engine Spirit to follow the pillars. You resist the urge to say "Once around the park, Jeeves."

The pillars and their crumbling thoroughfare lead southwest. The ruined city continues as it was; stumps of high rises amidst clusters of trees and expansive fields of green. There are more giant creatures as well, in varying degrees of decay. Many are skeletal but a few are desiccated and mummified; dark red skin shriveled and raisin like where it peeks out between plates of rusted armor. Eventually, as you appear to be reaching the outskirts of the the city and heading into the suburbs, you find one that is still alive. It is easily twice the size of your warbeast, much taller and more humanoid in appearance, despite the elongated arms and oversized hands. It's laying, partially propped up, against the ruins of a building. Its head is lulled back, resting partially inside the structure, and you can hear its breath echoing within. It's talon tipped hands slowly flex every so often and its chest rises and falls with a metallic hiss. Its legs and most of its lower body are gone, and only a burnt and ashy stump remains here its hips used to be.

Dave regarded the broken thing below them.  "Should we put it out of its misery?"

[Yoink]

Hyenakles: disembark the warbeast and begin feasting on the flesh of the still-living giant.

[Xantalos]

Xankarvo raises his eyebrows and snorts at the sight of the giant.

"And what battle were you in that wounded you so grievously?"

Talk to giant amputee. Cripple Empathy activate!

[Harry Baldman]

"My! That must have been some spicy weaponry that he ran afoul of."

Can I see traces of whatever it was that took off his lower body on the surrounding area? Say, scorch marks on the environment?

[Comrade P.]

"Should we put it out of its misery?"

- Look at the size of it, then at the size of us. If it won't make a move, we will move on, business as usual. I think there isn't much of self-awareness left in it at this point anyway.

Full stop - examining the legless giant. Let Xan talk to the thing and give Harry and Dave time so scout around.

[Toaster]

"Might as well look too!"

There's probably magical artifacts here for certain!  Look around.

[DoctorMcTaalik]

Hyenakles: disembark the warbeast and begin feasting on the flesh of the still-living giant.

((You hush.))

Do we still have that monkey carcass? Eat some of that while Xan talks to the thingy.

[Egan_BW]

Wish I had a guitar.
