You get this response. "Presumably? All I can tell you is its not one of the kings. We moved out here to the middle of nowhere to try to avoid all this drama. If its information you seek I would recommend heading to one of the cities."

"If you do, then follow my advice. Try to stick to the main roads as often as you can. If a vampire wants to suck some of your blood, you should let them. Unless they are unmarked of course. Predatory attacks on civilians are rarely fatal, especially in public places. Do not copy the mannerisms of a vampire clan when outside their territory; if you do then their rivals may perceive you as a future obstacle. Do not assume someone is a vampire because of a pale complexion, sometimes people are just like that. The inverse is also true. Don't talk about things from your native planet, the kings hate it when you talk about the other worlds. When dealing with the Selkies, you can only claim ignorance about a specific thing once. They are well connected. Never insult the Rappas no matter how ridiculous they act. The Geli will be able to smell you if you interact with their strange puppets, they will typically forget about you if you enter a rival's territory unless you do something bad. Never ever get involved in a clan war, just let them do their thing and move along."

"The nearest Selkie duchy is to the north. The nearest Rappa duchy is to the east. The nearest Geli duchy is to the southwest. The main roads are relatively safe within the territories, but the unmarked stalk the main roads between them. I recommend following the locals if you need to traverse them."

"Thank you for your help."

"And.. Sorry about the door"

What direction was the Tundra in GM?

[Supernerd]

Elysia
Technically you are still in the Tundra, but the explored area is a bit southwest of you.

You thank the resident. "What? Aren't you going to help fix the door?"

He (she?) clearly has neither the ability nor inclination to force you to stick around if you feel that your time is valuable.

[TricMagic]

"Well, I can't really restore the bonds, but if I can help, just ask. What do you need?"

[Supernerd]

Elysia
The first resident gestures towards the big guy and they both head to the next room. They appear to be getting some equipment as well as their outdoor clothing. Looking into the next room, you spot what looks like a rectangular "hole" in reality. Maybe about ten inches in length.

"The first thing we need to do is bring down one of those trees. Some of them are treants in disguise. Its pretty rare, but if we happen to strike one then you better be ready to fight."

[TricMagic]

"Lead the way. I can cut down trees as cleanly as the door."

[Supernerd]

Elysia
You go outside, and take down one of the trees without incident. The first resident then asks if you can also cut the log into boards that are 4cm deep and 120 cm long and at least 4cm wide with wider being preferred. He has a tool that looks like a tape measure. The big guy, who you are lead to believe is named "Bravo" starts to break the branches off the log.

The DPH of the tree is about 14cm. Its slightly less wide near the top at around 10cm.

[TricMagic]

Height of the tree? Waste wood preferences? Number of boards?

"I should be able to if I'm careful."


I served as a major energy source on Earth, and helped with the Architect's calculations later on. I've picked up bits and pieces. It may not be Multidimensional Calculus, But simple math like this is easy architecturally.

[Supernerd]

Elysia
You consider the important factors that were not included in the previous post like how tall the tree is. While your logical skills are not one of your supernatural abilities, they don't need to be for a task as simple as this. Ultimately, you are able to produce enough planks to repair the large door without the need for cutting down a second tree. The resident seems to be impressed, and Bravo starts picking up the planks.

"You're actually starting to seem like a competent witch hunter. But you're not going to intimidate any vampires looking like that. Now, please cut one more piece of wood. Its dimension should be 2.5cm wide, 2.5cm deep, and at least 10cm long. The tip should be pointed to a sharp edge. Make sure that it is small enough to conceal. Needless to say, we never met."

[TricMagic]

"Got it, thanks for your hospitality"

Cut the dimensions of said piece of wood and head toward the north roads. Spread World Order as I go along.

[Supernerd]

Elysia
You craft yourself a Wooden Stake. Its a classic vampire hunting weapon, and while it probably won't outperform your Xenoblade even against vampires, it may be effective if you feel like threatening someone without the need for a practical demonstration.

You then travel to the north near the boundaries of the lands that you uncovered. The world distorts again but your World Order brings it to order. Your experiences in reality seem to have made some manner of impact on T'agsassith again as you quickly come across a road, and a conveniently placed Taxi that is very similar to the one your true self is riding in back in Mostibimketh.

The driver is quite different though. He seems to be of the same race as the black furred people you met before. He wears a purple hat made of cloth, a jacket with a couple of chains and two yellow colored necklaces that resembles a cat's face. He introduces himself. He appears to be quite peppy, and quite a bit less androgynous than the other folks you met.

"
Going down to the Lakeside~
Come here, I'll give you a ride~
"

[TricMagic]

Close my Eyes and Read their Intent

"Glad to Ride"
"Down to the Lakeside"

Get in if it's safe.

[Supernerd]

Elysia
You read the intent of the taxi driver. While he doesn't have any hostile intentions that you are able to discern, you do discern something of note. The taxi thing is a business for him, and he is going to be expecting payment of some kind after you reach your destination. It seems that in this line of business around here it is typical to receive payment after the service is provided; you might not have picked up on this in advance if you were paying less attention.

[TricMagic]

"Of course, I don't have anything to pay with. Off-worlder, you see."

[Supernerd]

Elysia
The taxi driver takes a noticeable amount of time to think of a response to that, before ultimately settling on this limerick.

"
Sad to hear that you can't pay~
Was going down there anyway~
Guess its not a crime~
To freeload one time~
But leave a tip next time okay~
"

Seems like he is willing to tolerate you.
