Posts from 🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks Auto-translated

- If the Dark faction is in the Dungeon, the Water faction is in the water, and the Earth faction is among the undead, then the Green faction must be somewhere in the sky. Maybe on a high mountain, - a unit with one point of intelligence shares its thoughts. - We'll find it somehow. Maybe we'll find some kind of special map, or something like that. But there's no point in thinking about it right now; there are closer options.

- Does anyone know where "all of that" is located?

- Somewhere not in this region, - he shrugs with his jagged shoulders.

A toxic-pink shard of consciousness: hideous! Hideous! Hideous! That clumsy, hideous Hound...

Kamistella begins to remove her own stitches, not very skillfully, but with frightening determination. At the same time, her face contorts, and from time to time, screams of pain or moans escape her lips.

Black shard of consciousness: you will tear your head back on...
Toxic-pink shard of consciousness: it won't be as hideous as these stitches!

The wounds heal right before our eyes, and fortunately for the Sorceress, the consequences of the severed head do not harm her attractiveness.

“I’ve only seen a generally outdated map somewhere, but it doesn’t have the obelisks marked… If we simplify things, there are three left on our mainland: two to our right, one to our left; and two more on the northern continent; and one closer to the west on the islands.” The young man, now more relaxed after taking a drag, noted the approximate directions in his mind. “The question now is whether we should stick together or split up? Each method has its own noticeable advantages and disadvantages. And the second, more important question: how do we infiltrate hostile countries? We can still blend in in Calcite; I, for example, speak the language, but the Harranians won’t recognize us unless we use the unique abilities of the Tannoy Soul.”

-- The Zuthyshm Obelisk should be the last one. If we're lucky, the Haranian capital will be razed to the ground by then, and everything will be simple. In all other locations, we'll pretend to be refugees; luckily, there are plenty of them everywhere. Whether we travel as a group or not is a more complex question. It seems like we have plenty of time, so we can afford to travel as a party. There's strength in numbers, after all. However, we'll attract a lot of attention.

- I'm not sure things will be easy with Calcite... it's like a cancerous tumor, - he throws the cigarette butt away with a sneer. - But maybe it will work in our favor if they've concentrated their forces elsewhere. Perhaps now the only way to get there is by sea. As for whether they'll be there in large numbers or not - this thing, the key or whatever it is, we only have one, right? So there are no other options. Although I didn't really understand how it works.

🐱🐲: I still love looking at maps. I found all the obelisks except for two obvious ones, but I have some good ideas where to look for them. 🎪🏹: It's strange that one of the obelisks was right under our noses, and we didn't know about it! Oh, I would run around the whole world, I would! And I would make so many wishes... ⛓️♿: I'm afraid to imagine. 🎪🏹: By the way, author, will you share your guesses with the players? 🐱🐲: No. It wouldn't be in character. What, should voices whisper the answer in their heads from behind the fourth wall? Let them figure it out themselves. It only worked with Guion. ⛓️♿: By the way, I suddenly lost the ability to look behind the fourth wall after the move. 🎪🏹: But my head also stopped hurting... Well... Almost... ⛓️♿: Well, at least it hurts for a reason now. 🐱🐲: I just don't really like the trick of breaking the fourth wall. It's hard to do it beautifully, naturally, and organically. King did it well in "The Dark Tower," but the whole book is such a crazy performance that it can't be ruined by anything. I love it. ⛓️♿: You said you can't stand King, that he doesn't write scary or atmospheric stories, that it's stuffy and full of unnecessary details. 🐱🐲: In most cases, yes, but he still has a couple of good works.

Toxic-pink shard of consciousness: that's much better!
Black shard of consciousness: it might not have worked out so well...
Toxic-pink shard of consciousness: I can't be wrong about matters of beauty!
Shard of consciousness 1: and who is that guy standing in a cross-armed pose?
Black shard of consciousness: that's Ferrus. He's probably just in shock at what's happening.
Shard of consciousness 1: as are we all... as are we all...
Red shard of consciousness: argh, well, if pink can do it, then so can I! Let's gouge out Asmidula's eyes! The very eyes with which he dared to see Linshi! New ones will grow back anyway...
Black shard of consciousness: don't be stupid, he's one of us. If we quarrel with this dream team, how will we then accomplish the one and only main task? I'm talking about the resurrection of Neferia, of course!
Shard of consciousness 2: in the Haranian Empire, they will torture us cruelly, and in Calcite, and here too... maybe we should stay by this obelisk and not go anywhere?
Shard of consciousness 1: where is the shard of patriotism? I don't see it...
Black shard of consciousness: it couldn't handle the news of Calcite's attack...
Shard of consciousness 1: poor thing. Then we really should abandon the continent and look for safer obelisks.
Original shard of consciousness: but what about the mansion?! What about Kimchilla?!
Black shard of consciousness: we'll build a new one. Neferian. With guardians from the Knights.
Original shard of consciousness: but we have to take Kimchilla's portrait with us!
Lustful shard of consciousness: ah, and do all sorts of things with it!

At one point, Kamistella made a sharp lunge towards Asmidula, but immediately stopped.

– Ushumgallu is right. Asuguh is now a place of slaughter, we should focus on the remote obelisks, and return here when the war is over. The Haranian Empire or Calcite... it doesn't matter. If you know how, you can even come to an agreement with the Sorceresses. But only in peacetime," the Lunarian said in an almost calm tone. "We are immortal, but this advantage will only work the first time. Then they will find out about us and problems will begin. Therefore, we must avoid battles where there may be living witnesses.

Kamistella also looks at her comrades and checks to see if the red marks on her body have disappeared.

They are gone.

“I have doubts about Zutyshmu,” said a friend familiar with the kingdom’s plans, shaking his head. “It seems Calcite has his own fleet, right? So, we, the Asugukh forces, will have to quickly retreat to defend ourselves. This is not good.” He picked up a cursed photograph from the ground, examined it for a while, and then burned the faces on it with a cigarette butt until the pain was searing on his fingertips. He folded the remaining, unrecognizable image in four and hid it in his breast pocket, next to the growth potion. “We can move further away. I don’t know how, but I won’t let them destroy our homeland. We’ll get another chance to retaliate, the goddess will see to it. But first, I’d like to stop by the library. Read about the countries we’re going to, and their relationships with each other. I don’t want to end up caught between two fires again.”

Therefore, we must avoid battles where there might be living witnesses left.

-- Ha! -- Ushumgallu choked, almost coughing up smoke. -- I like her!

-- The Obelisk of Zutyshm must be the last. If we're lucky, the Haranian capital will be razed to the ground by then, and everything will be simple. In all other locations, we'll pretend to be refugees; luckily, there are plenty of them everywhere. Whether we travel as a group or not is a more complex question. It seems like we have plenty of time, and we can afford to travel as a squad. There's strength in numbers, after all. However, we'll attract a lot of attention.

- Are you so sure that "by that time" they will raze specifically the Haranian capital?
- There's strength in numbers, that's true. And I also assume that we shouldn't "attract" anyone else? Or at least, the "outsider" shouldn't know why we're looking for the obelisks...

We are immortal.

- And I'm not so sure about that... We might die, and Tann will create even more "helpers" for himself...

- I'm not so sure... We'll die, and Tann will just gather more "helpers" for himself...

—He won't just gather them that easily. They were bluffing, but they're better players than in "Thousand". Now, imagine the gods-emperors of this world meticulously dealing with ants and explaining their position. That's quite an honor. So, we're actually more useful to them, and we should always keep that in mind.

—He won't give up that easily. They were bluffing, and they were better at it than players in "Thousand". Now, imagine the gods-emperors of this world meticulously dealing with ants and explaining their position. That would be quite an honor.

- I think so too. It's in his best interest for everything to work out; he has already failed.

Remembering that the communicator was taken in Calcite, meaning he won't be able to create a Telegram conference, he asks:
- Do you happen to have any sorcerers with a magical way to communicate? Or should we organize a common place, something like a headquarters? Hey! - he shouts in the direction of what might be an obelisk or the place where the black dog ran off. - It's an important question!

- Hmm. He said he tainted his soul and is "always nearby." What if we try that... - assuming a mysterious pose, he closes his eyes and tries to telepathically transmit a vision of a waitress's bust from "Kalamandra" to Asmidul.

But first, we should stop by the library. Read about the countries we're going to visit and their relationships with each other. I don't want to end up caught between two fires again.

- We definitely need to go to the library. But I'd also like to visit Mufigur. We're about to embark on a journey to who knows where, and I haven't even visited three cities in my own country yet. It seems like we can't get to Ruzaniel right now. We can go to Onkaih right now, but Mufigur...
- And what about the guilds? We can't just take off and... disappear to who knows where...

Unfortunately, the attempt at telepathy fails, and the Knight doesn't respond either.
