Seija Quest 3

[Kilgamayan]

> Undo that swap.
> "I was hoping you wouldn't be able to. Not that I want to hide from you or anything, I was hoping no one would be able to."

[Tom]

> Undo that swap.
> "I was hoping you wouldn't be able to. Not that I want to hide from you or anything, I was hoping no one would be able to."

> "Feeling shy all of a sudden?" Sariel jokes

[Kilgamayan]

> "Try'na think of a way to get payment for that bridge guard. Or just sneak back past her without her noticing."

[Tom]

> "Try'na think of a way to get payment for that bridge guard. Or just sneak back past her without her noticing."

> Sariel takes a look around "I see...  I pray there's a more honorable path foward."

[Kilgamayan]

> "That'd be great, but I'm taking whatever I can get."
> Look around for someone we can get some amount of privacy.

[Tom]

> "That'd be great, but I'm taking whatever I can get."
> Look around for someone we can get some amount of privacy.

> There's an alleyway between a pub and a bar you could hide in.

[Kilgamayan]

> Head into that, then.

[Tom]

> Head into that, then.

> You slide into the alleyway and spot a few oni!
> "I-I-It's a g-ghost!" you hear one shout.
> "Y-ou've just had a few too many drinks!" another tries to explain
> "I see it too, run!" another shouts before all three start running out the other side of the alley and disappearing into the darkness. You spot a few bottles they must've dropped in their hurry.

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Okay, maybe this appearance isn't so bad. Here, we should both play the part."
> Try swapping Sariel (who we should still be holding to ourselves) from visible to invisible as well, so that she matches us.
> Then head over to and investigate the dropped bottles.

[Tom]

> Try swapping Sariel (who we should still be holding to ourselves) from visible to invisible as well, so that she matches us.
> Then head over to and investigate the dropped bottles.

> Using your ability you transform Sariel to as 'invisible' as can be.  "Now I can pretend to be a ghostly doll!" she laughs.
> You've obtained 3 sealed bottles:
>> Oni Slayer - The world famous sake!  You're not sure if it's supposed to be watered down, because you're already feeling buzzed just holding it!
>> Ancient Grade - The sake which all Ancient City producers compare their blends against.  It's in no way bad... but it's not great either!
>> Mind Reader - It's rumored that even the strongest Oni will sing their secrets to the world after only a cup or two!

> You've obtained 1 near empty bottle:
>> Solar Steam - Distilled through the power of the sun supposedly?  You imagine it'd just evaporate into thin air if that were true...
>> Miracle Worker - Has the outline of a shrine engraved on the bottle which looks strangely familiar?

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we have the storage space on our person to carry all of these bottles without risking the near-empty ones spilling?

> Take a closer look at that Miracle Worker shrine to see if we can remember seeing it anywhere.

[Tom]

> Do we have the storage space on our person to carry all of these bottles without risking the near-empty ones spilling?

> Take a closer look at that Miracle Worker shrine to see if we can remember seeing it anywhere.

> They're nearly empty, there's only enough to taste left.  Regardless, you can easily carry them.

> It looks like the Hakurei Shrine albeit fancier and better kept.  Perhaps it's the mountain shrine?

[Kilgamayan]

> Hmm, maybe. Maybe we can check it out some other time.
> Collect as many of the bottles as we can keep on our person while still being able to carry Sariel around after we're done. If we can't take all of them prioritize them as follows: Mind Reader > Oni Slayer > Ancient Grade > Miracle Worker > Solar Stream.
> Whenever we're done collecting bottles, scoop Sariel back up like before.
> "Well. I think this worked out fairly neatly, don't you? Now we have something to give that bridge guard on our way out."
> "Do you want to keep exploring here, or do you think we should return to our original path?"

[Tom]

> Hmm, maybe. Maybe we can check it out some other time.

> "Do you want to keep exploring here, or do you think we should return to our original path?"

> Sariel offers to help with the bottles and opens a small portal before placing them inside.  She nods "Yes we were quite lucky they ran off!  Perhaps we can exchange these somewhere for something the bridge lady would appreciate more?".
> Sariel looks around the alleyway "I don't see anything else interesting here..."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, that's not a bad idea. I was just thinking of giving her the Ancient Grade and being on our merry way."
> "Also, I meant exploring the city more versus returning to our upper cave travels."

[Tom]

> "Oh, that's not a bad idea. I was just thinking of giving her the Ancient Grade and being on our merry way."
> "Also, I meant exploring the city more versus returning to our upper cave travels."

> "l doubt it's that special...  Can't she just take a walk down to the city and get that?" Sariel comments.
> "I don't mind, there could be demons hiding both here and in your world..." she replies.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well, I mean, presumably it would cost her money. Unless you think that doesn't matter to her?"

[Tom]

> "Well, I mean, presumably it would cost her money. Unless you think that doesn't matter to her?"

> Sariel explains her thoughts "I imagine every Oni that passes through there has tried to give her a bottle of whatever they enjoy..."

[Kilgamayan]

> Are we still transparent?
> Are our clothes any more or less transparent than we are?

> Is there anyone that can see into this alleyway, that we can see?

> "Oh, that's true. Hmm. Maybe we can sell these, or trade them for other stuff, then."

[Tom]

> Are we still transparent?
> Are our clothes any more or less transparent than we are?

> Is there anyone that can see into this alleyway, that we can see?

> "Oh, that's true. Hmm. Maybe we can sell these, or trade them for other stuff, then."

> Yes you're still transparent and that includes your clothes.
> No one else is in the alleyway currently
> "Let's ask around the bars and pubs then" she suggests

[Kilgamayan]

> Is there anything large in the alley we could hide behind, just for extra safety?

[Tom]

> Is there anything large in the alley we could hide behind, just for extra safety?

> It's quite empty...

[Kilgamayan]

> How quickly do we think we could take our dress off?
> How quickly do we think we could get it back on?

[Branneg Xy]

> Yes you're still transparent and that includes your clothes.
> No one else is in the alleyway currently
> "Let's ask around the bars and pubs then" she suggests

> It's quite empty...

// In the footsteps of... ... ?  //

> Try getting as close,"flat",  non-moving  as possible to a wall in the alley in order to...

>...take a look at us if we,and Sariel in tow,could blend in a camouflaging way.

[Tom]

> How quickly do we think we could take our dress off?
> How quickly do we think we could get it back on?

> In two or three minutes.
> In another two or three minutes so five in total?

> Try getting as close,"flat",  non-moving  as possible to a wall in the alley in order to...

>...take a look at us if we,and Sariel in tow,could blend in a camouflaging way.

> You lay flat against the wall ...unfortunately you're not transparent enough to pull it off convincingly!

[Kilgamayan]

> "That's a good idea. Do you think we should keep being ghosts, or just our normal selves?"
> "Also, there's one more thing I want to try, but I need to be somewhere I can actually hide...I don't suppose you can send me to whatever space you're using to store our stuff?"

[Tom]

> "That's a good idea. Do you think we should keep being ghosts, or just our normal selves?"
> "Also, there's one more thing I want to try, but I need to be somewhere I can actually hide...I don't suppose you can send me to whatever space you're using to store our stuff?"

> Sariel explains her thoughts on the matter "I don't think we'll run into trouble but we will certainly attract attention...".
> She shakes her head "I don't think so".

[Branneg Xy]

> "I-I'm not sure..." Sariel answers.
> There's a cafe, several pubs, an inn, several liquor stores, a magical trinket shop, a blacksmith and a distillery.
> The loudest customers tend to hang around the bars and pubs...

> Sariel explains her thoughts on the matter "I don't think we'll run into trouble but we will certainly attract attention...".
> She shakes her head "I don't think so".

> Consult with Sariel about which,among the establishment we have seen before,would be the most "interesting"  to explore 1st... our "current transparency".

[Kilgamayan]

Surprise resurrection!

> Quick reminder: How small is Sariel compared to us at present?

> "Mmm. And probably not the kind of attention we want."
> Undo the 'invisibility' we've applied to ourselves and Sariel.

[Tom]

> Consult with Sariel about which,among the establishment we have seen before,would be the most "interesting"  to explore 1st... our "current transparency".

> Sariel points towards some lights in the distance suggesting there might be a town square or market.

Surprise resurrection!

> Quick reminder: How small is Sariel compared to us at present?

> "Mmm. And probably not the kind of attention we want."
> Undo the 'invisibility' we've applied to ourselves and Sariel.

// Surprise surprise!
> She is "doll size"
> Sariel nods...
> Undoing the 'discount invisibility' you return to normal see-through-ness which is to say ... none.
