[SPOILERS] Bad Omen Plot: NPC Text
Replies
There’s some scrawls in the Islander Native language that you cannot decipher. Kahaleitzli reads them for you:
2 and 8 pins of one use apiece 7 squares must fit to enact the release Uniform size they need not be Complete the puzzle to win the key!
I solve the puzzle and I got a bronze key.

If the stranger was able to come this far, what stopped them from collecting all the keys for themselves and plundering the temple? What was the point of sending you the map if they were already here?

The bronze key seems like it would fit the bronze lock on this door. With a sense of trepidation, you move the key toward the lock, but Blake stops you.[/b]

<p>Perhaps, for the third part of my plan, I’ll cast you all into the volcano because I am such an untrustworthy and unscrupulous character. You know, instead of keeping you in the village and giving the lot of you to the witch, which would instantly solve my problem. I’m honestly not sure which of you is the bigger idiot.
Saggitarius
Steel
I approach the Iron Door. Gripping the key you insert it into the lock and it turns easily. You’re not sure what you expected, but something more than that. Your heart in your throat, you slowly ease the door open.
Steel
Saggitarius He stops you immediately.

Another filler post for tomorrow.
Thanks again for posting these! <3

I told him what I have spoke with Matlal
Kahaleitzli
Rude? No not at all. He was nice! Het told me the trial of kings.
Kahaleitzli
Your majesty, your brother was really nice to me! He loves you and he told about the truth about the trial of kings
Kahaleitzli Kahaleitzli looks at you cautiously.
Your majesty, I’m not agree what you say about your brother. (I told him that the real Matlal told about the real trial of kings)
Kahaleitzli Kahaleitzli is stunned into silence for a moment. A mixture of unnameable emotions runs across his face in quick succession.
I nod.
Kahaleitzli He sighs, defeated.
What do you mean?
Kahaleitzli
What about Merana?
Kahaleitzli
<p>Then, suddenly, it seemed that her power was growing. Animals of the islands began to carry the taint of her dark magic within them - I believe you call this darkness Hydrus?
No, I don't undertand. ESPECIALLY YOU AND MATLAL ARE FRIENDS WITH HER! I saw it on her NPC user profile. There is so much I don't know and understand. How could you talk about with fear if you are at the same moment friends with the same person?
Kahaleitzli
Could you tell me more please?
Kahaleitzli
<p>She asked for three things in return: our reverence, our gold, and our blood. As far as I understand, our reverence and gold serve the same purpose, for vanity is a fickle beast. The blood, on the other hand… Well, I have never quite deduced its purpose.</p>
<p>Regardless of its purpose, however, the offering of blood had always been voluntary - for the good of our people, someone would choose to pay the ultimate price once per year. It was always considered a bittersweet occasion. The summer festival was held in their honor, everyone knowing that at the end of it all, the terrible sea would sleep again.</p>
<p>You’ve seen the village, now. It is but a shadow of what it once was. Many of our people have chosen to leave and set up new homes around Subeta. I cannot blame them, for who could truly rest well raising a family here, knowing that one day tradition may call upon them to leave all that they love? Volunteers have grown quite scarce in recent years.
How was the year after Amy died?
Kahaleitzli
Stone-faced, he looks slightly past you instead of at you, though his eyes seem to glisten with a bit of extra moisture.
And what thought Matlal about it?
, I've more text.
Kahaleitzli
<p>I had a different perspective: How could I possibly expect everyone to leave their homes and lands, the lands of their birth and the resting place of the ancestors forever? How could I let our glorious empire end as crumbled ruins and a footnote in some explorer’s journal? He and I did not become Kahaleitzli for that - and I do mean we, for he is the king that works in the shadows, away from the eyes of our people.
His stoic expression finally breaks, and he looks away from you for a moment to hide the tears that streak down his cheeks. He clears his throat, raising his hand as if to block a cough, but quickly and subtly wipes his eyes instead.
Why Amy?
Kahaleitzli
<p>I can never tell you why she was chosen for I truly do not know, but her end was brought about by my hand, and my hand alone. I hope that you do not judge all islanders based upon my actions that day, for they only did what was ordered by their king.
I don’t Judge quickly. And I'll certainly not judge when I know something, but still don't understand. So what’s the point?
( Kahaleitzli gives me a long, resigned look)
Your majesty, could you tell me your name please?
Kahaleitzli
(He laughs wearily.)
Nice to talk with you, your majesty.
Could this possibly be moved to the General Discussion forum? Since the original question has been answered, yet we're still using it as a general place to keep track of the plot story from the NPCs?
Thanks for this thread! I was afraid I missed some things with the downtime and whatnot.
I love how all the dialog really captures the NPCs' personalities!

Steel Aw, don’t make it sound like that. That’s not how it sounds. Just, well, you’ve been doing them so far and we’ve remained un-cursed, so why mess with a winning combination, right?[/quote]

Two of a kind will combine, Up, down, left, and right To reach 512 will be fine A key to end your fight
Solved puzzle. I found a silver key
Everyone seems quite tired and worn down. You decide to move straight on to the Silver Room.
You approach the Silver Door. With shaking hands, you insert the key into the lock and… hit something. The key will not turn. Removing the key and peering into the keyhole, you see that it is full of debris.

Everyone gives Matlal their own version of a bemused look.

, could yoy give me a placeholder please?
Steel
NO!!! (I saw just one option an go into the temple with dislike)
(I read this) Jump each pearl to open space Over neighbor pearls attain Use your mind, it’s not a race Only one pearl must remain
(Puzzle doesn’t work for me by technical reasons)
Just as I skip the puzzle, Saggitarius rushes in from outside. I want to run to the camp to tell him, but that wasn't needed anymore
Saggitarius
<p>He looks around in a panic, then sees the door of the silver room, conspicuously blown open.</p>
<p>ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?

Are we just supposed to battle and loose everytime??? What is the point?

[tot=PrincessMiMi]
It's a global battle; everyone is fighting the same boss, and the more damage you do, the more prizes you'll earn. If your pet is in the top (whatever amount) in their tier they'll get an extra prize
Thanks so much. This is all new to me so any help I can get I am happy with
[tot=PrincessMiMi]
if you don't place for your pet's tier, or care about earning the did-Z-amount-of-damage prizes instead of buying them off someone who did fight, it's the 'heroism' part of the plot. You get to pretend one or more of your pets goes and helps all of subeta pull off a one in a million win at the crux of the movie, if you like.
It's not necessary to a site event, but some find it fun so a phase like this is often included. Not everyone likes battling and battling can get to be quite the expensive hobby and involves training over larger amounts of time than a site event usually lasts, so it is seldom required.
Normally I'd be in on the fighting but all the 502 and 504 errors are bugging me, so I'm sitting this one out. I'm going to be restocking in official shops while the battlers are preoccupied so I can earn the sP to buy the prizes from them later. Now's also a good time to stalk Subeautique and the Black Heart Hollow
You approach the central door and fit each key into its corresponding lock. Turning them, they all move freely and make a satisfying click. As the final gold key is turned, some larger locking mechanism inside the door itself springs to life. Several seconds of grinding and thumping noises pass, then silence.
Elwood

Open it!
Saggitarius
The teams line up at the door, each taking one half. On the count of three, the doors are heaved open. The ancient hinges squeal in protest, the doors themselves sagging and scraping the uneven floor. Eventually, a space wide enough to pass through is opened, a gust of stale air escaping the dark chamber beyond. A noise stirs inside.

Aides rush over with flashlights, torches, and whatever else they can get their hands on. Oh no. Oh NO. Inside the room, treasure glitters in the light, but something else stirs within and it isn’t happy.
