Ugh. Kill yourself. Again.

You poor guy. Well, if you have full access and you're a mage, then let's go to the library!

>>333617
Ok, where you are? Southern peninsula? Any idea what's going on in the world?

Also, you don't want to be a lich. Liches are dicks. Be a heroic vampire so you'll have men and women lining up to have sex with you and/or feed you their blood.
Also, you can get basically all the same powers, but you don't have to be a skeleton or a festering sack of meat AND you can get people to respect you for a reason other than fear!

Totally a better deal.

YOUR NAME IS NOW DERRICK. DEEEEERRRRRRRIIIIIIICK.

>>333624
AND YOUR SECOND NAME IS DUKE. DERRICK DUKE IS YOU.

I don't remember. My succulent brain doesn't appear to have succulent memory after the whole out-of-coffin experience!

My name is now DERRICK DUKE.

Vampire would be pretty cool. I never tried it before, actually. I see blood, and my first thought generally hasn't been "Drink that right up!" Not that I'm judging. Derrick Duke is not a judger!

You know how to wizard but you don't know how to read?

Speaking of wizarding, what stuff can you do with your magic?

Well, about that, um.. apparently I'm supposed to become a mage. I don't actually know how to mage yet! Or read. Maybe I should learn how to do that too. So, no magic. Or reading. Maybe wandering aimlessly.

I think I saw a mage practice chamber, and an evil dungeon, and the dragon roost and the alchemy shop with that one succubus and then the lich's throne and man I can't believe I don't know how to read even that kid kobold can read.

>>even that kid kobold can read
FUCK THIS IS THE WAY PAST

What kobold?

Seeing as most of us souls can read I'm guessing we're only here to give you guidance and not abilities. Either that or you just can't get reading ability from a soul.

Oh, and to answer two questions with one stone, I was talking to the kobold! Real nice kid. A little dense at times, but everyone else has incredibly evil faces and are always intense all the time. Well, not everyone, some of the more unusual residents can be... not intense?

60 days later.

Oh god I haven't eaten or pretty much talked to anyone worth talking to. But I got magic. After 24 hours a day. Everyday. Apparently I only have the capacity for three spells at a time. I can learn any of the ones below, but only can have 3 at a time. I can change them later, but it takes a few hours each time I want to switch spells around. Something about being a zombie. I didn't really listen.

Available spells! Pick 3 for now!
Open lock. (This goes for any non-magical lock, and I'm pretty good at bypassing all but the strongest anti-magic locks.)
Water breathing.
Shapeshift (self) (Same amount of mass is easy, making myself smaller or bigger is possible but only for a few minutes!
Polymorph Other (Same restrictions as above.)
Flight (I can't go very fast, maybe around 10 miles per hour upwards?)
Feather Fall
Increase strength (Triple my own!)
Increase Speed (Also triple!)
Invisibility (I can hold it for about 4 minutes, but can't cast anything else while it's on.)

>Would you hug a necromantic bird? I wouldn't. You wouldn't. Nobody would.
Chee would.

>>333695
Increase speed. Shapeshifting. Polymorph others.

Invisibility, Open Lock, Shapeshift.

shapeshift, increase strength, and increase speed.

>>333695
Speed, shapeshift self, open lock. This'll be great.

Actuallllyyy, now that I have these spells, the oddest thing happened. I just started to notice all of these doors everwhere. They were there before of course, but now, they're just screaming out to my eyes, with their beautiful looking locks.

>>333715

you know what to do.

You know what's also screaming out for attention?
Your newly shapeshifted breasts.

>>333715
There is really only one option.

Unless someone has specifically told you to not open a door, then by giving you the Open Lock spell they've implicitly given you permission to go exploring through every locked door. Yay exploration!

Also, shapeshift into something less recognizable. Like, a bunny. Then if you get caught, you can run away and they won't know who it was! Make sure you don't shapeshift into anyone you know, though. Don't wanna get anyone in trouble.

Shapeshift into a young kobold with a wizard robe and pointy hat. No negative repercussions foreseen.

Oh god someone's coming this way. I could shapeshift but into what? There's no exits except the door, and there's a window here but there's no sill or anything to grab hold of.

I can shapeshift into something 1/5 or 5x my size. Kobold's with wizard hats and bunnies are acceptable, but I do need to hide!

Turn into a coatrack.

Turn into a sextoy

Chair.

I was taught how to read a little bit!

But you know.. yeah, I don't really care what happens to that kobold! Lokirm doesn't mean much to me either, but he's done more for me than throw me out a window.

You're really really unlucky, ya know that?

>>333918
She'll never follow that note.

Perhaps you should just shapeshift into Chee and escape instead of her. Or find whoever it is, kill them and report your loyal deed to the lich. Which would you rather do?

I punch my throat till I dislodge the communication device.

"Lich Master Dude!"
>"Who addresses me as su- oh, you. What is it?"
"I got this message from someone saying they're going to help Chee avoid some assassination thinger!"
>"What?! You know of the assassination? But... no matter. You have done the right thing by coming to me. I was soon to test your loyalty, but this will do. This is a matter of great delicacy, the King will not tolerate me killing her outright, so it must be an accident. You must find this traitor and bring him to me. Tell no one of this though, you must tread carefully."

Right. Let's go to that meeting place, disguised as Chee.

the traitor is Lokirm

Kill the traitor

The traitor is probably not Lokirm! That wouldn't make any sense! My zombie brain hurts just thinking about it. One hour, and I just barely manage to make it to the dungeon.

... Tili?!

>"Chee, you made it!"

>>333939
Welp. You really are unlucky.

Ask him how he found out.

you consider this one a friend, don't you. welp, it seems you've shot yourself in the knee. again. this is a tougher choice now- lich or Lifi. if I were you, I'd drop the disguise and tell him the story, and try to come up with a plan to mask your disobedience.

Oh, come on! I can't keep a secret from her. The disguise is coming off.

"What the heck, Tili? I thought you were with the lich."
>"... zombie? Um! Well, this is awkward. Can I trust you to keep this a secret."
"Well yeah."
>"What were you doing disguised as Chee?"
"I accidentally swallowed her communication device."
>"Geez... alright, can you go get her for me? It seems awkward, but the dungeon is where she was supposed to die! Lots of monsters down there, lots of 'accidents.' I just wanted to get her to trust me, you see."

Oh. Okay. That seems reasonable. Jeez, no wonder the message was sent so soon after Chee refused the lich's offer. It was a trap all along. And before anyone second-guesses this, remember that the lich said it had to look like an accident. So did Tili. It matches.

Yeah. Let's ... uh... wait. How the hell will Chee trust us? We're just a random zombie. I guess we could go deliver that note.

Oh so he's a traitor to Chee.

Kill the traitor

Hug Tili, eat note

>>333972
No, Tili is trying to save Chee. The lich wants to have Chee assassinated.

awesome, now you have an excuse! even if Tili frees Chee, you'll just say you were tricked without even lying. if not, even better.

Give her her communication stone, and tell her that you found it lying around in a hallway. By the way, someone was trying to get ahold of her- said to meet her at the dungeons? He said she was in danger or something. You forget the details, since you're a dumb zombie.

tell her to go to the dungeons immediately, and nothing more.

Okay, so... THIS is the real Chee? And the fake Tili ran off because he saw the real Chee approaching and was too busy trying to lure you into a trap to get ready to convince her?

This is very confusing. Illusions and shapeshifting make it hard to tell what is really going on and who is doing what.

Anyway, tell this Chee that something weird is going on and you're gonna go check it out. She can come with you if she wants. (hopefully she won't)

"I'm confused. So.... who's the traitor, who's the assassin, and who's the target?" point everywhere in a disoriented fashion.

>>334035

Do not let Chee know there is an assassin. Now, traitor might work but only if you accuse them of trying to steal something or get Chee to turn completely against our lich.

I'm not even sure there's a traitor to be found, anymore, since Chee's caller, the shapeshifter apparently, has shown three different motives.

Eat yourself, becoming a singularity and destroying timespace.

You know what, this fucking shit is going crazy. I cannot tell left from right and goddamn if a bitch-Chee is going to order us around this confusion.

I think we need to report to the lich because we can't trust anybody but him now. Yes, tell Chee you'll be going to the lich to see if he knows anything first.

"how do i know YOU aren't the illusionist or another illusion? you could be trying to send me away so you can do something"

Groan out an affirmative, ask her if she really wants to follow someone who called her down here, then turn into some sort of fast (possibly flying) thing and superspeed your way back up to the lich.

>>334086
Boobs. Maybe even MORE.

>>334086
Are you worried about her not being after the artifact, or are you actually thinking about 'spending time' with her? I thought that her being evil and sneaky was why it was going after the artifact by using illusion and shapeshifting.

You probably shouldn't try to sleep with her. Seriously.

>>334086
That's a misconception
it's often a grey world here
I've heard a tale once of a succubus accused of a murder when really all she did was has sex with him and eat some of his energy, but the result was that he was just dizzy and drunk from the energy sucking and some other fucking loser (an elf) killed him after his visit.

Now, they may be a little rough and scratch, but your a catman. Catgirls scratch like hell you should be used to that oh wait you can't remember your old life and how all the catgirls totally scratched you.

Essentially, they just eat a bit of your energy in exchange for sex, because that's how they eat. With sex. But relax, no teeth involved it's all metaphysics and magic.

What you really should tell her that you would TOTALLY DO THAT AT ANY POINT but we really should check the other suspects and we don't have enough time to fully dedicate ourselves to testing that love potion.

Enough messing around! Yeah, she took some energy of souls, but I think it's cool. She's not one of those crazy bitches that go snatching whole souls or anything. Anyways, I got her wearing something comparativelymodest, because I gotta focus.

I got the potion and we're about to enter the dungeon's side entrance. There are two ways I can take the potion.

The first method gives three effective doses by drinking a little at a time. Each one lasts for only five minutes, but can see straight through any illusions, to the reality beyond.

OR, I can take the entire potion, and it'll last for several hours, but I can only see if there is an illusion, but I won't be able to see the reality. Only that what I see is fake, nothing more.

We've only got three sips. Chugging the whole thing has an unexpected effect, even if it lasts longer. We may not find any illusions within those five hours and even if we do we can't tell what it really is. So take a sip when you see something suspicious, not the whole thing.

Well that whole place looks rather odd. See if you can find some stuff to throw at whatever looks most illusiony and suspicious.

Back AWAY from the mouth of madness, Duke. You don't know where it's been.

>Throw rock at whole room.

Alright!

tink tink tink

Well that's odd, it's floating in mid air, another illusion.

I'm not going to back away, I've got to impr - a mission to finish!

Ask Hella Breasts about the illusion, and if there is any way to dispel it.

>>334328
Okay, so... How much of this fake pit is floor? Shapeshift into a bat and use echolocation to see where the walls and floor are.

sit down and try to touch where the rock makes it appear to be a floor.

I can shapeshift into a bat, but I don't get echo..whatever abilities.

"Hella- Minci, can you dispel it?"
>"Not easily, it takes time which we have, but resources, which we don't. This is definitely top of the line!"

"I'm going to hug the ground and go to the rock."

>"Wha- wait! But the rock fell!"

.. that was another illusion? No, I'm getting the hang of this! The rock is definitely on solid ground, it's not an illusion!

>>334351
Shapeshift into a multi-limbed creature and feel around in front of you. How about a giant spider? Even if one limb hits air you'll have the others on solid ground.

how about a giant winged centipede instead, because centipedes are awesome and wings are necessary?

Change into a tentacle monster and check if the ground is there. If so, proceed, using your tentacles to feel around.

Let's try everything! I'm not actually sure what a centipede looks like now that I think about it. Oh well!

Ground is sure solid, though I'm also mind numbingly terrified the pit goes on down forever by the looks of it.

>"I hope you're there! It looks like you've fallen! Here, let me give you my vision."

... huh! Is the illusion random for each person? Wait a sec- that door she sees. It's not an illusion.

wonder how she'd react if she saw your vision.

proceed doorways.

Yeah, tell her you're there. Also that's an interesting trick she's got there. Throw the rock at the door. It could be trapped or something.

Feel around to confirm more floor, too. I have a feeling this is just a normal hallway and the illusion is there to simply make people not want to enter.

Tell her to check your vision.

Besides, don't Succubus have wings?

You may have to give her a piggy-back ride. Perhaps as something like wings. Like Pegasus.

...I wonder if she'll think she's falling too. :V

>>334374
Then she'll be clinging to Derrick the entire way out of fear of falling and dying.

yeah she needs to ride you across. you noble steed you.

>>334364
how did see send you her vision? is that like a succubus power that's available for all of her "victims"?

>>334364
Sounds like you should aim for the door then.

Grope the Suc-umm...the wall to find the door.

Hey wait, yeah! Don't succubi have wings?
"Well, anyways, it's safe enough! Don't you have wings?"

"Okay, so.. where's the door?"
>"A little to your left!"
"It would help if you opened your eyes. If you want to, I mean."
>"I'm sorry! It really feels like we're falling. But you still look like you're walking, so based on how far we've gone.. 5 steps to your left, and you should be close enough to feel around for it!"

Err.

>"I think we might be a little out of our league, hun. These illusions are so strong it actually affects reality, in ways. But for the most part, the potion should still be sensing stuff!"

Okay! I think I have a handle on this. So let me present to you...

THE RULES.

The vision is split, as you can see, between us. Both visions are supposedly of the same room, but obviously appear very different! I can tell some things are an illusion, and some are not, and some I just don't know. Combining this information, we have to pass to the next room! Real objects are tinted GREENish, while illusions are tinted PURPLE. If it is NOT purple or green, then it may or may not be an illusion!

Combining this information, we have to safely cross to another door. And I'd like to remind you that if it is NOT green, it could be an illusion, even if it's not purple!

>"Remember, even if it's fake, falling on spikes will still hurt and immobilize us, because these illusions are just that good. If something like that happens, the other person will need to help out. They won't do any real harm, sure, but if we both get trapped... well, I don't know!"

Spell reminders! Open Lock, Shapeshift, Increase Speed (Speed can be cast on others.)

>>334481
So it looks like green are things that are undeniably there...
So are purple things that which we can just ignore?

>>334481
Feel your way left. Should be a ladder there. Climb it and carefully feel your way back right. If not, fuck it. Turn into a chameleon and waddle all over the walls until you find a door.

Just fucking punch the illusion in its face

>"I'm sorry, but that probably won't work, because even though they're illusions, to us they most likely feel solid. So if I were to walk into a fake wall, to me it would feel like I walked into a real wall, while Duke might just see me suddenly convulse in pain for no apparent reason if he didn't see that same wall."

go up the green stairs to your right visible in succubus-vision. watch out for floors not there- grope around before stepping.

Checking the floor without stepping will always be a given!

>Succubus moves up Left Stairs.

>"Okay, I'm up! There's a wall in the way.
"That's definitely an illusion."
>"It feels real, I won't be able to walk forward when I perceive myself right up against it."

>>334487
I gotta ask, what about groping around blindly? Will that decrease the effect of the illusions?
If one person blinds themselves and and is dragged through the illusion that one sees, then the other can do the same to 'cheat' through another illusion.
Just like how it looked and felt like you were falling in the earlier room, despite Duke not getting that at all, he still dragged you through it involuntarily.

Looks like Duke should transform into a pegasus, then fly up to where the succubus sees her door and drop her off there. Then he can just fly down to his door. Both parties should open the door, and it SHOULD lead to the same room. I would like Duke to attempt to make sure somehow that he doesn't smash his face into a wall that's behind an illusion and fall onto those very real spikes, though.

I wonder if you can use Open Lock to see which door is the real one, if they're not both real? Try it! If only one of them is real then we should revise the flying-around plan.

>>334486

it seems to be more like this.

>>334491
Right, Duke should fumble along the wall to his left and grab the ladder that is there, then follow Minci to the door. Give her a boost over the wall and we've reached one door- BUT, first Duke should check the floor just past the illusory wall to make sure that it won't drop Minci into the spikes down there. That is a very real possibility.
