That Belongs in a Museum

"Well, hello lads. First time I'm using this...message system. Heh.

Anyways, maybe we should get our bearings first before moving on to check out that godawful sobbing? I'm pretty sure goatmen don't sound like that...do they?

Say, we should run a vote on who the leader should be!"

 

A vote for leader sounds like a great idea! I feel like the strongest person here should be the leader, whoever that is.

Anyways, I think we have somebody take a peek at the sobbing without getting noticed to see what it is and if it could be potentially dangerous.

 

"That...I think that's you, in this case.
You got my vote for leader! But just be careful, alright?"

 

Well, glad to know you believe in me! I'll make sure we all get out of this alive!

 

Are physical strength and in-game level really the only things to consider? Does that make a leader capable?

Anyway, I feel the game wants us to avoid the crying. I propose we follow it instead.

 

"Drats, we got company! @Chaol, kill the lights and hide! You and Boss Man should take the hollow, I'll lurk in the shadows."

 

Thoughts on how to free the spirit from the vase? I feel that is a logical next step. The mindless wandering isn’t likely to get us anywhere, so at least this spirit could provide direction.

 

"This is going to sound dumb but what about just pouring the vase out? Breaking it is bad, ignoring it is...well, not good, so pouring it out? Or a Spellbane, are any of us Spellbanes?"

 

I am afraid, I am not well versed in spellbane. However, I will not dismiss a straightforward solution as "dumb". Sometimes these things are less obtuse than they seem. If we cannot open it in a timely manner, then perhaps we will have to take them with us. Peril may stoke their memory.

 

This is a glowing, talking vase. There will be no hiding, or proceeding with stealth, if we carry it. We'll have to agree to engage the next guards we see. I know I would rather see us free it here and now. I can control air, fire, and water. My contribution would be heating the vase and seeing what happens.

 

Fair. As for my own skills on offer; outside of illusion, I've only access to summoning and some black magic. Any brute I could summon would crush it to spite me. I can try to stretch reason thin, and overextend my own ability with an ambitious "unfillable container" hex.

 

"I'm just...Incognito, Parry, Slash. Put me in front of a Goatman and I'm good. Put me anywhere else, I'm barely capable. But could we pressure that goatman in the cell to help us?"
