War Of Provinces [dead]

Report back to the Corkus government.

 

“Okay everyone, for the rest of the day you will be learning some close combat techniques”

 

I am going to look around the docks to see if anyone is selling supplies like provisions.

 

The antidote seems to be very powerful, and it glows very vibrantly. More powerful than any antidote possibly ever invented.

something very bad, as you might notice

Asner welcomes you again.

"Yo, I thought ya ded! Oh, right. Respawn. Corkian inventions are hella cool. Anyway, what news?"

You tell him(her?) the whole deal.

"Ah... I knew that queen was such a bitc-- I mean, annoying scum. I doubt if you were to infiltrate the gates again--which couldn't be easy a second time--and head back to the queen, she'll just execute you again. Maybe after taking away your respawn mechanism. Now, I wouldn't want you to die forever, right? Perhaps... wow, I just got this crazy idea!" You restrain from rolling your eyes. "Maybe we should get, like, all our forces and smash that gate open with all our awesomeness! Their government won't call us shit ever again! Yeah?"

Your soldiers gather and listen.

Do you have a "precise" way of executing the training session (which would be a more efficient train), or leave it to RNG?

The Potion Merchant offers you a sale on her potions.

"Hello, Robert. I'm glad to have you back. Would you like to see what I have? I've got a sale, so most items are 50% off."

 

"If we're no longer making allies with them, I'll go consult the factory."
(If it's confirmed that we're not gonna make friends with Fruma, I'll go to the factory. :L)
...
Also, who's Anser? .-.

 

I'm going to save it and look around this cave or wherever the spirit put me

 

"Ooh, that's nice." I say, "Sure, what do you have to offer?"

 

Asner, Rensa spelled backwards...
Asner is the head of everything Corkian fighting, pretty much (other than Antikythera, who plays a role in it as well)

"Well, yeah sure. Go talk to an object about this. I mean, uh... it's pretty smart, it'll give you advice, heh heh."

You head to the factory. Like always, Antikythera 2.0 greets you upon you enter.

"I DID HEAR YOUR CONVERSATION WITH THAT NUT JOB. HE ALWAYS THINKS WE SUPER-SMART MACHINES ARE STUPID. ALSO, PLEASE DON'T TELL HIM--OR HER--THAT I CALLED HIM--OR HER--A NUT JOB.

"ANYWAY, YOU SPEAK TO ME ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION WITH FRUMA, HUH? YOU SEE, THE OLD VERSION OF ME--ANTIKYTHERA 1.0--WAS MANUFACTURED BY THIS HUMAN NAMED CERID. HE CLAIMED TO BE FROM FRUMA. HE ONCE TOLD ME--I MEAN THE OTHER VERSION OF ME--ABOUT HOW FRUMA ACTUALLY ORDERED HIM TO BUILD THE FACTORY AND ANTIKYTHERA TO CREATE MECHS TO DESTROY CORKUS. I MEAN, THEIR PLAN WAS GOING PRETTY WELL, UNTIL A DECADE AGO, WHEN I WAS BORN. NOW I'M NOT SO EVIL. ONLY EVIL TOWARDS FRUMA, MAYBE. WHICH IS WHY..."

Antikythera 2.0's robot self rises from the floor.

"...I SHALL JOIN YOU TO KICK THE QUEEN'S BUTT. OF COURSE, WE'D ALSO NEED A TON MORE SOLDIERS, NOT JUST ME AND YOU. I'LL ARRANGE FOR A DECENT WAR QUALITY MECH SHIPMENT, YOU GOTTA RECRUIT SOME FELLOW HUMAN SOLDIERS. SOUND GOOD? I DIDN'T MATERIALIZE FOR NOTHING."

(you know, I might create a list of cities for Fruma...)

The revenant, when it died, blew off the roof of the cave. You can safely climb out.

Healing Stew (+5 HP) - 5e
Healing Potion (+10 HP) - 10e
Healing Kit (+15 HP) - 15e

Robert has 16/25 HP and 45 AS, and 40e.

 

I'll start climbing out making sure no one gets left behind

 

"I'll buy everything."

 

(Can I hire someone who excels in close combat)

 

derp. I don't even remember that quest. xd

"Can we take control of version 1.0?"
regardless of what's said
"Do you know what province Cerid sides with now?"

________________________________

spoilers? :O

 

Your whole squad manages to exit the cave, except for Jeffrey who has a bit of trouble (he's a dog), but he also gets out of the rock as well.

To the north of you is a massive wall of rock that has a winding path around it. Perhaps it could lead back down to Aldorei?

"That's gonna be 30 emeralds, thank you very much."

Robert has 16/25 HP and 45 AS, and 10e, and has acquired the following:
Healing Stew (+5 HP)
Healing Potion (+10 HP)
Healing Kit (+15 HP)

You'd need to look around for this someone. Maybe you should go to the Temple of Legends since there are pretty skilled trainers there.

"THE OLD FLOPPY IS DOWN IN THE BASEMENT. EVEN THOUGH IT'S DISABLED COMPLETELY, I WOULDN'T SUGGEST EVEN GOING NEAR IT. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

"PERHAPS YOU WEREN'T LISTENING, TSU, OR I WAS DOING A DUMB JOB OF EXPLAINING. THE OLD CERID HAS LONG PASSED AWAY."

of course, i am an undercover worker working for the CT...

 

Okay then, I head to the temple of legends in search of skilled martial artists

 

I walk to it again carefully hopefully not getting noticed by any creatures that reside here

 

"Successors?"

 

A former assassin, who goes by the name of Choppr, invites your army to a small close-combat training session.

She speaks in a strange accent. "Hullo, Salyti. I do notice your soldiers are in... dire need of some physical martial arts lessons, if they wish to excel in combat under your command."

Do you trust her?

By the way... you ditched 80% of your army... You probably want to get them before they think you're dead.

"COME ON, HOW'M I SUPPOSED TO KNOW? ALTHOUGH MOST OF MY FILES WERE TAKEN FROM 1.0, I AM NOT 1.0."

 

Oh, though they got to me with Jeffrey and Fredrick. Then I'll regroup with them and then set out

 

*shrugs*
"Need more parts first?"

 

Yes, I do
