Launch Special Mission!
Mostly Harmful: Special Mission Falerin was killed by Seth Cay Dhows. He has returned to the world of the living... but in fragments. The fragment in control of his body has been nursed on the poison that Dhows has spewed... And the others? The other fragments have been scattered throughout the realms in which Falerin has been active. Falerin has been able to reassemble some of his fragments on his own, but with Dhows's continuing manipulations something must be done to restore Falerin fully, before Dhows can use the situation to his further advantage... Continue «Scene: Falerin's Bier. Scene then zooms in on Ardendor's head. The eyes open.» Ardendor: Oh... what's this then? Ardendor: Hmm... Ardendor: Hmmm... but what am I... hmmm... «Scene zooms out, Ardendor gets up with a lit staff. He then teleports away. When only sparks remain, a fragment of Falerin on the right remains, speaking.» Falerin: Halt playback... Falerin: I keep coming back to this event... what am I missing? Abode, halt playback. Abode: You are being metaphorical, yes? I assume you mean other than pieces of yourself... Falerin: Dude?! Of course I am being metaphorical... Golly gee Case... Abode: I am not that analog, Fal. You know that... Falerin: Analog... Hmm. If I do not get myself together, I might fragment into analogs... That MIGHT be what he wants... Falerin: He is a false analog... so perhaps he wants to make one of me too... Abode: He does seem to want to make things in his own image. They would not be false analogs though, just fragmented pieces of yourself. Abode: Artificially created, perhaps, but you yourself have done that with magic before... as have others. They are no less real... Falerin: Well, right... but artificial or natural, it would be an analog under his influence. That cannot be tolerated. I need to figure out a way to remove the problem. Falerin: Nor can we tolerate his incursions into your workings. Abode: Perhaps play both sides against the "middle"? With Dhows as the unfortunate middle? Falerin: You mean grant access to Donovan and his camp too... Abode: Why not? He is no fonder of Dhows than Cenara. Their war is not our war, whatever the cause. You granted access to Cenara as a favor; why not extend that to him? Abode: More activity in the Hall will cast greater light on his involvement... Light drives out shadow... Falerin: Yes, but shadows also depend on light, and Dhows has been known to manipulate light very well indeed. Donovan is also very... misguided in the pursuit of his goals. Still... Falerin: ... The more open the Hall is to others, the harder it becomes for Dhows to hide within. Falerin: I think you have it right. Open access to the facility makes it much harder for him, at least, so long as we stay away from his own memories. Falerin: Eventually, we will need access to those memories as well, once I figure out how to exclude him. In the meantime, though... Falerin: In the meantime, I need someone to counter his whispering in my ears. I cannot do this alone... Fortunately, I think I know just the individual to smack some sense into me... «Scene fades as the ghostly Falerin moves upward. Scene: Isle d'Oriens, outside of Falerin's Domicile.» Falerin: Thank you for coming, «You». I realize things are a bit chaotic at the moment! «You»: Whoa, Falerin! You need to give a person more warning. And yes, the countryside is crawling with strangeness. Falerin: I am well aware. Unfortunately, I am also responsible for a good deal of it. «You»: That's what Eldron said... Falerin: I really need your advice. «You»: That's somewhat flipped around. First, tell me what you know... Falerin: Okay, but it's a long story... Several hours later... «You»: What a mess. Dhows must be stopped... I see what we need to do... we need to reintegrate you before HE tries... Falerin: Hmm... indeed, that seem a good idea... but it is easier said than done. I dunno if it's even possible. «You»: Like you said. Dhows is growing a more severe problem every day... We have to try something. Falerin: ... and he continues to influence me. «You»: Hmm. Your pieces... any idea where they are? Falerin: Scattered far and wide into the many worlds where I was active. «You»: Hmm... Hmm... maybe... «You»: Hmm... Hmm... I've got it! «You»: It is like Beleqwaya, so we need to gather them like we did Bele, too. Falerin: Hmm... that IS an idea! «You»: Though your pieces are not quite like his. They're more coherent, while his seemed like mere motes of light... Falerin: Not quite like his, no. But the process is similar enough. I will send you with a stone, like the one from my staff. «You»: It appears almost transparent. Falerin: As you gather pieces it will reassemble them and return to its original state. «You»: That's the idea! So... Where do I start? Falerin: My inner child... «You»: Inner child? You have an inner child? Falerin: Doesn't everyone? It is broken into two pieces, too, I am afraid... part of it was seen near Battleon, and the other is with my older pieces off-world, somewhere... «You»: Okay then... Falerin: And «You»... «You»: Yes? Falerin: Be careful... «You»: Careful? Of what? Of you? Why would you be a threat? Falerin: I was not the nicest as a younger man. I am the Caelestian god of evil for a reason... There is no telling how you might find me. «You»: Right, well I am off. See you in a bit. Falerin: Wait! There is... *sigh* Headstrong... Abode: I have heard that one about «You» before... Falerin: Aye, but there is something else I needed to tell «You». *sigh* Abode: And what is that? Falerin: My physical body does not appear to be on Lore anymore, either. «Scene fades. Ardendor and the Mysterious Stranger stand on a teleportation device on the Starship Centerprise.» Ardendor: Oops, this is not the world we were trying for. Why can't you do this yourself again? Dhows: I trapped a part of myself there purposefully already. This interferes with my ability to home in on it cleanly, as I already exist there. Besides, flecks remain near my prison. Ardendor: That's kind of weird dude. Locking up parts of yourself. Are you a lich or something? Dhows: No no, no-thing, nothing, at all like a Lich. We can discuss the particularities of my nonbeing being later, Ardendor. Ardendor: Right. So... Let's see... Ardendor: Uh... Ardendor: Something is interfering with my teleportation... Dhows: You are a deity. Do not be absurd. Quit fooling and teleport us! Dhows: I apologize, dove. There IS some powerful force moving this way... I can sense it. Ardendor: Yes. It's very strong. ... WAIT. "I"? You used an "I" statement!!! Ardendor: See, I TOLD you you had self identity! Ardendor: Now we just need to work on... Ardendor: Uh oh... Ardendor: It's heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere... «E appears.» E: E, I finally have you, you renegade. You will be coming with me. Captain Turk: (on intercom) Slock, report to to Transporter room. We are detecting strangely high levels of "E"-lemental energy. Ardendor: ... E? E: Questions later. You come, Now! «E raises a hand and teleports himself and Ardendor away as Slock enters.» Dhows: Well, well, well... Dhows: This could make the game a bit more interesting... Mr. Slock: Interesting? Hey! That's my line! Just who are you, sir? Dhows: You can call me Ving. Captain Turk: (interrupting on intercom) What's going on, Slock? Mr. Slock: No, that's WHO, not what, Captain. Sensors say WHAT he is. He is a transelemental-transdimensional-shadow. Who is what is unknown. Mr. Slock: Ving? What sort of name for a shadow is Ving? Dhows: Well, it's Justel Ving, actually. Justel E. Ving, and that's my cue... Dhows: Definitely more interesting... «Dhows suddenly disappears.» Mr. Slock: Whoever that odd shadow was, he was not the source of the "E"-lemental energy, Captain. All traces are gone. «Scene fades. Scene: Battleon, where there is a bizarrely twisted version of Blackhawke.» «You»: Uh... hey... Er, Blackhawke... Do I even want to know what happened to you? And... you haven't seen a ghostly version of Falerin about here have you? Blackhawke: Falerin? Falerin?!? That crazy Caelestian IS what happened to me! I was minding my own business being my pleasant, kind, and unassuming self and he just went berserk. «You»: Hmm... that seems odd. Blackhawke: He went toward Aria's shop... "to play with the pets," he said. Be careful, he's absolutely nuts. «Scene: Aria's shop, where there is a much younger version (the hair is darker) of Falerin.» «You»: Hey, Aria. Is everything all right? Aria: Of course. Better than alright. «You»: Listen, Falerin. Fal: Call me Fal. «You»: Er... right... Aria: Is something wrong? «You»: It's just that... Blackhawke said Fal here had gone crazy. Fal: He said I went crazy? Ooh... that Blackhawke really burns me up. «You»: Well Falerin, why did you attack Blackhawke and then attach his head upside down? That wasn't very nice. Aria: He didn't attack him... he ran into him. Hans, Falerin, and I were playing Ghost Tag. Fal: I was the ghost. «You»: Naturally. Fal: But he interrupted our game of Tag to chase us out of the inn, and then... oooh... Fal: I am NOT crazy! He's just a grump... and he NEVER smiles. So I decided to turn his frown upside down. Now he ONLY smiles! «You»: A ha haha. Ha... well, you need to fix it anyway... you can't just reattach body parts as you see fit. Fal: Well... I guess not... «You»: Fal, I'm afraid that's not all I'm here for. You sent me here, actually... Fal: To gather up my pieces... «You»: That's right. Fal: Darn! Well, this is important, Aria... I better go. Thanks for playing with me and letting me hang out. Aria: Sure thing... Fal: Maybe I can come back some time and help... once I am more together. Aria: I would like that. «You»: Everything else alright, Aria? You seem distracted. Aria: Well, Falerin has been a real help around here. He even helped me muck out the stalls! It's just that... Fal: I love animals. They're SO much easier to understand than people. Aria: I know exactly what you mean... that's it exactly. *Sigh* It's Hans... I don't even know if he really likes me. He hasn't asked me out on another date, and it's been a long time! Fal: He does like you! I keep telling you! You need to ask him out again yourself rather than wait for him! «You»: I agree with Fal. Hans is a nice kid, but he is just a boy... and a nervous one at that. Aria: *sigh* You're probably right. Fal: We are right. ... I know! We can help... We will do something nice for you for Hans and give you a chance to ask him! «You»: Uh... we don't really have time for... Fal: You want me to get into that stone, come along, and help you to find my next piece, don't you? «You»: Yes, and to fix Blackhawke. Fal: Then we find the time to help. «You»: This is so turned on its head. First, Falerin is depending on me to give him advice... «You»: And next I am trying to fix Aria up with Hans. «You»: Well, where can I start? Aria: Yulgar asked him to deal with the BURP problem in the inn. Hans has been so busy with the WarpForce and things he hasn't had time to start. Aria: Maybe you could cut the problem down a bit. Aria: You can do that, right? Fal: Sure we can! Just call us the Caked Tubers of Porclen. «You»: You mean the Pied Piper of Hamlin? Fal: Of course not! If I had meant that crook, I would have said it! He ran off with all the gold, and the children! We're here to help Aria, not get her arrested for abduction! Fal: Hey, wait a sec... that's a Terran story. How do you know about it, anyway... «You»: Uh, probably something strange YOU said... plus we dealt with that Pied Burper before, too... Fal: Hmm... Probably, Lore is full of strange echoes, and Old Me is a real equilateral rectangle... Totally square! How did I ever grow up to be him, anyway... Let's go! «Scene: Yulgar's Inn» Fal: You have incoming... and he looks quite hungry. You handle that, I will get these other ones... 1 BATTLE: Starved BURP Full Heal «You»: That was strangely easy... Fal: They really like you. It must be all of the cheesy puns you have been exposed to! 1 BATTLE: Pied Burper Full Heal Fal: Otra vez! Fal: I have put down thirty. How many have you gotten? «You»: Eww, you have BURP guts on your shoe. Uh... just the three... but they were a big three. Fal: That should be good enough. Let's get back to Aria. «Scene: Aria's shop» Fal: That should lessen the inn's rodent infestation for a while. Fal: I wonder the health department hasn't shut Yulgar down! ... Hey, you've changed... Aria: Nothing get's by you, Fal. And, you were so right!! Aria: While you were at the Inn, Hans stopped by, and I asked him. Aria: He's gotten Pra'Mithia's permission to take me on a cruise on the Alteon next week! And we are going to go for a picnic later today! «You»: We told you so! And now with the rodent problem done, he has time for all that. Fal: Send my regards to Galrick if you see him there. Fal: Well then I guess you need to get my act "together" eh? One fragment down... «Fal shrinks and flies into the gem.» «You»: Wait, Fal! How am I supposed to fi... ««You» disappear.» «You»: Whoa... what in the world... Aria: Hello? Hello? Where have you gone? Aria: I can hear you still, but I can't see you. «You»: I think I am being transported someh-- «Scene flashes and «You» appear in Regeirk's world, outside of the destroyed Guardian Tower that houses the last Bizarre Fleck.» «You»: Where am I? This looks an awful lot like Xitra Regeirk's world, but it couldn't be... could it? ???: Look... up in the sky! ???: It's a bird! ???: It's a plane! ???: No... it's... «Super-strong Ultra Mega Falerin Man™ falls from the sky.» ???: Super-strong Ultra Mega Falerin Man™! ???: Together with his faithful sidekick, «You», Super-strong Ultra Mega Falerin Man™ will thwart evil, and fight! For great justice! Falerin: Hi there, «You». I hear you seek my inner child. I can help! Last time I saw him he was at home. Falerin: Oh, and this is the world you mentioned... something's brewing here... but I do not know what... that freaky priest has something to do with it though. «You»: That's a good one buddy. I don't know who you are, but if you're going to pretend to be Falerin you really want to do your homework better... Falerin?: Darn... you can see right through me. What gave it away? «You»: First of all, your hair is the right color but the wrong shade. Your fashion sense is too "warrior chic" for Falerin's more rarefied tastes. Your muscles are way too big... «You»: But your biggest problem is your ears. Falerin?: Ears? «You»: You're human! Falerin: So? The old man would be too, except he gave into his vanity... He had himself recreated as an elf, you know. He was never born that way. Falerin: Which is to say he was ALWAYS born that way, because our second creation god actually remade him as an elf. Falerin: But my parents were human. «You»: Uh... sure... Falerin: He denies it... but my theory is he patterned himself after Eldron the Good. You have noticed how similar they are, haven't you? Falerin: Of course Eldron is the younger... so maybe what I actually copied was myself... copying Eldron... «You»: Riiiight... well, with talk like that I have no choice but to believe you are Falerin. Falerin: That's a relief, since I AM him. There's a lot more to me than musty old books and singing spells. Now then. Inner child... home... «You»: What? The Abode? Why take me off my Lore entirely to get there? Falerin: Don't be silly. I did not live in the Abode when I was a child. Falerin: My parents could not afford that sort of luxury. Falerin: Now let me get in that stone and set you on the right track. «Scene: A Caelestian house.» ???: And so the Dashing and Debonair James Frond, a master of disguise, saves the forest once again with the help of Miss Cashnichol and Agent Emen... *BANG * ???: ... Hey... Who's in my room... «You»: *sigh* A little warning would be nice, Muscles... and so would not landing in a bedroom closet full of toys. «You»: I think I sat on a top... ouch... Fal? Fal? *sigh* And I'm alone again... ««You» walk in.» «You»: Hey, kid... you haven't seen any grown ups around here, have you? ???: ... «You»: So what... are you ignoring me? Hasn't any one ever told you to respect your elders? ???: No... but they taught me if I do not have anything nice to say I should remain silent. «You»: ... What exactly is that supposed to mean? ???: They also told me not to talk to strangers. ???: Given your popping into my closet, and having a conversation with yourself, I can tell you are DEFINITELY stranger than me. «You»: Hey, that's not very nice... «You»: What kind of place is this anyway? «You»: ... and what's with your outfit? Do all kids dress like that on Caelestia? ???: Er... No! I'm in costume! Duh... I'm James Frond... Double Oh Eleven... Silly! And I'M weird? I'm not the one popping into kd's closets and sitting on their toys. «You»: Er... you have a point. So, look. About this adult... ???: ... There are no adults here, there never are... they are always too busy for me... «You»: Well, this isn't exactly a normal adult I'm looking for. He's more of a ghost... ???: ... «You»: Ah, that got your attention! ???: You are looking for Falerin. «You»: Yes! Have you seen him? ???: Nope. Never heard of him. «You»: Come on kid, I don't have time to be funny. This is serious. Have you seen Falerin? ???: You're just another adult with no time for me too, then... I knew it. As to seeing him... Hmm... maybeeee... «You»: Please... ???: Yeah. I've seen him. I even know where he went. «You»: Where is he? Tell me! ???: Hehehe, no!! «You»: No? ???: First you must play with me. «You»: I really don't have time for this, kid. I need to find Falerin quickly. It's really important. ???: No play... no Falerin. «You»: *sigh* I guess I don't have a choice. So you're playing James Frond? Who's that? ???: Nah... I'm tired of that game. You can be a hero now. See, I changed costumes? I will be the diabolical beastmaster... you can be the hero. «Kid Falerin changes into a suit similar to his Loremaster suit.» ???: See, I changed costumes? I will be the diabolical beastmaster... you can be the hero. ???: If you can defeat my toys... I will tell you what you want to know. 1 BATTLE: Pied Burper 1 BATTLE: Toy Chest Full Heal 1 BATTLE: Cymbal Monkey 1 BATTLE: NPC-in-a-Box Full Heal 1 BATTLE: Blockman 1 BATTLE: Nightmare King Full Heal «You»: Ok, enough play. Tell me where I can find Falerin. ???: No. «You»: You said you'd tell me if I played with you! ???: I lied. «You»: Why you little... «You»: ... «You»: That outfit! I didn't notice earlier - I was too busy with your toys. You think you're so clever, don't you... Falerin... Falerin: Teehee... «Kid Falerin shrinks (even more) and flies into the gem. Scene: Forest in which three Falerins stand, conversing» ??? (Left): So I was like, if you're gonna be that way I'll just take my money and leave... ??? (Right): I bet that got their attention... ??? (Center): That might have repercussions, y'know... I really think that... ??? (Left): Totally did. That will show them to disrespect me. ««You» appear suddenly.» «You»: I REALLY WISH YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT! «You»: Yo ho, what have we here? «You»: Hello there young fellow... can you point me toward the home of Falerin? ??? (Left): Falerin? «You»: Yes. Do you know him? ??? (Left): We know him. ??? (Right): Just don't get why anyone would want to find him. ??? (Left): He isn't at home, anyway. «You»: Do you know where he may be? ??? (Right): Here... there... ??? (Left): Everywhere... *laughs* «You»: Can you give me a hint? ???: Well... you could always try the caves... heheh... «You»: Right... thanks for your "help." ??? (Right): That ought to keep him occupied for hours. ??? (Center): That's not very nice, you know. He asked nicely for assistance, and... ??? (Left): If that tool makes it out at all... teehehe. «Scene fades. Scene: Caves.» «You»: I hate caves. Caves usually mean trouble, and I--! 1 BATTLE Full Heal 1 BATTLE Full Heal «You»: Well, no sign of Falerin here... I, for one, am totally shocked by this turn of events. «Scene: The forest from before» «You»: He wasn't there, but... somehow I think you knew that. ??? (Left): *snicker* ??? (Right): *giggle* «You»: I like practical jokes as much as the next guy, but I'm really busy right now, and I MUST find... «You»: Practical jokes... wait a minute... «You»: One of the three of you IS Falerin, is that it? ??? (Right): I dunno... ??? (Left): Is it? *snorts* ??? (Right): Something like that, I guess. Which Falerin is the Correct One? Left Falerin Center Falerin Right Falerin If you choose the wrong one: Oops! That wasn't it! Before your eyes the false Falerin morphs into some random monsters and attacks! - Fight the Fakerin
1 BATTLE Full Heal 1 BATTLE Full Heal spoiler:
The correct Falerin is the one in the center. If you choose the correct one: ???: So you found me. How did you know? «You»: You were not like the others. ???: We were almost identical copies. «You»: Almost, but not exact. «You»: Your hair color is slightly different. The copies played their games and pranks nicely together. They ignored you. ???: *Sigh* That's the story of my life. ???: So now what? «You»: Now we move on. ???: Very well. «You»: First, I just need to know... «Falerin fades.» «You»: ... Seriously?! Now what do I do? ... «Scene fades. «You» are left in gray surroundings.» «You»: Yeah... we move on, except... I have no guidance at all this time, and I'm not even sure WHAT WORLD I'm on. «You»: ... Seriously?! Now what? ???: You seek the Arden Door? Pity... ???: You seemed like a nice person... ???: Looks can be deceiving, though. «You»: Who's there? «Scene: Falerin in a garden.» «You»: Lanfiré Dupre? What are you doing here? Falerin: Not exactly. Falerin: I just look like him, but that would be obvious, if you had an ounce of sense. My identity should likewise be obvious... Falerin: Of course... you are running through the universe after my fragments, collecting them... Falerin: Which, I think we both know, proves you have none. Well, enough chatter... time to get in your stone... Falerin: Well off to your just desserts. Good luck with my next fragment... you will need it. «You»: And here Eldron said Lanfiré didn't generally act like a horse's rear end... I'm beginning to doubt his assessment. «Falerin shrinks and enters the stone. Scene: Red cave.» «You»: ... Great, another cave. Why did it have to be another cave? And such an oddly colored and dimly lit one, at that? «You»: Everything is awash in that odd glow... «Red glow disappears.» «You»: Okay, so the glow is gone... but now what? «You»: Watch your step, «You». This doesn't look too good. «You»: Oh, now THIS is lovely! Talk about split personalities... now I'm talking to myself. 1 BATTLE Full Heal 1 BATTLE Full Heal 1 BATTLE Full Heal 1 BATTLE Full Heal You can now choose to go left or to go right. If you go left: 1 BATTLE Full Heal 1 BATTLE Full Heal 1 BATTLE Full Heal 1 BATTLE Full Heal You are then returned to the previous cave. If you go right: Ghost Knight: Halt in the name of the Queen! The Lady is seeing no visitors. You shall not pass. «You»: It just keeps getting better. Look, I don't know anything about a Lady. I don't mean to trespass or anything - I'm lost. I'm just looking for Falerin. Ghost Knight: Nonetheless, you shall not pass. «You»: Look, I'm not interested in a fight. I just need to get out of here... Ghost Knight: Unfortunately, a fight is what you will get if you proceed. As guardian of these halls, I will not let you pass. Go Back (Proceeds as if you had chosen to go left before) Fight Ghost Knight: You have bested me. Very well. You may pass and see the Lady. But be forewarned... you may wish you had not. «Scene: A hall with blue walls, where there is a gigantic white spider.» «You»: Whoa, aren't you the ugly one. Quite a spider... Never seen one with eyes like that either. Some of them look downright human. So... wonder where this Lady is at. Spider: You're not sssssso sssspecial your sssself... Chossssen of Lore... Why do you tressssssspassss... «You»: You speak Lorian! Are you the Lady that the Knight spoke of? Lady: I am the Lady, and I speak very many languagessssssss... but now it is you who are ssssssspeaking ssssspider. «You»: Wait... what? I don't know how to speak spider... Lady: It amusessssss usssss to enable our prey to sssssspeak. All who venture here are granted that boon... «You»: Prey... So let me guess... I'm prey too, and you're going to try to eat me, right? Lady: You, Chossssssen of Lore? I would not invoke the consssssequencessss. Besidessssss... Lady: I think you would make a poor ssssoup for me. «You»: Well then, since what I'm looking for is obviously not here, I'll be going then. Lady: Are you sssso sssure? «You»: To tell you the truth, no. The gem did bring me here. Lady: Gem?! Sssshow me your gem! Lady: Ah, the decahedronsssss... I knowssss thessssse gemssssss... Lady: Oh ssso precioussssssss. Lady: I knowssss what you sssseek! «You»: You do? You must give it to me! Lady: Musssst I? And what do you offer for it? «You»: What do you want?

Lady: Thisssss issss my sssspecial child which you ssseek. «You»: I think we have a communication problem. Lady: We thinksssss not... our obligationsss are fulfilled. «The small spider turns into Falerin and then flies into the gem.» «You»: This gets stranger by the minute... Several hours later... «Scene: Darkovia» «You»: It took at least an hour to find my way out of that cave. «You»: And I have been wandering this strange forest for hours too... the sun was up when I arrived... «You»: This place is almost like Darkovia. If I didn't know better, I could mistake it... but even the trees are strange here... «Two Orcs enter.» Orc Magus: The trees are indeed odd here, offworlder. You wander in Immertot. Even the trees reek of undeath. «You»: How lovely... so how do I get out? Orc Magus: One cannot simply leave Immertot. One merely hopes to survive it until an opportunity for egress arrives. Orc Commander: Enough talk. Intruder! You will either come with us as a prisoner or I will kill you and you will join the teeming undead. «The decahedron grows and spins out of your pocket.» «You»: Whoa... how did that get out of my pocket... and grow so big... Orc Magus: Commander... that be... Orc Commander: It be one of his... Orc Commander: Be it one of his? This one looks like no priest. Orc Magus: Nor do we. Oft they don't. Regardless, it is one of his... Orc Commander: We must run! Stone: Do you really think you can run from me? ... «The stone turns into a ghostly Falerin, who strikes the Commander with a spell.» Falerin: You cannot... Falerin: Nay, you cannot, and for your abject cowardice I strip you of your service to me and return you to the horrible death from whence you were saved. Orc Commander: Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Orc Magus: My lord! Falerin: Your lord, indeed. Do you attack my friend? Falerin: Are you done with your service, then? ... Did you perhaps give into the rumor that I was gone? Or, think I had forgotten... Falerin: I forget nothing. Need I remind you who your patron is, and why you serve... like I just reminded your fellow cleric quite permanently. Orc Magus: My lord! Falerin: Well now... you do... run along. «The Magus leaves and Falerin turns to look at «You».» Falerin: «You», I am glad I found you. Immertot is no place for casual wandering... «You»: So I gathered. Undead trees? Falerin: Even the microorganisms here are undead... it pervades all things. «You»: Has something else happened? Falerin: I tried to tell you before you left, it appears my body has gone missing, too... had we acted sooner I could have just forced the stone to combine with the staff my duplicate carries. Falerin: Now we must instead try tracking them... we must return to Lore and start, if it is not already too late. Falerin: First, however, I have in tracking you managed to locate a mysterious floating city that transcends the boundaries of realities. Falerin: Here now... I have the stone and my other pieces... «Falerin becomes more corporeal.» Falerin: Dude, you rock! I can corporealize fully now... but if my other body and I remained segmented, he will become an analog. Still, this does by us some time. Falerin: Finding him may take a while. Let's stop in the store of that floating city. They may have something of use in your effort.
