[ well luckily the alarms are blaring so much that it doesn't matter if he swears loudly!!! ]

On it.

[ summoning as big a wave as he can muster to throw at the room and quench that fire ]

[ cursing in Greek, Kevin moves to run forward towards that room now ]

[welp]

Got it.

[he'll help Charon carry the guy if he can, but otherwise booking it to the next room up]

[ Suiting back up to follow the group out ]

[As all the the wolves are dead, they get to the top-left room with zero problem! It does require ID access though, but so long as they run the ID through the card reader, the can enter easily!

.......into a breakroom! Which is connected to a larger room on the other side. It looks like this worker doesn't have access to THAT one, but they can see through the large window what's on the other side.

It's some sort of factory line, or was, anyway. There's another exit in the closed off room, as demonstrated as they may catch the literal tail end of wolves leaving said room, probably because of the loud blaring alarm.

But that aside, the assembly line looks as if they were creating...masks. there's a few still on the factory belt they can see through the glass window, made from melding holy artifacts together. Given how few there are and the tools around (a welding torch, tongs, some other bullshit, it looks like they take GREAT care to not touch the artifacts directly until the mask is complete), it looks like it takes a lot of effort to create even one mask. . .

in the breakroom itself, there's a vending machine! Hm hm. There are some chips and snacks there--'Scister Chips, Deer Jerky, Pygmy Pops'--stuff like that. There's also a leftover sheet of paper on the break table. Most of it isn't legible, with a lot being scribbled out or being in the Wolf language they can't read, but at least one part is in sheep-ish: "Stock low! Negotiate?? Too many victims."

What do.]

Victims of the Wolf King's corruption...?

Someone take that paper and let's get those masks and tools -- with caution, I don't want to fire their whole assembly line.

[is there another riddle pad into the factory or what. he's not dialing it instantly, just checking]

Can I break down the door?

[ he'll fold the paper and stick it in his pocket, since he'll be able to keep it dry in case of any other water-related mishaps ]

Could break the window if that's easier.

Let's avoid breaking windows or doors if it'll set off another alarm we have to deal with. Should we take all of the masks with us if we can? It feels like bad form to take them all if they're using them to avoid being corrupted, but it would also keep them off our tails for a bit.

[ Going to look through the window to see if he can spot where the wolves are escaping to ]

If we do have to break this, we should check out the last room first.

[there's no riddle to get into the working area, you just need access. or violence i guess. It's thick glass for safety but like. lol Lily.

though as noted there's only a few masks that were hastily left on the assembly line--two whole ones, and one just half formed, mostly made from deer crystal. Looks like they gathered as much as they could before fleeing. ]

...I think Ananke's right. Maybe we should come back after the last room.

...

All right. But. After that I wanna break something so bad.

What happened to stealth...

I'd like to check out the last room more than I need to grab a few masks, if we're picking and choosing.

Stealth went out the window when we blew up the file room. We've just gotta keep going forward.

Mm. If there's instructions or a facility map in there that's even more valuable than the masks, but...we can just talk to the Holy Beasts, in the end.

[he misses their ghosts SO BAD. but they have the materials anyway and can just. talk to the Holy Beasts.]

Let's check the final room first and break into this one on the way out. Kevin, you may also break the vending machine if you like.

[TO THE FINAL ROOM AND--oh, huh. The door is locked. It seems like a normal key-locked door, but it also feels like.....stuff has been piled on the other side of the door, as if trying to make sure it stays closed.

If Scarab's scanners are going, they will actually pick up a LOT of bodies on the other side, most running away. . .evacuating?]

[steals a look at everyone]

Well? Are we breaking it down or going another route? I'm open to alternatives. If we tell them it's a false alarm they might open the door for us.

And if they do open the door, Kevin and Lethe and I especially could be like. You know. "Hello, fellow wolves." [...] "We come in peace."

[argh argh argh]

It doesn't serve us to break into a space where we're outnumbered.

Scarab, Ananke, go back to the microphone room and use this dead wolf's voice. Tell them it was a false alarm. Refugees looking for a priest, not the Wolf King.

--take the corpse with you, if they open the door it will give us away.

Edited 2024-06-24 00:47 (UTC)

Or I could animate it.

[ looks at the time-blorted corpse.

Looks at Kevin.

Looks back at the corpse.]

I don't think anyone's gonna believe he's okay if you do. I'll just...take him...

[ Scoops it up and heads off to the security room to use the mic again.

Once in the security room he looks around to see if he can disable the alarms from here at all, but whether he can or not he flips the mic to broadcast to the 777 room, and Scarab surfaces to handle modifying his voice to match the dead guard's ]

False alarm!! It's not the wolf king! It's just some refugees that broke in looking for—a priest?

. . .

. . .

. . .

[a two way radio in the wolf's back pocket suddenly crackles to life]

Hey, [CENSORED], is that you? What's going on? The filing room has been incinerated!

[ Oh man, is he going to go to hell for impersonating a dead guy?? Oh well!

Grabs the radio to respond and reaches out across Lethe's teacher skill to update the group on this new development ]

I know! One of them tried to get into it to find info on a priest, but they couldn't guess the password and the security system kicked in.

Edited 2024-06-24 01:06 (UTC)

[oh thank goodness Scaranke have got the radio with them

MENTAL THUMBS UP YOU'RE DOING GREAT]
