Man, nothing is more irritating than having to borderline cheat in a game in order to get back equipment that got destroyed by a shitty bug.

Elder Thing(ish) statues, PW? That's ... interesting.

Retroactive good luck on your finals, by the by.

Return to Xan briefly.

"Say, good chap, I see there's fire pit out there by the campsite! Try setting a fire there, will you? And make it last! Maybe leave a message as well, eh?"

"I will take that as a suggestion instead of the command it was phrased as. Do watch your tongue in the future."

Fire pit? Perfect opportunity to test out my fire powers!
Stand well back before I begin.

"Things are looking up for ol' Jack! Excellent, excellent.

Say, guardswomen, how's the looting and pillaging or what-have-you of this place going? And where can I find the queen from here? I'm in a mood to get out and accomplish something. Probably involving violence."

Get info from nearby guardswomen! Regardless of their answer, head back inside momentarily - I want to try to store the bed I slept in inside my well-given storage space. It probably won't work, but best to try.

Then, if I've been given directions to the queen, go head in her direction.

Why not build a small altar underneath the temple. They could paint maze like lines  on the floor. A moch shrine, we will replace this one later on with a proper temple. Having a small powerroom though is especially useful when surprise attacks or such happen to us...

Actually yeah this sounds good.

Why not have the village as it is seem rather ordinary and not visibly corrupted by our presence to go with the theme of the New Way proposal and building our evil maze-temple underneath the place? It'll fit with the whole 'insidious evil' thing we have going.

Demonhood's back?! Holy hot diggity dang damn shittery shiver me timbers I'm gonna be watching this. Participating too.
Hmm. I see there's discussion of Nokluvgn's theme, eh? Well, I think I have some ideas in line with what's already going on.

Noklugvn is the subversion of things you thought were once normal. He is you coming home to your house to find it distorted and bloodied, the dimensions of rooms warped and strangely elongated, of fingers wriggling only in your peripheral vision. Fingers cover everything, replacing doorknobs, what food you have, even your cutlery is merely fingers on sticks. The fingers are not normal either, that would be too generous - some are enormously elongated and bladed, sinuously waving like deadly seagrass, others have strange bony spikes forming out of the skin - always two at first near the nail, which is pointed so as to form a cross-like shape.

The dreams begin slowly, but as they progress a villager will begin to see them bleed through into their life. Where did all these knives come from? Are his own fingers becoming distorted? Why can he no longer find his way inside his own home? What are those things grasping at the corners of his eyes?

Apologies for going on and on and on, but you get the essential idea, yes? Strange dreams that start with one's surroundings being a little distorted, but as the dreams go on they get more and more demented and fingers, knives, and mazes start featuring more and more heavily in them, and then eventually they start seeing this stuff in real life, eventually turning to worship us.

This strongly smells of one of those projects that'll end up actually summoning ancient evils in the design of its construction if he stays sane long enough to complete it.

Well, luck to him.

Oh deary, I'll have to give this a shot.
