So you two don't work alone all the time? That surprises me.

@Artifact

Just most of the time. We help people out independently of our own volition, and very occasionally, we ask for help ourselves. In oarticular when dealing with unknowns… Been a lot of those lately.

If anything, yes. To that effect, is Chickpea still with us? I haven't heard much from her since we left its domain.

@Artifact

She is. Mostly helping our eyes in the sky follow around at the moment.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Agreed. If that were the case, there must be limits given that we're currently alive.

@Artifact

Contact based like the gold dragon, maybe.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I doubt it. That would match the theme it's chosen, but that's about it.

@Artifact

Doubt isn’t definitive denial. We should be cautious. If caution makes this quick, then so be it.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I'm not impressed by the stench of death. But unless it can kill us instantly, it makes for simple combat.

@Artifact

You mention that because it’s a possibility?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Grimaces*
Disgusting creatures.
*Kneels down to tear a blade of grass, and it crumbles under my touch*

@Artifact

I suppose this thing will be a walking corpse itself. Not too out of character.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

We hope, at least.
*When the gas dissipates, we stand at the base of a massive bone pile, surrounded by freshly-decaying grass and shrubs with remnants of noxious berries and the rotting corpses of their animal victims*

@Artifact

*Plugs my nose with two fingers and speaks in half jest*
Guess you can’t expect a guy to clean up after himself?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I don't suppose we'll know until we get there. With any luck, we're not still in its illusion.
*Fills the region with red mist*

@Artifact

We’ll find out I suppose.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Easy prey, the bone dragon.

@Artifact

Nothing as potentially overwhelming as the illusions here, yeah?

Myriad Reality

...
*Smiles at the comment*
Never change, okay? Who knows where I'd be if someone else had challenged me back then?
*Rolls up the map and puts it away*

@Artifact

*Chuckles*
You’d have cleaned house. We tackling a third one?
