It was very very dark around Poor lost Rose.

This of course is not a strange thing for an adventurer or miner. Unfortunately Rose is neither a miner or an adventurer.

Not that being stuck in a dark place of which you know not is good for adventures or miners. Of course none of this is a problem for beings that see in the dark. Pity Rose isn't one of them either.

It's even worse considering the hole Rose fell through sealed itself. Far far worse is the fact Rose is of the race of Conemen, the smallest race in Elcon. They don't even have arms. Just a miserably weak telekinetic power.

Oh dear! Rose was at this stage quite frightened, whatever will Rose do?

Rose feels around with Telekinesis. Can't feel very far... Thought there appears to be some large slimy pointed things behind Rose. Rose is sure those weren't there before.

The Tip of Rose's head/body feels warm. Wind?

Rose feels a feeling of dread.
Oh Dear!

Oh Dear! Rose didn't panic! Not that is good defense against getting eaten! Rose did call out but there wasn't anyone to hear. Who knows maybe the monster was lost and Hungry?

Maybe in the future you'll avoid waiting calmly to be eaten!

Go back to before Rose died?

Rose shudders at the thought of the nasty monsters that may hypothetically live in this darkness.

A hot wind blast's Rose's tip.
Somehow Rose feels like this has happened before, which of course is silly.

how weak exactly is your telekinesis? can you "stab" with it in point blank range?
I have a feeling that the "hot thing" is the breath of a monster.

And I just realized, conemen don't have arms, but they do have legs... so you can walk... mmm, I take it you cannot lift yourself up with your telekinesis, right?

Rose feels around.
There seems to a, rope like thing... but that is just what it feels like to Rose
The wall to Rose's right goes up farther than Rose's telekinetic reach.

Rose considers going left, back the ways...
There is shuffling sounds coming from far away...

Rose could probably climb the possibly-a-rope.

Well as it turned out there was no monster.

It's only eyeweed, though it is kinda bright, usually it kinda dully glows... rather than blindingly shine...

Rose is mildly unnerved by it and would prefer not to look directly at it for obvious reasons.

>>308653
Somebody spotted the closed eyeweed and thought it was a monster(not unreasonable assumption),he also suggested running straight forwards...If you as Rose to, a telekenetic map can be made of the area within reach, though in this case it's bright enough to see now

to archive a thread, report the "chapter end" post with the reason listed as "COMPLETED QUEST". A mod will see it and archive the quest.

>Who will you follow
1. Don't actually request archiving until we decide.
2. Are we going to end up following all 4 of them eventually and we are just choosing the order now? Or will we only get to chose one or some of them and the rest will not exist in the story?

Ok, well on the number one point, I didn't actually send the request until after I had started the new thread. Still I probably should have only called it closed(in post) after people had made their choice.

On that note, the choice was made, there only appears to be two votes, but when I made it there were three.

OH dear! EX!

Anyway on the point of order, after you reach a checkpoint with Crimson Bang, you'll have the choice to switch to another creature or return to Rose. All will exist in the story. For the most part I'll be trying to make it possible to timewarp back(or forward) to the start with all of them.

I'll leave you to figure out when events happen in the timeline. You could thoerically bounce between Bang and Rose, if a thing like that happens, the others will move without player control.
