Yukari Quest II - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

>Oh okay, there were some more halls upstairs right?
>Explore them.

>There were two other halls, which would be located above the ones on the ground floor.
>Making your way upstairs, you look through them. There are three rooms in each hall, along the outer wall of the shrine, each almost devoid of furniture save for a some small tables and chests. Judging from the positioning of everything, you assume they are likely shared bedrooms; save for one in the corner, which only has one table and one chest , and a trapdoor in the ceiling. As you look around, you see no sign of the sigil.

[Yaersulf]

>Are there means of ascending through the trapdoor, such as a ladder?
>If not attempt flight once more.

[Hello Purvis]

>Are there means of ascending through the trapdoor, such as a ladder?
>If not attempt flight once more.

>You have not seen any ladders.
>You try to fly, and fail once more.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Can we reach the trapdoor?

[Hello Purvis]

>Can we reach the trapdoor?

>You cannot each it from the ground.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Are the table and chest tall enough that we could reach the trap door if we stacked then and stood on top?

[Hello Purvis]

> Are the table and chest tall enough that we could reach the trap door if we stacked then and stood on top?

>You don't think the chest would hold your weight, but otherwise yes.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What about if we dragged several tables together from other rooms?

[Hello Purvis]

> What about if we dragged several tables together from other rooms?

>That should be feasible.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Let's do just that, then! Stack tables from various rooms together in this room until the trap door is within reach.

[Hello Purvis]

> Let's do just that, then! Stack tables from various rooms together in this room until the trap door is within reach.

>You end up having to carry in two more tables and stack them on top of each other before you can reach the trap door comfortably enough to open it, look through it, and pull yourself inside if you so desire. As an afterthought, you bring in another to serve as a step stool.
>Climbing into the stack of tables, doing your best not to shift any of them with sudden movements, you open the trap door and look through. The first thing you notice is a faint light glowing in the middle of what is otherwise empty and spacious attic that seems to run along the whole structure, save for the devotional room.  As far as you can see, there is nothing stored up here, save for the source of the light, with is a small...something. You can't quite tell what it is from here, it is some yards away. The source of the light is quite tiny, you imagine it can't be larger than a coin.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Any gaps up here?
> Climb our full self into the attic and make our way to the source of that light. Mayhaps it is related to the sigil.

[Hello Purvis]

> Any gaps up here?
> Climb our full self into the attic and make our way to the source of that light. Mayhaps it is related to the sigil.

>You do not sense any gaps in the attic. It's possible that some are hiding in the corners, but you don't think so.
>Pulling yourself up into the attic, you make your way toward the light. You quickly begin to sense a faint but definite feeling of potential from it, which grows exponentially stronger as you walk closer to it. Soon, you are standing over a small, colorless disk of Materia Prima, no larger than your thumbnail. It's so tiny could probably couldn't feel it through the wooden ceiling below.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Get it get it get it get it get it!
> Could we combine it with our existing piece?

[Yaersulf]

>More importantly, could we seperate it from our existing piece if we combined them together?

[Hello Purvis]

> Get it get it get it get it get it!
> Could we combine it with our existing piece?

>You obtain: Piece of Materia Prima (Miniscule)
>You are not certain, you've never really had the opportunity to handle it until today.

>More importantly, could we seperate it from our existing piece if we combined them together?

>You are no more sure of this, but you feel it probably wouldn't be the case; the piece you found earlier did not strike you as particularly divisible.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Don't attempt such yet then, we may need this for the sigil or somesuch.
>Store it in a gap similar to the one that the other Materia Prima is stored in, but separate.

[Hello Purvis]

>Don't attempt such yet then, we may need this for the sigil or somesuch.
>Store it in a gap similar to the one that the other Materia Prima is stored in, but separate.

>You create a small gap to store away the bit of Materia Prima, and leave the attic without any light. Not that this is a problem for you, of course.

[Yaersulf]

>Youkai master race super vision powers!
>Head back down to the basement and see if we can find the sigil again.

[Hello Purvis]

>Youkai master race super vision powers!
>Head back down to the basement and see if we can find the sigil again.

>Or at least Yukari Master Race~
>You make your way back down, carefully lowering yourself onto the stack of tables from the trapdoor and taking the much safer stairs down to the basement storeroom. Proceeding down the corridor, you see that the sigil has returned to its original place.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Pull out our new piece of materia prima and see if it reacts in any way.

[Hello Purvis]

>Pull out our new piece of materia prima and see if it reacts in any way.

>You produce the piece of Materia Prima, and it does not seem to react to it.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Does the sigil feel incomplete in a way such that we could finish it?

[Hello Purvis]

>Does the sigil feel incomplete in a way such that we could finish it?

>You don't know. The problem is that it is rather like a jigsaw puzzle, and you don't know how large or what shape the whole thing is. Until you can see more of it, you wouldn't be able to finish it properly.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>So we need to find something that directly relates to the sigil?

[Hello Purvis]

>So we need to find something that directly relates to the sigil?

>You suspect so. It would likely be another source of power that is similar to its frayed and unfinished nature. However, it may well be something more subtle.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>You feel that you have probably seen everything there is to be seen in the shrine, short of finding a hidden door.

>_

[O4rfish]

>Search for hidden doors.

[Hello Purvis]

>Search for hidden doors.

>Where do you intend to search, and what methods do you intend to use?

>_

[Yaersulf]

>I search for traps and secret doors!
>I roll a 9!
>Thoroughly investigate the strange seam.
