Yukari Quest V - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Serela]

Okay, we're going to become huge again, physically remove the wall with the sigil from the shrine, drop it in the mountaintop cave thing, then come back while smaller and hope we can manage to get it in the tunnel with this sigil. Good plan y/y?

Spoiler:

I'm mostly kidding yet it sounds like it might be crazy enough to work but I know there's no way that's any of the possible intended solutions... ergo surely there's a much easier way that isn't incredibly reckless.

Edit:Actually, the shrine is tiny, isn't it? This plan might not be as stupid as I thought, and we probably don't even have to be huge to do it.

>How big is the shrine compared to our normal size? (also I'm sorry for editing commands in after posting but doubleposting is heresy)

[Hello Purvis]

>How big is the shrine compared to our normal size?

>The shrine itself is about waist high to you at your normal high. It is set on a pavilion that is a few yards wide, and some feet deep.

TINY SHRINE RIP AND TEAR someone please tell me this isn't what we're really going to do (I'm going to bed now, in any case)

>Does it seem like we should be able to dismantle it without too much effort whilst at our normal size?

[Hello Purvis]

>Does it seem like we should be able to dismantle it without too much effort whilst at our normal size?

>Tearing apart the shrine itself wouldn't be hard. Tearing part the pavilion and such, where the basement and tunnel are, would be a bit more difficult.

>Could we use our power to seperate the sigils from the wall?

[Hello Purvis]

>Could we use our power to seperate the sigils from the wall?

>You might, but you aren't sure what effect this may have on them. The sigils may separate cleanly, the may dissolve entirely, or they may crumble into dust. It is hard to predict with mystical things.

> Given we're now aware that these sigils comprise our wrench, do the patterns mean anything to us?

[Hello Purvis]

> Given we're now aware that these sigils comprise our wrench, do the patterns mean anything to us?

>Not really. They like they should have something, but you don't quite recognize what.  Thinking on it, the spirals do seem to have some familiarity, but you can't quite place what they would be.

[Kilgamayan]

> Are they all spiraling in the same direction?

[Hello Purvis]

> Are they all spiraling in the same direction?

>They are, though they terminate in different directions.

[日巫子]

> How fast are the spirals moving?

[Hello Purvis]

> How fast are the spirals moving?

>They are not moving. Rather, they are just glyphs on the wall.

>Open a gap to the shrine perpendicular to, but right up against, the wall.
>Travel through it and try to get the sigil there to follow us like before.
>If successful return through the gap.

[Hello Purvis]

>Open a gap to the shrine perpendicular to, but right up against, the wall.
>Travel through it and try to get the sigil there to follow us like before.
>If successful return through the gap.

>You open a gap along the wall and travel through it, where you find the humanoid sigil resting on the wall like always, apparently unharmed from your earlier experiments.
>How you do you intend to get it to follow you through the gap?

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Ask it nicely.
>Walk around the shrine a bit, and if it looks like it's started following us then walk through the gap.

It's a long shot, but why not.

[Kilgamayan]

Hold up, I have another idea.

>Walk around the shrine a bit, and if it looks like it's started following us then walk through the gap.

> Don't do this just yet.
> Do we still have our bed sheet?

[Hello Purvis]

> Do we still have our bed sheet?

>You do.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Take it out and lay it on the ground.

[Hello Purvis]

> Take it out and lay it on the ground.

>After finding a spot that is not too dirty, you spread your bed sheet on the ground.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look away from both the sigil and the bedsheet for about thirty seconds, then look back at where the sigil currently is.

[Hello Purvis]

> Look away from both the sigil and the bedsheet for about thirty seconds, then look back at where the sigil currently is.

>Looking away from the sigil for a few moments, you look back and see it has crept up from where it was to just a yard behind you, keeping at the same height on the wall.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Look away from the sigil and the bedsheet for thirty seconds, then look around for the sigil again.

[Hello Purvis]

> Look away from the sigil and the bedsheet for thirty seconds, then look around for the sigil again.

>You look away again, and look back to see the sigil has not moved.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Move so our sheet is between us and the sigil, about a yard away from us.
> Look away from the sigil and the bedsheet for thirty seconds, then look around for the sigil again.

[Hello Purvis]

> Move so our sheet is between us and the sigil, about a yard away from us.
> Look away from the sigil and the bedsheet for thirty seconds, then look around for the sigil again.

>You move a bit, then look away. Upon looking back, you see the sigil has moved only slightly so that it is about a yard away from you still, maintaining the same height.

[Kilgamayan]

> Have we ever seen the sigil on the ceiling or ground?

[Hello Purvis]

> Have we ever seen the sigil on the ceiling or ground?

>You don't remember it being on either. Thinking back, the only time it has not stayed on the same level was when you were climbing stairs or the like.

[Mr. Sacchi]

You wanna try to get the sigil on the blanket, right? Lemme try something.

> Have we ever tried "dragging" the sigil before? Only do the following if we haven't:
>> Approach sigil, touch it, embrace for feeling of being scanned.
>> Slowly drag our finger accross the wall, see if the sigil follows.

[Hello Purvis]

> Have we ever tried "dragging" the sigil before? Only do the following if we haven't:
>> Approach sigil, touch it, embrace for feeling of being scanned.
>> Slowly drag our finger accross the wall, see if the sigil follows.

>You have not.
>Attempting to drag it, it does not move nor does it react unusually. This isn't terribly surprising, given what you found when you looked at it with you magnifying glass and found that it's movement seems to only happen when you are not viewing it. Looking toward it seems to be what forces it into place.

[Mr. Sacchi]

> Try again with our eyes closed, drag our fingers across the wall a little and open them up again, see if the sigil has moved.
