Sword Quest III - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> How much do we know of Higan?

>It is the major seat of the Celestial Bureaucracy. In particular, it is where the dead go to be judged and all things associated with that are centered. It is difficult to say if other functions are filled there, but you would imagine so.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we know how to get there, or how to contact any of their emissaries? Aside from the obvious, of course.

[Hello Purvis]

> Do we know how to get there, or how to contact any of their emissaries? Aside from the obvious, of course.

>You know that if you go north,you will find the Sanzu river. From there, it is assumed that the entrance can be found. However, given your status as a former mortal, it may not be wise to inquire too deeply into such things.

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown.
> "Higan was involved in this? That...could be worrisome."

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown.
> "Higan was involved in this? That...could be worrisome."

>"Not really, just one of their old workers with an axe to grind," says Kisume.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, I see. And you made sure this person was properly handled?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ah, I see. And you made sure this person was properly handled?"

>"Yep," says Kisume. "She won't be a problem no more."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Good. The less the activities of those in my company overlap with the activities of those in Higan, the better. You must be quite the formidable combatant to be able to defeat one of theirs."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "Good. The less the activities of those in my company overlap with the activities of those in Higan, the better. You must be quite the formidable combatant to be able to defeat one of theirs."

>She shrugs. "I had some help."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Gesture to Yamame.
> "Would that have been you?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Gesture to Yamame.
> "Would that have been you?"

>You gesture to Yamame, who had been chatting quietly with Reisen. She looks over and shakes her head. "No way, buddy."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Ah, okay."
> Turn back to Kisume.
> "Whoever that may have been, I hope to meet them some day."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ah, okay."
> Turn back to Kisume.
> "Whoever that may have been, I hope to meet them some day."

>"Her name's Kasen," says the bucket-bound youkai. "She's kinda hard to find most of the time."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> We previously established that we don't know that name, yes?

[Hello Purvis]

> We previously established that we don't know that name, yes?

>You do not really know who this is.

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Then I shall hope fate will smile upon me. I thank you for what you have done to stop those who would do such terrible things."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Then I shall hope fate will smile upon me. I thank you for what you have done to stop those who would do such terrible things."

>"Eh, had to be done, I suppose," says Kisume. "I was there."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "If I may ask about the previous topic, then, could you tell me perhaps the direction your assailant came from? Given they presumably came at you from behind, would they have come from the surface, or further underground?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "If I may ask about the previous topic, then, could you tell me perhaps the direction your assailant came from? Given they presumably came at you from behind, would they have come from the surface, or further underground?"

>"Wish I could tell you," says Kisume. "I think they must've used a real tricky familiar, because it feels like it came from above."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Do Futo or Tojiko use 'real tricky familiars'?

[Kilgamayan]

> Alternatively, do Tojiko's lightning strikes come from above?

[Hello Purvis]

>Do Futo or Tojiko use 'real tricky familiars'?

>Not to your knowledge. But, perhaps Futo has created some new plate-based trick that you do not know about?

> Alternatively, do Tojiko's lightning strikes come from above?

>They do not, they come from her.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Did it feel elemental, such as electric, or just like normal danmaku? Or were you simply bludgeoned with something, perhaps?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Did it feel elemental, such as electric, or just like normal danmaku? Or were you simply bludgeoned with something, perhaps?"

>"Don't know," says Kisume. "I think it was just danmaku, though."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Could Seiga or Yoshika have done such a thing?

[Hello Purvis]

> Could Seiga or Yoshika have done such a thing?

>You aren't sure. At least, you don't think the latter could.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "How strange. Unfortunately, I am not sure any of my advisors, current or former, could do such a thing..."

[Hello Purvis]

> "How strange. Unfortunately, I am not sure any of my advisors, current or former, could do such a thing..."

>"Wish I knew more to tell ya," says Kisume.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hmm...what does your wand look like?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hmm...what does your wand look like?"

>"It's about a foot and a half long, with a circle on top, and some wings under it. Kinda white-ish blue-purple in color?"
