Well, it is time to make my decision. I CHOOSE TO...
...rest until morning.
What? It's like the middle of the night. I'm not going to start my long journey to New Sheoth until the sun rises!
Okay, NOW it is time to choose!
I decide to go with Mania. It just sounds more interesting.
Ooooh, pretty colors.
Also get a greater power that is a frenzy spell.
It would be great if I didn't already have a frenzy spell that was much better, and if I encountered anything that was level 12 and under anymore.
I must say, everything in this dimension looks much better than the stuff in my old one.
Unfortunately, there are still people near the roads that attack me for no daisies reason.
They are as easy to kill as the bandits back home, though. Perhaps even easier.
In one of the heretic camps, I find a fork. That's cool I guess. You never know when you might need a fork.
Oh boy, an enormous creature that tries to kill me for little to no reason. I guess every realm has that problem...
That was not an easy creature to kill, and I hope I don't have to face one again.
Almost immediately afterwards I am attacked by some sort of tree monster.
It is easier to kill than the bug, but just barely.
Huh, it seems to have some of that amber stuff on it's body.
All the other tree-monsters I kill on my journey have some of the stuff too.
I am also attacked by little anorexic imps.
These, too, are not easy to kill.
This is kind of ridiculous. I never thought I would say this, but I honestly prefer bears to these creatures. I wouldn't go as far as underwater bears, though.
Along the way, I encounter some warriors who appear to be wearing armor a few sizes too small on them.
I decide to talk to them and ask them about New Sheoth.
Apparently, these are the guards of this world. At least in the Mania part of the land.
They also come across as really,
really stuck up. They're kind of jerks.
I also encounter a few of those skeleton things I had encountered in the Garden of Flesh and Bone.
While fighting said skeleton thing, I gain a rank in Restoration while healing myself. HUZZUH!
I even encounter a few creatures much like that thing that attacked me soon after I entered the realm.
At least in my old realm,
normal creatures were trying to kill me, not monsters like these!
Even the sky looks different in those realm. It is much more reddish.
I come across a small town. I wonder what sort of lunatics and psychos I'll encounter here?
I won't know until morning, though, so I sleep at a nearby heretic camp until morning. I then head back to the town and talk to the first villager I see.
I ask him about "Mirili's Research", since I have the option to for some reason.
Sounds interesting except for the fact that it doesn't.
I talk to the next nearest villager.
Well, she seems friendly. I actually kind of had the feeling I was going to have to kill someone here tod-
...I can give her the poison apple Lucien gave me when she asks for food?
...Okay, I don't care how nice she is, the temptation is too much to bare! I give her the apple, and eagerly await for the moment when she eats it and dies!
Well, she's definitely eating something, but where's the dying?
Why is she still walking around?
WHY ISN'T SHE DEAD?
Screw it, I'm going to talk to the third and final villager while I wait for the poison to kick in.
Oh, so
you're Mirili.
She talks to me about her research for a while, and I tell her I don't really care.
Hey! I may not know what most of those words mean, but I can certainly tell it is an insult! Jerk!
Gladly! You just be glad you seem to be essential for a quest of some sort (although you are not actually an essentially NPC), because otherwise you would be
so dead right now!
Anyway, I decide to wait 18 hours until tomorrow. Surely, the poison should have kicked in by then!
WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME SHE IS STILL ALIVE HOW CAN THIS BE
ARGH THAT IS IT NO ONE TAKES A POISON APPLE AND LIVES ON MY WATCH, IT IS TIME TO DO THIS THE OLD FASHION WAY!
YEAH, TAKE THAT, YOU LIVE-THROUGH-POISON-ER!
Oh, hey, it turns out she had never eaten the poison apple after all. Huh.
Oh well, at least I get my apple back!
Anyway, now that my business there is done, I continue my journey to New Sheoth!
Wait... is that-?
It is! I have finally arrived at New Sheoth!
Oh boy, I can't wait to see what exciting adventures await me in there!
