Many ages have passed since the dark wizard MORDRED was cast down and slain by his mortal nemesis, a wizard without a name. MORDRED's tyranny had been broken and his beasts made tame, but the world has been forever rent asunder by his malice and dissolution...The DUNGEON is deep and full of monsters. It is said that fabulous treasures and the legendary object of power, the ORB OF MORDRED, lie waiting at the very bottom. They also say that those who have entered have never returned alive, but they do say a lot of things...[Inspired by @non's @mulet Quest.]

She speaks in a voice of a worker or a young queen, rather than a drone, but she is clearly not a fellow child of Formus nor one of the Heavenly Host. She stands on two legs. She has no mandibles like an insect or fleshy face like a human. She has a blue cap of sorts skewed on two thin horns. She is very red. You have absolutely no idea what this thing is."Oh. Oh shit." She finds her voice at last. "It's an adventurer." She turns around to shout. "Hey! HEY! EVERYONE, GET OFF YOUR BUTTS! WE GOT A CODE RED! CODE RED! CODE RED!!!"

>>6472905"Calm down... would any adventurer really be digging around? I got here for a maintenance check.

While doing this let's try using our antennae to detect any nearby entities. There's probably more guys but how many could set the picture.
>>6472952Nevermind that's no formicid. Maybe some Imp? Still, best to reason.

You don't know any adventurers around here, do you?And the shouting is becoming loud. Terribly, terribly loud. Your mandibles click in growing duress as you try to repeat the words you have been given but when was the last time anyone asked for you to give back the words you must repeat? "kkkkk... aaaallll..." You try to speak, sounding off slowly, softly, but inertia of your entire life in almost silent obedience strangles your attempt.A sense of dread impresses you, takes control of you. The red thing is shouting, shouting, shouting still, its own words far away and yet so close that it's hard to think on formulating your own words. It just doesn't make sense, this sense of dread, a mess of sense, this dizziness, is distress, a fear, I fear, this hunger—You stop thinking. You stop trying to understand. You are driven to action.

There are no final words. Two-Legs dies instantly.The body goes slack and you quietly watch for any signs of life. Its "flesh" starts to bubble, then lose cohesion, split into strands, slough off, fall apart, diffuse, melt. Your antennae twitch as the pungent odor of organic rot and faint gore in the air as the corpse (and it is indeed a corpse, yes) lyses in front of you.You take out your pick and keep it at the ready, but you sense no one coming.It is quiet now...

One step at a time.You look down to the pitiful corpse. You tilt your head slowly, one from side to another. There's a particular word that impresses upon you."Frfff... Fri-eeend?" you rasp, forcing the words out through the holes in your carapace. It is one of the few words you have and that you've used while you lived in the hive, one amongst many sisters and a few brothers crowding, cr@wling all around you. You have a few words like that, like yes and no and ma'am and dig and there and mine and tunnel and guard and heal and help and find and demon and larvae and hungry."..." There's no response. It doesn't seem like much for conversation, anyway.You decide to stop thinking about it.There's a key on this pitiful corpse you've made, so you take it and the mace. The soaked rags and its somehow very dry flat cap are left behind for now. You consider slurping up the already drying remnants of the maintenance "goon," but something about the smell of it gives you pause.Acquired- Red Key (Very Light, No Size (0))- Mace (Not Light, Very Bulky (3))The mace feels solid in your hand, but it will be a rather tricky and sluggish to use in coordination with your pickaxe and the lantern you're currently carrying.

>>6473758You consider the tall boxes. Vending machines. Vend. Vendor. A vendor that is a machine. Yes, simple enough. But where is the vendor? Inside of it?You inspect the machine further. There are several colorful rectangles here that make neat clicking sounds like your jaws when you press on them. You look down and—OMG (oh my gosh)OMG OMG OMGYour feelers wave frantically."itsssss... pie..!" you can't help but say aloud with the words you have. There is a delicious treat inside!You kneel down and reach for it, but instantly bump your hand against something you can't see! You reach out and touch it the obstacle again, feeling a strangely smooth, yet warm as if there's fire coming from the inside like the stones of a surface or a lid of a hot pot. is this fire magic? you wrack your meager brain again. there's an invisible thing, no, you can see invisible... a tran.. traps... see-through thing here. It is a luxurious material from the humans and their vendor-traders. What was it called? GLASS, yes, there's a square of glass preventing your ingress.You stare longingly at the DELICIOUS PIE behind the glass, think slowly for a moment, then use the red key on the machine. You twist right, careful not to upset the inner mechanisms, then twist left until you hear a small click.The glass panel flips away. The fruity smell and warmth that waft out are incredible.You reach out and take out the platter of PIE, almost with reverence. It smells as GOOD AS IT LOOKS.You extend your tongue to have a sample...
>>6473759Theme of BLISS (Stone in Focus (Aphex Twin cover)) https://youtu.be/rAnS57JF1J0 The sweetness of fruit and sugar and the flaky, fatty taste of the bread, crust, that is, strikes your sense like a dynamite bomb.oh me, oh my, what a wonderful pie!it's so good, it might make you cry...(If you could cry in the first place, that is.)You take your sweet time eating this wonderful treat-treat, hunched over, antennae folded flat against your head. Mandibles chew and crush and make a smeared mess across the plate and your face, but it's okay. Everything is going to be okay. Your glossa goes over the plate, dissolving and lapping up the resulting pie liquid and crumbs, making sure you get every morsel out of the moment as you can.You feel incredibly satisfied. You didn't even need to break open the vendor with your pickaxe, like you thought you would.MORALE: N/A -> N/ASATIETY: STARVING -> FAIRLY HUNGRYGained [BLISS] - +3 max HP, +1 max MP, +1 to Physical challenges.

There is no more pie to be found. You look around and there is no one to give any. Mmm, how sad...Then, a new smell. No, two more.You smell two living things coming this way, like animal and sweat and fabric and a bit like blood. Hard to tell what they are. Two things, which you smell before you hear."Look, I don't like her as much as anyone else does," a not-drone-but-drone-sounding voice says through the right doorway. "But you know that the boss is going to punch our heads through our asses if we don't —""Oi, jusshutit you slahkin' git." A rougher voice growls out. "Gimme da key out too.

Uh oh.The other red one starts scurrying away on little gob— GOBLIN, yes! — feet and you know that if you take your time removing your pickaxe, he's going to disappear out of sight and get away.

>>6476464You understand the importance of being thorough and destroying every part of the enemy's operating structure to be absolutely sure that a vanquished enemy stays dead. You would treat the corpse as an object, a thing to disassemble very quickly, rather than as a carcass to butcher, hacking off its limbs and destroying the body outright. Standard procedure.But because this is only a goblin and it is not a demonic foe, it is enough to simply kill him. And so you have. Okay. One step at a time.You extend your mandibles and quickly hack off the goblin's arm to eat as you've been ordered. MORALE: N/A -> N/ASATIETY: FAIRLY HUNGRY -> SATEDThis raw flesh tastes terrible. You are fine.You check and make sure that the mace isn't going anywhere (don't forget!) then drag the corpse back to his fellows and make a nice pile like how you've seen your sisters stack up the dead of war and tally up their mortal belongings in preparation for the funerary rites or corpse disposal.The red two-legs, the goon, seems to have dissolved further and her? hat still seems dry. You drop the heavier body of the green two-legs first, then check for anything interesting...Oh.Acquired- Unknown Scroll TRHZIATHARITHRZA (Very Light, 1 Slot)- Coin purse (Very Light, 1 Slot)The scroll seems... mystical. Important. Like a a sister weathercaller presence feeling or maybe a wizard. It's a magical scroll, clearly, but you don't know what it does at a glance...Maybe you can get someone to figure it... No. You're far from home and from your family. You put that thought aside and look into the coin purse. Inside are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... 7 ... 20 gold pieces, z... pen... zennies as you faintly recall. There is also a note of sorts. It reads: "BIG THANKS FOR BABYSITTING THAT DUMB MAGE, URUK. GOOD THING WE TOOK OUT ALL THE SPELLBOOKS BEFORE WE LOCKED HER UP IN THAT BAILEY, HAHA!- GORDON"Interesting, but not concerning.As expected, there is nothing of interest on the naked goblin's corpse. You put him down on top of the green two-legs, then turn your attention to the vendor machine that reads DRINK in bright letters. You hear the hum of its bar of light on its top. It's a weird sound and you don't know how it's making luminescence.
>>6476471There's an opened part of the vendor machine in a square shape, but there's nothing in the hole. You check along the sides of the machine for an opening, but there is none either. There is a blue lock on the left side of the glowing box. You double check your key color, but alas. It's red.You stare at the vendor machine. Nothing seems to happen. You close the vendor machine door. DELIGHT FUL PRODUCTS! REFRESHING DRINKS!Water - 1 ̶Z̶ (THE most addictive liquid compared to all others.

>>6476872I mean yeah, but we don't know how the Marking and alarm magics work, do they track adventurers even after they leave? Maybe it clears up immediately and we go back down.Or we should set up a killzone in one of these tunnels.

Fun ant fact: did you know that ants take hundreds of micronaps, a less than a minute each, in a single day? Can't blame NULL for sleeping on the job, hehe.]
>>6476963Oh, so it's just an alarm trap. I thought it would be something actually bad like curse or doom.
>>6477022So what do you say? We doomguying our way through this place?
>>6477026If this floor's inhabitants are going to throw themselves at the giant, armed and armored ant over a vending machine, I won't feel particularly sorry for them.

>>6477333If we can detect movement through walls, that is a mighty useful ability to have.Could put our head up to the wall to check if we can get any more information about the other side. If it's nothing major then can go check out the paper board.
>>6477382Let's listen then. Wait for it. Watch for it.You can't see or smell through the thick stone walls, of course, but you can still listen through the nearby door and feel a few vibrations if you pay careful enough attention. So you try doing just that.You hear shuffling in place, like feet dragging along the ground, and a light groaning, like a human or some other non-sister with a tummy problem. The owner's pace is slow and there's a few dull thumps through the wall, as if the owner keeps bumping against the spot where you're listening right now. Bump, bump, bump.There's other smaller sounds as well. You hear a faint chittering? Squeaking? You have to take your time to understand the difference. The owners of the sounds seem... less... the size of... less big than the goblin or your pickaxe. They keep going back and forth as well.The stone bricks under your hands feel quite robust despite their rough hewing and haphazard construction. This dungeon place is somewhat impressive considering how many stone bricks there are in one place. It's very cift... ciz... civilized. The design is very human. You can't help but think that they're totally unlike the tunnels of your home, which is now very, very far away...You know your stones.

>>6477746:0Fellow tunnel digger? Friend incoming?
There are quite a number of documents and notices of sorts. Let's see here...On the top left, there's a crumpled paper talking about safety warning. You have to take your time with reading it, but it seems very important.There used to be something called a "ecu-something" somewhere in the main dungeon. Some of the altars to the gods were deemed too dangerous to the dungeon staff because of the arrival of adventurers so they have been hidden away or destroyed when possible. There's a special exception for the spider altars in place but you can't see an explanation. Well, that's good! A good, safe, and happy colony always protects its workers. Vaguely, you get the sense that adventurers are a pretty dangerous bunch! You sure wouldn't want to meet one of them.In the corner, there's a star symbol which you recognize as ZIN of the Heavenly Host, one of the human gods (god human?) that come to visit the colony sometimes. Hah... It's strange what you end up remembering. You have to wrack your brains about it. You see Zin bow to the guards when he enters and he's very nice to your sisters, exchanging gifts with each other when he comes to visit. He talks a lot about himself like another person like a worker-sister and the proper worship of the three good gods and the Law and conversion and proper cleanliness. Your sisters listen well. He doesn't talk to you though. You just listened when you weren't working.Next to it is an... adv, abdertisement. The text is small and you don't know a few of the words, but you can read it faster. It says,"Hey PAISANOS! TRY our new HARDER and better DUNGEON CHEESE!This week: PARMIGIANO REGGIANO! It's guaranteed to make your heart VERY WELL PLEASED!You can't go WRONG! This stuff is the BOMB!Come to Floor 4C TODAY!!!(This message was brought to you by José Juan.)"Neat.Your eyes drift to the right colorful paper under a minty smelling herb, but you find the official-looking paper is way too complex for you to understand easily. Too many words that you don't know and pictures you can't make sense of. One looks like a pie. Mmm, pie.You lick your mandibles and read the image to the left. It's the Red Goon! It seems to be saying,"REMINDERS:Be mindful of those around you! Be vigilant! There exists disharmony!Always stick with your buddy! Just remember that a friend is the best thing you can ever have. When life gets you down, a friend will be there to help!Report any strange heavily armed individuals with a proper ID card!

Too much reading! You much rather have your Controller figure it out for you, like he's doing right now.
>>6479819[Ran out of space.]You see two colorful things on the cheese poster. One red and one taller. They look like humans. Maybe they're like gray humans? Because they're colorful, you see.
