Terrene Spire - Gently ended.

[X] Oh my god Shrub what happened?!
-[X] Are you hurt? Is your friend still alive? Is there anyway I can help?

And I'm going to echo all the comments that holy shit, this Quest is amazing! Like, I saw it advertised on the banner, and when I saw the first animation I was hooked.

You're an amazing storyteller, especially with visuals and body language. Rock on, Dex, rock on!

HELP IS ON THE WAY!

You're as awesome as always Dex.

[X] Did those robots do this? I'm going to kill them!


I think the plant boy is the exploded thing on the bridge or that there is at least a connection of some kind
Wait brainfart, nothing here

More Sketches! I think we deserve a few more sketches:









These are all the earliest exports of areas I could find on a whim. Sadly I don't have the base sketch for most of the areas anymore.



Something Cryptic



An older design to figure out Shrub Stalls' body and how it works.





Figuring out the dice animation and the finished form up close

And now a little treat:



Behold, what the Buzz Saw move actually looks like! We never got to see it in the story, so now you get to see it here!

Again I must thank you all, for even giving me the time of the day, for every like, positive comment, action and view, I hope you all continue to have interest in my story, and if you have any questions about the Prologue or anything so far, I am willing to let that info come out!

Just, gosh... Thank you all for reading. From the deepest parts of my heart, thank you all.

@Dexexe1234, what stats can change based on the material we are possessing? Will stuff like metal and rock give better might, or is it all individually catagorized?

Each item has its own values. Any change enforces a different set of stats. So two glimmercite crystals will share the same stats, same as two rocks from the same ground. Its the composition of the material that really dictates its stats altogether.

so, if we tried to Matter Mould ourselves into a bulkier and more muscular body plan, would that increase our Might?

It wouldn't change much at all. Consider it like this: There is only so much mass to go around. You can "fabricate more" but that is simply the ectoplasm mimicying the mass. The more ectoplasm is used to generate mass the weaker the overall connection to the full body is. The give and take of these events roughly estimates back to the stats given, so instead of trying to game the system, maybe find a better shell to possess!

hm... but we also have a limit on how thin we can spread our ectoplasm, and thus how big an object we can possess. is there a way to increase the maximum size of objects we can possess?
 
I would think the best way to increase the size of object we can possess would be to increase the amount of ectoplasm we have.

That might be achievable by gaining potential, or through eating other ghostly things or something like that.

Ah, so if it's the same material, it gives the same stats as the first one we possessed(rock will always increase might, Glimmercite/ crystals will always increase grace). Thank you for the explanation.

[X] Oh my god Shrub what happened?!
[X] Now isn't the time for being fabulous. Treat this with the seriousness it deserves.
-[X] Are you hurt? Is your friend still alive? Is there anyway I can help?
--[X] Do whatever we can to help.
[X] Talk to the others and try to get a feel for what's going on.

Incredible Quest! It should have an advert at the bottom of the page.
 
Dex made a banner really early on but they didn't put it in the rotation for some reason.

This was the quest that had the mods look into the ad thing too.

Yo, maybe only I feel so, but aren't we kind of overreacting

I mean yeah Shrub' friends were attacked and somebody died and that is terrible alright, but from our perspective it shouldn't be that terrible considering we were already attacked twice and died twice in this story

So maybe instead of reacting so cartoonish emotional, we should maybe react a bit more serious

[X] Now isn't the time for being fabulous. Treat this with the seriousness it deserves.
-[X] Talk to SHrub find out what happened and what is going on right now
--[X] Find out if there is any way you can help

[X] Talk to the others and try to get a feel for what's going on.
I'm also against this, because we don't know them and they don't know us and they just lost a member of their community, so they are bound to still be grieving and they most likely will distrust strangers like us after a tragedy like that, not to mention we can get all the necessary info from Shrub unless he says otherwise, so let's avoid this please

Wow Shrub is really out of it. Don't think we will get any answers from him anytime soon.

[X] What are you talking about? Why would I hurt Shrub? He is like the only friendly person I met since I showed up.
-[X] What happen? Is there anything I can do to help?
 
[X] Ask why they think I would do such a thing. He never hurt me, he was the only one who was even friendly to me since I woke up!
[X] Ask again, what is going on... can I help, can anybody help?
