[X] "Uh. Were you here the whole time?"

Five feet away, Daeva silently cheers for Zest against the Retainer of Want, juuust out of camera.
 
[X] Yes. Yes you did.
- [X] That thing was tough as heck though.
- [X] Um. Aren't your spikes going to, uh, go away? Given the battle is over and all.

-[X] Grab Loo- I mean, scan the corpse and mask.
--[X] Seriously scan those things right now cause you need to know what the heck this thing was in case you run into more of it.

can i ask out of curiosities sake why updates take so long?
 
I love how the animation for the Retainer's death has so much anticipation in it - he stays balanced between standing and falling for juuuust long enough that you're unsure if the battle is really over, and then it finally falls onto the spikes. I really like how the one spike pops the mask off, too!

Hmm, spikes seem to stay after a fight is over. Wonder if that is a permanent thing or like matter mold once we leave the area they disappear.

Still glad we finally beat the thing since annoying enemy type and glad to see our efforts were appreciated.

We need info about how this thing just wrapped in.

Also we should say hi to the frogs.:p
 
Dealing with real life issues like getting medication in order, talking to therapists and getting stuff like a new apartment and a new job in line. Along with the fact that I had no money and housed a friend for a few months. There has been a ton of little problems. I am so sorry.
Don't say sorry for RL stuff Dex. We all understand the situation your in and the fact you still work on this despite all of that shows how strong of a person you are despite what you may believe about yourself.

Don't be sorry, RL always takes precedence over the faceless anonymous of the internet. You did what you had to do.
 
At last! Victory is ours! Now onto other matters.

Yey, we continued :D
...guys, it was mentioned that we can desummon those spikes and that they stay until we do...

[X] Desummon spikes
[X] Appear next to loot without Deava ever letting you go
-[X] Don't explain how you did it, a specteral wizard ninja never tells his tricks
[X] Scan retainer and stuff
-[X] Obtain loot
-[X] Ask Deava about masks and eashalons
[X] Ask Deava about Scythe and any crafting options

Hé, we made Zest a curious Guy.

(hello, i'm a new guy here)
(I coincidentally got an account on these forums Right before i dsicovered this story by unrelated means)
(the animations are amazing! all those details probably take forever. one of the parts I remember and liked was the star-background effect when the vessel of grief used its scythe)
(...granted, i probably noticed that the most because that was one of the few parts I saw with a really slow internet, so it player .5 - 2 FPS cuz it had to load the next frame, which makes it way easier to see all the cool details on the attacks)
(my only qualm as far as general how-the-adventure-is-made is that there are some parts of the animations for attacks or actions that I think would be really amazing to see slower and i can't really do that)
(which more or less translates to "my problem is you do it too well I can't even see all the awesome" : P)
[don't have anysuggestions right now that haven't been said, though i might think of something, who knows : )]
EDIT: Yes to the thing above, I animate things semi-regularly, and 5 seconds can take a day or 2 without Any backgrounds and with everything a stick figure of uniform texture.
as i read once somewhere, 'first rule of animating: Animating Is Hard.'

--[X] Remind him that you are a man on a mission and that you have no idea of how much more sidetracked you can get before it become a problem.

I don't even remember what we were supposed to do, just something about a dying kid and a funky flow of time making the severity of the situation kinda funky.
 
( we were supposed to get special soil before the next tick so all the plant-people can revive, the soil is supposed to be in the place we entered, there was a dieing kid which is why we have a time limit.)
