Sakuya Quest 3 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

> Did we see a graveyard behind this temple?

[Hello Purvis]

> Did we see a graveyard behind this temple?

>You have caught a glimpse of it, wedged between some housing rows and a couple of shops.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "The entrance is somewhere in the graveyard behind this temple, yes?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "The entrance is somewhere in the graveyard behind this temple, yes?"

>"Mhm," says Flandre. "Though a couple alleys lead into it as well."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Would it be terribly rude it I simply flew over the Temple to reach it?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Would it be terribly rude it I simply flew over the Temple to reach it?"

>"Wouldn't bother me," says Flandre. "People are flying over the temple to reach the temple."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "And whereabouts in the graveyard is the cave?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "And whereabouts in the graveyard is the cave?"

>"It's off to the southwest side," says Flandre. "There's a few trees by it."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "I think I should be able to find it, then. Though, if so people are arriving, should I perhaps ask Ichirin for her signature before things get hectic here?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "I think I should be able to find it, then. Though, if so people are arriving, should I perhaps ask Ichirin for her signature before things get hectic here?"

>"You could," says Flandre. "Things will clear out in a couple hours, though, and you'll have more time then."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hmm...well, all right. I will come back later. Would you mind telling her about this signed statement for me, so she at least has some information before a stranger shows up at her door, asking for her signature?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hmm...well, all right. I will come back later. Would you mind telling her about this signed statement for me, so she at least has some information before a stranger shows up at her door, asking for her signature?"

>"No problem!" says Flandre. "I was intending to tell her all about you when I had the chance, if Elise hasn't for me."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Smile.
> "That works as well."
> Make a shoo-ing motion toward the temple doors.
> "Now go, Young Mistress. Do not let me detain you from your obligations any further. I'll be back, I promise."

>"You better!" says Flandre, as she walks off, waving to you.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Wave in response, then take flight, head over the Temple, and head into the graveyard behind it.

[Hello Purvis]

> Wave in response, then take flight, head over the Temple, and head into the graveyard behind it.

>You head over the temple, and approach the graveyard.
>You've seen it from a distance several times in the past, and it doesn't seem like a whole lot has changed. The grass is better clipped than you remember it being before, and there are much fewer trees, and more graves. In fact, taking a look at it, it seems this cemetery is full, and probably hasn't seen any new additions in a long time. You suspect many graves likely never see any visitors, having been forgotten by the ages. There is still a stand of trees to the southwest, you note.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Well, that makes things a little bit easier.
> Head southwest toward the trees.
> Are there any trees that seem separate from the rest? If so, head toward those trees specifically.

[Hello Purvis]

> Well, that makes things a little bit easier.
> Head southwest toward the trees.
> Are there any trees that seem separate from the rest? If so, head toward those trees specifically.

>You head toward the trees. None of them seem to be particularly separate that you note, there's just a small and fairly overgrown copse of them.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Periodically monitor the ground for caves as we approach the trees.

[Hello Purvis]

> Periodically monitor the ground for caves as we approach the trees.

>You monitor the ground as you approach the trees, and don't see any caves. What you do note, however, is a curious absence of trees a little ways into the copse.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Land in the area that is missing trees and look around for any unusual geographic features.

[Hello Purvis]

> Land in the area that is missing trees and look around for any unusual geographic features.

>You try to land there, and find an incline leading to a large, gaping hole in the ground.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> That must be it! Enter the hole.

[Hello Purvis]

> That must be it! Enter the hole.

>You enter, and find yourself in a long, rocky tunnel. It is difficult to see, and pitch black up ahead.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Are we capable of generating sources of light other than danmaku?

[Hello Purvis]

> Are we capable of generating sources of light other than danmaku?

>No more than any other human.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Keep going, slowly so we can (hopefully) avoid smashing face-first into a wall, until we hit the pitch-black part.

[Hello Purvis]

> Keep going, slowly so we can (hopefully) avoid smashing face-first into a wall, until we hit the pitch-black part.

>You keep going. The floor is not entirely even, making footing a little difficult. Soon, it is impossible to see ahead.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Call out gently into the darkness.
> "Miss Futo?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Call out gently into the darkness.
> "Miss Futo?"

>You call into the darkness.
>It takes a few moments before you hear an answer, faintly in the distance. "You may approach."
