Reisen Quest: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> "Get that rope! Now! And you wouldn't happen to have a tranquilizer as well, would you?"

>"Sorry, none!" says Nitori, as she flies off back toward kappa town.

>"Yes, throw it over here!"
>Shout at the wolf really loudly. make it scared.
>Then run at it, fire a few danmaku towards it and then tie it up once we have the rope

>Manipulate wavelengths of voice to distort the sound and confuse the wolf

>It seems she wasn't kidding when she said it was at the shop.
>You shout at the wolf, messing with the waves to distort your voice.
>You charge at the wolf, firing a few more shots in its general direction. It turns and runs.

[Dead Princess Sakana]

> Go after it, use Wave Sign: Mind Shaker to confuse its vision and hopefully make it run into something
> If we catch up or it runs against something, try to wrestle it to the ground
> Should the above succeed, make it stare into our eyes to hypnotise it

> Go after it, use Wave Sign: Mind Shaker to confuse its vision and hopefully make it run into something
> If we catch up or it runs against something, try to wrestle it to the ground
> Should the above succeed, make it stare into our eyes to hypnotise it

>You shouldn't even need to use a spellcard to do that. But if you keep this up, you are going to get a nasty headache.
>You don't fancy your chances wrestling an angry thing with snapping teeth, even if it is confused; you aren't able to confound touch, as it is not based on airborne waves.

[Dead Princess Sakana]

> Try to confuse its sight one more time and hope for something to happen to stop it
> Scream out "Someone catch that wolf", maybe someone's near
> If none of those work, give up the chase and go back to the metal

> Try to confuse its sight one more time and hope for something to happen to stop it
> Scream out "Someone catch that wolf", maybe someone's near
> If none of those work, give up the chase and go back to the metal

>You distort the light waves around it and it quickly starts to stagger, then slams face-first into a wall. It backs away, shaking its head.
>You shout that, but no one seems to be nearby. You image that the tengu, if they are paying attention, are probably not too eager to tangle with a collection of angry teeth and claws.

[Pesco]

> Make the wolf think the wall is VERY VERY TASTY

[Kilgamayan]

>"Knock it off, Momizi!"

[Dead Princess Sakana]

> If it responds to the above, speak to it calmly

> Else:
> Think about if we could get close enough to hypnotize it, now that it's worn out
> If we think we could, run up to the front of the wolf, crouch down and start hypnotizing it immediatley
> If we can't do the above, look around for something to knock it out with, preferably a long stick or something similar

[Hello Purvis]

> Make the wolf think the wall is VERY VERY TASTY

>Specific impulse control is pretty far out of your league.
>Right now it is just trying to make sense of the world around it, judging from the way it is whining and looking around erratically.

>"Knock it off, Momizi!"

>You hear no answer from Momiji. It would be irksome if she were behind this, you got no beef with tengu.

> If it responds to the above, speak to it calmly

> Else:
> Think about if we could get close enough to hypnotize it, now that it's worn out
> If we think we could, run up to the front of the wolf, crouch down and start hypnotizing it immediatley
> If we can't do the above, look around for something to knock it out with, preferably a long stick or something similar

>You don't know if it would be safe to get close enough to hypnotize it, it is a wild predator after all.
>You could probably batter it with a piece of scrap metal.

>_

[Dead Princess Sakana]

> Look how far away the scrap metal is
> Look around to see if Nitori is already on her way back
> If Nitori's to be seen, wait for her to arrive
> If it would take less than 10~20 seconds to get some scrap metal and come back, run for the metal and fetch a piece
> Regardless of whether we have the metal or not, now we'll take the risk: Run up to the wolf, crouch before it, look into its eyes, start hypnotizing. Grab it's head if we have to. We won't get another chance

>It's only been a few moments since Nitori left. You imagine you're not going to see her for five minutes or so.
>You walk backward toward the scrap pile, so as not to break your influence over the wolf, keeping a hand on the side of the moutain to help keep you from taking a misstep. Then you claim a piece of metal.
>You obtain: Scrap Metal Bludgeon.
>You then close in on the wolf again. It whines as you draw near, then snarls sharply, looking around in several directions. You don't fancy your chances of grabbing its head right now. At least not without running a significant chance of getting your face or hands bitten.

>_

[Snaka]

>It doesnt like bullets. So fire some more bullets to keep it calm. If that doesn't work then bludgeon it with a bludgeon.

[Hello Purvis]

>It doesnt like bullets. So fire some more bullets to keep it calm. If that doesn't work then bludgeon it with a bludgeon.

>You fire a few more bullets. This has the exact opposite effect of calming it, as it looks around even more erratically and its growls go up in pitch.
>You move in and whack it with the scrap metal bludgeon. It yelps and falls to the ground.

>_

[Snaka]

>Eat the metal
>No wait, eat the wolf

>Grab it's head and clamp down on it's jaw so that it can't bite us.
>Hypnotise it

[Pesco]

> Throw 5 magic stones into the river.
> Loot the wolf.

[Dead Princess Sakana]

> If that's possible while hypnotizing, speak to it calmly or sing a lullaby to calm it a bit, else just hypnotize it quietly

[Hello Purvis]

>Eat the metal
>No wait, eat the wolf

>Grab it's head and clamp down on it's jaw so that it can't bite us.
>Hypnotise it

>It is only dazed, and you are able to grab its head and clamp down on its jaws. It reflexively jerks against your hands, but you are able to meet its eyes.
>You can now try to influence its mind in a general way.

> Throw 5 magic stones into the river.
> Loot the wolf.

>You do not have this item.
What do you think this is?

> If that's possible while hypnotizing, speak to it calmly or sing a lullaby to calm it a bit, else just hypnotize it quietly

>You can speak to it, but you don't know if a wild animal gives a toss about language at all.

>_

[Snaka]

> Throw 5 magic stones into the river.

>Leave at least one magic stone. Thats the one that has the sanity.

>Oh, and impress calm images onto it.

[Dead Princess Sakana]

> If that's not too complex, try to influence it into accepting us as the superior animal, the 'Alpha Rabbit'

[Hello Purvis]

>Leave at least one magic stone. Thats the one that has the sanity.

>Oh, and impress calm images onto it.

>You really aren't to implant specific thoughts. But you can try to calm its mind overall.

> If that's not too complex, try to influence it into accepting us as the superior animal, the 'Alpha Rabbit'

>You aren't sure how its mind works well enough to do this with any kind of guarantee of success, or even if you can pull this kind of thing off. But it should be fairly simple-minded, unless it's old enough to be on the verge of becoming a youkai, which would help your efforts.

>_

[Snaka]

>Go on then, calm it.
>Unless you want to eat it

[Hello Purvis]

>Go on then, calm it.
>Unless you want to eat it

>You try to calm the wavelengths within it, and it stops struggling against you.
>You don't have any especial interest in eating it, having had breakfast just before you noticed your stockings were missing. Though you do appreciate the irony of it.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

>Talk to it in a soothing voice to aid the mindhax
>Call it Jeff and see if it reacts

[Dead Princess Sakana]

> Pet it a bit to show it we mean no danger

[Serela]

>If it doesn't react to being called Jeff, wonder if this could solve Ran's problem with the lack of dinner.

[Hello Purvis]

>Talk to it in a soothing voice to aid the mindhax
>Call it Jeff and see if it reacts

>You talk to it in a soothing tone, telling it to be a good wolf.
>It does not react to that name.

> Pet it a bit to show it we mean no danger

>You pet it a little, and it jerks back. Seems it doesn't like being touched.

>If it doesn't react to being called Jeff, wonder if this could solve Ran's problem with the lack of dinner.

>You don't think you could disguise a wolf as a fish. But perhaps they would be alright with this?

>_

[Dead Princess Sakana]

> Calm it further until Nitori comes back
> Think about how Kagua might react if her pet brings back a pet

[Snaka]

>No, this wolf needs to be set free. Let it go, now it has calmed down.
>Unless we want to eat it

[Kilgamayan]

>Ponder the likelihood of a fox wanting to eat a wolf

[Snaka]

>Ponder the likelihood of a rabbit wanting to eat a wolf
