In your mind yet another difficult problem is emerging. You need Yargai to provide you with magic weapons, to help you restore your own magic back. But you are also being hunted by the Orationists. Their seers could be listening to you right now... or not. But if you declare yourself openly as the Magus, the Orationists will find and execute you.
>>5126349 They already know your last location at Floor 26, the Ace of Wands. They are searching for you there... How can you let Yargai know who you are, without saying out loud who you are? Could you just type it on your phone? (
>>5126367 )
You are pulling out your phone, preparing to desperately implement your brilliant plan to use social media to bring about the downfall of the corrupt charity CEO Robert Alle, before your phone battery drains to nothing... And another loud auto-playing popup video blares out across the gallery, only this time, it is at the worst possible time:
(Unknown newscaster) ...in other news, the authorities are still investigating a mysterious series of robberies where a heavily armed masked individual wearing what can only be described as underpants on their head has been stealing clothes and indecently exposing himself in front of passersby at a local church. Eyewitnesses say this crazed masked vigilante fled on foot when approached for identification by...
(battery phone charge -3% to 13% remaining)
The video is actually not that loud. But in the silence of the gallery it is enough to alert Yargai.
You are frantically trying to swipe the smudged screen to mute the speakerphone... Yargai the Dealer turns and looks at you again. He wordlessly turns back and looks at one of the pictures in the gallery near the entrance (QM: this one, pic related
>>5121872 ) In his accented, slightly slurred voice, Yargai asks:
What do you see in this picture?
(optional response: )
>It is just a city, at night>The Crowd>The Pathless Labyrinth>Rebellion>Idolatry>Pleasure>Sacrifice>God>The Serpent>Sin>Vanity>A Mirror>Myself>(something else...? The tattooed face >>5127402 of Yargai turns away again from the gallery picture, and looks straight at you, in the eyes)>(stay silent)(QM: All the clues you need should be referenced in this very section.)
>If you know how to let Yargai know you are the Magus and need his help, but without speaking or saying it, write-in now.>If you know a hidden, as yet undescribed trait of the Magus, write-in when you last used it and you will remember and manifest this power once again now. (QM: this one might be very difficult, >>5125726 )If you mention you are the Magus, the Orationist hunting you in this building will execute you instantly.
>Say you are the Magus and accept True Death, let the Orationist assassin execute you - it is the Curse Of The Betrayer. (QM: Ends the game)
