>>5127771>The Pathless Labyrinth(The hidden trait goes beyond the ability to sense others through walls. The hidden trait is actually to involuntarily sense NPC thoughts, desires, wants, needs, secrets... the relevant section is here
>>5122139I would also have accepted this section
>>5124723This trait is destroyed and lost forever.
The Magus will never recover or possess this power again)
(In return for some of the solutions now, there might be a darker future ahead...)
You feel like you are trapped in a Pathless Labyrinth right now. There is no way out. How can you convey to Yargai exactly what you are, what you need, that you are the Magus, without using writing with words, speaking with words, typing it on your phone? You think of the spell Skin Scribe. But even that spell would involve sending the words, etching them on skin. And if you expend the tattoo spell now, how will you ever get your magic back? It seems impossible.
You know you are being hunted by the Orationists. What is their sorcery like? They have power over words, speech and thoughts. Do they need to see you to execute you instantly? Or just hear you? They discovered your last location, but you moved quickly to the Art Gallery. You must have avoided them! They could not possibly be nearby. But given their power over words and thoughts, perhaps the sorcery of the Orationists involves giving speeches. Swaying others with their words, like on television or live video interviews?
>>5125985The video interview makes you think of the autoplaying news video, the unpleasant-smelling yet devoted Underpants Cultist friend of yours. But wait - you still have those underpants! Wasn't there a strange label inside them?
>>5121993You walk up to Yargai, and
>point at the strange label, without saying any words>point at: meet MAGUS(this unspoken and unwritten action breaks the ability of the Orationists to execute you instantly. They will still try to kill you however)
Yargai narrows his eyes at you suspiciously. You notice on his tattooed face, under his eye, there is what looks like a twisting serpent.
>>5127714Yargai says simply:
Not here.
You follow Yargai out of the Art Gallery.
