>>5931994[Hero]: “Did Mid-Boss do something to her?”
[(Muh)Autism]: “Uh, yes and no, she was pretty in control when we rescued her, but then she had to make her way through that giant crater we made when we fought his Dragon form. Given that we messily devoured his shard and tore apart his body the place must have been heavy contaminated with the stuff.”
“I think the god dust contaminating her being is dissonant with the rest of her body which is why she is being driven to madness.”
“What can be done?”
“Her condition is beyond me,” said Malchus. “If it weren’t for Eliza I might not have even diagnosed it correctly.”
“I think I might be able to do something but I’ll need to bring her to Rytholm,” said Eliza.
“Nero! Stop fucking around and help me,” screamed Althea.
“Is that even feasible?” Asked Malchus. “The god dust will eventually twist her body as well as her mind. Transporting her to Rytholm will take time, and even then you can’t even guarantee you can help her.”
[Hackerman]: “If we let Eliza take her we’ll never see her again. The Rythvanes will almost certainly experiment on her, and even if they somehow ‘cure’ her they’ll be wanting to run endless tests.”
[Diplomancer]: “Althea is our subject, abducting her under false pretences would be destroy the relationship between the two houses, maybe even lead to war.”
[Stonks]: “How far would Rythvane go for knowledge? Real politik dictates there’s a very real chance that they would be willing to anger us; with Kireon on our doorstep we have very little leverage.”
[Hero]: “We can’t let them take her.”
[Edge]: “And what is the alternative? Having her suffer in our dungeon? At least with Rythvane she has a chance, might even get us some political capital.”
[Dragon]: “This one stinks of my essence.”
[Monke]: “Holy shit it talks in coherent sentences now!”
[Dragon]: “Syphon my essence away from your pet, make me whole.”
[(Muh)Autism]: “Hey, didn’t Eliza say that Althea was suffering because the god dust was ‘dissonant’ what if we harmonized it?”
[Stonks]: “Is that wise? The mages say god dust is what makes monsters, there’s no telling what leaving that stuff on her will do.”
[Dragon]: “My power is not for others!”
[You]: “If your power can save my friend then I will use it!”
[Dragon]: “HAHA! Try it mortal, I will have my due from you sooner or later.”
>What to do with Althea?>Syphon the god dust from her. (Will lower the Dragon DC)>Harmonize the god dust within her. (Will lower the Dragon DC)>Allow Eliza to take her to Rytholm.>If voting to Syphon or Harmonize, also specify if you want Malchus, Eliza or both to leave the dungeon while you do it.
