What do you mean making life or death decisions for countless lives is hard? I do it all the time, Belissar! What do you mean, video games don’t count?
What’s that?
If video games counted then what about the war crimes?
…
That’s a good point...I-I mean what war crimes? There are no war crimes here. Pay no attention to the Rimworld or Stellaris subreddits. I have no relation to those people, obviously.
Anyways!

Definitely not. I’m sure such a choice will have no consequences whatsoever!

And congrats Belissar, your plan wasn’t completely dumb! You are at least as smart as another frontier peasant we know! Smarter even, given your first plan wasn’t suicidal!

Yes Belissar, we already know you made the wrong choice. Everyone knows mechanical clockwork puppets are far more efficient at terminating shades. But well, you’ll just have to live with it. Now you gotta fight with some flowers and a bunch of bees that will make us very upset if they die, so your idea better be a good one!

2023-10-03 06:05:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe gateway then slammed shut, locking the Hunger out once again.
The black tendrils’ spread through both the core room and the meadow began to slow down, until they eventually stopped. The entire Tower fell silent.
Beginning cleansing.
Belissar slowly rose to his feet as the rumbling stopped. He glanced at the black tendrils within the core room, but they didn’t move any further. He glanced in the core, but there was no sign of the monster. He crept to the door...

2023-10-03 02:05:01 +0000 UTC View PostBelissar walked back over to where his monster bee was still making her first little hive. His heartbeat slowed and his mind calmed as he watched the bee buzz around, and little comb cells take shape.
So, he was trapped here, waiting either for the gods to judge him or for the Tower to purify the Hunger surrounding it. Oh, and the local Tower Lord’s son had burned his village to the ground, cutting down everyone in it, including himself.
Belissar frowned. He wasn’t particularl...

“Ok then...we’ll finish the, um, room or whatever. Now...how do I actually do that?”
As he thought, his vision went white.

A moment later, he found himself...floating above a field of flowers. He gasped, but he wasn’t falling. He was...flying? How was that possible?
He tried to look down at himself for any hints and gasped again. He...couldn’t see his body. At all. But as he focused on it, he realized ...
2023-10-02 22:05:00 +0000 UTC View PostWell, calling a single story building a “tower” was a bit of an exaggeration, but Belissar couldn’t mistake the material, the perfectly smooth and round exterior, or the glowing sphere held by a ring of stone at the top. Descriptions of the Towers were taught to frontier children, illustrations filled every book on the subject, and stylized designs adorned the crests and banners of every Tower Lord.
Moreover...the moment he saw it in the sphere, and the “Dungeon Status” before...

Had it all been a dream?
Just then, vivid memories passed through his mind. He could smell the smoke of flames just outside his window...and the scent of blood. He heard the screams of the villagers, the roar of burning houses, and the angry shouts of soldiers. He could se...
