Hello? Yes, are you awake? Ah good, yes, I can see you. It's been too long since Dogun summoned you. One could sleep forever in the soft blue glow of this place... You can see in your map view, it bears the shape a holy relic... but I'm afraid our entire enclave is overrun by disgusting insectoids...? We're going to need to develop a real strategy and there's little time for explanation. It's a good thing I found you before Dogun or some other ill intentioned entity! Who knows what corner of wonderland you could've found yourself in. I understand it might be a little tempting to peek beneath the bridge, but if you do, be prepared to experience one thousand fold gravity, or some other such utterly unfair nonsense. His language-less mannerisms allow him to unfeelingly observe his subjects buckle under the pressure.
Essentially I, Salve, and the other caretakers of lower floors, AIN and Ashita, have codified our corporeal bodies in order to avoid the experience of very real murder at the hands of some rather unsightly creatures. We have survived, but have lost the ability to interact with the physical world. If you've any physical strength to do so, I recommend you disembowel every last one of the foul monsters. We've really no idea where they came from, and it certainly wasn't the fault of any of us three. I can assure you, the integrity of our trinity at least is sound. 400 years, now, we have existed. Quickly then, let's be off, I shudder to think of their corrosive yellow bile staining our temple tiles.
your ARRIVAL IS TIMELY.. SUCH A MESS THESE BUMBLING CREATURES HAVE MADE OF MY MULTI-TIERED WORLD.
I SPEAK IN CAPITAL LETTERS. I LACK THE PATIENCE FOR EXPOSITION. CURRENTLY YOU RESIDE IN your SANCTUARY at THE BASE OF A CONE ENCLOSURE HOUSING A NUMBER OF floors IF YOU SUCCEED YOU WILL RETURN HERE.
SUFFICE TO SAY YOU ARE A BEING OF SOME ABILITY but THE CREATuRES YOU MEET WILL TALK DOWN TO YOU YOU ARE THE SHINY NEW HEAD OF MY MOP.
IT IS MY HOPE YOU WILL ENACT MY PLAN WITHOUT NEEDING TO BE directly TOLD. (the source of the mistake will be made clear) Flip on the lights to start your journey. Choose a master wisely.
