Nitori Quest 3 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[It's Purvis!]

> Welp, that sounds pretty out of our skillset.
> "I'll keep that in mind. Okay, let's have a look around."

>"How do you want to do this?" Rise asks, as she starts to guide the junk toward the nearby planets. You have to move a little to make room for the sails.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Have a look around at the planets in the area. What methodology looks most efficient?

[It's Purvis!]

> Have a look around at the planets in the area. What methodology looks most efficient?

>None of them are much larger than Lamplighter's home. One is fairly grassy, another seems to be home to a single ridge and some scraggly plants, and the third has a pond. As for the best way, that depends on what you want to do.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Let's say we want to spend the least amount of time traveling from planet to planet. What's the best route for that?

[It's Purvis!]

> Let's say we want to spend the least amount of time traveling from planet to planet. What's the best route for that?

>Ridge planet, then grassy, then the one with the pond

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "As quickly as possible. Let's start over there."
> Point at the ridge planet.

>"Do you have any kind of earth dweller tricks you're going to do?" Rise says, as she sets the vessel into motion.

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we have anything that would make searching easier?
> Did we at least grab our telescope? Presumably we would have thought to bring it for a visual investigation process...

>You have your telescope with you.
>Otherwise, you do not have any specifically search-related tools.

[Kilgamayan]

> Pull out our telescope to show it off.

[It's Purvis!]

> Pull out our telescope to show it off.

>"Oh, that's not bad," she says. "See if there's any worth landing on?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Sure, I can do that."
> Use our telescope to focus on the ridge planet.

[It's Purvis!]

> "Sure, I can do that."
> Use our telescope to focus on the ridge planet.

>You do so, as Rise sails toward it.
>You notice that this planet also spins, but it seems to be quite a bit slower than Lamplighter's planet. Looking over the surface methodically, nothing really seems to jump out at you. It's just kind of barren, except for the scrub brush.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Mmm...I'm not seeing anything of interest on that one. Really, I'm not seeing anything period beyond the brush."
> Point at the grassy planet.
> "Let's try this one next."
> Make a prompt if Rise actually follows our instructions and starts steering toward the grassy planet.

>"Alright. I already looked it over, but fresh eyes and everything," she says, as she starts to swing toward the grassy planet.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Right, I understand."
> Use our telescope to focus on the grassy planet.
> As we travel: "So, hey. You ever thought about visiting Gensokyo?"

[Branneg Xy]

>Did Lamplighter not mention and point to the direction of "a planet where her boss resides" and "another valuable one with beautiful roses"?
Considering the similiarities, direction,range,distance,descriptions...could those the "ridge planet" and "grassy planets" be those planets?

[It's Purvis!]

> "Right, I understand."
> Use our telescope to focus on the grassy planet.
> As we travel: "So, hey. You ever thought about visiting Gensokyo?"

>You start to focus on the grassy planet. At a first glance, nothing catches your eye.
>"I've been there," she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh. Did you get to see anything good while you were there?"

[It's Purvis!]

>Did Lamplighter not mention and point to the direction of "a planet where her boss resides" and "another valuable one with beautiful roses"?

>You doubt it. She indicated they were further into the planet belt.

> "Oh. Did you get to see anything good while you were there?"

>"Uh, plenty of things," she says. "But it'd probably be a problem if I went into it in detail."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Only if you burned the cucumber gardens. Or if you went to a heretic convention. ...You didn't go to a heretic convention, did you?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "Only if you burned the cucumber gardens. Or if you went to a heretic convention. ...You didn't go to a heretic convention, did you?"

>"What?" Rise says. "I meant it would be a problem back home."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh. Well, hey, I ain't no snitch, but if you really don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Is it the whole purity thing or whatever?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "Oh. Well, hey, I ain't no snitch, but if you really don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Is it the whole purity thing or whatever?"

>"Don't wanna get into it more than that," she says. "I have enough trouble as it is."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Still nothing of interest on the grassy planet?
> "Alright, that's fair. In that case, I don't suppose there's anything you can tell me about the delivery that another group from Gensokyo is making to the Lunar Capital?"

> "Alright, that's fair. In that case, I don't suppose there's anything you can tell me about the delivery that another group from Gensokyo is making to the Lunar Capital?"

>"Wait, how do you know about that?" You can almost hear the surprised look she must be giving you.
>At a glance, you're not finding anything interesting. You do notice the grass is quite tall and could hide any number of things. You also notice it doesn't show any signs of being trampled or disturbed that you can see.

[Kilgamayan]

> "I have connections sometimes. I'm not going to do anything about it, so don't worry about that. I'm not stupid. But anything you happen to know about it that you can share would be appreciated."

[It's Purvis!]

> "I have connections sometimes. I'm not going to do anything about it, so don't worry about that. I'm not stupid. But anything you happen to know about it that you can share would be appreciated."

>"Well, it's not supposed to be all that well known to start with," Rise says. "I guess it's impossible to keep it completely under wraps, though."

[Kilgamayan]

> "I mean- Okay, so, I'll be honest, I tried to play it cool, but I really only found out by lucky coincidence. Other than me, I'd bet only the parties directly involved are aware of it. Well, and probably Yukari Yakumo, since she keeps track of everything. But, anyway, the deal is- and I won't be offended if you don't care, I'm just trying to provide context. The deal is that I'm in a contest with those couriers working with the Lunar Capital, to see who can bring the most valuable object back to Gensokyo from space. Given they're doing courier work for the literal Lunar Capital, it's a good bet their contest submission is going to be whatever the Capital is sending to, uh."
> Purse our lips a bit in thought.
> "Oh, to hell with it, there's no way you don't know. Whatever the Capital is sending to Miss Houraisan and Doctor Yagokoro."
