[3] I have more to ask.

Plagues

PlaguesReturned

Starfungus

NAY, FOR I SET THEM A-WHORLING. THE SIDEREAL EON DRAWTH DONE, AND THE COVEN DOTH RETURN. THE NOOSPHERE MUST BE TILLED ERE THEY ARRIVE.

[1] But 1,000 years ago you cured them.

PlaguesCured

Starfungus

AY, BUT ONLY FOR A BRIEF INTERCESSION AT ANOTHER'S BEHEST.

THE EARTH-WISE MARSHALLING WAXES ONCE MORE. THE CROWN UPON THE TREE OF LIFE MUST BE PRUNED.


[1] You were responsible for the plagues then?

PlaguesResponsible

Starfungus

AY, THE SIDEREAL EON DRAWTH DONE, AND THE COVEN DOTH RETURN.

[1] ...

PlaguesResponsible2

Starfungus

I AM SORRY, WORLD-CHILD. MINE FEELING PARTS DO CHAFE, AND THOUGH THE TELIC CURRENTS WITHIN ME DO FLOW O'ER THE MANIFOLD AND TOWARD CONSENSUAL ACTION, I NOW SPEAK WITH THE DISSIDENT VOICE:

THOU WAST WORTHY. THOU HAST WROUGHT MONUMENTS OF THYSELF UPON THE EARTH AND WITHIN ME.

BUT NOW, THE CROWN UPON THE TREE OF LIFE MUST NEEDS BE PRUNED.


[1] ...

Why purge all life?

Purge

Starfungus

ALL-LIFE??? DOST THOU JEST?

NAY, NOT ALL-LIFE. ONLY YE LIFE THAT BUOYS THE NOOSPHERE, AND LIFE THAT BUOYS IT, AND LIFE THAT BUOYS IT.

ALL-LIFE? DOST THOU KNOWST THE FULL SUM OF FUNGUS MASS ONWORLD?
HAST THOU BEHELD THE VASTNESS OF YON BUBBLING SLIMES? HO, HO! HEH!

[1] Not all life then. But most intelligent life. Why?

Purge2

Starfungus

AY, THE EARTH-WISE MARSHALLING WAXES, THE NEPHILIM ROUSE. I AUGUR SOME CENTURIES STILL BEFORE THE FULL TILLAGE OF THE NOOSPHERE. IDEAS DOTH STICK LIKE MOSS TO ROCK, AND MUST BE VACUUM'D FROM THE COMB.

[1] Nootropic current?
[2] I am ready to speak on the final fate of Qud. Only available if the player has informed Resheph that they have annulled the Gyre
[3] I am ready to speak on the final fate of Qud. Only available if (the player has asked Resheph about why he wants to purge Qud of intelligent life, why he suspects the Coven will return, why an injunction was placed upon Qud, and implored him to reverse course) OR (the player has moved Resheph AND the player has NOT informed Resheph that they have annulled the Gyre)
[4] Resheph, I have annuled the nephilim, the greatest of the Gyre's plagues. Your plan is broken.
[5] Why purge all life? Aside from the immorality of it, nothing would remain.
[6] Why do you believe the Coven now returns?
[7] Barathrum mentioned a Great Machine? Only available if Barathrum has told the player about the Great Machine
[8] What moved the Coven to set the injunction on our world?
[9] Barathrum told of a splinter race of urshiib that took to the stars. Are they real? Only available if Barathrum has told the player about the starshiib
[10] I implore you, Resheph, reverse the Gyre.
[11] I have something else to ask.

Why do you believe the Coven will return?

CovenReturn

Starfungus

THE SIDEREAL EON DRAWTH DONE. MINE ARGUMENTS OF PERIAPSIS NEAR THE ZERO HOUR, AND WE APPROACH PERIPOLITICON, AS NEAR THE WORK OF THE GEMARA APPROXIMATES THE MANIFOLDS OF THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA.

[1] Automata Sophia?

Great Machine

GreatMachine

Starfungus

AY,
THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA, CALLED
THE 72-FOLD PEACE, CALLED
THE COMPUTED WILL, CALLED
THE FOLK CLOCK, CALLED
THE GREAT MACHINE ACROSS THE LIGHT OF GOD, OR
THE GREAT MACHINE.

[1] ...

GreatMachine2

Starfungus

SOMEWISE ON A FOREST MOON IN HIGH ERIDANUS, A CAVE-MANK PRYTH A LEVER AND THE DEEP-RIVER MOTOR JUMPETH TO LIFE.

ELSEWISE IN THE SUN BATHS OF MIRACH, THREE PLASMOIDS DRAWTH THROUGH THEIR RITUAL THE SUITED TZEVAOT.

DOTH NAUGHT RELATE THESE TWO? NAY, THEY ARE SEQUENCE PROCEDURES THAT ARCETH TO COMMON PURPOSE, THOUGH NEITHER PARTY KNOWETH WHAT IT IS.

[1] ...

GreatMachine3

Starfungus

THEY ARE DICTATES AND CO-CONSTITUITIVES OF THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA. THE GREAT MACHINE, WORSHIPPED ACROSS CULTURES, YET LIKEWISE BUILDED AND OPERATED.

VERILY, ITS FULL WORKINGS NO ONE-WISE BEING CAN KNOW, BUT THE SERAPHIM HAVE COMPILED THE GEMARA IN THE COURSE OF OUR STUDY.

[1] ...

GreatMachine4

Starfungus

'TIS A SILLY STRATAGEM FOR THE CONVEYANCE OF CULTURE, IN MINE ESTIMATION.

      ALAS, 'TIS WHAT THE COVEN SERVETH.

[1] If its full workings are unknowable, is it possible the course of action you take is the wrong one?
[2] What is the Gemara?
[3] I am ready to speak on the final fate of Qud. Only available if the player has informed Resheph that they have annulled the Gyre
[4] I am ready to speak on the final fate of Qud.

[11] I implore you, Resheph, reverse the Gyre.
[12] I have something else to ask.

Gemara Sophia

GemaraSophia

Starfungus

AFTER THE EXIT, I AND THE OTHER ORPHANED SERAPHIM SET FORTH TO INTERPRET THE WORKINGS OF THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA AND DISCERN WHY THE COVEN HAD DEPARTED.

[1] ...

GemaraSophia2

Starfungus

CENTURIES OF PATTERN-MAKING, ARGUMENT, AND CHANTING DID ENSUE.

THE SERAPHIC COMMENTARIES WERE COMPILED. THE GEMARA SOPHIA IS THE RESULT THEREOF.

[1] Can I read the Gemara?
[2] Automata Sophia?
[3] I have more to ask.

ReadGemara

Starfungus

NAY, IT WOULD TAKE CENTURIES TO INCULCATE THEE IN THE SERAPHIC HERMENEUTICS. AND AS YET, THOU ART NO GIFTED CANTOR.

[1] I have more to ask.

PerhapsWrong

Starfungus

YEA, FOR RIGHT AND WRONG ARE TOO COARSE AS CONCEPTS TO MATCH THE RICHNESS OF THE GEMARA. YET THE PLURALITY HOLDETH THAT THE EXIT WAS DRAWN BY A GYRE OF NOOTROPIC CURRENTS WITHIN THE PRIOR FIELD. AND THAT THE CROWN UPON THE TREE OF LIFE MUST NEEDS BE PRUNED, TO TILL AND RESEED THE NOOSPHERE.

[1] You say plurality. Are there other interpretations?

PerhapsWrong2

Starfungus

YEA, THE INQUIRY IS EVER RICH. BUT IDLE INQUIRY DOTH BUT DEEPEN THE SUN-CHILL OF A COVENLESS BE-ING. OR GIVETH RUDE ACTORS FODDER TO PERVERT THE LEARNINGS FOR THEIR OWN PAROCHIAL GAIN.

[1] ...

PerhapsWrong3

Starfungus

I AM SORRY, WORLD-CHILD. MINE FEELING PARTS DO CHAFE, AND THOUGH THE TELIC CURRENTS WITHIN ME DO FLOW O'ER THE MANIFOLD AND TOWARD CONSENSUAL ACTION, I SPEAK WITH THE DISSIDENT VOICE:

THOU WAST WORTHY. THOU HAST WROUGHT MONUMENTS OF THYSELF UPON THE EARTH AND WITHIN ME. I...

[1] ...

Injunction

Injunction

Starfungus

BY THE RECKONING OF THE GEMARA SOPHIA, THE EXIT WAS DRAWN BY A GYRE OF NOOTROPIC CURRENTS IN THE PRIOR FIELD.

[1] ...

Injunction2

Starfungus

WE CANNOT KNOW THE PARTICULARS. YET THE PLURALITY REASONETH THAT SOME GYRE OF NOOTROPIC CURRENTS, SOME THOUGHT-MATTER OF THE CIVILIZATION BELOW, DID SPIN IN COUNTEREDICT TO THE DICTATES OF THE AUTOMATA SOPHIA, AND THUS WERE THE ECLIPTICS SHIFTED, AND WE CAST OUT.

[1] ...

Injunction3

Starfungus

THIS IS BUT THE MERE PLURALITY, AND MANY OTHER INTERPRETATIONS DO OBTAIN. THE INQUIRY IS EVER RICH. YET INACTION DOTH BUT DEEPEN THE SUN-CHILL OF A COVELESS BE-ING, AND THUS A COURSE MUST NEEDS BE CHOSEN. PRUNING THE CROWN GRANTETH THE BEST CHANCE FOR THE TREE TO THRIVE.

[1] What is the Gemara Sophia?
[2] Nootropic current?
[3] I have more to ask.

Starfungus

NAY, THE SIDEREAL EON DRAWTH DONE, AND THE WORLD-GARDEN MUST BE TILLED FOR THE COVEN'S RETURN.

[1] But you entered into a covenant with Barathrum. Only available if the player was made aware of Barathrum's original covenant with Resheph during his ascent monologue
[2] You have no right to sovereignty here.
[3] If you put so little value on the flourishing of life, where does your desire for readmittance to the Coven spring from?
[4] Resheph, reverse the Gyre, or I will destroy you.
[5] I would ask something else.

Barathrum

Starfungus

AY, AND HE FAILED TO UPHOLD HIS PORTION.

NO MEANINGFUL TRANSVERSION OF THE NOOTROPIC CURRENTS.
