Echo: BRAVO! BRAVO! C'MON WAKE UP! CHARLIE'S GONE, THE WINDOW'S OPEN-- C'MON WE GOTTA GO!

Bravo: *Snrk!* Hrrm, what-- what is it? Just close it yer'self man geezzzzzzz *ZzZzZ*
Echo just told Bravo Charlie's not there, and all Bravo said was to close the window himself. We need to say something with more punch.

isn't that technicaly chaining 2 & 3 together?

So basically everyone's saying go out the window, but half the crew want to yell at Bravo before or during the act, and the other half want to get his attention more physicaly?

We should make sure Bravo is following before we go out the window. I think if he knows the seriousness of the situation, he'll follow. If it takes a little physical action to make him coherent, then so be it, but we need to wake him up fast and get out that window as quickly as we can safely do it.

Nobody ever thinks about number 5...
Well, I don't either. Hopefully that's not our main mistake. But they have acted so strangely that I can't believe they'd be of much help. xD

Indeed, I think option 1 won't do it, since we tried that already... We need to get him to realize what's going on before Echo leaves the scene.

Are they sleeping upstairs? Looks like that.

Image
In this case leaving though the window might not be the best choice but the front door is slow... Charlie obviously managed to leave through the window too and the front door may be also locked. So my vote is for chaining 2 and 3 (but try to be careful).

Echo has little reason to think Charlie might be dead (as opposed to just having run away), but it's very plausible that Charlie could be injured, having just left through a second-story window.

I say that Echo tells Bravo that Charlie could be hurt, since "Charlie is gone" didn't work and, as just stated, Echo has more reason to believe Charlie ran away.

CHAOKO, you're torturing me with the weeks of suspense. :cry: If you're building up for a happy ending to this part of the story, okay; but if you're just going to make us wait to watch Charlie die - not cool.

Very sorry. I had to work on a Game Jam for 3 days straight, as well as work on Tails of Babylon to meet a certain deadline. On top of managing the production of Housepets! Fanimated at the moment, I haven't had time to ink and color the results. Especially since this one is kinda long. :oops:

No problem dude, I AM supposed to update this quite frequently, infact that was the whole point of this game. However, as we're reaching the chapters end I kind of forgot that the game requires a lot more time and attention at the end of each chapter, or at least at important or dramatic parts.

Also, that didn't take as long as i thought it would... huh.

The one that CHAOKO just basically confirmed could end up the dead puppy by the side of the river? I don't think so!

I say we shout that Charlie's in danger, tug on Bravo's arm (hopefully he cares enough about his brother to be alert by this point) and drag him to the window, then quickly but carefully exit through the window. But I highly emphasize we tell Bravo what we think is going on, or he might slow us down with questioning. I also don't think we should smack him unless he doesn't wake up at the news of Charlie's impending doom - we don't want to lower his mental state unless it's absolutely necessary; we're already facing the potential of losing lots of mental status in the near future.

So Option 2 and 3 (6 only if necessary)

Oh.

You can't decide what to do! He's not getting up fast enough! Charlie could be in danger! You don't have time! You need help! There's only one logical thing to do! You grab your collar and--

Echo: "CHARLIE RAN AWAY! HE MIGHT DIE! WE GOTTA GO! I GOTTA JUMP OUT THE WINDOW AND GO AFTER HIM!"

*The sound of thunder fills the room*

Bravo: Whoa WHOA WAIT! WHAT?! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! WHERE'S CHARLIE?! ECHO,WAIT!

You didn't catch what Bravo said, but it seems you woke him up.

Image

You jump out the window and onto the roof. You try to get your bearings, but the rain's caused the roof to be slippery! You begin to slide off!

Image

You land on a pile of garbage stacked up on the side of your house. Echo always makes sure to set the trash here in case the three of you want to sneak out for fun. However, this tends to work best when you try to climb down slowly. You imagine that if you weren't so lucky, that could have been pretty bad.

Image

It's dark. The rain is loud and heavy. Charlie could be anywhere.

There seems to be three ways he could have gone. The main path directly in front of you leads right to the lake, with a few detours. If he was headed to the lake, that's the route he would take.

However, if he was in a rush, he may have taken the shortcut the three of you found on the left. It branches out to many places in the forest, but you mostly use it to visit the more rocky area of the lake. It's a great place for hopping across stones to the other side, and there's a family of ducks that tends to visit there.

There also seems to be a break in the bushes to the right. You don't know where that leads at all, but it looks like it certainly may lead somewhere. None the less, it looks like someone's passed through it. Perhaps Charlie?

What will you do?
1) Follow the front path
2) Follow the left path
3) Follow the right path
4) Inspect paths
5) Look behind you
6) Wait for Bravo
7) Improvise
8) Switch to Bravo

Look behind you. That trash can looks like it's been slashed by claws. Looking might give us a clue what happened to Charlie while giving Bravo some time to catch up.

Not good. We're already at Orange-level danger. One more mistake could be costly.

Now, those clawmarks are making me doubt about going the right path. Could be a bobcat. Not something we want to encounter right now.

Last we had him, Charlie's mental status was Fine. I don't think he would go a less direct route to the lake.

Here's the thing; the left path is shorter, yes, but that family of ducks could be of help. That middle path seems more likely, but we'd be on our own, and it's slower. And if Charlie took the left path, we probably wouldn't be able to catch up to him.

We do have Charlie's Scent, but the rain could easily wash it away.

At the same time, karma is the last thing we should be building right now, but at least it's currently at zero. Wait for Bravo, then go the middle path. Bravo can take the left.

See, we want someone more level-headed to speak with Charlie if we manage to catch him. And if he ended up taking the shorter route, while Bravo is more volatile, that duck family could help out as well.

Before we go charging down the paths, I think we should look for paw prints (the mud from the rain would be perfect for making imprints) - have Bravo check the left path and Echo check the middle; if there are no tracks on either of those, they can both check the path to the right.

But I think Echo should take a look at that trashed trash can first - we ought to know if there's an important scent to be aware of, and Bravo needs to catch up.

Options 5 and 6 to start with - I doubt that combo will cause any trouble for now.

Just go down the middle for a quick safe path to the lake and then look for a bridge. Last I checked hereafter thereafter there was a bridge in the background.

But shouldn't we make sure which path Charlie went down before we choose one? What if he was killed at that spot? If so, we might be able to save him before he gets there.

It's a good plan, Lance, but for all we know, he might be mortally wounded and be in need of immediate medical attention. He might not get it if we wait at the place he died in the comic.

After Bravo arrives. In the meantime we can inspect the trash can. As a bonus, if we're turned around to look at the trash can, we can potentially catch Bravo if he slips like Echo did.

I'd just like to say that before I posted this, the thread had 666 posts.

Anyway, I'd say definitely 5, but also maybe 6 with that, if only because looking behind you would automatically give Bravo time to catch up.

Either inspect the paths or look behind you. Gather more information about where Charley might have gone while Bravo catches up.

Remember, treat this like a game. I don't mean don't take it seriously, I mean recognize that it has mechanics like any game. If they follow mechanics I recognize, the game rewards careful decision making which involves gathering as much information as possible before making a choice. Games like this don't usually punish you unless you make a wrong plot advancing decision.

Actually CHAOKO seems to punish failure to make a decision MORE than making the wrong one, not less. If the imaginate session is anything to go by, we get the best results when we can come up with strategically sound courses of action in as few turns as possible.

Which is why i'm staying out of this round, with the failure to get both dogs out here quickly my preferred strategy isn't possible, and i'd rather not waste time or 'split the vote' on what one to take.

As mentioned before: this game is a bit more of a TRUE choose your own adventure game. Both things you two mentioned are both true, depending on the situation. Sometimes, it may be best to take your time and investigate a scene. Others, it may be best to ignore everything and just go as straight forward as possible. However, in all situations, both options may both be viable in their own right, or they may both punish you in their own way. Investigating may greatly help you get through safely or give you knowledge/evidence for future scenes, but other events may take place at the same time that are time based locking you out of that path. On the other hand, getting through a scene as quickly as possible will assure certain things happen, but you may miss other events that required your attention that could hurt you in the long run or even immediately afterward.

There is no telling what will happen. No matter what you do, the world will move, time will pass, it will not wait for you. It's what you do in that time that shapes which path you go down. Situations you may think you fail could lead to your benefit in the future, or scenes you succeed in could come back to bite you as well. It's all in the eye of the beholder. The definition of a "good" outcome or a "bad" outcome are completely based on your opinion. It's what you consider is worth it in the end of the day.

Simply put... YOLO.
...although I guess Karma is the one thing that actually is just a punishment no matter how you look at it :lol:

-----------------------------------------

You think it best to wait for Bravo to catch up. If he's gonna be of any help, he'll need to know exactly what's going on. And now that you think of it, so will you.

You take this time to investigate the area. You noticed on the way down that the trashcan was knocked over, at the time you assumed you caused it. But now that you look at it, it's quite indented onto the ground, and the lid is full of water. The trashcan has been knocked down for quite some time. Upon further inspection, you find your eyes darting towards the deep cuts in the can. Those are, without a doubt, claw marks. At first you think Charlie may have done this, but two things contradict this: A: Charlie couldn't scratch a feather, he was de-clawed. B: Why would Charlie do this? Even if he was attacking something, he couldn't use his claws!

Something else is out here, and it is dangerous. You have to be careful and make sure you find Charlie soon.

You look at the trashbags. You sure did flatten that bag, but it did a good job at cushioning your fall. Charlie must have landed on it too, you could not have worn it out that much on your own.

You notice something metal on the ground. It seems very dented. Did it come from the trashcan, or has it been there for a while too? There are some indents in the ground near it.

Bravo hasn't arrived yet...

1) Follow the Middle Path
2) Follow the Left Path
3) Follow the Right Path
4) Inspect Paths
5) Further inspect the Metal Thing
6) Call for Bravo
7) Switch Trashbags
8) Switch to Bravo
9) Howl for Charlie
10) Improvise

Would you prefer I take another month? :P
To be fair, the final scenes are supposed to be done quite fast, as was the game in general. I know there are a lot more people who play now opposed to how many we started with, but this was always the intended pace.

If Bravo is going to dive out the window after Echo, we better replace the trash bag (make sure it's soft).

We should honestly go after Charlie since he took some damage.
What do we do now Lance?
We ascend from darkness.

Wait, "Charlie Took Minor Damage"!? Is that a typo, is it Echo's own observation giving us an update, or is it an implication that something is happening elsewhere? O_O

I think that is basically our time imit starting up....WE NEED TO MOVE ASAP or else we're gonna have a pupper taking the big nap..In a river...and wait claw marks...Big claw marks..And if we're in the south, I think I know what marks those are from...Wild cat , black bear, or wild dog..too big to be a dog..So it is either a large wild cat or black bear...Probably black bear...So we need to move fast because Bears Are Bad News is in effect it seems.

We really need to wake the dad up, he's the one with the height to reach the firearm. And every animal with any form of sense knows when the the human is carrying something metal and wooden, it's time to run..Dang we need to act fast people, NOW..But we also need to plan this out, all of us before we put in our answers..

AHHHHH! MY KNOWLEDGE OF GAME MECHANICS IS USELESS!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!

Ok, ok. calming down. If Bravo follows out of the window, he will get hurt landing on the flattened bag. Maybe switch it out? that shouldn't take much time. I don't think we should go without Bravo. The yellow alert means a risk of injury, but not of loosing a character right now. Then again, that could change at any moment. But still, two seconds to call out to Bravo and switch the bags sounds safe enough. I'm guessing whatever made the claw marks went down the unknown right path, so we definitely should NOT go there.

I will cry if we loose Charley...
