Act 19

Act 19

Sparkle and Lel follow Champ through the forest to the bandit camp. They approach the camp and are accosted by two bandits before they can retreat. After a chat, Sparkle and Lel are taken to the bandit leader, Bibicee.

Meeting Bibicee

Bibicee explains that Sparkle and Lel are now members of the bandit camp (it's join or die). Upon finding out that Sparkle is a healer, she asks for Sparkle's help in treated a sick bandit. Bibicee also asks Sparkle to tell the truth about who she is and Sparkle can answer in a several different ways (including the truth).

If Sparkle tells the truth then Bibicee makes note of this (she is apparently a keenly insightful person). If Sparkle lies then Bibicee will seem suspicious but will not press Sparkle for the truth. SPOILER: If Sparkle wants to engage in sexytimes with Bibicee then her only choice is to lie to her.

Fwawr Again

Sparkle attempts to heal the bandit but it does not work. Fwawr appears and tells Sparkle she's using the spell wrong. The bandit is successfully healed on the second attempt. Fwawr wants to celebrate with Human sexytimes but is interrupted by Bibicee and flees into the shadows.

Back to Bibicee

After Sparkle informs Bibicee that the bandit is in recovery, the bandit leader asks Sparkle if he said anything. Sparkle can choose to divulge the information she gleaned from the bandit or elect to keep that information to herself. SPOILER: Again, Sparkle must not tell the truth if she wants to engage in sexytimes with Bibicee.

Lel's Gone Missing

When Bibicee and Sparkle return to the staging area of the bandit camp, Brother Other reports that Lel has absconded. She apparently tricked him into going to get her something to wear and then fled into the forest.

It's clear that Bibicee is suspicious of Brother Other's story. She threatens him with castration but ultimately allows Sparkle to make the decision as to his fate.

• Let him off with a warning?
  • Brother Other will be thankful and then leave.
• Put him in jail for a while.
  • Brother Other will be less thankful and then leave.
• Castration.
  • Brother other will be rattled and confess his story was a lie.
• Wait, Lel wouldn't leave me...
  • If Sparkle is in a relationship with Lel (+/-Panki) or has at least 4 "like" points for Lel, Bibicee will believe Sparkle and force Brother Other to confess his story was a lie.
  • If Sparkle does not have any of the prerequisites above, Bibicee will dismiss Sparkle's assertion and Brother Other will leave.

Regardless of the outcome of above, Bibicee will take Sparkle to search Brother Other's "sanctum" for clues. There it is discovered that Lel has been put into a deep sleep that will erode her memories. Sparkle uses the Mindfuck spell in an attempt to help Lel.

Deep In Lel

Sparkle lives through a very meaningful (i.e. tragic) day in Lel's life. The choices during the Mindfuck are self-explanatory and straightforward.

Thanks to Sparkle's intervention, Lel awakens with minimal memory loss.

Out of the Sanctum

Sparkle, Lel, and Bibicee leave the sanctum. Bibicee goes off, presumably to deal with Brother Other. After untying Lel's ropes and a brief chat on the subject of the recent Mindfuck, Lel says that she's getting cold. The two go off in search of clothing for her.

Godwile Again

Sparkle and Lel speak to Godwile, the lady bandit that they met when they first approached the camp. They explain that Lel needs clothing but the bandit has no interest in providing her any.

• If Sparkle is in a relationship with Lel or Panki+Lel
  • Sparkle will experience an urge to comfort her shivering lover and will cast "Passion" on pure impulse
  • Both Sparkle and Lel are surprised by the spell
  • The spell warms and comforts Lel
  • Sparkle will have a chance to talk Lel out of getting dressed

Dress Up Lel

Godwile will relent and agree to get Lel some clothes but asks what style of outfit she would like. When Lel is unhelpful with an answer, the bandit asks Sparkle instead.

• Whatever's warm...?
  • Lel will return in conservative a dress and frock.
  • This outfit is decent for sneaking.
• A jacket...?
  • Lel will return in a jacket, shorts, gloves, stockings, and a hat.
  • This outfit is not suitable for sneaking.
• Uh... something dark!
  • Lel will return basically dressed like a ninja who has lost her pants.
  • This outfit is great for sneaking.
• Not much.
  • Lel will return in bright red lingerie.
  • This outfit is definitely not suitable for sneaking.

We Need a Plan

Sparkle and Lel have to decide which of them is going to cause a distraction and which of them is going to escape the camp.

There are only two ways Sparkle can be the escapee:

• Sparkle is not owned by anyone and Lel is wearing the "jacket" outfit.
• Sparkle is not owned by anyone and Lel is wearing the "lingerie" outfit.

Otherwise Sparkle will have to make the distraction.
