Reality is unrealistic

We are in a bad situation bros. Once this is over, we'll be killed too. Our usefulness is over and done with once they have herband we know too much - much more than the man they just murdered.

We should have gone with the druj while we could. Tbh I like the druj and wanted to find out more about it. But we are out of time.

2 but screw it she's a manipulative bitch.

Severian turns away before I can finish and glares at our captive. The chained figure nods. The sensation of spectral fingers tugging at my mind, subtly guiding my thoughts this way and that, a feeling that has been with me ever since I awakened at Ash Mountain, is gone. I breathe deeply. In and out. Relief. Responsibility.

Retribution.

Mandatory:

Simply awesome.

Pilgrim's work is not yet done.

Yes, surely there is *someone* left whose life we haven't ruined yet.

Btw I picture our final grin as something like this: :troll:

Of course not.

It raises one of its hands in a mock salute.

That is the common feature of all Codex-driven characters in root LP's. Might I remind you all of Marius Hax and, ekhem Devour Soul! ?

root, bro, we all know you will use it all to hurt us one day. The Pilgrim might not care, but that does not mean the Underscape doesn't care for his deeds. And there will be a reckoning, I'm quite certain of that. But the ride, as always, is glorious.

not sure who i'm supposed to feel sorry for.

All the drowned (not to mention soul erased) Red clergy and sailors and the lost cool ships.

i mean, we've established pilgrim has been seesawing between villain and neutral for quite some time now, but it seems to be a consensus the desire to see him become a villain (which after all that he accidentally has, i suppose)

I wouldn't think he sees himself as the villain though. It wasn't his fault that any of this happened. Unleashing the druj was his last resort. He didn't want to be manipulated and mind controlled by the eyeless girl anymore. He didn't want to give up the power he had finally obtained. And if he was going to die, he wanted to take as many of his enemies with him as possible. These are all perfectly understandable, from his perspective. And as he said, it's not the world he has doomed, just the Reach. A small price in order to save the world from a false prophet that probably wanted to use the druj for her own purposes anyway.

Though, yes, he is a villain.

The pilgrim made a human, sorta, sacrifice to an idol to get power, he get along with Kurze to obtain more knowledge and power, not that he had much choice, all in all I would say that he is neutral evil and quite clueless, probably he is the most real life type of character who has ever appeared in a Codex' CYOA, unsurprisingly he is not very likable as real people usually are.

Moar?

i dont have any more support from my erstwhile partners (PBUH)

We were holding you back; this latest chapter is by far the best of the entire story so far.

Probably one? I'll go with one. Burning down the whole town doesn't seem like an action engineered to get trustworthy guides. Two should also be fine, I guess.

Awesome. Glad to see this continue. So were are now the fulfilment of our power fantasies. That went well. Guess the lives/souls of 1000s was a small price to pay.
