Tortured Prothesis |
Please stop… It hurts… It hurts so much…! |
 |
Scourging Inquisitor |
Hah. This one speaks of suffering. |
 |
Interrogative Inquisitor |
It must be a false cry. Pay it no mind. |
|
|
Tortured Prothesis |
No… The pain… It’s real, I swear… |
|
|
Scourging Inquisitor |
Did it not hurt to attach these impurities to your flesh? Did your conscience not scream as you rejected your humanity? |
|
|
Interrogative Inquisitor |
Enough. This one is too far gone to repent. |
|
|
Interrogative Inquisitor |
Does the absence of tears not say enough? This one is only pretending to confess. |
|
|
Tortured Prothesis |
No, wait! I can… I can shed tears! So I beg you, please… |
|
|
Scourging Inquisitor |
We can afford to verify, can we not? |
|
|
Interrogative Inquisitor |
…Hm. Indeed, for a genuine effusion of sorrow suggests humanity. |
|
|
Tortured Prothesis |
Thank you… Thank you so much… |
|
|
Interrogative Inquisitor |
Now, we shall lift your eye. |
|
|
Scourging Inquisitor |
Their heretical depravity knows no bounds; they’ve gone so far as to make vile devices that mimic tear glands. We must see with our own true eyes that this isn’t the case. |
|
|
Scourging Inquisitor |
We will let you go if we can confirm that your eye socket is indeed of flesh and blood. |
|
|
Tortured Prothesis |
Wha… No—stop!!! |
 |
RODION |
…Huzzah! |
|
|
Scourging Inquisitor |
Gah… Ngh… |
|
|
Interrogative Inquisitor |
…You heretics truly are like pests. |
|
|
Interrogative Inquisitor |
Never alone, with a habit of constantly obstructing our great task; you are kindred creatures indeed. |
|
|
RODION |
What? I wanted to take charge for once. |

…C’mon Saude, let’s get out of here. You’ll be okay… Just gotta stop the bleeding, and… get you patched up. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Right. I’ll get a tourniquet… |
|
|
Saude |
Don’t be stupid. I can hardly lift a finger |
|
|
Saude |
Besides, those Inquisitors will keep on coming, won’t they? You guys need to keep moving down. |
|
|
Saude |
I’ll hold them off here. You should go. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
You can’t—You can’t do that… |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
You said yourself that you can hardly lift a finger. I can’t let you watch our backs when you’re in such a mess… Please? |
|
|
Saude |
You know… in moments like this… you’re supposed to just nod at me and be on your way. |
|
|
Saude |
Why do you care so much about the one who volunteered to stay behind? |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
You can’t… You can’t just… |
|

Saude |
Aw… You’re making this pretty awkward, you know that? Here I thought I could have a cool farewell. |

Faust, please take these absolute dorks out of here. |

I’ll make sure to give Vergilius your regards. |

E.G.O Corrosion has wrested them. |
|
|
GREGOR |
You mean that nauseating state…? |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
I think it happened to me in battle once when I was on the verge of a breakdown… It was like I was being devoured. |
|
|
FAUST |
Although it’s not quite like consumption in the conventional sense… I do suppose that it is a serviceable analogy, seeing as it eats away at your essence. |
|
|
FAUST |
…And in observation, unlike the last floor, this place does not seem to be exclusively for torturing prosthesis users. |

It would be fair to say that its purpose is to induce Corrosion unto oneself. |

Story Dungeon Events[]
An Old Room with a Clockwork Mechanism[]
There’s a machine in this dilapidated room.
A long, bulky lever is at the center of the machine adorned with springs.
The urge… to pull it… is growing… stronger… and stronger.
What will you do?
Use the machine. 50% chance for a positive effect; 50% chance for a negative effect Putting a spontaneous thought into action is as impulsive and uninhibited as a child reaching for off-limits marshmallows. When you pull down the lever, a clack follows soon after. The springs begin to turn, some slow, some quick. Some clockwise, others counter-clockwise. Watching the machine’s rumble grow wilder, you feel anxious. |
Pull the lever. 50% chance to gain an E.G.O Gift. Failure results in HP and SP damage.
Success Chance: 50%  Check PassedThe machine stopped at last. E.G.O Gift Torch Stack earned!  Check FailedThe machine stopped at last. All allies took 5 HP and 15 SP damage! |
Leave the room. You’re not a child anymore. You can resist simple impulses like this. It’s never a good idea to fall for temptation without a second thought. “Yeah, good thinking.” You and the Sinners left the room. Nothing happened. |
Gifts[]
 |
Torch Stack Start the next 3 battles with 3
 Haste. Expires afterward |
The First Gate[]
You see a large gate in the distance.
There’s something eerie about the pointed fences and stone walls.
It looks to be the only way through this area, but it’s guarded by a large number of Inquisitors.
Is there anything we can do about them?
Strike them from behind. Run a Pride check, then begin a combat encounter. Pass to buff all allies and reduce the number of waves by 1. The forest is dense, but there are still gaps within it. If we tread carefully, we might be able to strike the Inquisitors from behind. It’d give us a considerable advantage in the upcoming battle.
Who’s best suited for sneaking about the forest for an ambush?
Check Passed[Sinner] slowly walked into the woods. Enemy waves reduced by 1 for the next battle. At the start of the next battle, All Ally Units gain 3 Attack Power Up. Combat Encounter! Win the next battle to gain E.G.O Gift A Sign! Check Failed[Sinner] slowly walked into the woods. The Sinner who failed the check took 10 HP damage! Combat Encounter! Win the next battle to gain E.G.O Gift A Sign! |
Distract them. Run a Lust check, then begin a combat encounter. Pass to reduce the number of waves by 2. We might be able to distract them by making some noise. The problem is how to go about it… “Hear ye, hear ye—for I have a plan!” Might as well hear her out. …You’re not sure if it’s the best idea exactly, but it might not hurt, either.
Then, who will be in charge of putting it into action?
Check Passed[Sinner] made their move. Enemy waves reduced by 2 for the next battle. Combat Encounter! Win the next battle to gain E.G.O Gift A Sign! Check Failed[Sinner] made their move. The Sinner who failed the check took 10 HP damage! Combat Encounter! Win the next battle to gain E.G.O Gift A Sign! |
Confront them directly. Begin a combat encounter with all 3 waves. Sometimes, the simplest solution is best. Separating a Sinner from our group to attempt some silly trick might end up putting us at a disadvantage. Let’s face them head-on. Combat Encounter! Win the next battle to gain E.G.O Gift A Sign! |
Gifts[]

A Sign Sinclair’s determination to stand up to Kromer. After three strokes have been drawn…

Before a Sealed Door[]
A steel door rests on one side of the room.
It looks too thick to be easily broken or breached with force.
“There’s gotta be something totally valuable through here if it’s guarded this tight~!”
The Sinner might be right, treasure might be waiting behind the door.
What should you do?
Open it with force. Run a Wrath check. Pass to open a new path on the map. The steel is thick, but it might not be impossible for a Sinner to move it ajar. Who would be the right person to do that?
Who could open this door?
Check Passed[Sinner] pushed at the door with all their might. The Sinner who passed the check healed for 20 SP! There’s a new path on the map! Check Failed[Sinner] pushed at the door with all their might. The Sinner who failed the check took 10 HP and 10 SP damage! |
Look around for a solution. Run a Sloth check. Pass to open a new path on the map. There’s got to be some way through other than brute force. Perhaps a thorough look around could reveal something.
An attentive Sinner would be good at this…
Check Passed[Sinner] looked around the door. The Sinner who passed the check healed for 20 SP! There’s a new path on the map! Check Failed[Sinner] looked around the door. The Sinner who failed the check lost 20 SP! |
Leave the room. It should be safer to stick to the known path rather than take unnecessary risks. “Aww~ I swear that something’s gotta be in there!” Though some Sinners complained, you persuaded them into letting it go. Nothing happened. |
Gifts[]
Obtained after clearing Forgotten Passage
 |
Old Warehouse’s Key Used in certain events. Expires on use.
|
A Room Full of Crates[]
Dozens of old, broken crates littered the floor.
“Eyuck, cobwebs…”
Clearing things away, you found three particularly large crates buried underneath.
“These are all locked.”
“Looks like the keyholes have the same shape!”
“…Alas, the key is of a soft constitution. It won’t be feasible to use it again once it has been inserted into a lock.”
Sounds like you get only one try.
Which one should you open?
Open the first crate. Gain an E.G.O Gift that boosts defense. “This is…” The crate contained a worn helm. “Oho?! ‘Tis the proper equipment of a knight, is it not?!” One Sinner excitedly rubs the helm clean. Not a bad haul, all things considered. We carried the helm (and our Sinner infatuated by it) and left the room. Old Warehouse's Key Expired! E.G.O Gift Topfhelm earned! |
Open the second crate. 50% chance to gain an E.G.O Gift that boosts Tremor attacks.
Success Chance: 50% Check Passed“This is…” Old Warehouse's Key Expired! E.G.O Gift Hammer earned! Check Failed“…Empty?” Old Warehouse's Key Expired! Nothing happened. |
Open the third crate. 50% chance to gain an E.G.O Gift that boosts Bleed attacks.
Success Chance: 50% Check Passed“This is…” Old Warehouse's Key Expired! E.G.O Gift Nagel earned! Check Failed“…Empty?” Old Warehouse's Key Expired! Nothing happened. |

Who Judges the Judge[]
The N Corp. Inquisitors were busy torturing someone.
“GIAAAAH!”
A filtered scream fills the cramped room.
Their victims are people with prosthetic bodies.
“……”
Sinclair didn’t utter a word, but his eyes full of wrath and fear were fixed on the torturers.
He breathed heavily at irregular intervals, his body shaking; he looks like he might charge forth at any second.
Do you stop him?
Or…
Wait for the torture to end. Certain Identities lose SP “While the scene is horrible to behold, we are no valiant knights. A wise manager wouldn’t risk losing all their Sinners over some juvenile impulse. In that case… “…Understood.” Sinclair gave you a vexing glare as you placed a hand on his shoulder, but he soon hung his head low and assented. …Hopefully, this was the right call. You decided to watch and wait until the torture was over. Sinclair lost 50 SP! Don Quixote lost 15 SP! |
Stop the torture. Run a Wrath check, then begin a combat encounter. Use Sinclair for the check to gain ‘A Sign’. Pass to weaken all enemies. “We may not be valiant knights. Yet, even casting morals aside, we will have to fight them to move on. “…Do you really mean it?” When you explain your plan to Sinclair, he looks back at you with surprise. “I thought you would stop me…” He spoke anxiously, but he seemed nevertheless happy with the decision. “Got it. I’ll do it.” Sinclair sprinted to where the Inquisitors were alongside the other Sinners. Sinclair gained 30 SP! Don Quixote gained 10 SP! “Heretics! The heretics have appeared!” As the Sinners approached, the Inquisitors cast their victims aside to charge at us. “You bastards!” Sinclair stood against them at the forefront. But, that hammer might be too big for Sinclair’s weapon to stop.
Should Sinclair really deal with it? Or, should you order another Sinner to repel the attack?
Check PassedYou figured it’d be best to ask [Sinner] to do it. Combat Encounter! All enemies are inflicted with 5 Attack Power Down! Check Passed - SinclairAfter all, this is his fight first and foremost. Win the next battle to gain E.G.O Gift A Sign! Combat Encounter! All enemies are inflicted with 5 Attack Power Down! Check FailedYou asked [Sinner] to deflect the attack, but… The Sinner who failed the check took 15 HP damage! Combat Encounter! |
