Part 18: D Ending (Game Over)

D Ending

So a slight clarification on Plume usage - you're generally not supposed to use the Plume too much. On the B and C paths, you're supposed to use the Plume at most once per chapter. In fact, here's the scene after you use the Plume the first time in The Saintess:

Rarely is your voice so filled with uncertainty.

Forgive my incompetence, my lord.

I know your competence all too well. A menace capable of confounding you is no doubt worthy of our attention.

Continue to keep watch discreetly. We must endeavor to avoid commotion, but should you sense the power grow-



As you command.

It is not you who have failed, for he was yours to feast upon, my pet. You shall have to be more careful next time.

Perhaps then you might sink your teeth into succulent flesh, and savor its sanguine sweetness to your delight.



And from there you get returned to the title screen. Well done!

But seriously, don't Plume too much if you don't want to attract the wrath of angry gods.
