Exam: Chamber 2 (OOC)

yeah I think you get +1 wizard as nothing happens
well, "stomping mushrooms" is the game in a nutshell xD

No. The rules are explicit about when to increase the Stats. If it succeeds there is a clause to 'add 1 to Wizard', but that is part of the success wording. If it fails you follow the fail rules and they say when to 'add 1 to Wild', and 1-2 is not one of those cases.

And how do the mushrooms get in the nutshells?

If you want to add mushrooms, maybe you should have brought some from the other room? Or did you? Or are they here already and you need to find them? Or are they a metaphor?

There has to be a reason every wizard wears a hat...

@CESN: Are you just jumping blindly, hoping the next stone is 'real'?

I am not sure how to decide if it is, but maybe, assuming you acted on an instinct, a Hunch Spell will tell us if you are right or not? Or some Wild instinct/'magician's eye towards fakery' if you would prefer to roll Wild. Methinks Wild seems a tad more appropriate, here?

@bowlofspinach: You are all huddled on the next stone along from the one you moved (even, Hooligander, though we don't know how he got across (unless you are implying he is still on the last one and needs to move over here now that Ari has made space?)).

If everyone is off that one, you can try throw it.

If you want everyone to get off this rock we will have to deal with the potentially trapped ground around it. This 'second', knee-high stone is also larger than the last, ankle-high one, so it will be hard for even you to throw it any distance, but that is what Wild is for... if you can convince the dice to like you for a moment.

I am pretty strong, so that's what my wild magic would be for. Since the stone moved, the ground immediately around it should be safe, which is why I figure everyone can just get off. Or, I guess they could follow Ari if they don't die through their jump.

I offered to help everyone across who needs it, which I figured included Hooligander when you moved us ahead.

Indeed. Still, it is sticking out the ground to knee-height and probably the same or similar amount underground, and it wide enough around for all of you to be standing in a crush upon it (or a few of you comfortably). So it weights a TON. But that is what Wild is for, and will impress the judges. :)
That was the previous stone that you threw the people from. Presumably you threw them to the next rock you revealed with your magic. The ground is not safe.
Me too, since they did not act. I left it vague so they could say how they got across, or if they hadn't.

Ah, I got that mixed up then. I thought this stone had also moved.

I guess I could jump back and use the previous stone instead while the others work out the route forward, since the jump isn't a problem for me.

Since abigail said "real", Ari is totally blind jumping into a trap! I'll add a roll as I'll probably need one to avoid the said trap xD

Sure. No roll needed for that jump.

What are you actually trying to do with the stone-throwing?

To be clear: The 'fingers of stone' are (or were meant to be) like the one you are standing on. They are not (or were not meant to be) something new... unless we want them to be, then just say the word and they can be... actually, I am liking that more.

Does anyone mind if we change the 'fingers of stone' to be a new thing, distinct from the rocks you are standing on? I don't want to confuse things.

I guessed she was talking about the judges?

She was, but she wasn't being specific

Yeah. That is one of the reasons why I would like to turn them into a new thing in the scene. Makes that course of action the correct one... by pure chance. :)

It is OK for the characters to misunderstand each other. Just so long as the players meant for their words to be less than perfectly clear to the others, I don't want to 'punish' players for possibly-rushed posts.

It works out for you. Tell us what happens.

I hadn't actually seen that post with your question. I was still responding to the one before.

I don't mind. Do what feels best to you, I'd say.

@CESN: Since your Wild is already 5, I suggest you try, in your narration of what happens, to disguise this as Wizard magic. :)

If no one objects I will make more of the 'fingers', but I don't want to 'change reality' if it will disturb anyone. (Also: Anyone can PM me if they prefer.)
