@CESN: We are still waiting for your to show us your successful landing on the real stone that you jumped to, and how you disguise it as being definitely nothing other than Wizardly power that you used to get there. [ref]
oh! I totally forgot about this post!

I'm sure Ari will be impressed by your genius
Some geniuses were simply born to impress :D

Hey. I was just saying that those were the odds of getting rude gesture. I was not hinting that it was something you should do. It will not have any significant effect on the outcome. :)
May 12, 2023 12:17 pm
But if we can magically make a bird appear, then that should impress the judges a lot, right?
May 12, 2023 12:19 pm
True, true.

But think of the children!

Abby can make birds. just not that kind

@The_Librarian The stone fingers that you are 'moving' are different to the stones you are jumping to. Though Alakassandra did 'move' one of the jumping stones and throw it at the stone fingers.

Apologies for in case there is any confusion.

Any chance we can get a sketch of the location? Lol it is a bit hard to visualize.

Not likely... unless you guys make one.
nezzeraj says:

I will try for a better description. Details not provided are undefined and you guys can use that to your advantage.

1. The floor is lava! (Well... technically 'trapped'.)
2. Only the stones are safe to step on.
3. Not all stepping stones are safe, some are illusions.
4. In the near-distance there are stone fingers sticking up from the ground.
5. You have found that you can move/manipulate the stone fingers.
6. You don't yet know what the purpose of the stone fingers is.
7. The mountains are fake.
8. The trees appear to be red herrings... though not literally.

So totally hit me that the finger are like levers or something which switch the illusions on and off so we can jump past the lave floor 🤔 still! Release the birds!

Possibly... There is still the unrealised (now revealed as 'make something up') 'Added Challenge' dice to deal with. :)
CESN says:

OK. They are now. :)
CESN says:
... switch the illusions on and off ...
And maybe do other things if you get the wrong/right combination? Yeah.
CESN says:
... Release the birds!
If you insist. :)

(in RP)Of course!
*waves her Wand and does something to summon birds
What are you trying to do?

Anyway, it fails spectacularly, you must add 1 to Wild (you were not very convincing:). Please describe your intent and, if you can, describe how it fails.

well, someone is going to be accidentally falling off a cliff soon...

OOC:
That next stone where Abigail is is too big to throw, right?
It is probably the size of a small car. Even with 'magic', do you think it is reasonable to be able to throw it? I won't disallow it, but this game does not have mechanisms for adjusting roll difficulties based on the task, so if you can try it, that makes is 'as easy' as the smaller stones.

I think there should be a limit on what we can do. But am open to hearing all y'all's ideas.
May 23, 2023 8:17 am
I'm okay with saying that it's unreasonable and trying other things. Just rolling to throw a rock over and over is not a very fun resolution anyway. Better to have to try multiple different things.
So that's why I'd rather throw Abby this time 🙃

Ari and Hooligander are the closest to the two remaining erect stone fingers. Closing them has definitely had some effect on the arena, but you still don't know if that is a positive or negative one.
Closest but not close enough to jump there right?

Yep. That is why they are getting bigger and bigger.

With the right magic you could try jump to there. You want to try land on the finger?

The stepping stones could get you right up close if you can find a safe route.
