Exam: Chamber 2 (OOC)

By the rules 'The spell peters out and doesn't do anything', but that would violate causality (or someone else would need to boost Ari) so are we OK with having the stone work, but slightly inconvenience both characters?

Oh, I see you added a failure to your post. Those can be hard to notice and can get ignored. If you instead add a new post then it is clear to everyone that something is new (and what).

Who will step up and give Ari a hand to get up and over there?

I'll take a look when I'm home from work
Or unmark the minor edit box. That also makes it obvious

I did unmark the minor edit box. Also I usually post when most others are asleep so they'd be unlikely to have seen the first post before the edit.

That only helps with 'that' not 'what'. We still have to guess what was changed or is new, or notice that more than just the mentioned roll was added.
There is no way you can know that. Once something has been put out onto the internet we have to assume it has been read.

Well I don't have the energy or time to argue about it. I'm not really enjoying the game anyway so I'm just going to withdraw. Best of luck.

Sorry to hear that.

How is everyone else feeling? This has run a bit longer than I expected. Do we want to finish this test/Chamber and treat it as the final one to deiced your futures, or go on to the next one after (possibly as the final)... or call it quits here?

I'm OK with calling this the last chamber

Yea, I'm okay with ending it after this challenge.

But does this mean Ari's love will forever be unreciprocated? 😢

OK. We will pretend two chambers was always the plan.

I just hope it does not give them some sort of dread complex.

@CESN: I don't see much attempt to hide your use of Wild Magic, or make it look like Wizard Magic [ref]. There really was not a lot of time.

Can you think of how you might hide it, or does your Wild go up to 6?

I was thinking about the magic words and the showmanship to distract everyone from paying to much attention is if works. Though I only added the confetti after I posted xD Let me know if that works

Surely your 'showmanship' is part of your non-Wizard Magician background/Class, it is how you do you Wild Magic. Your using that is why it draws their attention to your action and increases their suspicion. That is the opposite of 'disguising' your actual Class.

Remember, you can use your Props to reduce your Wild, though probably not until you have a quiet moment. You can also use your Props to increase your Wizard, making you more likely to succeed at proper Wizard Magic, thus reducing their suspicion and bringing your Wild down to 2.

Obviously badly failing a Wizard Spell when your Wild is at 6 is dangerous, since that can increase your Wild. But others can choose to Cover for you and take the consequences to their Wild instead (if that makes sense in the story).

Sorry a bit busy this week and forgot to answer this post! I'll try to get back to it during the weekend :D

No worries.

So, does anyone have any ideas how to proceed from here? I thought closing the hand was a good idea, but that's all been undone now since it can just move itself again. What else could we even do with it? I guess give it something? But we don't have anything.

So I'm just entirely out of ideas.

maybe we can sit on the hand? I have no idea either

You never finished closing the hand before approaching it. (Though that might just change it from slapping to punching?)

'Real' Wizards definitely get Hunches? (hint, hint)

If we want to subvert the setting a bit, there was definitely something to the idea of this being fake (or absurd, as Abigail put it most recently). If you all choose to go to 6 Wild at once (you are poised for it, so now is the time), something unexpected might happen?
