I didn't get to it. But I will Monday.

@Seck , do we have to navigate through the maze to get to the stairs?
May 14, 2024 2:25 pm
Sorry for my confusing descriptive skills.

Yes. It looks like you could fairly easily find a path by navigating on top of the stone slabs that make up the 'maze'. It looks too easy in fact. And the serpents that swim in the recesses of the stone platform are foreboding.

I forgot to respond to Ma's reference to the blood drops in my last post. You will see some drops on the slabs that would reveal the path that the hin took through the 'maze'

I think there is some confusion about what exactly to do @Seck

OOC:
So,@MaJunior , looks like you pick the squares and I make the rolls because she's following Anlo's lead.
May 29, 2024 2:07 pm
Wouldn't we need the rolls before we pick the squares though?
May 29, 2024 3:53 pm
Ma, rolling first would have worked too. My convoluted idea could be employed and unfold in various ways 🙃 I see how it's confusion who will the direction. You guys could play it the way Sky suggests. Ma picks the goal square and Khali rolls. (Or you could discuss it OOC, up to you. I think Sky's idea would keep things moving along.)

I was just thinking that you guys tell me where you're heading, aiming to pass through three squares. If your role succeeds you mange to spot triggers and avoid them, moving successfully through all three squares; if your role fails, you trigger something somewhere along your path. In either case, I'll provide narrative about how each turn unfolds.

That works.

OOC:
That makes sense to me @Seck

Hey guys. Just a quick check in to see how everyone is feeling.

Are you enjoying the game?
Are the story elements fun so far and making any sense?
Do you want to keep going?
Do you want an off ramp for your character?


At this moment, I don't see myself devising an Episode 2 for Madagast. So as far as this episode goes, would you prefer it to wrap up more quickly or would you prefer it to have a few more nuanced elements/stages before it completes?

1. Yes, I'm having fun.
2. The story is great.

That all being said, I know that Pbp is a format for busy players. However, there is a difference between 'slow' and 'coming to a T total stop'! If it ever comes to the latter you know the game is going through the 'spiral of death'.

Sky, I don't think Ma is coming back into this game. There's no recent activity listed for him on GP and he was in many games here. I hope all is well with him and nothing serious happened.

Considering that, would you like to finish this game as a solo adventure? If you rather not, no worries. We could just end it here.

Another option: put it on ice and advertise it? I don't have much experience with this sort of thing.

Right now I'm confused as to what is counting as an action, interaction and bonus action. If she still has an action she will also take the Dodge action. If she can, she'll swap the Cataclysm with the Upgraded Civilization; realizing her mistake and I'll update her post.

Right. It's confusing.

Let's say that manipulating the images' positions don't count as an action; it's basically just Khali's thought process acting and the headband is making it happen.

Also let's say that testing if the image is an open portal by pushing Khali's hand into the image is quick interaction with that object, BUT let's not count it as her action. So she still could take an action this turn.

Thanks...I'll post a little later today. @Seck

I think my 'puzzle' is too convoluted. Sorry!

Maybe this will help:

Khali already got the tournament Image D:The Ierendi Tournament in the right position, which is position 4.

I'll make its circle green when an image is in the right position.

Also, Khali realizes that Image C: Rain of Fire is the first thing that occurred in this time line.

And she realizes that Image A: The Grand Conjunction is something the elder seers of her wandering kin spoke of as a prophecy far into the future and it something that has not yet happened.

Sky, with this in mind, perhaps you would like to edit your last post of Khali's arrangement of the images.

I got that both Anlo and Khali are both taking the dodge action. I'll wait to see what Khali does with the images, as this will effect if more statutes come alive or not.

As a player I would have never guessed that was the order.
Jul 17, 2024 1:31 pm
Sorry for the delay. I'll get to a post soon!
Jul 18, 2024 12:49 pm
Look forward to it! @Seck
