It's nice to see Tefri and Adom's relationship change.

Yup. I have a hard time playing an asshole.

So, regarding the symbols, are we looking at the remnants of a ritual performed by a priest/priestess of the sun to screw with things in an effort to cause enough strife to start off a war of extermination on the elves? Or maybe somebody who has an interest in screwing over the people currently in authority? Somebody trying to straight up frame Adom? Something else?

I think those are all excellent questions to ask. Adom's knowledge of rituals wipes that option right off the table. They look unnatural.

Hrmm... He's got Ritual at B3 and Symbology at B2. Would either of those be viable options to decipher the symbols?

Barring that, I guess he'd look around the room, which I guess would be a perception check to look for signs of who/what might have inscribed the symbols.

WarDomo, I'll let Tefri react first.

I'm ready to move on if we're not going to get any more info about the hidden room with the circles in it. I'm guessing Tefri might have a bit more to say, though.

I'm good now

I feel like your post should end with "Stay tuned to the next thrilling episode of Burning Nile!"

Excellent! That means I'm doing it right. :)

Ok, that scene is done. Wow, I'm super pumped for the story to come. I hope you both are excited, as well. I think we might have lost the others.

I've been meaning to bring something up and keep forgetting or feeling like I don't have time (which is ridiculous in this format). Because of this format, waiting for the end of a story to do Artha awards and such could mean we're waiting six months or more to get some more points. In other games, I've been instituting an XP award on the 1st of the month. I'd like to do something like that here. We can go through the Artha awards at the beginning of every month and see how that goes. It might mean you end up swimming in Artha, and if that happens, we'll address it. Thoughts?

Yeah, let's try it! :)

Oh shit...

That one took a lot more thought than your average post. We're basically screwed if a fight breaks out, but she's probably got him by the balls if she takes him in anywhere. And revealing the secret room doesn't really help. It basically just confirms that Sobek is pissed and makes things worse for everyone.

My D&D instincts keep wanting to hack and slash but that's just going to get us all killed. But it would be far more interesting to see how we can deal with the devil. :)

I can't decide if I want Adom to succeed at this or fail horribly. Either way, it should be dramatic.

You are right, either choice has consequences!

We all hear the CW teen drama music in the background of that last post, right?

Ha! definitely
