Does this link take you to the post?

(Not a big deal either way.)
It goes to the page, but scrolled down such that the post is at the very top. It works fine.

Ezme also might not have a smell because, unlike the rest of you, she does not have a shadow cord at all, according to this post.... She's just been following everyone else's cords. @vagueGM is probably right that she may need to do something different to escape. Or maybe someone could do something to free her once they are back in the waking world....

I'm totally down with Roald trying to extract the cords to free the souls to leave. @Airshark, when you say you'll let faith decide which character gets freed, do you mean "chance"?
Yes chance! Or fate 🤦🏼‍♂️. Sorry for the mix-up

Yes, go ahead and roll for your plan with the cords. I’m interested to see what will happen. Sorry if I kept you waiting.

11.

I checked twice, it really says 11!

Heh sweet! Now we just have to find Albeart’s body. Would the high result give us any clue for that?

The staff and holy symbol of a god of Conquest and Fire in a strange land of shadow and dark... yeah, seems like it ought to be. :)
I think we can only do that after Albert has his body back. Let's hope it works :)

Maybe the Staff is in a way connected to the body?
Another small Shadow cord which we didn't notice before because of the other cords?
Just writing out loud...

That seems feasible.
Airshark says:

Unlikely, the staff was not stung by shadow-bees.

But if you can find Albert's body-cord then you could maybe use staff as a capstan/pulley/lever/belay-device to drag it back?

What do you think of this idea, @Airshark? Right now, Roald has the staff. Perhaps he could us it to somehow bring back Albert's body?

You would be dragging it to the urn, which is in the coach, so if you move the coach the urn comes with and you won't lose the connection.

You could also use Ezme grip on the cord as a guide as to which direction to go to find the body?

Options abound, I am merely making the obvious suggestions.

Can we twist the cord round the staff. Like, just roll it up as we go. That way the body doesn't get any slack and we will eventually find it.
Then, I suppose we have to connect the staff to the body to reverse the ' curse'.

Could work. (All options are open.)

Ok. Let's wait for Albeart to pull the coach and then we can escape from the Dreamworld.
We could get the Albert into the coach and let the bear go berserk and pull us away from the circus.

We're on the move, friends! :D

If Ezme or Roald can direct Albeart to his body's cord, he will head that way.

If Lille is sacrificing the trip-shot staff-memory as a throw-away distraction (not sure if she loses the staff as well?) [ref] then, with Albeart's 10+ coach-pull [ref] you can get away from the crowd.

You are welcome to flavour it with great balls of fire (poi) and staff dragging and such, but assume you get away and can find Albert's runaway body when you are ready to deal with it.

She switched the memory to a rock and threw the rock. Still have the staff.

The poi balls were just to have a "local" item for defense/offense. Something that can interact with the crowd without using more memories or making us fainter. Not an important detail if we can just get away.

Gotcha.

Understood. Feel free to use them as flavour in your escape, as you like it.

Looks like we have found Albert's body [ref].

I am not sure what the light is (or who all can see it). But carry on. :)

My luck has taken a turn for the worse. 😅
