The Shadow Carnevale (OOC)

Strikes me you might be able leverage your memory-exchange to roll to get Burlyman on your side, that assumes you lost a memory about pack/family/human connection, which will be sad later.

If you think you lost something that would be important to building bonds then you can add a roll (another CHA, but that is how you are playing:). The results seems pretty obvious?: a 12+ will get him 'on your side'; a 10+ will get him help you hold back the crowd (for a bit); a 7-9 will buy you a moment while they consider your words, and could be used to continue the conversation; a 6- will see them reject your plea for humanity and you will have to deal with the crowd ... nowish.

Not making a Move will leave the situation tense, and the crowd will need a significant part of your concentration while you talk with Albeart's mattress.

Still working on finding some inspiration for what to do. Also been a little busy, that hasn’t helped. Will try to post later today.

If no inspiration strikes, you could all fall back to the urn and coach? Though, maybe Albeart does not want to do that?

We can add or adjust things to help you if you need. Just let us know. You could even just add the aforementioned roll to the existing post to spur the action on.

That was what I was thinking too.
How about we hijack the coach? Albeart can be the "horse". And we drive it to where Albert's body is.

I'd also be fine with smashing the urn, to be honest :P Probably a bad idea, but an interesting one.

That can work. It is a coach, so, a 'means of conveyance' and may be able to drive you out of here.

Lille was only appealing his general sense of humanity, nothing really related to the memory. It was more of a "now go over there and think about what you’ve done" kind of sentiment. I failed to generate anything else exciting on that note, so back to the coach we go!

I'll post tomorrow about what Roald sees in the urn. Was waiting for the others to get to the coach.

Albeart? Daryl? And Lille?

Does Ezme not have a smell? Is she too far faded, or is it some other reason? Just wondering. :)
What are you hoping will happen if you do that? I could see this being a solution, but can also see it making things worse. Depending on what you are aiming for we could maybe roll (not sure what, though) to see if you are following a wise course of action.
If things go wrong, maybe one of your friends can pull you out.

Didn't get to Ezme yet, but your suggestion of her being odourless is actually a good idea.

I was thinking that dislodging the threads would set those persons free, being able to leave this world. But I stopped to give others a chance to intervene.

If this is the solution and a bad roll gets Roald sucked into the pot, maybe Daryl can get him out.

Or Ezme can already try and pull Roald out, (because they see him trying to get deeper into the urn ) then, depending on Roald's roll, she might pass through him or pull him back.

Not trying to tell you all what to do, just what I was thinking could happen. I have no doubt you can come up with something more interesting 😀

There is no 'solution', yet. Whatever you guys come up with will have a chance of working.
I would want a PC involved since Daryl can not roll, but Daryl can help whatever Ezme does.
Quite right. Are you waiting to see what the others do before we work out a roll? Do you want to add a roll to what we have and let the others react to the outcome? We can work something out or wait.

I am going to roll and let the others come and save me.
If the outcome turns out to be positive (hahaha) Roald will dislodge one of the threads. I'll let faith determine which one.

Dex?

I'll wait with the dice roll until everyone has had a chance to give their opinion on this idea.

Cool. I look forward to it. :)
And are you hoping that that will send that person home? Or just free them to go home?

It occurs to me after that question that one reasons that Ezme is not part of the smell-melange is that she was not dragged in here by the same process you guys were, she came in voluntarily by ingesting the bee-sludge. So she may have her own —purgative— way of getting out.
I wouldn't have thought so. Seemed more like WIS to me (with a sprinkling of Decipher)?
Righty-ho.

Free to go home or just wake up. Whatever you gals want.

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"?

Oh, I would like to put out there that Albert's staff somehow be involved in freeing folks from this world, since Ezme came all this way to deliver it to him and remind him of his deity.... :-P

True. All part of her being here differently than the others.
For the record, you can 'right-click' on the orange thread title/name above each post and 'copy link address' to get a link to the exact post rather than the page it is on. (Of course, 'right-click' and such are arbitrary terms and might not apply to all platforms. :)
I think we are relying on Theo to save you?
They might mean me. :)

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 I might have accidentally did 'copy link to highlight' instead, but, oddly, both links do essentially the same thing for me. When I copy and past them into my browser, neither link goes to the exact post, just to the page it's on. The link to highlight seems to highlight the heading for the correct post, though....

I saw the highlighted text in the address bar, but it does not for me. Different browsers highlight differently.
Does this link take you to the post?

(Not a big deal either way.)
