Octagon - Another Purpose - Game Thread.

The light of the match quickly extinguished. All the party witness something very strange: the liquid literally climbs out from mug and moves slowly back, towards reservoir, chilling the scarce grass vegetation on it's way

There is nothing to tie the rope to. It is very even surface. And liquid, a lot of it. It is the maze of passable bridges , some of them really thin. Widest canal is is few meters wide, but there no square cannals. Most of them long, wery few are wide. All the mess looks like maze, it have kind of continents, and you will need to jump between them.

I am glad that my gming makes people love Numenera more , cheers :-)

The stone sinks slowly.

Maze.

Something like this but much bigger and more complex, where walls are surface stripes.
It have some parts of surface blocks disconnected so jumps required.
Ronna already calculated all possible ways to jump through this complex.

4 ft. in some places, narrowest gap between complex "continents" is 5 ft.

Ronna switched her attention and bowed to examine canal walls, but her body, "enchanced" by new "properties" betrayed her, she felt, and slided towards canal edge. She stopped herself in time, but the finger tips her hand descended below the level of canal walls surface, and touched the liquid again. She wanted to pull her hand quickly, but another wave of chill gone through her body.

Another 2 speed damage(updated it in CC), duration of +1 difficulty for speed task is simply extended (i did not added more 1 - didnt stacked it, yet)

Mandoric watches the water simply being slowly absorbed into the liquid. He was so consumed by the sight, that he actually pronounced what he recieved from his connection with Datasphere: "...Absorbs water... preserves water? Catalizator against extreme heat threat... perhaps designed to prevent overheat of the area, or the earth, or protection against some kind of weapon"

His gaze turned to to canal walls, but datasphere returned here clear "It is created to separate and contain the coolant. The separation in the reservoirs helps to V-nanites to develop semi-asphatic properties, and prevent entity's reloidness."
They were plain and even. Nothing was there.

you are right, i just wanted not to freeze the game and to give some space for free discussion, but it went a bit awry with all the experiements. I know and I won't do free mode next time on such scale and will limit it, but please catch up with all the text, if you can, because you may find the solution for the puzzle the party tries to solve for 2 pages at least...
On this note i also close free mode, and we will need wait to Nyom post (or more complex Jax reaction, if he desires to do it) first in order to advance. All discussion could be done ooc by players who made turn in discussion thread, and then played IC during next action phase

Its good.Its cool, i just understimated players activity and been verbose too.
I will limit free modes for 3 posts per round to allow some space for open conversation, but prevent it to growing into 3 pages per round :D (my apologies to Nyom and Jax, its my guilty :P )

I REMIND THAT I OFFERED XP (as per GM intrusion) TO ONE WHO SOLVES THE CANALS PUZZLE AND PROPOSE CORRECT WAY TO PASS IT IN SAFETY, or you always can go and smash some creatures :)

Clarification question: Are the plants on the same side of the river banks as us? Or will we have to cross through them once we cross the canal. Cause I may have a solution.

Please lets all OOC and clarifications keep in Diuscussion, ty mate :) this will just help to keep game thread bit more clean for players who were not present during creation of last 3 pages :D.
I will answer this one here - no, the end of canal complex have just alot of that plain gray material, and it seems safe, from here, especially if it's true that nothing comes close to it, as Zinobia said before. There no plants. Plants grow on exposed ground, on edges of canal maze. Fields are wide and long, and you need to reach that gray square at end of canal system in order to pass them.
