That's okay, I just stay silent for all the skills Vanyra doesn't have.

Well, when it comes to kicking something's ass, I'll yield to your guys' skill rolls.

Rolled 12.

Brett; I deleted the comment in IC that was referencing Yuu in the third person, but I did answer the question in IC.

Does Yuu recognize any of the words? Ie: with his eidetic memory, is he recognizing seeing any of the words from the various signs he's now observed in this place?

I would say yes, there's been the occasional word that has been seen more than once.

Cool, he's going to start paying attention to the words on the signs, and try to assess any patterns. Words on different sign colors, words that are common across all signs, words that indicate direction/destinations, etc. Maybe even assess an alphabet, start mentally plotting letters/letter order. Doesn't mean he'll understand anything, but he does like a good puzzle.

Do we get the door open okay?

The door is either locked, jammed, or otherwise unable to be opened, at least relative to the previous doors you encountered.

Also out of game note from the GM: I don't have the beyond that door ready right now.

Is the door big enough to have the vehicle go through it?  or, all all the doors big enough?

If that were so, it definitely explains a way for getting around the complex.

Also, thank you validating that it is a vehicle, I was second-guessing myself on that one!

Yes, the doors and hallways are big enough to drive the vehicle down. In fact they are over 3m wide; the scale on the Roll20 map may be a bit off in that regard.

I could go in the next room without opening the door, oops! :)

Naturally, if you keep going right you'll be off that map. I do have the expanded map ready though if you are determined to go off the current map though.

The completionist in me as a player wants to finish the map.

The person trying to imagine my character thinks she probably doesn't care a lot, though she would remember that we are trying to secure an area as well as investigate it, so she would want to make sure we didn't have unknowns all over the place.

I know, it's hard not to finish the map, but there is another whole map we didn't finish, and this one seems huge. I am game either way.

For now, I opened the door on the other side, assuming we all went there.

Assuming there is not a really red sign with tons of new requirements listed in front of the door. But my icon ran through the door without opening it already, so I figured I can open it just as well.

These computer console things... do they have button with icons or words on them? And would any correspond to some of the characters Yuu's been seeing on the signs?

Basically, I'm trying to see if Yuu can piece together what some of this equipment may have been used for and a theory on the purpose for this place.

Yes, the consoles have keyboards and a host of buttons and probable displays (you're not sure since they are dead now). Yuu and Zelpuz would recall seeing a number of the icons on the signage on doors and the hallways, they are distinct from the pictographs.

Without power to the devices it would be nigh impossible to figure out what these consoles do, but it would be a fair assumption that they are for monitoring and possible control of the machinery and piping you have seen through the facility so far.

I've pushed Yuu through the north tunnel back into the room we came from just for ease of gaming, but he'll still be with Zel and Vanyra.

Judging by where Zelpuz is on the map, should he go through that next door he will quickly recognize that he is back at a room they just visited a short while ago. So he essentially did a large loop.

Hey guys, just some info; since I built my new desktop machine I loaded the newest version of the mapping software I've been using for years, and there was a bunch of custom symbols I utilized for the maps we use. Thus I need to go through the somewhat lengthy process of reinstalling all those custom assets before I can muck around with the maps any more.

May take a few days. I do have an expanded copy of the right-side of the map you are on presently but not the left. So ultimately if the PC's want to continue exploring the maze of tunnels in this facility there may be a pause in the action while I sort the maps out.

If you want to go back into the cave though that is fully mapped out and ready for you.

I think the plan was to basically go back up here, hopefully get back to the other room we were in before already, and then head back to the cave and report back.
I went into the room.

Status update: I managed to reload all the custom items into my mapping program but the old ones are not really compatible with the new system, so I have to go in an recreate the furnishings in each room. Since most of them are almost carbon-copies of each other should only take a day or two.

The new symbol packs I got have WAY more stuff in them though, so things may look a bit different once complete. But as I said I still have maps ready for most of the facility and you have the entirety of the caves yet tool.

Managed to recreate the old map, so we're good to go.

Zelpuz is very sure of instincts on turning right to go back to where they were. His photographic memory also confirms this, to an extent, when looking at the signage on the door and corridors. He cannot be certain since he does not understand the language but many of the symbols match.

Nice dude, what parts you put into your new machine?
