OOC conversation for Chapter 2 goes here.

Question for you folks.  What style of players do we have in this game?  Would you prefer to figure out the mechanism (puzzle) through roleplay or rollplay?  It will not hurt my feelings either way.  I just want to keep the game energy up and fun for y'all.

We have some description and acted accordingly. If you want to give more description, I'll try to use more brain cells. If you don't, I suggest you roll the dice or let us move on.

In reply to Eru (msg # 2):

Depending on the puzzle design, I'm afraid the back and forth that's often necessary for sorting out puzzles may take a long while with a feedback loop as large as posting on a message board. If we were all in a chat room, I'd probably vote for braincells, but in our situation, dice seem like they'd keep things moving better.

I think I agree with Phineas here. The turn around time trying to sleuth a puzzle might be too large depending on the design. At our posting rate, it might take a month to get the gates open.

As much as i would love to solve things like this by thinking it through and trial and error, i think i would have to agree with the others.  It will save a lot of time if we just role dice to solve it.  But maybe if we roll really terribly then we would be forced to work it out on our own.

Thanks, guys.  Moving on tonight then. :)

Skill XP

You get one skill xp to add toward Use Device, Disable Divice, Engineering, or any one other skill that seems appropriate for the gate gears.

You each get one skill xp to add to Handle Animal for wise handling of the animals during and after the flight from the tower courtyard.

Remember 1 XP is not the same as 1 Rank.
