Actually he's probably the only character in the game who really understands Swift Fox.
Pity he's only an NPC, hehe.

Also I'd assumed Sun Snake at least was already mind-linked with her, hence her "Did you see?" at the end.
(Referring to him seeing the solution to the trap, how it worked, rather than seeing the other odd stuff happening in her head at the time.  That was just her putting the pieces together and realising that maybe she was meant to be here all along so she could finally turn around and stab Darkness in the back for messing with her all her life!  hehe) :)

At some point maybe our characters will all reunite and I can find out whatever it is you've all been doing over there :D. I haven't even looked at the OOC thread for ages because last time I checked it just seemed to be discussions centred around whatever it was you lot were doing while Dusk Rat is off doing whatever ;).

I have a feeling we might be in an antagonistic situation when we all get back together again.  I still see evidence of you posting and NPCs posting at least, so I know you're still doing stuff!

Edit: Oh, and look at this hat! :)

Awww, someone killed a poor Beholder and made a hat out of its corpse! :(

Rofl that's a cool hat :D.

Maybe a beholder made shoes out of a human :) But yes, I thought it was cute!

*sniff*  It's ok Many.  No-one will make a hat out of you.  Not while I'm alive!  >:(

Lol, so noted :)

*yay!*

Ohyeah, if someone tried to make a hat out of Many, I'd probably have to cast prett much every element in existence at them and then invent a few new ones to throw at them as well...but that beholder was probably one of the nasty bastard ones so it's okay ;).

Lol, yeah, The Phystal learned the hard way what happens to people when Nym is happy!


And I forgot I put the Lone Wolf font on my notepad, so when I pasted the in process game update just now, it suddenly looked like an odd Lone Wolf book section. :)

There's a Lone Wolf font?

Souvenir :)

Hmm, looks normal enough, where's it from?

It's just a normal font, but it's not really used in many places normally, and the original Lone Wolf books were printed in that font through the various runs. So it's always the Lone Wolf font to me :)

ooo, ok.  Thanks :D

Given what's just happened, Celindara might open up quote a lot about some of the old histories and what you just saw. So basically, expect a huge info dump, and expect it tomorrow rather than tonight :p



Anyway, obviously in the background in my head stuff could happen, but I actually didn't expect everything to play out that way and for so many things to get triggered and resolved. Even when I had it in mind that you might try for some stuff, I expected it more as a quick RP session or at worst complexity 1 skill challenge.

If anything, you did enough work for a complexity 3, however many of your actions and skill useages were actually doing more to bolster side thingies. So for example keeping the fey alive and ensuring Celindara maintains the use of two hands are bonus cool things rather than success/failures in the challenge.


Anyway, just wanted to explain the perhaps difference in work load between Goowin and this latest one even though they were technically the same complexity. They are of course a level in difference, because you guys are now level 5 (hence why you got 200 each not 175 each). And of course the bonus XP actually makes the reward the same as a complexity 3 challenge anyway now I think about it!

Hehe well, it seems like we got about the best result we could've hoped for - both victims of the black icky crap were cured and have sustained injuries but will be able to get on - fey guy will presumably have a face that looks somewhat-kess-than-fantastic unless he ever manages to bump into a healer of advanced enough skill (magical or otherwise) that they can fix it. Celindara, I gather, just has a few cuts that Meri is now healing so presumably will be physically completely fine soon enough :). Not sure where the sudden idea came from for me to take her form but I think the reasoning was that maybe if she thought Nym was her, she might be more inclined to listen...like there were already two of her (the one affected by the parasite who thought everything was fine and the "real" her who knew it certainly wasn't) and I was taking the shape of the one currently being suppressed in order to cause that one to emerge more strongly. Or something. I dunno, but whatever it was, it worked so that's cool :D.

Yeah, as I explained IC in the story post, the way the compelling was working meant that actually appearing as her was pretty inspired as a countermeasure.

So yes, everything works out well except instead of moving us on and dropping you guys in a river or something, I have to kill my fingers typing lots of story stuff :p

That's ok.  I think I need time to sort out my inventory, since I've forgotten what I was going to take and what's still left there.  Also the gp, and was that 200 or 300 xp each there?

300XP in total each :)

Oki doki :)

Woo, only 1700 exp to go and then we get a new Feat and stuff, lol :D.

Yeah, as I said I expected to hand out maybe 100XP each for this little after battle thingie, but you guys had to go being all heroic and doing stuff.

What is hugely funny of course is that this all started, effectively, from Nym vapourising The Phystal and denying you the 150XP for the 'final' battle earlier...

So basically what I'm saying is, violence always pays, and really you should probably garrotte the fey for bonus XP!

Well, might get around to that if he wakes up in a bad mood and gets loose and goes for his weapons again despite being wounded and outnumbered.

At the very least he'll probably be getting left tied to that tree ;)
