I am! Huzzah!

I'm waiting to post until "OOC: The ledge is 12 feet off the floor.  We'll resolve the rest of your post once we get past the immediate dangers."

If you want to coo to the thuman and offer food, go right ahead.  The poor dear is starved for non-lethal attention.

Nu-mar is a good boy.  ;)

*clings to wall. shrieks incoherently.*  Posting will resume after full shrieking has occurred, probably in a couple of days. Thank you for your patience. :)

:)

Oh dear.

Don't forget a warm cup of tea with honey when you're over this.

Strange Fruit as in the old song about lynchings?

Attilisk - Golly gosh I hope not...

Porgot - DT 4, Understanding Numenera would help here, as would any mechanical skills.

In reply to GM (msg # 126):

Just so i understand right, my edge of 2 drops it to 4 without spend, right? If so I'll roll against dt 2. Unfortunately I dont have understanding numenera but fortunately I bought out my inability in it

Yes Porgot, you have your Edge spending right. :)

Hey guys, sorry I've been a little more quiet as of late.  We're having some stuff done at the house which involves a lot of elaborate set up, and then I can't sleep there during the day while the work is being done.  If work is less busy I might be able to steal some time there at night and update, but if not I expect the next time I'll get is Thursday evening/Friday morning.

+1 posting rate apologies.  Real Life schedule has been extra-crunchy, but I am still alive...  :o

It's a hard time everywhere, so I'm both understanding of your issues and apologetic about my own lack of quantity/quality. Popular unrest makes it harder for me to be imaginative and positive.

Wow, what are the odds.

Oh, 1/400, those are the odds.

Attilisk hugs Paraton with his arms still smoking from the electrocution.  "Brother!"

Oof, if you don't mind my asking, where do you live that is going through unrest?

Earth, probably.

By which I mean that there are MANY places dealing with unrest and instability right now.

I live in Chile. I'm somewhat hopeful, this revolt was necessary and long overdue. The violence I abhor, but understand: these are people who have been delicately told for decades that they will never be anything. This time, a few govt. ministers outright mocked the poor. The level of inequality here is appalling.

I hope things improve, I hope this government finally relents and turns a bit more human. But many people in power are completely happy with the status-quo.

Best of luck that positive, lasting, systemic change is coming to your country, Paraton.

Oh man, that must be scary and exciting at the same time. I hope the violrnce ends soon. Hopefully the change comes soon. Stay safe!

@GM and everyone, I'm kinda lost in this complex. Sad for a Seeker to say, but if any of you can share a conceptual map of the rooms we've been in, I'd be thankful.

I'll try to compile one today, otherwise.

Me too!

Cube and Eleisai came down from the surface, where the tentacle beast attacked.  Went through a rent in the wall.  Found the pod room where they met Attilisk and met the Brethren (and Delfino).  Briefly encountered the tentacle beast again, and it fled.  Tracked it.  Found a big spiral ramp that led down.  Ramp has no railings and is lit on the inside by large floating insects.  Partway down the ramp was a makeshift barrier and a swarm of little insects.  Prior to the barrier is the room with the spiky ball and the "control room" you are in now.

While exploring the ramp and barrier, there was some kind of displacement incident.  Several party members disappeared and more appeared, including Paraton.  (The barrier and insect swarm vanished, though the large "light" insects remain.)  The group carried on to the bottom of the ramp, where there is a doorway to the room with the crystal cluster where you fought sathosh, and found Nu-Mar and Porgot.

In the crystal room is the crawlway to the weightless room that matches the glimmer vision from earlier, and also the image shown in the "control room" now.

Thank you, this really helped.

Sorry for being AWOL.  I'm trying to get my head around the new-fangled version of the rules.  I would think that a Nano would be useful in figuring out all of the mysterious Numenera around here, but I'm fuzzy on exactly what kind of useful training Eleisai has that is applicable...?  O_o
