Eleisai, you have training in understanding numenera, so that would certainly apply here in figuring out what does what.

Wishing you all a Blessed Christmas.  :)

My best wishes to you all in these holidays!

A most lovely Christmas and holiday season to you all!  Christmas activities kicked me in the butt, but I should be back now!

Wishing you all a Blessed 2020!  :)

Has Attilisk learned enough to operate the controls? (as far as we know)

Yes, he has a working understanding of what operations we've seen so far.

(Please ignore the ominous music swelling in the background...)  ;)

Should I roll again to open the doors, or is it covered in my first roll?

Please roll again.  This ancient technology is so unreliable...  };)

I figure it's better to ask this now that I don't need to do it: will you accept player intrusions, where we give 1XP and auto-succeed?

Ya, sure.

Update later tonight!

It never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth.

Because that would get boring?

I'm just hoping Delfino wasn't vaporized.

It's a Firefly quote, you philistine.

I haven't memorized the whole series, sad to say.

He probably wasn't vaporized.  Probably...  }:-)

Read: Delfino has a 20% probability of not having been vaporized."

Sorry to be so quiet.  I've had beginning of semester work crunch plus laptop issues.  :o

Any plausible suggestions for what Eleisai would/should have been occupied with IC as all these recent events have unfolded, or why she has been so quiet IC?  O_o

If Eleisai has been reading the intent of the "shadows", perhaps, she would have found them initially sleeping, but then growing in hunger and now frustration that Delfino is out of reach.

Good idea.  Many thanks.  :)

Just FYI, there is another exit from the spiky ball room.  There's the control room which is off to the side, but there is a yet unexplored door (currently shut) across from the entrance from the ramp.

Elesai also recalls that where she first came into the complex (up above) there were three entrances once they'd gone through the initial hatch.  She and her companions at the time went through a triangular entrance that had been punched forcefully through the wall.  There were two more, a small round one 10 feet off the floor (similar to the one that goes into the egg room) and a more regular square entrance flanked by pipes.  When you'd last left it, a silvery mist had been making the area quite cold.

Paraton: well, there's no other choice, I volunteer as a tribute

GM: umm... frands, there's a door over there that y'all missed.

I mean, just saying.  It's a big place.  Wanted to make certain all of your options were available.  I mean, toss yourselves in the Danger Room if that's your bag, though.  :D

Paraton, have things calmed down around you some (IRL)?  I haven't seen any news lately, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Things have calmed somewhat, the president's approval is sliding ever downwards, congresspeople took a month of holidays. There is a picture of Chile in the dictionary next to the definition of SNAFU. It's possible that things will heat up again in March, after the holidays. I'm currently working towards the efforts for a new constitution. I feel hopeful.
