Also, going back to the ic post, my guess is the other direction we saw would lead to the key. The question is how to get to it given the giant scary snake in the way.

Any thoughts?

Checking some math.
I cast a bunch of buffs right before we entered the first challenge.
I count:
45 minutes in the wood maze
20 minutes walking to the metal maze
1 hour in the metal maze
Not sure how long swimming - maybe 10-20 minutes?
Then 30 minutes to get back.

That's a total of 150 minutes + water time.
Is that correct?

That checks out for me, yes. Let's say the water time was five minutes, you didn't do that much in there, just swam to the bottom of the pool.

Same from me as well, for all those who actually celebrate it. :)

Back when I was a sugarholic, I used to celebrate the day after Easter, and all the discount chocolate.

Where I live the day after Easter is a recognized holiday, with days off work and everything. The correct catholic identification is "angel's day" (as in, the day the angels announced the resurrection to the apostles), but the secular designation is "little Easter", and it's traditional to go on picnics on that day. So... you're not alone celebrating the day after, I guess? Also, for me Easter ended about half-an-hour ago, and I should probably go to sleep because, while most places are closed for the holiday, restaurants aren't, so I'll be working tomorrow just as I was toady. ;P

Good night and happy festivities to everybody! ^_^

I'm Jewish, so don't celebrate Easter, but hope those of you who do celebrate had a good holiday.

Belated Happy Easter from me as well :P

And yeah, two days here as well. Nothing important really happened on Easter Monday / Second Easter Day that i could find, but it's an official holiday where i live.

I got Good Friday and Easter Monday off, but mostly indulged in Wine and Chocolate...
And moving furniture around, always fun.

Shall we go get the other three keys?

Waiting on GM before I answer Nar and Halasik.

Uh? Did you send me a PM I missed, Diata?

EDIT: Sorry! I formatted the private line to you wrong, so you couldn't see it. You should be able to see the writing now.

...Does completely bypassing challenges count as completing them for XP purposes?

Yes, it does; you should know, you got 3 XP for retrieving the pass card without fighting its custodian. (You did all note those down, right?)

Of course, you need to be able to do that for it to count. Are you able to do that?

I gather that everybody is fine with following Halasik's suggestion and going through the leftmost entrance?

Yes!

Something like that.

Aiming for things to calm down soon and be able to post more interesting posts :)

I'm assuming everybody is fine with following Halasik down the new tunnel, and none of you want to do anything else in the room with the pillars and statues?

Works for me.

Yep, assuming no one else found anything of note and the statues aren't reacting it would make sense to report back at the others and proceed with the next plan, in this case Halasik's.

Ditto

My wife's in the hospital (she seems to be ok, but needs to stay for at least another few days to stay on some meds), and I have the kids on my own. Probably won't post for a few days. Please put Halasik on autopilot.

:_( I hope it's nothing too serious!
Take good care of your loved ones.

Same here, Halasik, best hope that things will solve themselves quickly and without any complication; take all the time you need.

For everybody else, I guess I should just assume that nobody wants to add anything to the current situation in-character, and you're fine with pulling open the doors?

I'll give it another ten hours or so, and then move things forwards with that in mind, so if you want to object, now's the time to do it.
