Man, Arzin's gonna be suckin' down that weekly HP distribution like a drowning man gulping down air. :)

Given I'm a recent player, I will forego the bonus experience, but thus far I'm enjoying the careful simplicity of the rules and the Morrowind style opening thread

Is Arzin going to be swapping out soon or is he going to be holding the lens again this round? I can't really take my next action without knowing that.

In reply to Steorra Tellurian (msg # 309):

Is there anyone close by to whom he can hand off the Lens? I did not think that there was -- I had the impression that he was off by himself in the middle of the Grove.

It goes against his grain to just drop the Lens to the ground, maybe have it sucked into the growing hole/vortex. Kinda like abandoning his post, to his way of thinking. :)

I don't think that much spatial logistics matter in this case. Talon said we can swap roles so I figure that will account for movement etc.

But I'm gonna make a deadly roll and try to see if it helps you soak damage this turn, Arzin. The extra xp is nice but the risk of losing half my hp is scary, but it will be worse if you die from damage if you roll a 6. So I'll risk it!

Arzin...please edit your post as needed, but I turned that damage you took into a 1!

In reply to Steorra Tellurian (msg # 312):

Thank you, sir!

My pleasure!

And interestingly enough, you would have initially taken 5 damage and Steorra takes 5 crisis damage, so he really is literally taking the hit for you (well, nearly anyway since you still take 1 point). Thank God my Arzin roll was a 1!

I wanted to share what my highlight for this game has been so far. And it is that we're finally starting to get a glimpse that more exists in this "supposedly new, virgin, untouched dimension" than any of us from the Empire thought. But what I like even more is that while you have established that there are other forces and parties privy to this Dimension besides us, you've done it in such a way that you still retain a strong sense of possibility and opportunity into the unknown despite that! That's what I really like.

Like...I don't feel we were overshadowed so much that we have no agency. And I also feel that this sense of being a pioneer in an untamed wilderness, filled with great danger but potentially rife with opportunities still remains true! Like yea, we could all die and get eaten by prismatic slimes or void monsters or what have you. But equally, I feel like there is still that slim but possible chance of us adapting to our situation and surpassing our previous selves, and really leaving a mark on history.

I will be initiating that adventure from the coin thingy I found today sometime after work. I invite anyone who would like to join me to come with!

Arzin? Even though it's a social exploration type thing I definitely invite you to be my bodyguard lol! But all of you are welcome. Especially if anyone wants to have an opportunity to get to know my character better.

I (OOC) don't remember the coin thingy, but Arzin will be happy to accompany Steorra [especially after the mage took a (magicked) bullet for him, so to speak, in the recently-concluded adventure]. :)

He found it after the valley fight. It was an adventure lead reward but one that also has a hidden reward of revealing more of the setting to us early and I feel like in a thing like this knowledge is power.

Well this past adventure ended up causing my xp to surge (2 from the weekly update due to the special offer, and 1 from deadly roll). So I have enough to nearly (but not quite) do 2 projects as I've been saving. But there's one I'm going to do now that I hinted at early on, now that I know we can do "Spellspire" projects that can help the team overall.

And that is going to be doing something about that magical field and the wild magic it's causing us when we leave the spellspire's proximity. And then too, of course, I'll be initiating my new adventure shortly.

Minor correction: I didn't upgrade the infirmary.

Huh? I know that the reason we heal two hit points a week instead of one is because of a project someone did I thought it was you?

According to the Expedition Log thread it was Arzin :)

Makes sense. Two A named characters. Easy to confuse.

Oh yeah, Aurland did the food thing lol.

Weekly Distribution

+1 XP

Weekly Healing: +20% HP
10 HP = +2

---------------------------------------------

Almost forgot this week!

Steorra mentioned he was going to kick off his adventure hook he picked up, so I'll plan to open that thread tomorrow to give folks something to chew on for the weekend.

Hp 5->7. The healing was well-needed!

Attention players! I am going to be initiating the Deeper Mysteries Adventure Hook (Adventure Thread: Social & Exploration adventure). It is what I found from the strange coin thing he got from after the valley fight. Arzin has already said he's come, but any and all of you are welcome to join me too! I'm opening this up to all players who are interested. Please meet Steorra in-game in the tower Foyer in 1 in-game hour. <(^o-)>

Malleus will be coming

I have returned! Probably won’t see me around for a while since I’ll be catching up with the buckets of new replies since I left. I’ll do my best to get back to replying soon though.

Welcome back Irene.

Also I will not be going on the adventure so proceed without me.

In reply to Irene Fortuna (msg # 328):

Welcome back! I will enjoy seeing Irene (IC) in-game again. :)

I'll be updating the current adventure in the next couple of hours, it sounds like Aurland has other plans though so I'm intrigued to see what he's deciding to do!
