Stars Without Number - maze-season-2

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 10:01 AM

“And we’re off!!” is the last thing the 10 players here before they are all swept deep into VR. First one to make it to the end of the maze and wake up will be the winner. The maze begins to unfold around them as it’s loaded in, first a grid, then shapes, them details. It’s different this time than last time. The walls, ceiling and floor are all made of stone, and everything is lit by torches. None of the players are able to recognize each other, even if they’ve met before. (Also just for reminders sake, no stat or skill bonuses or foci or magic or psychic abilities or gear. And let’s go with 12 HP too) Everything loaded in, their surroundings become more clear. They’re in a sort of underground cave. Ahead is a staircase leading up to a clean cut opening, nothing else. (edited)

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 10:03 AM

(initiative?, not necessarily for combat, but to see who runs out first or something?)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 10:06 AM

(Last time there was a little fraternizing in the first room, so I’ll say hold off a second)

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 10:07 AM

(

thanks, I wasn't sure with the whole anonymous thing how that would work.)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 10:07 AM

Ed's avatar seems to do a bit of stretching and cracks its fingers.

"Only ten people eh?"

"Figured there'd be more."

Reverend Levi McClain (Dax'olli) 25-May-19 10:08 AM

(Is there a generic stat block? Like skill level 0 in shoot, stab, and punch?)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 10:08 AM

"Meh, not that this few people is a bad thing. Fewer people between me and that fat prize."

Ed's avatar chuckles.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 10:10 AM

(Yeah exactly Dax. Just +0 in everything)

Svenka Vilnovha 25-May-19 10:15 AM

“This... is odd.” Svenka looks down at her digital hands and body, a stylized Taros warrior, and smiles slightly “Hello everyone, I look forward to the competition”

“I don’t recognize any of you. I am... Stryzbog.”

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 10:17 AM

"Weird name."

Svenka Vilnovha 25-May-19 10:19 AM

“Truly a person of culture.” Stryzbog says, dismissively

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 10:21 AM

"Thanks, I try to uh... 'patron the arts'."

Ed takes a momentary brake from being snarky and examines the room they've been put in for the moment.

Notably, he feels at the rocky flooring to see if it's shear stone or tiled or something.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 10:25 AM

It’s less of a room and more of a big hold of nothing. It’s a big, open cave. The walls look damp, and the only light is from the torches. The floor and walls are not tiled, but a rough stone.

The stairs ahead, however, are neatly carved out of the stone, with smoothed edges.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 10:27 AM

Ed finishes his cursory examination and grins to himself.

Svenka Vilnovha 25-May-19 10:27 AM

“Very... primitive” Stryzbog states, while moving and flexing, getting used to the body “So, we go up the stairs?”

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 10:27 AM

"Alright, back to being snide."

"Yup, looks like it. Unless they want us to kill each other in here."

"Doubt it though, it'd just be a brawl."

Svenka Vilnovha 25-May-19 10:29 AM

“I suppose we should wait until all of the competitors have joined” She states, looking around at the blank avatars in the room

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 10:31 AM

"Buncha slackers. Bet they'd find a way to be late to their own funeral."

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 10:34 AM

Wes' avatar looks like it fell out of a 70's sitcom. He opens an eye and looks over from where he was meditating in the corner.

Svenka Vilnovha 25-May-19 10:34 AM

“It lives”

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 10:35 AM

"I'm alive, it doesn't seem like they'd waste the effort on dead people, just wasn't sure if it was the best idea to be the first up those stairs. Almost too easy."

Svenka Vilnovha 25-May-19 10:37 AM

The toned Taros warrior nods “Prudent”

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 10:41 AM

"Fresh blood."

Svenka Vilnovha 25-May-19 10:42 AM

“Stryzbog, I don’t know what this one calls itself.”

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 10:43 AM

"I may not know you, or this place, but I do know one thing,..."Wes waits for a moment trying to look sagacious."...and that's ShutupWes'#1. Whatever it means must be true since it's my name. I guess you can call me S1 for short, doesn't have the same ring though."

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 10:43 AM

"Ya can call me 'Ed'."

Ed's avatar is the default avatar, with the addition of a beanie hat.

Svenka Vilnovha 25-May-19 10:46 AM

“S1, Ed, well met”

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 10:48 AM

"You too Stryzbog. Good luck. I wonder if we can work together? Even one of us getting out with the prize is better than no one getting out or getting it right?"

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 10:50 AM

"HAH!"

"Yeah, right."

"I don't even wanna THINK about the logistics of trying to split a cash prize across three people who could be planets away from each other."

Svenka Vilnovha 25-May-19 10:51 AM

“I would be willing to work with you, S1”

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 10:51 AM

"Assuming someone doesn't just try and keep it to themselves."

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 10:52 AM

"Well I don't remember paying for entry do you? So it's not like you've lost anything, and it could be fun."

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 10:57 AM

Ed thinks for a second

"...Naaaaah."

"I don't trust people I just met that easy."

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 10:58 AM

"Well go get a head start then? First to finish right?" (edited)

S1 smiles and steeples his fingers as he sits to watch the staircase.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 11:01 AM

"Don't think the organizers would appreciate me starting before everyone arrived."

"Though I don't think they set any rules."

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 25-May-19 11:32 AM

Phasing into the virtual world of The Maze, Joshua's avatar looks around. Seeing some of the other competitors here, he feels relieved at first, then embarassed as he's shown up a bit later than he anticipated. "Am I late? Though it doesnt look like you guys have left yet so I wouldn't think so." He looks around, checking out the stairs and the rest of the starting area.

Reverend Levi McClain (Dax'olli) 25-May-19 11:46 AM

Dax appears as a dark-haired man with a completely forgettable face and average build. He looks over his avatar for a moment and flexes and stretches for a second to get acclimated to the movement and says nothing.

Cayne Neverwinter 25-May-19 12:10 PM

Caynes avatar phases in, a beach blonde teenager with a fade, dressed in a leather jacket and skinny jeans. Taking a moment to acclimatize himself, he looks around saying “So now I get to virtually kill people for money? They just keep making shit easier.”

Cathal Rourke (Kensh) 25-May-19 12:12 PM

Kensh’s avatar appears, and looks around at the area and the other avatars, before running a hand over his bushy black beard and grunting to himself.

Reverend Levi McClain (Dax'olli) 25-May-19 12:27 PM

(So is it anonymous to the point we don't know who anyone else is? Like I couldn't team up with "Cayne" because I wouldn't know it was him)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 12:29 PM

(Yeah basically because that and because we don't want you meeting the Astrian people. If you wanna just say you're Dax that's fine and we can make up some excuse as to why they can't recognize the name or whatever)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 12:35 PM

(Something something names are censored where required something something)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 12:44 PM

(Yeah just as long as this isn’t how you meet the Astrians )

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 12:45 PM

(Am I the only Astrian?)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 12:46 PM

(Think so)

the_begginer 25-May-19 12:55 PM

(I am too)

Reverend Levi McClain (Dax'olli) 25-May-19 12:55 PM

(I like to think we all have Xbox live usernames above our heads)

the_begginer 25-May-19 12:55 PM

(Carching up in all that is written so far.)

Reverend Levi McClain (Dax'olli) 25-May-19 12:56 PM

(Mine is xx_n00bkiller69_xx)

the_begginer 25-May-19 01:00 PM

Player One (me) is looking for the menu with the game instructions.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 01:09 PM

No rules or instructions found.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 01:10 PM

(Mine is Defeating Foes In Battle)

(OBSCURE REFERENCE)

the_begginer 25-May-19 01:18 PM

I do not know anyone here and it seems like no one knows what to do so I will go take a pick upstairs.

Cayne Neverwinter 25-May-19 01:29 PM

Cayne's avatar heads for the stairs, tired of standing around

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 25-May-19 01:29 PM

(Are we starting?)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 01:30 PM

Ed follows, seeing as how apparently enough people have gathered.

(Apparently.)

Reverend Levi McClain (Dax'olli) 25-May-19 01:30 PM

(For simplicity, I'm just going to say "Dax" instead of "Dax's avatar")

(Yeah it started when we dropped in) (edited)

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 01:30 PM

S1 watches intently seeing if something will happen as they ascend the stairs.

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 25-May-19 01:31 PM

(Didnt know if we were waiting for Hailey to drop a Ready Go)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 01:31 PM

(I thought that was the plan, yes.)

Cayne Neverwinter 25-May-19 01:32 PM

(Just said I wanted to go to the stairs, if something happens, then something happens. If she wants us to wait, I'm sure she'll say something)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 01:40 PM

(Ok then I’ll give you a go, that’s fine.) Players recurve the go and start for the stairs, nothing happens as they ascend. The can see through the opening, and the room inside has wooden crates scattered around. The room is ornately done, with abstract red markings on the floor and, and the floor is make of tile. It has more torches, too, making it better lit. It’s big, and there are three other ways out of it. Another room is on its left, one on its right, and across the room is an opening, but a wall is blocking their vision of what’s through there.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 01:41 PM

(How many torches are there?)

Cathal Rourke (Kensh) 25-May-19 01:42 PM

Not wanting to hang around, Kensh heads towards the room on the left.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 01:42 PM

(Are the crates wooden? Do they seem to be opened?) (edited)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 01:42 PM

Ed counts and finds there are a total of 20 torches lighting the room, all evenly spaced.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 01:44 PM

Ed runs at a crate near a torch and tries opening and looking into it.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 01:44 PM

Kensh is not stoped by any traps as he heads for the left side room. Ed finds the crate is sealed shut.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 01:45 PM

(Like, nailed shut?)

1

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 01:45 PM

(Let’s get initiative from everyone now. Just so we have an acting order altogether)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 01:46 PM

(1, me slow.)

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 01:47 PM

(2)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 01:47 PM

Ed, noticing the crate is nailed shut, already knows what he needs to do.

Reverend Levi McClain (Dax'olli) 25-May-19 01:47 PM

(d8+0=7)

Cathal Rourke (Kensh) 25-May-19 01:49 PM

(1)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 25-May-19 01:52 PM

(5)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 01:56 PM

(Question how long was the stairway leading to this room?)

(Like 1 story?)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 01:56 PM

(Sure)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 01:57 PM

(FOOL, YOU'VE SEALED YOUR FATE)

Cathal Rourke (Kensh) 25-May-19 01:59 PM

(Ed has big plans

)

Cayne Neverwinter 25-May-19 01:59 PM

(4 for initiative)

Svenka Vilnovha 25-May-19 02:00 PM

(Going to a movie shortly, so I’ll be spotty)

(Consider me last - Wes can act for me, sorry!)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 02:04 PM

(no worries, we'll put you last)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 02:16 PM

(Just waiting on @the_begginer and @Severus Thatcher (Seung) if he’s still doing it)

the_begginer 25-May-19 02:35 PM

(I had to get away from the pc. You can go on without me)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 02:42 PM

(we'll put you last too then)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 02:43 PM

(That leaves Marina, I guess.)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 02:53 PM

(Movement order is Dax, Joshua, Cayne, Wes, Ed, Kensh, Svenka, Hope, Marina)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 02:54 PM

(I got a 1 how am I 5th hah)

Reverend Levi McClain (Dax'olli) 25-May-19 02:54 PM

(AFK people are tacked on to the end)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 02:56 PM

(Dax is up)

Reverend Levi McClain (Dax'olli) 25-May-19 02:57 PM

Dax uses his turn to inspect the red markings on the floor, trying to determine if there is any rhyme or reason to them. (Let me know if I need to roll anything for that)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 25-May-19 03:00 PM

(Are we all gonna go then you resolve what we do after everyone goes)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 03:01 PM

The markings are hard to make out, but they look to form some weird blob like shape. Shapes of bones and skulls are thrown in almost as if at random. A ring surrounds it.

(Just as it comes Josh)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 25-May-19 03:01 PM

(Ok)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 03:01 PM

(Joshua up)

( @Nekosmash can you pin that initiative order for me)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 25-May-19 03:04 PM

Seeing an opportunity to get ahead of the other competitors, Joshua runs as quickly as he can to the room straight ahead of him. "See you at the finish line!" he says as he runs off, hoping whatevers beyond the wall won't immediately kill his avatar.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 03:05 PM

"Later, chump. Heheheh."

Nekosmash 25-May-19 03:09 PM

Pinned a message.

(That one?)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 03:13 PM

(yep thanks)

(Josh jump into group 2 thread)

( @Cayne Neverwinter is up) (edited)

Cayne Neverwinter 25-May-19 03:31 PM

Cayne heads for the left door without a word, opening it and closing it behind him

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 03:36 PM

(Cayne go to group 3 thread)

Cayne Neverwinter 25-May-19 03:39 PM

(kk)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 03:40 PM

(Wes up)

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 03:44 PM

(Two things , would it be easier if I just used Wes whatever the avatar is named? Also there's nothing in the start cave besides other players stairs and torches right?)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 03:45 PM

(And crates.)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 03:45 PM

(Yeah there was nothing else in the cave. It was kind of just a loading area)

(And you can just call him Wes, doesn't matter to me)

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 03:47 PM

(just figured it might be easier since you're running three threads already.) Wes looks around at the bare cave then ascends the stairs.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 03:49 PM

(You can make another move if you like, since everyone kinda did that at once)

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 03:50 PM

(thanks.) Wes looks at the torches on the wall, checking if they're stuck in place or moveable.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 03:52 PM

As Wes reaches out to touch them, his hand phases through, not making physical contact with them.

(Ed)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 03:53 PM

Ed, after finishing a cursory examination of the crates, tries to lift one a bit to see how heavy it is.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 03:54 PM

It lifts easily.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 03:55 PM

Ed hefts the box and shoves it and another of its kind hurriedly towards the stairway, and throws them down it.

Then he chases them down.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 03:56 PM

The boxes break open as they fall down the stairs, then sit in pieces at the bottom. Nothing was inside. There are another 2 boxes in the room.

(Kensh)

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 03:56 PM

"Gah!"

Cathal Rourke (Kensh) 25-May-19 03:57 PM

Kensh frowns at the sight of Ed throwing the boxes around, and decides to hurry in the room on the right.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 04:00 PM

The room on the right is filled with primative bows, a claymore, swords, daggers, and a set of leather armor.

( @Svenka Vilnovha)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 05:17 PM

(Since @Severus Thatcher (Seung) is online we can skip to him) (edited)

Severus Thatcher (Seung) 25-May-19 05:19 PM

(Loneliness?) The taros avatar looks around the room heading up and throw the far blocked opening.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 05:22 PM

(Sorry weirdest typo ever) He joins Josh at the opening across. (Go to group 2 thread)

(Now back to @Svenka Vilnovha )

Svenka Vilnovha 25-May-19 05:34 PM

Svenka follows after Wes, watching his back

(And movie out and now dinner...

)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 05:42 PM

Svenka notices the same thing Wes does.

(Out of initiative now, so move at your own speeds)

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 05:44 PM

Wes goes over to one of the crates and leans on it to see if it will hold his weight.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 05:45 PM

Ed grabs two of the most intact and hand-portable pieces of smashed crate and begins ascending the stairs. (edited)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 05:45 PM

It’s sturdy and holds Wes fine.

Ed’s crate bits are small but sturdy.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 05:46 PM

As he passes the torch on the way up, Ed waves one of the pieces over the torch to see if it singes.

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 05:47 PM

Wes grabs one crate and hands one to Svenka, then they join Dax. Looking for somewhere the crates might fit into the ornate designs on the floor.

the_begginer 25-May-19 05:50 PM

I want to go to the right room

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 05:57 PM

The wood singes and starts to burn up in Ed’s hand. The ornate floor is complete, and does not seem to have any holes where the crates would fit. Hope joins Kensh in the right room, seeing the same weapons he does.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 05:58 PM

Ed smiles and waits a moment for the piece to charcoalize and ignite.

the_begginer 25-May-19 05:58 PM

(I will assume Kensh went for the armor first so..) I pick the bow, a sword and a dagger.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 05:59 PM

He then extinguishes the smaller piece and ignites a long piece with a decent flame

the_begginer 25-May-19 05:59 PM

(What are my options to move forward? )

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 06:00 PM

He pockets the small extingished piece of wood and goes and checks the weights of the other crates (edited)

(Do they feel about the same?)

He gives them both a good shake, listening to hear if anything rattles. (edited)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 06:01 PM

Ed’s piece does so quickly. It singes his hand a bit, but not enough to hurt badly.

Hopes weapons simple but look effective. It doesn’t like like they’ve been used before.

The other two crates are being held by Svenka and Wes, but don’t sound like they’re rattling.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 06:04 PM

After quietly listening to the two walk around for a moment, Ed gives a bit of a shrug and salutes the two.

"See ya on the other side!"

He then jogs off towards the forward exit and turns right at the intersection. (edited)

Merle Horník (Corn) 25-May-19 06:05 PM

Wes shrugs before leading Svenka to the left room both still holding their crates.

the_begginer 25-May-19 06:06 PM

I look for a way to move forward. A door in the walls different than the one I came in. A trap dor in the floor maybe? Something in the ceiling that may indicate an exit?

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 06:10 PM

Ed can turn left or right at the far exit. ( @Merle Horník (Corn) and @Svenka Vilnovha go to thread 3) In the right room with Hope and Kensh, there are two smaller rooms adjacent. Both are unlit by torches, but some still seeps in from outside.

ShadowDimentio 25-May-19 06:10 PM

(He went right @Mylonite (Hailey) )

the_begginer 25-May-19 06:11 PM

Are there torches in this room?

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 06:11 PM

There are torches in the right barracks room.

(Go to thread for Ed)

the_begginer 25-May-19 06:13 PM

I want to pick a torch and investigate the unlit rooms. I stand at the door and try to see inside.

I hold the torch high so it provide light but does not blind me.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 06:18 PM

The torch illuminates the first room. Drawings of something are scattered around. There are easily dozens of them.

the_begginer 25-May-19 06:20 PM

I hold the torch low to illuminate the floor, I am looking for dangerous places to step on. A tile of different color or different shape.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 06:27 PM

No tiles in the room with the drawing seem out of place. The torch illuminates the drawing. They’re all of a massive, tar like beast, with bones jutting out all along it. It’s eyes are all that has color, a pale red.

the_begginer 25-May-19 06:29 PM

Have I seen such a beast before? Are there annotation or something written?

Does any of the drawing show the best dying or killing?

Reverend Levi McClain (Dax'olli) 25-May-19 06:43 PM

(So we're out of initiative, I'm assuming. I've been out of it for a bit)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 06:44 PM

(yes we are Dax)

The beast seems familiar, but its hard to say from where. There are a few with annotations, but none of it dying. One annotation labels the bones as "victims", one labels its eyes with the annotation "weak point?".

the_begginer 25-May-19 06:47 PM

Nice. I investigate the other room.

Same modus operandi than the previous room.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 07:09 PM

The room is darker, because less light can reach it, but Hope can still see. There is a dull glass vase, with strapped on lid, and a bone with black residue on its side.

the_begginer 25-May-19 07:11 PM

I get closer to examine visualy the bones. Are this charred bones?

How big is the vase?

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 07:33 PM

The bone is aboout 8 inches long, and the vase is just big enough to hold it. The bone looks somewhat eaten away, but not at all charred.

the_begginer 25-May-19 07:37 PM

I pick the bone to perform a closer inspection. I try not to touch the black residues. I smell it, i touch the wall with the residue and one of the arrows to see if there is some kind of reaction. I want to identify or at least deduce how dangerous the residue could be to me.

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 07:41 PM

As you remove the bone and avoid the residue, you seem ok. It has an acidic smell, like lemons, but more like old, nastly lemons that have been sitting out in the yard too long. As you touch it to the walls and arrows, it starts to burn whatever it touches, eating away at the arrow tip. \

the_begginer 25-May-19 07:55 PM

Holy shit!! I take the vase very carefully. I take a sleeve of my shirt, wrap the vase an take it with my.

Is there any other exit of this room?

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 07:59 PM

The vase is stowed with you. There is no other exit from the room you're in besides the way you entered.

Reverend Levi McClain (Dax'olli) 25-May-19 08:13 PM

A short message appears as a small line in your view screens.

Dax has left the game...

the_begginer 25-May-19 09:26 PM

(What are my options then? The starting room?)

Mylonite (Hailey) 25-May-19 10:06 PM

(Yeah. You can go back there and move other places from there)

the_begginer 25-May-19 11:02 PM

I move through the door in the center.

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 10:32 AM

Hope enters into a hallway with a left or right turn.

the_begginer 26-May-19 10:43 AM

I go right

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 12:16 PM

The right path travels east then makes a u-turn and turns north, then comes to an intersection. There are two paths east, and one west. The one west is marked in black with an arrow pointing out of it.

the_begginer 26-May-19 12:18 PM

I go east.

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 12:29 PM

There are two ways east. First or second?

the_begginer 26-May-19 12:29 PM

First

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 12:35 PM

The path travels east, then south, then makes a u-turn north. Along the north path, there's a room split off to the side.

the_begginer 26-May-19 12:37 PM

I take a pick into the room. (Wgat do I see from the door)

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 12:40 PM

Not much. There is a desk on one end and a few torches around. It almost looks as if its been picked through.

the_begginer 26-May-19 12:43 PM

I check the desk anyway.

I chek the top and the bottom. Any drawers?

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 12:45 PM

There is a large drawer in the center of it. Inside the drawer, its dusty, but there is a square space without dust, as if something was there and has now been removed,

the_begginer 26-May-19 12:47 PM

I fiddle a little bit with the desk. I pull the drawer all the way out and chek the legs. After I countinue my way north.

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 12:52 PM

There does not seem to be anything else to the desk. Along the way north, there is an opening to the right side of the path, but its blocked off from the inside by some massive stone.

the_begginer 26-May-19 12:57 PM

Is it some kind of door? Is there an apparent mechanism to open it?

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 01:01 PM

There is no apparent mechanism to open it. Its impossible to hear anything on the other side.

the_begginer 26-May-19 01:02 PM

I continue north.

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 01:10 PM

As you travel north, there is one path that splits off the one your on, heading west.

the_begginer 26-May-19 01:14 PM

I stick to the right and go on.

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 01:16 PM

The path continues north, them makes a u-turn going south, then east. Then, there is an intersection, north and south.

the_begginer 26-May-19 01:21 PM

I turn to mi right. South.

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 01:26 PM

It goes straight south for a while before coming to a dead end. (roll a notice plz)

the_begginer 26-May-19 02:18 PM

(2d6=7)

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 02:25 PM

There is a red square etched into the floor at the base of the wall by the dead end.

the_begginer 26-May-19 02:31 PM

I get close to it, close as to be able to reach de mark with the tip of my bow. I hit the mark and retreat really fast.

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 02:52 PM

The area outlined drops down without any sign of stopping. What's left is a hole into the abyss below.

the_begginer 26-May-19 02:53 PM

I go back to the intersection and take the other path.

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 04:20 PM

The path winds around and eventually goes into a north-south split.

the_begginer 26-May-19 04:42 PM

I go north

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 05:31 PM

The path heads straight north before coming to an east and west split. Its hard to say what's down either way.

the_begginer 26-May-19 05:44 PM

I go east.

Mylonite (Hailey) 26-May-19 10:30 PM

It wraps around and ends up facing east. Ahead looks to be a dead end.

the_begginer 27-May-19 04:53 AM

I search for red marks on the flor or wall. A patch of wall diferent than the rest. I pay attention to the flame of my torch, trying to see if it flicker with a current of air coming from an unexpected place.

the_begginer 27-May-19 06:35 AM

I knock on the walls hoping to hear a hollow place.

Mylonite (Hailey) 28-May-19 09:04 AM

(roll notice)

the_begginer 28-May-19 09:53 AM

(2d6=7)

Mylonite (Hailey) 28-May-19 12:14 PM

You notice nothing about the dead end, but hear some stones knocked loose behind you. Someone is there.

the_begginer 29-May-19 02:01 PM

I notch an arrow jus in case. "I know you are there!! I can smell you from here!! Look, I have seen some prety scaring shit here that I can not take alone and I guess you can't either. Would you like to come out and team up for a while?"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 29-May-19 02:04 PM

Stopping in his tracks, Joshua calls out "If you promise not to shoot me, I'll come out. I've not seen anything scary, but I saw a weird ass drawing that disappeared when I put light up to it. Is that the kinda shit you're talking about?"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 29-May-19 02:30 PM

(Maybe, i responded in my thread yesterday but idk who would react first)

Mylonite (Hailey) 29-May-19 02:39 PM

(Hope noticed you, so I thought Hope should get first action)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 29-May-19 02:40 PM

the_begginer 29-May-19 02:51 PM

"I won't shoot. I have seen some nasty shit that may be lurking in this maze. Look.. I guess we may have a better chance of getting to the exit if we stick together. Once in front of the door we can toss a coin to see who goes out first or something. Only thing I will ask is not being stabbed in the back... I am allergic to that"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 29-May-19 02:55 PM

"Worst I could do right now is aggressively karate chop you in the back, haha. What were you investigating with that wall?"

the_begginer 29-May-19 02:57 PM

"I have encoutered several dead ends. I am checking if a dead end is all there is to find here. Are you unarmed? Have you picked any equipment?"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 29-May-19 02:58 PM

"Unfortunately I've encountered either dead ends, or in one 'lucky' case, a fancy chest that was guarded by a volley of arrows from the wall."

Mylonite (Hailey) 29-May-19 03:00 PM

Another check from Hope reveals that this is in fact nothing more than a dead end.

the_begginer 29-May-19 03:01 PM

I take the sword on my belt and hand it to you. "Ok. Let's go back to the last intersection. Take point" (edited)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 29-May-19 03:02 PM

"Sounds good." Joshua heads out infront of Hope, looking for the fork where he went right instead of left

Mylonite (Hailey) 29-May-19 03:04 PM

The other path zig zags north east until the two reach a long set of stairs similar to before. There's an opening up top with a room ahead.

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 29-May-19 03:16 PM

"Ive not been this way yet, so best to be ready in case." Joshua heads up the stairs enough to peak into the room and see whats ahead.

the_begginer 29-May-19 03:39 PM

I follow 2 steps behinde

Mylonite (Hailey) 29-May-19 11:25 PM

(notice roll from each of you)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 30-May-19 06:26 AM

(4)

Mylonite (Hailey) 02-Jun-19 04:35 PM

The room is brightly lit by torches on the wall. The room is suspiciously simple. It has no patterns on the walls or floor. There is a crate near the entrance, and the entire floor is a pale red color. There looks to be no flaws in any of the floor or wall tiles.

(Sorry I've been totally afk, got family in from out of town)

Mylonite (Hailey) 02-Jun-19 05:17 PM

There also looks to be a smaller room off to the side.

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 02-Jun-19 05:44 PM

(No problem, totally understandable)

Joshua tries to pick up the crate.

the_begginer 02-Jun-19 06:23 PM

I watch him from the door. Expecting to danger to come anytime now.

Mylonite (Hailey) 02-Jun-19 10:23 PM

The crate picks up easily. It's made of wood, but the top side has a similar tile-ing style to the walls and floor.

Merle Horník (Corn) 02-Jun-19 11:16 PM

There is a rattling noise coming from outside the room as Wes approaches then runs up the stairs. He looks pretty strapped if battle worn. His once meticulous hair and outfit now covered with spots of tar or torn and blood matted in places, a crate in his left hand with the top cut off of it, and put back on like a lid with what looks like a dagger blade sticking up out of the middle, the source of the rattling coming from inside. He also has a large claymore held over his shoulder with his right hand, a sword in a scabbard at his waist and a shield on his back. He stops just outside and looks through the doorway at Hope. "Interested in working together now? I'd really rather not fight you." (edited)

the_begginer 03-Jun-19 05:14 AM

I stay away from the newcomer with an arrow notched in the bow. "I am willing to talk, are you willing to share?" (edited)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 03-Jun-19 05:45 AM

"I'd also prefer not to fight. I feel that if we're going to fight, we should do it at whatever 'end' this maze offers."

Merle Horník (Corn) 03-Jun-19 06:50 AM

"Sure I'll share, havent found much I have a few extra daggers and a makeshift shield I made from cutting a side off a box and a dagger handle. As for the finish line, I don't care too much about crossing first, just having fun and getting out at all. They didn't say we all couldn't leave with rewards just the first one gets great rewards or something like that. So did you both kill one of those Tarbeasts to get here too?"

the_begginer 03-Jun-19 06:55 AM

"Nop, we are the lucky ones"

Merle Horník (Corn) 03-Jun-19 07:09 AM

Wes enters the room and puts down the crate. "Well you're welcome too it, I'd like to keep one of those daggers to use as a tool, but that's about it there's some shelf chunks in there, and I used the crate itself to get that chest in the arrows. Let's see if we can figure this room out." Wes looks around taking in the simplicity of the room and crate. "Have you tried touching the side of that crate that looks similar to the floor?"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 03-Jun-19 07:38 AM

"That's what I was thinking, this room is much... weirder than the other rooms. Far too simple for there to be nothing." Joshua carries the box into the middle of the room, and flips it so the side matching the floor and walls is down. He sets it down, expecting something to jump out at him.

the_begginer 03-Jun-19 09:10 AM

I check whats in the smaller room on the side.

Mylonite (Hailey) 03-Jun-19 01:10 PM

The torches glow a little brighter as they touch, but other than that, nothing.

The side room is another armory with a mix of bows, swords, claymores, daggers, staffs, clubs, any weapon they may need. Plus, there are shields.

Merle Horník (Corn) 03-Jun-19 01:15 PM

"Maybe try sliding it around different places?"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 03-Jun-19 01:53 PM

Joshua moves the crate, with the tile facing down, to right in front of the entrance that he and Hope came through. "Hey Hope, whats in that room?"

the_begginer 03-Jun-19 02:56 PM

I pick a sword to replace the one I gave away and pick a shield and hang it in my back. "Weapons and shields"

(There are no other exits of the main room? Just the stairs?)

Mylonite (Hailey) 03-Jun-19 09:40 PM

(Correct.)

They move the box around, but nothing happens. In one spot, it seems to want to sink a bit into the red marked floor, but doesn’t fully.

Merle Horník (Corn) 03-Jun-19 09:47 PM

"Maybe try standing on it?"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 03-Jun-19 09:50 PM

Shrugging his shoulders, he says "Worth a shot I guess?" He climbs on top of the box, trying to push it down with his bodyweight without going through it. (edited)

the_begginer 04-Jun-19 01:24 PM

"Try putting the part of the box that match the floor facing up and then push it down"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 04-Jun-19 01:44 PM

Flipping the box back to how it was, Joshua moves it to where it seemed to want to sink down, and tries to push it into the floor.

Mylonite (Hailey) 05-Jun-19 05:26 AM

The markings of the floor seem to sink a bit, as if struggling under the weight, but the box does not settle into place in any way, with either try.

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 05-Jun-19 06:56 AM

"Hope, you said theres weapons in there, right? What if we pop open this crate and load it up with weapons? It looks like it needs something to push it down further."

the_begginer 05-Jun-19 07:10 AM

"Look for a spot that sinks in the walls first:

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 05-Jun-19 07:15 AM

Joshua picks up the crate and tries to place it into the wall in a few spots around the main room.

the_begginer 06-Jun-19 04:19 AM

"Let try turning the light off"

Mylonite (Hailey) 06-Jun-19 06:21 AM

If anything, it’s less effective in other places. The red, off markings covering the floor remind Joshua of the ones from earlier as they work.

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 06-Jun-19 07:29 AM

Placing the crate on the ground, Joshua goes over to one of the torches and attempts to pick it up. (edited)

Mylonite (Hailey) 06-Jun-19 07:32 AM

The torches don't pick up and work similarly to the ones from the very first room, like ghosts, not really there. Players seem unable to interact with them directly, but other things are.

Merle Horník (Corn) 06-Jun-19 07:35 AM

"Maybe if we pried of the side off like I did with the shield it would sink in enough or if we tried to push someone down under it or inside the crate, those options all seem a little dangerous though."

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 06-Jun-19 07:46 AM

"Maybe. I was in another room that had this weird red coloring on it. I'm not sure what the hell was going on there, but when I picked up a torch and laid it near the painting of the monster on the floor, part of it sort of erased itself. Really weird stuff. Wes, can you try and knock down one of the torches with your sword?"

Merle Horník (Corn) 06-Jun-19 07:49 AM

"Sure I can do that." Wes takes his claymore in a two handed grip and tries to use it to knock a torch out of the sconce.

Mylonite (Hailey) 06-Jun-19 08:27 AM

The torch knocks down to the blow and rolls onto the floor, still lit. The red it rolls over disappears, revealing the rough floor below.

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 06-Jun-19 08:32 AM

(Do I still have the torch from before?)

Mylonite (Hailey) 06-Jun-19 08:33 AM

(I don’t see why not)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 06-Jun-19 08:37 AM

Joshua takes his torch and begins holding it over the flooring, removing the red below them.

Merle Horník (Corn) 06-Jun-19 08:38 AM

Wes takes the torch that he knocked down, and helps Joshua once Wes realizes what he is doing. (edited)

the_begginer 06-Jun-19 09:14 AM

I follow suit if I can get a torch knocked out the wall

Merle Horník (Corn) 06-Jun-19 09:16 AM

"Hmm, sure." Wes gives Hope his torch then tries to knock another one out of the wall for himself.

Mylonite (Hailey) 06-Jun-19 10:40 AM

Together they’re able to clear all of it. There’s a hole in the floor where the box was sinking earlier. The pattern around it matches the side of the crate.

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 06-Jun-19 10:45 AM

Joshua heads into the side room to grab himself some weaponry. He grabs a claymore, a sword and a shield. He slings the claymore over his back and goes near the crate. "Are we ready to see where this takes us?"

Merle Horník (Corn) 06-Jun-19 10:46 AM

Wes picks up the other crate again. "Sure, we should at least be able to see why it wasn't working now that the red stuff is gone."

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 06-Jun-19 10:48 AM

"Hopefully. This is such a strange room. Though, all of them have been strange in some way."

Mylonite (Hailey) 07-Jun-19 06:51 AM

(You guys dropping it in then?)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 07-Jun-19 07:19 AM

(Yeah, I didn't know if Hope wanted to do anything else but not really anything else to do in this room yet)

Joshua places the crate on the floor where it was previously attempting to sink, with the tiled side down.

Merle Horník (Corn) 07-Jun-19 08:09 AM

Wes braces himself and his crate for the floor to disappear or being teleported again. (edited)

Mylonite (Hailey) 07-Jun-19 08:28 AM

The crate sinks perfectly into the square hole in the floor. A crack forms in the north wall ahead, and it splits open, wide enough for them to fit through.

Merle Horník (Corn) 07-Jun-19 08:33 AM

"Well that wasn't so bad. I'm glad I'm working with you guys though, I would never have figured out the torches on my own."

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 07-Jun-19 08:38 AM

"I just got lucky in a different room and found what might be one of the few torches we can actually hold here." Joshua readies his sword and board, saying "I'll lead the way through the wall, as its what me and Hope agreed to."

Merle Horník (Corn) 07-Jun-19 08:40 AM

"Ok, after you then."

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 07-Jun-19 08:42 AM

Joshua slips through the hole, peering about, allowing enough room behind him for his compatriots to slide in behind.

Merle Horník (Corn) 07-Jun-19 08:46 AM

Wes follows after Joshua on the lookout for more traps, monsters or other players.

Mylonite (Hailey) 07-Jun-19 10:20 PM

( @the_begginer are you going through as well?) (edited)

Mylonite (Hailey) 09-Jun-19 01:14 AM

(Well day Hope is chilling outside the entrance, so that we’re not just abandoning her completely, but she’s not holding y’all back.)

Mylonite (Hailey) 09-Jun-19 01:49 AM

The room is clearly an arena. The floor is marked in red, and there are plenty of barrel shaped stones that could be used for cover. There is a minotaur statue on either end, each with its arms crossed. The far end of the room has a large rectangular section that looks like it could separate from the rest of the wall.

Merle Horník (Corn) 09-Jun-19 01:58 AM

Wes puts down his crate and looks over the room. His smile broadens and he tightens his grip on his claymore when he sees the minotaur statues. "Well it looks like we'll probably have to fight something here. At a quick glance I'd say those two minotaur statues maybe when we uncross their arms, then the door opens? Perhaps that's just wishful thinking though, got any other ideas?"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 09-Jun-19 07:08 AM

"Hopefully they 'activate' or something in someway that we control, I feel more confident fighting one at a time than having two of them out here where they could possibly gang up on one of us." Joshua flourishes his sword. "Well, lets see if we can uncross their arms. If that doesnt work, maybe we'll have to get rid of the red on the floor again?"

Merle Horník (Corn) 09-Jun-19 07:09 AM

"I mean we could always go back to the weapons room get some hammers and try to smash them before they activate, but then we might not be able to move forward, and it doesn't sound as fun?"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 09-Jun-19 07:38 AM

"I agree, not as fun. Worst case scenario, we smash them if we can't activate them somehow. Lets go try and move their arms ."

Merle Horník (Corn) 09-Jun-19 07:39 AM

"Ok, you had mentioned one at a time, should we try each statue first or moving both sets at once then the wall if that doesn't do anything?"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 09-Jun-19 07:46 AM

"I think one at a time, its safer that way but with this game, I feel like thats not how it works. But jf it doesn't work, we can try both sets at once."

the_begginer 09-Jun-19 07:47 AM

(I am sticking witthem. Sorry I have had some busy days)

Merle Horník (Corn) 09-Jun-19 07:48 AM

(no worries hope.) "Makes sense, do you want to move the arms or be on standby to smash things?"

the_begginer 09-Jun-19 07:50 AM

I will guard while you do your think. An arrow notched in the bow and paying attention for unexpected danger.

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 09-Jun-19 09:36 AM

"Alright, if you're ready Wes, we'll try and move this minotaurs arms," Points at one of the minotaurs "and Hope will back us up."

Merle Horník (Corn) 09-Jun-19 09:39 AM

"I'm ready, you move the arms and I'll smash him if he moves." Wes hefts his Claymore. (edited)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 09-Jun-19 09:41 AM

"Sounds good." Joshua uses all his might to try and pull thr minotaurs arms down to its side.

Mylonite (Hailey) 09-Jun-19 12:41 PM

The first minotaur’s arms uncross easily. A black mist begins to form on the far wall.

(Hope, gimme a notice roll please)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 09-Jun-19 02:30 PM

"That was easy enough to move. What the hell is this mist though?"

Merle Horník (Corn) 09-Jun-19 02:31 PM

" I don't know, nothing came alive yet , but it's probably bad news."

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 09-Jun-19 03:04 PM

"Not yet, but who knows what the hell happens when we move the other minotaurs arms."

Merle Horník (Corn) 09-Jun-19 03:05 PM

"Anyway, we should probably be ready to go through that door, or hide behind those barrels."

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 09-Jun-19 03:12 PM

"Aye, we should. Should we pull the other minotaurs arms now or see what the mist does?"

Merle Horník (Corn) 09-Jun-19 03:13 PM

"It'll either do nothing or something bad probably, so not much point waiting in my opinion, but I'll leave it up to you."

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 06:43 AM

(Marina I know you already rolled for shot, so since you’re first you can just go ahead and use that if you like)

Merle Horník (Corn) 10-Jun-19 07:08 AM

Severus Thatcher (Seung) 10-Jun-19 07:10 AM

(I'll roll again to make it fair. 19/7) Marina launchers an arrow at hope hitting them squarely. "Why work together when you can win alone you scum!" (edited)

the_begginer 10-Jun-19 07:28 AM

"Damm!! That hurts!!" I shoot back (21/1) and retreat to the other room searching for cover. "We have company and its not friendly at all" I say to the others while breaking the shaft of the arrow I have in my shoulder.

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 10-Jun-19 07:32 AM

(Yep we should have lol)

"Son of a bitch. It would have been nice to get through this all without a fight, but here we go!"

(Am I close enough to move up and attack Marina?)

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 07:42 AM

(Yeah, you're all close enough)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 10-Jun-19 07:43 AM

Running at the assailant, Joshua attempts to slice them with a swing of his sword.

(1d20 + 3 for attack? Whats damage?)

Merle Horník (Corn) 10-Jun-19 07:44 AM

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 07:59 AM

(Yes)

Wes runs to the other minotaur stature and tries to move its arms like the first one. (edited)

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 08:05 AM

The mist clears up and shapes words above the slit. "Only one can remain"

Severus Thatcher (Seung) 10-Jun-19 08:06 AM

Marina takes a shot at Wes. "What are you doing over there!" (22/3)

Merle Horník (Corn) 10-Jun-19 08:07 AM

(can you shoot when engaged in melee?)

Severus Thatcher (Seung) 10-Jun-19 08:10 AM

(there is no rules in this edition to stop it.)

Merle Horník (Corn) 10-Jun-19 08:11 AM

(oh ok, I wasn't sure if it was the same as rifles

.)

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 08:15 AM

(Wes, does that put you down?)

Merle Horník (Corn) 10-Jun-19 08:15 AM

(not yet.)

Svenka Vilnovha 10-Jun-19 08:15 AM

(O_O)

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 08:15 AM

(Hope up then)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 10-Jun-19 08:16 AM

(I forgot Wes killed that monster earlier)

the_begginer 10-Jun-19 08:54 AM

I take the clay jar I have in my waist and throw it at the feet of Mariana and Joshua in hopes that the content splash both of them.

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 09:19 AM

(Evasion saves for Marina and Joshua)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 10-Jun-19 09:19 AM

(Straight d20 right?)

Severus Thatcher (Seung) 10-Jun-19 09:20 AM

(after all my great rolls 4.) (edited)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 10-Jun-19 09:21 AM

(12)

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 10:59 AM

(3 dmg for Marina, 1 for Joshua)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 10-Jun-19 11:01 AM

"What the hell, Hope!" Joshua yells as he takes another swing at Marina. (13/7) (edited)

the_begginer 10-Jun-19 11:01 AM

(Do the thing stick to them and keep burninng?)

"Ohh!!! holy shit!!! I am sorry!! She messed my arm with that shot in my shoulder"

(I think is Wes up) (edited)

Merle Horník (Corn) 10-Jun-19 11:22 AM

Wes moves behind the barrels, goes prone , then starts trying to cut the bottom off of one with his claymore.

Severus Thatcher (Seung) 10-Jun-19 11:22 AM

Marina goes down to the ground. (Deads.) (edited)

the_begginer 10-Jun-19 11:28 AM

I am pissed at Wes because he did not help. I am going to go next to him and stab with my sword. (Do I get a bonus for attaking a prone target?)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 10-Jun-19 11:29 AM

(15/5 - 2 shock damage AC<=13) (edited)

Merle Horník (Corn) 10-Jun-19 11:33 AM

(aren't you guys in the front room, and I would snap attack if you just run there to try and kill me.)

the_begginer 10-Jun-19 11:34 AM

(We are all in the same room)

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 11:38 AM

(Lets get an exert check from Hope running from one side to the other)

the_begginer 10-Jun-19 11:39 AM

(5)

(That far away am I?)

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 11:40 AM

Hope is quick enough to get across the room, but not before the others are able to act.

the_begginer 10-Jun-19 11:42 AM

"Do you think we are going to make the dirty work for you while you hide so you can get out firts?!! NO NO NO!!! Die!!"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 10-Jun-19 11:44 AM

(Same initiative still? Does that mean I'm up?)

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 11:48 AM

(Yeah sans initiative just minus Marina, so you)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 10-Jun-19 11:52 AM

Joshua runs at Hope saying "He was trying to figure out how to get out of here!"

(Am I close enough to swing?)

Merle Horník (Corn) 10-Jun-19 11:52 AM

Wes drops his claymore and takes the shield off his back throwing it at the floor around joshua's feet. "Here make it across that finish line, and take this with you." (snap attack thrown 10 at a space so I think that hits?)

Wes gives a thumbs up as he dissolves into digital bits.

the_begginer 10-Jun-19 11:53 AM

~~(AC13)~~ (edited)

Merle Horník (Corn) 10-Jun-19 11:53 AM

(not at him at the floor near him.) (edited)

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 11:54 AM

(Josh, you’d have to run over to hope like she ran.)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 10-Jun-19 11:55 AM

(OK I thought I might)

(4)

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 12:01 PM

Josh makes it over near Hope, but not close enough to make a strike. (You could snap if you want, but that’s it)

(Could use that to grab the shield Wes threw you too)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 10-Jun-19 12:02 PM

Joshua quickly grabs the shield Wes threw him, dropping his own beforehand. "Dunno whats special about this one but he died giving it to me!"

Mylonite (Hailey) 10-Jun-19 12:04 PM

Josh feels a rush of strength and endurance as he picks it up. It glows a light blue, taking to the new user. (+5 HP, +2 con bonus when relevant. Properties of a normal shield)

the_begginer 10-Jun-19 12:08 PM

(What's the situation like now?)

Mylonite (Hailey) 11-Jun-19 02:48 AM

Marina and Wes are down. Joshua has the shield tossed to him by Wes. It’s Hope’s turn to attack.

the_begginer 11-Jun-19 05:22 AM

"Well. Its just us. You kept your word and didn't stab me in the back. The room is pretty clear only one must remain so how do you want to do it? Do we kill each other? Do we toss a coin? Rock paper scissors?" I ready my action to attack if he decides to attack me.

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 11-Jun-19 06:07 AM

"If one must remain, I think we should decide it with a duel. But, before we do that, I have an idea. The mist says one must remain, but does it mean only 1 person can be in the room? Maybe one person must voluntarily stay behind? This maze seems too complex to come down to a deathmatch."

the_begginer 11-Jun-19 06:38 AM

"Ok, lets try that"

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 11-Jun-19 06:58 AM

"Rock Paper Scissors for who leaves the room?"

(Probably be best to roll a d100 on roll20 to decide to wins RPS?)

the_begginer 11-Jun-19 07:27 AM

(Or we can message Hailey :)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 11-Jun-19 07:34 AM

(Yeah lol)

Mylonite (Hailey) 11-Jun-19 07:42 AM

(Up to you guys lol. It’s for you to figure out)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 11-Jun-19 07:51 AM

(What about Hailey picks a number between 1-100 and we guess a number each, winner of that wins RPS?)

the_begginer 11-Jun-19 08:28 AM

(Just roll a d2. 1 you win,2 I win)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 11-Jun-19 08:29 AM

(ok)

(Joshua Collins:rolling 1d2) (1) (=1)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 11-Jun-19 08:39 AM

Emerging victoriously from the epic Rock Paper Scissors duel with Hope, Joshua pumps his arm into the air. "This probably won't work anyway, but at least if it doesn't, we can have an honorable duel instead of back-stabbing."

the_begginer 11-Jun-19 09:44 AM

Being the looser I leave the room

See what happens

Mylonite (Hailey) 11-Jun-19 10:26 AM

The slit begins to open and a blinding light pours out.

It’s quickly Big enough to easily fit through and stops.

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 11-Jun-19 10:27 AM

"Hope step into here, lets see if it closes back up."

the_begginer 11-Jun-19 10:34 AM

I step in

Mylonite (Hailey) 11-Jun-19 10:44 AM

The door does not close back up.

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 11-Jun-19 10:47 AM

"Let's go on through."

the_begginer 11-Jun-19 11:51 AM

"Let's go"

Mylonite (Hailey) 11-Jun-19 11:53 AM

The brand above the door glows harder as they are seemingly unable to both enter together. (edited)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 11-Jun-19 11:55 AM

(Is that when we're both in the room together or when we try to cross through the door?)

Mylonite (Hailey) 11-Jun-19 11:56 AM

(When you try to cross through the door)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 11-Jun-19 12:00 PM

(It's physically stopping us right?)

the_begginer 11-Jun-19 12:01 PM

"Go first and see what happens" (edited)

Mylonite (Hailey) 11-Jun-19 12:02 PM

(Correct Joshua)

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 11-Jun-19 12:05 PM

"See you on the other side." Joshua attempts to cross the barrier alone.

Mylonite (Hailey) 12-Jun-19 06:58 AM

Joshua crosses through the barrier, and everything around him dissolves away into code as he emerges from the VR, and the Maze. He wakes up to a cheering crowd.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, you have your winner!!!”

Anderobi (Josh Collins) 12-Jun-19 07:23 AM

Joshua stands up and a gives a wave to the crowd.

Mylonite (Hailey) 12-Jun-19 09:17 AM

Joshua is congratulated and awarded the prize.
