Ok post is up.

Impulse its been over a month since you said you'd join and we have yet to see an in-game post from you. I gotta ask when do you plan to post? If your having trouble getting into the character, maybe I or the other players can help. Let us know as I need to get her actively back into the game.

Also Schnoozle you have not posted in 20 days are you still in?

Impulse, Schnoozle I hate to seem pushy, forceful, or just a plain ole asshole but I need to know this so I know if I have to find new players.

Please let me know thanks

Four questions:

1. No mention of exits was mentioned. Is it safe to assume that the doorway we came in is the only one we can see?
2. Walked for an HOUR? Do we have an estimate of how far we walked? In a straight line, correct? the tower did not seem this big from the outside, did it?
3. The boxes - do they look like they will open? is there an obvious lid?
4. Did any of the side rooms we passed seem to have any other exits?


A 7'x4' sarcophagus? Or a group of them? Those are big.

Me to.
The seven boxes are 7x4 but how deep? 7x4x4, 7x4x1 ?????

We have been walking for an hour, so is that in a straight hall or in a spiral going up or down? Were their stairs?

Cor should be able to sense if we are going down.

BTW - I goofed and thought I was on Q&A and posted this in story, so I deleted it. So if you are looking for an Ody post I took it down.

1. No mention of exits was mentioned. Is it safe to assume that the doorway we came in is the only one we can see? Yep 1 way in 1 way out as far as you can tell without searching.
2. Walked for an HOUR? Do we have an estimate of how far we walked? In a straight line, correct? the tower did not seem this big from the outside, did it? Yep your sure it was an hour and about a mile and a half in a rough estimate. And no it did not seem that big.
3. The boxes - do they look like they will open? is there an obvious lid? Nothing you can see without cleaning away the layers of dust covering the boxes.
4. Did any of the side rooms we passed seem to have any other exits? Not from passing by them and just looking in. If you want to do a detailed search feel free to back post that you do so and how and who is doing your searching.

The seven boxes are 7x4 but how deep? 7x4x4, 7x4x1 ????? 7x4x6 sounds about right

We have been walking for an hour, so is that in a straight hall or in a spiral going up or down? Were the stairs? Straight line, level corridor, no stairs, no going up or down.

Cor should be able to sense if we are going down. As far as he can tell the corridor has not slanted up or down.

If you are looking for an idea, Alyia could use the Cantrip "Clean" to remove the dust and dirt from the boxes. That might help reveal and writing left.

We walked down this long hall, looked into several empty rooms, into large room at the end of hall that has ten large boxes.

Are there any doors in this big room besides the one we used to enter?

The previous post, I just though we were bedding down so I didn't have anything to add. I'll have a post soon though.

I'll just go ahead and if you feel like it's super OOC for aliya/ a poor choice for her just lemme know and I'll edit

EDIT: What's our goal right now? Are we looking for some sarcophaguses or something? We're trying to find our way back to the present for all I know correct?

Well from Sirene's prayer it seems we are looking for a sword.
But we never really know until we find something. We have found these boxes and don't know what there are. We need to find a way to move on and it may be in or under one of the boxes. There could be great danger in them too. We don't seem to have an clues yet either. Breaking open a box could be bad or good. Pushing a box around could be good or bad.

Just write what you think Alyia would want to do? Act, investigate, watch others or make suggestions.

You can make suggestion here in Q&A if you want others opinion.

That's actually a smart idea. I'll post what I think aliya/Roan whichever I'm taking over and I'll say what I think and you guys can lemme know if it fits

But I've Dropped Schnoozle from the game due to lack of posting for 3 weeks and nothing said as to why. However I have asked Impulse to play Roan instead of Alyia and I think I already have a new female player for her.

So we are looking good so GAME ON! as they say

Ok, one more for the GM:

The boxes are 4' deep. Does it look like one solid box, or might they be on a pedestal of some sort? Yeah, we probably have to clean it first.

To the group:

*I like the suggestion of a clean spell. That seems like the best choice and it is clear that we need to start with the boxes.
*Is there a good way to detect an illusion? Just a detect magic spell? Should someone do that on the hallway?

I'll post for Lothor - probably having him check the floors. But I think spell casters might want to post first.

Remember that since moving inside magic has been unreliable at best. Might be easier to simply brush off the dust. Looks like the meat shields are getting more valuable.

We probably need to check the boxes as all of them are large enough to contain the item we seek.

Magic is unrtliable, but the clean cantrip did work once. I'd give it a shot.

Are we looking for a thing? Somehow I was envisioning a place more than an object. Did I miss something? Do we know what we are looking for?
**edit**. I just saw the comment on the sword above. I'm not sure that is what the spell meant. Remember the central role of a sword in everything that is happening.

I was guessing that there would be some sort of undead critters in these things - and maybe a passage down.

The spells are working, they just seem to end oddly. So the Clean Cantrip should work.

The prayer said, "Priceless blades of destruction
At the place of power lay"

So we are still looking for a place of power and there we should find "Priceless Blades of Destruction". It doesn't say they are evil swords, they may be what we need to help back in our time to take down the baddies. Or they could be the swords that the Sword Wraith's have to give them power.

Wow the possibilities!!

----------------------
Of course we could have misunderstood the message.
""Woe and death before you lay
Center path straight night and day
Sweet music of death the price we'll pay"

The center path could be the straight path to woe and death.

Wow more possibilities!!

Ok, I think Ody just made a comment from before my entry into the game.

The "sword wraiths?" (It was actually typed as 'sword wraths, but I'm guessing here.) Are these nine wraiths that serve the bad guy, he-whose-name-I-can't-remember? And was it nine? I'm just speculating on the number, of course, as there are 7 extremely large sarcophagus looking things in front of us.
