Waterbrick Down Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 QM Note: Because of the nature of the puzzle, you'll only get one guess.
MysticModulus Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Ezeran peers down the different pipes trying to figure out which way to go. He starts humming on a song as he ponders the situation. "Hum huuuuuum hum hum-hum-hum Hum huuum huuum hum-hum, Hum hum hum hum... "The unsingable song of a rat, he fancies wearing a hat, Caring not for gold or fame, That is all the same, For a rat is just a rat, hiding under a mat, Loving only cheese and ale, his heart was not on sale, For a rat is truly a rat, Not flying like a bat, Lurking near and far, don't leave your door ajar. Hum huuuuuum hum hum-hum-hum Hum huuum huuum hum-hum, Hum hum hum hum........."
Rider Raider Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 OOC: One guess per person or one guess in all?
MysticModulus Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Ezeran laughs out. The symbiont who is caught asleep yawns. "Old? Well I've seen a lot during my life time but time is, how shall I put it, highly subjective for me."
Waterbrick Down Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 QM Note: Just for clarification, the topwards most chain on the right hits a wall and is not an opening. All incorrect answers are voided thus far, feel free to give it another go if you need to.
dum Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Ezeran laughs out. The symbiont who is caught asleep yawns. "Old? Well I've seen a lot during my life time but time is, how shall I put it, highly subjective for me." I guess so. Kid chuckles a bit, inspecting the path of the pipes. Where I'm from, some even consider me an elder. He smiles somberly while thinking of his family. Leprechauns just... don't live for very long.
Rider Raider Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Timothy sits back, looking for the tunnel. He then overhears a bit of Kid and Ezeran's conversation, and decides to chime in."Compared to my fellow Satyrs, I'm considered very young. I still have a few hundred years left."
Palathadric Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 "Come on, Hunkan! Let's climb up. Maybe we'll catch some of those whispy things up there."
dum Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Timothy sits back, looking for the tunnel. He then overhears a bit of Kid and Ezeran's conversation, and decides to chime in."Compared to my fellow Satyrs, I'm considered very young. I still have a few hundred years left." Or, you might have a lot less. We could all die tomorrow. Would that make us old now? Kid ponders his existence for a second. Age is a strange thing. I always assumed people gain wisdom with age, but we're being led by a five year old Knight who's probably wiser than all of us combined.
BountyBeast Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 "Come on, Hunkan! Let's climb up. Maybe we'll catch some of those whispy things up there." "I'm coming, I'm coming." Hunkan stands up and climbs up to the others, disappointed that his question on page 17 was ignored.
Alfadas Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Torald hears Kid mutter on about age and dying tomorrow. Hey, don't lose hope, or faith, whatever you like. We are strong, when we are together, we will overcome all odds! Torald tries to lighten up the mood. And, Hunkan, to answer your question from a while back, we only found an orange lady down there, similar to the Salt dude we found earlier. Edited April 24, 2016 by Alfadas
MysticModulus Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Ezeran waves towards Hunkan. "What was down there? Except a rooted inorganic damstrel in distress, not much." . Ezeran smiles towards Kid. "Subjective age is probably relative to different realms. That boring quantum reality again..."
BountyBeast Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 "So there wasn't a lot that I missed then? Good. Now how to get through this mess..." Hunkan inspects the pipe entrances, attempting to feel a breeze coming from one of them. "I've navigated caves in the past, so this shouldn't be too hard."
Waterbrick Down Posted April 24, 2016 Author Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) After much debating, the group finally discovers Pipe E to be the path forward (Kid, Ezeran, and Petaldan gain XP!).

Palathadric Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 "Ezeran, if you want to equip your hood again, I could take those Shackles of War off your hands for now in case we run into those wisps again. I suggest we go to the Athanor before going to the furnace, but somebody should probably wait here to make sure nothing tries to escape. Perhaps if those wisps are here we can try to lure them out so we can combat them together.
MysticModulus Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 "That's a great idea Petaldan, here take them!" Ezeran gives Petaldan his shackles and equips his cap instead. "I agree, let's go to the Athanor with due haste!"
Palathadric Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 I equip the Shackles of War and lead the party to the Athanor. "Does anyone want to stay back? No pressure."
Waterbrick Down Posted April 25, 2016 Author Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) The Party descends into the Athanor. Inside the group finds a small pool of green goo that smells similar to a potion. A glass stopper can be seen at one end of the chamber and swirling above the stopper are the remaining two Wisps. "Come on we won't go far, just let us out of this jar." Edited April 25, 2016 by Waterbrick Down
BountyBeast Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 "What, and let you burn all of Eubric down to the ground? I don't think so. We took out your brother, we can easily take out you too."
MysticModulus Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Ezerans gaze hardens as he sees the wisps. "Your doom awaits you little ones!"
Waterbrick Down Posted April 25, 2016 Author Posted April 25, 2016 "Oh but we give you power, just let us out for an hour!"
