Comrade Commander Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Darksten swaggers into the room, glances around at the still spinning room, and strolls over to the wardrobe, opening it to check its contents Quote
Kintobor Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) "Well, pleased to meet you, sir," Deus said, good-naturedly to the bear. "I see. We did run into some spiders, right on the boundaries of Murkwood. They were strong, but we were victorious in the end. I don't know how many more we could take on at one time though," Deus replied, worriedly. "Grauu. <Oh, please, no need to be formal around me.> Grauu growl... <Chin up, lad. There are worse monsters in the world than a bunch of spiders. Although, I've heard rumours about their queen being right vicious...>" Darksten swaggers into the room, glances around at the still spinning room, and strolls over to the wardrobe, opening it to check its contents Still somehow drunk, Darksten stumbles into the wardrobe and opens it with a general lack of privacy. Tossing out various items and skirts, Darksten manages to find nothing of interest except a single gold coin. Unless he considers girls clothing interesting...

If he returns, he can participate again, but he will not receive the loot or EXP. he missed. I'll move you guys along tomorrow. Edited June 24, 2014 by Kintobor Quote
Comrade Commander Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 "Humph..." Darksten says as he pockets the coin before moving to the night stands to see what is in there. Ooc: you had to make her 15 didn't you? Haha! I should also have my lucky coin in my inventory Quote
Kintobor Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 QM Note: Hey, you're the one who decided to rummage through her wardrobe. Fixed. I'll update you guys shortly. Quote
Lego Spy Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) "Hmm, I see," Deus grimaced as he mentioned the queen, "Well, I best be off. It looks like Kianu's rounding everyone up." He walked over to Kianu, and prepared to leave. Edited June 26, 2014 by Lego Spy Quote
Comrade Commander Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Darksten continues to rummage though the two night stands, but begins to eye the bed next to him. His head was beginning to hurt from all the booze. He decided that after searching the night stands, he was going to take a nap/rest. Quote
Kintobor Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 "Hmm, I see," Deus grimaced as he mentioned the queen, "Well, I best be off. It looks like Kianu's rounding everyone up." He walked over to Kianu, and prepared to leave. Deus looked around but couldn't find Kianu. It seemed like she'd been off to pray. However, emerging from the woods, Dues can see Kianu reemerge, looking more content. She waves to him as she returns. "Grauu. <Alright. Take it easy, lad, and best of luck in your endeavour.>" Sir Bearington heads back to the stream to take a drink. Darksten continues to rummage though the two night stands, but begins to eye the bed next to him. His head was beginning to hurt from all the booze. He decided that after searching the night stands, he was going to take a nap/rest. Darksten, exhausted from raiding the house and the wardrobe, decides now would be an opportune time to take a blissful nap... but it doesn't last for very long. He recovers one health before the ground begins to tremble and quake. Getting up and looking out, Darksten and the others on the ground see an explosion of woodland animals come flying out of the woods, all of them heading in the same direction: beyond the forests borders! Kianu rushes to get out of the way, ducking away at the last minute as the animals flee in terror! "Sqree, sree! <Run, quickly! Out of the way!>" "AWOOO! <No time to stop now, just keep running!>" "Neeeigh! <There weren't no muffins in these woods...>" Once the stampede was over, the entirety of the Thicket was quiet. Not a noise was heard but the wind in the trees. Kianu meanders over to the party, looking worried. "I've never seen so many creatures spooked like that before. Whatever's got them on the run can't be good for us..." The party can hear a scratch-shratch-scratch as Darksten walks out and notices two juvenile spiders pawing at the front door, a frantic look on their eye. "Help! Please, someone help us!" "We don't wanna die!" Kianu readies her staff for battle. "Spiders! What do you two want?" Kianu seems a bit more intimidating than before. The two spiders cower as she raises her staff. "Oh, please don't crush us! Please hear us out!" Quote
Comrade Commander Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Darksten is still groggy from his quick nap, but at least his head wasn't pounding anymore. The last of the booze seemed to have left his body. Looking at the spiders he says "ugh, speak fast, because we have little reason to believe you are on our side" Edited June 27, 2014 by Comrade Commander Quote
Kintobor Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) "You must not let the spiders get me and Morxes! We're royalty!" "Lyrel and I's dad was the guy in charge of the spiders until the big, mean scorpion guy came along and... and..." "He's talking about Aranoc. I think I already told you about him. I think... well, he was the ruler of the spiders until the proggs came along. He... he met his end at the hands of one of their ring leaders. His name escapes me at the moment, but he's old news. The heroes of Luosh ripped him a new one. However, I still don't know why you two are on the run. Why are the spiders trying to kill you two?" "Lolth! Oh please don't let her get us!" The two begin to jitter and shake. It looked like they'd been in a lot. Kianu lowers her staff. "Lolth... I've never heard that name before. Perhaps we should start to ask them some questions?" Edited June 27, 2014 by Kintobor Quote
Comrade Commander Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Darksten looks to the tree line in an effort to spot any trouble as he questions the two spiders "If you are spider royalty, why are your minions trying to kill you? Why are your kin sealing off these woods? Spit it out, what is really going on?" Quote
Lego Spy Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Deus had rushed to the house when the spiders had appeared, and he was watching them carefully - he had a feeling they could be trusted. But he wasn't going to be jumping to any conclusions. Edited June 28, 2014 by Lego Spy Quote
Kintobor Posted June 29, 2014 Author Posted June 29, 2014 Darksten looks to the tree line in an effort to spot any trouble as he questions the two spiders "If you are spider royalty, why are your minions trying to kill you? Why are your kin sealing off these woods? Spit it out, what is really going on?" "We're the last in the line to the throne! If Lolth finds us, she technically has the right as leader of the Murkwood spiders!" "With us still alive, there's the potential for unrest! She needs us dead to take full control of the area! Oh, please spare us!" "Dad told me that the spider did have a leader, and that he was massive. I seriously hope this Lolth isn't that big. I... kind of have that phobia of spiders... whatever the fancy word for it is..." Quote
Comrade Commander Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 "Kianu, what has your experience with the spiders been? You had mentioned your father had issues with them before? Perhaps we might benefit from new leadership, and no unrest..." Quote
Kintobor Posted June 29, 2014 Author Posted June 29, 2014 Kianu frowns at the ranger, looking put off. "Are you suggesting we side with this Lolth character? A woman who hunts down kids who have ties to a throne don't really sound all that nice. I personally don't like the spiders, but my first real fight with one was today. My dad did have problems with the spiders, but he respected Aranoc deeply. Things have changed since Aranoc died. Dad told me to avoid the spiders at all costs, and it seems someone's finally took control. Do what you feel is necessary. However, we're still going to the Misery Mire to find my father." "Lolth's lair..." "What?!" "That's where she is! The Misery Mire! It's so scary over there..." Kianu looks dumbfounded, which soon turns to worry. "Do you... do you guys think that Lolth has my dad? We really should get going. Are you guys ready?" Quote
Comrade Commander Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 "I prefer to know both sides of a story before I jump to a conclusion, but if you want to offer your house as a refuge, I am ready to go find the full story... And hopefully your father." the ranger says, thinking to himself there had to be more to this story. Quote
Kintobor Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 "Deus... what do you think on all this? Are you ready to head out?" Quote
Lego Spy Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Deus stood in silence for a few moments before replying to Kianu. "I'm not sure, to be honest. If what these spiders are saying is true, then I believe your father may have been captured. If they're lying, I'm really not sure," He said, slowly. "Otherwise, I'm ready to head out. But how long will it take to reach the Misery Mire?" He questioned Kianu, "I might use a Potion depending on how long we're travelling." Edited July 1, 2014 by Lego Spy Quote

"I hope he's okay... Well, I can heal us if necessary. If you guys want me too..." Quote
Comrade Commander Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 "It would have been better to get a nice rest" Darksten thinks to himself. But out loud he says... "Can you walk an heal? That would be preferred. Otherwise I guess we should heal up quickly... You might also want to say a prayer over this lodge if you want to protect these spiders" Quote
Kintobor Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) "We'll be okay if we hide in here!" "Thank you for not squishing us, sir." Kianu opens the door and lets the two spiders in before closing the door. "I hope they don't break anything... Come on, I'll heal you guys as we make it to the Misery Mire. Let's go!" Kianu leads the party into the woods as they head North, making their way through the briar and brush. As they walk, they notice the woods are dead silent. The only thing they hear is the wind rustling the trees, and occasional snapping of underbrush beneath their feet. Kianu begins to heal the party, looking over wounds and chanting a few prayers. Before they know it, the party feels better. Kianu spends four ether healing the party.

A stagnant, decaying smell wafts in the air as the foliage around them begins to turn thicker and wetter. Vines and moss cover the trees and the forest begins to turn darker and darker as the ground becomes soggy and damp. Looking up, little to no light makes it through the trees above, and occasionally the party can hear rustling and skittering about them. "Dad told me to never come to this place. I can see why. We're at the edge of the Misery Mire." Looking around, Kianu notices that something's amiss. "Crud. We've got a problem. The path ahead is too dark to progress. We don't know what's in there..." Looking around, she stumbles upon a few lanterns, turning them around and inspecting them. "I think we could use these, but we still need to decide where to put them..." Lighting the Way Ahead lies the Misery Mire, a foul and dark place with a reputation equally horrifying. The party needs to use the fewest lamps possible to light up each path, indicated by black lines (assume the diagonal lines are straight for the purpose of the puzzle, and start and end at their respective intersections). Where should these lamps go? Each member who participates will receive one full level of experience. QM Note: A Puzzle! Feel free to ask questions, and if need be I can lighten the image up and make it bigger. Edited July 3, 2014 by Kintobor Quote
Comrade Commander Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Darksten moves around in the darkness, trying to get a feel for the land. He takes a torch from Kianu and holds it above his head in order to see how far its light travels OOC: awesome! This will be fun! I think I can manage, but if you could make a smidge brighter it would be appreciated. As for the lamps, do they light up a set number of studs, an entire path, etc? (or are we supposed to find out on our own? Lol!) also, do we get to make multiple attempts or just try and decide on one final solution? Finally, I should have my lucky coin in my inventory. Thanks! Now I will get back to figuring this thing out... Edited July 3, 2014 by Comrade Commander Quote

The light travels down the path their on to a point where it something stops it's path, a split in the road it seems. QM Note: Perhaps I should've been more clear. Lamps can be placed on intersections and corners, and the light they emit travels in a straight line, as well as in all directions possible. Per example, if I placed a lantern on an intersection going North, East, and South, the light would travel in those three directions until it hit a wall. Take a turn to try it out if you need a visual. As well, take note that you must complete the puzzle with the least amount of lamps possible. You get multiple attempts. I don't think it'd be fair if I just gave you one chance. Also, I'll post the brighter image when I get a chance. Quote
Comrade Commander Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 OOC: Great! Thanks! Darksten kneels down in the damp soil and sletches out some ideas. He calls over to his companions: "Do you guys have any ideas?" Quote
Comrade Commander Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Darksten amrks out his plan until he is happy "Well, seems like no one has any ideas and/or objects to mine" Turning to Kianu he says "Can you help me set everything up? I want to make sure you participate in this. " OOC: I will be traveling this weekend, and while I am likely to have internet readily available, I am giving you an advanced warning just in case I cannot get on regularly. Could get really quiet in her! lol! Edited July 4, 2014 by Comrade Commander Quote
Lego Spy Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 "Here, I'll help too," Deus said to Darksten, taking a lantern from Kianu's hand. OOC: Darn, Darksten got here first! Quote
