Happy birthday Ceven!
@Tarphrex: You went to Death Valley in September? You're a brave, brave person. I went in early spring and it was still uncomfortably hot. (The wildflowers were gorgeous though.)
@Elisani: Nope, I'm a smart little lizard. I've learned from the mistakes of previous generations of tiny dragons. Until you can fly, Death Valley in September is a no-go.
Thank you, thank you! Yeah, the sun was nice ... next to a pool. With am aggresively air conditioned room to retreat to. Really nice.
The driving, well, we made that fun too.
Happy Birthday, Ceven!
With the fall creeping in here, the idea of uncomfortably hot sounds... almost lucrative.
Apologies for the delay, but happy birthday! Glad to hear the trip was nice!
Confession: it took me a little bit to realize Death Valley was an actual park in California and this wasn't some extended bit between you guys that I didn't get ahahaha
That made me smile, yeah, it's totally a thing here.
Absolutely a real place.
It is, however, still a bit. I have no idea where Ceven went on their trip. Could have been Death Valley, could have been Starved Rock, Big Bone Lick, the Glass Beach, or a nice hotel.
Immediately adding Big Bone Lick to my list of places to visit. Great name, no notes.
Gonna wait and see if either Sherman or Elisani has anything clever they can do to make our invisible ogre foe visible again.
Nothing on Sherman, not even a good ol' sack o' flour.
But I do believe Tarphrex had glitterdust on his spells(?)
So also waiting if the enemy comes visible.
Sorry, been distracted by a work catastrophe.
Keep in mind, as the map shows, only Vale and Ceven were in the room to see the creature turn invisible. So glitterdust may help, if Tarprhex can figure out where to cast it.
"Everyone! Be extremely careful! One of them just vanished, as though it became invisible! I'm not sure if there's enough debris in here for me to create a windstorm or anything ... but if it's an ogre mage, it may even be able to fly."
Great, this helps. One minor nit, this is the ooc thread. Can you move it to the game thread? I will respond accordingly.
I'm sick and not up to writing. Sorry folks. Can someone bot me as necessary until I feel human again?
Get well soon. We've got you covered.

I'll bot you. Elisani viscouscly attacks the fruit in her pack, scoring a critical hit against the hunger. Mark off three bananas and two oranges from your inventory.
Also a reminder to everyone to move your pawns. Maps, page 9.
I forgot to mention it and wasn’t sure if you rolled it behind the screen.
Hey, random thing. When you all post, does it show the time posted as in your time zone or the Pacific time zone?
Pacific, I'm pretty sure. Otherwise I'm posting on hours I usually am not awake for.
Not my time zone for sure, so let's assume it's Pacific for all.
It used to be my local time, but it may have changed as they modify the site's underpinnings. I posted early the other day, but not 4:02am.
Here's a test - Sherman, what time to you see for Tarphrex' previous post in this thread? If it's 4:02am, we are pinned to a time zone together because I know we are in different zones.
Do people see that? Today? Is this a browser thing?
I see times TOMMORROW, right now I see Tarphex's post as 1hr 40minutes ago (which of course is always an absolute referrence as opposed to interpreted).
Are people seeing actual times midday?
@Ceven: It says that now. But adjustes to relative time of posting. So if you look back at older posts (and eventually this post), it will say "Mon, Sep 29, 2025, 01:33 pm ".
@Tarphrex: I see 6:20 as the timestamp on your post.
That’s the now-latest post, but it confirms the theory, they are pinned to a single time zone, presumably Pacific.
