Tymythy - I highly encourage moves like that. The chances might be small but the payoffs will balance them. There is no sign of a current urgency - though I also encourage everyone to use their time well.
Corey, I appreciate the way you allowed the use of Tymythy's Improvisational Equipment trait that way.
I love items like the Anytool, stuff that can be useful in all manner of situations, but it does kinda conflict with Tymythy's trait that allows him to use just about anything on hand for any job with minor penalties.
Thank you - traits should give a character flavour. As long as they don't stray from their spirit or upset play balance then I'm for it.
One of the first games you and I played together I played Jibril the (mostly) un-magical half-elven ranger. His charisma was low but his wisdom was good. He was a quiet thoughtful sort of elf.
He had the trait elven serenity (+2 diplomacy/handle animal when trying to create a sense of calm) that I wish also extended to the ranger's 'wild empathy' ability.
Happy Finnish independence day, folks!
Happy Finnish Independence Day!!!
Also, Happy Birthday to our tortu-I mean, GM, Corey!! <3
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää!
Thank ye, and congrats to Corey. Good taste in the choice of date, I must say. Compliments to your parents ;^)
HA!

On a more Turtu - I mean 'GM' related note.
I designed this challenge as the final challenge. It is meant to be harder than the rest, requiring keys found from the other challenges to even enter. Please know that this is a very high stakes part of the game.
You've all done very well so far. Do everything you can think of. Some of you have made some real progress. Keep going.
You all have little pieces of how this challenge works. Keep going.
And, most of all, thank you. There are things that work well in PBP games and things that really should be avoided. It is only that I have trust in you that I would have tried something with so much blind space. I mean - making everyone post in spoilers! Who does that?!
I guess we all know the answer and he's very grateful for your hard work and your playing along.
Happy Finnish Independent Corey Day!
I'm finding this challenge to be very exciting and tense. I think it works because I am such an excellent player we are all thoughtful and mature and trust each other...especially our TM! (I totally thought Cairee was going for tortoise, and then realized that I can't spell).
Looking forward to see where this goes, and what is chosen!!
I'm late to the party but I also wish you a happy Finnish Independence Day, Tymythy!
And Happy Belated Birthday, Corey!
And congrats to the ones who have made good progress in this challenge because Zahra is grateful to you :)
I am also finding this very suspenseful and look forward to seeing how it all plays out for good or for ill. Of course I'm hoping for good
Sorry all. I have a family matter to take care of. I'll post as soon as I can.
Dounia, Tymythy, Zahra - what were the 'clues' we found in other challenges? In the arena challenge there were the voices talking about Cairee being the 'woman in the tower'. And the trap challenge had the riddle about Zahra: "When dragon takes man form, dragon takes man weakness". Did we find one in the first challenge? Or the mirror challenge? I'm wondering/hoping those will help us here...
