I have two Glyphs to hand out. Ahas gets one being level 1. Not sure where the other one will go yet. I also have the Magical Mentor Boon if that is any help to anyone.

No need to worry as I have three glyphs to hand out. Everyone might get two.

I also have 2 glyphs, forgot about that.

Actually, I don't think the students are here yet.

Check out this post. That gaggle of young people are the students.

So, just to confirm it looks like we'll actually be in the lower tier, with 17 Challenge Points

And on that dramatic *Whaaaaaaa?!?* note:

Just a heads up, I am going to be away from my computer from about midday today (so ~12noonEST 12/24) through Monday 12/26 afternoon. I'll irregularly be able to check in and could make some quick posts, but likely nothing especially complicated.

Enjoy the holidays! (or at least just enjoy a weekend.) And stay safe and warm: it be cold out there (in pretty much all of the States at least)

Apologies for the late notice. I am so caught up in my holiday vacation and I am not able to update the games I play and run because I don’t have access to my laptop and I only have my phone right now. I will post when I finally get home either later or tomorrow.

Understandable: holiday celebrations and travel can be a bit chaotic.

I will be on holiday vacation again until January 3. I hope everyone wouldn't mind making the pace of this game a bit slow for a while so I can catch up to the story. Nevertheless, please bot me when necessary.

Looks like we are to match objects up with the riddle on the plaque, maybe rest them on or touch them to their partners?

As a THING is about to happen, and Ahas (and quite possibly others) are a bit occupied with IRL at the moment I'll make the next main post late on the 2nd/early the 3rd. Of course feel free to still post if you can/would like: Betel IC has some news to share with all of you!

And a slightly preemptive (or possibly belated for those in certain time zones) happy 2023 to all of you!

I meant to ask, is there a skill we can use to identify these things? Hopefully, Scouting Lore?

Ahas managed to id a bit about them here

If you want use an action to Recall more knowledge about them you could try Religion. [ooc]looking at your party’s Lores, none of them would really apply here -barring Esoteric Lore of course, but that’s that skill’s whole deal

Can the mirror be moved (I'm guessing not since it was described as a window) or are there other mirrors and, if so, do they work the same way?We could try a reflective surface like water.

Unfortunately the mirror can't be moved. It seems built into the far wall.

And I could have sworn I ha handed out some hero points here earlier, but I either dreamed it of the forum ate that post.

So let's give out a new point to Betel for doggedly discovering the ritual that might fix this whole thing (and doing good magic and cooking and other stuff too I guess :P) and to Ahas for valiantly fighting against his fellow scale-crew and repeatedly pushing themselves to their nagaji brink.

Sorry about the delay. I've been a bit preoccupied today and dealing with GMing a convention. I will hopefully create a post tomorrow when I have spare time. Sorry for the issue.

Well, that fight had some hits. I think Hancock is at least sort-of skilled in Meedicine, is that it for this party in Treating Wounds?

there are luckily four more potions for you all, and another Hero Point to the grumpy dwarf for double-timing it back quick enough to smash down the gremlins before they got out of hand.

Good point. I'll have to add a heal check to my post.

So, I'm thinking we need a shield, pitcher, and lodestone for the ritual we need to do in the room above A4. I suspect the students will need to do the ritual so we will need to guide them to the components and the room.

The armory/A6 (not the practice yard) is probably our best bet for a shield.
I don't think we have found the lodestone yet, but if it is heavy then the oil of weightlessness would come in handy.
A pitcher should be in the kitchen, but we should check the unexplored rooms in case there is a specific pitcher we need.

There is probably a puzzle to solve to get into the rooms upstairs. Perhaps we need to get a student to open a door before we can go through?

The students do have a shield, currently carried by Tels (there was also one in the training room, though the armory has more as well) and Vim is carrying about a pitcher full of water.

At least based on the notes you found, the only item that needs to be a specific version of it is the lodestone, which should be in Armeline's quarters.

If you want the students to go upstairs with you and open the door, Communicate with them in the IC thread.

(you also notice that Tels, Vim, and Hari seem a bit easier to Communicate from Beyond with - due to your bonding with them waaaaay back before you even set out from the Grand Lodge.)

So GM I made a mistake and missed the part where I needed to move in to attack. I'll fix it a little later

And we are pretty much wrapping up here. Congratulations on surviving yet another Delightful Disaster around the Dacilane Academy (and preventing it from spiraling into something worse)!

Please check your info/details above to make sure the information's accurate. There'll be another post or to in the IC channel to wrap things up and RP, and I look to have chronicles out by weekend's end.

And with that, you all having successfully solved the most recent of the Dacilane Academy's Delightful Disaster (s)! Congratulations!!!

Chronicles can be found
