I have no intentions of switching to 2E but will probably check it out though.

Sending positive/healing thoughts your way!
I'm sorry Jacob, but no I can't make anything out. When the golem finally moves, Akirra is encouraged a bit. Ok, so it does understand me to some degree. Not overly helpful yet however. He alternately watches both Kieran and Ansha, keen to see if either makes a discovery.
Akirra's brow furrowed. He contemplated tugging on one of the books comprising the golem to see if it could be freed from the construct. Seeing Ansha approach he vocalized his thought. Do we dare try to remove a book from it? Before attempting, he decided to try asking the golem again . I need a book on local flora and fauna. May I please have it? Over his shoulder he addresses the others. Perhaps there is something in that chest that might help us sort this out? I wonder if the library shelves only appear empty, he muses aloud. Would your vision reveal books rendered invisible via some sort of illusion Ansha?
Stumped as to how to interact with the golem, Akirra raises his hands in a peaceful manner before indicating that he intends to touch the construct with a single finger. If the golem does not react to his slowly approaching digit, Akirra touches it.
Akirra steps closer to the golem and continues to address it in Azlanti. Do you understand me? I have a question. Do you have a function here?
Akirra keeps his eyes upon the golem as Ansha steps tentatively into the room.
Akirra joins Ansha at the door and peers in. He repeats Ansha's greeting and question in Azlanti.
At the sound of Ansha's voice, Akirra steps out into the hallway to see who she is talking to. Have you found someone?
I will stick with this new one yes. And welcome back!
Glad to hear you are feeling well enough to continue!
Great news!
I talked with Alex again today and he has had a setback and is back in the ICU. :(
Jacob! Welcome back! :)
UPDATE: I've talked to Alex and he wanted me to let you guys know that he has been admitted to hospital with pneumonia. He is currently out of the ICU and recovering, but will likely remain in hospital for at least another week or two.
Getting better is the priority! We'll be here when you are fit to return. :)
What Joana said. :)
Anyone hear anything about Alex? I hope he is doing well.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Akirra has no outward reaction to Kieran's comments.
Akirra forces a pained smile and nods. That would please me, is his only reply.
I haven't had any issues with my maps either, nor anything to do with "JWrapper". Now perhaps it is because I made my own shortcuts in my Rocket Dock?
As Akirra is showered with refusals, and reminded once again that he is a man out of time and without any of his own kind, something deep inside him pangs. His heart sinks as he realizes, perhaps truly for the first time since his reawakening, that he is alone. Utterly and completely alone. These "rescuers" that released him, care little for him as a man. I am just another thing encountered here. I do not count. I am not one of them. They seem to take glee in reminding me that everyone I have ever knew is long dead, and mock me, and this place, at every turn. The returning memories, and the familiarity that had just moments ago brought him some measure of comfort, now do the opposite. He sets his mug down and turns his back upon the platters. Yes. Of course. The library.
Are we all using the same (latest) version? v1.4.1.8?
I use maptools but I don't think I have experienced the issue you describe.
Akirra seeing Ansha's look asks, My pardons, but how have I given thee offense?
Akirra lifts a piece of meat and a hunk of cheese from the platter. Furrowing his brow, trying to will his memories into focus he replies, I do remember this level of the complex, and the one above it. We spent most of our time on these two levels. This floor features an armoury, massive training chambers, storage and a library amongst its large rooms. With the barracks and the classrooms above, much of the Order spent most of their time here. We are unlikely to find much resistance or defence here. Access to the levels below, however, will be a different story. They were definitely restricted in my time and strictly guarded. He places a bit of cheese into his mouth. Gesturing at the others he implores, Please join me. You all must be hungry. And thirsty! as he gestures for you to join him.
Akirra's features flash as he struggles to remember the room before softening into that of slow realization. He begins to leisurely stroll across the room, taking in the small details as he passes. I have been here before. He plucks a piece of fruit from the tray and pops it in his mouth, savoring the taste. Unseen Servants and other permanent magic keep the room functioning without any real need for sentient staff. Reaching the bar at the far side of the room he runs his hand across the smooth top before very deliberately ringing a small bell upon it. In response to the clear sound, a tall clean mug appears. Hoisting the tankard up he takes a sip. Addressing the room itself he states simply, We desire a platter of meats and cheeses. As he waits for the expectantly for his request to be acknowledged, he continues, The Order was eventually fully self-sufficient and required no outside supplies or assistance to function. Taking another sip, the fog within his mind continues to lift ever so slowly. This structure was the main Order of Arioch presence on Golarion. He pauses, rubbing the top his head, before adding, Possibly even the only permanent structure of its kind.
Any luck with Paizo helping message PWO?
Can't hurt to ask Alex. I can't see the harm in them sending him a message. You aren't asking for his email addy or anything. He was checking in and bumping the thread every so often. Last two Januaries ('17 and 18') in fact! Maybe he will again! :)
Tebati's question starts Akirra's mind reeling as he tries to fight through the fog that clouds his memories in an attempt to recall whether he remembers this room...
Unfortunately, I can't say that I've had any stroke of genius over the last three years about how to get past this room. I haven't even had a stroke of below-average-intelligence on how to get past this room. :P
That is the biggest post I have ever seen! :O Sorry I haven't been posting. Christmas events oocupying all my time. Will get involved tomorrow hopefully.
I'm here and ready to play.
*awakens from long slumber (again) rubbing eyes*
Hmmmmmm... I think I like this one for Akirra. Loads of good ones in this batch for sure. :) And I am cool with reconfiguring Akirra if needed.
You know I am ready to continue.
As a side note, anyone seen AK on the boards lately? Or did we lose him again? Last activity as far as I can tell is Feb. 4th. :(
Sorry to see you go.
How long do you think they will spin like that? Forever? Perhaps stopping them from spinning is the key to advancing. Looking to Qhude he continues, Maybe you had the right idea, just not the right "tool" for the job. What else can we use to destroy the blades?
Having returned to the chamber above with the others Akirra asks, Anyone have any ideas to try? I'm fresh out.
Hearing Tebati's remark about supplies Akirra's thoughts turn to his trusty ring. I might die down here, but it won't be from starvation. Desperate and determined men have dug through worse with less, but yes, let us hope it does not come to that.
Your Google drive (combat) maps are working. The maps I believe Jakob is referring to are the campaign header maps which were/are hosted on imageshack. I'm not aware of which maps you have on photobucket.
I suspect it is because Alex has switched from imageshack to Google drive for maps. His imageshack account has likely lapsed. I'm sure he will transfer everything to Google drive shortly.
Not finding anything, Akirra frowns. Although his memories are fragmented, he is certain there is more to this complex. Mumbling under his breath he remarks, I remember little of the Order's purpose beyond opposing Angazhan, but this was built around something at the lowest level. We must be able to go lower yet. We are missing something.
Yes, yes, Airra responds while returning to searching the wall. You might he right. I thought for a moment there you were expecting me to have spontaneously remembered it. Pondering things further he adds, We have a few things left unsolved on the floor above. The map, and the chamber where I was discovered, for instance. Perhaps we need to risk trying to recover my memories if we are to leave this level. Although he had slumbered for thousands of years, and was from all intents and purposes dead, as Qhude had pointed out many of times since his awakening, Akirra felt a pang of trepidation at subjecting himself to the machine. Knowing he owed his "new" life to his new comrades, something he intended to repay, he offered, If it is the only way, I will chance the machine.
