All rightey. Thanks for introducing us to the world, TPK! I'll definitely keep an eye out for future Xcrawl games.

Arthur claps. Woo hoo! Yeah Breakers! He then looks around at the goblins and his teammates. Umm... so then... we just go on now?
Arthur can't help but laughing as his teammates seem to have lightning reflexes to start this dance fight as fast as possible but can't really keep their dancing together all that well. Completely out of sync, they look like a bunch of weirdos. Well hey! It's probably confusing those gobbos! he thinks to himself.
Arthur stares around at his friends, somewhat confused as to how he'll contribute to this particular effort.
He flops around clumsily in his armor, completely unsure what he should be doing. He has the sense of rhythm of most middle-aged dads.
Arthur nods in agreement. Do it buddy! Here's one for the road!
Arthur motions to his companions and in a hushed whisper says Guys! There's a band of goblins through the doors. Probably those cudgel dancers. Looks like we'll have to deal with them. Break through the door on the count of three?
Hopefully it's nothing. Channeling some positive energy your way!
Well then, let's get through this and fight the turtle to get that treasure! Maybe there's a way around on the other side of the door?
Arthur takes a look where he's stepping to see if there are traps. If he doesn't see any on the floor or door, he moves over to the door and opens it.
I'm ok with the switch if the two primary parties are. I'm very sorry to hear about the health issues. Thanks for introducing us to the system and we'd love to have you on board!
Way to go, Virgil! Nice moves, Ranveer! Arthur is totally enthused about the heroics of his teammates. When they encounter the turtle, Arthur cheers. Oh yeah! This is what crawl is all about! Bring it on, baby! He stands in the middle of his teammates as they move to engage the turtle.
Also, it might be fair to say a DIII crawl is unlikely to have save or die traps. Take a hit, sure, but that's what I hope to fix.
yeah it does seem we are being very cautious and moving slowly.
Arthur watches tensely as Virgil cuts the first wire, holding his breath.
Arthur keeps the guidance up on Virgil. You've got it, buddy! Keep on leading us through this thing!
Arthur chuckles. Go for it Virgil. I'll keep giving you guidance for each one. The animal would have been fine. They go back to their home plane if they're destroyed.
Gotcha. No problem.
Arthur definitely points out the trip wires that he sees. Don't touch those, guys. Anybody know anything about architecture or traps? I bet avoiding the triplines is a good start but I'd love to know a little more here before we waltz through. I could summon a dog or pony and have it walk through there to see what happens. Anyone good with animals to help show it to step over the wires?
Awesome! Can't wait. Regarding the map, I still just see the boat room. We don't have a view of the next room yet, right? Just want to make sure I'm not missing it.
Arthur looks at the dangerous hallway, trying to tell how likely it is to collapse on them and what might make it do so.
Any ideas how to proceed here, guys?
I'm sure that whatever you throw at us will be a blast!
Ooh sorry to hear that! Sounds like a pain!
Arthur agrees Let's get out of this room! Here you go, Virgil.
Arthur encourages his teammates as they calm down. Let's go, guys! Let's get across this room and into the next one! Help me row! Arthur pushes the oars the best he can.
Arthur rows furiously. If he had prepared "protection from scruffy", the party may be better off today.
[b]Stay calm, stay calm now. Just a few moments longer.[/ooc] Arthur rows as hard as he can to get the team across the room.
Arthur tries to calm down his teammates before the panic spreads too far. I'm pretty sure it's just an illusion, guys. Keep calm. Let's just get across this room. The middle-aged cleric keeps rowing calmly across the room.
Haha. That's a good one.
I rolled an 18 on the will save you called for and assumed that would be enough but perhaps not. I'm guessing what's going on with the boat is an illusion that we can will save to resist so Arthur's calming down. Either way, succeeding on a will save is probably calming compared to the alternative.
Gotcha. Arthur assumed that an 18 was sufficient in gameplay. He'll certainly look funny if it isn't. XD
Arthur starts to panic when the boats begins to dissolve
but then he manages to calm down.
Arthur nods to Glade. Happy to help! He then gets in the boat, ready to help cross the watery room.
Arthur gladly provides Virgil with guidance. Then he lifts his holy symbol of Vesta and says It looks like we could use this, guys.
Are we ready to row this boat across the room now? Arthur checks for any more traps or other dangers.
Arthur exclaims in surprise when he gets hit by the darts then yet another flight of them shoots toward himself and his companions. Uh... guys... we should probably settle down here. Ranveer, are you ok? Can you swim back toward the boat? Virgil, how do we use the boat without setting the trap off again?
Arthur shrugs at his companion, Virgil. I think we're supposed to cross this room and get through the next room until we finish the dungeon, get the loot, and rescue the princess or princesses! He can't help getting more and more enthused as he speaks. Do you think there's something more to this room?
Holy carp! Arthur exclaims as he gets hit by a trap. He tries to shake off its effects.
I can see the grid.
Nodding in thanks, Arthur gets in the boat and helps his teammates in. Once everyone is ready, he helps the boat push off across the room. Suspicious that they may need the help, Arthur casts bless on his comrades once they start crossing the lake. He keeps a careful eye on the water all around the boat as he helps row.
Arthur tugs the door open carefully as he and glade peer through.
Looks good to me! Let's get in the boat and row across. But I bet something is going to attack us from the water so stay ready! Arthur starts getting in the boat, assuming his comrades are following.
Awesome! Unexpected challenge right off the bat!
Arthur readies himself to fly through the door behind Virgil and Ranveer. Right before the clock hits 12, he lays an encouraging hand on Virgil's shoulder. Go get 'em!
Arthur nods at the man who just checked them over. We ready to roll?
Arthur chuckles at Glade's comment. I'm sure we'll leave some of it standing. You're right. The monsters are the priority. And, of course, the princess!
Going to be interesting to see how cuddgely this DJ is feeling lol. Also, just noticed "done" instead of "down" in my most recent post. I sigh at the lack of editing older posts...
Arthur looks around at his teammates with newfound affection. Nothing like seeing someone's shortcomings and how they face them to bring people together. A common enemy sure doesn't hurt either. He grins at his teammates. Let's smash this dungeon. No holding back. You all done for that?
Arthur's face reddens somewhat as some of his former failings in xcrawl are shown on the big screen. But the middle-aged messenger sets his jaw and turns to his teammates. C'mon, Breakers! We've all had our fumbles, just like every other crawler out there! They don't mean anything. They're just trying to make us look bad because they're afraid of what we can Break. Let's show them. He grins broadly and gets ready to head through the door.
Ranveer, introducing like a boss!!!
Arthur nods and grins in agreement, laying an encouraging hand on Ranveer's shoulder.
You're the face of this team, tiger! People will see what's special about us right away. Go get 'em!
