Gonna give this one more nudge and PM the GM before giving up!

Nudge nudge!
Hope everyone's staying safe! I've since:
Same here! Don't mind waiting; I won't judge anyone for putting life before games right now!
!Kutlwisi will note that he's now only slightly less likely to hit than Thyste!
Anyone else getting the feeling that Thyste's opponents in the arena might have all taken dives?
Thyste, hearing about their poisonous bite, wades in and tries to lance one in the back, keeping her oplon raised.
The timing is almost comical, as Mahz takes so long picking the lock only for the crossbow to give the low pitch of a thick string snapping taut. "Are you all right?" she asks, somewhat concerned.
Thyste, whose role as Party Fight Lady has been going absolutely terribly today, stays respectfully quiet as Mahz drops the pick entirely.
Thyste crouches down beside him, watching in fascination as he works on it. She's always been curious about the more fiddly work... and nothing's more fiddly than a gnome picking a lock.
Thyste raises her spear a bit and chuckles. "Not quite the only doru," she says. She eyes the nest suspiciously. "It looks like it might be empty... but 'gladiator versus swarm of angry wasps' isn't a popular match-up for a lot of reasons. Can you tell if the nest itself is magic, or if there's something magic inside of it?"
”I will need to get myself one of those,” says Thyste, eyeing !Kutlwisi’s cold iron.
Seeing the creature moving, she takes an opportunity to lunge after it with her spear.
Thyste grins. "My bronze is not cold, but it will do!" she says.
She does quite poorly, though.
Thyste steps forward...
She knocks the bottom of her shield on the stone and growls. "I am Thyste, Chosen of the Cyclopes, born of death and twice as hardened as any in the arena! You will fall before me like so many before you. Die afraid! I will kill more like you before I am through."
He points the dagger at the doru
”I would rather not!” barks Thyste, banging her dory on the face of her aspis.
Jubilations! :D
"You will need to teach me that song, Zuzi," chuckles Thyste. "I like the tune!" She thinks as she checks over the room. It's definitely been abandoned for a while now. She starts a bit at the sight of the hornet's nest-- but she breathes a sigh of relief at its lack of motion. She instead gives the room a good looking-over.
Thyste shrugs. ”As good a choice as any,” she figures.
Thyste rolls her shoulder and the shield attached to it as they move in, keeping an eye out for a shovel or a pick or a hoe or something that will help bury the dead. Alternately, shiny valuables and historical artifacts. If they can't solve the immediate problem, after all, may as well do what they came here to do: loot.
Thyste frowns as she considers; "Does anyone bear a shovel?" she asks. The closest she has to one might be her shield or her doru.
I think we wanted to deal with the haunt first, correct? If so, we're waiting on Zhalet's guidance, since she's the one who passed the check.
Thyste agrees. "Better to deal with it now than die on our way out. My leg would appreciate not being speared a second time today."
As the wood spins off the hinge, Zhalet is met by Thyste's grinning face. "Never done that before," she admits. "Always wanted to."
Thyste yells: "Clear the door!" She then promptly tries to kick it down.
Thyste heaves a long, whistling breath as Mahzuzi heals her up. "Never felt better," she says, rolling her shoulders and cricking her neck. She moves to the door and considers a moment.
Thyste groans as she blinks herself awake and pushes herself to sit upright, hissing at the feeling in her gut. ”I fear I have lost more battles in ten minutes than I did in my first life,” she groans, picking up her weapons and using the shield to push herself the rest of the way to her feet.
Thyste mostly lays there unconscious; her bleeding seems... less than it was before. Probably a good thing?
I can move the tokens and see the image! :D Side note: I only saw two of the skeletons on the old map. I think the image on my phone was very zoomed in. Probably should have double-checked before I charged in!
So long as you make the link with "Anyone with the link can edit" we'll be able to move our tokens just fine!
Thyste is having a rough first combat, oof!
I work tech support, I give pointers for dummies every day ;) All right, so, if you don't have a Google account, you'll want to set one up. If you do have a Google account, you have everything you need already! So one way or another, go to https://www.google.com/drive/. Should come up with two boxes: "Personal" and "Business." Click the "Go to Google Drive" button in the "Personal" box. From there, you'll see a navigation bar along the left side of the window and you might even see the Google Drive documents of games you've played in recently in the main body of the window. What we're looking for is the "New" button in the top-left, then the "Google Slides" option in the dropdown menu that appears. This'll start up a new Google Slides. If you've worked with Powerpoint before, it's basically exactly the same system. If not, let me know and I can give you some pointers here as well-- but I recommend experimenting with it to learn what you can do! You should be able to copy and paste your maps into it, as well. Once you've got your Slides ready for us to see it, you'll need to generate a link for us. In the upper right, there should be a yellow Share button. Click that, and a dialog box will pop up. Make sure the dropdown towards the top says "Anyone with the link can edit" (by default, it will be "Anyone with the link can view". Copy the link below and share it as you've been sharing your current links, et voila!
Thyste grits her teeth as the skeletons manage to sink a few attacks into her. Too reckless. Should have made them come to me, she thinks.
I can't see the current map at all :'D uh-oh I'm happy to give some pointers on Google Slides, if you'd like!
Thyste laughs at the sight of the skeletons. "I have slain twice as many single-handedly!" she boasts, hiking up her shield as she strides forward and swings the edge at the closest one.
Thyste comes back breathing hard through her nose like an ox. ”Inside, then?” she asks, choosing not to comment on her moment of fear.
Thyste turns tail and flees. Seeing that Mahz has little legs, she scoops him up in her shield as she goes!
Thyste is busy squinting and leaning in to one of the hieroglyphs. "The detail work on these is amazing..."
”Bougie,” corrects Thyste. ”Like rich people are bougie. Fops, especially, are bougie. Kind of a... showing-off-one’s-wealth thing.”
Thyste walks with her aspis covering much of her body, as usual, and as they approach their destination, she pulls her doru out. ”I have seen larger houses... but they were for cyclops,” she states. ”Although they are often fairly bougie as well.”
