So, regarding my original question, should we go for the retcon?
Good news, he's been voted out!
So, I'd really like to get this game moving again. Would we rather retcon that Neilina gave the crystal rose to Lalazrue?
That apology was directed towards Rysky. You didn't do anything wrong.
I'm sorry. :( You've been doing a really good job so far, and I'll admit: I didn't realize I was supposed to exchange the crystal flower with Lalazrue. I was afraid to make things worse, I over-scrutinized everything and ended up psyching myself out. I'd really like to explore beneath this greenhouse, but I understand the creative wall you've hit--especially regarding PCs and plot hooks.
"Y'suppose this passage was created by fey? Or, at least, their servants?" Neilina pokes the wall as the trio moves.
By the way, I've recently started an interest check for a Dark Ages Vampire game. If you're interested, you can find the thread here.
Yeah, that's unfortunate to hear.
Any news?
I know that feeling all too well.
Is everything alright, update-wise?
"It sounds pretty interesting. Most folk back home stick to either one or the other."
"Really? Huh." Neilina scratches her head. "The only time I've seen anyone perform that sort of magic was Elder Aoife. 'Course, she wasn't the sort to pick up a sword and start slittin' throats, as it were--she was a little too old for that."
Anyway... if you're looking for ideas on how to move things forward, didn't the others meet Xeros down here? Maybe we could meet someone else from his old wing? Or perhaps there's some strange glyphs or some such that are remnants of the magic employed in this place--perhaps those that served as wards for the prison?
But... yeah, I'm hoping to speak with them again. To clear things up and all that.
I suspect that if I were honest, I could've gotten to know them a little better. ;)
Yeah. Kinda makes me wish I specced into Diplomacy instead of Bluff... But considering about half of the party is already Diplomacy-focused already, I felt I needed to fill that social niche.
Reading over the posts leading up to the crystal flower, I somehow missed that the Blight (thanks to my knowledge check) didn't really display the personality traits or physical traits of a Blight. I kinda wish I had been honest with them...
I'm fine with how things are going. I just kinda wish I handled the Blight a little better...
"So, um... where'd you learn how to do magic?" Neilina turns and asks Yelenn as they move.
I'm curious--would my Seeker of the Spurned trait let me see and identify Yelenn's magic without needing a detect magic spell active?
You'll be happy to know I've finished my exams and am ready to move on!
"I wonder how all this light is made. If I had time, I'd love to examine those crystals in greater detail." Neilina looks down the tunnel, towards the light. "Shall we?"
Neilina carefully follows suit.
"Yes, let's!"
"Wow!" Neilina looks on in awe as a glimmering handrail forms from the light leaking from the crystal.
"Hmm. And ya reckon we'll find someone else nearby, then?"
"They certainly appear to be so." Neilina starts before turning back to Yasmin. "You've seen these before?"
"...these crystals look rather odd." Neilina creeps a bit closer to look at them. "They don't look like any natural forming mineral or gem I've ever heard of--more like glass. See how you can see through them right through the middle?"
Neilina lets out a little gasp of wonder. "Oh my!"
What Knowledge check would it be to determine what crystals make up this cluster?
"Oh?" Neilina tilts her head at Yelenn, her eyes staring through her. "Y'think one of the Fey are responsible for that? They love making mazes and loops out of nature's paths."
Are we waiting on someone?
"...so, um... see anything?"
"...wait. Shouldn't this lead us right to the cliffside?"
"Oh." Neilina tilts her head at Yelenn. "...but I could see it just fine. Saw that kind of magic a lot back home--just figured it was the only magic that could do that." She then looks back down the trapdoor hole. "...ooh, that looks like a bad drop." "Caomhnóir? Think ya can make that?" She looks at her wolf. The wolf whines and backs away. The druid sighs and gives her companion a pat on the head. "I guess this means we'll be separated for a bit." Caomhnóir whines again and starts tugging on Neilina's sleeve. "No, I've gotta go down there. Don't ya worry none--I've got a couple of people ta keep me safe." "But... I've got an idea." Neilina crouches in front of Caomhnóir. "You can stay here. If anything strange starts happening, you run back up to the house and start making a racket. Get Xeros' attention, at least. Okay, boy?" She scratches her wolf under his chin.
The wolf lets out a whimper, but nods once. "Good boy." Neilina gives her wolf a hug before turning to the others. "Shall we?"
Neilina takes a few steps into the flowers, the plants gently parting for her. "Alright, now please be very careful when going through these." "Also, nice purple magic." She looks over at Yelenn. "Ya didn't tell me you followed the traditions of the Coldwind."
Would my Woodland Stride class feature allow me to walk through the foliage without harming any of the flowers?
Neilina takes a couple of tentative steps forward, moving into the foliage. While she moves, she looks at the flowers and tries to remember anything important about them.
Neilina looks upon the beautiful flowers, feeling a pang of guilt and stepping forward. Caomhnóir follows suit, curiously sniffing at the air. "Excuse me? Mr. Foliage? Would you be so kind as to let us by? Still lookin' for the right girl to give this crystal flower to."
Thanks. :) Does this mean we're just waiting on our GM now?
