Can we finish before the 1 year anniversary of this quest? Stay tuned.

Wears and Synch are busy with travel, so Mines and Leaves are somewhat on auto, so some of the rest of you might have to join nikohl in chiming in on how you want to approach this...

It's crude, but this is a map view of where you've been thus far. Letters correspond to goblins who have been to each area. You all are currently at the dark green area where the trail turns south to Mantagar's clearing (yellow). The large brown area is the tower in the swamp.

I don't know how you guys want to do loot, but I'm just sort of putting on bits and pieces as I go that seem suitable, but am happy to divvy up/trade etc at the end. What I'm equipping may not be what I'm wanting to keep. Rather than "I found this, so its mine!" I'd rather put my name forward for stuff that is more suitable to my playstyle and character. I certainly don't want any staffs or wands or anything like that, and probably not any two-handed weapons.

So if you find anything rogue-y / stealthy / knifey, please consider it for Leaves at the end.

I'm doing the same - All is just picking up and carrying stuff, but isn't really calling "dibs" until it's all identified properly back at HQ.

Oh, my... what could that be?!

I feel like fuckin' E.T.

Well that's good, because you look like him!

I've slept about 47 hours in the last 4 days, and I'm still tired enough that it's hard to breathe. I'll try to catch up and join in next week. Meantime, glad to see loot distribution will be handled sensibly and equitably.

I wonder if that glowing finger has the same healing effect as ET's...

There should be plenty loot for everyone... though some may certainly be more optimized for one character over another. Of course, everyone has to make it back to the GAL first...

I can think of a way to find out... stab Costa and poke him with the glow finger.

You named it, and thus gave it power...

I'm not entirely sure what would happen if the squirrel were to "Gollum" your E.T. finger...

Why the hell are we climbing trees to investigate squirrels?! They are pissed off, we're getting into a fight where we may be outnumbered when we're already a man down!

This is why this quest is taking so fucking long, we keep deviating from the objective!!!

Post by **WearsHats** » Wed Oct 14, 2015 2:30 pm

I didn't realize they were squirrels until Spider said so here in the OOC thread. All I know in character (and all I knew when I posted asking if people wanted to investigate) was that there were angry chittering sounds coming from all around us and something attacked us. Could have been monkeys or just about anything else. Then again, considering the trouble we've had with mosquitoes, maybe it's best to be sure.

Actually, I think I know what this is. I think it's the squirrel who almost killed you before, when you decided to attack it because you were bored and wanted to loot his stash. Only now he's got all his friends and relatives to back him up. Not a threat to take lightly, given how much of a fight it put up when it was alone. But, if that's true, our best play is probably to keep walking...

Dude, chill the fuck out. This is a game, we are playing it. If you want to go back to HQ, do.

Post by **Theis2** » Thu Oct 15, 2015 3:02 am

I would say we are playing it right since it's an rpg (never go for the main mission unless there's nothing else to do!)

But could we calm down a bit and turn down the swearing a bit? It makes it seem a lot more hostile than I hope it is.

Yeah fair enough, apologies. But its been going over a year and we're apparently not even halfway. I'm just finding either the inactivity or crazy distractions a bit tedious is all. I know both you and Wears have been unwell/tired, but god knows where Asks goes and Nerre often loses track of what everyone else is doing and goes off on his/her own mission. It can be frustrating at times, and I often feel like I'm the only one trying to maintain momentum sometimes.

Bah, grumpy Synch is going to bed

Heading out of town to visit family tomorrow, but if I have actions for everyone, I WILL post an update.

Synch · Post by **Synch** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 5:41 am

Ok, completely out of ideas with the stupid glowing finger! Any suggestions?

Post by **nikohl** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 5:42 am

Put the ring back on it, imo.

Pick your nose.

I think you can only take hitpoints from living targets or store your own. (like -1 the turn you use it, but you quickly recover to normal hp, while the hp you took are still stored).
I am not sure if it has a safety mode not causing harm to allys, or if it only was Remedy's necklace which saved her from loosing 1 hp.
Let's try it out under better circumstances.

I too haven't fully found out what my item does, and I haved tried a long time.
Sure about the "reduces damage taken by 1" part, but not about the rest.
It is either something like "+1 hp during every turn while in battle" or "+1 hp every 2nd turn while in battle".
Or increased regeneration while below X hp.

I know exactly what your item does. But I'm not telling, because I only know OOC and I'm not a proper Identifier... The guy back at HQ will identify it for you.

Dammit, how do you know? Did you guess and Spider confirmed? Did he tell you?! Is it obvious and I'm just dumb?!! Why does the finger glow?!!!

Ah, I just read it now. Not some phylactery. I'm so dumb
