...That was terrifying. And delicious, and well written. But terrifying.

► Show Spoiler

I do wonder how MM did GS' wooden parts, though. Tenon saws? Spokeshaves? More Dragon Lung? Actually...I don't want to know.

But how'd MM stop GS from using his super wood powers? He says that he was burned, so I'm assuming he still has them - he should be able to reshape his bound hand around and out of the rope.

[Orga the Strange]

Damn you, Thunt! Should have known he'd do this, just to mess with us.
It was, however, an enjoyable story. I don't think we've seen Solemax before though, shame he couldn't include a picture.

[Chasm]

That was...wow.
Very well written, but it really leaves me with an uneasy feeling. I guess it took my mind away from Kin's splishing though.

LA LA LA >.< LA LA LA...

Agreed. Oh well. Maybe on Friday.... we'll jump back to the GAP.

[firefly]

This was a great read!

But... but...

What happens when he uses the teapot? I want to know

Doubtless this will only add to the tragedy if the Maze gets swallowed by oblivion.

[SamWiser]

I think I'm going to have nightmares tonight.

[T-RexWithTourettes]

If Thunt goes back to the GAP at a time like this...
Anyways.
THIS.
THIS ALTSPLANATIONS.
Holy crap. I mean, what happened to Forgath? Is Minmax planning to go see Kin or Forgath (I assume Forgath, he probably didn't like/love Kin yet at that point, but can't hurt to ask)? The freaking second board plot twist...and why were they in the Swamp of Silence? And JESUS what kind of picture could possibly depict such a solemn, 9001% badass Minmax? I'm almost happy that it didn't have a picture, our brains might have not been able to take the awesomeness. Although I wish he'd at least described him ("broadsword" hardly narrows it down) so we could know who to look for...besides a lone Minmax, but there could always be some whose partners have died in the dungeon. Ahhhh. Curiosity.

[Earthen]

Maybe if our Kin dies, our Minmax will have the same idea of teleporting to a dead person by using the jade teapot-- if he can get his hands on the thing.

[Krulle]

I have to line up to say thanks for this Altsplanation.

Minmax #98 "saw" his Kin quite a bit faster than "our" Minmax saw "ours".
A great motivation described.
And I have to say, this is some really badass Minmax, if he's able to love Kin and Forgath, and able to go through all this for them. To look at all what happened and make drawings of it.
And doing it to the guy who originally did it to his friends.
Although he was much faster than Dellyn Goblinslayer #98 was on his runs... He did all what was done to Kin (about three dozen charcoal drawings) within two hours. That is slightly more than 3 minutes per drawing....
Time is a factor in torture too. So he was rather kind to GS#98 (except for not using Healing Potions in-between, gotta keep your toys looking good).
But I can imagine the mindbreak when you are sure it is over, and then a new announcement board pops up.

Well done, Minmax #98. But I do hope you have your humanity left in you.

Also, very well done, Mr. THunt!
Thank you.

I don't think he is going to either Forgath or Kin. It seemed to me that he was going back to Goblinslayer so he could finish the torture. There was almost a whole board left.

[Sendranis]

I'd like to see Minmax roll a 20 on diplomacy and convince the surviving alternate realities to work together to stop Psimax. Especially if he can convince them that Psimax is making those oblivion holes. Mutual survival is a strong motivator. I know if i was Minmax 98 and knew that there was a version of me that still had a kin to love I'd sacrifice my life to see them together.

Oof. This is even harder than whetever my mind made out of THunt's text....
Your Minmax just lost humanity, Sam....

That's okay, he's Path of Blood. (Wrong game.)

I don't want to meet this Minmax.

[Alarikun]

Hrm... well... interesting. Also horrifying.

Interesting-side though... since we're getting an "Altsplanation" today... that means we're getting a scene in the Tower Room on friday. Those always take longer, so said Thunt.

Not necessarily - it might just be a complicated effect, like lots of SPLISHs at once.

[spiderwrangler]

Minmax #98 "saw" his Kin quite a bit faster than "our" Minmax saw "ours".

Nah, doubt that was the case. Just the same gut reaction he had when he threw GS out the window compounded by SEEING all of them acted out in the crystal ball.

And somehow, I'm going to go with a Tower Room Scene, since more "splishes" is just horrible. Besides, it would make sense that we move to Minmax, and him trying to get to Kin.

[Baeronvonbleat]

Anyone else think Reality 98 successfully finished the maze?

That's why he "Found" GS, or what's left of him. The second Minmax was actually the original Minmax, while the first was the one that used the teapot? But if that was the case... then that Minmax would have won the maze... >.<

Or... he has short term memory loss?

*edit* Oh... the first pictures were a set for Kin, and the second picture a set for Forgath. Aw...

That makes sense now.

Bottom right, lone MM.

I vote for MinMax using his awesome charisma to convince the all the others that PsiMax is going to obliviate everyone, so they all form a truce to head back to the tunnel of zombies and reopen the hole, then 20 or so of them manage to fight PsiMax at once. That's pretty much the only way I can see MM getting back to our kin, short of WizMax having some sort of epic blinking spell that he traded his ability to write his name in the snow for.

He didn't finish the maze... He's IN the maze to get the Jade Teapot, so he can teleport to Kin/Forgath in the Afterlife.

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
