Posts from ? Ikazkan -> Tezot

—Then we’ll ask in the city. Hopefully, it won’t spoil by then.

Go into stealth mode and continue

- It's a mess, isn't it? - Chernika asks during a break, admiring the play of light on the gold in her hands. - Yes, - Ukon shrugs, glancing at the next landslide behind them, then at the bag of supplies. - Imagine. Out of all the possible options for a journey, you naturally chose the worst one - the only one where you have absolutely no chance. How did you even survive this long in this environment? You could have at least gotten a pickaxe. What are you lacking - luck or common sense? The cavern falls into a long silence. - Both. But mostly - loyalty. To something that never belonged to me. It can give you a boost in the worst of situations, but when even that is gone... - Ukon finally says. - Try to live by the rules, try to be decent, but sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it just doesn't work. For some, you're not quite human, for others, not quite a sorcerer - and that's all there is to it. Even when you don't dwell on it yourself, it gets worse, and you get hit from behind completely unexpectedly. He takes out a file and works on the horns that are starting to grow again. - The only question is - why are you here? - Indeed. Why? - Chernika's voice expresses maximum disinterest and indifference, although, for someone who is at least 15+, one could discern other nuances in it. - I've never had such a useless servant. - You could say the same about others... - Ukon's grumbling is barely audible against the unpleasant screech of the file. - I think you're not who you pretend to be. Something happened along the way, and you were replaced by some simpleton. Otherwise, I can't understand why you've become so calm. - Replaced? - The gold goes back into the bag, her hands go behind her head, and her gaze through her glasses bores into the cave ceiling. - If you listen to you, I'm some kind of storm, incapable of any analysis or change, although in reality, of the two of us, the stubborn worm is you. Maybe I saw the real life of a lackey from the inside and understood a little better what drives you, and what the mistress should do to make her servant function at its maximum potential. Would that explanation satisfy you? The cavern falls silent again. - Let's go, - Ukon gets up, finally finishing with his "manicure". - Let's see this spectacle to the end. - > to top

- Hold it. - Before Jingo and Shook entered the cave where many mushrooms grew, a Fury stopped them. - The aroma of these mushrooms will make anyone fall asleep, except for the most resolute and lucky travelers. - An Endurance check was made against a random number in the range of 1 to 20. - Perhaps this is how they obtain nutrients, but there is also good news - it is a long process, and if at least one of them remains conscious, it is quite possible to proceed further.
From there, you could go either straight ahead, down, or up.

90% The passage behind collapses. A character with the Mining skill and 1 action point is needed to clear the debris. ❌

And again – only stone walls around, nothing useful, interesting, or even particularly dangerous. There were probably no intelligent beings living in these lands, and the only way to continue was to the right.

Osh shrugged.

- We can do without it. But then Ikazkan will turn into what is around it. I don't want that. This so-called fire of civilization will definitely not leave us in peace.   

Dubo thought about his answer for so long that one might think the GM had forgotten to respond to this post.
- Well... Maybe it makes sense. What needs to be done to officially join?
- You need to kiss the boot.
- Huh? Whose?
- Óny's, of course. - Rog laughs, this time addressing Osh. - No offense, leader, but if you had to kiss yours, there probably wouldn't be any volunteers.

So, we continue moving to the right... going back will give us a 99% chance of a collapse

From here on, it's only downwards.

- Only downwards! - one of them announces, but it's unclear who exactly.

Revan, you didn't forget to reply. You forgot that you already replied, lol.

“So, if one of them doesn’t fall asleep, will they be able to pull the other one out of the cave further?” Ne Djingo clarified. “What about casting a Light Shield or using Ambrosia?”

I don’t understand; if we’re on C5, there should be a path upwards to B5… or did we go down a tunnel?

Katarina obtains 2 crystals.

"Ah... one more would have been enough..."

Jingo examines the location through a monocle, hoping to find at least one unclaimed crystal...

Revan, you didn't forget to reply. You forgot that you already replied, huh?

So, he replied, thought for a long time, and then replied again...

Down below, there is another place to mine iron ore. It's a pity that it can't be eaten... There was also a road to the right.

- So, if one doesn't fall asleep, can he pull the second one out of the cave further? - Not Dzingo clarified. - What about casting a light shield or using ambrosia?

- Yes. - It's your own fault that your names start with the same letter, or maybe everyone in the underground universe has the same face name. - The shield should help, but ambrosia won't - you need to be conscious to use it, and the spell can be cast preventively.

I don't understand, if we are on C5, then there should be a path up to B5... or did we go down the tunnel?

Yes, you can also go up in B5. I forgot to mention it.

"Oh... one is missing..."

Dzingo examines the location through a monocle, hoping to find at least one unclaimed crystal...

And he finds it.

Maybe this is a clever plan to steal the amulet from Djingo...

—Then let's put up a shield and go straight through. No matter what, we'll probably have to go back through these mushrooms one more time. Thanks for the warning, by the way! Now my trust in you has grown just a little bit.

Which is better – a ring or a hammer?

Too bad... all that's left is to move to the right.
