Noir...thinks...eating dads magic...had to be a last resort...she dident remember how dad fed her exactly or if the magic he was sending her was consumable for enrgy..he could have been feeding her a seperate enegy for all she knew..and she moved to grab the watch breathing deep.
Grab watch open container.
I confess, I had a hard time deciphering "Grab Watch Open Container." in fact, I have enough qustons abot this s-sentence? that I can't act on it. You what?

I glance around my more immediate area. my senses have widened greatly, but have they sharpened? Am I more aware of my immediate surroundings, or less?
On a similar subject, my speed has gone way up, but has my manuverability and reaction speed improved to match? Do I need to be very careful about cramped areas or can I flit about without issue?
I seem to have a sense of nearby planetiods and their contents. What does that sense tell me about the one I'm on now? Do I know which one Omega is on, if any?

In fact, while I'm focused on my senses anyway, what about my teammates? my star sprite? Do I have a sense for the bond a star sprite uses to find its partner?
You look around at your immediate surroundings. it's roughly spherical, with debris falling toward the equatorial plane and forming a ring, before drifting slowly away into the air. the surface is marred in several places, notably near whee you currently are. It's very metallic in nature - mechanical. But it has the feel of lifelessness overall.

Everyone needs to be careful maneuvering in cramped areas. Care to select an area and attempt to maneuver in it? Yu do not sense Omega Legio in any of the local spheres. How wold you know though?

You sense "Your" Star Sprite, and you feel the bond - suddenly, you feel the bond quite strongly. There she is. She seems almost bored. she is calmly, patiently moving slowly back and forth, waiting, encouraging. such a short distance to lead such slow creatures. But she's used to long travel. Just not long travel over such short distances!

"...Halfdragon, Dar'yajira thinks it may sense distant food, or perhaps poison.  Cat cannot tell from this distance.  Can Halfdragon travel?"

If Noir is able to walk, and is willing, Dar will leaf her to the lichen.  If she's immobile, he'll stay with her and keep watch for danger, and perhaps try to search for closer or more reliable food sources.
Well, I had the other group move along four hours last turn, so this turn the two of you get about halfway to the lichen field. She's able ot go no faster than half speed, and even that is exhausting.

Hmm, she hasn't drunk anything in quite a while, so dehydration is starting to become an issue. If I recall right, she hadn't drunk anything on the cart when she was orbiting, and hadn't time after. so she's got maybe a day before dehydration becomes a significant problem, and two before she dies of it.

Buff Ebony's constitution while she rests to help her recover.

follow the sprite again when she is recovered enough.

You give Ebony a sort of magical-pick-me-up. It will get her moving this round, but she needs food and drink (and sleep) more than anything else. Come to that, You could sleep too. eh, I'm just going to have you two sleep for four hours, then move along. If Ebony eat next turn she should be able to move at a reasonable pace again. And that will put you guys at six days rations.

Yeah, let's just... rest for a bit.
You and Cho find a quiet corner and make camp. You sleep four hours and feel stronger. You feel quite hungry as you get ready to move on.

(( wrist band with a small container sewn into it. I'm grabbing said wristband and opening said container...I wrote it as watch for some reason....also noir at least tried to eat that bread ration so she's at least ate something..
its most likely in one of her hands also what happened with the water in that action did I roll badly? And just not find water as well?))

More immediate than that. Player to GM for a moment, I get the perspective, please dont make me lawyer the question. Am I aware of my immediate surroundings? If a local predator was sneaking up on the cart right now, would I be able to notice it? You know what I'm trying to ask here.

I test how closely I can circle the cart, if I can fly between the spokes of its wheels safely. etc. I do not leave the scar the cart is in.

I don't know what senses I'm using to know what I do about my surroundings, so I can't specify what sensory data is appropriate to search for something. Do I know where all my teammates are? Do I know where our objective is? I seem to have senses beyond line of sight so...
actually, do I sense any of those giant flying tentacled creatures? if yes, since it is in close proxemity according to my current state, can I begin acquiring it from here?


Since my partner Star Sprite is so close, and I seem aware of her, and she probably aware of me, can I, from here, strike up a conversation and ask for basic pointers? things to look out for, how to find Omega, hazards, resources, tips and tricks, etc. Basic things to her, but vital to me.

((Retroactive reply because I didn't see it before: ))
"It is unsure.  Far closer, however, and group is starvation distance away."

Dar will try and use his druidic senses to find water, then.  He'll keep leading Noir to the Lichen, but redirect if water is actually found.

Though it would be kinda unfair to not let Noir deal with the thinger first, since she's already had hours to do so.

Summon more bugs for me to eat, let Ebony eat from the ration packs.

Store as many leftover bugs as i can in the pouch on my belt, then continue following the star sprite.

I'll give this one to you, but do try to post bolded actions, even when discusssing previous actions.

Anyway, a Star Sprite appears and flits up to your face. it's bright expression turns dark almost instantly. "You're not Jack. Oh. it's Yoooouuuu~~~ The 'you' is said with all the contempt a Sprite sized package can contain. And then teh Sprite hovers just out of arm;s reach, looking just off to the side of you, arms crossed.

GM to Player: yes, I know you get the scale. I needed to show that Aylia is currently struggling with the concept of "Immediate Surroundings" and needed to pay particular attention to them directly, which you are doing. Plus, I needed you top be specific in what you wanted to check, so I could give you the best answer possible. In other words - Star Sprite Thinking is somewhat alien, and Aylia hasn't quite settled into it properly.

If a local predator were to show up, you could notice it just fine, and could probably avoid it with little issue. Flying around the cart, you can make a circle of about fifty feet across. You can get closer doing fly-bys, and in general you can land on the cart abut one in three tries.

You don't know where your teammates are, though you feel a second Star Sprite go active, round the bottom of the planetoid.
The insides of planetoids tend to be more complex or hidden than Star Sprites generally sense, but as for the objective, I'll roll for that, since it is within possibility, but, because you didn't get the Star Sprite form perfectly, you'll be at a disadvantage here (seriously, your transform rolls tend to be rather low. Your saving grace there is that you take your time to acquire the forms, so you have a base success on which to build.) Hmm. hey look at that! You do know where the objective is. You can hear it, like a heartbeat. You can feel it's warmth, like the warmth of a homeside hearth. It's energy radiates throughout the planetoid, leaking out in various places and failing to reach the surface in most places. The Heart is strong, but the Host is broken. It's pretty much where you'd expect it to be, too - near dead center.

You could begin acquiring the tentacle monster from here, but in this form it would be difficult to hold the concept in mind long enough to get a good read. You could, at this point, fly right up to one, transform, sit on it's surface, and acquire from there.

You can strike up a conversation with your partner Sprite. You could fly directly to her, for that matter.

hmm. Dar senses nothing, until a light fog approaches, coating the area with a fine dew. In most places on the surface, this dew would be blown away almost immediately by the wind, but down here at the pole, it lingers a bit. Dar senses that this will not last. as for redirecting - that's unnecessary, as the mist occurs just as Dar encounters the first of the lichen -red, spiky things looking like they are stabbing directly into any metal surface - or stabbing directly out of them. As for Noir, let's just say she's been struggling to stay awake, move along, keep up hope, and think all at the same time. it took her a while to remember the bracelet and open it.

Summon more bugs for me to eat, let Ebony eat from the ration packs.

Store as many leftover bugs as i can in the pouch on my belt, then continue following the star sprite.

You summon some small,grey, round beetles. their shells are hard, and they have little in the way of edible material. You aren't sure if the edible parts are not poisonous.

Yu and Ebony follwo the Star Sprite as she flits up a long series of stairs. After about twenty flights, your legs are burning, and Ebony is wheezing.

Noir states at the sprite and then trys...hard not to tear up as she breathes holding her jaw so she can speak comprehensibly as she looks at the sprite ger voice coming out like a sob.
".....p-please...h-halp...halp us..we need to get o-outta here...b-badly...i-I were g-gonna die.. p-please....h-help me...help u-us..I-Ive lost...I-I don't want any-anyone else to die! PLEASE HELP US PLEASE! WE NEED YOU!"
Noir...noir was sobbing very clearly as they try to hold it back they dident want to lose anymore...anymore water.
BEG BEG the sprite to help us say the above.

Dar'yajira will focus on examining the lichen more closely, figuring out whether or not it's toxic.  He'll also try to keep an eye on Noir and the star sprite, but he does trust her not to be quickly killed by a creature even smaller than him.

He'll also stay close enough to her that it's obvious he's with her.  It would be a pain for her to be teleported out but leave him here.

Wait, what? Near the bottom of the thing? I ask my partner sprite to continue leading the slowpokes to the cart, and then go to where the other sprite went active to check out why theyre over there.

Oz, you might have input on this, since Aylia knows the mechanics and abilities involved better than Lenglon does.
