Ah, ok. The intention was good but you really need to have a very strong single sentence if that's all its going to rest on.

I assumed that one of the other players was killing them and I just was not seeing it. (like I couldn't find the post on it for some reason)

When you left hints with how the carcasses were destroyed I had the impression that was from some kind of battle in the past. Or just the remnants of years of travelers coming in and out and the occasional one picking a fight with these things. I didnt ever suspect the battle was happening now but I did suspect something was scavenging them when you were saying they were disappearing.

Most likely that they were being turned back on by their friends. Or taken to a place where they could be.

[Egan_BW]

If something is actively scavenging them, they can't be all that old.

[RoseHeart]

I kind of figured that when we weren't there the spiders were just kind of sitting around doing nothing hibernating. But we woke em up and then they started kicking into repair mode. I understand now that this was not the actual narrative.


I also thought that we had a fairly good grip on our surroundings and that we would have seen or heard or been more aware of any kind of action taking place like that. A hidden battle seemed to be the derivative conclusion.

The intention was to have you think "Oh, something's killing them. Better investigate," not to hand you the information straight up.

[Caellath]

Yep, I understood that much now. I might've been sloppy in my assumptions.

[AzyWng]

I'm back... Where is my character again in relation to the rest of the party?

Standing by, presumably next to Millenus and Wilbur.

Welcome back!

(see bolded text)


I want to part ways with the others for now. Do I have a internal or external way of setting up communication with the others? Perhaps some kind of communications terminal at my store? Or within myself connected to the mechanical beings. Be good if my store has some kind of intercom or some kind of thing. Not that I expect much from it being a locker room.

[_DivideByZero_]

Since pretty much every game these days has an easy way of communicating between players these days, I'm going to try to be different and say no, there's no easy spell that will let you just open up a communication channel. There's no cell phone towers, and even if there were, the walls are no good for reception. If another of you were a Magician, that would be a different story... but for now you'll have to wire something up, or maybe use carrier pigeon analogues. Raioyris has a bird, maybe you could... negotiate something.

Alternatively you might encounter a Magician sometime soon, so you could try using him to communicate with Raioyris and relay messages from there.

[RoseHeart]

So are we going to role play that we don't know what is going on? The alternatives are:
• forcing the group to stick together
• taking PM actions
• forbidding viewing spoiler actions(like I did here)

I suppose I'll just automatically put my actions in the spoiler while I'm away from the group.

[_DivideByZero_]

We'll do spoilers.

[Egan_BW]

I don't see need for spoilers, except possibly in the case of Sudden Yet Inevitable Betrayal.

[_DivideByZero_]

Yeah, well, if you feel like just posting your actions openly, go ahead. I won't enforce it. But if you want to betray people, go ahead and request spoilers/PMs.

[Egan_BW]

And I'd go ahead and break out the PMs for betrayal. Not that Gun is in any state to betray, like, anyone.

[Caellath]

AzyWng, I think Johan is either alone back close to where he was uncocooned or beyond the gate in case he's followed us. In the former case, you could follow the noise and find us, but in the latter, you should read up because we're in combat.
