Go grab those irregular stone slabs, grab a chair and pull it up if I can't reach. Anything interesting to be gleaned from them?

Oh, and if things are getting blown up, get out of the room or at least find some cover.

"Where to guys?"

"Through that doorway over there I suppose, though how we'll get through there remains to be se-"

Alex smiled as he looked at the doorway across the room. "Take cover, I'll create us a door." He said as he took out his TNT.

"BROTHER ALEX! Please, give us a moment to see if we can just open the door before you blow it up! "

Spoiler: Adam Blavatsky Darvaza (click to show/hide)

Name: Adam Blavatsky Darvaza

Description: A young man of slightly pale complexion and eternal 9 o’clock shadow, he was raised in a small village. While the village priest and passing mystics droned with endless sermons of the Church and their teachings, what had always captivated young Adam’s attention more were the stories of his Granny.

Old stories of the world as it once was, before people were forced to flee to the caves and crannies of this damp hell. Of warm days where pleasant green plants tickled your feet as you walked through them and a cool breeze blew through your hair. Where food was plentiful, nature was benign and endless vistas reached as far as they eye could see.

Adam was nominally a card-carrying member of the church, though he mostly did it for the connections and perks that brought. They were powerful and had ancient lore, all things he would need to fulfill his true heart’s desire: to return to the surface, vanquish the madness that tainted their homeland and reconquer paradise.


Goal: Plunge the secrets of the depths below to find an answer to the horrors above.

Take cover as Alex blows the place up.

Look around for clues without risking head to TNT explosion.

"BROTHER ALEX! Please, give us a moment to see if we can just open the door before you blow it up! "

"Sure, try whatever you have in mind, just be sure to take cover if it doesn't work." He replied, his smile fading.

"Thank you for your patience. Don't worry,I have the feeling you'll get to blow some things up before this is all over." Adam said, patting the disappointed man on his shoulder.

[Egan_BW]

"Bookshelf? Are those crystal books?

Grab some of those slabs on the left. Preferably before the church human gets his sweaty hands on them and presumably ascribes them to his god or something.

Spoiler: Wiellste, "IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM"-eist moth! (click to show/hide)

Name: Wiellste Gunsmithy

Description: A young Ethral, no taller than 4 feet. Her fur is unpatterned and a milky white. Usually wears a rather plain quilted brown silk cloak, and a polished copper mask with symmetrical, spiraling lines etched on the sides.

Goal: Wiellste is like many Ethral in that she seeks to gather knowledge about the world before all else. Though being an Ethral from Knot, her skills are largely more on the practical building side than the scholarly side. She isn't particularly invested in the teachings of the Tenebrous Church, but the idea of the spheres intrigues her, especially Balarim, with it's writings and technology.

Good news everyone!



The DIG wiki is now live! Much like in ER and the original DIG, this is where we will gather all of the information about the game, from rules and mechanics to lore and worldbuilding. You can click this link, or the fancy link in my sig to get you there.

Currently, all of the info from the rules and lore docs have been added, as well as some additional stuff. However, most of the things that have been brought up in the thread up till now, such as the crafting recipes, aren't in there yet, so feel free to start adding them in! As always, editing a wikia page does not require you to make an account, so don't let that stop you. However, if you do make an account and make edits while logged in you can earn little DIG achievement badges that are almost as useless as they are neat to have.

If you don't know where to start, you can start by making a character page. If you want an example, you can look at this handsome devil to get an idea (thanks to paris for nifty templates*). You can use your own character page as your own playground, and you could use it to keep track of things such as personal goals or notes or more in depth physical descriptions of your character. Note that you'll still need to post your charsheet within your turns though.

Happy editing!


_{^{*and to everyone else who already helped cobble this thing together.}}

[Pancaek]

Clate stares at the ceiling barrels, mumbling slightly

"Yeah. Yeah, that there looks like good crafting."

If TNT is getting used, get in cover.

Can I reach these ceiling barrels somehow? If so, I'd like to take one down and inspect it, without trying to open it yet. Just see if I get a feel about how they're supposed to open. If nothing bad happens, gather as many barrels as I can carry with me.

Spoiler: Clate (click to show/hide)

Name: Clate
Race: Shluck
Description: Being a Shluck, Clate is rarely seen outside of his environmental suit. Inside, he is the standard albino mollusk, with his only true defining characteristic being the alternating white/borwn pattern of his beak, much like on a nautilus shell. His environmental suit and exoskeltons are full of scuff marks and small blemishes from work, but the knowledgable observer will notice that it is mechanically kept in tip-top shape. He wears a toolbelt and a satchel to store his tools and other knickknacks, and has a blue cap perched on top of his helmet.
Goal: To create great works of craftsmanship and become filthy rich in the process.

[Caellath]

Vikkan was a bit surprised by Kara starting to unbutton her shirt. The fact the Corven didn't have mammaries didn't make the action less strange thanks to ingrained culture about humans and their habit of keeping their upper bodies covered. The feeling of strangeness was partially mitigated when he figured out she wanted to do something risky with the crystal being.

"Yes, it might be a good idea to wait before resorting to explosions."

Look around for loot, escape and take cover in case anyone tries anything dangerous.

Spoiler: Vikkan Laerthe, Human Bore Driver (click to show/hide)

Name: Vikkan Laerthe

Description: A human from Anvil and a moderate Chthonic who was born and raised close in the neighborhood of the Hammerfall boreyard, where his parents were employed as menial workers. Being so close to a place so filled with machinery and boring machines left a lasting impression on Vikkan, who became a furnace helper, then a drivemaster's apprentice until he finally reached the controls of a bore. He's quite good at conducting driving bores and, most importantly, he deeply enjoys his work.

Bore love aside, Vikkan is also generally quite friendly and good-humored even when he's not behind a bore's controls. He is, however, aware of his limitations out of the control room, and he'd rather leave most other matters to more skilled people. What he lacks in intellectual education he displays in polite curiosity, and he tends to be interested in listening even to topics he can only vaguely grasp, making for a good talking and drinking buddy if nothing else.

At odds with his friendliness, he looks rugged, if young. His hair is dark brown and cut short, and he has a well-groomed handlebar mustache (though he's been known to let it grow and style it into a horseshoe at times). A small diagonal scar moves from his right eyebrow to the bridge of his nose. His skin is brown and displays a few burns thanks to a few years of furnace and boiler work. He's fairly hairy, with his shirt's sleeves covering hairy arms and a few spots of scar tissue. His uniform is made of thick cloth and utilitarian, overalls, a long-sleeved shirt and a cap. His major concession to vanity is keeping his uniform and mustache impeccable.

Goal: To deep driving bores and having fun while doing it. It's not a difficult dream, even if it can be hard at times.

Move to the weird doorway in the wall and poke it a few times, see if it opens magically or something.  Lay a hand on it and focus on it opening.  Then maybe punch it a bit.  Generally just molest the wall until it stops blocking our path, and go through once it does.  If it doesn't, shrug and either follow whatever entrance has been created by another person's meddling, or leave the room and brace while Alex blows a hole in something.  Then climb through said hole, if there's no magma or forest of crystal blades or whatever on the other side..

If AsHul allows me to, take his Relic Fragment and use diving to cure him. I'm going to use Yengenze (Mind) then Udyne (Undo), with the intention of undoing the effects of the Silent Night. Reinforce both once.

Spoiler: Lokam Pilgrim (click to show/hide)

Name: Lokam Pilgrim

Description: Lokam is an Ethral Aspirant of the Tenebrous Chruch currently on pilgrimage. His soft fur is pale yellow, his large and fuzzy mane is golden and antennae and wings are dark purple with white details. His antennae, unlike most Ethral, are also very long and fluffy. Most of the time, he's wearing his silky church robes, which also have a hood included. His mask is very dark purple, with bright yellow spirals and curves, similar to tentacles.

Goal: His goal is to just complete his pilgrimage and ascend in the chruch. He wishes to go as deep as possible and someday become a Living Saint, Stygian or even a member of the Council. But his dream is to someday go deeper than everyone, reach the center and finally find God.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Garos Ellon
Description: Garos is a 4 feet moth-creature, with a black fur coating his body, the only different colors standing out on his form are located on his wings; blue circular marks that do give him two "eyes" on the back. Aside from the mask his kind naturally wears, he is also wearing a worn kettle helmet, which while doesn't provide the protection it normally should due to its current condition works like his lucky charm. The mask Garos wears is somewhat plain looking, all black aside from some blue marks along the "cheeks" and a crudely drawn star on the forehead area.
Goal: He is just hoping to gather himself a fortune and hopefully some fame too, just in case the hiring-and-shooting business becomes a necessity.
