That sounds fairly ominous in a number of ways!

So, making sure I have this correct. If you went left in the first room, going right would NOT put you back at the same room you just left?

Mustang · 02-09-2009, 01:15 PM

Oh and, not sure why my last post has me winking.

Right, your orientation changes as you move, just like in real life. Otherwise I'd have to remember what starting position players had way back when and in a couple of weeks, I may not remember where you started on the map.

That's why I am giving you fair warning now. If you turn left, and are in a room with exits forward, right and backwards, turning right takes you to a new room, diagonal from your original room. That's also why i mentioned that everyone starts facing inward.

The Jackal · 02-09-2009, 01:23 PM

It's just like Labyrinth, piece of cake. I'm sure Abe will have things that move us to random locations too. Disorientation is awesome.

As a priest I would be deep in mourning over the potential loss of any of our fellow adventurers and give them their proper final rites.

That said, is it possible to find other PC corpses and loot them for anything of use?

Yes, if someone dies, their corpse is on the floor and its items can be taken. However, the magical items will need to be reidentified.

DaddyTorgo · 02-09-2009, 02:10 PM

so if i have exits forward and right and i go right...my orientation will change so that the room i came from is "behind" ? like i'm walking into the room facing forward? or am i sliding into the room facing inward so that the room i came from is "left" ?

He selected Human Artificer, but I determined randomly and rolled Human Wizard. Since that was so close anyway, I decided to give him his desire.

Him didn't know this was an option, I'm tempted to request being added now myself

The first part...you turn to your right, and you walk into the room facing forward, so the room you were in is behind you.

ok - well that's slightly more follow-able.

anyone have any thoughts for how to map this most easily?

I think pen and paper would be easiest, other than that, you could muck up some graphics in Word or Paint or some such if you have any proficiency. I'm probably just going to do it in my head until I confuse myself.

Really all I am doing is drawing a box with a few details about that room, then I will draw an arrow and another box toward the direction I move (I am moving forward today, so my next box will be below my first one) I don't think it needs to be anything extravagant.

PackerFanatic · 02-09-2009, 02:42 PM

And actually, a better way might be to start at the bottom of the page and go up, that way your directions are always correct.

Abe Sargent · 02-09-2009, 02:51 PM

Danny has been added to the game but still needs to give me his movement order for the Movement Phase today. No more adds unless they come in now though.

Random dice gave him Trow Warrior

The first, behind will always take you to where you've just been.

Assuming you can even go behind at all

PurdueBrad · 02-09-2009, 02:54 PM

I'm glad Danny is in, just so something bad can happen to him.

Cool, now I get to speak with a trollish accent throughout the game.

Meez be a trow warrior who is looking for adventure mon. I be fighting with honor and courage.

PurdueBrad · 02-09-2009, 02:55 PM

I'm going forward as of now and am also mapping my locations. I'm doing mine in a word document.

Abe Sargent · 02-09-2009, 02:55 PM

Oh, I have a giant posterboard with the dungeon on it. each player is on a mini post it note. The Post it notes have your name and an arrow to show your facing. They are color coded by class, so when Danny joined, I added another pink Post It to the board.

Pink be the color of courage

Danny · 02-09-2009, 02:58 PM

I currently be in a room where the earth be growing over old stones. There be a star in my room that growing out of the earth too. There also be a now wet bush in the room, be watching wear you step if you comin in.

I can either be going forward, left or right. I be choosing right.

Danny · 02-09-2009, 03:10 PM

Hmmm, my description said trollish, so I thought I was a troll. I thought Dvergar were the norse dwarves?

Danny · 02-09-2009, 03:16 PM

Ah I see it fixed now. It seems I am actually more Scandinavian, but I am not sure how to talk like that. I might stick with the trollish talk I have gone with so far.

Abe Sargent · 02-09-2009, 03:36 PM

I have absolutely no clue at all how long it will take to process the movement actions. Combat, running descriptions, etc. I am going to start doing a few now, just to get some ready. It could take me an hour or more. You still have the absolute right to change your mind and such, but it will give me a chance to start the dice rolling. Literally, I have a selection right here at my desktop.

what then!!!

There's only one other Trow and one other warrior. Dubb and Kwhit move up my list of honor.

YES!!

i have vanquished some evil from our dungeon!

Danny · 02-09-2009, 04:14 PM

I encountered a large killer mushroom and managed to kill it after going into berserk mode. Good thing too, as it was kicking me arse before I went berserk. The mushroom man wasn't carrying any gold, but I got an item that can heal me.

DaddyTorgo · 02-09-2009, 04:14 PM

uhh nope. i killed something called an Annis. and fyi it only took one swing of my mighty sword - so i'm no pushover just because i'm a paladin!

Danny · 02-09-2009, 04:16 PM

Let's see whether or not you bubble hearth at the first sign of danger.

dubb93 · 02-09-2009, 04:23 PM

What direction did you two move? Because it seems to me Danny had more problems than DT.

I moved right.

Danny · 02-09-2009, 04:26 PM

I actually swung and miss at this thing 5 times before going berserk and killing it in one shot.

chesapeake · 02-09-2009, 04:35 PM

[Chesapeake ponders DTs experience for a moment]

I seem to recall an ancient tome that refers to the annis. It was classification of evil hag. You are, indeed, fortunate to have emerged the victor in your conflagration, for I believe that the annis is quite magical in nature and can assume a variety of different disguises.

The book I read, I remember, was bound with this old leather -- at least it had the feel for leather, but you know oftentimes these ancient books are bound in the hides of other animals. In my own library I have bindings in the hides of at least 47 different animals. You'd think that the calfskin would be the most supple, but I actually have one bound in the hide of the rare Abynesian goat that has texture that is almost otherworldly.

Perhaps it is otherworldly. I must consider this possibility. If you'll all excuse me.

Poli · 02-09-2009, 04:38 PM

I moved forward from the fountain,
I found a library and some mages
Two if you are countin'
They returned to their pages

I have to kill the mages to search this place
That sounds like a bad idea for me,
I can move forward, left, right, or about face,
Left seems the place to be
For someone smaller than a Taurian like me.
