I don't think so. I think two of the teams may HAVE to go to the supply room (if they're smart) because they just got their asses kicked in the XP room. I figure that the Wangs, despite getting crushed, plug on. Although I am curious if they were allowed to shop. I would think that since they were unconscious, they may not have been able to buy goods. So they may even have to go back.

I guess the question is this: Do we think the hallway advances us or does the ? room? I'm guessing the hallway but we'll see.

Although, I guess using my above argument, we could argue that we've got the time to take to go into the ? room.

I don't think the Wangs survive the dungeon at this point. I think they've had two guys knocked out twice, but I may be wrong there. That means their time lead doesn't concern me much.

Looking back, from what I've garnered from the write-ups and discussion:

DV has gone down twice, Danny and Autumn once each

EF has gone down twice, Jackal and CR once each

Abe, CF, and ntndeacon once each

Us: No knockdowns yet

IF everyone else charges ahead, which could their inclination, then I don't want us getting left behind BUT if they charge ahead, they'll be w/o heals basically. This is a tough freakin call.

So my gut is 60-40 in favor of moving down the hallway.

I'll be on early AM tomorrow (6 am CST) and should have access most of the day. If somebody puts in a PM order, let me know otherwise I can tomorrow.

I'm still up for the ? room if you guys want. Otherwise, I'd advocate skipping the exp room to move on ahead and save ourselves the KOs that seem inevitable from the hints others dropped (though this could have been them trying to mislead us).

I actually based it off of what KWhit said re: only three players are still conscious. Seems like the XP room is basically an endless onslaught.

With that being the case, if the DV's group heads there, I guess they'll be down to two men..er..women left.

Yeah, my big hope here is that people stay back. I think the two groups that went to the XP room are going to HAVE to go get supplies. Since they all got knocked out, they must have burned through health. Danny's group, who we beat, will probably do what we're doing, which is head down the hall. I would LOVE to see them take on the XP room but I don't think they will.

J23, since I know you're around some, what are your thoughts on purchases? Hoops has it worked out that we get:

Staff of lightning
Longsword +1
Lockpicks
2 health potions
and have 40 left over

The only thing I was wondering is if we just want to get the third health potion and have 15 left over. That gives one each.

I'm fine with the third potion. It just means that we aren't going to be getting much in the way of items for a little while.

I'm also pretty curious about the star room. If we are going to blow our wad, and we are only 8 seconds off the lead in the race, I'm thinking that it makes sense to go get something. So if we are scared of getting whacked by the XP room then instead lets check out the star room and see if we get something of note there.

Also, the meatshield only has 13 health so it might make sense to drop a heal on him right now before going into another room. I don't want to have to waste a combat action if we do encounter something in there that we need to battle.

KWHIT- Did we get experience points for our fight with the Wangs or was it just the satisfaction of slaying those smug bastards and getting gold?

Was there ever any doubt that the crowd would gravitate towards us? I'm just stunned that those hapless losers are still #2 on the list.

PB, if you could try to make it more of their blood and less of your own in the process that would be even better.

Or not ... having you wounded makes you a little more obedient so maybe that is for the best.

The purchases look fine to me.

I'll send in the order to heal PB as well, just in case.

Whatever games you want to play with them is fine by me. If they're foolish enough to rely on your word, then this is going to be easier to win than I had thought.

I genuinely think that two teams are going to the supply closet, the two that went for XP originally. The ones that I can't figure out are Danny but my guess is that they are heading down the hallway.

I think we go "?", make the purchases, and do the heal on PB prior to battle.

If that doesn't match the order can someone either update it or talk me out of this line of thought?

I sent in the heal order specifically, and nothing else.

PB - did you include the purchases in your PM?

BTW - it occured to me that it would be *hilarious* if the supply vendor had a limited amount of items to sell, so the sword, lockpicks, staff, etc wouldn't be avaliable to the other teams spending their turn there this turn.

This is what I sent KWhit, with a later PM to ask to be healed prior to entering the ? room:

Purchase The Staff of Lightning for J23, the Longsword +1 for PB, the lockpicks for Hoops, and three health potions (one for each of us, bringing us each to two I believe). That costs 425 of our 440. Spread the 15 pieces out equally to each.

After that, we will go in the door with the "?" mark. We wouldn't be evil if we weren't curious and destructive.

Oops, you sent that to me as well. I should have just gone and re-read my PMs.

I think we're good for today then.

Yeah, quite excited about the deadline as well. I really am enjoy this game and this team. Not quite as much as I enjoy killing, but still a lot. BTW, anybody else notice that Scud Farkus has been noticeably absent?

Just wanted to say this thread has been the most fun to read so far since I've been back in town this week.

Also, giving a shout out to Hoops!

Scud is clearly terrified of you. That is the only explanation (guffaw).

Inner monologue - why does the half-wit obsess over the simplest of things? When the time comes to dispose of him I'll merely say, "Look, Scud Farkus!" and then plunge my daggers into his spine when he spins around in a full-on berserko/dumbass rage.

As for you, it would be about time that you battle someone that I haven't already weakened for you. Of course, you can't face me like a man.

That is why I dropped in. I didn't remember what it felt like on a day 4.

J23 casts Heal on PB. You buy your items.

J23 takes the Staff. This staff shoots a bolt of lightning at your opponent, with a greater chance to hit and more damage than your traditional attack. It has an unlimited supply of charges.

?? Room

You open the door with the question mark.

A blue glowing portal is in front of you.

You say "What the hell?" and enter the portal.

A nauseous tugging sensation in your guts and then:

You're back at the button room.

The 4 buttons on the wall in front of you are once again active. They are labeled:

Bestiarii
Big Wang Theory
Killian's Killers
Deutschbäg

You may once again press one of them.

Interesting.... I would say we use the button to try to snipe one of the two teams that we think went into the supply room while they may be wounded. Thoughts?

I would say either the Wangs again (but I'm worried nothing will hit them since they aren't in the glass room again) OR Bestiarii.

If you want to kill off EF, just say so!

I'm totally fine with dropping it on them if you're worried about the room mechanics.

Pushing the button on ourselves might not be a bad option either - could get some experience rather than giving it to other teams.

We might want to watch the timing of it though. If we press their button, they'll retaliate and hit ours Im sure. While we could probably deal with it just fine, would it be better to let them try to weaken one of the other groups in the meantime?

Either way, I think we should hold off and make the decision with more information (which they push) if possible.
