We don't really have anything to lose ;p

We do, Canti. We can lose Faw.


Don't do what AE suggested. Before we try anything like that, we should pick up the shard in the corner, which seems to allow us to safely shuffle around the gems.

Shard in the corner?

Maybe it's only in one room. I didn't really check.

We don't want to hurt Faw again. At the very least he should cast Defender on himself.

This is just to say
 

If Faw dies we just reset anyways, it doesn't matter that much.

But it will make Radium sad.

Faw, too.

Ok, obviously killing Faw doesn't solve the puzzle. Our aim is to solve the puzzle.

You're in the way of our goal.

n00b put it way better than I did.

I didn't mean that solves it, it just gives us the capacity to try whatever we want and be able to come back like new.

Okay, but we can infer from past posts that throwing the crystal into the room from a distance will get Faw impaled and not help us at all.

First, when we simply put it down Faw got impaled.
Second, when we pulled one of the gems out of the room with L33tz4n's whip (with Shuri OUTSIDE of the room), Shuri got impaled (and killed, at that).


So it's logical that Faw will just get hurt.


And, looking back to when we picked up the shard in the corner, eight spikes came down and blocked the doorway, but Shuriken didn't get impaled (L33tz4n did, but that's only because she was in the doorway). She still didn't get impaled after picking up the pyramid and putting down the crystal, but with that done and the shard back in the corner, the spikes didn't go up.

The spikes ONLY went back up when the room was back in its original state.


What's that tell you? Certainly not that we should use the same failed tactic over and over.



Now, I would recommend doing something more or less safe until we figure out exactly how to use the gems. I mean, obviously trial and error is not the way to go. Who knows? Maybe the gem rooms are just there to distract us (and impale us).

Let's climb up on the fountain and maybe drink some of its water.

Oh, yeah, and give L33tz4n a bag of chips.

Maybe I just misinterpreted your statement, but in the past thread, every time you have moved a gem the doorway spikes have come down and someone has gotten impaled. That's all the pattern is, no fancy 'this crystal does this, that crystal does that' stuff.

It's only when we pick them up or take them out of the room (or put the crystal down). Just sliding them around does nothing, I think.

Blah blah blah, word choice, word choice. That was what I meant by moving.

Oh.

Sorry.

So the only rooms that can be found interesting if the gems are just a painful distraction are the room with the fountain, the craving room and the campsite?

Yeah.



And I pretty much know that throwing the crystal in from a distance/swapping it out for a gem will get Faw painfully impaled, so let's not try that.


...E, N, E, press the PDA into one of the squares in the carving.

Ask L33tz4n to eat some of the chips.

Why not just give her the bag? Open it for her if necessary.

Summary:

Eat chips and give some to L33tz4n.

Sounds good.

...jump in the fountain.

Fanart. It's Ubarrrrrrrrrrrrrrbob. :)

Nice.

Uberbob even did have a peg leg for quite a while in the story.

... yarr...

... and, boredom rules! It makes me draw better because I have time left! \o/

Oooh, I have an idea!

Quickly run E, N, N, but before doing that give L33tz4n a bag of chips and a generic foodbar.

So, wait, what's the general consensus?

If you impale Faw again I'll be very sad. D=

EDIT: If it means anything, 2 people (Ae, Wallace) want to stand on the square, then put down the crystal and pick up the pyramid, 2 people (n00b, Xobim) want to throw the crystal in from outside of the room, and 2 people (me, my mother) want to avoid those (since I'm certain they'll get Faw impaled) and instead give some chips to L33tz4n and scurry W, N, N, E.

I must agree, I don't want faw to be impaled. So Feed the chips to L33tz4n and scurry.

Give her some foodbars too.

No, those are going to be handy later.

Oh.

Read the Tarot Cards too.

I agree with Minmay/Birdie. Just for the sake of keeping Faw impalement-free.

I don't like this room.

Exit the room, head back to the campsite. I would like to take a look at that crack beside the skeleton.

What would happen if we place the gem on the floor at the campsite?

I'd expect nothing to happen, considering it was there when we found it. 's not something to try, though.

And, I guess the final decision is: E, examine the cracks near the skeletion, give a bag of chips to L33tz4n, N, N, W.

Or, if you don't want to skip a room, just go N, N after giving her the chips.

I love how it's taken us one whole page to agree on giving Leetzan chips.

Just for the sake of moving on, just do what Minmay said.

I guess that's the general consensus then.

It's the true Uberbobian way.

But isn't giving her a bag of chips such a wonderful idea, now?

I vote give her a bag of chips and do what they say.
