I vote Faw picks up the crystal while Wallace stands in the doorway.
|
Faw is not stupid enough to add the campcrystal to the Strudelire.
|
We haven't done anything so dumb we'd have to restart.
If I anything I think we should all ignore Wallace's commands, and that includes the DM. |
I simply must agree.
However, we will have to restart, having killed Faw. |
Oh I didn't realize we died at that point, your healing command right afterward and an almost two page discussion on theories threw me off.
|
I just wanted to see what would happen if Faw tried to heal himself.
|
Examine surroundings and exits!
|
The only exit is East, and it's hard to run through a doorway with a spike through your body. D= Especially if the doorway is blocked off.
|
Put the crystal in its original position and leave the room
|
Can't we just ask Dennis to teleport us to somewhere else?
|
Dennis isn't here. What good would it do, anyway? We'd just be further away from our goal.
|
Wow, sorry, I keep forgetting this exists. I'll try to up the replyage a bit.
I let go of the tear-shaped crystal and let it roll back towards the middle of the room. The spike that had impaled me shot back down into the ground and those barring the door retracted back into the ceiling. "I heard muffled gargly coughs of death," Uberbob's voice called from the doorway, "are you okay?" I tried to respond, but I seemed to have lost my ability to speak. I internally debated whether life with Uberbob was still worth living. "I'm no expert, but I'd say he's dying," Araches said, a hint of loathing in her voice. "Go get Fooru-" A sudden exclamation cut her off. "Poof!" Araches and Uberbob both turned around to find Fooruman standing in his canoe, striking a dramatic stance. "Oh, hi," Uberbob greeted the wizard while I lay bleeding on the ground, "fix Faw. He looks more injured than usual." The wizard raised the canoe paddle high over his head and bellowed towards the ceiling "By the powers invested in me, the high Lord of Gondor, and in the name of the Seven Fruity Flavors... I now pronounce you HEALED!" He brought the paddle down and smacked me hard on the head with it, which didn't make me feel much better. "Oh, right, apologies, Madam," the wizard said as he began shaking the paddle vigorously until it glowed bright white with arcane power, then proceed to smack me with it again. Oddly enough, though, this time I felt better. I carefully got back on my feet, trying to wipe the blood off my shirt and failing. "Oh. Thanks, Fooruman." "It was my pleasure, my lady. And the canoe's. However, I feel as though I must advise you to be more careful in the future when you attempt things that will inevitably end in your painful death, as it would seem to you that it seems to me that my arcane powers are not omnipowerful today, yet." "He means you can only go getting injured so long as we have healing magic left," Araches translated, looking a bit disgusted at having actually understood the archmage. "What's gotten into you, Faw? You've been using yourself as a guinea pig. We have Uberbob for that." "Yeah," the gray rabbit said, throwing his arm around Araches' shoulders, "see? Someone still has confidence in my leadership abilities." Araches pried Uberbob's arm off from around her and backed away to the other side of the room. "Don't worry," I encouraged, "I saved before we came in here." The sorceress looked perplexed. "You saved?" "Yeah. There was a save point back at the Birdclaw Mansion." It wasn't rocket science. "How is that supposed to work?" "Well, if we die, I guess time resets back to the save point. Have you ever heard of Quantum Suicide? I imagine it's kind of like that. As far as we can tell, we'll never be defeated." "Sooo... you plan to solve this puzzle through excessive trial and error until finally, perhaps in some remote universe, you finally succeed on your first try? And meanwhile, if this happens to be one of those failed universes where you do die, we're down one healer and all die miserable, painful deaths from either traps, attack, or starvation?" "Yeah. Well, it sounded better when I explained it." "Awesome. I'm going to go check up on the girls." With that, Araches left the room. Uberbob, who had remained fairly quiet through our conversation on save points, finally commented. "I don't think she likes you. You should try to act more like me." I cast him a soul-piercing glare and he smiled and waved back. Also, whoever asked about spells: Faw usually has Heal, Raise, Defender, and Animate Dead, but the Heal is currently used up. As is the canoe's Heal.
Inventory Code:
|
Aww, isn't that sweet. Rad loves us so much he let us heal Faw.
Eastwards. |
Check the sleeping bag for more things that might be hidden inside...
|
And give Uberbob a bag of chips.
|
And cuddle up to the sleeping bag, too.
|
I walked out the doorway to the east. Fooruman was in this hallway, staring intently at the ceiling. "Ah, Mr. Fawriel, glad you could join me."
"Hello Archmage Fooruman!" Uberbob greeted brightly. The wizard ignored him. I decided that I should check the sleeping bag I found earlier for any hidden... anything. I unrolled the bag and looked deep down into it. Sadly, it looked to contain nothing. Failing that, I thought oddly like I should give Uberbob a bag of chips. "Uberbob," I addressed, "here. Take this bag of chips." "Fawriel..." he said, looking down at the bag, eyes wide open, "this is an item. Are you sure you just want to give it away like this? To me?" "Yeah. You... deserve it. Or something." "Wow, thanks Faw!" he exclaimed, taking the bag and hugging me. "I'll love it forver and name it Bagsworth." Some part of me wanted to cuddle up with the sleeping bag. That part I felt I could say no to even without Araches slapping me.
Inventory Code:

E again, bringing Uberbob with you.
|
I, um, rather like the idea of using Animate Dead to get the skeleton to pick up the crystals or something like that.
|
If someone else picks up a crystal, Faw will still get impaled. I'm pretty sure of that.
|
Quote:
|
Violet, just have Uberbob pick it up or something. It's more or less the same thing.
|
(-) it Minmay, what about us people who want a reanimated skeleton just for the sake of having one.
Think, we could push him off ledges, use his bones as weapons(Maybe. I don't think he'd like that), and other things. |
Quote:
[IMG]http://eli.marable-family.net/images/SkeletonR.gif[/IMG] If you want a version that points left, ask me or make it yourself. Also, it may be prudent to move it to Foxmage if you're going to use it. |
Quote:
I don't think a left version is that necessary; I'll just give it a tendency to face right and ignore any commands of "make skeleton face west". |
Well, then, Animate Dead on the skeleton.
EDIT: And cast Defender on self. |
Ask Sam if he can Manaflare the skeleton afterwards.
|
Sam isn't even here. Besides, manaflare is only useful on spellcasters, and I doubt a headless skeleton would be smart enough to know any spells.
|
Sam would probably be really useful in this puzzle, though. He could Manaflare Faw and we'd have unlimited healing. D=
|
Dive in the fountain... look for an underwater tunnel...
|
No... tell Uberbob to do that. Tell Uberbob not to tell Araches to do that.
|
And then tell Shuriken to tell L33tz4n to tell Uberbob to tell Araches to do it.
|
Me getting stabbed was definitely the wrong way to go about solving this puzzle, I knew that much. "I have an idea," I told Uberbob, walking back through the door to the south.
I went back down to the campsite where the skeleton of the unfortunate adventurer still lay, decapitated. I extended my hand over the skeleton and summoned forth the darker side of my healative powers. The bones shuddered slightly, then rose up, eminating a great dark energy. I felt so cool just then, like a full-fledged necromancer but with more friends. "Go forth, my undead minion!" I cried in the skeleton's general direction, "go forth and.... eh, follow me for a while," and with that I decided to go back to the fountain and see how everyone else was doing. Back in the fountain room, Araches, L33tz4n, and Shuriken were talking about something or other and didn't seem to notice my enterance, or that of my cool skeleton. I looked at the fountain, and started to suspect that maybe there was some secret tunnel I had overlooked earlier. "Uberbob," I called north, "come here and help me scout this." "Scout what?" he asked as he walked through the doorway to the north. "Ara-" "The fountain. Underwater is an excellent place to conceal things. You'd hardly be able to tell it apart from the crystal around it." Uberbob raised an eyebrow, like he was trying to follow my train of thought but ran out of gas. "Dive in the fountain. Look for anything." I simplified. "Can do!" the rabbit said optimistically. Sensing impending idiocy, Araches and Shuriken turned to watch. The rabbit backed up against the wall, charged forward, lept in the air, dove headfirst into the water, then learned it was a foot deep. Araches applauded. L33tz4n covered her eyes. Even Shuriken looked like she had to surpress a chuckle. I sighed. "Headless skeleton, go help Uberbob up. And see if he's okay. In that order." The skeleton strode forward and took Uberbob by the arm, lifting his dazed-looking body out of the shallow pool. "Thanks, Faw," he said to the skeleton, "I didn't find anything, sorry. By the way, you look thinner. Did you lose weight or are you just naked?" I decided to attribute this question to having dove headfirst into foot-deep water and not respond.
Inventory Code:
|
Rather than use up our limited healing spells, summon the Arabian War Acpuncturist as it's got essentially unlimited healing capability. And make sure it heals people *before* they die.
|
Sketch a map of where you've been so far and look at it. Ask the skeleton to lead you towards the whatever that killed it. Give Uberbob another bag of chips. Tell Uberbob to climb to the top of the fountain and get the shiny item.
|
Our Spells:
Code: This could be helpful... I obviously omitted all the spells we used already, and I didn't include Quantum Squaredance because it's useless right now. And before you ask what does Feat do: Quote:
|
Why thank you, Cooba. That saves me the trouble of posting those and appearing knowledgeable.
Look, Boggy, an accupuncturist won't help if Faw has a spike through his body. |

And do you think that an accupuncturist (why do people keep misspelling this? I'm not even sure if I spelled it right) can help Faw when he's a bloody mess on the ground?
EDIT: Pageclaim for healing Faw. |
