Okay, there was some weirdness with the images last time I tried this. So. Take 2. I had to share this. I promise not to do stuff like throw Squirrel Girl at people too much. I couldn't help it though.

Why is it always squirrels... The number of times squirrels have become a kind of antagonist recently, it's amazing.

I think it's because the word squirrel is inherently funny.

True enough. Also the notion that this diminutive, cute thing with a penchant for nuts can be anything close to malevolent is nice idea, and often leads to hilarity. Have you ever seen a squirrel look surprised? Or angry? Me neither, but it's fun to play with.

I think I did once see a squirrel that was drunk. In person, that is. When I was at Uni, the campus squirrels were much more fearless than, say, my backyard squirrels. The campus squirrels would run away if you got inside a few feet, but had a much higher people tolerance. I imagine they got fed by people a lot. But there was only the one time I actually had to walk around a squirrel, because it straight up refused to abandon its pumpkin in order to leave the pavement. Given that pumpkins can ferment, and woodland animals can then become intoxicated off them... yeah, I think the squirrel was drunk. Not as drunk as this one though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ikH9ZRcF2Q

I had a squirrel attack me once. The ones in the park near my parents' place tend to pelt people with nuts if they get too close to their trees. Being hit on the head with an acorn then chittered angrily at is... Weird.

Man, I didn't even think to have the precocious Protoxerini pelt Paul with pericarp. Oh well. Maybe another RP group some other time.

If you're curious, Paul did a grapple roll to try and land on his illusory insect, and will be treated as though he's in mounted combat for as long as he's on it. Though with an added penalty due to the fact that his mount really doesn't want to be mounted.
Apologies to Prof. Cinders, I know you haven't had much to do. I'm going to try and find some way of working things so you have more opportunities to act.

I've been out of it in more ways than one and have COMPLETELY lost track of where I've been. I do not feel the desire to go into my personal life on here, suffice to say that hopefully I'm in a better place and can get back to being an awesome mutant. Mind giving me a summary of what Sophie's aware of happening?

Literally nothing I'm pretty sure your still making sandwiches you've missed about 30 minutes of in game time if I had to guess.

Yeah, you were making sandwiches, and Kitty was asking you if you knew where Paul was, which you don't.
Speaking of Paul, sorry for the delay in responding. I'll try to have something up before I turn in tonight, and get all my combat data organized either tonight or tomorrow so I can respond more quickly.

Kurt has a freaking D10 in fighting, and uses a wild die. He's an X-Man, so I gave him some pretty good stats.
He nearly stabbed himself in the foot back there. The dice HATE Nightcrawler for some reason.

Just FYI, when I said third story, I was thinking American third story (You're in New York, after all), not UK. So your feet are about 20 feet from the ground, not 30. Thank God, because... you failed everything. You very nearly got snake eyes on your climbing roll. I gave you an agility roll to catch another windowsill and you failed that. I gave you a spirit roll to teleport out in time, and you failed that too. So... I'm gonna give you the option to use a benny to make that teleport roll. Otherwise, you'll hit the ground for 2 d6+1 worth of damage.

This is an OOC board. ^_^
And I'd have made you hit the ground, for the record. Splat.

Okay, for the primary thread, just so you know, I'm not expecting you to be cryptographers. You can certainly go that way and try to crack it, hence why I supplied the text, but you don't have to. Also the amulet is Maiy's gift from her birthday.

I look forward to receiving it as soon as I ditch my stalker. EDIT: I'm terrible at codes, but if they're read out to Sophie so she can put them in her phone and have a think (Mankoi OK-ed me to have braille-compatible smartphone already) I'll have a go!

If you like having things described to you in a non-visual way, you might try the Infocom game Suspended. You get to control five robots... only one of them can see, and that robot can't visit most of the map, AND starts out broken and needs repair.
I know May has, in the past, not gotten on well in text adventures, but the great thing about Suspended is that it's so inanely hard that if you accomplish nothing and die, you aren't doing worse than anyone else. And it's still fun to play with the robots. Especially Poet.

Oh, there's one text adventure I keep playing. It's literally one of my life goals to produce a full walkthrough. I can get about two thirds of the way through...

Fair enough! Suspended is, I believe, the personal favorite of Douglas Adams. Besides, perhaps, the two he was involved with... It comes recommended. Just don't expect to win. I cheated, found the answers to all the puzzles, and I STILL can't get the best ending...

I am, by the way, referring to the Crisis of Dersenia. I can send it to anyone who's interested in text adventures. Reward for anyone who gives me a hint to one of the parts I'm stuck on!

I figured that would be the one. I think I have a copy floating around somewhere.

Well, get playing ^_^
Seriously, I can't get past the bandits, and while I can GET the knife, I can't get it *out* again. That's all I'm lacking, I can get the other items for the goddess. And can provide hints, for that matter.
