Can I have swords for hands?
No, what about wings, but instead of feathers, they have bronze daggers?
Is Xephanim on the menu? What sauce would you recommend to go with it?
Can I invite some of my friends over to this place? I bet my pal Ishamal would really like it here!

:ohdear: When I meant take Az up his offer to party, I didn't think it would entail giving up Snuls! (I was thinking of the other offer, after we were buds when we talked about the potential of hiding out there with Naomi and our future kids before the wedding). Still...don't worry boy, we're coming!

Now to work!

We heard a strange voice as we came here. What could it be?! Perhaps it was...Snuls??

Try thinking to Snuls and asking where he is! See if anything happens!

Questions:

Come on, there's always a loophole. How do I get Snarls back? C'mooon...tell a bro!

So, does there happen to be a labyrinth around here? One that might have Snarls in the middle? Eh, eh?

Ask to see our contract with Azz so we can read the fine print

So...uh...what's up with those satyrs being tortured over there?

A weird time in which we are alive. We can travel anywhere we want, even to other planets. And for what? To sit day after day, declining in morale and hope.
A - we made the deal because we were starving, so let's eat first. Eternal hunger/all you can eat? Sounds grand!

Ask Asbeel if we can get a new dog, right now, to join us? How about a talking dog? His choice on breed.

Hmm... I refuse there's not a tricksy way to find Snuls!

(and yes I know this isn't cannon and it's OK if we don't find him, but I enjoy the puzzle of trying to work out a way to do a grand reunion/rescue more than I do savoring the delights of the palace. Currently anyway.) :toot:

So...there other guests, where are they? Um, what happened to them?

So...if a month passes here, how much time passes in Ur?


I'm torn between going to the Hall of Answers to check out contract for fine print and seeking out the Heart of the Palace for answers. Will vote soon.

I believe we'll be able to visit different parts of the palace, but it is totally possible that the tester is continuing to test us or perhaps even giving us a chance to redeem ourselves?

I think the coolest options are either seeing Azzazel and his minions conjure up heroes of old to see his perspective on them as I'm sure they will be, erm, biased or perhaps going to the Vault of Eyes and exploring the parts of Ur we are not likely to visit in Kavodel timeline. Initially I don't see a reason to strive for breaking the system as I suspect we'll find some answers as we go and will have opportunities later to explore that aspect of it. For now we don't even know how true the idea of "anything you desire" is, it may be mockeries of those things we seek. I think we will find answers simply by exploring anything right now, so why not keep it exotic and fantastical?

That's kinda what I've been trying to feel out. Like there might be some other seemingly mundane option to explore that may lead us to a quest to redeem ourselves/find the Snuls?

It's possible I'm wrong and Diog hasn't built in any way to do that, but from a GM perspective I kinda doubt he'd build such a fun scenario without also working in a way to rescue our best bud.

But yeah, if it seems fruitless I agree that watching the Heroes of Old fight crazy monsters in instant replay is a boss way to spend our time. Vault of Eyes sounds like the hsit too. And goons may stab me if I don't vote for one or the other, itching as they must be for both. I'm inclined to give looking at the contract or seeking out the heart of the palace first tho.
