This is Flight from the Dark, not 'go into the dark away from the flight'. We have to stay out of dark spaces. Keep running up that hill.

Bravely go through the forest!Comstar posted:I'm pretty sure if you looked at the map the right way to go was left. HIDE The problem is that although we started heading south, the book describes the path as 'twisting'. We have no way of determining our facing when we reach the junction from context. I think this happens more than once, and it's kind of bothersome that they don't give compass directions.

Take me to the river. Perhaps the multiple connected paragraphs are a sort of pacing thing - a page-long section feels like it's important. I always figured there was some amount of editing to break the paragraphs up into similarly-sized sections as well, to keep the long ones from being too obvious. Either that or it's the illusion of choice. I know some of the CYOA have had directed graphs made of them. I think it's been done for at least some of the Lone Wolf series, too. I wonder how they compare.

That tattoo is probably the biggest clue to the culprit, although the other was picked up on by UnwiseTrout - he seems to not know about the war going on but ought to as a Sommlending. Possibly it's also curious that he traveled 'by coach' if he went all the way, given that the enemy had the city surrounded by land. He's the second-most suspicious passenger on the coach — the first being the 'simple peasant' who carries weapons and a fancy cloak and tosses gold crowns around like itikar droppings.

Tiggum posted:That is dangerously close to being a spoiler, so it's a good thing you're wrong. As with the previous decision, both choices are viable in this version. I realized that regardless of what it was referring to, to an outside observer it looks exactly like a spoiler, or at least a winking reference. I think if I were reading this new, that sort of thing would annoy me, and I'll refrain from hinting at things before we get to them. (I'll still vote, because my choices are all over the place with respect to foreknowledge.) Ignore the szalls, heal the wounded guy.

I know there was a mobile game made, and that's probably the same thing, though I haven't played either of them. Haven't heard much good about it. I don't know if there is any 'darklord script', but that image is in ORGADAK SHADA TAAG OKAK- ORGADAK OK- NARA EK ASH JEK EG HELGEDAD Near as I can tell from the Giak word list it's something like 'kill the human soldiers, capture the officers, and take them to Helgedad'. e: The language is Giak, but I don't know what the script is actually called. The same alphabet symbols are seen on some human things, so it's presumably a common one. I imagine it's like the Latin script, with the letters having potentially different sounds in different languages. As for this section, let's see where that detour goes.

While this is one of my favorite of the books, it is kind of amusing how it's suddenly become this game of bureaucratic navigation. The sudden necessity of having to find the 'consulate' and obtain passes is kind of a far cry from the typical fantasy world of relying on the word of the nobility or knowledge of someone's father/master/comrade-in-arms. Let's give our money to the paper-boy.

You can also be in a dead man walking state if you're dumb enough to sell the Seal of Hammerdal (it's an option in Ragadorn), but I'd say you deserve that one if it happens. We should run away.

To the tower! The 'official' (which is to say, extratextual and thus not binding on this LP) word on the Sommerswerd is that it is in indeed not a weapon, just a Special Item that boosts combat ability. I think that's silly, and good on you for making it more sane. The source in this case is the Reader's Handbook, which I'm pretty sure cites one of the newsletters that clarified it.

Tiggum posted:I assume the Shianti, but I'm not sure if it's ever definitively stated. We might find out later though? The supplemental Magnamund Companion confirms this, and states that the Shianti built Ikaya. It also mentions that the Shianti (who appeared about 6000 years before present) were known by various names including the Ancients, Majhan, and Suukon. The Shianti actually came through a 'shadow gate' themselves, of course. I feel like smashing things up, to quote Matthew Slaughter.

I think we should be on the level. No tricks here. This book was the one that I liked a lot more when I was younger, and it felt very Indiana Jones. I think when I came back to it later I found it feels a bit meandering, like why we're sort of stumbling through this ancient trapped tomb that we never intended to enter.

Add Tracking, drop the Silver Key, take the Chainmail in place of the Padded Waistcoat. As far as TCOK, I know that Ikaya was our destination, but it just doesn't really feel like much of a 'fortress'. I expected more sneaking by guards (which, to be fair, you get some of) and something better toward the end than "and then you meet a wizard who takes you to the throne room and it's alot of neat stuff that you don't get to see but it was really exciting trust me bye have fun". Although I actually really like the detail about the Helghast on the same mission as you. Kangra fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Oct 6, 2017 |
