P2e - Threshold of Knowledge

What Digi said, hope you feel better soon! @PatientBean Health always comes first.

I'll finally get a post up today or tomorrow, excited to properly hop in.

Backrooms: The Thing that Breathes

Oh boy, oh boy, going to post this weekend still! Sorry for the wait on my part as well.

Planescape: Search for Tir na Og

Posted! Man, Garnet is really not good at sneaking, she must be snickering to herself while she goes or something.

Mariel elects to keep tabs on Garnet using insight.

Will toss up a post up later today.

Edit: I accidentally wrote Perception for the dice roll, but it should be an insight roll. :D

@Abstract Proxy

So even with an insight of 8, I definitely imagine Mariel would have noticed Garnet being bored and looking for something to do. Maybe not realizing she was about to steal right away, but there was definitely a glint in her eye that she can interpret in whatever way makes sense to her!

Garnet was spared from the ill effects of dimensional travel with a stomach full of sugar, not due to any form of self-restraint, but by the rest of the group's rush. She simply didn't have time to gobble up the cone in one go (the only proper way to eat ice cream), before she had to scurry after the rest of the party.

As she was hurrying through the portal, she caught the tail end of the Ice Cream Refuser's send-off and the accompanying smile. Garnet matched it with a grin and a wave of her hand.

What they found on the other side of the doorway was far less interesting than the Bazaar. Rows upon rows of stalls and vendors had been replaced by boring old scrolls, the stuffy smell of dust and ink heavy in the air. It was a far cry from the smells of the marketplace, which had been overwhelming and strong and interesting.

A gnome was busy at work, calling out to them to come inspect his work. Tall Ice Cream Offerer walked up and did so. Garnet yawned and ate the ice cream with her entire face — and hair, judging by some of the tarry remains on her strands.

Well, sounded like they got the whole map thing figured out, so—

She looked around, fingers sticky from both ice cream and greed. Maps, maps, maps, and-- shiny?! Her gaze honed in on a few compasses lying around, as well as small trinkets of unknown origins. She could tell some of the former were dwarven craftsmanship, and that small whiff of home turned her impish grin into a somewhat more somber smile.

All the same, she snuck towards the compass — and whatever else she might accidentally pick up on the way.

ooc

Garnet tries to sneak towards the compasses and trinkets with a stealth check of 11.

It was at the exact moment her explosion went off, sending her soaring through the sky in an uncontrolled free fall, that Silje realized why she probably should have given a warning about the explosion. Unfortunately, by then it was way too late.

Fortunately, there was Justice.

A quick glance behind her was enough to clue Silje in that their squad leader had intervened and contained the blast. The barriers, shimmering in a familiar colour, were a clear enough indication of her involvement. Then came the light and the heat and the sound, and Silje could no longer see anything but bright light. A few seconds and a loud thunk later, she could no longer see that, either.

"... Ow."

Silje found herself in a heap inside a crate, her fall broken before it could turn dangerous. Her knee hovered inches from her face, and her back and shoulders hurt from where they'd met the hard wood, but nothing seemed outright broken. Shapes still danced inside her eyelids from the flash bang of the explosion. Her head spun. The explosion had been something else.

And she'd do it again.

_{^{"That was} so} cool!" She shouted as she burst out of her makeshift solitary confinement like a bright-eyed jack in the box, fists thrust into the air. "We sho— oh?"

She slunk back down upon realizing she was interrupting something. That something being Kalina, greeting an old friend. Intensely. With a gun.

"Just-- gimme a holler if you wanna blow up the other knee too!" Silje called out, supportive as ever. She was snugly back inside her box, save for a hand extended out to show a thumbs up.

Silje really wanted to bring up the thing with the princess, but Kalina knew so few people, she felt it'd be better not to interrupt her right now. There was time after, the princess wasn't going anywhere.

And if she tried, well, Kalina had already proven to be pretty good at busting knees!

I'll let you know once I know! (Posting today) :D

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

They said all currents led to Yves, but today, all roads seemed to lead to the mines. Upon realizing where the wires had led her, Fellwing instinctively looked to the skies in search of Garrock. Was he still on his way? Had he already entered? Used another entrance perhaps? The threads here looked undisturbed, their purpose of keeping anyone from passing through successful.

She could only hope they were meant to keep something from getting in — not from getting out. Moons, what if there truly were giant spiders in the mines?!

Fellwing dared a step closer, looking over to where she'd seen the ghosts of dragons past, casting their magic.

"Apologies, but I must enter," she whispered to them, knowing well they were too far in time and place to hear. Head bowed in reverence, the Seer turned to the overgrown magic, and once again called to the Moons.

ooc

Fellwing returns a friendship gem to Shieldwing and calls to the Void Moon with a 8. The magic is exceptionally powerful.

How are you all feeling about an update tonight? Ready, or would you like more time?

@wanderingwolf

I'll likely manage a post tomorrow, but I can set it before or after the update, depending on what people prefer! Unfortunate I missed this interaction chance due to timing, but I'm sure there'll be more to come.

P2e - Threshold of Knowledge

There's some unfortunate timing at play here, ha. I'll be gone for the rest of the week due to a convention, so won't be able to write until Monday. That does still give at least a few days for me to jump in after I'm back though! Just don't wait for me before then.

Planescape: Search for Tir na Og

I'm almost tempted to have Mariel be most concerned with the newest party member and to roll in insight into what, if anything she is up to. :D

@Abstract Proxy

Garnet would argue she's too small to be up to anything, nothing to see here at all!

That is to say, do it.
