The group stood by in the dimness and waited. It was time to see what was going to happen. They had carefully chosen everything they needed to. Now they just had to watch it play out...
In the darkness came a sudden flash of light. Katy looked on as a beam of yellow light rose in front of her. She tried to move forward but it blocked her passage, sending her reeling backwards. She lay on the floor, eyes closed as another beam rose up behind her. And another to her right. There was only one point of escape remaining. She took a step to her left, raising herself off the ground carefully and stumbled into another glowing yellow beam.
Laying on the floor despondently, she looked around to the rest of the group for support. There wasn't much they could do. Kristoff shrugged.
"It won't hurt much. Just hang in there."
Katy nodded. It would all be over in a second and they'd go back about their business. She looked up as something moved down from the ceiling. Diving out of the way suddenly, she just managed to dodge something screeching from above as it swooped down to where she stood. The rest of the group backed away carefully. Airlea noticed a yellow glow rise up behind her as she did. Soon she was trapped in place too.
Another black swooping thing came hurtling down from above, this one caught Katy on the side of the face. Red trickled down and splashed against the floor as she wiped her cheek.
"Hang in there!" Said Ajax, finding his voice. As he did, a yellow barrier rose in front of him too. He looked over to see another rise around Andrael who was sat observing, calmly.
There was a screech as something huge and monstrous detached from the wall and cannoned into Katy's stomach. She rolled backwards into the barrier which in turn caused her more pain. She lay on the floor whimpering. Balagor snarled and tried to dash over but a barrier rose around him too.
She looked up one last time to see a monstrosity open its jaws. A blast of energy careened through the air and took her in the chest. It came right out the other side.
Katy fell forward slowly and hit the ground with a thud. Around where she lay, red pooled everywhere. There was a hole right through her. The rest watched on mournfully as the beasts fled the area, leaving them alone. Barriers rose up around Brittany, Dennis and Helm. Nobody was paying them much attention.
More rose up around Mikhail, Hobert and Kristoff. Another around Maria who sat there dejectedly and another around Pai Chan. Finally Peter watched as a barrier rose around him, leaving Sophia standing open in the room. She waited in silence until the barriers finally departed.
Then she walked over to Katy's body and carefully flipped her over. Her eyes were glazed over as she looked up at the dim air. The room smelled of blood and death.
It is now Phase 37. Phase 37 will end in roughly 24 hour from now.

The group felt something shake up above. There was a sensation of impending doom around them. It was time to move on.
You must exit in the next 24 hours or you will be killed. |
|
| KATY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :sad: |
|
Is it safe? West is untrapped. |
|
| I thought we wanted to get to the tower. |

I brought up the tower before because Airlea had mentioned a balcony of its, but I don't know where we're trying to go right now. |

|
May the gods look after you Katy. I will see to it the shades, bear and Willis have paid for the lives they are taking.
As for direction, it be wise we check south. The tower is south of us is it not? |
|
Hopefully in the future we do not take such unnecessary risks.
Ideally the reward is worth it. |
|
|
| Hopefully in the future we do not take such unnecessary risks. |
Definitely :(
|
|
Oh I hope this just hasn't updated yet. I will be sick if she died for absolutely no reason at all.
|
|
| Hmm weird perhaps someone put you last and it sabotaged the whole system |
|
| I just re-read what the shades said and it's the last person to get trapped that gets the prize. Sophia never got trapped. Peter was the last one trapped. He should have it. |
|
| O_O I just checked and I have nothing. My last update in my Inventory is about obtaining the Rifle. I will keep you all posted, though. |

Maybe it's on the floor... or given to Katy's inventory, or something

Map - *with disclaimer* I have been guessing as to where the rooms post 45441/b shift fit into the northern part of the map. I had them all 2 spaces further west, but when we had the west exit in the last room it was obvious that didn't work. By shifting it all 2 east, several of the "?" rooms do line up with unknown rooms from previous mapped areas to the south.
(in other words, I'm trying but can't promise how exact this is until we meet up with a known section of map)
 |
|
| Also, because of the room description for the past version of 1218, and the bridge, I'm wondering if that small chunk of map where we boarded the boat somehow fits into that space NE of where I marked the balcony. |

I've tried to mark the exits, most should be there I think? |
|
| Oh gotcha, those are the rooms with ?'s on them? |
|
| Yes, showing there is an unknown room that direction. I'm sure I may have missed some though so if you or anyone else sees anything that needs edited, lmk. |
|
| I have the things! Very interesting! A key and a portable portal. |
|
| Place on piece anywhere in the maze, then the next somewhere else. It then creates an exit between the rooms. |
|
| Kristoff, in answer to one of your questions about rooms from before, I had some time to sort through some things and I have scanned 29 separate rooms. Of those we have visited 3 of them. That is past and future combined, so some numbers may have been visited in one time period but scanned in the other. Between past/future/visited/scanned my mind is often overwhelmed keeping track of numbers. I hope you can understand why I didn't have an immediate answer for that one. |

This could be extremely useful for the end game if we require to transport to the tower quickly. |
|
Very cool! Perhaps if we find important rooms we can mark them with the insta-portal. Or we could put a portal on each side of the map so we can easily travel from east-side to west-side (or north-south, whatev)...
or north eat to south west, etc |
|
| That was exactly what I was thinking. We may want to head there now and place one. |

| Or we could place on near Willis' tower, but I think I like the idea of putting them on opposite sides of the Labyrinth. |
|
| A concern could be if we place it on Willis' tower if an evil person needs to get there quick... |
|
|
Maybe it's on the floor... or given to Katy's inventory, or something

Katy :(
I had an inkling something like this might happen.
The prize is good I guess but hardly seems a fair trade. |

I received no update, but it looks like Sophia did wind up obtaining the item. :) |
I thiink she means Katy's notebook. |
|
| That's what I was wondering. I also posted to pick up items, but didn't receive anything, including the notebook. Just bringing it up. Either it hasn't been updated yet or someone else may have claimed it first. |

| You grabbed it in your journal? |
|
RIP Katy, you where brave soul.
I think we should continue west if we are so close to north-western side of map, finish checking whats there. |
|
*Makes a libation for Katy by pouring wine on the ground*
Has Kristoff checked any exits? Didn't see the end of last phase. |
|
| West is free, waiting on South. |
|
| This fucking sucks, Katy was good and awesome person :( :( :( |
|
Oh no I didn't even realize Katy had the notebook, I was just checking the the item but Sophia got it. I never got an update after I looted her, so I assume someone got it before me unless it hasn't been updated yet. D:
Airlea, when did you go for it? |
|
| It was only 5-10 minutes before you posted. I'll update here if I get it obviously, but wonder if someone already has it or if it's not been updated yet. |
|
##Exit: West
I'll unexit if the plan changes. |
|
| Oh alright! Hopefully it hasn't been updated yet or the person who got it simply hasn't seen it yet. :) |
|
|
##Exit: West
I'll unexit if the plan changes. |
##Follow: Balagor
Assume the position. :D :D |
|
##Follow: Balagor
I should be around later, but feel better following you for now just in case. :) |
|
##Follow: Balagor
The portal is definitely useful, but not worth the death of Katy.
I do agree it is not wise to give enemies direct access to Willis' tower, but perhaps place them on two different sides of the labyrinth. I wonder if we could use it to travel through time. |

| I was more thinking place one near the tower and use the other once we have everything we need but that could still be bad if it falls into the wrong hands |
|
| Also I'll be passing things off later when I get home |
|
|

Good idea! So place one end near the tower and then hold onto the other one until we get everything? Then place it and walk into it, directly to the tower?? |
|
Remember...Willis said anyone who does not post an exit action will be killed.
So...I assume following is hardly useful here... |
|
| Well I think following counts as an exit action |
|
|

It says you must exit. I took that to be in reference to the discussion of staying here and having Dennis fly up. I don't believe the rules have changed for following and exiting or we may lose some people this phase.
|
|
I just think that if you decide to stay in this room you'll be killed basically.
I don't think that you must post an exit action.
However I understand your concern Buddy.
Maybe people should post an Exit action instead of follow action just to be sure?
Being careful shouldn't hurt. |
|
| Forgot to quote, this answer was response to Hobert. |
|
I will be on by deadline so if things change, feel free to repost exit actions in another direction. :) |
|
| Inventory update, I have the notebook. So you can add it to the discussion of who should get what this phase I guess. |

Hobert mentioned the reference about the dog last phase. I just went back to reread it, had missed it before. It says it's making short work of their forces. Do you think it means the shades? I don't gather that it's referring to the other group based on what was said. What's everyone else think?
Asking because when I scanned the Cerby room it referred to what may have been shades on the floors of his room. |

| Also wanted to mention for those keeping track of the shuttle paint colors, there is a green ring around the gate in Cerby's house. I don't know if he regularly goes back there or not, but wanted you guys to be aware. |

I thought he was referring to the shades. The other group isn't a part of his forces. |

Key -> Maria
Teleporters -> Brittany
Any objections? Also I think the teleporters can be split up. They take up 2 inventory slots. |

I'd consider splitting them then probably.
Maybe Kristoff could keep the other since it's not looking like his teleporting staff will ever return.
|
|
Since I seem to be on a roll with questions today, does everyone have an item now?
And has anyone seen Pai Chan lately? If she's around, it may be good if she could pass the walkie to someone. I have lost track of who has them between Pai, Dennis, and General. |

God damn it Pai!

Ok enough messing around.
I need to get my map in SHAPE.
I have been incredibly busy as of late and have let it fall to the wayside.
A lot of things I've been keeping track of I have not been as of late to be honest.
Airlea your map.
The last 2 rooms we've been in... are you sure of their shape?
I forgot to make note of them but I have doubts this room is a weird gamma symbol. |
|
Splitting up the portals is actually a pretty good idea especially if we get separated somehow.
Maybe as a last resort re-connector for the group if we ever split into 2 smaller groups.
I doubt we would do that but if we did we have an easy way to undo it now. |
|
| I wonder if I'm the first person to have a full pack... this is getting heavy. |

Well I've held a walking talker, and I have the crystal now.
That's 5 items but obviously I didn't hold them all at the same time.
I gave Sophia my key, Peter the medikit and the explosive was stolen. |

Give me a few minutes and I'll get the descriptions for you. Which rooms do you need? |
|
| *Do you only need the last two? As in this one and the one previous? |
|
1218 - described as twice the width of a standard room. Northern exit was on the eastern side and there was also an exit west.
5401 - funny shaped room. Twice the width of a standard room, but on western half it curved and was twice the length as well. Exit opposite this one to the west, and also one to the far south. |
|
| Those portals sum up our best strategy nicely. Alone, they are useless. Nothing will get accomplished. But together, they hold great power. Like all of us. |

Thanks. Hopefully I can get this map posted up by the end of the phase.
With all the walls and exits and locked doors marked. |
|
| There aren't any items around us! |

Oh well I think items are a double edged sword at this point. |

| I just got the note... I thought we had lost it? |
I'm confused on that one too. There was talk that it may have been remade, but I never saw that happen. And now the notebook still shows the correct # of pages remaining that it wasn't remade. |
|
| I promise I didn't grab it off dennis. |
|
| Maybe someone looted it from Dennis (if he got it) and passed it on? |
|
| I can't remember if Dennis told us he'd gotten it. |

| I can't remember if Dennis told us he'd gotten it. |
I thought he said it was gone, because I seem to remember him or someone thinking it had just been dropped in the room when he died. |

I bet someone looted him by posting the action in the personal journal. |

I passed walkie to Dennis.
I also got note from someone, noted information down and passed it to Hobert. |

| If it's ok with everyone, I'll make an updated note of room details and then pass the notebook to the General. |

| I originally passed the note to Katy, but it was between phase change and now she is dead. I then posted to pass it to Kristoff, but I don't know which action counted. So I'm not sure where it went. |

Ahh this explains it! |

He said it couldn't be dropped. He never said it couldn't be passed, but that he was unwilling to pass it and risk someone else's life. |

Thanks for explaining. Still hate that he has it, but hopefully Sophia's idea works out. That would be sort of perfect. |
|
| (Regarding the note, the hosts just forgot to pass it, I think. It's not a big deal!) |
|
| I really think there is more to it than just a curse. Which kinda scares me, that we might need it and have to pick it back up if Ajax dies (knock on wood) |

I volunteered to take it before. If I have to, I'll honor that. |

The group readied themselves. It was time to move on.
Phase 37 will end in about an hour's time. Anybody who has not yet posted an exit action may do so. No other actions can be used, and no existing exit actions can be changed. |
