TUW: The Outpost

[Waynan]

Raven Elk, after pocketing the triangular "key", willingly holds up the end of the line, but only after asking for one of Adi's light sticks, and following his instructions on how to manipulate way to make them work properly.

He continually gazes back to make sure no one is sneaking in behind them.

Day 261: The Room Awaits

Raven Elk, after pocketing the triangular "key", willingly holds up the end of the line, but only after asking for one of Adi's light sticks, and following his instructions on how to manipulate way to make them work properly.

He continually gazes back to make sure no one is sneaking in behind them.

GM: Try as he might, the triangular door key cannot be pried from its location. Perhaps it was a forethought to prevent it from being taken while the door is open. Illuminating the light stick that he receives from Adisakti, Raven Elk finds that it is basically instinctual, though he listens and follows the given instructions. All is as it should be outdoors. Nothing alerts Raven Elk. The room with the oddly glowing walls awaits.

[Sylvar B.]

Adi walks up to one of the glowing blue walls and feels for what type of way might be causing them to glow blue.

 

[Kwargrow]

With his baton casually propped on his shoulder Taylar strolls into the room and retrieves his light stone. He looks around the place and says, "You know what I would like to find in this room? A nice conversation."

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Maka enters the room, joining Taylar and Adi.

 

[Waynan]

Raven Elk, probably right after Vittero enters, stands by the door; but his curiosity still has him checking out the walls around the door. He uses Way while he inspects the wall; using it almost instinctively.

He replies to Taylar: "What is it you want to converse about? The weather? What might be happening back home right now? The fact that you still don't have a girlfriend?" This last he says while winking at Vittero, knowing the explosion of backtalk and epithets that were coming.

Day 261: The Room with the Glowing Walls

Adi walks up to one of the glowing blue walls and feels for what type of way might be causing them to glow blue.

GM: Adisakti walks across a very intricate floor design as he heads for one of the walls. The wall where the hall attaches is the only one not glowing. It stands to reason that the swirling blue light would be caused by the manipulation of electromagnetic Way, but this particular weave is currently far beyond his ability to analyze.

Vittero moves to another wall and begins to do the same thing, then steps back to see if he can make any sense of the floor design.

With his baton casually propped on his shoulder Taylar strolls into the room and retrieves his light stone. He looks around the place and says, "You know what I would like to find in this room? A nice conversation."

GM: The light of each wall moves, ever so slightly, as Taylar speaks, paling a bit in places the look like high clouds drifting across the sky.

Raven Elk, probably right after Vittero enters, stands by the door; but his curiosity still has him checking out the walls around the door. He analyzes the Way lines while he inspects the wall, almost instinctively.


He replies to Taylar: "What is it you want to converse about? The weather? What might be happening back home right now? The fact that you still don't have a girlfriend?" This last he says while winking at Vittero, knowing the explosion of backtalk and epithets that were coming.

GM: When Raven Elk mentions the word, weather, the far wall from the door takes on the image of a hazy sky obscuring the sun. The wall to the right changes dramatically to look like a storm brewing. The left wall does not change. At his third question, though the speech takes fractions of seconds, the left wall becomes the image of the piney woods that look like they could be on the windy coast. There is an unknown pattern of standing stones centered in the image. At the mention of the word, girlfriend, the forward wall portrays an image of a desert badlands with reddish sand. The right wall goes completely black, but there is more blackness within the black. IT is an image but absent of light.

Vittero cracks his knuckles. "Wow!"

[Kwargrow]

Taylar moves his baton down off his shoulder and watches the changing walls as he replies to Raven Elk. "I don't want to talk, I want to find a good fight. Since hoping for a worthy opponent has left me with only conversation, I'm thinking hoping for conversation will grant me a worthy opponent. And why are y'all so concerned with my love life? I'll take a wife when it's time. It would be unkind to make promises to some young girl and have her worrying about when or if I would come home."

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Maka watches intently, and then says, "What dangers lie North of here? What dangers lie to the East? What dangers lie to the West? What dangers lie to the South?"

Maka watches the four walls, to see if (as he suspects) the forward wall will display the answer to his North question, the rear wall the answer to his South question, and the right/left walls the answers to his East/West questions.

~Perhaps each wall has a specific purpose? If not the cardinal directions, perhaps the past, present, and future? But if so, what would the last wall represent? We should study this.~

Day 261: Dabbling in the Pool

Taylar moves his baton down off his shoulder and watches the changing walls as he replies to Raven Elk. "I don't want to talk, I want to find a good fight. ...."

GM: Disappointingly, nothing changes as Taylar speaks. The three separate images remain the same. In the tree scene, a pair of squirrels begin to chase one a another around a tree.

Maka watches intently, and then says, "What... North..?

GM: The image on the left wall changes but appears almost the same. Everyone notices that a pattern on the floor illuminates as well. The pattern displays once then extinguishes. The image on the wall looks almost the same as before. The trees are about the same, but there are no visible standing stones. The lay of the land inclines differently, too.

"What... East?

GM: The image of the ocean appears on the forward wall. A different pattern chases across the floor. Having never seen the ocean, there is no way for anyone to recognize where they might be seeing.

"What... West?

GM: The image upon the right wall become the image that was upon the left wall, even the two squirrels are still there. A differing pattern chases across the floor.

What... South?"

GM: The image on the left wall is replaced with an image of dense foliage, the likes of which none of the crew has ever seen. The trees have a great variety of coloration and larger leaves than anything before seen. A new pattern, once again, chases across the floor. As when the room was simply lighted, the wall with the entry hall never displays anything. It remains inert.
