(OOC) Fitz's Folly (ToA PBP)

Myrral is already doing it

Ussal is busy crawling his metallic a$$ out of there.

Double post

We have been searching quite a bit but without finding anything. Chrysagon was ready to leave but then Myrral seem to be successful (hopefully!?!). Go Myrral!

Okay gang, I'm gonna get my games moving again. Sorry about the long delay, life's been rough but it's starting to look up (we'll see). Either way, I want to get moving again.

I've got one question here before I can move on: Does anyone really believe that we have enough rope to tie up six different corpses (who are between 20 and 80 feet apart)? I was under the impression that the rope bridge across the "magnet statue" room is still there. I mean, you can cannibalize it, sure, but you'd probably have to cut some of your rope into twenty-foot lengths. I mostly play pretty loosely with these things, but I'm asking in this case because we just used a whole lotta rope, and now we want to use a whole lot more. It can happen, for sure, but I'm not sure I can see it without the consequences of winding up with "no more bridge" and "shorter lengths of ropes" (which may come up in the future).

I welcome dissent! If you don't agree, let me know.

Hurray and welcome back! I hope everyone has had a good couple of weeks. (Apart form a tree hitting our house and one person catching covid, I was fine.)



Miss Imogen has been carrying the rope in her explorer's pack, and would happily have contributed it to any cause along the way, but I don't think she's been asked to do so. I am happy to put it to a cause now, and then for it not to be accessible after this. She has expressed her doubts about the checking-every-room approach, but is following as she can with an arrow nocked.

(also happy to be told, Nah, you used that rope long ago, no way she would have kept it so long.)

I don't tend to audit things very often, but as we just discussed rope a few posts back (#1804 & 1805) when it came to making it safe to cross the "magnet" room, I figured it should probably come up again when it comes to tying up six different corpses. Here's the room again:



Corpses are in each of the thrones. Gotta have six different ropes.

Well, once everyone is across the bridge, it can be dismantled and the rope retrieved. But yeah, six distinct uses of rope is going to tap us out, and it's likely we'll need it later on. Assuming each of us has the standard 50' of rope, we could tie the corpses up now as we search the room, but take them back before we leave. But I wouldn't want to leave our rope here.

Why tie them at all?

If they activate while we're searching they will activate while you're binding them (you have to enter to room either way).
