They can't be seen from near the scrying pool - none of the place is flat. Hallways slope, much of the time.

Behind the screen: They have some of their own troubles right now, and no one (other than that psychotic elf) wanted to go into the lake, what with a Hydra in there. Or more to the point, some of them, like Siobhan, probably would have done, but she's been held back by internal politics. Also...

I'm going to let Team Caves Act first, as it wasn't much of a surprise to them. I'm a little concerned that I haven't heard from @Snarf Zagyg lately. Check in if you're out there, Snarf! We miss you! Everyone in Team Caves, please double-check that my "one-line" for you is up to date. You're...

TEAM CAVES Encounter: Scrying Vault Time: ~18:15 on 4 Tarsakh 1483DR Begin Round One

Team Caves Bardaby, "the Beast" Combs was busy. Too busy to always keep track of every face that ever went through his company over the years. He'd sent so many young men to their deaths on various campaigns that he was hardened to it, with no desire to learn each face or name. Not that he had...

Team Caves Now in the Vaults The group passed the northwest archway, where a long hall led off into darkness in the east. The hall was lined with four-armed terracotta warrior statues - at least a dozen - before it widened into a dark chamber. They ignored it, heeding Valendra's warning, and...

@VLAD the Destroyer & @Steve Gorak - I think I may have put the wrong one of you in the water. Are either of you under the water with Bjorn? I've forgotten and my map shows Aywin, which seems wrong to me. Or maybe I'm wrong about that...

Apparently I don't even remember it happening!

Is it? You might be right, but frankly, the same goes for them in all ways: They have had money troubles lately and are distributed by PRH. I honestly can't keep track of how often Licenses switch between them. Even (creator owned) Usagi Yojimbo left Dark Horse for IDW and then came back to DH...

I like her, but I don't think there's any reason to have her in the new DCU. Mamoa is playing Lobo simply because it is the role he was born to play. Aquaman was not.

Team Caves When the group finally left the dig-site cavern and moved eastward down the steep slope into the "grotto" with its petrified Treants, Ironthorn stood in front of his dead "father-uncles" and bowed his leafy head. Moving on, the group descended another steep slope, past a pool of...

I sell comics for a living and I'd say there's been... a very little mention of it. Enough to know it exists, but they're not exactly shouting it from the rooftops. I think that's down to it being by IDW, who has their own money issues, and Penguin Random House (their distributor) is, as far as...

Let's see... 1e: Level 3. Didn't play 1e for long. 2e: Level 16 legitimately, something like 22 after playing with a monty haul DM. 3e: Like Level 7? I mostly DMed, and even so, I didn't like the edition above that Level. 4e: Two campaigns that went through the full 1 to 30. 5e: Level 12. All...

That is what I mean by "turned it off". Mage Hand isn't strong enough to break the thing, but it's manually disabled, yes. You have a basic rudimentary understanding of how it works (which is better than most under Blackpeak) but still, it was simply guesswork.

You piled bodies inside it and "turned it off". What that means exactly is unclear, but seems likely that it can't be used remotely.

Oh, and @Fenris-77 regarding Little Paradise = Shrimp Heaven... I think subconsciously I must have got it, but it never came to the fore. Because I kept reading your description of her over and over thinking, "There's an ingredient here, but I can't tell what it is!" I think, had you not used...

I'd like to compete again. All the good entries, but particularly @Fenris-77's last couple of entries made something click for me that I'd like to try and see how I do. Hopefully I'll remember it next year (and notice the thread in time to sign up before the spots fill!) But I enjoyed my first...
