(OOC) Fitz's Folly (ToA PBP)

[TaranTheWanderer]

On a side note:

The last time the group dealt with one of these trickster rooms, there was a skeleton head running around. There's been a few. The Story keeper undead guy said 'the skeletons are keys'

Each skelly had a different shaped head...I think there was a 5 sided and a 6 sided and an 8 sided? Does anyone, off hand, know which ones we've seen so far? Did we ever manage to catch one? Was there a key inside? If so, who has it?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

This is some good line of thinking. I will add that the weird-headed skeletons have been encountered a number of times - and not always in a "tomb"-room. But if they are "keys" we have not seen a "door".

It's one of the many drawbacks of PBP. It takes so long that after awhile, no one remembers anything. Including the DM!

I don't know who has what when it comes to McGuffins or even magic items for that matter! I guess I should take better notes, so that I don't have to go back and look, which can be a real time-sink. Any answers that anyone has are welcome.

I know for sure that Chrysagon has one Skeleton key - the pentagon key. I specifically made a note about it. We also recover a second key shortly after but I am unsure who took it.

The "Sticks" recovered a triangular key too (post 3021). It does not say who took it so I am "sure" that Chrysagon must have taken it!
The pentagon key was recovered in post 3018.
In post 2664, Whithers said: "Bargaining. How mercenary." the undead scribe said in a disappointed rasp, "Very well. A useful fact: The skeletons are keys."

 

[Prickly Pear]

OOC: IIRC you saw one with 8-sides at some point. So 4, 5, & 8, and now...6

Chrysagon indicated to continue downward, and the group moved forward. Weed squeaked as they approached the corner to the west-leading hallway and held up a leafy hand for the others to be quiet. Imogen and Weed peeked around the corner and found that there was another skeleton nearby, this one with a hexagonal head.

Post 3006 has some useful info too.

Post 3006 has some useful info too.

Up to, potentially, 8 keys if 8 is the highest. How many Spirit gods are there?

I even tagged you in it. Qawaaha advised we wait before going too far into the room to see if the backpack owned by the Thayan Wizard had any info on it.

Fritz even hinted that the Thayans might know more.

Yeah, I saw the post. Chrysagon could not be bothered waiting... .
But you are right, I forgot to answer your question.

We've seen 3 or 4 headed one running from us at the entrance.

Ok. I was just hoping to check it because the pbp makes us forget we have it
