Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

Ohhhhhhhhhh, and along those same lines, don't they need three stones to travel nowhere, or something like that? I wonder if the three stones tried to open the portal, hence the attraction to the Way. But it doesn't quite work in Het Branoi, since it's all planarly mucked up.

So, are we then to assume that the Eye of Moriel in Het Branoi is the red one? Or is this just a chromatic coincidence? Is it possible that the voice of the Chaos was actually the voice of the Eye of Moriel?

When we first saw the door into Het Brannoi back on pages 20 and 21, it was first glowing with a strong red light. The next morning when we actually entered, the doorway's light had turned to blue.

Chromatic coincidence, by butt. It's Sagiro; all this stuff ties together, but you can't figure out how until it's too late.

Actually, IIRC, the doorway was green. I believe that Dranko said "Green means go." It could be that the colors of the doorway lead into where the PCs would have ended up, since when they walked into the green doorway they ended up in a nice pastoral land with trees.
 


Hammerhead is correct. I am flattered by (and, let's face it, encourage) Piratecat's belief that every detail of my game is a lovingly handcrafted puzzle-piece that fits seamlessly into an incredibly complex puzzle. But while I do my share of foreshadowing and long-term planning, I'm also like a runaway puzzle-piece factory that continuously churns out pieces, some of which can be later made to appear to fit together as if by pre-planned design.

In this case, the changing colors of the door into Het Branoi had nothing to do with any specific Eye of Moirel, and instead, as Hammerhead notes, reflected the strongest colors of the Slice on the other side. (Peek behind the curtain: had they gone in when it was red, they would have found themselves in a Mars-like Slice, albeit with more oxygen. Had they gone in while it was blue, they would have landed on a tiny deserted island in the middle of an ocean.) In hindsight, reading the speculation on this thread, I missed a cool foreshadowing opportunity there.

At this point in the story, the Company has been assuming that the Eye in Het Branoi was blue, since that's the color of all the Ways once you get inside.

Well, in the absence of further, as yet unrevealed information to the contrary, I'll stand by my analysis. After all, there may be many examples of colored things in Het Branoi, but so far only one of them has exploded out of control when combined with two Eyes of Moriel...
 

Hey there.

I'm sorry to report that there is no new Story Hour update, and I can't make any promises about the next one -- you see, it seems that the human population of my household has just increased by 50%!

Elanor Joyce Hart was born at 1:30 A.M. on Tuesday, February 15. She weighed in at birth at 7 lbs 6 oz., was 19" long, and in her father's humble and unbiased estimation, is the cutest creature on the planet. You can see three early pictures of her at:

In the long term, I don't plan to cease either my campaign or the telling of it, but in the short term, I'm going to stare at my (gulp) daughter while she sleeps. Awwwwww.....

The following smileys, in no particular order, apply:

:) :cool: :confused: :D

Congratulations!!!

Well your life just changed in a way almost as drastic as the eyes of Moriel going nowhere - only much much more pleasant of a change.

She's beautiful!

Love the name.
