Dr Jackal Posted April 17 Clone Share Posted April 17 If the twist I chose doesn't work, I also like the idea of the storm hitting suddenly and immediately. Actually, I maybe like that twist better than the one I proposed in the game thread. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxanthymir Posted April 17 Clone Share Posted April 17 For the action, if still possible, go try to find the Bug Butchers at the neighboring district, and ask them for help solving Tolliver's affliction.

And given the memorial that was being desecrated, the storm's approach is more than enough to spook the preacher, so it actually dovetails nicely together. :D Edited April 19 by Morkskittar (see edit history) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might very well be, but I don't see it. :S I had a bit of a site hiccup when I tried to post it. Or I may have mixed up a name. What'd I do? :P I also too love the whisper mechanic. You are also, of course, always free to simply use any (relevant) inventory item you have to try and improve your chances, but not in as twisty a manner as whispers.

When I first looked at your last post it was cut off just after the Park section. When I looked at it six hours later it was all there.

Morkskittar Posted April 27 Author Clone Share Posted April 27 I wonder if it may have been that I had half of it drafted, then had to wander off for a few hours (so my computer went to sleep with the half-written post up), and then finished it when I got back; maybe it posted the half-done version when the computer napped? Glad it all seems to be working now! Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morkskittar Posted May 9 Author Clone Share Posted May 9 Three quarters done with your update but I need sleep, so intend to finish it up in the morning.

Morkskittar Posted May 9 Author Clone Share Posted May 9 I only now have realized I made an unintentional pun. Atus may be a little bit shocked. :P Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkskittar Posted May 11 Author Clone Share Posted May 11 (edited) The clues provided to Atus are designed to be open-ended enough that you can interpret them as you will and make the story as you go (I will not impose any particular backstory). I have some thoughts, but nothing set in stone. ;) Each one of you also has, or will shortly have, either a tool that can be used to continue pursuing the Bloom (or learn more about it) or a narrative hook that may be related somehow. A fleshy parasitic dahlia bulb/tuber used by Tyrant's Bloom cultists [the Tyrant's Bloom is, notably, also said to be a dahlia] (Tharr), storm riddles (Atus), possibly a chart to the Bloom's last appearance (Tolliver), and a new friend who may know more than he appears (Park). Any one of these, or multiple in combination, can lead you forward.

Moveslikejagger Posted May 11 Clone Share Posted May 11 Got it. I felt doing the conversation in song allowed more freedom and creativity in your response. The reason Atus immediately scorched the words into the boards... because I do wonder who was at the top of the tower. The guard mentioned 'supplicants'. Which I interpret as Atus not being the only Tempest who wanted to commune with Dajel. So it makes me wonder, did the other supplicants see Atus get picked up by the storm? Did they see/hear/feel/sense in some way what happened? Will they come looking? Do they feel cheated, curious etc? Just trying to enable the emerging plot hooks as much as I can.
