THE OotS Thread, Part V

[Crazedwraith]

edit: oops, wrong thread

how about that d&D huh?

[Crazedwraith]

This is the right thread this time.

1267 is up

I'm loving what MitD is trying to pull here.

Given BlackWing at the end there I assume we're about to jump back to the order.

[Crazedwraith]

Double post, 1268 is up

[Rogue 9]

1269 is up. Roy overplanning, as usual.

[Crazedwraith]

And confirmation that we actually saw a certain character way back in book 1.

1271 is up

When ever we hit a slow bit I remind myself it'll work fine when it's in the book.

[Crazedwraith]

1272 is up

[Rogue 9]

1273 is up.

[LadyTevar]

1273 is up.

Very much just a "Here's the situation so far" catch-up.

[Crazedwraith]

I do love the self-deprecating combo of the final line and the title.

on other forums I've seen a theory which has picked up a lot of following from this strip that.. Spoiler

Julia isn't Julia but someone else in disguise.

On the surface at least.

[Crazedwraith]

1274 is up

Spoiler theory I put last time is seeming more and more likely.

Spoiler

That's Eugene in disguise for some reason isn't it?

Spoiler

I was thinking Sabine, but you're idea probably fits better.

[Ralin]

Why are we doing spoiler tags for speculation like this is the Giant in the Playground forums?

[Rogue 9]

1275 is up.

[LadyTevar]

The Modron is making their job much easier.

[Bedlam]

I wonder how many they'll clear before they realize that there's something strange about the set up? The Modron may already know the teleport trick but it probably won't tell them unless they ask.

[Raesene]

1276 is up.

[Crazedwraith]

So people's speculations were on the mark.

[LadyTevar]

Yep. Whomever first suggested it was dead on the mark.

1277 is up

Wherein we find out how Kraagor's dungeon works and how Redcloak's current plan will work too. They are back in 'need to act now' territory.

Have to admit it was a very clever way to work the dungeon, and one I'd not thought about. If Redcloak hadn't gotten smart, they'd never have found the dungeon, because of MitD's little trick.

[Solauren]

Close to how I would have done it. I'd have them in a specific order you have to do them, with clues to figure out that order.
The final order before the final dungeon is also a speed run.

Final dungeon is magic-dead, and full of psionic creatures who's powers are unaffected.

The goal is to defend the gates. So work them to death and then annoy them to the point they rage-quit
