You're cool @AlexSushiDog. Lost moved for you. For future reference, if you warn me/another player they can control their character for you.

Now it's @ReisePiecey's turn to be in the chopping block notifier. One more turn of inactivity and I'll be clearing my notifications. By which I mean you. From existence.

Also I'm told @fortis is away for like more than a week. If someone can grab their character, it'll be gr8. Otherwise the falcon will end up like in Boccaccio.


Spoiler! :
@lostthought and @Tuesday you move. Jiu smiles and nods as you leave.

@Meandbooks you collect Biscuit's shot arrows. There are now 2 berries in your inventory.

@AlexSushiDog you strike the elk. Its nostrils flare, anger and betrayal in its eyes.

@fortis you dive bomb Goblin 4, but miss.

@queerelves, you smash your staff into Goblin 2's neck with enough force to send it flying.

@BiscuitsBatchAvoy, you miss Goblin 3. There is now one less arrow in your quiver.

@SpiritedWolfe, you snap off a tree branch. However, it is quite heavy. You must grip it with two hands to use it, but you are encumbered regardless.

Goblin 4 has seen enough and it can't even. It runs for it.

@Lumi you provoke Goblin 3.

@Morrigan you attack Goblin 3 and miss.

Goblin 3 attacks @Lumi, but Lumi parries and reposts. His cleaving strike decapitates Goblin 3.

Goblin 1 attacks Lumi and misses, as does Lumi's counter.

The dead goblins drop their weapons and one small pouch each.

Last turn of night. Horaay! The adventurers have made it out alive. Also, new players~ everyone welcome @Kelpies and @TheCatchphrase.

Spoiler! :
@Kelpies, you spawn with a staff. Your talent is:

Talent 1

Wisdom of the Great Oak -- once per turn cycle, you can use your Charisma to communicate with a tree. It will answer any question you ask it.

@TheCatchphrase, you spawn. Your talents are:

Talent 1

Alchemy: You are skilled in this form of pseudoscience. You know the Schemes for the Potion of Exploding and the Potion of Healing. You also know the Scheme for the Chemist’s Lab.

Talent 2

Jetpack: You’ve built a machine that can propel you in a direction at increased speed for a turn. You can use it for two turns consecutively, but then it overcharges and requires repairs.

@Auxiira you step forward purposefully, faster than any other in the party, and run the goblin through with your spear. It drops its weapon and a pouch.

@BiscuitsBatchAvoy, you collect one of the pouches dropped by the goblins. It contains 5 gold pieces.

@Tuesday and @lostthought, you continue to move westwards.

@AlexSushiDog, the elk, enraged, scratches you with its horns, but you reply swiftly and deliver the killing blow.

@Meandbooks, you climb down the tree.

@SpiritedWolfe, you drop the branch.

@ReisePiecey, you also move westwards.

@queerelves you do nothing. Everyone is sad.

@fortis you don't find any rocks, so you sit in a tree branch.

@Morrigan and @Lumi the goblin is already dead by the time you act, so you sit there.
