Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Shit...well, I guess I'll get started on going up the mountain. Hopefully there's a path to the top that's not too steep, climbing would be scary.

The mix of white and orange in the azure sky was like a beautiful painting on a canvas. MracY pretended to concede to the will of the two selfish individuals sitting before him. He ambled away quietly, seemingly content, before turning around to question them once more. "Do you know anything unusual or interesting about this place?", he candidly inquires. They start to become agitated towards MracY and grudgingly reply, "we don't know anything strange or out of the ordinary, now leave us alone." MracY finally agrees to leave the vicinity, and he confidently heads toward the Ferris Wheel. Unfortunately, the Ferris Wheel is too far to reach in one day, so MracY will have to hold off riding the attraction until tomorrow.

The radiant sun still shined above with its iridescent ray of light. Guest15937 revives on the left foot of the stone golem with his newly acquired rope in hand. Guest decides to climb on top of the golem's left toe in order to tie the rope around it and utilize it as a vantage point. Guest also observes his surroundings for any points of interest, but he does not find anything that pops out.

gold stinger jumps into the unfathomably deep chasm feet-first. The sky of robin egg blue escapes his field of vision as he plummets down the hole. gold keeps dropping into the deep abyss, falling, sinking until he eventually chokes to death...

gold stinger has died.

gold wakes up with a start. He just had the most terrifying dream imaginable, and he shudders warily in protest. The blue sky hovers before him, staring back in an innocent gaze. The verdant grass lays all around him, almost like it's lazing upon the soil. He feels like he's lost part of his own identity. As gold checks his pockets, he realizes that all the items he brought with him vanished while he was asleep.

DarkManticoreX2 apparates back to the first floor of the apartment with his new sapphire. The wooden walls and floors stand firmly in place, and the doors to rooms 101 through 104 appear before him. DarkManticore is so excited from obtaining his first gemstone that he lovingly strokes it while dubbing the stone, 'his precious'. Dark, still in hobbit-mode, climbs up the stairwell to the second floor while dubiously slouching his back forwards. When he arrives, he is met with four additional doors, much like the first floor. In contrast, though, each door has a completely unique designs to the designs of Floor 1. In a sequence, door 201 is in the leftmost spot, followed by 202, then 203, and lastly door 204. Each apartment door has a golden plaque above them, labeling which door is which. Upon closer inspection, door 201 has maple syrup doused on the front that covers the old, wooden door made of oak. A sepia-colored maple leaf design is inscribed on the upper-middle of the door. The door to room 202 is actually nonexistent and has a live goblin well-versed in English in its place, sitting behind a toll booth. The price to enter is 3 golden chestnuts, which serve as money in this game. Door 203 is made of austere fiberglass, which is colored brown. In the middle of the door, a blank treasure map is etched onto the center with a red "x" in the middle. Lastly, door 204 is made of thick, white paper with splotches of all kinds of colors painted on the entirety of the door. Where does DarkManticore choose to explore?

Unfortunately, Omega cannot find any trails on the mountain where he can hike on foot, so Omeganitros reluctantly attempts to climb the steep mountain. Luckily, there are plenty of footholds and ledges in his path, so he does not lose his footing. By the end of the day, Omeganitros scales about one-third of the mountain.

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

I would like to proceed in jabbing out my eyeballs with my 2 thumbs and purposely choke to death on them as I'm eating them for being incorrect.

head east and pickup tall grass along the way.

[Omeganitros]

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

I guess it'd be too much to ask for an easier way...whoever's up there must have climbed this too though, so it's likely possible. I continue upwards the next day.

The sun shined down peacefully with all its brilliant hues. A pleasant aroma lingered in the air, and the lush grass glistened from the morning dew. gold stinger considers poking out his eyeballs and eating them to feed his inscrutable desire for reprisal. He still holds a grudge against himself for making a decision which led to his demise. However, he decides to let bygones be bygones and proceed valiantly. The nascent young explorer decides to traverse eastward, although he does not cross into new terrain. Along the way, gold reclaims the tall grass he recently lost.

Omeganitros recovers from his uncomfortable rest and continues to scale the rocky mountain. The sun brightly shines before him, and the peak of the mountain steadily approaches. Omega is almost able to see the summit!

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

head east grab dirt examine dirt (without taste-testing it this time)

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Oops, I forgot to mention that you reclaimed the tall grass.

[Omeganitros]

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Time to power through! I swear if there's no one at the top making the sound I'll do some shouting myself!

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Geez drizz, throw me a bone for once...

Climb down and head towards the golem's torso while looking for interesting things.

Sorry, but I don't like assuming players' actions when they don't post anything.

*edit* Unless you meant for me to private message you about the game.

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

He means he hasn't gotten any interesting events so far.

I'm still heading towards the ferris wheel to carry out my plan, by the way.

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

I mean, the only things that have happened to me so far is getting distracted by insignificant rabbits and dying. Be nice to me for once!

You don't know the half of it... /hint

[DarkManticoreX2]

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

I think I know what guest is supposed to do...

Anyway.


Check to make sure all the doors open normally without entering any of them.

Inspect the new room for anything special. Loose floorboards/alcoves behind wall hangings.

Attempt to size up the Goblin. (what's he wearing/equipped with, could I take him in a fight)

Mutter to myself in the draconic language while doing all of this.

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Did this die?

I was having fun.
