Between The Spaces We Know (ooc and questions Vlll)

[OGRE MAGE]

Okay, thanks.

I think I will save the spell then, you know, in case things go south (er).

[Scott308]

Or they're fruit bats!

"Fruit bats are tropical!"

Yeah, but insectivores should be hibernating now. They are going to have a hard time finding food in the middle of winter, so the group is likely to be decimated by starvation.

[Inferno]

Good point. Maybe they're not insectivores. Maybe they're vampire bats. In the vicinity of, and friendly toward, wolves! Hmm.

Btw, investigating your suggestion, I just discovered that fruit bats are also called flying foxes, and are much larger than other bats. You learn something new every day.

Belated Happy Friday the 13th!

[Inferno]

Sorry, Raven and Socratic. That's three and a half days. Going to move it forward.

[Urson]

Leeeeroyyy Jennnkinnns!

[OGRE MAGE]

It's hard to tell from the map, but I believe that is an opening in the wall behind V10, correct?

I thought there was mention in the text somewhere that the passage continued beyond this room.

Hi OM. That darker area of wall behind V10 is a closed door.

[Inferno]

Sorry, Scott and Socratic. Three and a half days. Moving it along.

[Scott308]

Good point. Maybe they're not insectivores. Maybe they're vampire bats. In the vicinity of, and friendly toward, wolves! Hmm.

Vampire bats are tropical, being found only in Central and South America. In our world, anyway. Obviously, in a fantasy world where there are elves and werewolves (and many other things), the laws of nature established here need not always apply.

[Inferno]

True! And the gothic horror tradition has vampire bats indigenous to the Carpathian Mountains of Dracula's homeland.

[Inferno]

was there any airflow in the cave? perhaps we can smoke them out

There is some kind of airflow in the ghastly kitchen of horrors, venting the smoke from the cooking fire.

[Inferno]

They quietly retreat to confer upon the unholy acts they will soon commit in the name of all that is holy.

Hey everyone. I hope you're well. We're at three and a half days.

I'll extend the turn to allow for some IC roleplaying opportunities as we await consensus on the plan forward.

I think I've answered all your questions. If you have any more, please let me know, as usual.

Thanks!

[SocraticLawyer]

Apologies for my absence. We've had a death in the family, which has impacted my ability to make timely posts. But I should be back to my regular routine in the days to come. Thanks for bearing with me!

[Scott308]

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Socratic. Real life is more important than the game, take what time you need.

[OGRE MAGE]

Sorry for your loss, SL.

[Urson]

Ouch! Sorry for your loss. Take your time, buddy.

[Inferno]

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's been a rough year. I'm thankful for this escapism, and for all of you who make it possible. Thank you.

[Inferno]

Hey everyone,
That's three and a half days.
Because of the holiday weekend, I'll extend the turn. Thanks.
