Good one.

Sorry to overexplain. Just wanting to keep everything clear, especially in these early stages.

SE to the river? We will need water soon...

Sometimes the characters speak for themselves.

Don't worry about it, Kinkajou. "Art takes as long as it takes."

TODAY I finally got the joke in Fiefo's last name.

Urson wrote:TODAY I finally got the joke in Fiefo's last name.

It's not super obvious. ...Or very funny.

The idea was that his clan's naming convention is based on their ancestors, one of which, for Fiefo, was "Lab Rat No. 50."

OK- there's even more to the joke than I realized, then. I hadn't spotted the "5-0".

I got lab rat. But I never got 50.
Lab rat is funny!

Sorry Captain, Raven, Urson, wolfpack and Yrkoon. It's been three and a half days. Moving it along.

Fyi, Chapter 7's title, The Castle U.S.S. Enterprise, was a spoiler so I held it back a day.

It spawned a new nostalgia post in the Inspiration and Source Material thread, here: viewtopic.php?p=357794#p357794

You've been warned.

Using his eyes as well as his nose, the wrinkly footpad is hunched over as he scans the ground in front for tracks...

Hi Yrkoon.
Fyi, the ground in front of the entrance is not visible...

Sorry if I was unclear.

Sorry, Captain Kinkajou. It's been three and a half days. Gotta move it along.

Really enjoying the IC comedy. Great stuff!

I'll need a new marching order, please, with light sources.

Kinkajou is killing it as Moniqua.


Hans has no light source, so unless there is ambient light, he ain't going first.

Thanks You're rocking it yourself Yrkoon!

Hans cracks me up. "He begins to wonder... Perfect skin, no base bodily functions, knowledge of his goddess' scripture... AN AVATAR?!"

What with Inferno's awesomely cool and colourful setting and the weird assortment of interesting characters we've all created, this game has fun written all over it!

Marching order-wise, since Moniqua doesn't really know what she's doing at the moment, she would most likely simply follow along with the others and go where she was directed. I'm figuring that would be in the middle somewhere, perhaps before or after Adrock, depending on his preference. Given he's entered the structure already, he seems pre-disposed to being further forward!

Left to her own devices, she'd probably remain near Tullia or Hans, having identified them as < FRIENDS > but, as above, whatever works for others is good.

Please?

well adrock doesnt want to go first but has alight source now

Maskelyn bravely takes a spot near the middle, knowing he's too fragile for any real fighting.

I've got no idea about marching order really but in an effort to help Inferno out and move this along, based on the previous order and Urson saying Maskelyn would prefer to go in the middle, how about the following?

Ko-Nan, Tullia
Adrock, Jack,
Maskelyn, Hans,
Moniqua, Fiefo

It's a start-point to suggest changes from at least. So, please shout if you have any comments or think anything should be different. I'm not at all precious about it. We should probably review in terms of light sources at least. Other than Adrock, I'm not sure who has them?

For the record, Moniqua has no light source and is content to go anywhere in the order. I was originally going to put her further forward but it would have left Maskelyn more at the back than in the middle, so I went with this.
