Perhaps later this year we'll hear about the continuing adventures of Sir Thumb in the Land of Lingering Stiffness....

OK, that is going fast.
Copying here, as RS accidentally linked in the worng thread...

And yes. Open door, walk through the dungeon, done, get out, next door.
They'll catch up soon. And then they'll find out the dungeons are just a distraction so nobody searches for traps/portals, although the closeness of doors to each other actually makes the use of portals a necessity to create room for actual dungeons.

A Bit Too Revealing


Oh yeah, don't forget to call in!


Also: no problem.
It's so quiet here, I wonder if we should continue discussing here, although you guys sometimes point me to something I missed.

Can't bards cast speak with animals? /confused

I pop into the GitP forums once in a great while, but it's way too busy over there to keep up with. There seems to be no middle ground, sadly.

yeah, GitP is a bit too much for me as well.

I sincerely hope Elli finds this community worthwhile to be advertised on her site again.
It had the right balance between activity and focus.

I check the twitter threads on the updates, sometimes the comments there are a good pointer for me.
( for the current page)
So, to make me look like someone with a good memory:
Belkar's wish of page 0916 got fulfilled.
yes, that's stolen from the twitter thread

Likely, but why would he? The chameleon/lizard would need to grab Elan's attention and keep it for the bard to cast that spell, if he even prepared it.
So, it's likely to go without any notice.

I don't get the reference of a gauntlet?
you must be in every finger?

How would/could such a mechanism work?

Not only would intruders have to be sufficiently powerful to override the defenses, they have to have a TON of patience to clear EVERY door. Which I assume resets at set intervals too due to what Oona said about monsters respawning.

So can *we* get to the final dungeon without exploring them all? Or do we have to stop them before they get there?

I could only speculate about this, but "we" have access to Serini, who seems to be the most knowledgeable character regarding this dungeon.

Let's see if the next page includes this question.

I think it refers to image-generating AIs such as Stable Diffusion, which are quite weak when generating hands and the correct number of fingers, but as other AIs in other fields, it progresses with each version (or generation).
Example of said Stable Diffusion generated images:

Oh, cool, the Finale is getting closer, Blackwing is back in the party.


it seems half the twitter comments complain about a perceived spelling error:
marschmeallow, but hey it's a name of a game.

Nice, let's flood the whole Dungeon.
Also, didn't expect Serini to hire the Monsters instead of drafting them.

Interesting trick. I wonder if those peas are a real D&D thing or a Rich homebrew.
