what in the heckydo was the black and gold mushroom (that you could find in chapter 3) for??? i never got the opportunity to use it anywhere |D and im very curious.

I loved the different encounters! Lots of different things to come across, and such a nice variety too! I especially loved that my little Rebel got to play ‘the floor is actually lava’ at one point, and running into a Finding Nemo-esque jellyfish field as a first encounter just floored me. I was grinning so hard at the awesome silliness of suddenly being in a field of giant jellyfish. Plus, the encounters never really seemed that hard or dangerous.

Which was especially useful, given the underwater section required you take the charm, which was a really cool feature. Kind of like a hard mode for the rest of the adventure, since you have one item less past chapter three. Though, I didn’t reeaaallly like the shop. Granted, when I first ran into it I had something to say about all the items, but given I’ve run the adventure several times because reasons(TM) I kind of ran out of things to say about the items. It’s mostly the problem of having to do it step by step. First inspecting the whole shop, then each individual item, then buying each individual item. But having that section shortened to one or two sentences doesn’t really make the rest of the actual adventuring portions of the adventure any less epic, so it’s fine. Besides, it’s much easier to pad the posts around shop time if you have a group instead of going solo.

For the Crevasse, I do wish that not every member of the group had to roll for damage on the climbing encounters. Personally I didn’t use any flying/hovering mycenians, but it’s kind of meh that if you had a mixed group of people who can/can’t fly that the ones who can fly still have to take falling damage for…some…reason. Especially when the climbing ones roll to where they’re perfectly fine at the same time. It’d be really, really awkward to roleplay that.

At some point, having some way to ‘stat up’ our characters would be freakin’ AWESOME. There’s clearly a lot of different types of checks from physical to psychic, and different types of damages already in it to boot. I’m super excited for the system to get further refined to allow us to get buffs to our canon strengths. As it stands, it’s kind of hilarious that my craziest mycenians are succeeding psychic checks while my strongest mycenians are failing strength/ dexterity checks, but it might get a bit awkward eventually if it keeps happening.

Back to shopping for a moment, it’s be really cool if we could get a sort of wallet slot to our inventory that shows us as having x nuggets, so adventures could have set prices on items. Maybe different tiers of potions that heal different amounts cost differently, better armors cost more, etc. Then we could further diversify our characters with their shop items, since not all stores would be so limited in item numbers. Perhaps the person hiring us for the adventure has a set limit on cost? \shrug

Also, I made myself salty about that ending oh my gawd. Essentially, everyone was taking their sprouts and Rebel was just watching them go after this big adventure checking for one of her own until one by one all the sprouts are taken but one. Then even that one didn’t turn out to be hers and she just kind of talks to it for a while before leaving empty-handed. Such a bittersweet and unsatisfying ending, aff. But she’s the leader of a rebellion, and a sprout would have no place in her care. Plus like I said I have multiple adventures, and someone has to canonically get the sprout, and it just didn’t make sense for it to be her. So ending with a mound of salt get!

That said, man that was an exciting ending! And super nicely written, too! Did not realize you could try to reason with the golem, might try that when one of my other characters gets there. I never actually got a chance to check out the crystal, since I wanted Rebel to inspire the other mycenians to work since yes, rebel leader plus a group to lead equals time to do the thing! Oops. Oh well, better get there with someone else I guess!

After all that’s said and done, loved the adventure! Fun encounters, a cool system for adventurous storytelling, and a nice lore tie-in to the event rewards as well! 10/10, would adventure again. And I am! Huzzah! :D

So Kiwi triggered this encounter but it doesn’t give me an option to respond or react to it other than through pure roleplay. Options are pure roleplay, poke around the cavern more, or to leave. Just wondering if that was a glitch or if it’s just a silly encounter.

Your mind congers pleasant images as you sleep. Ch. 3 ‘resting’ encounter in the abyss.

Omg! I can’t say enough how much I loved this Event! I’ve never experienced anything like this on a forum before. It was really well executed and I can’t wait to see this feature rolled out for general use. Thank you so so much staff! :D :D I loved Chapter Three because I kept expecting something bad to happen because I was so on edge from Chapter Two looool… Overall it was very well-paced and I actually wish I had explored each option a little more! >:P

I LOVE the way the Sprout was tied into the story instead of just being a prize at the end… I love it so much in fact that I would love my character to be the parent of this sprout. When we are given them, will they automatically be kinnen with the character we played as, or will we have to perform that action ourselves? I would love this to be part of Marty’s lore. Can you even perform kinnen with just one Mycenian, actually? :O Very curious, would love the Sprout to officially be Marty’s! :3

At this time, sprouts will be delivered without having a parent bond! However, as of our February update, kinnen can be proposed to non-adult Mycenians,
... so you can definitely have your rp character ‘adopt’ the flower, so to speak! You can create a single Mycenian geness first, and then propose kinnen to the flower with that geness!

This is a very cute thought, and might be a fun future mechanic to play with if we do something similar. Thanks again for your thoughts and feedback! C:

I see! I’ll have to do that then. :D Thanks! Now I just have a dumb newbie question lol… The character does have a husband whose character belongs to someone offsite, my partner. He’s considering eventually joining the Cave… If he does and makes this character is there a way for him to join Marty in geness? :O Basically, will Marty’s single geness be permanent or can another Mycenian join later on? I’ll hold off until he joins the site if it will be easier in the long run.

This was INCREDIBLY fun!! Reminded me of an rpg a friend of mine made years ago that was all text-based. I didn’t end up having time to really get into my responses as much as I would have liked (between myself and my kids getting sick, my youngest actually developing a small patch of pneumonia, and my schedule about to get even more busy through the 10th), I still had a ton of fun with the prompts and would love to include a second “flavor” character next time. The idea of characters having skill points and levels is really exciting!! ; u;

I loved the various encounters and it was REALLY neat to be able to find stuff by taking time to explore (at least, I found armor - but I got greedy and tried to look for more lootz, which led to my character getting bitten by something, oops haha - totally suspected that might happen but I lack self control when it comes to hidden goodies XD). One of my favorite things in rpgs is taking my time and checking every nook and cranny and finding hidden chests/rooms/etc.

I do have a question though - did our weapon choice or lack thereof have any impact on our damage dealt? I.e., were some monsters more resistant to slashing vs piercing damage, etc?

I’m looking forward to seeing more events using this system in the future - thank you, I know it must have taken a lot of work!

Here is the link to the post in question. So we eat the molten titan, and I chose the ‘explore the area more’ action, thinking that maybe it would allow us to interact with the sprouts or crystal for story purposes. But the post generated by the bone monster sounds like we are still in battle. Is it okay for us to just ignore this post?

Yes, ignore that!  I can go ahead and delete that. :) After you’re done with your pure roleplay posts after you defeat the titan, head to the epilogue. :D
