[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Commissar Molotov]

Per the rules in the book it will dissipate in four (or so) rounds, so not a long-term inconvenience (but certainly a perilous one!)

[A.T.]

I was regretting spending that fate point on wounds, thinking I might need both the reroll and +10 with Atratus' relatively low strength which would leave him short for killing strike.

 

But just the reroll was enough in the end and Atratus topples over on the kroot and squashes him. Now to find out what the Interrogator was up to.

[Steel Company]

Wow, that took me a while to remember how to use spoiler!

[Commissar Molotov]

Another step along the "get the game moving" train!

[Steel Company]

Speaking of that CM, it just hit me, we are about a month short of the 4 year anniversary of this game starting!

[Necronaut]

@CM, I have an answer to your riddle, but I'm unsure how you like to handle puzzle-solving in your games.

[Commissar Molotov]

No rolls are required - you and TBTL (and Steel?) are welcome to input any combination. Perhaps give us some narrative alongside Helgrim's guess.

[Lysimachus]

Think I got it... maybe?

 

Double Spoilered for GM so I can play along :D

 

WORD. Have to give it to be able to keep it?

[Necronaut]

I'll have Helgrim's re-introductory post up shortly.

What mystery lies behind...what a great way to jump back into this

[Necronaut]

Oof. Never start editing a post you were initially happy with -- it is a surefire path to frustration and despair.

"Brother Solza, I would beg your forgiveness should I lose my temper, but I believe we are being confronted with a riddle, and I am not a man possessed of the kind of patience needed for word games.

 

 

...I'd like to change my answer to: 'Crozius Arcanum'

 

 

 

 

:P

[Necronaut]

The door is certain to become well-acquainted with Helgrim's mace should he and Solza (and maybe Tyber?) be unable to determine a solution.

 

Obligatory Futurama reference double-spoilered below for GM's amusement (and a hint at my and TBTL's first guess).

 

[Steel Company]

Might take a bit of coxing to get Tyber to enter the chapel. But a bolt pistol (or plasma pistol ) round from the door could work too.

[Mazer Rackham]

The answer is headbutt obviously! 

[Commissar Molotov]

Alas, the door is made of solid plot-onium, and is utterly impervious!

The door, sure, but what about the keypad?

[Mazer Rackham]

Right, I'm leaving this thread, but I'm calling it now:

 

GM ONLY - (I mean it!)

Did you peek?  Bet you did.  Yes you - Player!

I give it five posts before someone tries to bite the lock off/chew through it/spit acid.

[That Beyond the Light]

I thought I could get something on tonight, but I got snowed under with some other paper work. I have a free day tomorrow so with pleasure will get something up in the mid morning...maybe a bit more tactful than a headbut this time...

[That Beyond the Light]

ive presented a response to the door issue. Its not as good as id like, but im dusting the cobwebs off, so they should get better from her on in....

[Steel Company]

Love is an interesting answer to that question, I have my own thoughts, but I will keep them to myself for now, then again I think that my answer might be too obvious.

[Necronaut]

Odds are I'm wrong and my narrative was hilariously wasted.:P

[Steel Company]

If it is, it's still a good shot, and unexpected to come for an Astartes. I'd allow it, if I were GM'ing just because I like unorthodox answers to riddles like that.

[Necronaut]

If I can't get the right answer, I can at least post a bit of backstory RP for Helgrim. My other four-letter-word ideas were significantly ruder, and certainly not in keeping with board standards.

And that makes it all the better!
