Ugh, I am terrible with cryptic puzzles. So, what I think it involves is:

The two legs that hold themselves above the earth changed it. Many were made unto aether. Earth bleeds tears of stone. This is her blood. It calls to us. It is ours.

The Mount Kilimanjaro incident. Lots of dead spirits. The tanzanite changed as a result of the ritual. The tanzanite attracts the spirits and they say it is theirs (Great).

The one is of the earth. The other two not.

I think this might be referring to our group in the cave, but I would have thought they would have identified four people. Assuming they aren't including Mlinzi, I'm not sure who is of the earth and who isn't. Alzmer is probably "of the earth" but he just ripped out a chunk from the wall, so who knows.

Pondering my response.

Oh, also, does the rock shard Alzmer has have an aura? If so... Assensing the rock sample: Assensing (2) + Intuition (4) (6d6.hits(5)=2)

[Reminder]

Yes, it has an aura. What that aura is, you can't tell.


Also, remember spirits can assense as easily (or given your dice rolls, better) as you you can.

[Reminder]

Also, I know the others can't technically hear it, but if you guys wish to, I am fine if you talk about it.

Hey now, it was an average number of successes on six dice. (three times no less, that has to be a Mlinzi record). Granted, if they're F4 or greater, they're rolling more dice than me anyway (then again, if they're F4 or greater, we're probably screwed).

If anyone has anything to add, feel free.

Whatever you do, don't piss it off :-)

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I should tell them that one of the dudes that made the Earth cry blood is hanging out upstairs near a truck and some tents. 

Pffft, like I said, this should be entertaining. I'm kind of hoping they'll assense everything. Although maybe that's a clue to the "one of the earth, the other two are not" thing. I think I remember Alzmer had a little cyber in his head, Frenchy is Awakened, but I don't think I learned much about Mwindaji when I assensed him, but if he had any obvious cyber, perhaps I noticed it. I guess that could be what they're getting at...

You are up top by yourself. It's likely they don't even know about you.

Then again, maybe not.

Hmm... how does Banishing work with Free Spirits since they don't exist in 5th yet? Do I need to roll something to see if I have an idea? I honestly just remembered that I had that skill, I forgot that it was Binding that I didn't take.

Just for future reference, of course. Given our situation, it should be mere child's play to talk ourselves out of this situation. 

[Reminder]

Given the current description of banishing, it would seem to apply to summoned spirits only. You may have to disrupt them if you want to send them off the material plain.

If you have another solution or interpretation  you want to try though, I am all ears.

[JackVII]

Nope, pretty much what I PMd you. That's how she would try to handle it.

[Reminder]

At this point about a minute has passed of Mlinzi standing in silence just holding the rock, but not looking at it.

[JackVII]

I'm frankly terrified of this "showing" business.

[Reminder]

They cant hear him, being fully in the astral.

[JackVII]

It was more preemptive than anything...

I'm sorry, but RL is eating my lunch and I think I need to drop the forums for awhile. Thanks for letting me play, and I am so sorry.
