[OOC] Strange Maps

[Mindsiege]

If you want me to narrate the spirit's instructions myself, I can do that. But you're going to have to prompt him first. There's no reaction to Snap Kick holding out his poem and no reaction to anything that has been said in common.

Technically, after the spirit asked your group how long Snap Kick's craft would take nobody responded to him for several minutes, so your characters don't know if he's even still there.

Well, you know that he's still there because I've told you that he is and what he'll instruct you to do, but according to the present narration, your characters stopped interacting with him for the 10 minutes that it took your group to wait for Snap Kick to finish his work.

If you would like me to make a GM update to explain that nothing is happening, I could do that too. I'm just figuring that eventually someone will have to advance the story. If the group prefers to play everything out to the letter, then please go ahead and prompt the spirit to deliver his instructions.

[Mindsiege]

On second thought, if you want your characters to wait and see if the mountain spirit will respond to Snap Kick's offering without being addressed in primordial, you can just let me know in the OOC and I can provide a GM update accordingly. I'm just trying to coordinate and speed the action up a bit more. If your deal with the spirit is a foregone conclusion, I'd like my next GM update to put your party into motion to resolve what happens next.

So what will it be? Does your party require more back and forth with the spirit or should I move the story forward?

[secretID]

I'm decided for following the spirit's instructions, provided they seem reasonable. Arro will send Duha ahead, though.

Sounds good. I'll schedule an update.

[secretID]

Let me know if you need more than my last IC post.

[Mindsiege]

Works for me.

[secretID]

I had completely forgotten that we have a prisoner. (:

[Mindsiege]

I haven't. The prisoner will slow you down. Do you want to address that?

[Yoshimi]

I had no plan for the prisoner. Snap Kick just had trouble killing someone begging for mercy. Pretty stupid of him.

In this quote, would the "two" refer to Rhazor and Snap Kick or to the grung and Cha-kra?

[secretID]

The two PCs.

Before you narrate that the yuan-ti is buried, I think Cha-kra will volunteer to take the prisoner and try to find a hiding place between the rocks. I can narrate his suggestion with the next GM update and if the PCs agree I can also narrate that he does it.

[Yoshimi]

I already assumed the burial in my narration.

I noticed. We can edit that if necessary. Cha-kra would bring up his idea before the yuan-ti is buried. Alternatively, you could also delete your last post and then add your narration to your next post after the next GM update. If the PCs are vehemently against Cha-kra's idea, we could also let your post stand and then I can write in my next update that Cha-kra brings up his idea, gets rejected, and the burial is completed.

Basically, it's up to the group what you prefer. But Cha-kra will bring up his idea before the burial is enacted.
