Dead Waterlogged 13: The Curse of The Doubled Flame Manse!
 

Today I defused a ticking timebomb.

You're welcome!

Oh and Jubal lost his precious magic rocks and his shadow. At least the shadow will grow back.

Such activities!

Dead Waterlogged 14: Enemy Underground
 

Why is it that we seem to murder almost everyone we meet?

Also, the Deathlords may be in league with forces from beyond the stars.

Lessons learned:

1. Lytek is cool! But should not be left in the same room as Calm for longer than-... Ever.
2. Storms was pretty cool, for a Lion. Shame he never wants to see us again.
3. Sidereals have no concept of privacy.
4. Syren is such a stalker.
5. Deathlord based memories in our heads? Where do we sign up?!
6. The Perfect of Paragon is a dick, but his city is probably one of the 'nicest' in Creation. Moral dilemma!
7. Elly solves moral dilemmas with a sword.
8. Look out world, Neeran is lookin' for love!
9. Look out Neeran, the women in our party are terrifying! And also oblivious.
10. Garret, Elly, and Jubal were left to their own devices in Yu Shan, and there was no disaster. All three would like medals.

And, for you lazy people who didn't show up for half the game, I shall try to attach the (not quite complete) log!

Well that was actually a pretty interesting fight! When the armies began advancing and the field started becoming a flaming wasteland, things did start to feel pretty epic!

Lessons learned:

1. Ok, next time an evil Abyssal shows up carrying a big sack and with a very obvious scheme afoot, I will steal said bag before he gets started.
2. Neeran can totally just walk up to a place and get people to tie themselves up. This is both useful, and slightly terrifying.
3. Once the fight begins, Elly has no mercy. None.
4. Spell-casting in combat is almost always a bad idea. Meanwhile, even if everyone has sneak attack detectors, stealth is amazing. I don't think that Abyssal saw it coming. Well, that was the point, really.
5. Jubal and Kaimi working together to set up a field of traps? Awesome results.
6. We really need to get proper access to Solar level spells at some point. They're amazing.
7. Semara's destiny approaches. She will hit a big thing with a super big thing soon enough! Until then, she can hurt things that even give Elly trouble!
8. Calm is a little too eager to smash Solar Manses.
9. Behemoths are big. I want one.
10. Masky probably still thinks he can take us. I would very much like to dissuade him of this foolish notion.

Game Log:

Dead Waters, Episode 20: The Very Deadly Deathlord Tea-Party Showdown
 

Ultimate showdown checklist!

Can the Solars Win?
Hell yes.

Will Elly prove herself worthy of her Exaltation?
Stabs shown: all of them.

Will Jubal survive the fight?
Did anyone doubt that Jubal, HERO OF THE REALM, would emerge from the final battle glorious and triumphant?

Will Semara ever get to concert again?
Every time I stop, and stumble and doubt in darkness, I close my eyes and think back to you. We made a vow, a promise, to carry onwards - I'll see it through!

Will Calm get to blow up the manse?
Alas, no.

Will Garret steal something impossible to steal?
It still eludes his grasp. Stealing the Mask of Winter's mask comes pretty close though.

Will Kai ever finish her damn spell?
In time-skips, all things are possible!

Dead Waters Gaiden 2 - Living in the Past: Beacons of Light, Dragons of Shadow
 

We saved all of the bacon.

Pray for a future peace in Creation!

Dead Waters Episode 21: How Do You Stop An Invincible Princess?
 

Huuuuuugs.

I am feeling very tired, so further commentary is going to have to wait until tomorrow.

In this epsiode of Dead waters:

1. Deserts are full of sand!
2. Elly and Kaimi cannot be trusted with their drink intakes.
3. Solar Style Parkor!
4. Terrible Criminals.
5. A meeting with a curtain!
6. Skullstone is great.
7. Dawn v. Dawn!
8. Many dead seagulls.
9. Glorious Solar Theft!
10. Glorious Solar Murder.

What I learned:

1. Don't let Kai drink the bar dry. Cuz I'm pretty sure that's what she did to actually get drunk in the first place.
2. We never found out what a Wookiee was, but clearly "Sherlock" is one of them, and they are not to be trifled with.
3. You can fail at being a criminal
4. Syren loves showing up at bad times
5. We only compliment Jubal when he's not around
6. Garret is getting a change in Hearthstone! Yesssss

Dead Waters Episode 23: Saptrapment
 

Today we discovered:

1) Conflicts of interest are terrible.

2) Problems solving themselves freaks Elly out.

3) Riding magical hurricanes is still totally a thing we can do and the solution to all our problems.

4) Semara is the undisputed chopsticks master.

5) Mud-fights.

6) Nakiim needs a chaperone if he's going to be spending any time around Syren.
