trade lantern for Thingy. ask Fox if he knows what Thingy is.

Tell Fox you will come back later, then go to the norteast to meet the other adventurers

INVISIBLE.

Don't trade for the thingy.
Look for George Washington and ask what's going on.

TRADE FOR THINGY.

we'll make our OWN light if we have to. we NEED teh thingy. its uber-l33ty goodness is cool.

control: Shuri: Slap face to get rid of these anoying nondecisive voices.

Claim page and stab it through MSB's chest.

to bad i'm already dead. D=

I vote with Lem. If it turns out we really need the thingy, we can always come back for it later. But if it turns out we need the lantern- or, for that matter, any of the Fox's other stuff- I really doubt Fox would let us trade after we try to steal from him.

AARRGGHH

just do WHATEVER! let's CONTINUE!

Hey, I have things to do. I'm not a machine like Derby. Don't worry, I didn't forget about you guys, I'm just ignoring you =D

"This should be fine for now," I said to Fox.
He swiftly put the trinkets away and bowed dramatically. "Pleasure doin' business with ye."
I glanced around the town. Cans, dirt, yellow tape, and town down buildings. No sign of George Washington. Part of me wondered why I was looking for George Washington, and part of me wanted to just ignore that question.

Inventory

Now we just need Vio, Lem or Risp to come running in here with directions from the map that nobody posted a link to for some reason.

Post a link to the map.

I mean you, Rad.

Click here for Violet's.

And here if you don't feel like waiting for the large image to load.

You only cut it down by about 54KB. I am not impressed.

How long is the rope?

The rope is 50 feet long.

Is the Lantern gas or electric?
Go N, E, N, E, N, E, E, E, N, E, N, W and regroup.

I raced across the island again, back to the broken machine. Nobody else was there. Uberbob, Fawriel, and Leetzan were elsewhere searching for a way to disable whatever was interfering with their teleportation device. I had no idea where Fooruman was, but he was quite possibly in the middle of space. Araches, on the other hand, was fairly close by, if I remembered the layout of the island correctly.

I examined the lantern I had just traded for. It looked old fashioned and slightly Japanese in nature. The bottom was labeled "Hydrogen fusion reactor powered, with additional slot for 9 volt back-up battery". Despite being a little unnerving, I guessed this made it a high-quality lantern.

There just has to be a few more of those little gears. Check the machine for any more gears to take.

Search for your teammates.

By the way, does the Magic Map work now?

You don't have the magic map in order to tell that.

I checked the machine for any more loose parts. Everything that could be removed looked like it had been removed and pocketed by some lucky gear-collecting adventurer.
I checked around the machine for Uberbob, Fawriel, and Leetzan. Evidently, they were still elsewhere, however. The only living things nearby were the plants.

NE, examine surroundings.

scream at the top of your lungs for them. say scream "WHERE THE (-) ARE YOU!?" wait and see what happens.

Nothing would happen as the fortress is pretty much away.

so? do it anyway.

But Shuri wouldn't curse D=

who says whe's cursing? maybe she says "parantheses line parantheses"

why wouldn't she curse?

I could imagine her cursing. I couldn't imagine her cursing to open air. She seems loathe to act as crazy and stupid as Uberbob, and shouting like that serves no purpose that I can see.

i might wake up a bear =D

Don't?

i want to do just one random thing

Why not do something practical like finding Araches?

later. i'm still reading all the previous Uberbob threads. i'm still on the first one.

EDIT: eeeehhh... E, S, S, W, W, W, W, W, W, W, S, S, W, S. we're at the village, no?

In case if Rad will be forgetful:

Risp is taking over for about a week. Listen to Risp instead of Rad. Don't do drugs or drink and drive, kids.

Sorry, MSB, Cooba posted first.

I went northeast. I reached a large pit, where the monolith once stood. That place still bought back painful memories of Uberbob's inept battle tactics and spotty puzzle-solving skills. Depsite that, I looked over it- the pit appeared to be sixty feet across. I tried looking down it, but it was too dark at to see how deep it was. The stones that once stood there appeared to have fallen down the pit. In fact, as I watched a bit more ground dislodged and fell down. The ground here appeared to be slowly crumbling away.

I supressed the urge to curse at my party. It just seemed pointless.

take a rock.

Move a few meters back.

I searched the ground for a rock. I would say it was to throw down the pit to get an idea how deep it is, but that would honestly be simple rationlization of my increasingly Uberbob-like tendancies. However, I didn't find any loose rocks small enough to carry; most of the small ones must have fallen down the pit.

I walked back, then felt marginally safer.

Is there anything you could tie the rope to?

There are a few large rocks that appear to be well-anchored enough to tie a rope around and have a reasonable chance of it still being there after climbing down.

Tie the rope around one of these rocks, then.

I tie my rope around one of the more stable-looking rocks near the edge, and briefly test the knot. It holds.
