Also, how can we not know how our telephaty works? Given our intelligence it should be really obvious...
Why would it be obvious? It's like trying to determine how your body works without having anything to dissect. We couldn't know any more than a smart caveman could understand how the brain functions.

You head inside the building and take a look around for a mad scientist. Before you is a white room with a door on one side and a computer on the other.

You haven't got any physical things to test, that makes it incredibly hard to find out how your telepathy works.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

Umm, no. Given how brains work in general there are only so many ways that it COULD work, it's more like figuring out what spectrum your eyes work in given extensive knowledge of the relevant physics. By observing stuff like range, what parts of the brain we affect, if we can sense other electrical curents or neurons, and other things we'd have observed throughout normal use we can narrow it down to one possibility easily. Seriusly, there are only 3 eall ways it could work anyway:

Electrically, in wich case we can vaguely sense electronics and such.
Chemically, in which case we'd notice some non-neuron cells as well.
Through a metaphysical soul, in winch case a) this RP sucks, and b) we can probably contact the dead or something like that.

There are some more exotic possibilities, but hose don't really matter.

Such as D: It's magic. Not all forum games have to follow normal physics. Not to mention this game is clearly not serious. I mean our goal is be an awesome hero who does awesome things. That setting does not require perfect real-world physics.

You move over to the computer and press the on button. There is a short hum and it buzzes to life. Some writing appears on the screen.
