> Chug sufficient whiskey to deaden pain and fear response, save remainder in bucket, then break bottle to use as weapon

I can't see how this can possibly be a bad idea.

[Myroc]

There is a perfectly useful hammer back in the smithy we can use as a weapon. All we need to do is figure out how to remove the cable from the anvil.

[JonMW]

We don't know how long it'll be until we'll be able to complete that step, or if we're meant to detach it at all. It seems silly to me to go poking around in potentially dangerous places without a weapon under the assumption that we simply won't encounter a monster before we're capable of dealing with it - it breaks immersion. Or something.

There's some black spot-thing, on the far right side (looks like a mouse hole or something that-like). Investigate it.
Also, look inside the skull. They always put the nicieys inside the skull.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

we've already check that, it had a rod\key thingie

[scriver]

Yes, but that was from his left hand. There might still be untold amount of treasure and/or scorpions left inside the skull. It is, I believe, what Schrodinger proved when he killed his kitteh to see if it had any treasure inside it's head.

i meant the mouse hole, not the skull

He both succeeded and failed at killing the cat; both at the same time. Fortunately and unfortunately, he also, did not - and at the same time did - find treasure inside the dead kitty's skull as well as inside the live kitty's skull. Yeah, figure that one out...NOT!

[Ochita]

Different universes.

Oh yeah, I remember now. Waaaay back many pages ago, that was.

He both succeeded and failed at killing the cat; both at the same time. Fortunately and unfortunately, he also, did not - and at the same time did - find treasure inside the dead kitty's skull as well as inside the live kitty's skull. Yeah, figure that one out...NOT!

All I know is that he then proceeded to stuff the cat - which might or might not have been alive at that point, into a box. Oh, and the cat was black, and Schrodinger found himself with a strong need to unburden himself.

[namad]

for one the command was the search the skeleton therefore it has been searched.

the cat was alive when it went into the box, this is KEY to the experiment.  as soon as something is not alive, it can never be alive again... that was a key point.... the experiment would've been different with a stuffed cat....

[Soadreqm]

No, no, no. You all got it wrong. Schrödinger put a (living) cat in a box with a deathtrap that MIGHT go off, or not, depending on whether a radioactive atom decays. The cat was found a week later in a cupboard, looking very surprised. Somewhere Niels Bohr walks among us, unobserved and immortal.

[Retro]

I'm not really sure how this Schrodinger's cat stuff got brought into the discussion here, but whatever, that's cool too?

Anyhow I'll be running a session in a couple hours, probably around two-ish. Juuust a heads-up yo. I've also spent most of this morning hashing out the very last of the plot details I hadn't sorted out, and the grand story, and... well, it's gonna be a wild ride We've barely scratched the surface.

> Chug sufficient whiskey to deaden pain and fear response, save remainder in bucket, then break bottle to use as weapon

The bucket is no good for convenient carrying, nor would that be hygenic, but you have yourself a good swig of Glen Avon and feel a lot better. AH YEAH. BURNS SO GOOD.

grab the skull to reenact the "alas poor yorik" scene from hamlet, but instead citing the "to be or not to be" part. then add the skull to your inventory, it's a nice lucky charm.

You don't know what a Yorik is but you spend a little bit of time monkeying around with the skull.

What's that Mr. Skully? Little Billy fell down the waterhole?
Arf!
I'm sure we'll get him out fine; let's not lose our heads about this! Ohohoho!
Arf arf!

You don't really know what sounds a skull is supposed to make but barking seemed to work pretty well.

Find a damn weapon! Maybe a bone from the skell if nothing else.

You further desecrate the skeleton by repurposing its legbone. I guess he'll have to rest in pieces.

Remark that door looks like a fanged mouth.

A little bit, yeah. But your whisky-ed senses are thoroughly unconcerned.

go through the doorway

You step over a weird device and into a room with a strange machine in it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As an aside, since someone on IRC asked this; no, the rooms do not have a fourth wall that I'm just not showing you. Thus far the only room with anything on its back wall is this new one, and that's just the exit.

[dragnar]

A note! Read the note! Then open the hatch on the machine.
