The Bookwyrm

That was fun! I liked my character. I'm kind of sad he died...he had such a bright future in front of him.... I don't know why I was struggling to read people. Even now, knowing who was who, I'm having a hard time equating words and actions with roles. Ah well. Perhaps I just need more practice. (I can also work on deflecting suspicion!) Thanks to Kasimir for running the game, and thanks to everyone else for playing!

@Ookla the Shadowed @Thaidakar the Ghostblood @Ookla the Pencil Taxi @Ookla the Debonair Ruins of Tal'rin: Central Cellar Bookwyrm took out his magical tome-which was the size of a small notebook at the moment-and wrote down the numbers that Matra had translated. "I should be able to calculate the exact location by plugging the numbers into the parameters and cross referencing that data with the interdimensional structure of this multiverse. The system was devised by my organization; I should be able to figure it out." He snapped the notebook closed and tucked it away. "It may take a while, though. And also..." he nodded to the stone that Calano was holding. "The parameters require a key. I can't transport us there unless we can figure out how to access the magic in that stone. And I don't know how we'd do that." Bookwyrm turned to see Insa crouched down next to Emma, who was lying on the ground. He dashed over. "Emma? Are you okay? What are you doing here?" @Ookla the Myopic @Ookla the Crow

Ruins of Tal'rin: Central Cellar @Ookla the Crow "The Worldseer runes talk about an Archive, so I think that part is confirmed. The rest..." Bookwyrm looked closely. "They're coordinate parameters. A special kind of system for calculating interdimensional travel. But I can't read the numbers themselves. The rest seem to be in some kind of cypher, so while I recognize the symbols I can't quite tell what it's saying." Bookwyrm stepped aside so that Matra could take a closer look. "Do you recognize any of the runes?"

Ruins of Tal'rin @Ookla the Crow Bookwyrm smiled. "It's not a problem." Bookwyrm turned and pointed towards the center of the burnt village. "This way." He gestured for his team to follow. [@InfiniteInsanity @Ookla the Debonair @Ookla the Shadowed] Bookwyrm led Calano to the door to the central cellar. He opened the trapdoor and climbed down the stairs, summoning a sphere of Nightfire for light. He led Calano to the circle of runes at the back wall. "That central piece held the stone I found," Bookwyrm said, pulling out the white wedge-shaped rock and showing it to Calano. @Thaidakar the Ghostblood

It used to be TFE, because of nostalgic reasons, but now it's probably RoW or TLM because I love Cosmere connections too much. They make me enjoy a book way more than I would normally. So probably RoW right now. The trend for a while will probably be that my favorite Brandon book is whatever the latest Stormlight novel is at the time. EDIT: I just realized I had already responded to this thread, and my answer is quite literally the exact same thing...whoops.

Outskirts of Tal'rin Uh...I found a weird stone in their cellar. Bookwyrm sent a mental image of it, and the runes around it, to Calano. I have a memory of the runes in one of my copperminds. A few of the runes were connected to the Worldseers, but the rest were unfamiliar to me. I'm fairly certain it's connected to one of the Archives. Perhaps a key of sorts? I'm not sure what it means. Bookwyrm called out to the villagers. "We have a place for you to stay, while you figure out what your next steps are. The people there are kind and caring; they'll make sure you have what you need." Bookwyrm summoned a row of Wyrmholes for the villagers to walk through. "And what about the rest of our people?" someone called. "We'll make sure they know where you are, and that you are safe," Bookwyrm replied. "You have no need to fear." Slowly but systematically, all of the villagers of Tal'rin entered the Wyrmholes to the Clinic.

Outskirts of Tal'rin Bookwyrm solidified the mental connection. We arrived at Tal'rin to find it burned to the ground. The culprit was a magical being made of fire and ash that seemed to be corrupted by Kaos. We defeated it, but we were to late to save the village. Luckily, most of the villagers hid in a cellar beneath their central building. We have a collection of about...three hundred people who just lost their home. Do you know anywhere they could stay while they figure out their future? Bookwyrm paused. None of them have Brandofandonitis, as far as I'm aware, so the clinic might not be the best place... Oh, and there was another group of them, led by their warriors, that managed to escape. We don't know where they are. As he sent the message and waited for a response, Bookwyrm walked over to @InfiniteInsanity, @Ookla the Debonair, and @Ookla the Shadowed. "I just recived a communication from Calano," he said. "With luck, we'll have a place for these people to go soon."

Bookwyrm opened a portal and left the planet the sandwich was on to go do a side quest. A very important side quest.

Oh, scud.a

What is this little "a" at the end of your post?

*Puts Cheese On Top Of Muffin* (I Like This Format. It Makes So Much Sense.)

What is occurring in this thread now? It's been a while.

Oh yeah. I forgot about this.

I think the crab part comes from the Highstorms. It's nice to have a hard outer shell when your planet is perpetually wracked with gigantic hurricane-strength tempests. There are probably other factors, but I think that's the big one. Even most of the plants have shells and can move to protect themselves. The GIANT part comes from the fact that Roshar has slightly lower than average gravity, letting creatures get bigger than they would be able to on a world like Earth. Also (Minor Stormlight 2-3 spoilers)

Nope. And I never intend to. TPBM has a headache.

Bookwyrm observed this being's formation from his pocket dimension.

Confusion reigned.

Why does the number we're numbering our posts with differ from the number of posts at the top of the thread? 1387

Bookwyrm appeared after a pleasant lunch with Eof's family. His eyes widened. "What's going on here?" he asked. "And where's Rym?"

"That'll work." Rym called upon an ability from his Narrator and began to hover in the air. He flew up next to Platypus. "Be careful," he said. "Beings such as Subversion are more wily than you'd assume."

Rym shrugged off the moment of disorientation from the series of teleportations and turned towards Subversion. "To be honest, I'm not quite sure."
