to each their own
i’m obviously biased because the puzzle had weird wording, unclear sentencing, and didn’t seem to follow much train of logic
but i’m also aware other people seem have done it fine and that i had done it* (i stopped after a few clues because of reasons I believed above) at a time i was quite exhausted
…i could email them and ask
okay no that’s totally “cope” i just reread the puzzle
wording still sucks and i’m not discounting the possibility but
that specific issue was just me being tired

i dunno why it said 14 minutes it was at least 12h
My roommate’s boyfriend/my friend was asked to put on music in the car, so he hit shuffle on the songs on his phone. First thing that came on was “THE KONG REVOLVING”, a DK cover of THE WORLD REVOLVING
never let him have the aux

did you read the text under the “Clarifying Details” header? it basically explains all the wording
…intended-tone-helpful, not intended-tone-condescending
Chat mentioned “Amnesia”, name of water monster. (Ghost-like creature?) Dane’s group found and six sticks of dynamites. Branwen said passageway Stiorra went to collapsed recently, assumed to have been done intentionally to stop the dreadwalkers.
Solomon carved something to the wall. Vision went monochrome. Stiorra sang a song. (At least partially English.) Everyone compelled to move to source of song.
Ritual circle. Stiorra and someone else. Color returned. Someone else → Vagabonds’ mother, who soon disappeared after approaching Branwen. Stiorra’s left foot severed, cannot be treated any further (not bleeding). Behavior… odd, despairful. Stiorra tried to seal something, failed. “They wanted more.”
Boss nearby. Gave crash course vagabond belief to Bracken. Assumption: “Human in past asked for miracle from gods, but (ever-growing) debt was left unpaid.” Branwen also despairing, not knowing what Brothers want.
Dane lost old helmet. Boss room, ceiling has– BOSS TIME. ((Finish room description first!)) Boss room! Ceiling has nets around stalactites. Two exits excl. entrance, spiral scaffolding upwards!
Boss description! Giant, two heads, pair of white glowing eyes, pair of green glowing eyes, humanoid(?), left arm’s end mimics hammer; as big as half of fat body! ((Presumption: Carrying big-ass boulder!)) Details obscured: darkness, not enough light, anomalous property, and/or character limitation.
Solomon, gather guildsmen, shoot, dreadwalkers spawned from right side. Giant, attack vagabonds with boulder. Cassandra, plan, use dynamite. Lit, BOOM, dreadwalker entrances, closed off. ((WTF, Joshua has a flaming sword??)) Plan as walking above: Dynamite on ceiling, lure giant under, drop stalactite. Eliza carrying bag o’ dynamites.
Execute plan, giant staggered, shot a bit more, giant petrified or got turned to wood. Dreadwalkers still roaming around. OOC: Actor said heads were of “Claire the bread baker and her husband”. (…reference to first installment. I know nothing about it!)
6/10 would (begrudgingly) do again
Giant dying speech, turned to particles. Flaming sword is from oil. Oliver injured leg, but not on priority list. Four treatments left. If only tourniquet, then eventually amputation, else death by bloodloss and infection. Solomon told Robin to treat Oliver anyway.
Informed Dane of names mentioned by giants. Solomon and Dane heard voice which made them mad furious at giant, and initiated the battle without getting frozen in fear.
Chat with Robin while waiting for DMs to inform of Solomon injury. Eliza had thrown dynamites at giant with great accuracy. One of the Cass needed treatment. Talk with Gwen about names, unable to find due to stress. Giant dropped petrified heart. Man in giant was Sean McCormick, woodworker.
Carmine survived intact! ((Mental trauma is present, and injuries hurt, but at least treatment not needed.)) Plan to escape: Use explosive toward source of breeze. ((…n? Earth cracking sound, but Solomon unchecked.)) Eliza had to choose who to save between Gwen and Stiorra. (Branwen is fucked either way. Will either lose sister or lover.) Eliza chose to save Stiorra. Gwen swallowed by earth. Dropped lantern for her. ((Hooooly shit, that’s a fucking long drop.))
Chat said Gwen’s actor stopped streaming… Mine crumbling. ((Makes sense, excessive use of explosives.)) Escape towards somewhere. Uh. Chat pointed out Gwen had giant petrified heart.
NO WAY. This is how the session -the arc- ends!? WTF!? Now I have to wait for a year if they will actually see Blackwell or not! ((Chat had a top row bingo…))
Casualty count: Nathaniel body unknown and Gwen most likely dead if not by fall, then by cave-in and lack of oxygen. ((FFFFFFF…))
Resuming with catching up on other POVs. Starting with POV8 E10. Silas started at his stall, training slight of hand. Met up with people who came along with Pinkman; Cassandre and Jasper Sallow. (Sallow face beneath eyes concealed with cloth, left eye black sclera, left side of face suffered from nasty burns.)
