Driver

One teeny tiny step at a time Story: Before stepping through the sanctum gate, you carefully remove the Riverstone Amulet from your neck and hold it out toward the threshold. The amulet pulses warmly as you lower it onto the stone just beneath the archway. The runes carved into the temple’s entrance flash briefly—then respond. A soft ring of water spirals outward from where the amulet touches stone, rising into a vertical veil of shimmering mist. The Codex hums at your side, translating the elemental resonance: “Bearer of harmony, drink from the stillness. Let memory wash you clean.” You step into the veil. Suddenly, the world goes quiet. A surge of calm energy floods through you, as if the sanctum itself is recognizing your readiness. The Riverstone Amulet reveals a hidden function: Sanctuary Threshold Effect Grants a one-time blessing from the Temple of Still Waters. +1 Max HP permanently (Temple’s gift of resilience) +2 EP restored All minor fatigue cleared The mist recedes. The threshold is now marked with your elemental signature. The amulet vibrates once in thanks before settling against your chest again. Updated Stats: HP: 26 / 27 (+1 Max HP permanently, fully healed) EP: 16 / 16 (+2 restored, now full) Elemental Strengths: (unchanged) Inventory: (Riverstone Amulet retains this effect permanently when visiting aligned temples) Spell Book: (Soul Veil still on cooldown – 1 encounter) Outcome of the Choice: Placing the Riverstone Amulet on the sanctum threshold triggered a hidden blessing from the Temple of Still Waters, permanently increasing your maximum HP by 1, fully restoring EP, and cleansing all fatigue. Next Choices: Enter the Sealed Sanctum now fully refreshed and blessed. Ask the Codex if other temples contain similar hidden blessings. Rest again to mark the end of the day and gain additional dream insights. Leave a Wavefruit offering on the threshold in case it strengthens the blessing. Re-cast Soul Veil to see if any lingering presence remains now that the veil is gone.

You think I could get Sinister to add a script that just posts that on every page lol.

Ok I'm back

Switch

Diplomacy Story: You lower your hand and step forward with calm, deliberate intent—making no aggressive movements. The Soul Veil still lingers faintly in your vision, allowing you to see the shimmering forms of the two illusory guardians flanking the sanctum’s gate. You speak not with force, but with balance: “I seek only to restore harmony. I walk the path of water, fire, and spirit—not for conquest, but for truth.” The mist swirls, and the guardians respond—not with words, but with a pulse of recognition. The air vibrates gently. Your Codex glows. Then… they bow. Their forms dissipate into motes of silvery-blue light, which spiral into the air and vanish into the temple’s threshold. The entrance is clear. You have passed the test—not through might, but through understanding. Codex Update: You have passed a Sanctum Harmony Test. Spirit affinity confirmed as high enough for dialogue-based resolution. Your peaceful approach has impressed the Temple of Still Waters—expect greater resonance and possible bonus outcomes within. Updated Stats: HP: 25 / 26 EP: 14 / 16 Elemental Strengths: (unchanged) Inventory: (unchanged) Spell Book: (Soul Veil on cooldown – 1 encounter) Outcome of the Choice: You peacefully engaged the hidden guardians and passed the sanctum’s entrance test through Spirit-based dialogue. The sealed chamber is now open and unguarded, and the temple itself has taken note of your harmony. Next Choices: Enter the Sealed Sanctum and explore the inner chamber. Use the Orb of Purity as a precaution before entering. Ask the Codex to scan for residual magic left by the guardians. Rest one final time outside the threshold to regain EP. Place the Riverstone Amulet on the threshold to see if it triggers anything further.

You should know that I finish work in 8 minutes and I'm gonna sit and enjoy the TV show.

Zombie Pirates? Nah was just his Bah! Post

No Leeroy Jenkins today! Story: As you approach the threshold of the Sealed Sanctum, a sense of quiet tension fills the air. The mist drifts unnaturally here, as if guided by invisible currents. Recalling the inscription on your Riverstone Amulet—“truth may pass unseen”—you decide not to enter blindly. You steady your breathing and extend one hand. Your fingertips glow with silver-white threads as you cast Soul Veil. The spell slides over the world like a second skin—soft, perceptive, revealing. And then… it shifts. Two faint humanoid outlines appear on either side of the sanctum entrance—illusory guardians hidden in the mist. They aren’t moving, but they pulse with defensive intent. They’re not hostile. Not yet. But entering without permission could trigger their wrath. Revealed by Soul Veil: Sanctum Guardians (Illusory) – Bound to detect and repel intruders. Intent: “Test those who walk the balanced path.” Emotion: Neutral. Watching. Note: Their forms ripple in response to Spirit-based cleansing or insight magic. The Codex hums and flashes a short phrase on its page: “The sanctum tests more than power. Approach with harmony.” Updated Stats: HP: 25 / 26 EP: 14 / 16 (Soul Veil cast) Veilbrand Surge: Ready (with stealth bonus from Riverstone Amulet) Elemental Strengths: (unchanged) Spell Book Cooldown: Soul Veil on 1-turn cooldown Inventory: (unchanged) Outcome of the Choice: Your Soul Veil revealed two hidden illusory guardians at the sanctum gate. They are not immediately hostile but may respond to your next action. You’ve uncovered a spiritual challenge—not a brute-force one. Next Choices: Cast Veilbrand Surge gently into the space between the guardians to signal balance. Speak to the guardians, using your Spirit affinity to attempt a peaceful approach. Attempt to walk through quietly, trusting the stealth effect of your amulet. Use the Orb of Purity to cleanse the space and dispel remaining illusions. Back away and observe their reaction from a distance.

Morning Zander 🙂

Hi and welcome to DM. We certainly do have both book and TV show discussions that are free for anyone to join in. There are the 'what did you think about this?' Threads and a whole heap of deep dive theories. And we have our social organisations that you can join and do WoT stuff. The currently active ones are the WT, the Band, Shayol Ghul and ...the Kin? Sadly the BT is currently inactive but who knows, maybe it can be brought back. We also play games, such as Mafia, and other random things. I'm currently running a Choose your Own adventure game. It might seem a little daunting bit all you really need to do is skip to the last story post and then vote for your choice using the Reactions. We also have a chit chat too.

We are still waiting at the door. What's the matter? Does no one speak elvish?

Morning. So kind of you all to stop posting when I went to bed lol

Bedtime for me. Play nice etc etc
