Hey, the explores were able to explore R'lehy and even fled back to their boat quickly when Cthulhu woke up. The non-euclidian geometries aren't the problem it's the inhabitants.

Honestly, there are several that seemed like good options, it's just not knowing the specifics of the abilities we would be getting that made me hesitant. Omni-heal sounds great, until you find out it costs twice as much FP as you have.

Oh! Did you mean the prior vote for which gem? That was just the same vote link listed 5 times. So all that happened was voting to swipe the fusion gem, and then it jazzed the character up when they left the Back.

(DX - Stealth) 11 [3]+[6]+[1] = 10 - Success! 「PSI Clouding β」 [-1 FP] You're delirious. Awake and wild with terror, and just as ready to immediately pass out. Instinct sees you twist the blanket inside-out, draping you in the wraith-silk black that makes you blend in with the tremendous glow of the infinitely exploding-and-reforming city of destruction you just escaped. You scuttle-crawl as fast as your weakened limbs allow, clouding yourself hard enough to make a mayfly envious. You just need to get far away enough to not die. Ignore the tremors and licking flamewinds. Ignore that you have no idea why you're here or what's happening. Just run. Instinct. Just hide. Logic. You're over the burning grasses and running for the eerie darkness, just far away now that the city is just a dim hot red glow in the black. You pause and get confused, your brain starting to collate, when you lurch and hold down a scream of shock as your mitochondria flare with unbidden power, as something weird goes wrong with the makeup of your Mana and the spell you've been so graciously leased. (CHEESE!) - With an incredible Target Number of 13! (BURGER!!) - With a first toss of the dice reading 2! (SPIRIT!!!) - With a second toss of the dice reading 6!

[-1 FP] HP: [ 23 / 30 ] FP: [ 1 / 15.▒ ] [About To Pass Out!!] ANXIETY: [ ! ][ ! ][ ! ][ ! ][ ! ][ ! ][70%] There's a terrible bright colorful light, roaring low-quality music, and a whole host of overwhelming smells. You cower under the shroud and weakly whine, too tired to react sensibly to the threat. You peek at what's come of your spontaneous magics.  You can't scream, but you sure want to. Before you can try to control the summon, you're floored by a massive burst of unexpectedly intense power. The cheerful little cheeseburger spirit starts to spin like a roaring star, exuding a rainbow of gold super power, red nuclear fires, and strange blue medicinals. You continue to cower while the music becomes a thousand-voice roar, the greaselight aura expanding big enough to make the airs shake for one brief second. Then it calms down, and hovers over you with a supremely energetic little dance. C!B!S!A! posted:Congratulations valued customer! You've been given access to one of our most experimental and hoped-for features, the Essence of Gluttony update!! By tirelessly working the stressed and calcified mental-associations of the Cheeseburger, left over from countless dead realities from before and plenty of new-world focus testing, we can now confidently say that the Cheeseburger means Life. It means Healing, it means Health, it means Fed and Restored. And it MEANS it! Every bite of any product will be suffused with that all-important ingredient of concept-associations, and we give you our power and promise that it can be artificially maintained with no stress or cost. As a compliment to you for your value and tireless beta testing, we'd like to retract the Ampoule Burger, and allow you to try one of our superior, top-line, Dark-level restorative burger products. Just say the Magic Words to help encourage the product's optimal manifestation for your immediate-gratification consumption!! You stare with your one open eye, your body splayed and ready to fade. But the mega-power spirit animal shines text above itself with halo script and majesty, and you realize you just need to say it and you'll get a helpful burger. So with tire-slur and crown-addled speech, you babble the Magic Words out loud- 'I love you, Cheese Burger Spirit Animal.' ... You start to black out, but then actually do scream when the floating cheeseburger blasts you with golden light, making you feel for just a split second like boiling hot grease, before an uncomfortably warm radiance makes you sit up with a bad shock of energy. The light is... Mana-arrays carefully printing the burger into your lap, as you watch slack-mouthed and sleepy. It finishes, and sits there in your hand, hot and ready. It's uh. It's just a plain old cheeseburger. Looks good, smells good, but you don't see the hype. You may as well use the last of your strength to eat some and hope you wake up in time to not be killed. You weakly bite into it. Huh. C!B!S!A! posted:Cheese'burger' - Experimental superhealing item cooked in the essences of Heroes. When eaten, you recover about 50 HP. 100% beef.

You're suddenly aware you're awake and calmly eating the burger, feeling plain as rain is day. You stare around where you sit on a dark wet rock, and then get concerned. Your memory is trying to connect to you again. There's a lot, and all you can access right now is a nagging need to get back to your hideout as fast as possible. But that instinct isn't what has you concerned. It's the sky. Right now it's certainly sometime past dawn, and there is some light, but the sky. It's not right. Something feels extremely not right.  It's pure black.

[No. No, that can't be happening. But the sky. And the music is gone. Just the wind sound. It doesn't make sense.] [The character should be immediately dead of starvation if the game thinks it's been this long. But they're not. That means some clock systems are confused, but others aren't, and the absolute worst timer is going off.] [It can't be it. It can't. Not like this. That's the evil part; it's not a matter of passing time in the game before it happens. It's a matter of real-life time passed. Could be 5 minutes left. An hour. A day. Even more. Nothing to do but claw the keys and wait. There has to be a cheat. Has to be something.] [Think of where to go. Where did it all first go wrong?]  [...at the start in the Holy Land.]

You're running. The certainty is lashing over you in thick-segment cords. You did something bad. You did something unforgivable. It's completely on you. The thoughts invade and intrude, finest chain mesh slicing up your skull. You hold your mouth to not shout as you rush through the gray darkness, the world in hiding from what it knows is about to happen. You need to hide. You need to hide, because now you can hear it now and you know- "CHILD!" Angry. Oh, oh she's so ANGRY. The wind; it's her pale swathes, rippling as she comes for you! You redouble the effort to not scream. Why is she angry? You don't think about that, because there's never been a point. If she's angry and wants to harm you, then she has a reason for it. You did something wrong, and now she's going to kill you. You always knew that no matter how hard you tried or what you accomplished, you were going to be punished and hated. Even if you accept this, you can't stop running. You devolve into the ice of your panic, tearing hands ahead through the forests as it echos from miles distant in pursuit. "CHILD!" You burst out into the grand field next to the river, and know that you have to rush north as quick as you can. There's only one place you can think to hide. One place where it feels that her desire will become uncertain. Thought's left every aspect; stomach is cold stone. Muscles are liquid fire. Brain is dissolving into fine mist. Nerves are thinned to pure airspeed. Perception is dimmed to a tunnel. Will bent all-black towards Hell's hope of an escape. Run. Run, you guilty fool. Dig your feet in. Think of the days of corridor and trench, of sky-fire and crawling chaos. Of how adrenaline can make you ignore every useless thought. "CHILD!" She knows. She's nearly here. She's beyond angry! You can hear it keen- a scythe, elongated with intent! Your legs mash and your bones micro-fracture with the force, kicking up grass and dew as the gray shadows part, and the Holy Land comes into view. You begin to curve wide left, bubbles frothing from your mouth as your lungs explode with the hyper-oxygenated effort. Still you refuse to scream, even as her shrieking voice washes over you with the final dark of the heart. "CHILD!" There it is. The only place you know where to hide. Your blurred vision sharpens with hyperfocus on the changes to the Holy Land; north, you can make out strange wood structures overgrown with heavy leaves. East, you can see a bunch of silent solar plates, aimed to the black sky. But you don't accept them as anything but blips of visual information. What matters is your hiding spot, to the far west end. "CHILD!"  You know that if you look now, you'll see her in the furthest distance, white spot in the black. You know that she can see you. She can always see you. Your numb hand reaches for the wood stall door, and you remember something she said she had once told Master Polikarp; that she cannot be hidden from under the ground, or in the sea, nor above the air. But you have to try this one thing. A single desperation. You get in the stall and slam the door locked, just as her presence roars into the Holy Land. "CHILD!"

[Made it! With seconds to spare! The only blessing left; abuse of the turn count. When the final moment comes, Śmiercią cannot be impeded. Her speed maxes out, allowing her to cover entire map distances in seconds. If she has a clear line of sight to you, it's instant death, no matter how fast you are. But therein is the chance of abuse; while no obstacle can stop her, she does have to spend time navigating them to keep moving. Which means that something as simple as a closed door will force her to interact with it, making her stop moving for a single precious clocktick. In this way, you can get her directly next to you without her killing you until you've taken a single action.] [Have to make that one act count.]

Okay, we know she has to take an action to open the door. So all we have to do is take an action to close the door, and repeat this cycle until the timer runs out and she decides she has better things to do with her time.
