Relic Sweeper 2 - by skyironsword

[Submachine]

A quick question: If I get in view range of the middle items, will those item tiles that were already pilfered by other players be updated without stepping on them? Or will they show that there is still an item, even if it was picked up already.

They will update privately.

Spoiler for Lore:

UTAlan was not prepared for gymnastics.

Monsters? Sword in its sheath, gun in his hand. Getting lost? He'd brought a compass, though it was spinning in random directions. Fire? Well, he could run pretty fast.

But UTA was not expecting to long jump across a five foot gap so that he could reach the other side of a spike-filled chasm. It wasn't until he heard a shriek that he realized that he'd landed on someone's hand.

Glancing down into the pointy abyss, he noticed a stereotypical-looking young man frantically trying to scrape his way back up the smooth wall of the pit. UTA reached downwards, using his backpack as an anchor. His foot never left Schadel's hand as UTA hoisted him up.

Schadel looked awfully happy to have his face in contact with a floor. After briefly expressing his gratitude, he hoisted his bag back to its proper position and began walking briskly away from his savior.

"Wait."

Expectant look.

"We could work together."

And so they did.

Day 3 is over.

Let's not bother sky with this, so I'm asking the players. It has happened twice now that player HP and EN stats were different on the public/global grid than on the personal/team grid. Could each team personally check their own stats to lessen sky's workload?

Spoiler for Lore:

Linkcat had always loved a good adventure.

Unfortunately, in the metropolis of Etheria, there weren't many chances for adventure. There were no orc-filled caves, quarantined zombie prisons, or plane-related terrorist attacks. So when he saw the flyer for the world's second Relic Sweeper competition, he knew he had to participate.

Sub wasn't interested, of course. He always cared for himself first, even if it only cost him $3.99 and a bit of dignity. (Link didn't use protection that day.)

But to Link, an adventure wasn't really an adventure unless you had something at stake. It had been quite the adventure so far. A boulder had nearly flattened him the moment he stepped into the maze. Then he'd found an important-looking red button. When he pushed it, a minigun popped out of the wall and nearly riddled him with bullets. Sometime after that, there was a chest that tried to eat him alive. That one brought back some memories.

Right now, he was attempting to escape a creepy looking ghost that simply would not leave.

Get out... Get out of the maze... His maze...

He turned right, running through a room full of strange symbols.

This is... not your... your place...

Left, through a hallway with four doors on each side.

Trespasser...

Left again, into... a wall. A dead end.

As Link prepared to put his video game kiting skills to use, a blue laser pierced through the space where the ghost was mere moments before.

"Your uncle was in town." explained one mildly irritated Submachine.

Don't nerf Velocity

If someone activates a switch that is outside my Vision, but I can see the switch on the map, do I see it updated?

Can I craft two Rejuve Potions into a Rare Candy?

It's not strictly a nerf, it'll work better with Swiftness but worse with Slowness.

Tiles only update if within your Vision radius.

You can't craft with the wrong ingredients.

Spoiler for Lore:

Dawn watched the glowing black orb nervously as it floated into the air. He drew his bow tentatively.

He'd been minding his own business in this maze when he tripped over it. Well, he wasn't actually minding his own business at the time. He was actually hiding from someone he'd almost shot. They looked like a goblin or something. Bad lighting.

The black orb stopped rising at about eye level. Every few seconds, it would pulse slightly, casting a bit of grayish light. Suddenly, it flew to his left and began to circle him.

Dawn let go of the bowstring in surprise. The arrow found itself buried in the ceiling. He briefly contemplated building a makeshift staircase to reach the buried arrow, but thought better of it. He had enough arrows.

"Now look at what you've done," Dawn complained to the sphere.

The orb thankfully remained silent as it continued to spin around his head. The spinning was making him dizzy, to be honest. He reached out to stop it, but the orb simply rose a foot and continued to circle. Maybe if he just didn't look at it too much.

"On we go."

The orb did not respond.

Thankfully.

Day 5 is over.

Spoiler for Lore:

Schadel scratched his arm idly. "What are the blue specks?"

"Points of interest." UTA gestured to one of the blue dots on his map. "There was a huge sword here, but I got chased away by a man-eating blob."

"And the brown area?"

"Huh? I think that's a coffee stain. Ignore that."

So far, the truce between UTA and Schadel had proved rather effective. UTA would deal with all the traps and monsters, while Schadel planned out their route. The team had found a room with a wooden picnic table, where they decided to take a break. UTA's family map was the current topic of discussion, serving as both a plan and a path.

The map had been brought back by his grandfather, one of the participants of the first Relic Sweeper. The different areas of the Relic Maze were categorized by their color on the map. Despite some beverage-related difficulties, the map was generally accurate enough for some level of planning.

"Maybe there's something good at the center of the maze." Schadel pointed at a blank spot, where UTA's grandfather had apparently never ventured.

"If there is, then--"

UTA was rudely interrupted by an arrow soaring two inches in front of his nose. He froze.

"Uh, sorry," came a decidedly male voice. "You looked like a goblin or something. Bad lighting."

By the time Schadel turned to look at their assailant, he was gone.

Day 6 is over.

[CleanOnion]

I'm a little confused about .

Currently, the public grid tells us it's Day 6. But we don't know if the move's we've been submitting over the past day were for Day 6 or for Day 5.

So I guess what we're asking is - does a Day consist of Moves and then Grid Update, or Grid Update and then Moves?

More specifically, how many sets of moves until the Rare Relics appear? 2 Days, sure - but is that 2 sets of Moves, or 3 (including this one)?

It would help immensely if your posts in this thread were labelled with which Day they refer to.

Thank you sky We love you!

[skyironsword]

Update, then moves. It is currently Day 6.

Therefore, the Rare relics will appear on Day 8, before you move.
