More meditation occurs ... Story: You settle into a calm position beside the elemental mechanism and close your eyes. This time, you focus not on the power of the tide—but on the stillness between waves, the quiet presence of life within. You reach inward, searching for the thread of Spirit that weaves through all elements. The Orb of Purity hums faintly at your side, amplifying your intention. For a moment, you feel something awaken—a subtle pulse, like a heartbeat in the flow of magic. Though faint, the connection is there. The water surrounding you no longer feels separate; it listens. You feel your affinity for Spirit begin to grow. Updated Stats: HP: 20 / 20 EP: 10 / 10 Elemental Strengths: Air: 1 Water: 9 Fire: 1 Earth: 1 Spirit: 2 Inventory: Basic Adventurer Kit Rations (3 packs) Magical Revive Stones (3) Orb of Purity Adept’s Charm Shimmering Amulet Small pouch of coins (10 copper) Fully Deciphered Scroll (Water Barrier) Spell Book: Aqua Surge (Level 8) Water Barrier (Level 1) Outcome of the Choice: Through meditation, your connection to Spirit has begun to grow. You now possess Spirit Level 2, opening the door to deeper magical resonance. Next Choices: Attempt to activate the elemental mechanism using Water and Spirit together. Continue meditating to further increase Spirit strength. Explore the Flow Path now that Spirit is awakened. Investigate the Orb of Purity for hidden spiritual properties. Leave the mechanism and save your progress for later.
And so we're back to sports again lol
We check some more Story: You kneel beside the revealed mechanism and focus on the glowing runes. The circular pattern surrounding them pulses gently, echoing the rhythm of flowing water. With careful study, you begin to recognize the meaning behind the symbols—an ancient sequence tied to balance and elemental convergence. The central rune reads “Only through stillness may the tide part.” You decipher that this mechanism isn’t simply a lock—it’s a test. If activated with the correct elemental intent, it may temporarily merge the qualities of multiple paths, unlocking a hidden chamber meant for those who walk in harmony with the elements. The runes indicate a required resonance between Water and Spirit… which you currently lack the strength to fulfill.

Next Choices: Use Water magic only to see if a lesser function activates. Continue to the Flow Path and return later. Begin building your connection to Spirit through meditation. Mark the mechanism and proceed to explore another area. Attempt a magical workaround using relics and focus.

Pretty much people HAD to have sex, either because the Pattern demanded it or they were tied to a bed with ribbons lol
We very wisely decide to check for mechanisms Story: You take time to examine the grand hall more closely, moving carefully between the crystal-lit pillars and along the smooth, damp walls. Faint carvings line the stone, mostly worn with age—but a few catch your eye. You brush away sediment and find symbols related to elemental focus and ritual pathways. Near the center of the hall, beneath a raised dais, you uncover a small panel with a swirling design—a concealed mechanism. When touched, it clicks softly, revealing a circular recess and a set of matching runes that shimmer in time with your water magic. It looks like this mechanism responds to specific combinations of elemental energy. If the right pattern is used, it might alter or unlock one of the temple paths.

Next Choices: Use your Water magic to activate the mechanism. Try channeling mixed elemental energy (e.g., Water + Spirit). Study the runes further to understand the mechanism's purpose. Ignore the mechanism and continue to one of the three paths. Mark the mechanism’s location and come back later.
VLDL... The gift that just keeps on giving
Dangers are made up but the game has suddenly asked if we want to set our spawn and check for hidden mechanisms *regular background music changes to danger music*

Welcome to DM Stormy 🙂 Here you will find spirited discussions about the WoT books and the TV show We also have our Social Orgs, where you get to hang out like you are part of the WoT world. Beware Bob in the Moat. He's feeling grumpy because he now has many children asking for pocket money. and we also have Mafia firing back up a bit and some other random games. These games never go horribly wrong and always work perfectly well thank you. Mafia is a sign up thing. The next game is full but you have the option to play along in the Dead Thread PM Other games on here you can just jump in and join at any time 🙂
Maybe we could also check for traps
Oh, I want that donkey song from Encanto for the pressure chamber. ***** Story: Before venturing deeper, you kneel at the temple threshold and dip your fingers into a shallow basin where condensation gathers. With deliberate motion, you draw a sigil upon the smooth stone floor—a spiraling glyph of protection and presence, inscribed in water. The mark pulses once with a soft glow, anchoring your essence to this place. You feel a gentle thread of magic tie you to the temple, ensuring that if danger arises, your connection here will remain.

Next Choices: Enter the Flow Path – marked by gentle currents and graceful movement. Enter the Depth Path – marked by dark waters and unseen pressure. Enter the Pressure Path – marked by cascading falls and forceful magic. Investigate the main hall for hidden mechanisms or lore. Meditate briefly at the sigil to strengthen your connection.
Yeah, anyone else feeling this? ... fields and fields of black poppies...
Maybe water can also be a weapon? ***** Story: Empowered by your new mastery over the Water Barrier spell, you rise from the shoreline and return to the towering entrance of the Temple of Tides. The runes above the arch glow faintly in response to your presence, recognizing your readiness. You step inside. Cool, damp air surrounds you as the stone walls close in behind. Gentle light filters through crystal-lined arches overhead, casting rippling reflections on the floor. Ahead lies a grand hall divided into three passages—each marked with different elemental sigils: Flow, Depth, and Pressure. A faint sound of rushing water echoes from each corridor, but the energies within feel distinct.

Next Choices: Enter the Flow Path – marked by gentle currents and graceful movement. Enter the Depth Path – marked by dark waters and unseen pressure. Enter the Pressure Path – marked by cascading falls and forceful magic. Investigate the main hall for hidden mechanisms or lore. Leave a water-marked sigil in the entrance to anchor your magic here.
We should send Zander
You can't Loot the Guardian! ***** Story: You remain by the sea, eyes closed, allowing the waves to wash around you as you channel your elemental connection inward. The memory of the Water Sage lingers in your mind—fluid movements, protective intent, and harmony with the element. You let that vision guide you, weaving your magic in slow, deliberate layers. The unstable spell begins to resonate more clearly. Glyphs from the scroll echo in your thoughts, snapping into clarity. A glowing thread of water curls around your hands, forming a protective veil. When you open your eyes, the water lingers a moment—whole and controlled—before fading gently back into the tide.

Your Water strength increased to Level 9. Next Choices: Enter the Temple of Tides now fully prepared. Test the new spell in a real-world situation near the water. Search the beach and cliffs for more magical traces or relics. Return to the Guardian of Balance to report your progress. Rest and regain focus before advancing further.
The Guardian of Balance is the dude from the start of the Adventure who gave us the 'just in case Turin kills you' stones

Am just imagining you all walking into the game with a theme song now lmao
Ok we gonna ask the ocean *** Story: You walk down to the shoreline and kneel in the sand, placing the scroll before you and closing your eyes. As the tide gently rolls in, you open your senses and focus on the rhythm of the water, breathing in time with the waves. The Orb of Purity begins to glow softly, resonating with your intent. A vision begins to form in your mind—a memory left behind by a long-lost Water Sage. You see a figure forming a wall of shimmering liquid to shield a group from falling debris. As the vision fades, you feel a flicker of understanding settle into your mind. Though still not fully formed, the Water Barrier spell begins to take shape.

It now exists in unstable form and needs further refinement. Next Choices: Enter the Temple to seek full knowledge of the Water Barrier spell. Continue meditating to stabilize the spell further. Visit the Guardian of Balance to seek guidance on advanced spell recovery. Practice the unstable version in a safe setting near the water. Set the scroll aside and resume your quest.
