Excellent details! They wouldn't like to be absent from the birthday of Third Mother, which is coming in three weeks, right?


And that's the mindset I'm trying to achieve, too.
(Which is also part of the reason why the modern ideas that one should look for the author's reasons to include something from an OOC perspective are grating for me. But let's not digress).

May the gods smile upon the soul of M.A.R "Phil" Barker, a.k.a. "Firu ba Yeker"!

Roll percentile dice; let me know if you're under your dexterity or over, please.

Why, yes, they are...

Understood...

It's under! I rolled 49 for Dexterity and 37 on the check.

What does the "understood" line refer to, the mindset or the call to the gods.

Great! The green gem stops glowing, the vapor stops being emitted, and the red gem starts glowing. If you do nothing, after a while the red gem stops glowing and all is as before.

Both, I think.

I push it gently forward from the side with the fan, using the mace as before.


I hope the salutation didn't offend. My personal philosophy about death is sometimes hardly palatable to people for reasons (part of which might be genetic) so I'm actually worried about it sometimes.

Indeed, but one should also account for the possibility that the same design was used by the Lords of the Humanspace for other things. And we know they weren't Nice People.
So, caution and experimentation were advised, despite suspecting that it's a steam cleaning machine of some sort, and because I didn't get that it's trying to clean clothes.

Nothing happens. The thing is sitting on the floor.

No offense taken or assumed. Having been dead for a bit, some years back, I have my own opinions on the subject.

No, not really. You do smell - roll percentile dice, please.
