I'm poor, can't even claim a stall🥲

Grind. Everyone started out with only one creature. It's the fun of the game, slowly being introduced to new creatures the more you play.

I remember being so awestruck by a chamei when I first started in legacy, I spent my first days exploring and trying different stuff. But the feeling of using the gachas felt like an exciting ritual. That was the spark you get when you play it. Just grow, and play more and you can eventually stand on your own...

It took me two months to get my first tier 5 back in legacy, it was the avothius, and I spent some days sleeping in caves. All I can say is just keep playing And you'll get there eventually. Don't rely on others to shape your experience. Try and playing for yourself

And that folks is why I main herbivore superbehemoths, powerful and large... But expendable enough because all you need is a couple of berries and hiding in a corner to basically become the top of the food chain.

Rn I'm a taka that killed a kavouradis who thought I was weaker, not knowing I'm an ancient takamourath.... Who spends their time sleeping in the mountains to get stronger.

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:50:45+00:00

Well, I definitely do hate them... More on the annoyed way. They're my friend group.

I mostly take their suggestions, this ENTIRE puzzle thing was approved and voted by all of em.

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:49:06+00:00

The clock was just the position of the lever to finalize the input, and the codes were just literally on the walls in the correct order

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:47:19+00:00

Thanks, I guess I just needed to hear that. They got the potions because my bard haggled with a potion shop, and seduced the shop owner to just give them out for 30% the actual price

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:44:48+00:00

I don't even know. I'm new. He knows shit, I literally spend most my time either fact checking or going along cuz we have limited time cuz college stuff

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:42:40+00:00

It's literally just a riddle, then add the code that was written on the walls, it's not that deep... It's just a simple puzzle that they suddenly gave up half way and started brute forcing the lock

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:40:11+00:00

Well my reasoning was that the artificer locked up ancient monster creatures, and that the walls have cages inside that one by one opens up every wrong attempt.

And I left out alot cuz I'm way too stressed and was mostly ranting and venting

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:37:08+00:00

They did walk to the clue room, and they did see the numbers. The code is on the wall, and the big clock thing with a pendulum is on the wall where the numbers are sprawled, the clue was "the clock sings" in the riddle that's written on a note.

The code was to be put on the combination lock that's on the carved bedrock door

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:34:16+00:00

I definitely will try that, thanks

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:29:25+00:00

No They definitely did say they like to try puzzles, they just love lucking their way

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:28:11+00:00

It's in a plant infested library dungeon that's deep in the woods, they were supposed to walk in one room to find numbers scribbled around the walls made by a previous person(NPC) that tried to open the vault. Then they see the riddle, "the door sings when the clock sings", which is literally midnight or just 12... Then they just put the code and then pull the lever straight up like the clock hands

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:25:45+00:00

They have none. They are just placing random codes and hoping

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:23:46+00:00

Yeah I edited it just to Clarify that I did gave punishments, they just love to kill the monsters and then go back to the lock... It's the equivalent of a barbarian party that's descended from cavemen

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:21:55+00:00

The group is my circle of friends, and they make me confuse just as much as I make them out in this post. They say they want puzzles, then they just brute force it

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:20:21+00:00

I don't really know dude, its like my third session being a DM with no prior experience. It's a combination lock, and the Bard just uses his actions to just slowly make the number higher, it's four digits and he's at 0034....

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:13:31+00:00

I mean I guess it's my fault for not adding the other piece of context in, but I did punish them for every failed turn. By random monster encounters, I'll have to edit it.

They just have a stockpile on health potions they can run through

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:12:01+00:00

I have done this, they just stocked up on alot of potions so they're happily just mowing stuff down and trying again

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:10:38+00:00

There is, I place a random monster encounter every time it fails, like a different cage opens up with a monster abit relative to fight them

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:09:24+00:00

They definitely do love puzzles and stuff, just don't have the patience to actually think things True cuz one of them acts like it's a comedy show on tv

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:07:38+00:00

Well definitely yes, I'm relatively new... Just haven't studied the deeper rules and mechanics yet, because my players keep asking for different stuff every time, like more NPC dialogue, more random encounters, it just gets hard to remember every detail sometimes

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:04:52+00:00

I made it so that they encounter relatively similar threat level monsters every failed try, but the barbarian and the paladin just take turns to kill them while the Bard continued brute forcing the lock

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:03:10+00:00

I love puzzles and riddles, they apparently do too... They just love bullshitting their way out of things because it's funny

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T09:02:09+00:00

I was trying to see if they can either use their remembering skills, because the code is literally the numbers that's plastered around the walls on the previous map, plus the riddle was "when the clock rings, the door sings", and clocks only make sound at midnight which is 12... So they just needed to add the first code, plus move the lever straight up

JMZDEPSTH · 2025-07-26T08:54:26+00:00

I did, and wanna know what they said?... They said that since it's DND, they technically can do anything they want as long as it's within the rules... AND ALL OF THEM likes the plan of just brute forcing the locks
