The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread

1517, Auvergne, France: The Duc d'Auvergne is hosting an elaborate gathering culminating in a masquerade ball in his palace in Vyones, to which he has invited quite a few notable people. Travelers from throughout Europe and North Africa are in attendance to see and be seen. But there are some strange unseen things lurking behind the scenes that may put everyone in danger. Can Story, Elizabeth, Brook, and others attending the party unravel the mysteries and prevent madness from reigning supreme?

This is Classic Doctor Who meets Call of Cthulhu, the sixth of a series of connected adventures set in different eras and locations that includes The Terror Out of Time, The Ninth Planet, The Shadow Over Dunwich, The Brotherhood of Death, and The Horror in the Blackout.

Once there's a post saying which way Brook goes, I'll split the thread and let all of you know what you see.

Maybe Brook would like to back Elizabeth up with small-talking the guard. Brook generally has a smart answer for everything.

It's up to her new player. I don't want to make the decision for him, and you could also make the case that Brook likes to sneak around. Once he finishes catching up on the current adventure and posts for her, I can get the game moving. Reading the previous adventures can always be done later.

Mr H, hope you don't mind but I assumed Jacques could jump across to Elizabeth's thread as he could see her.

I'd prefer if you posted in your own thread that you're headed that way. Then I'll merge the threads into a new one.

For the new players, you can find instructions on how to use the built-in dice roller in this thread, and you can also test the roller there. You're also free to roll physical dice or use some other online dice roller and post the results if you prefer.

Mr H,

Saw this and thought would amuse you if you haven't seen it already.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that before. Probably better to use the mechanical lion than the automaton. ;)

I meant to send it toward the king of France. But, yeah, I'm sure the automaton would be safe. ;)

Gui may be as religious as the next man in the 18th C but as he's in the early 16th Century, he better start finding some religious devotion!!

Is Gui secretly from the 18th century?! Perhaps Story et al weren’t the only ones to arrive on the Tardis? 😉

Everyone's posted up, I just need to find enough time to split the thread and update. I should definitely have time this weekend if I don't have a chance beforehand, but I'm hoping I can in the next night or two.

No problem. Elizabeth has been teaching everyone how to play noughts and crosses and hangman in the meantime.

Well, my plans didn't work out for me. My computer got hacked on Wednesday. Someone got in somehow and activated BitLocker to lock me out of it. I eventually got back in on Saturday after Microsoft support walked me through creating a USB drive to reinstall Windows 10, which took a lot of time. They wouldn't give me the 48-digit BitLocker recovery key that I would have needed to unlock it. Still, my files were in the cloud and thus were still there, but I needed to reinstall and reconfigure all my applications, which I'm still not done yet. I was busy today too, but I should be able to update tonight.

I'm planning to move things forward this weekend, probably Sunday, unless someone wants to do something first.
