un: Ganymede - Mithrun's case

[ganymed]

...What does have everyone have now?

It's been more than two days now since what happened.

Whatever everyone has been finding out, we should put it together, or something like that. Even as new information comes in.

As for me, I took a look at the bloody trail of footprints, which I confirmed to be Mithrun's. He didn't seem to be in any much of a rush, like he wasn't paying much mind or attention to where he was going either.

The trail of blood was only a mess due to the amount of traffic, as it is, without adding to any more prints as NPCs don't leave footprints.

Anyone else have anything more?

yeah

maybe the two of them got into a fight at the casino over something. mithrun isn't normally that disoriented so maybe something happened. 0koto said he wanted to try out alchemy. maybe that?

if he wasn't doing well when he entered the gate that might be why he looks so hurt. the monsters could have done some of it.

i just dont get why that would kill him in the root town. poison?

[ganymed]

Probably some kind of poison, at the least, and something in there involving a fish.

It starts in Lumina Cloth in the Casino, then maybe there's a retreat to the Gate, he goes to the dungeon which turns out bad, but then he makes his return...?

[dissimulative]

i know that theres poison implemented in the game at least
my special gear has a poison effect

[ganymed]

Which kind of leads back to that thorn item thing too, in my opinion. It could be the source of the poison.

[dissimulative]

a thorn thing that could have poison in it........
like a barb?

[ganymed]

That's right. Something exactly like that.

[dissimulative]

..........
do you think that maybe he ate something really stupid
i wouldnt put it past him to eat a monster that hasnt been defeated

[ophidie]

I think he was already injured when he entered Lumina Cloth, based on the trail.

[ganymed]

...Then he'd already be sporting injuries before he met up with that other player, you mean?

[gluttoning]

the npcs didnt say anything about him being injured until he was leaving the casino, right?

[ganymed]

That's right, they didn't.

[ophidie]

If that's what happened, then it's definitely possible.

I don't think the crane game machine was broken in any way, even if there was blood on it. So it couldn't have cut him.

[gluttoning]

there's headhunters in the dungeon. that could explain his neck.

[threatmewted]

Alchemists can make a potion that causes confusion and messes with your controls.

[gluttoning]

maybe that would explain why he couldnt find the gate

but i don't know if there was anything left anywhere to prove that

[threatmewted]

I don't even know if it WOULD leave behind signs. It's just a game effect after all.

[ophidie]

Sorry, I'm still thinking about the order of events. I'll keep mulling it over. Maybe if someone who's using the alchemy system weighs in, I might have more to go off of.

I've never heard of or seen anything like that Area. It leads me to wonder if something is wrong with it. He was walking around for a long time, wasn't he...? If we believe that NPC.

Do you think something made it so he wasn't able to heal? If that was the case, your inclination would be try and "reset" the process, wouldn't it?

[ganymed]

What do you mean by reset? Log out?

[ophidie]

No.



Die.

Logically...you'd hope that you'd respawn uninjured as normal. Right?

[ganymed]

I think it'd be easier to just log out at that point, wouldn't it?

Trying to 'reset' by dying sounds like it'd make it more difficult.

[ophidie]

I would. It's what I would do.

I don't spend a lot of time looking for bugs or looking at the limitations of the game, though. There may have been a difference in thought process.

Respawning would be extreme, I admit, so I guess I jumped a little to far ahead of myself.

[userunfriendly]

There is precedent for log out errors, and attempting to reset the state with a respawn. I think we can't rule out the possibility yet.

[gluttoning]

that doesnt seem like him though

he would want to test as much as possible while he felt weird, not respawn

[ophidie]

Maybe I'm overthinking things.



One NPC said they saw a man wandering around confused, and there are those other injuries that can't be explained. Could he have been testing anything else that might have caused those?

[dissimulative]

for the confused part
he got lost often
he was a bit directionally challenged
i didnt think much about what that npc said bc that seemed like his usual self
