Nice combo Scipio! You already had early points for week 1 though!
Mew… so close… were you talking or typing those IRC commands? Talking to an IRC ‘bot’ would count for the week 2 ‘Talk to a robot or AI’ task!

obfusc8: I was typing those commands, so it wouldn’t count.
I still have not received the Week 2 teleportation device points from my last post, and it’s affecting my placement on the scoreboard. :o
I earned points in today’s dreams as well. The first dream has me running superhumanly fast and talking to a robot, and while I protect a DC from getting hurt by a moving car, the car wasn’t deliberately aiming for the child, so I am unsure if this counts as an “attack” and leave it to your discretion. The second dream also has me running fast and has me phase through an object, much to my chagrin.
My apologies, Thorn, hopefully everything is fixed and you are back to second place thanks to last night’s points haul! (Protecting a DC from harm is definitely in the spirit of being a ‘Paladin’ so that counts too.)
^ Except now I’m missing the combo points for Week 2, as the first dream had tasks from all three weeks. That’s the third scoring error you’ve made in my column. Don’t make me come over there and beat you up!
In all seriousness, though, I know firsthand how easy it is to slip with the scores; it’s no big deal as long as it’s fixed.
I know. That [color=green]EARLY[/color] was for the early points for week three which I did not already have.
And more points! No lucids, though… I’ll have those tonight I guess. I did FOUR tasks, though! Campfires, stargazing, being the hero, and larceny inside of two dreams.

Thorn -Maybe I did it deliberately, as you said you perform better in the LC when you’re annoyed about something trivial… or maybe I was just tired!
Wow Scipio… Paladin-Fighter-Druid-Wizard-Rogue that’s some serious cross-classing going on there. (Just as well there’s no XP penalty in this game!) Can you complete the set?
I took a nap today, and had a medium length LD. I completed the Shadowcat, and Professor X subtasks. I also did a long jump. Here is my DJ entry [community.ld4all.com/t/drd-tales/39779/34)
Last night I had a medium and a short length LD. I thought I had completed a task, but after checking I realized I didn’t. My DJ
Drd - Nice work! I might have missed some lucid points off your score. Got you down for 2 short, 5 medium and 2 long LDs. Let me know if I missed anything.
Here are two dreams with LC points. The first dream has flight with technological assistance during the non-lucid part, and a medium-length lucid part. The second dream has a medium-length lucid part in which I leap between rooftops.
YAAAAS… It feels so good to have more than one lucid in a week… especially when I just broke ALL MY PREVIOUS RECORDS. All in all, three tasks done, there may have been more, and my LONGEST LD SO FAR!
So yea… I raged and broke something (but that depends on if you take “Happy Raging”… I also phased through a wall (I believe more than once, but I only recall doing it in one scene), and I “spoke” telepathically with a DC.

Thorn - Badass jump, man! I’m giving you an extra 10 ‘creativity’ points for leaping with style (and because the swapping to flight with wings then landing on your face part made me mentally face-palm in sympathy). Also, pretending to be part of the evil sonic tribe counts as being undercover, so I’ve added points for that too.
Scipio - Grats, that was a whole lotta lucid. But what on Earth is a ‘happy’ rage? Sorry, can’t accept that one. It’s got to be berserk out-of-control / anger / ‘seeing red’ to qualify as a barbarian.
New Week’s Tasks and Team advantage will be calculated in roughly 4.5 hours time, so post any other task points before then to be included.
I traveled in a spaceship similar to the Helios from Borderlands. It was orbiting Earth. I saw Earth from space but I couldn’t see stars from that window.
The puzzle team wins this week and gets an extra sub-task.
Action 7 tasks / 4 members = 1.75 completions per member
Adventure 0 tasks / 4 members = 0 completions per member
Puzzle 3 tasks / 1 member = 3 completions per member
Current Standings
Week 4 - Supernatural
The end of October / start of November marks Halloween and Bonfire Night in the UK. Kids dress up as scary monsters and go trick-or-treating. We watch fireworks and light bonfires. So in the spirit of the season, and also because I like scary movies, lets finish off the lucid challenge with some spooky themed tasks.
Scare a dream character. Sneak up on someone and make them jump. Or maybe you’ll transform into a monster in front of their eyes. Send them running in terror! 20 points.
Set off a firework. Time to light up the sky/room or wherever you happen to find yourself. No need for it to be night time, or even outdoors, but you could potentially grab the stargazing task points as well if the conditions are right. 30 points.
Slay a vampire. Time to unleash your inner Buffy and take out those blood sucking monsters. Fighting it isn’t enough, you must cause the vampire to suffer ‘final death’ i.e. stake through the heart, behead it, sunlight, fire, etc. 30 points.
Transform into a wolfman. (And then of course you should let out a blood-freezing howl at the moon.) The action team seemed pretty keen on werewolves during week one, so this time I want a proper eight foot tall, hairy, (wo)man-wolf, sharp-toothed vicious-clawed monster. Arrrrooooooooooo! (Here’s an example picture.) This transformation doesn’t count for the druid task. 40 points.
Meet a professional monster hunter. Scooby Doo, where are you? What about Van Helsing, Ichabod Crane or Sam & Dean Winchester? Mulder and Scully? The Ghostbusters? 30 points.
Enter a haunted house, tomb or graveyard. I’m afraid of no ghost! While you’re there, why not try to complete the monthly quest? 40 points.
Investigate a mystery. Preferably an X-Files / supernatural/paranormal themed mystery, but not essential. 30 points.
Banish a demon. I don’t mind how you get rid of the demon, this is the puzzle team so use your brains! You could try a full on Latin-chanting exorcism, a spell, a magical demon slaying weapon. Maybe you’ll just kick it in the shin and make it run away. No doubt your incredible lucid powers will do the job. 40 points.
Team Advantage Task
Frankenstein - Turn a DC into a monster. You could force the change on them with willpower, or maybe turn yourself into a vampire/werewolf/zombie and bite them. Create a virus and infect them ‘Resident Evil’ style, or raise a corpse from the dead with lightning… whatever works for you. 40 points.
LC Host Task - Trick or treat? I’ve got a bucket of sweets/candy that grant special powers and transformations - just the thing to help you finish the task of your choice. Are you brave enough to try one? Find me and ask for a treat, if you dare! 40 points
Good luck everyone!
In the second dream here, I fire a laser gun as in Week 2’s task.
Darn. I guess my avatar transformation from earlier in the LC into a proper seven foot tall, hairy, dracorn-wolf, sharp-toothed, vicious-clawed monster misses two details and can’t just be done a second time for the points.
Just checking… you are talking about the current Quest, right? The Quest did involve ghosts at first but was changed at the last minute.
Aw man, it’s candy. I thought we agreed we’d meet for beers befitting whatever forms we take in the dream.
Good luck guys
Alrighty. It was berserk out-of-control, though. Was so happy I was lucid I couldn’t stop breaking things. Looks like I’ll just have to remember to be angry next time. That’s gonna be hard given lucidity has the opposite effect.
