Tonights run was very strange indeed. Normal up to the point directly before I was to lead Desdemona into the trap room.
As I was about to proceed, an small ambush seemed to spawn on top of me. I got stunned - and I saw some of Des's pets chase after some. In any event, I had told the league of the ambush, and then noticed the words -Alpha Crystal Destroyed, followed by Gamma Crystal Destroyed, and in just a moment - the trap had been sprung in all 4 corners - and yet, Des still hadn't entered the room.
And, when she did, she went to her normal spot, as if waiting for the crystals to be destroyed. But, because they were already gone - she never got the queue to proceed.
I tried to self-destruct - that did no good.
I filed a petition, and a GM came but was unable to assist. (predictable)
We still won the trial without Des - which took me by complete surprise.
the IDF's wanton use of explosive devices has induced a rapid evolutionary development among the Devouring Earth biomass, leading to the creation of the Detonating Seedlings. These new creatures are shell-less, unstable ectoplasmic orbs that spawn from the biomass lining the Avatar's chamber and that explode like the IDF devices did. However, the blast area of each explosion covers the entirety of the Avatar's chamber, and the detonation occurs automatically, regardless of proximity. The only way to survive the onslaught of these "bomblings" is to collapse around Desdemona and gain the benefits of the Ember Shroud.
I had read that and assumed you could not survive without Desdemona - apparently, this is not the case. As, I did not die in the chamber, and Desdemona was not there. She was still by the right corner where we tackle the pair of AVs (we had the gm move her there, but he was unable to move her to the final chamber, for whatever reason).
