((Out of all the images that could be broken for me, why this one?  ))

((Bah. Try fishing the URL out and going there directly? Or I could try again/on a different site.))

[Scelly9]

Arianna, with a weapon this time!

As you might notice, the torso came out better than the limbs, because the torso was an attempt to capture her floor tile lacquered armor, whereas her limbs were generic This Is Totally How Armored Limbs Look limbs.

In related news, I had totally intended to cannibalize my current crappy armor for cloth and make something better later. Unfortunately it seems my rendition of floor tile armor looks pretty cool when it's on crude chibis and such, so now I might have to reinforce it and turn it into more permanent gear instead.

[Flying Dice]

((S'working for me now. And ye gods is it terrifying. HUGS FOR THE HUG GOD, SNUGGLES FOR THE SNUGGLE THRONE!))

((Everyone loves Irony's fanart. Just like Cael's and SC's. :3))

[Skyrunner]

Azastre, Kahn, Ire, and Sandra head towards floor 12.
Whether A and K listen to I's information gathered is up to them.

Ace 1 slips away from the dragonoid, who looks at him.

He goes up the stairs everyone else is going up.

Rod 5 is responded to by: "Yes, but no looting. I've got my eyes on yer dirty hands, fellow."

Is that.. friendly? o.o

Arianna remembers that two-handed weapons apply one-and-one-half the attack bonus to attacks. (...at least from now on.)

4 There is a fine collection of silk here and there, ranging from course-made silk with many empty holes and threadbare areas, to thickly loomed luxurious silk. There are various colors available. A roll is one gold mark.

Sapphires are one gold mark per centimeter of diameter.
All metal is sold in ingots of a kilogram each. Gold ingots are worth their weight in coins; ie, about 63 tower marks for an ingot of gold. Silver is worth 1/5 its weight in coins, 13 tower marks. Bronze costs a coin an ingot. Platinum costs slightly more than its weight in coins, 70 coins per ingot.
The seller says all of the metals Arianna asked for except bronze is pretty useless as armor. He does say that it'll be much better than using pieces of railing as ingredients. For armor, you need three ingots (...no one knows where the rest of the mass comes from >_<).

Jack 4 asks.

The man points to the plain staircase, which about six people are going up, five of whom Jack knows.

((Please don't ask why three bars of metal make a whole piece of armor xD Also don't ask why gold makes a surprisingly good weapon, of +2~+3. Maybe the Creator forgot the INORGANIC_MAT_HARDNESS data files when he made the world? >.>))

[Spinal_Taper]

Disregard this.

[Skyrunner]

(Whoops)

Floor Twelve is a dim room, again round like floors one through ten. It has many broken shards of a white material, large as a human arm and sharp at the end. The black tiles are smooth and matte; a non-glossy sea of black squares. A single figure stands in the middle of the floor, a man wielding a wide, long blade with a single hand. His figures are strangely gaunt and white. After a moment of observation, you can see that he has no flesh, only skin and bone. His eyes are missing, leaving only an empty space that is dark. His thin arms, knobby and pale, impossibly also seem strong. Getting your neck between one of his hands would probably kill you for sure. He wears simple armor of leather mixed with mail.

He groans in a desolate voice, "Who are you ...? Where am I? Who am I?"

The sword in his right hand gleams evilly.

[Spinal_Taper]

Ace glances around at the others with him, looking somewhat nervous. Upon noticing that there were officially three women there, he fills with courage and approaches the figure. Before speaking he glances back, checking to make sure they were watching them.

"I am Ace McChance, gunslinger. You are within Skytower, a massive tower filled with treasure and magic. I do not know who you are, but I believe that you are not human. You have no flesh, only skin and bone."

((Well somebody's getting themselves a new bowling ball.

Though in all seriousness now I want a sapphire warhammer. :3))


Arianna smiled at the selection before her. Truly, this was a grand marketplace.

Her first order of business was to acquire a proper weapon. In this case, "proper" meant "beyond compare"; she was sparing no expense on her new implement, a one-handed +9 sword.

She spent some time picking her weapon out, hoping to find a particularly pleasing example. Ideally, what she wanted was a claymore that could be wielded in one hand, silver in color and with a sapphire set in the hilt. Less ideally, just about anything would suffice. She gladly paid out the 225 marks for her new acquisition and checked whether it came with a scabbard.

Next, on to silks. She suspected high quality cloth wouldn't be in much demand on her travels, but she also didn't doubt it'd be in short supply. First, though, she was a little rusty on her measurements, and so inquired as to how much each roll would make; or alternatively, how many rolls she'd need for a set of clothing.

Finally, gems. She first checked to see if her grosling took a fancy to any of them- if he liked gemstones, perhaps she could buy him some to play with, or fashion him a tiny circlet or necklace set with one.

Then she bluntly asked if they carried sapphires in the ~20cm across range, something large enough to form the head of a maul.


Purchase one-handed +9 sword. Ideally one that looks like a silver claymore with a sapphire in the hilt, but not a problem otherwise.

Inquire how much each roll of silk makes, or how many rolls it would take to make a set of clothing.

Check if grosling likes shiny gems.

Check if they have sapphires large enough to form the head of a maul (~20 cm across?).

Purchase 46cm diameter sapphire. They have one in the back.

((Assumes a roughly rectangular slab 46cm across at its longest; if they only come in roughly spherical I may need one closer to the 20cm range.))

Azastre stares at the strange man/creature, obviously confused.

Azastre checks if his robot followed him, answers the man's questions then proceeds to search for lootables.

Kahn decided it would be prudent to stay the hell away from Zalgo there and instead quietly looked around for some stairs up, making sure to keep the guy in his line of sight at all times.

Ire looked at the others with a  expression, hoping they heard her story about Backal before facing the figure. "We're explorers from the villages near this place, I'm guessing we're in what's called the Sky Tower, from what we know.

"As for you...do you remember your name and...what you are?" She ignored the obvious energy from the sword.

Ask. Train Diplomacy.

"Hey Azastre, when will your Kestrel wake up?"

Spoiler: Ire Fidel (click to show/hide)

Age:27
Gender:Female
Appearance: Ire is a tall woman with jet black hair that falls to shoulder length, tied in a braid. She has dark brown eyes that match her light complexion. She is garbed in a light grey cloak with leather armor underneath.
Background: Known to be a deviant person, Ire was brought up with knowledge of the law and it's rapport with the common people. Living her life as a lone vigilante in the prime cities, stopping would-be-muggers and thieves, she has learned most of her own skills from the people she tracks.

Ironically, she has never taken a life nor stolen without repaying back, in anyway whatsoever.

Due to all this, she is partly allergic to rope.
