I'd bump it up to more like a day for building the wall. The outside presence of our fort is not currently that big. From the map I'd estimate an area about the size of an american football field, maybe a little wider.

No, I say 6 hours. As we already have a curtain wall that Sauraine made in the first 10 posts.

Well, the obsidian tower is going to be 153 meters (51 tiles) to a side. We needed a defensive perimeter around that. Nothing's going to keep flyers out short of an army of marksdwarves, though.

@ Corai: Quote please? Couldn't find any construction in the first 10 posts.

We'd be setting up a quick, small perimeter to last through the current hostilities, then tearing it down to build the main fortifications when things are quiet.

That's what firecracker based net launchers are for silly!  Light the fuses, and watch the birdies get all tangled up!

*knows how to tie fishing nets. It goes surprisingly fast, especially if the netting is good and wide.*

I think it would be ridiculous to just build an entire fortress in the space of a few hours especially if done in the middle of battle.

But we're not under attack currently. Just some thieves/spies/assassins. Next update, maybe...

[Corai]

We are setting up a home. I'm working on walls and defenses.

I'll edit this when I find the other posts. I got 40 pages to look through.

You underestimate Reudh's masonry skills.

[WillowLuman]

Just hoping things don't get too ridiculous, though. I'm just afraid that we'll reach the point where we beat enemies by rapidly tunneling under them in seconds or building prisons around the enemy mid-battle. That would be god-modding and frankly too cartoonish.

[wierd]

Thaks to you, whenever I hear of masonry, I think "forced ejection."

[Corai]

You underestimate Reudh's masonry skills.

Thanks to you, I name every legendary mason i get "Reudh"


I have no Reudhs yet.

[WillowLuman]

Reudh, master of the forbidden art of "masonry"

BTW, where the hell have Kofthefens and Loud Whispers gotten to? And Saurinae for that matter...

Weird, we need to continue our scene.

[Oliolli]

Going back to pages 134 & 135, a bit about Oliolli.

I established oliollis as Armok's strike force in the previous thread. Basically that means that oliollis will fight in multiple places and times, even in different dimensions if the need arises. Oliolli is a veteran of many places, thus he knows how to fight and is so desensitized that he no longer cares about killing. When in a fight he wont be afraid to fight dirty if it increases his chances of survival or winning. Even so, he will put the safety of those he doesn't want to kill above his own.

In like kind, he doesn't expect anyone to bail him out if he chooses to do something stupid, like get killed, injured, captured, or tortured.  He would verbally berate anyone who would be stupid enough to come rescue him, which doesn't win him any brownie points. He feels experience is the best teacher, and if the proscribed outcome of the stupid choice is death, he expects to die for it. No exceptions.

So if wierd is in danger, captured etc. and Oliolli knows of it, Oliolli wont stop at anything to try to save him. No exceptions. He wont care if wierd doesn't like it.

The main problem with Oliolli is that, despite being an excellent fighter, he prefers to work alone. He'd rather work alone, except if he knows that he can't do it alone, as having other people along may put the others at risk.

After all that he's seen in his life, Oliolli has simply stopped worshipping any gods, refusing to put faith in them. As the world all of this happens in has proof of the existance of gods (and he is actually the express creation of a god) he can't be atheist.

[I don't have the faintest glimmer of a clue as to what the hell's going on here, but "psychophant" is now my Word of the Month.]

-MR FROG IS HERE! Yay! You have about 300 pages to read if you want to know whats going on.-

Make that about 350.

[WillowLuman]

Going to bed now. Hope there's a little to read in the morning.

I agree completely, I want to cut it down too. Was just trying to write ahead of schedule. I'll slow it down to 48 hours. After all, dwarves may only move 50 tiles in the space of a day.

It is entirely possible to find a way to set up a universe so that it sustains itself, but I'd assume that any new plane created in the way you suggest is limited by the interrules of the Magic the Gathering Multiverse. Therefore, the laws of physics would have to be similar to the ones the creator came from, as entirely alien rules would be impossible for them to comprehend or imagine, since their minds are based on the rules of their home. The means of setting up a stable universe are beyond their comprehension, so they have to link it to a power source.

I'm reminded of a certain Discworld passage about parasitic universes, IE small pocket universes that "piggy-back" on their host. They are stable because they take their rules directly from the host.

Weird, I think that something possessed of the means could create it's own universe without upsetting other universes, as by definition a universe is a self-contained system. All the energies of a universe won't leave or leak on their own, and things only go between them via artificial means. Some worlds may be stacked up together, kind of facets of the same universe; this would be "dimensions" or something. Just my opinion, I'd rank all universes together as "Reality," with Universes of similar laws or with common laws affecting things that go between them being Multiverses. A bunch of universes with a common origin (i.e., branching off from a common timeline as alternate legs of the trousers of time) would also be a multiverse. That's just how I classify things, though.

Thank you!  That's exactly what I was trying to say that I was going to do with the other planeswalkers on this thread.
