Welp. ...Actually, I can use that for good. I wanted to start using a lightning beetle theme thanks to Sparky, that just makes it easier. Maybe I can turn myself into blue diamond, figure out some way to control electricity...

[Harry Baldman]

So does Pariah. So does a lot of people, actually. I'm honestly surprised so many people have diamond stuff, but I can see the reasons why. Same reasons I wanted a diamond ship: Strong, isn't conductive, won't melt easily, can hold an edge (kinda).

Just makes the fact that Glassco has complete and utter control over diamond a valuable commodity.

Actually, that's kind of incorrect. Diamond isn't all that strong, it's just really hard. So while it's very difficult to cut diamond (and much easier to cut things with it), it isn't that difficult to shatter it. It's reasonably tough, more than most gemstones, but nothing spectacular.

[Xanmyral]

True. So its conductive, can shatter, won't melt easily, and can hold an edge. Still not that bad, and I can use the conductive properties to good use. I realize I misspoke when I said strong, meant hard. I remember seeing once a kind of scale that, while it had diamond as the top on... Hardness was it? I think there was a better term for it, it's rather brittle because of said hardness so it wound up on the bottom of the other, which I believe was 'give' basically.

Either way though, it is the fancy of the day material wise with its abundance in people's persons. I imagine it will go back to steel soon however, given time.

Is it possible to make hybrid materials? I think I remember people trying and just getting the two materials separately.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Those people failed because they didnt include a shape word to bind the elements together.

[Corsair]

((You can bind two elements together its really good for equipment my favourite being obsidian+diamond))

To the fort!

"Sorry sir, no entry unless you're a member or trade partner of Team Bismuth. Anyway, the base is still under construction, so unless you like empty rooms and hallways or you're looking for a safe place to perform experiments, there's not much for you in there."
Firmly but nonviolently deny Fr0stByt3 entrance to the Fort.

((@Unholy: The docks and the forest are in completely different directions. The docks are SSE and the forest is W.))

[Unholy_Pariah]

((According to the map ive got they are both east of the village centre...
Then again my map may be more of a flowchart...))

[Parisbre56]

((Yeah, the flowchart is just that. It doesn't have the correct directions. I've been working on a map of Thaltun based on the information piecewise has provided and I can tell you with certainty that the sea is south.

I'm going to have Syvarris steal that geography scroll from superblast next turn and return it to the scroll room so that people can go there and look for directions. Or I can take it to our fort,  make a scroll room and install a radio circle there with a public frequency so that people who want geography info can just call me on the radio instead of going all the way back to the temple.

That scroll may also be useful to deciphering those forest ruins. I have an idea about what they are but I want to visit them first and then ask the Monk about them.))

Oh... Jixiu's face falls for about .01 seconds before his face brightens again.
Ooh... I'll go.... um... He spins around, walking whichever way he ends up facing. This way! Goodbye, peoples! Try not to die!

[Parisbre56]

"Good luck in your travels sir!" The Doc checked his notes for a while.  "Hmmm... let's see. From what I've heard and seen straight ahead is the beach and the sea. To your right are the docks. To your left is the cave, although I doubt you'll find anything of interest in there. And if you keep following the beach past the cave you should end up in the swamp. From what I've heard nobody has gone to the swamps yet. But they say that beyond the swamps there is something... very interesting. And probably very dangerous too! But so is everything else worth exploring, isn't it?" As he closed his book and begun focusing on his experiments yet again, the Doc added: "And remember, if you ever learn or find anything valuable in your travels, team Bismuth is always willing to trade."

Just letting you guys know that my sister is working on an illustration of the Perplexicon itself, hopefully ready by the time I post the reply this evening. If you have any suggestions for what you want her to illustrate, feel free to post them.

[Dermonster]

Creation of the booze portal.

[Xanmyral]

Whatever she feels inspiration on.

[Bigf00t]

I kinda see the Perplexicon as the typical leather grimore, but perhaps a little dissorganised, illogical, hard-to-read the title and perhaps with lots of "?" symbols.
