...So, wait.

If Yaos had just struck a silly pose and shouted some kind of catchphrase, he might have survived?

No. I think we need to use that slab to make the weapon. If I remember correctly ,FFS said we had the wrong setup. That was what he meant, I think. Notice the little symbol above the slab? I think it matches our Soul Star.

Maybe each star has its own slab? I don't think so, though.

We should also see if anybody else can do it.

Let's see if we can Second Shift the sword back to a star (and vice versa) outside of that room.

So wait..... If the physical Oversoul which the Warrens are trying to guard can shift into a weapon as well, it must be one BADASS weapon......

We should try manipulating the weapon during Oversoul.
We need to keep a list of cool things we want to do during Oversoul.

Apparently there was a piece of Poetry named Oversoul, which(ironically) best describes my thoughts on what it basically is. Also has a bit of Soul-stuff which can in some way be related to Illborn. Loving these real-life parallels which can be found through Google Search

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Supreme Critic on the errors of the past and the present, and the only prophet of that which must be, is that great nature in which we rest, as the earth lies in the soft arms of the atmosphere; that Unity, that Over-soul, within which every man's particular being is contained and made one with all other; that common heart, of which all sincere conversation is the worship, to which all right action is submission; that overpowering reality which confutes our tricks and talents, and constrains every one to pass for what he is, and to speak from his character, and not from his tongue, and which evermore tends to pass into our thought and hand, and become wisdom, and virtue, and power, and beauty. We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related; the eternal ONE. And this deep power in which we exist, and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one. We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree; but the whole, of which these are the shining parts, is the soul. Only by the vision of that Wisdom can the horoscope of the ages be read, and by falling back on our better thoughts, by yielding to the spirit of prophecy which is innate in every man, we can know what it saith. Every man's words, who speaks from that life, must sound vain to those who do not dwell in the same thought on their own part.
Dat Oversoul description

the soul in man is not an organ, but animates and exercises all the organs; is not a function, like the power of memory, of calculation, of comparison, but uses these as hands and feet; is not a faculty, but a light; is not the intellect or the will, but the master of the intellect and the will; is the background of our being, in which they lie, — an immensity not possessed and that cannot be possessed. From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all. A man is the fasade of a temple wherein all wisdom and all good abide.
Possible illborn stuffs

After its own law and not by arithmetic is the rate of its progress to be computed. The soul's advances are not made by gradation, such as can be represented by motion in a straight line; but rather by ascension of state, such as can be represented by metamorphosis, — from the egg to the worm, from the worm to the fly. The growths of genius are of a certain total character, that does not advance the elect individual first over John, then Adam, then Richard, and give to each the pain of discovered inferiority, but by every throe of growth the man expands there where he works, passing, at each pulsation, classes, populations, of men.  Soul evolutions stuffs

Why do we need to wait for Oversoul to make a to-do list?

We should see if we can extend Oversoul indefinitely next time we do Oversoul. Or at least create some sort of Soul-Charge-recovering thing so we can re-enter it immediately thereafter.

We don't.

What I meant is that we should start keeping a list as soon as possible, and the list will be of things to do during Oversoul.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I was making a joke.

[reality.auditor]

Update already? Welp.

Astral Influx as weapon? Huh, seems like it is powered by Soul Charge and seems to deal nonrandom damage that depends on current level of SC. Wonder what "Combinatorial" does?

Spirit Archive: Just list? Nothing more? Can you select something from list?

Circuitrix's comment suggests she has at least two bosses. Serving two masters can end only well.

Proposed commands:

• Move Hard Hat to Goombess. Move Red Wizard Hat to Cherish and equip it. As I said, our healer needs MSP. Those are, of course, preparations for DL4.
• Ask Cherish how exactly Proxxy powered this crap up. She seen her do it, after all.
• Failing everything above, Drop.

SLAP CIRCUITRIX WITH ALL 58% OF SOUL CHARGE IN A SINGLE SWORD THRUST

-1. I don't think I have to justify that one.

Initiate maneuver FUCK THAT DRAGON.

Only you can prevent dragon rape. -1.
While we are at it, -1 to any direct combat with dragon. -1 to throwing water on dragon (unless done in safe way). It is still suicidal (this SOB is way outta our league) and I think water will not do much to Stone Dragon.

You assume we are immediately going to DL4.

I think that Proxxy powered up a teleporter, which this isn't. But no harm in asking, I guess.

I think that was a joke, but that would be a very bad idea.

We don't know either of these things, and we could learn both by throwing water on the dragon.

+1 to all plans involving attacking the dragon. If throwing water on the dragon is tied/one behind tanking, -1 to tanking instead. -1 to Dropping.

[Tomcost]

I want to say something: we haven't seen the menu of the normal water.

[TealNinja]

I stand by my assertion that Goom-bess is not our ally.  How could she have knowledge of the Angels but not of Proxxy?  Why was she so infatuated with Oric when describing him?

She's shallow and thought him handsome/cool?

I realize this is probably a joke, but -infinity.
EDIT: Also, Bottle of Water Menu.

[reality.auditor]

+1.

Yes, my propositions are tied in. I want to Drop, so other command prepares to Drop. If I wanted to fight Stone Dragon, I would do some inventory management to maximize chances of party, but in my opinion it will not change much. 1.1% or 1.2% (just example), why bother?

We don't know either of these things

We know. We can estimate that Stone Dragon is way, way too powerful for current party that is - reminder - currently at 50% HP (in case of Ciro even worse, thanks to one certain suggestion that had no chance of success ).

Returning to dragon...

(Roll: 19) laularukyrumo is registered under Stone Dragon. The spirit appears as a great, grey, dragon-like creature with laser cannons for arms and jetpacks for wings. You're literally taken aback by awe at this point. It doesn't even have to make sense.

How we assess it's power without scan data? Both visually (picture, that missed laser ray) and from description of FFS and original creator, laularukyumo. Dragons already tends to be very powerful, high end creatures in RPGs - and we don't have high end characters. We have barely developed characters in weakened state.
Stone dragon would have hefty bonus to Damage Resistance on top - "Because why the fuck not, maybe I'll get a defense bonus.".
Jetpacks instead of wings are crazy, and two laser cannons, uh, I can bet those will oneshot any member of party. I guess Hard Hat guarded Cherish would survive two turns, if very lucky. Only Hard-Hatted, Bulwarked Al would have any chance of prolonged survival.

Fucking suicide, period.

I stand by my assertion that Goom-bess is not our ally.

This is correct. She is mencenary, not ally. I don't think she will backstab us, unless that whole strange incident with A.G. would cause that.
