Bump.

A decent lieutenant would require at least 100 mana. You should have enough if you save until tomorrow.

[Harbingerjm]

Still curious to know how money will help. Are we going with videogame mechanics of lose resources, gain stuff? Is there a nearby neighbour who will sell to us? Does a merchant who makes Recette look like a kind and gullible sap live in the village? ExploitativeEnquiring minds want to know!

Edit: Lost track of a sentence there.

Well, with money you could buy things from the other towns nearby, such as the one a few days away that isn't reminiscent of a certain other game's city for the apparent purpose of trading with you at all. This allows you to buy real equipment.

or we can make magic sticks that can cut a mountain in half.  After we have our Lieutenant, of course.

[Harbingerjm]

Hmmm, speaking of sticks cutting mountains...
We might want to come up with a plant that can make hollow tunnels, under- or above-ground. Sort of like the Telvanni Towers.
Also, does lowering the area of a forcefield make it cheaper? I spy potential as alarm systems.
Similarly, can we make moving ones? Even if they have to be fixed to a base or source of some sort, they might do as makeshift armour.

[Origami_Psycho]

Or magic hand grenades, by making a force field collapse a portion of air into a dense enough area that it can initiate fusion.

No, and yes.

EDIT: Mandatory update incoming...

[Harbingerjm]

Hmmm.
Ok, something to keep in mind is making spear shafts that act as a force power battery, then making long thin blades of force on the ends that can be activated/deactivated by the wielder. Mono"molecular"blade polearms, ho!

The time has come to prepare to finally face the enemy. With not much time left to aid your people, you conserve your mana. The villagers have been working hard, and are assembled to defend their homes. Twenty three have been hastily trained in the basics of combat and armed with wooden shields and iron-headed spears. A further six had tasted conflict before, and had armed themselves with their old coats of splint mail, accompanied by shortswords and bucklers. Ericus prepares himself near the wall, recharging his mana and donning his robe and staff. You settle down and wait for the next day.

(16) In the evening, you receive a message from one of your disciples. They tell of an old hermit who lives in the forest, away from the rest of the village. He requests an audience.

You arrive in a small cottage in the heart of the woods. Inside is an old man, dressed in a jerkin the color of the sun. Greetings, god. I am Enreich the Wanderer. I speak for the Brotherhood of Karalis. We have been watching your work, and we have deigned to grant you a boon. I shall serve as your lieutenant, and as ambassador for my brethren. We only demand that you stay true to the will of Karalis. We will provide the materials you will need for the transformation, if you accept our boon.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Karalis...Karalis...where does this sound familiar from?

[Remuthra]

Karalis is the god who controlled the village of Kaln (which is named after him) before you arrived.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Ah, right.

Ask why we should do that.

[javierpwn]

He is the Old god of the people we saved.
Ask what sort of Boon he had in mind to give us

[Remuthra]

((For questions like these, I'll just answer them without need of an update.))

If you accept, I shall submit myself to be reborn anew, as your first lieutenant. We offer this as a show of faith.
