[Ukrainian Ranger]

E) tentacled minions for CLOSE CONTACTS

B) Minion who can fabricate BEAUTIFUL THINGS

[Ross Vernal]

[[Yes, the Ritual took place. Also, you're feeling awake.]]

You decide that because of the VAGUE SHENANIGANS you felt in the future's past, you should summon some STABBY INFANTRY. While you certainly have WIZARDLY POWERS, being REPEATEDLY STABBED does not sound like a fun time, and having MEAT SPONGES STABBY INFANTRY to protect you would prevent such IMPOLITE GREETINGS. You draw a CIRCLE OF POWER large enough to fit a dozen people, and utter the WORDS OF SUMMONING for a unit of STABBY INFANTRY. You make CERTAIN GESTURES and perform a BINDING to improve one STABBY INFANTRY into a METASTAB KNIGHT and another into an HONORARY BATMAN.

You order the HONORARY BATMAN to order the GENERIC MINIONS to pack the WIZARD TENT and confidently HEAD SOUTH, now certain of your destination because of TIME JACKASSERY. Unfortunately, your MYSTERIOUS CURSE has caused your SENSE OF DIRECTION to be SDRAWKCAB SSA YLIRAROPMET, and you confidently HEAD NORTH instead. Nobody contradicts you, and it is several hours before you notice where the sun is.

You make a notice to visit the EVIL QUEEN and MURDER HER TO DEATH, and contemplate what to do.

Do you:
A) Declare it to be lunchtime, and conjure a feast the likes of which warriors consume in their strange little heaven!
B) Visit the EVIL QUEEN and MURDER HER TO DEATH.
C) Turn around and HEAD SOUTH.
D) Have a VIOLENT TANTRUM involving LARGE EXPLOSIONS
E) Something else?

[Xantalos]

Explosions? Tempting...

Why don't we use our magical powers to find an important quest happening.
Go in the general direction of said quest.

[andy_t_roo]

Xantalos, as EVIL is NOT-GOOD, wouldn't the happenings there mean the quest is to DO B.

[Xantalos]

Xantalos, as EVIL is NOT-GOOD, wouldn't the happenings there mean the quest is to DO B.

Random other quest? I mean, I'm all for killing the queen but only if we get to cannon into her throne room and instakill her in front of an adventuring party that's sacrificed much to kill her and then claim all the glory while flaunting, but otherwise it just seems a little eh.

[Nirur Torir]

I think the best way to deal with the evil queen is by using our castle to magnify and direct our own, rather more powerful and direct, 'curse' towards her.

Maybe we can magically find a quest that will reward us with a component that will be of use in the castle.

[Ross Vernal]

You decide to put off your GLORIOUS REVENGE to see if there is some sort of QUEST to be had. Now, normally, a QUEST is the sort of thing you leave to the HERO-ADVENTURER type, but you've always wanted to study the COINCIDENCES OF PLOT that seem to occur to HERO-ADVENTURERS. At least, those who don't fail. You officially name yourself a WIZARD-HERO, and properly equipped with a TITLE, you start to perform a DIVINATION RITUAL to locate a PLOT DISPENSER QUEST GIVER. You draw a POLYHEDRON OF POWER, step within, and look in the CARDINAL DIRECTIONS to see what sort of QUESTS are available within a few day's travel.

Further to the NORTH is a group of HUMAN HAMLETS being terrorized by ARROGANT ELVES.

To the EAST, you sense a MYSTERIOUS VAGRANT with a PLOT DEVICE.

To the SOUTH, you sense a PIME TARADOX.

To the WEST, you detect a CITY FALLING OUT OF ITS GOLDEN AGE and an AILING RULER.

In your general location, you detect a WIZARD-HERO and her MOTLEY PARTY OF MINIONS. The WIZARD-HERO is detecting potential PLOT DISPENSERS QUEST GIVERS.

[Xantalos]

Attempt to REMOTELY EXPLODE the MYSTERIOUS VAGRANT.

[andy_t_roo]

a PIME TARADOX is something WE have always wished to study to FURTHER OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNIVERSE. Besides, south was the direction we were originally going.

a) ARROGANT ELVES, we won't learn anything from them.
b) PLOT DEVICE's are quite useful for LEARNING, so if south fails, i vote for EAST.
c) (voted for above)
d) do we know anything about the pinnacle of knowledge during the recent GOLDEN AGE of the city to the WEST?

We frown in our general direction and consider how to upgrade our minions to something better than "MOTLEY". How are we to MAKE A NAME FOR OURSELVES, if WE are known as having MOTLEY MINIONS.


edit:
this is a vote against EXPLODING anything near a PLOT DEVICE. WE need to study it (note, not a vote against exploding the VAGRANT, just the PLOT DEVICE)

[GreatWyrmGold]

Attempt to REMOTELY EXPLODE the MYSTERIOUS VAGRANT.

Then go east.

[Xantalos]

edit:
this is a vote against EXPLODING anything near a PLOT DEVICE. WE need to study it (note, not a vote against exploding the VAGRANT, just the PLOT DEVICE)

Ah, but we'll only blow up the vagrant Scanners-style.

[Ross Vernal]

Much like JON SNOW, you KNOW NOTHING about the DECAYING CITY.

You attempt to reach out to the MYSTERIOUS VAGRANT, but find the PLOT DEVICE is extending some sort of ABJURATION FIELD about his presence that prevents your ATTEMPTED MURDER. However, you note the MYSTERIOUS VAGRANT is slowly making his way WEST. You consider upgrading some of your GENERIC MINIONS into SPECIFIC MINIONS, but you need to decide their SPECIFIC PURPOSE. You also decide to find a BETTER ADJECTIVE regardless of your MINION UPGRADE.

It is nearing the MIDDLE OF THE DAY. Your surroundings include a WILD FOREST to the NORTH, an OLD ROAD leading from EAST TO WEST (alternately, WEST TO EAST), and a GRASSY PLAIN leading back to the SOUTH.

[andy_t_roo]

which way did we end up going? towards the VAGRANT, or SOUTH?

[Ross Vernal]

We stayed in the same spot because the VAGRANT is moving towards us. I didn't know if this new information would change any votes.

Also, it's easier to MINION UPGRADE while not in motion.

[andy_t_roo]

ok, i vote for a minion upgrade, but lets not be OBSERVED doing MYSTERIOUS EXPERIMENTATION. WE may have to go and do something, we should upgrade a GENERIC MINION to a FAITHFUL LEADER.


Then WE can go and do something and have the FAITHFUL LEADER mind our MINIONS. If we are sufficiently good at bending reality, it would be good if this minion ALWAYS KNOWS what we want.

EDIT:
besides, we have curse on us, so being inside an ABJURATION FIELD might make things easier to do.
