Ignoring the ruckus the other two are making, you continue your magic.
[Pot:2+1] Nothing happens.
[Pot:4+1] Nothing happens.
[Pot:5+1] Nothing happens.
[Pot:3+1] Despite all expectations, nothing happens.
Welp.
Keep on running!
Actions!
[Tod Spd:5+1]
[Derm Spd:1]
[Tod Dex:1+1]
[Derm Dex:2]
[Tod Str:3]
[Derm End:6]
Derm tries to turn around, but Tod is on him in an instant. Tod punches Derm right in the throat, but Derm just laughs at the blow and takes off running. Tod gives chase, and chases him all the way to the south entrance of the Grand Room.
((Except I couldn't tell if my stats allowed that or not, or if it was someone's else's thing, y'know?))
Derek reads through the book again and tries the following for the destruction of the book:
"Terosifi!
Puboub!
Haustiver!
Kaverbel!
(Number of spells/actions per turn outside of combat isn't tied to stats at all (except you can only cast as long as you have pool.))
You continue your efforts to bring affront to the book using spells from said book. Ironic!
[Pot:5+1] A large pile of bones clatters on top of the book. You have to knock some away to even see the book for the next try.
[Pot:5+1] Now there's several logs of wood on top of the book. You have to struggle a bit to get them clear for another go.
[Pot:1+1] A tiny fleshy lump spluts down onto the book. You nudge it aside with your foot- ick.
[Pot:4+1] Now there are some sheets of leather on it. All and all, not exactly what you had in mind!
Zemonif
Nodi
Kiallum
Continuing to ignore the people running past you in the grand tradition of Benny Hill, you concentrate on your magic.
[Pot:1+1] Nothing happens, so that you notice.
[Pot:4+1] A puff of grey fog comes into being and floats over your right shoulder. It stays there for a few moments then breaks apart and goes away. Huh.
[Pot:1+1] A shimmering blob appears. Yeah, that's probably supposed to be something.
Charles says Kaverbel Gostophori Flifact.
"See, this is how you do it."
[Pot:5+1] Bright magical ley lines appear and crisscross your left leg, then burst with energy. Your left leg shrinks, shrivels, and toughens into a core of solid leather. From this core, sure enough, your leg hair regrows- except now it grows long and thick, not unlike sheep's wool. Several inches of thick, coarse wool surround your leg, filling it out to its original size.
... Huh, how about that. Jack does not look impressed.
