So, how many times can Thor throw lightning bolts in a 16 minute period? Assuming it's once per round, and 10 rounds is 1 minute, 160 times?

That is a great punchline.

Given that they had one fry the engine, fixed everything, waited four minutes, and then blocked the second one, I'd say it's a pretty good interval. Might still be quicker than once every nine minutes, though.

Is it a mark of a good leader that everyone knows more about what they're doing than the leader does?


Also, why are they worrying about money? D&D economy is the most horribly broken thing ever.

I think that's why the order is able to help pay.  I don't think regular people, or even the crew of the airship would be able to afford replacement parts on a whim, but adventurers?  Even barring any magic items they found in the pyramid that nobody has a use for, there's the hundreds of soldiers they beat down like they were nothing that Roy could have passively looted while the firewall was up.

My guess is that the 'help pay' is a friendlier way of saying 'we can pay for this easily'.  I mean Haley isn't even considering if they have enough to pay at all, she's considering how much extra they can pay to speed it along.   D&D economy sucks if yer not an adventurer.

Or, quite possibly, a potion seller.

Or any vendor, for that matter. You get half the worth of everything they sell you as a surcharge.

Is there an RPG system with an economic system that's not broken six ways from sunday?

I'm sure there's at least one, but economics is tricky to model properly.

Honestly, you'd be hard-pressed finding one that works in real life.
