Dun worry guys, working on a google spreadsheet, which I will make "per update" copies, which will allow people to read from the beginning and still get the info they need.

[endlessblaze]

ahhhhh clever

[Aslandus]

Could we possibly make a portal that assures instantaneous transport between our base and where we are?
Maybe a simple frame (like a door frame) that can expand to whatever size we feed mana. Just place it into the ground, Say the magic words, Feed it mana and presto! Portal established.
Or it could always be open but capable of shrinking down to pocket size. For convenient transportation.
That way we will always have access to our resources but can also store away unneeded ones and be able to create a extensive workshop without needing to worry about taking it with us.

Technically that's what the woodworker was trying to do when he made his pocket dimension... It might be hazardous to try...

Dang, magic doesn't work in an area of heat and radiation? I was going to suggest that mine the sun... Is the moon made out of silver? I was going to make an "engine" out of steel mana attached to a plank which is then attached to steel...

[Shadestyle]

((IT'S HAPPENING))

"Bah, I'm just upset because once upon a time, Someone called me out for being soft because of this exact thing."

"I guess helping them is fine."

"My goodness you are ambitious, you know that the sun and moon are controlled by GODS right? That is a lot of effort and risk for Gold and Moondust."

"The moon is made of a Material which complements silver, but isn't Silver itself. Moon rocks create a type of energy all their own, due to their deitys' control over it."

"Magic does not function correctly in an area of intense heat or radiation, Basically, if it is close enough to either of those to inhibit spell-casting, then it is close enough to cause more important problems."

"If I can get in touch with the Wood tinkerer, I am sure He could help me develop a means of Cross Space Portals. I have no concept of it right now though, so I don't have a place to start, that I know of."

You remember something important, about how your Communication device is inferior to the original.

"Wizard butler, Would you come over here? I need to pull out your eye."

While confused, your servant obeys, and with some fiddling, you manage to get the Device working. Wood somehow creating an image, as the wood tinkerer opens the video call of sorts.

"Greetings! It's good to see my invention is working just fine, What can I do you for, friend?"

[Aslandus]

Cool, you got the google docs page up... maybe we should use one tab for scrolls so we have a more active record of them...

I guess we could start by asking if he understands how the portals work... If he's just carving it a certain way because he knows it works then we probably won't get much out of him...

[Shadestyle]

"Why yes, Portals function on either the premise of Permanently warped space through the use of artificial gravity, OR the use of certain spells which can create an artificial wormhole between two points."

"I will assume you want to know the one using magic, considering, so here it is, the key is to use two similar objects as "Keys" in a Arch, portal, or doorway like structure, which is engraved with lines in it to basically force one end of the doorway to come out the other. The objects have to be extraordinarily similar. and enough power has to be put in to Breach the distance at least once, after which the portal will remain stable so long as they are not moved too far away. Try to imagine a bridge made of magic, one which instead of connecting two points in a linear fashion, connect two points in a spatially altered one. Permanent portals usually requires a sub dimension to hop across. I have some books here at my new location if you are interested, Not for sale mind you, these are my personal copies, But if you are in the neighborhood, give them a read, I am currently in a small village At Vulcan's Navel, A tourist trap for folks wanting to see the volcanic mountain range."

[The Froggy Ninja]

((Sounds like a good base spot. Ready access to magma and magical wood stuff. We should head over.))
"Sounds like a good place to check out. How much would a portal cost to be made special order?"

[Shadestyle]

"Hmm. Where exactly are you? All I see is stone walls."

"Eadlestien's secret sewer tunnel."

"Well, for a stable portal (which would require your assistance) That is large enough to transport yourself, I would put the price at... 1000 gold."

"Ok, I will contact you for a tutorial if I require a portal Phteven."

[ATHATH]

Can we make a solar panel-like device that gives us moon and sun mana? How would that affect our minions? How do the gods of the moon and sun feel about necromancy? Why hasn't some psychologically deformed demon that believes that everything belongs to him taken over the world yet?

[FallacyofUrist]

((Maybe, likely empower them, and I don't know.))

[Aslandus]

Somehow, I don't think the will of the gods is common knowledge...

[Shadestyle]

"Silver and gold panels as mentioned will refine their own mana, In the case of gold, that means when the sun shines on it, it could make the solar mana more distinct,, And for Silver, it will actually glow with it's distinct energy under a full moon. But honestly? We already have machinery for harnessing Ambient mana. Concentrating it into a state where it can be absorbed would require two things. something to analyze the atmospheric mana, as it varies from place to place and time to time, and something that can concentrate ambient mana to the point where it is usable.  The downside is that Ambient mana would effect what it is powering, I doubt my minions would have a problem with some Moon, Then Silver, then Flesh, or bone attuned mana in their systems, But too much Sun, then gold, mana will set them on fire as it interacts with their remaining death energy."

"But yeah, how am I supposed to know what the Lunar and Solar gods think of necromancy? I would need a Priest to relay that question, and where there are priests, there are paladins. There are demons that believe everything is theirs due to psychological illness. It renders them powerless because their minds are weak for their delusions, making them unable to control mana in any capacity."

You take a look at the map you were given, in order to see this volcanic mountain range.

"Death zone? That is so Bull,"

"My home country's actual name is..."

[The Froggy Ninja]

Kitsoni

[Shadestyle]

"...Yeah, sure, my country's name is Kitsoni."

"So, anything else we should do before bedtime? tomorrow, I will be able to do helpy things for finishing up the escape tunnel."
