Demand mage bones

((how long till end of mood?))

[How long did you want to work for?]

[Gwolfski]

((how long will a complete encyclopedia of dteam power needs doing, I think you mentioned a month or two))

[Amperzand]

[A month to complete it at all, two to do it really well. Months are three weeks, next update will be week three of month one. Your choice whether or not to continue.]

[Randomly thinking in standard RPG party-of-adventurers terms because I get weird on not enough sleep, you lot would appear to have one Combatant (Chaotic), one Infiltrator (Porkins), one Squishy Wizard (Fish), one Face/Diplomancer (Murdoc) and two Crazies (Gwolfski and Moony), with all of the above possessing various crafting or technical skills. Feel free to discuss the specifics.]

Electro-magnets are very easy to make, and we should have ample power to do so after the dam is finished.

If repairs to the fortress are mostly finished, and the dam requires no further supervision, work on hydrolysis machine, and on airtight cloth for flying machine.

[Amperzand]

(More problematic than electromagnets, which are dirt-simple, is producing actual strong permanent magnets, since they need some weird elements and stuff I don't actually know how to give you.)

[TheBiggerFish]

((I think neodymium?))

[Codyrex123]

(This is looking interesting, whats going on currently?)

[Amperzand]

Ayyy, a new guy! Give me a name for your character and his/her basic physical appearance along with whatever talents you want to focus on, then the other Homelanders can debrief you in character.

(@Fish: Yep. I've no idea what rocks it comes from, and then the actual magnets are made from some kinda ceramic I don't know what is.)

[Codyrex123]

Name: Cody Rex

He is slim, and his muscles aren't too well defined, his beard is decently long, reaching the center of his chest, its edges have braided hairs hanging down, his head is rather tall, he looks more elflike then most dwarves, His head is narrow, his eyes are recessed (Think thats right XD)

Skills: Novice Lasher, Novice Dodger, Novice Armor User, Competent Carpenter, Novice Animal Trainer, Novice Miner

I've gone for a kinda weak character, I really don't know entirely what I want to specialize in other then having a little bit of combat fun.
Hope this is enough information. Oh and, I was looking through some of the eariest pages, whats this magic thing? has it changed or has it been removed?

[chaotic skies]

<<Magic is still in effect, and currently lessons are being handed out, so you can learn that if you want. Normal physics applies, and there's some weird eldritch stuff that happens from time to time, but otherwise most things will be explained in character.>>

<<Also, put stuff that isn't an action in brackets or parentheses, and actions in bold. Speech can just be in quotes.>>

[MoonyTheHuman]

(Neodyium requires advanced tech to seperate from its cousin elements, we cant get it)
Design and build fort's first relay, then make schematics for diffrent electronic circuits and finally a 8 bit cpu that runs something similar to brainfuck
(yes ik, big goal, but i start small and go big, so it should work)

[chaotic skies]

Keep learning spells. Help Moony.

[Codyrex123]

I arrive at the fort, I was so new here that I didn't even learn the fort's name, as soon as I arrive I ask around for the person I should talk to about my work orders, I had no idea why the heck I was here, I just felt like I needed to leave the mountain homes, I also wanted to see beyond the mountains, which is one of the reasons I assumed I came here for.... (Oh and btw, my character WILL not know about the incident, even though he was brought here by it.)

[Amperzand]

[Neither of these is concealed for secrecy reasons, they're just textdumps I don't want taking up screenspace they don't need to. I intend to write an update tonight, after dinner.]

Spoiler: Some questions before you get into the game proper (click to show/hide)

Are you arriving on your own, or with the Relief Caravan?

Are you a local with initiative or, like the other players, are you a soul from halfway across the Multiverse dropped into the body of a local?

Are you sure you only want a few low-level skills and no technical interests? You aren't starting as a level one fighter with a wooden sword, you're either an active part of the world with the gumption and expertise to head for a hazardous borderland outpost in the middle of a war, or someone with skills nobody local to the world has, dropped here by powers you don't understand.

Spoiler: Basic settingdump to get you a basic OOC understanding of current events (click to show/hide)

The players are a random selection of people from everywhere in the Multiverse, currently the de-facto government of a borderlands mining-shaft-turned-research-base as a war between the great powers of the world begins. Being in possession of knowledge from far more advanced worlds, they already have everything from a magitek artificially sentient automaton to crude submachine guns and a hydroelectric dam. The fortress is currently partially cut off from the surface, with surface approaches hazardous as a result of the radioactive contamination caused by the nearby death of a demigod. The world's magic is being drained severely by an unknown force to the East of the fortress, the same direction in which the initial battles of the growing war are being fought.
