I thought you'd be able to say hocus pocus and make some kind of ultracool lithium gas that don't heat up or something. Guess you can't break physics, can ya?"

((Note that italicized words in your character sheets can be hovered over for additional info))



Alexandreus (Yourmaster)

Go back with the rest of the balloons.

You return with all the parts in hand, [5] and so far everything seems to be working. The gas sifters can be easily reconfigured into an array to sift mana from the atmosphere. A bit of travel through the atmosphere and you should have more mana than you can carry. Of course, this will all be on the scale of days to months. There's no practical limit on how long you can stay as long as you maintain the sifters, and at the initial rate of acquisition it looks like you'll have a potion per day.

Your Inventory:
Hurricane in a Bottle
5x Gas Sifter
5x Aerostatic Balloon
Chromatic Staff (Unique spells that are multicast cost 25% less affinity that turn.)
Lesser Mana Potion (x21) (Consume to negate 1 point of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)
Greater Mana Potion (x3) (Consume to negate 10 points of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)
Antimatter Catalyst (x5)

All the while during the conversation, Saturn looms overhead. Something tells you the place has changed in the past eons. For starters, the rings are a lot thinner, or at least darker. It's hard to tell.

Your Inventory:
Travel Kit (A bunch of items that you can channel through. The glasses grant you DiseaseVision)
Lesser Mana Potion (x25) (Consume to negate 1 point of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)
Greater Mana Potion (x3) (Consume to negate 10 points of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)
Seeking Dust (x5)

Tafaw (Urist Arrhenius)

See Coolrune206's rolls for info

Your Inventory:
Pressure Suit (A suit decorated with a silk shawl, made of many metals.)
Lesser Mana Potion (x22) (Consume to negate 1 point of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)
Greater Mana Potion (x3) (Consume to negate 10 points of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)
Morphic Dust (x5)




Resteroth (Coolrune206)

"Intriguing. Not interesting. Merely intriguing. Now, secrets ship hold what? What is ship purpose? What is human? Explain everything. Everything."

"This ship holds no secrets. I do. I selected it because I needed access to a power source. I have engineered these creatures you see swarming around us. I lived on in them as they grew and multiplied. Even with the collective brainpower of a thousand bats, I could not devise a means to save myself from each transformation. Instead, I decided to let nature work. Evolution. Or at the least, artificial selection."

More bats roam outside of the reactor, roosting among pipes and wires in the walls.

Your Inventory:
Space-Sword (Radioactive, will break if you roll a 3 or less)
Masks (A set of masks used to express yourself. You can modify sound waves and visual stimulus coming through.)
Lesser Mana Potion (x27) (Consume to negate 1 point of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)
Greater Mana Potion (x3) (Consume to negate 10 points of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)
Antimatter Catalyst (x10)


Naira Adverio (H4zardZ1)

"Step two is done. Next."
Move forward while assembling a carbon fiber that is suitable for clothing.

[3] The carbon forms a stiff, but durable fiber that you should be able to manipulate with Transformation, taking the fibers apart and reassembling them.

There are two doors in the room. You pick one at random, and enter a larger room with several viewscreens depicting a radar view of the Sirius system, in all its empty, barren loneliness.
Your assembly of the carbon fibers must have created more noise than you intended, for behind desks and monitors hide three humanoids wearing skulls and bones on their clothing. They hide when you enter.

There are three doorways located across from the viewscreens, aside from the one you entered through. They are all relatively close-by, and you are closer to them than the three humanoids are.

Your Inventory:
Jet Fog
Lesser Mana Potion (x20) (Consume to negate 1 point of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)
Greater Mana Potion (x5) (Consume to negate 10 points of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)
Black Dust (x5)
Carbon Nanotubes 122 kg

Alexandreus (Yourmaster)

Stay for however long it takes to get the man to his people.

[3] The first five days were uneventful. You gathered the expected potions only to run into trouble on the sixth day.
"The storms, they're clustered around us!" shouts the old man, staring at the console. The whole control system of the ship is located on one arcade-machine-sized unit in the middle of the platform.
"I'm trying to maneuver us out of here, but it's no good. The storms are moving... I've never seen anything like this. I would guess the ship isn't equalizing charge across its surface correctly... But that doesn't explain the whirlpool below us..."

On the viewscreen, you see radar images of clouds clustered around the vessel. There is indeed a monstrous whirling vortex below the ship. Whirlpool is an understatement. It's pulling the ship down.

Resteroth (Coolrune206)

"Resteroth immortal space wizard. Resteroth serious completely. Resteroth immune to effects of both life and death. Now, you any question for Resteroth?"

"Ah, so we have something in common then..." His voice portends a sinister smile.
"I am sure there is much to learn from each other. You see, contact with others of my caliber is sparse. But in fact, I've discovered quite the anomaly. Not one, not two, but three IR signatures were picked up by this ship's scanners on an intercept route, utilizing solar projections as reaction mass. The hallmark of wizardly travel. Indeed, I have reason to believe that there are four of us on this vessel right now. If we could gather ourselves together we could perhaps organize something great, for the progress of all lifeforms toward the goal of not only immortality, but the ability to transform others non-destructively. What say you?"

Three other wizards? One is probably you, Tafaw is likely the second, but the third?
Tafaw seems to have remained in the back staring at bats. In fact, she seems to be holding a non-bat, an arm-sized bright blue and orange pterosaur that you never saw her with before, not in space either.

Your Inventory:
Space-Sword (Radioactive, will break if you roll a 3 or less)
Masks (A set of masks used to express yourself. You can modify sound waves and visual stimulus coming through.)

If i have time: Make a clothing made from carbon fiber.
((Coolrune, mind me joining? I could edit my post.))

The humanoids don't seem pleased to meet you. Rather than responding, they huddle back. You hear clicking sounds emanating from behind cover.

[6] Nanotubes swirl around you, in seconds forming intricate braided patterns that would have taken a human machine days, if not weeks, to produce. Strips of cloth, ready to merge and take on different forms, form a swarm of ribbons circling endlessly.

A few of them gather around your limbs, but you stop the process as soon as you realize that your nanoweave is too rigid for clothing. You'll hardly be able to move inside it. However, the swarm of flying strips is ready to protect you from any flying harm that may come your way. It's almost superior to clothing, in a way.

Your Inventory:
Jet Fog
Lesser Mana Potion (x20) (Consume to negate 1 point of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)
Greater Mana Potion (x5) (Consume to negate 10 points of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)

Alexandreus (Yourmaster)

Work the storm's winds against it, using them to force us out of it.

[1][4] You redirect the winds as much as you can, although it's not just the hurricane pulling you down. It's the whole local region of gas. While the ship is now ascending on a pillar of superdense wind, you notice what looks like a tidal wave in the distance, but all around you. It's like a part of the whole planet just started falling into the core.

The radar picks up a small signature below the ship, coming up. It might be another balloon that got sucked in.

Your Inventory:
Hurricane in a Bottle
5x Gas Sifter
5x Aerostatic Balloon
Chromatic Staff (Unique spells that are multicast cost 25% less affinity that turn.)
Lesser Mana Potion (x27) (Consume to negate 1 point of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)

Antimatter Catalyst (x5)




Michel (Pancaek)

"Aha. Aha. We can certainly try!"

Try to change thios guy's ferrofluid into "some kind of ultracool lithium gas that don't heat up".

[3] It works! Somewhat. The ionized lithium gas is cooled by a heat-stealing nanomolecular formula made up of magnetic monopoles. These monopoles are a gas, and gains temperature as it cools the substance. The whole setup would seemingly defy entropy, but it's solar powered therefore both convenient and eco-friendly!

"Well I'll be... that don't feel like nothing's happened to me but it sure as hell is less stuffy in here. There's something about being stuck in a vat of goop for a decade that makes you appreciate being in air again.

Now that that's a settled... you mind dropping me off on Ceres? I wanna check up on the colony there. You know where that is, right?"


A wizard knows all 50 planets of the solar system, of course.

Naira Adverio (H4zardZ1)

"This carbon strings that are too rigid for clothing... Hey, wait, that reminds me of chainmails!"
Turn the rigid clothing to a partially thick, rigid armor made from carbon fiber.

[4] The strands separate into microscopic strands too small for human eyes to see, then weave themselves into a pattern of interlocked loops and links.
And since the more finely-woven chainmail is, the stiffer it is... well, this chainmail might as well be carbon plate.
