where could they have gone??
I wander aimlessly around town, hoping to stumble upon them at random? maybe if I find some kind of pattern to the town layout I could narrow my search? I dunno.
What did he go and do that for?
Well, I guess I'll head back to the church.
You two find each other and head over to the shrine.
Guarding the alchemist. Woo.
Continue guarding the alchemist. We'll not have this mission objective be kidnapped!
If alchemist is safe, do some Robutt computing: Compute how I would go about imbuing an amount of water with the qualities of acid. If I have enough time for a second compute, how to imbue an object made of metal with the propreties of fire and/or extra force when hitting somthing.
guarding, guarding. Two more teammates arrive. Four of eight of those who started on this mission are now here.
For the first computation, it is a simple matter of refining your previous experiment, as one of the outcomes was that the water took on an acidic element. perhaps a symbolic representation of acid, a symbolic representation of water, and a symbolic representation of union or merger would help. that way, the attribute is transferred rather than having the acid act on the water. A simple x would suffice for acid, as long as it is designated as such. and water, well wavy lines or a drop or such would do.
Second computation. Fire represents energy and would need to be contained somehow to be released under conditions. Think batteries, or something like coating the weapon with a flame generating substance. I suppose if you created a bonfire or placed a forge within an alchemic circle, you could transfer the energies. But your current calculations suggest that this would be a temporary situation. For one-shot type effects, using coal or something like that in a symbol would work. it would completely consume the coal, and for a short while the weapon would be enflamed. Care must be taken to shield the wielder from the effect. Force would be somewhat similar. Essentially you would be trying to impart additional motion to the weapon. So within the symbol you would need water as one of the process elements. You would then need to take something, maybe something heavy, and convert it's mass into motion. Again, this would destroy the material, and would yield a pretty temporary effect. Both processes carry the risk of damaging or destroying the weapon.
All that seems to make sense. But uh, maybe we can deal with this tomorrow. Find a safe place without any human souls and get some actual rest.
You slither off to a quiet part of the woods and nest under a bush or something. it gets fairly cold and your metabolism drops pretty low. Gonna be sluggish tomorrow, until the sun warms you in mid to late morning.
Nighttime optionsYou guys can go ahead and post morning activities.
If someone wants to do something urgent tonight, like go fetch Reggie, go ahead and post that instead.He's not going anywhere though.
You have two missing teammates off in the woods sleeping (Terrance sleeps uncomfortably in his little hideyhole), you hear two sets of people return to the town, give reports from the mines and the woods, and go to bed, and nothing else of note happens all night. In the morning, provided you chose to jump on to it, the alchemist wakes and is ready for business. he doesn't look exactly pleased to be kept by the Omegas, but the absence of three of your -2 charisma characters greatly reduces his nervousness.
