Friendly reminder that you still can pick your favorite drink at any time. Also, damn it. I am so sorry about this delay. I thought I'd be able to finish this after Thanksgiving, but life wasn't willing to cooperate with me on that regard. Next month should be better.
Actions:
Let the bartender do his thing on me; if he casts physical return to before, try to avoid resisting it. Drink the Tequila shot.
6: The bartender digs out some medical supplies and goes to work. He must deal with this sort of thing often. You drink your tequila, partially to ease the pain and partially for the power it grants you.
"That'll do well enough for now. You'll probably want to get some rest, but I can't make you."
Drink the bourbon. Step outside and immediately begin looking for trouble. Turns out goats are real lightweights.
Look for trouble 4: You search the town for trouble. There's a big crowd rallied around a man yelling about a quest to get rid of some goblins.
Maybe research more efficient versions of mana stealing spells? After that, see if I can remember any of my old classmates who knew a good mana theft spell.
3: They don't really keep acessible records if what spells people know. It's a policy, apparently.
3: You start researching effective versions. There are indeed some, at least one of which appears fits your symptoms.
Keep traveling to the Kverisburgh, then settle down in an inn.
2: You still can't find anyone who will take you.
6: Suddenly, you happen upon the recruiters for that goblin problem, and ask if you can hitch a ride. They check their supplies, and say yes. Excellent. Hopefully they won't try to rope you into that job...
"Thank you good man!" eat and drink my fill
The meal is delicious, as is your drink. You feel fully rejuvinated.
Use my inebriation ray on my booze construct. Failing that, feed my booze construct a bottle of beer. Accept the quest, and head out on my way to complete it.
Cast: 3+2-1: Your inebriation ray zaps the booze construct! It staggers for a moment, but you can tell that the body became more stable and renewed.
Cast Cure light wounds again in an attempt to fix myself. Slowly and carefully waddle off in search of another bar to get incredibly drunk at.
Cast 1+2-2: You cast cure light wounds again, but lose control of the magic in your drunkenness!
Endurance 3: A patch of skin is ripped off your upper body, opening the wound!
You stagger back to the first bar, it being the only location you know.
3: The bartender offers to help with your injuries.

Bottle of Beer
Spells:
Animate Booze Construct: Animates a dead wizard's corpse under caster's control. It only has its cheapest spell that it had in life available to it (randomly picked from its cheapest spells, if there was a tie). It begins unlife with half health, 5 Mana, no Drunkenness, and no innate bonus to spellcasting. It loses one mana per turn and dies if it ever reaches zero mana. Former booze constructs cannot be reanimated. If a booze construct kills a mage, the random spell goes to the booze construct's creator, not the booze construct (unless the booze construct is its own creator or the booze construct's creator is dead, in which case the spell goes to the booze construct). 3 Mana. Don't expect most of these things to be true if you roll low.
-Inebriation Ray: Forces a target to suffer the same effects that they would undergo if they drank an average bottle of booze (+5 mana, +1 Drunkenness). Works on things that can't normally drink booze. 1 Mana. Difficult to target self.
-Contingency: When a certain condition is met (set by pm when this spell is cast), a spell that the caster of this spell knows (which must be paid for and chosen by pm when Contingency is cast) comes into effect. Only one Contingency per caster may be in play at once, although Contingencies persist after a caster's death. Mana cost varies from 1-3 Mana before spell choice based on complexity.
