Wait to see how things turn out. Wouldn't want to get into trouble by destroying half the city with lightnings...
Ypgnath continues to sip at the last few drops of their whiskey. It doesn't do anything to their Mana or Drunkenness, but it passes the time. This is quite the battle!
Cast dispel on the buddha, then run inside the store.
Order the Buddha to crush Stuart. At the same time, cast Giant Crushing Bone on him.
Haphazard orders the Buddha to crush Stuart!
Stuart decides that the Buddha has to go away, and tries to cast dispel on it!
Cast 6+2-1 vs Attack 6+1: As the Buddha charges forward, Stuart casts his spell! With a flash of light, the magic that keeps the Buddha functioning fades away! The statue slowly topples over, unable to support its own weight! However, it doesn't lose any of the momentum it started the charge with!
Avoid massive falling golden statue 5: Stuart easily slips past the side of the golden man and runs towards the store!
Cast 5+2-2 vs Escape 5: Seeing his foe try to escape, Haphazard casts Giant Crushing Bone on his foe. A large bone from some sort of mammal drops at high speed onto Stuarts location, but he makes a perfectly executed dodge roll!
Stuart rushes into the store to escape this madness, and maybe grab some whiskey to help him survive the coming horde of vengeful wizards.
"Welcome to Willie's Whiskey, home of the finest whiskey in the city. What can I do ya for?"
Wake up and ask the bartender if he knows which one's Pink.
In case if he doesn't know which one's Pink, order myself a meal of fried chicken and beluga caviar.
If he does know which one's Pink, ask what's his favorite Pink Floyd album.
"Eh?" Unfortunately, even if this game takes place on earth, Pink Floyd probably won't exist for quite a while.
Also magic exists, so it probably never will due to the butterfly effect. But lets focus on less depressing news shall we?
"Certainly an odd meal. I'd say you have expensive tastes, but fried chicken too... Well, I'm sure you have your reasons. Let's see what I can do."
Cast 2+2: He lays out a few plates and does a bit of magic. Some fried chicken appears on one of the plates.
Cast 3+2-1(Difficult meal): Before your eyes, the plate fills with caviar of some variety. You're not sure its Beluga, but that seems unlikely.
"Hm, not my finest work, but I'm no luxury chef. Eat up. That food will only last so long."
"Hmmph."
Order a shot of Spirytus Rektyfikowany. Then collect all my booze and leave the bar.
Attempt to find another wizard.
The bartender breathes in sharply at your request. He urges you to come closer.
"Not so loud. Hold on a moment."
The two of you sit down at a corner table, and the conversation continues in hushed tones.
"Right, here's how it is. Officially speaking, current distillation technology is incapable of producing such a drink. People have died trying to prove otherwise. As such, attempting such a brew is forbidden. Any bottles that might exist are practically the drinks of kings, as the rumors say."
Once the bartender finishes this grave lecture, he changes tone once more.
"That's the official view mind. I don't know where you heard those words, but be very careful who you speak them to. Unofficially speaking, I may or may not know of someone who can make the stuff. But you've got to do something for me first, so I know I can trust you. Do we have a deal?"
Un-daze myself, then enter the alley.
Heal 6: Calacachura shakes himself out of his lightning induced daze. There's probably still some residual damage, but he has clarity for now.
Search 6: As Calacachura enters the alleyway, he is immediately assaulted by the distinctive smell of a dead body. As he examine's the body, he sees that it is wearing some kind of robe and hat. Could this be a wizard's corpse? Only one way to see.
Sure. Enter... I'm not actually late for class, after all. What a relief. Professor Henderson would have used Defenestrate From Airplane already on me back in my student days... Reminisce about my school days.
Enter/Remember 4: Dominick heads past the gates, entering the wards of SpellWhipped once more. He feels oddly nostalgic about the whole affair as he walks the grounds of the college.
Ah, Old Man Henderson. Not that anyone called him that to his face, lest they face his wrath. The man was absolutely mad, but almost all of the best wizards are for some reason. Even by comparison, he was something else. Even now, Dominick still didn't have the slightest idea if any of the stories about him were true. Only one thing is certain. That one student that sold Feather Fall castings made a killing off Professor Henderson's class.
Dominick makes his way toward the main building, watching the uniformed wizards in training running about the grounds. Odds are only one in a hundred can even cast a single spell. Was he really that small once?
The pentagonal tower known as Dominus Hall stands before him. Just about all administrative processes at the college happen here. Why had Dominick's feet taken him to this building of all places? Perhaps he'd headed here to ask for directions one too many times, and was subconciously guided here by his instincts. If he wants to find something or someone at the college, this is probably the best place to ask.
Go and look for another wizard

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.
