How should we handle ATHATH's words, PW?  Did he just keel over, and we need to loot his words manually?  Or can we say that we got his words before the mission, and thus can distribute them freely? 

Also, what words is he even considered to have?  Permanent and PolymorphWholeBody are two, of course, but does he also have RR's words?  Or Death's Friend's old words?  The last spell he cast was specifically using all his remaining DF words up at once in order to get a random effect, but it's unclear whether his DF words would have regenned after that, or if they'd be permanently lost since he joined RR not long after.

Assume he only had Permanent and Polymorphwholebody

When it comes to trading with NPCS you basically are either giving them the magic you've absorbed via transferring directly into them, or you're literally walking over and saying "Gold" and trading the big lump of gold with them.

Uh, what? When we summon things they disappear not long after, remember?

Yeah...you're basically trading counterfeit money but hey, you are a gang.

((@Piecewise I believe, at the very least, he also must've had R-R's own words, as taking them has been explicitly discussed and mentioned.))

Can we assume Abu takes the words then, seeing as how he’s closest to atata’s char right now?

Secondly, what exactly happens to the char itself? Disappear in a puff of inaction, or does it become a braindead meatbag?

Did we? Because as I remember and was stated above, he used all his words up except those two in order to try and randomly get something good. And his gang fell apart as soon as he sacrificed them and failed that mission, so its not like he had a place to return to and get  his words refilled.

[Nikitian]

((@Piecewise Maybe. I'm not arguing for the previous gang's words, anyway; I'm arguing for his current gang's words, since after that sacrifice he has been accepted into Roncal-thol Rotheleaod, got a uniform tailored for, and even asked about the gang's words in preparation for the mission (and was answered). I think it's reasonable to say that he got our gang's words around then.

Also, I'm sorry for derailing the thread with mostly pointless arguing. ))

Somehow managed to catch the second plane to 'Nam to fight the commies, even though he was aiming to be on the first. This left him slightly bitter. Then he got teleported to this world of mystery and magic. This doesn't change matters much, Charlie just a look a little different 'round these parts.

"Ah, I see. Sorry for the confusion, it's just that we are a large group and I was worried that our entrance would be less-than-welcome."

Enter the Last Word. Motion the rest of Shadow Alliance to follow.

Then, to the rest of our group:
"If you want to, go ahead and look around for any books on subjects you like. Me and Chu will try and negotiate an alliance with whoever runs this place."

You enter and stop just inside. The interior is surprisingly well lit for a place with no windows. The floor is made out of some sort of cut white stones and 10 foot tall book cases are arranged in rows down the length of the singular large room that takes up the entire interior space. The book cases are flush to the ceiling above them and may actually constitute support beams. There's a central aisle with chairs and tables and above it the ceiling is open onto the second story. Upon on the second story roof are a set of 3 ornate chandeliers of differing size and make, clearly taken from somewhere else. They throw light down on the aisle and presumably on the second floor as well, though from down here all you can see is the railing around the opening in the second story's floor.

Shadow Alliance.

Head inside The Last Word.  Look for any picture books.

You walk inside and head straight past everyone else before turning left down one of the tight aisles between the book cases. The books seem to be arranged by subject, and then by alphabetical order of their titles. You chose the section marked "Children's Books". You aren't alone in the aisle. There's a boy of about 8 sitting on the floor with a leather bound book in his hands. He doesn't look up as you walk down the Aisle and stop at the section with the most bright and cheerful looking book covers.  You pick one at random and get an illustrated children's book of dinosaurs.

You take a look around. Aside from seeing what Chu and Shade do, you take note of the fact that there are guards at either end of the floor and another pair near the stairs. They're all wearing yellow like the first man, but their weapons differ. You notice that none of them have guns, they only have melee weapons.

Oh. Well you can have the RR words that he had on him as well.


As per if he drops dead or vanishes, we can do whichever you like.

A new gang eh? I'm good with that. And yes, you can only make a deck out of the words of your gang, you can't fill it with more or duplicates that you don't have even if you have the room for them.

Now then, you guys need to pick an area for your HQ. Any choices or questions about that?

So, what shall we use those new words for? Permanently turning me into a murder of darkness crows?

[DolosusDoleus]

Hmm... I choose (11,11). I think that’s the dark green square in the tradesman’s quarter. Anything else that needs to be done?
