Professor Oak will try to finish assistant 2 training.
Professor Elm will make so mankey can evolve into primeape
(teaching) [1d6+skill bonus = 2+1 = 3]
(learning) [1d6 = 4]
Professor Oak teaches and the assistant learns. He’ll need a name, won’t he?
(primeape) [1d6+skill bonus = 6-1 = 5] Professor Elm does so.
As soon as everything’s ready, let’s port the crate over to Nix’s lab, and then go over there ourselves; I want to see this happen.
You teleport the crate to the laboratory of Amadeus Nix.
You and Raburn drive over there and knock on the door, but your only response is faint sounds of machinery and a text from Bastet.
Arcanologists staging coups worldwide, can’t send a physical representative to meet you, preparing to exfiltrate Adderson.
"FHAK"
Do several long distance teleports in a circle to get around the roadblock. With the car. Then keep on driving.
(multitasking) [1d6 = 2] You have to take your hands off the wheel to use the portal gun, but you manage to do all but the last teleport successfully thanks to the fact that off the road, there are no obstacles.
(car accident) [1d6 -1 = 2-1 = 1] The final portal opens and you drive through, but right after it closes your car is rammed off the road by a desperately decelerating truck.
(injuries) [1d6 = 6] The car flips on its side and lands upside-down, but the many airbags of your car expand outward and prevent you from being injured… or doing anything else, like moving.
”Bow down before your betters warlock, lest you meet your end.”
Siphon power and knowledge from the pharoh to heal myself, then send him through the portal the mummies came from, and order him to seal it back off. after having successfully removed the pharaoh from our dimension, break the warlocks mind into pieces and leave them in a coma if they refuse to submit.
You are fully healed! All detrimental effects have been removed! You have gained an incredibly versatile repertoire of spells!The pharaoh expands the portal and heads through it.
(1d6 +2(eldritch) +2(power) -1(wounded) = 2+2+2-1 = 5) vs (1d6 +2(precognition) +2(shield) +2(anti-eldritch) = 3+2+2+2 = 11)
(1d6 +3(psychic) +2(power)-2(power lessened by anti-eldritch) = 5+3+2-2 =
vs (1d6 +2(eldritch) -1(wounded) = 4+2-1 = 5)
The warlock launches a lightning bolt at you, but you dissipate some of it and toss the rest back it him, further injuring him. The mummies should stop him from stopping you from stopping the Dark Pharaoh...
(1d6 +3(psychic) +2(eldritch) = 2+3+2 = 7) vs (1d6 +5(eldritch) -1(fading docility) = 5+5-1 = 9)
The Dark Pharaoh breaks free of your control by himself.
He returns through the portal, and with a flicker of power, the mummies are dispelled and the warlock is restored.
He speaks… but not at you, and not in any Earthly tongue.
{QUESTION(CAPABILITY)+ORDER: ASSISTANCE(FROM)-(DIMINUTIVE(SARCASTIC))SCION(MINE)}The sand shakes, and from it rises a pyramid-textured mecha, at least thirty feet tall and bearing an emblem of the Egyptian flag. Sitting atop it is a bubble of space that rejects the attempts of any of your senses to observe it.
The sands are still shaking, and the Dark Pharaoh is observing you.
somehow you ended up with a mobile wooden fortress/cabin/RV. It only moves at about five miles per hour, but still...
"Well at least it still can move."
Buy some gas masks and filters then alter the masks to fit the deer, and keep teaching the deer about chemistry, also turn on the TV and see whats going on in the news.
You buy and modify some deer gas masks.
You continue teaching the deer chemistry.
(static) [1d6 = 5] The picture suffers from heavy static, and it’s hard to see what’s going on. The audio also suffers from intermittent errors.
“-Kkzrvrtsss- this emergency notice: Worldwide, various conspiracies are using -rrtrrtrttrrtrrrtrrt- methods to stage coups. Thanks to the -hhhhhhh- of the federal government and the -dreeEEEEN DREEeeen-, the United States has the situation under control, a fact soon to be shared by Europe as -tztztztzzzz- meet at the Athens Conference. No other country not bordering the North Atlantic should be treated as safe due to the likelihood of countercoups. Citizens are advised to- what? Um, er, it seems that -krtrkrtrkrtrkrtrkrtrk- is targeting communications satellites. This emergency notice will-”
And then it cuts out completely.
Design rocket manufacturing facility, not including the fuel
[1d6 +skill bonus(machine) = 6-1 = 5] You design a rocket manufacturing facility. It doesn’t include the fuel or the non-manufacturable non-reusables, but that should be good enough.
Have 1 of the queens come up here with 10 ants, and reprogram them with a new material, as well as now protocols.
(Solar Panels makeup, Alchemy-machine make-up makeup, worker program for laying the parts the Alchemy machine makes.)
Make the Portal to the moon, and send them through. They can make the base solar panels, given time, and build their own nest on the moon.
Afterward, finish the purifier, adding a way for the none-usable elements to leave the machine for later use in other projects..
(fate) [1d6+1 = 2+1 = 3]
You open the portal and send the nanobots through, but it abruptly closes before you can do anything more.
(purifier) [1d6 +skill bonus +skill bonus(machine) = 1+1+1 = 3] You messed up again. Instead of only the non-usable elements being filtered out, the “purifier” acts as nothing more than a pipe.
Call upon Astral horrors to consume infidel defiler, ( he still has nice horror mark rune on his head from two turns earlier)
Try to finish madman( not myself)' with lightening bolt
Assist dark pharaoh in Resisting foolish attempt at dominating him
[1d6 +2(eldritch) +1(fading horror mark) = 1+2+1 = 4] An astral horror begins to descend from space, but it is weak and lacking in eldritch power.
[1d6 +2(eldritch) = 5+2 = 7] You launch a lightning bolt at him…
But he dissipates some of it and redirects the rest at you. You are not killed, but you are on the verge of death and the mummies are approaching...
The Dark Pharaoh expands the portal that the mummies once came from and goes through. He then begins closing it. Surely he will break free…?
Desperately, you attempt to free the Dark Pharaoh’s mind...
(1d6 +2(eldritch) -2(mortally wounded) = 3+2-2 = 3] But are unable to change much.
Even without your help, the Dark Pharaoh breaks free of the paratrooper’s control. You rise, and the mummies fall.
You feel the sands shaking, and observe the new servant of the Dark Pharaoh with interest.
