I am going to call a "rocks fall everyone dies" scenario on the GM here.  NO! BAD GM. NO QUITTING.  ... grumble grumble ... railroading grumble straight to hell grumble...

I automagically find more companions.  Because one dwarf against the world, no, that just wont cut it for a story...

(we DO have a waiting list, right?)
Yup... Here. 1 I can see.

I don't know if he does, but this is actually starting to be successful.  You can't quit once you get going, you know.

No. Our GM cannot quit.  I couldn't give a damn about you.

I was planning on wrapping it up. The directionless open-world adventure I had going was was getting pretty stale... which is why I brought the demons in. I actually decided to bring them in around turn 30, and decided to wait another 30 turns to summon them. I gave Kilakan a chance at stopping it, but that didn't work out so well...

Anyway, now that the demons are in, it's not directionless and stale anymore... so I could accept new players. If I do that however, I would need more interest than from just you, Derm. And I don't just mean Kilakan and Nhilist making new characters. I need fresh meat. If this happened, I would also make a new thread, since a lot of the rules have changed since the game started.

Alternatively, after armageddon ravages the world(even if Nirur and Z. Chris stop it, the damage would still be significant) I could start a new RTD based in the same world.

I'd like to get in this if you decide to do it.

I hope I survive this, so I can become some sort of ultra-powerful NPC archmagi healer type in the sequel.

I might just make that squel then. I already have ideas for the plotline and bosses.

Anyway, next turn:

I like that crystal. Combined with my ring of healing and my auto-regenerate ability, I will be unstoppable!

Well, unless I'm threatened. I sorta fear I'm going to have to practice fencing on Torillerb soon.

Using both my masterful knowledge of healing and my knowledge of runecrafting, I attempt to devise a rune while will revive me if I die.
5: Deciding that a simple healing rune would be a waste on such a valuable object, you begin to carve a complex array of runes into the surface of the crystal. You link runes of healing, energy, finesse, flames, and agility together, one rune on each face of the crystal. As you finish the complex array of symbols, the runes glow with a crimson light and the crystal changes from a misty gray color to a brilliant vermilion. You can almost see a tiny, flickering flame inside the crystal. Picking it up, it no longer feels cool; rather, a comfortable warmth spreads throughout your body.

New Artifact: Pheonix Tear
+6 to Runecrafting


I automagically find more companions.  Because one dwarf against the world, no, that just wont cut it for a story...
3: You are unable to automagically find anything, let along adventuring companions. Instead, you return to LoweredPants to warn them of the impending threat. At first they believe it is a ploy to gain re-admittance to the fort, but a new group of migrants arrives and announces they saw the same thing.

Oh, and your lung collapses. You really should have done something about that.

I can say that I wish to join, either here or in the presumed sequel.

Okay, I have one more thing to do here. Then I'll go look for my last living companion.

I grab what I can carry from the treasure chest, then read up on banishments from the book. One never knows when a banishment might possibly be useful.

No it doesn't.  The lung, I mean.  I'm a dwarf.  You didn't even roll for healing.  Also, can I keep my character? Automagically?
