Give the monicle to Nivm in exchange for removing the cursed ring.
[3] You wait for Nivm to show up, then ask him to get the ring off. He does, but the spell ends up ripping off half your finger as well [3] you can take the pain, but it's gonna need bandaged at least before your concentration will be up to what it should be.(-1 to mental actions, will get progressively worse until the bleeding is stopped)
Your crew also reports that the ship is ready for takeoff any time now.
Charge the monster and attack the monster with my flail again!
[2+1] You swing at the creature while it's distracted, [6+1] And smash another head. Just one more to go.
competent flail user(+1 to all rolls)
Kill him!
[6] The creature charges at you in a berserk rage, [4-1] and bowls you over. you manage to avoid any major damage, but it impales itself on your armor, and got hurt pretty bad.
...try again at another pit...
[6] You try again, this time going for a more direct approach. Your minions scare the wizards off, breaking the circle and allowing you to slip through. Down below, you find... another city? This place appears to be a mirror image of the one above, but you can't seem to locate any people.
develop a spell that allows my summons to be placed in my phylactery
[2] You start to develop a spell to store your summons safely in the phylactery, but then realize that most of them are not bound to it at all. You will first have to re-cast the (luckily simple) linking spell on all of them before you can begin..
FIRE AT ABBADON!
While my satellite attacks, I also send searing lasers from my eyes to sizzle Abbadon in a double attack!
[4] You fire your eye-lasers and your satellite simultaneously [5,6] Direct hit! Both beams strike Abbadon, but he was too close, and the satellite strike you as well, burning you even worse than before.
light magic(no epic fails)
Contine blasting his face with fire attacks BUT if i see the DEATH RAY push shadowdump into it!
[3] You hear SHAD0Wdump calling for his satellite and jump toward him, but are unable to get out of the blast radius due to him shooting his own lasers at you. You do manage to get close enough to him to at least take him with you, moving so that he is within the beam when the satellite strikes.
After the smoke clears, both combatants have collapsed, severely burned by the fire and lasers.
(essentially, the winner is whoever manages to wake up first for the coup-de-grace)
I check the Table of Contents to see if there are any instructions or normal information on runes, then see why we haven't arrived yet. Did the pilot lose his bearings?
[5] You read a bit more of the the book, and find that it does not contain any information on actually creating runes, it is merely a tool allowing those who do not understand magic to cast rune spells. A strange thing to find in a wizard's tower... You then get up and look for the pilot to ask what's taking so long. Apparently, laziness: he's been flying pretty slowly. Regardless, you're finally back to the pirate ship, just in time to find Flint complaining about a cursed ring he put on. You attempt to remove it by shapeshifting it off of his finger. [6+1] Hmm... Looks like curses can't be escaped that way, not that that's gonna stop the spell. The ring is removed from Flint, but it takes a good chunk of his ring finger with it.
