It is... usually. These things absorb magic, so that action was pretty much doomed from the start.(in hindsight, it probably would have been more clear if I just wrote auto-fail for your roll) Not to mention, nothing much did happen. There's one more creature, sure, but they already fill the city.

Quote from: Flintus10
Wear the ring of stealth and land at the city and look around.
[3+1] You wear your magic ring and then take advantage of the confusion in the city to land unnoticed. It's pretty easy to sneak around at the moment, everyone near the docks in in a panic because of your storm.

Quote from: Jervous
Ask around town to see where the other elven town is.
[1] After asking around for a bit you discover that there are no other towns near here. The druids must have ben taking you to some sort of temporary camp, and the other elves have no idea where it is.

Quote from: stonemt
figure out exactly what that thing did to me..
[5] You ponder what the creatures did to your shadow-body. As far as you can tell these creatures are some sort or magical construct, capable of absorbing magic to create more of themselves. They are most likely the failed experiment of some crazed wizard, seeking out life to drain of magic.(life-force is a sort of magic, though unaffected by most spells) That also explains how they are acting- mad wizards tend to impart a good deal of their megalomania to their creations.

Quote from: Diakron
took out the tower and the besties in it, now reward me!
[3] The elves are astounded by this, and lead you back to their leader. He is happy to reward you, and after a bit of though he sends another elf to fetch something. He then informs you "we have little of value here, but we do have a few animals you might find interesting." The other elf returns with several cages containing trained lions, tigers, and bears(I couldn't resist). "you may have any one of these animals, though we need the rest for trade."

Quote from: SHADOWdump
Travel to my orbital cannon, crack open the book of summoning to learn a spell that allows me to summon the cannon between the separate planes.
 Also, offer Luki the book of enchantments, sounds like something he could use alot, up to him though.
[4] After a quick read through your book you find a spell that should do the trick. You won't be able to test it until you get to another plane though.(+1 to attempting to summon the cannon) You also hand Luki your book of enchantments, thinking he will get more use out of it than you can.

Quote from: Nivm
Looking at the massive storm on the "horizon" I wonder aloud what happened to the ship, then get the pilot to go down as we go there so we might find the stuff falling out. If we veer to close to something too fast, I use telekinesis to keep the ship on track.
[3] You fly down below the storm, but can't seem to catch any of the falling debris. Or more accurately, you could... but the pieces are quite large and would probably smash your ship to pieces.

Quote from: rolan7
Cast an insulation enchantment from the book on my cloak, so I can muffle my pauldron with it later.
[3] You enchant you cloak to block the effects of your pauldron. You then realize you do not have a cloak, and have nothing to cast such a spell on.

Oh, well, I meant my robe.  Robe, cloak, large swath of insulating cloth, same thing right?
Can't complain about experience points, though!
Get in ShadowDUMP's chariot and insulate my robe.

Yes, but it was a good excuse for your failure. ;D

Pick up Rolan and head to the portal place. Also, I'd like to finally take a look at that curious little Nth Dimensional Cup Holder

 So the only thing that Stone's transformation did was give him the ability to absorb magic? Or no effect at all?

 [ ] Grab chunks of ships (especially engines, whole rooms, and engine rooms) with my mind and absorb them into our own ship with my magic. If there are people on the falling wreckage, I try to make sure they don't become a part of the ship, just passengers.

 One of the greatest parts about that picture was that the pilot was using a steering wheel for a plane...one handed!

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

Huh? It's the creatures in the city that absorb magic, he is some sort of sentient mist spread throughout the whole place. One of the creatures absorbed a false body he made for himself.

Explore the town and see what I can find out about this place. In particular search for a criminal element.

[1] You wander about the town for a while, searching for some crime-ridden areas to rebuild your crew from. You can't see to find any criminals, but you do find the law! This section of town had been put under lockdown while the police force searches for you.

Quote from: Jervous
Give up searching and go ask around for quests.
[6] You give up looking for the druids and instead ask if the people here have anything for you to do. Before you have found anyone with a job for you you hear screaming from the other side of town. Looking over there, you see that a giant is attacking. It appears you have found your quest.

Quote from: stonemt

[6] You think you can destroy these things pretty easily. They are composed of pure magic, so in theory you should be able to simply reverse their draining ability and draw the magic out of all of them. The only thing you aren't sure of is what absorbing that much magic would do to you...

Quote from: Diakron
Take a tiger... then turn it into a literal Snow Tiger by changing it into magical ice
[1+1] You choose one of the tigers and try to transform it into a creature of living ice. Well... you got it half right at least, and it's a very nice ice sculpture, but not quite what you were going for. Luckily you manage to reverse the spell quickly before it becomes permanent.

Quote from: SHADOWdump

[4] You and rolan set out to the portals while you take a closer look at the cupholder on your chariot. It appears normal, but seems capable of holding any object, no matter how large, inside. While this was intended to only hold beverages(of the gods!) you think it should function as a built-in bag of holding!

[5+1] You guide as many pieces of the falling ships over to your own as you can. After gathering a sufficient number you Cause your ship to warp, changing shape as it merges with one piece after another. Soon your ship looks nothing like what it once did, and now appears to be some sort of tiny death star, a spherical mass of wood bristling with cannons.
Ship expanded(check statuses for the new parts... that 6 did more than you might think)

[6] You hop in the chariot with SHAD0Wdump and cast the spell you had prepared on your robe. It should block the effects of your pauldron when used, allowing your gun to fire. Of course, it also brings back it's backlash...
