I had hoped for other suggestions?.. One per person?

I'd say the giant monster getting impaled on a spear of stone was the best part of that fight. RTDs are a rather difficult thing to visualize, seeing as everything is in a state of flux until observed, and even then details may change at anytime.


No I am not putting the update off due to chronic lazy, why would you even think that?

[Nivim]

 I take some force out of the words I put in the acronym tag; the lighting and magma ocean shore are turning out to be the hardest parts. There are no real life references for what happens when you have waves and tides of molten rock; each one is going to leave a mark on the stone: either removing some, leaving an indentation; adding some, leaving a protrusion; or distorting some, leaving random lines. It's like Concave and Convex except natural, messy, and...the lighting. The only way I can give the molten rock its glow is by making everything else darker, especially since volcanic rock is usually black. The problem is I can't give most things the detail they need that way, like the tower's stairs.

[dragnar]

Investigate the sites of the activity and see if I can find out what happened here.

[2] You can't seem to find anything else. All you can see is that the inhabitants seem to have simply dropped what they were doing and left.

Test the liquid a bit on myself to make sure it's safe if it is then give it to my dragon.

[2] You drink a bit of the strange liquid, but it doesn't seem to have any immediate side effects. Seeing no danger, you feed the rest to your drake. It seems to no longer be hungry.

scan the shadows of the city for things/places/people of interest

[3] The city seems pretty ordinary... on the outside. You cannot sense anything at all from inside the uniform gray buildings that make up half the city, meaning something is blocking your search.

I fly the chariot to the portal and enter the wind plane.(it is wind plane right?)

[5] You fly through the portal and even manage to locate Malak through the power of META.

I poke the glass a couple times to see if I can increase the range by 10x (since 100 meters is still within visual range) and limit it to threatening objects. "Oh, Legion, Theric, I thought you aught to know we're going pirate hunting. Also, start slowing the ship out of warp now so we don't go splat." Then, testing my range (or OOC reading), I ask Flint "Wanna' go pirate hunting?"

(Fear the powers of the dice! There was nothing here before you decided to search the place.)
[4] You manage to zoom the display out after a bit of fiddling. This also reduces the level of detail displayed greatly, making the display much more manageable. As you do this you notice something on the edge of the radar.    It appears to be a large ship. And by "large", I mean Legion looks small comparatively.
Flint still doesn't respond to your messages, but you can faintly contact his mind even from this distance.

"With the power vested in me as the sovereign representative of the Plane of Fire --
--Known for its cleansing flame and non-planar configuration--
I demand the immediate identification of this contamination now!"

I am insulted you think I wouldn't see the reference without a link... but that has nothing to do with your roll, I promise. You failed without my aid.
[1] You attempt to lawyer the darkness into identifying itself. The darkness wills that your laws do not apply to it. "Bink!" And it was so. Besides, you have no lawninja.

Politely ask a passerby directions to their equivalent of a town hall.
The place their mayor or such hangs out.

[6] You locate the town hall. You do this by yelling at random people, demanding to be taken to their leader. Eventually someone points you in the right direction just to shut you up.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Land on Legion... Somewhere...
 Introduce myself?

[Flintus10]

Spose I will react to the faint message I can hear in my mind untill it is loud enough that I can hear Nivm.

Quick note: I'll be starting a new forum game soon, also based on magic mainly, but not an RTD. More complex magical rules than that.

Spoiler: rules (click to show/hide)

1. spells are in the format ? ? | ? ? | ?
2. Each ? represents a word/rune that goes in that slot. The first two slots have the same possible runes(the second slot is optional), all others are unique to that slot.
3. Each section(divided by vertical lines) controls a different aspect of the spell.
5. What do the three sections mean? Figure it out yourself.
6. What words create what effects? Figure it out yourself.
7. How do the words interact to form spells? Figure it out yourself.
8. How do you get more words? Find them yourself.

Basically, you have to find all the rules of the spell system yourself, then use the spells you discover to search out greater components for greater spells. Your end goal is whatever you want, world domination, immortality, simple power, etc.

So, anyone interested?

Very busy tonight but yes, I am interested.

Depends... Am I my own character, or are the players driving a single character?

[dragnar]

And yet you didn't recognize the orphan...

Yes I did... I think. There's only one person I can think of who could survive such a tragedy... again.

I'm going after him(well, her now...) because he has seen the dread lattice of black magic, and I want to collect more evil. Also, as I said, this world is invincible while he lives. And his death might destroy the universe in paradox, but that's just a bonus!

Everyone gets their own character. I'm thinking about handling parts of the game through PM so that the players can keep their spells secret from each other.

Totally in then. And PMing spell formulas and whatnot sounds like a good plan.

[Nivim]

 I am certainly up for such a forum game, with magic in the form of magic and mystery. "And I'll pull these fate strings twixt."

(Fear the powers of the dice! There was nothing here before you decided to search the place.)

Then your memory is getting worse; something had to destroy that village at the plane's entry! =⌡

 [ ] I hail the newcomer using telepathy, and use the windows to see if he's marked as an enemy, ally, or neutral. I introduce myself with "My Name is Malak: I am Captain of the Living Ship, Legion; expert Purveyor of Polymorph; and▬ who the blazes are you and what business do you with me? And tell those holy pigeons to stop making that holy racket!" I will shake hands when applicable. With my metaphysical action I will make a few cannon balls hollow with enough space to fit Erreti.

I fly the chariot to the portal and enter the wind plane.(it is wind plane right?)

[5] You fly through the portal and even manage to locate Loki through the power of META.

Don't you mean locate Malak? Or locate Flint? Loki is Rolan's character.

 On Erreti's "regeneration", isn't that the exact same thing all players usually get (but Shadow stopping getting for his broken leg)?

I only have one guess as to what this is about, and I think it's wrong. Care to enlighten me?

Yes, but it's location was undecided until just now.

Hmm... yeah, that's not very clear. Erreti gets two healing rolls. The regeneration is extra. Also, broken limbs don't heal without magical aid... though I'll bet I've broken that rule at some point.

Rolan's RTD. I'm Black Mage. I casts the spells that make the peoples fall down!!!

 Shakes hands with Malak.

It's Luki!  MY NAME IS LUKI!
(Not actually upset whatsoever.  It comes up so rarely)

Your Dr. Mcninja guess made me spit-take.  And I wasn't drinking anything.  Good comic, but wrong guess.
