Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 I'm not quite sure why I feel anger, considering the tone of this game, Dragnar, but could you please not quote something I didn't post? It would have been no quote, or quoting what I did post but not reacting to it. (Memory Clarity: [5]) Got it, this is why:

Teleport us again. To the cave I say!

[6] And to the cave you go! You might have put a little too much power in that spell though, and you pass out soon after arriving.
Unconscious!
arcane magic(3/4 exp.)

Be unconscious while spinning in the air.

[6] You remain unconscious, but everyone else sees you start to float up in the air and spin wildly! You begin to slowly drift around, [4] but manage to avoid crashing into anything.
Useless power gained: levitates and spins around while sleeping!

Wake up and read Book of Beasts,because everyone should enjoy reading a book whenever the hell they do wake up.

[4][5]You wake up and start to read. And read. And read. You read the entire book or beasts, and commit it to memory. You now possess instant knowledge of any beast known to man, and can determine their strengths and weaknesses.

Also combined with the comment that I chose when to pass out, with the insinuation possibility that I also chose when to wake up. Then compounded by the fact that it was a fine time to pass out, if I had to do so, since there wasn't anything I could have done to help the battle that round, nor was I being attacked.

Now then...

 [ ] "Legion knows!" to SHAD0W, but I remind it to do so, with the targeting information. After merging my box into the deck, I greet the drake again, and ask why he grew up so fast? For physical, I check to see if my book has a rune of hostile magic resistance, rune of hostile magic deflection, or a rune of hostile magic absorbtion. If it does, do they allow the user to specify what's hostile on a case-by-case basis?

 So if it's random limbs from random creatures, how are all of them holding weapons? Are there weapons falling below the mass from when non-grasping limbs were spawned with them? Do these weapons vanish?

Hadn't thought about it. But yeah, I probably should have just quoted your action and then ignored it. The reason you didn't get an action this turn was because, unlike shadow, your last action knocked you out for exactly one turn, instead of you passing out for an unspecified time due to injury. Also because of the PM stuff replacing your usual turn.

Also combined with the comment that I chose when to pass out, with the insinuation possibility that I also chose when to wake up. Then compounded by the fact that it was a fine time to pass out, if I had to do so, since there wasn't anything I could have done to help the battle that round, nor was I being attacked.

All I meant was you passed out for a moment and awoke to find a whole lot had changed. You missed a lot in a short period of time.

Also, I wouldn't have given SHAD0W that joke ability if I had actually expected it to get used for something!

[Nivim]

 Neither of our actions involved injury; we both rolled a [6] on a semi-powerful spell and fell unconscious. Although I guess you did specify one turn, in a PM.

 I seem to have failed my usual checking; both SHAD0Wdump and I failed to get experience that turn, then the experience completely petered out.

[dragnar]

Really? Huh... oh well, too late to change anything.

As for the experience... oops. Fixed now, though I didn't add it to the turns... I don't like editing old stuff. You do have your exp though. It leveled Flintus up too.

[Nivim]

 I think I missed some other experience gains too...So it's no experience for [1] or [2], but what for [3]-[6]? I was sure you had written this down somewhere, but I am not Footkerchief.

3: 1

5: 3
6: 2

Plus a point or two depending on various factors. Mainly the elemental artifacts and how awesome your results were.

[Nivim]

 A dearth of awesome subtracts points...
 (Refraction Distraction.)
 From the last 18 turns before turn 97, I found 8 possible skill gains. In stats, I can't really tell what's been updated for the last 2-3 turns. Flint does not have the level mentioned though.

Harvest the hydra's organs and/or skin for enchanting components.

[3] You try to gather parts of the hydra to use in your magic, but can't cut up much of it. You do manage to harvest some of it's fireproof skin though.

Spoiler:  Daemon: 2exp; Novice Arcane Magic (click to show/hide)

use the beacon pebble

[4] While you aren't quite sure how the pebble SHAD0W gave you works, you manage to discern enough about it''s workings to track all but one of the other pebbles to the plane of fire. The last is in the plane of air.

Spoiler:  SHAD0Wdump: 2exp; Light Magic (click to show/hide)

I use my laser vision to see through the walls!

[6] You use your lasers to burn through the walls. As the wall begins to crumble black tendrils begin to appear from the cracks, slowly spreading outward from the hole.

Spoiler:  Malak: 1exp; Skilled Polymorpher (click to show/hide)

I polymorph my tongue and vocal chords so I can say two different things at the same time. I don't want it to be noticeable until I speak, and not even then if I'm careful. I then get antsy and go find Flint.
Erreti makes sure he's on the ship. The ship goes out of town and up the column.

[5+1]You alter your voice in such a way that you can say two different things at once. This effect works by *insert technobabble here*(I don't know much about how sound works, so just assume your explanation is correct). After making sure Erreti is onboard you command the ship to set out, rising up the column the city is carved into.

Spoiler:  Luki: 3exp; Novice Aided Flight (Ungraceful) (click to show/hide)

Jetpack my way to the top of one of the buildings.  Look around for entrances up there, or any signs of people in this city.

[5] You head to the roof of the nearest building and take a look around. There don't seem to be any entrances up here either, but if does look like the city is separated into two parts. The one you are in is full of dark featureless buildings, while you think you can see signs of movement and normal habitation on the other side.

Spoiler:  Luki: 3exp; Novice Summoner (click to show/hide)

Summon Law-Imps.

[5] ...You summon law-imps. You somehow manage to use your artifact to call forth three imps from elsewhere in the plane, deep below the magma sea. They specialize in demonic contracts, and in fact they instantly offer you great power if you are willing to sign on the dotted line...

Spoiler:  SHAD0Wdump: 2exp; Scroll Scribe (click to show/hide)

Attempt creation of the scroll again, that must have been a fluke...

[6-1] You manage to create the scroll properly this time, even with Malak yammering in your ear the whole time. You have no idea what this will summon, but it won't be nice, that's for sure... and no ordinary weapon will be able to kill it.

Spoiler:  SHAD0Wdump: 1-3exp; Proficient Arcane Magic (click to show/hide)

Fine, I implement a cannon into Legion's bow. Still handing Malak his scroll.

[5] You hand over the scroll and begin summoning another of your laser cannons. The spell works perfectly, even with some wood in the way, and Legion is soon outfitted with a new laser cannon! [4] It has a mostly full charge and should be able to fire next turn.

(Continued on other post.)

  Flerb. (That's what I, Nivm, say. Not either of the singers.) Reading it again, I think I need to build up more rhythm next time. I didn't think it needed to do so, but it does.

[dragnar]

A dearth of awesome subtracts points... Nah.
 (Refraction Distraction.)
 From the last 18 turns before turn 97, I found 8 possible skill gains. In stats, I can't really tell what's been updated for the last 2-3 turns. Flint does not have the level mentioned though. Hmm? He is now... wait... oh, I upgraded the ability but didn't change the rank.

Spoiler:  Luki: 1exp; Novice Butcher (click to show/hide)

Harvest the hydra's organs and/or skin for enchanting components.

[3] You try to gather parts of the hydra to use in your magic, but can't cut up much of it. You do manage to harvest some of it's fireproof skin though.

I've tried to stop giving out quite so many random skills. That would come up rarely enough that it would never reach very high level anyway.

Spoiler:  Daemon: 2exp; Novice Arcane Magic (click to show/hide)

[4] While you aren't quite sure how the pebble SHAD0W gave you works, you manage to discern enough about it''s workings to track all but one of the other pebbles to the plane of fire. The last is in the plane of air.

He didn't really work any arcane magic, he just used the already enchanted object SHAD0W had given him.

Again: I don't want to give out too many narrow skills. A bonus to flight would be gained by upgrading the jetpack.

He's summoned that thing 3 times now. He even got a new skill out of it. No exp from summoning the same thing over and over.

(Continued on other post.)

  Flerb. (That's what I, Nivm, say. Not either of the singers.) Reading it again, I think I need to build up more rhythm next time. I didn't think it needed to do so, but it does.

[Nivim]

 I meant subtracting experience points from the base roll value, not from the skill. Like how I have 1 experience listed for my [5], when the roll list would say it's 3 experience.
...
 Thus summoning the cannon into a solid object wouldn't have had explosive and grievous consequences on a [1] or [6]?

 You fear the stats page! Fear it! You fear it will become too powerful and swallow you whole!

[dragnar]

Working on the turn now.

You fear the stats page! Fear it! You fear it will become too powerful and swallow you whole!

Quite you.

[Dermonster]

Its spelled quiet.

why did i post this.

[Nivim]

Quite you.

Quite me, indeed.

Its spelled quiet.

why did i post this.

Quiet you.

 (I'm inebriated on sleep exhaustion again.)

[dragnar]

Quite you.

Quite me, indeed.

...SILENCE!!!
I'll update status in a sec.

Abandon ship and fly on my cloud, also attempt to distract the chaos being.

[5+1] You fly around the thing at high speed, trying to confuse it. You aren't sure though, since it was just coated in a large black ball.

I...uh..cheer my dragon on, for a morale boost or something

[3] Your cheering is largely ignored.

bring forth a legion of shadow rats to scour this wretched world for this cowardly being who dare interrupt my plan

[2+2] You conjure shadow rats. They attack the thing that interrupted your plans. They burn.
dark magic exp.

I create a arcane shield around the... chaos thing. This one calibrated to reflect light within itself, but allow just about anything in.

Malak! Fire the cannon!

[5] You erect a barrier around the thing that will allow light in, but not out. The spell works perfectly as far as you can tell... which isn't very well, as the surface of the barrier is solid black.
arcane magic exp.

"Legion knows!" to SHAD0W, but I remind it to do so, with the targeting information. After merging my box into the deck, I greet the drake again, and ask why he grew up so fast? For physical, I check to see if my book has a rune of hostile magic resistance, rune of hostile magic deflection, or a rune of hostile magic absorbtion. If it does, do they allow the user to specify what's hostile on a case-by-case basis?

Legion fires on the thing, [5] scoring a direct hit through SHAD0W's shield. [1] You fail to find any of the runes you are looking for, and try conversing telepathically with the newly-grown dragon instead. "My growth? I surmise that it is a side-effect of the food from that grail. It had no immediate effect, but as soon as the battle began I become overwhelmingly hungry, and began to grow as fast as I could eat." Hmm, it also seems to have given the dragon much greater intelligence than it's kind usually possess.

Attempt to combust the shadow-plant network from this central location.  The source may be dead, but the city is still infested.  Besides, setting things on fire seems like a reasonable move for me.

[5] BURN! BURN! BURN!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You incinerate the entire network, replacing tendrils of shadow with tendrils of fire. Odd... it's starting to get hot inside this fireball.

Well, Ignoring that my teammate is now apparently a sentient fireball, Try to find my way back up top.

[3] You manage to follow the path left by the burnt roots back to the surface.

[1] Nothing seems to happen, and presumably the thing is being hit by Legion's laser repeatedly.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Well uh... Do we see if the being is properly microwaved? But with lasers?

[Dermonster]

Check on the townspeople i guess. The plants gone, so they should be recovering from whatever.
