> Thank Cacame for his help, and rest. While resting, ask if he is that Cacame Awemedinade.

You ask him.

"There is another?" he replies, curious. "I can assure you, however, that I am at least a Cacame Awemedinade, former Elf King of the Dwarves, if not the one."

Then you rest. You wake up back at camp, some time later. The elf is gone, but you turn around to see him practicing with a warhammer.

What do you do?

[Acanthus117]

approach a tree and cast a spell using glyph of life on it. With less glyphs, I bet we can get better results.

Also, munch on some vinegar-y blobs, then drink water. ask Cacame what they are.

[Armok]

Ask cacame abaut safety in spellcasting

Test out varius combinations that are not to risky. As many as posible

> Munch on some vinegar-y blobs, then drink water. ask Cacame what they are.

You squeeze one, and some white silvery slime comes out. You eat one, and the taste slikghtly sour. You eat a few and chug them down with water. You show them o the elf, asking him to identify them, and he replies,

"They are bacterial colonies."

You suddenly feel nauseous.

(Will post the other stuff when I get home. Until then, place some more commands in the queue if you want to.))

[Acanthus117]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Ask him if they are poisonous, and then cast a spell using only a life glyph on a tree.

[Nivim]

 Armok, that's a bit vague, because we don't know what's risky till we try it or the elf answers. I also suspect that our previous epic failure was the GM's response to trying such packed commands.

> Ask Cacame about tips on how to reduce the danger of practicing magic.
> See what happens when you use the life rune with nothing else, if anything.

[qwertyuiopas]

All of them are risky. Notice that -40? Unless you can somehow negate it, there is a 1/5 chance of a failure of the same magnitude.

Some combinations might be relatively harmless, but none of them will be good for you if you fail so badly. And such a failure is quite likely.

So,

>DON'T randomly try things.
>Try as FEW as possible for now.

[lordnincompoop]

> Ask him if they are poisonous.

"No they're not." he pats you on the back (very painfully), and grabs a few off the river bed. You are no longer nauseous. While eating them, he says,

"They do give you some horrible bad breath, though." and laughs.

> Ask Cacame about tips on how to reduce the danger of practicing magic.

"Magic is alwars risky. It's the riskiest when you begin, as you don't have the necessary experience and you don't know how to control the powers, or how to get enough."

"The best you can do is practice your magic in a safe environment unless unnecessary, read as many books on the subject as you can, and practice using simple spells until you are more experienced."

> See what happens when you use the life rune with nothing else, if anything.

You attempt to cast a life glyph (86-40=46)(46>5) (Success! 6xp gained!) on yourself. the glyphs symbol glows white on your palm for a moment, and you feel a bit better, somehow.

> Cast a spell using only a life glyph on a tree.

You attempt to cast a life glyph (63-40=23)(23>5) (Success! 44xp gained! Levelup!) on a tree. It blooms into life and fades back into stone as usual.

drinky!

and then thank Cacame, and ask for directions to the tower.

[Nivim]

 He's in the tower.

Yes. Well, in a sense he is. You could be off in Mars and still be in the Tower, as you haven't found the exit to get you out of it. The Tower isn't so much something physical as it is a part of the world, where you teleport to and fro various locations - even realities - which are set up as on-the-fly Tower "rooms". Each "room" has a certain goal you have to accomplish to gain access to the next ´"room". Keep in mind that these goals may not be fully obvious, and you may be teleported to a village being savaged by a dragon, with everyone asking you to kill the dragon and even you yourself being sure that's the goal, when in reality you have to grab a certain cup off a certain shopkeeper's shelf to gain access.

Also, why would you want to toss that into the river?

Dammit Armok! 

[Faden]

I still wanna see what void does. Stand at a fairly safe distance from a tree and cast Void + Projectile on it.
