tank we so desperately need.

Granted, Cheddarius' one wasn't perfect, but he made that one on accident out of wounded archers. Imagine what you could fashion on purpose out of your healthy friends!

That's because nobody's ever given them order to guard themselves.

and now the next turn almost entirely consists out of "Minions, guard me!"
also: edited the waitinglist entry:
(...)
Name: Harisha
Gender: Female
Major Skill: Smithing (if it is in the game)
Minor Skills: Elemental:Fire, Elemental:Earth
Spell: Draw Veins (Earth magic - draws metal from the surrounding stone)
Spell: Lava Lance(Earth/Fire)
Spell: Produce Flame(Fire Normal Flame that lasts several turns - used for smithing)

Background:  Harisha is from the island of Vahlia. She arrived in Port Shalot only to witness a demon attack. Since the demons dismembered the captain of the ship she was on - right in front of her eyes -  she decided it was time to show those pesky creeps the business side of her hammer. Equipped with her smithing tool and self crafted shield and light armor she stood next to the townguards for the last few battles and struck down demon after demon. Her skills in smithing aided in repairing the broken equipment of the guards, but as more and more guards requested her to repair their equipment she had to travel a significant distance away from the port to find more metal containing stone to use as resources...
Equipment:
Crude steel armor (worn)
crude Steel greaves (worn)
Copper smithing hammer (equipped)
Shield crafted from a huge iron pyrite.
Iron anvil with (rune of feather)*
other smithing tools

*or anything else that makes it lighter, your choice RNG.

I ask for a book on demonology, so that I may learn to either purify them, exorcise them, or just banish them. I'll then thank him for his help, agreeing to never bother him again, and leave the tower.

The old man looks you over. (Luck 4) "Hmm... Curious. Okay, fine. Here."

Ohh! Ohhh! Ohhhh! The dagger, I must have that dagger!

Ask for the dagger and a way to limit the power temporary so that I can wield it until I need to unleash all its energy. Politely.

Also, could it be that this is the rumored dagger of Arcanum Octet I?

You pose your question to the old mage, (Luck 6) who promptly bursts out laughing "Something to control it? HA! Haha! Oh, you are clueless aren't you? Hehehe... okay, okay, yeah, you can have it."

Moar ice knowledge, I guess.
You ask for a book of ice magic. (Luck 5) "Hmm... Typical scholar, are you? How boring. Here, you can have this old tome."


Awww.

Then I'll just ask for a Tome of Scholarly Magic (the kind I'm skilled at).
You ask for a tome of theoretical magic. (5) The wizard thinks for a moment before handing you an old tome. "Yeah, this has some interesting things in it. It's where I got the idea for- erm, nevermind. Anyway, take it."

I shall ask for a suit of armor that can slowly administer potions to the wearer, amplifying their effects and prolonging the usage, while also being armor.

If any of you can tame the dagger's power, I'll use the hadeshorn brew on it, it may be the only way we can defeat moloch.
You ask the old man if he has any MP-47/A Prototype Medic Power Armor (Luck 6) He stares at you, and when you explain what you want he seems genuinely baffled. "That... I've never even heard of such a thing. Are you addled? Ehh...  maybe... here. This apparatus can manipulate the essence of various compounds and spells. Maybe you can figure out something to do with it."

True to your word, the group leaves the heads back the the refugee camp. When they arrive they are welcomed into the camp and given a chance to rest and relax. Three of the refugees, having heard of the group, want to fight the demons as well and ask if they can join up with them. Unfortunately I have no idea who these people are(except Tarran) because I was an idiot and forgot to save Dwarmin and Derm's characters when they posted them(Z. Chris has quit).

Dunib Hellbinder, Brother To Derek Hellbinder

Bismuth-Bronze Two handed axe, Full bronze (Or copper) plate over every part of the body. Small tome of Fel knowledge.
Ask my new teammates to carve a rune of warding on my armor. Also practice with my Axe.

Yay, finally.

Attempt to bind some life magic healing to my shield, so it continually heals the wearer.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Fell = Demonology, so Nirur knows a little of that. I've been somewhat inconsistent with my naming conventions.

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

I vote we hang around here for this turn, then head out to face the tank-like boss.

I read my new book on a way to, in order of preference, purify, exorcise, or banish our foes.

No! I don't wanna take hints that they can't be purified! They deserve purity! ... Or a cleansing of their corrupted nature, to make them non-evil. It doesn't do much good to turn them pure evil, if they aren't already. I have no interest in a spell that turns anything pure evil, and will not be wasting my book searching for such a useless thing.

I read my book for a way to unleash a storm of small, but very sharp force bullets.

I'll be sure to remember not to help anyone if they get in trouble. :P

Anyway, RNG, you forgot to update the waiting list spoiler.
