Still Scavenging [Turn 8]
Hurray, another turn.
I cry over this strange feeling of loss, and try very hard to think of who I am. I must have been somebody important, since I have this strange rectangle filled with odd, think rectangles.
After failing to remember anything (3), you fall down on the ground and weep in despair. (Luck 5) In your depression you have a sudden recollection.
I'll try to get some of the scrolls from the temple as payment for helping in the defense.
You walk up to a priest and inquire about the scrolls. (6) She explains that they were created by Archbishop Maremed when fighting the crusade against the necromaners of Sigun. (Luck 1) She adamantly refuses to even let you touch them, however.
Hah! It worked!
Ponder what a Rune of Ice would do to my hammer and engrave a Rune of Power onto my left arm.
With your right arm still aching, you being carving the same run into your left arm. (5+2-2) You control yourself somewhat better
this time, and it doesn't hurt as much. (Luck 2) The rune doesn't seem to function quite right, however.
+3 to Runecrafting. Seek out nearest commander and see if I can provide any assistance.
Juggle pebbles with magic.
You find a militia commander surveying the damage, and ask about helping him. (4) He looks you over and sighs.
"Not unless you're some form of miracle worker. We won this fight, but at what cost? The city is in ruins, half our army is dead... I guess you can help the workers repair the walls, but unless something changes quickly the next demon attack will be the end of Almar's Keep."
Equip shield. Carve rune of ice on spear.
You don the shield. You then begin trying to carve a rune on the spear. (1) You snap the spear in half and send shrapnel flying everywhere. (Luck 6) By some miracle none of it hits you.
I add some demons to my flesh golem
You head out and begin poking at the demon corpses. You try to add some of the claws and horns to the golem. (1) The additional parts don't take properly. (Luck 3) The demon blood reacts with the human blood, and begins rotting the golem.
Find my way back to the city, searching for high-quality Daemon weapons on the way.
You head back to the city, looking for weapons. (6) You find two spears and three daggers. (Luck 3) None seem to be of exceptional quality, however.
Test out demon blood, by adding one drop blood, to pinch of ash, and small amount of vinegar. repeat, but substitute vinegar for holy water(REALLY SMALL DROP HERE, don't wanna blow myself up... again)
Deciding to experiment, you grab your kit and begin mixing stuff together. (6) You add a drop of the ichor, a little ash and the vinegar together. (5) The mixture becomes extremely hot, but doesn't shatter the glass. Could be useful. You insulate the mixture and don't have time to try the other mix.
