I go on top of a wall or tower, and watch the advancing enemies, trying to identify commanders to target once they get closer.
I think about what Shadowtouch does.

I thank the wind elemental for helping me in my time of need. I head up to the battlements, whilst trying to levitate small rocks around my form with wind magic.

Kinseen, I've got a rune of Ice, which is kinda a elemental spell in rune form. Wanna try swapping rune spells or forming a new rune?

If Kin agrees, practice rune-stuff with him, teaching him Ice and Warding runes.
If Kin doesn't, practice with daggers.


RNG, you missed my +2 runecrafting in stats.

What is Myou's Grace? Where can I get it and water?
It's a purple flower that grows in spikes and has a calming scent. When crushed into a balm, it soothes itching/burning and helps heal wounds. Commonly grows around the area, so you should be able to find it in a garden, or maybe just growing on the path somewhere.

Water... erm... Ask the quartermaster?

I think about what Shadowtouch does.
It's an offensive spell that wounds targets you touch. Think of sort of a 'Decaying Touch' ability. Not much more to it than that.

Woops. That's why I don't like taking so many players, it's easy to lose track of stuff. Anyway, I'll fix it.

I think a -1 for a 3 and a 2 (a Standard Failure) is pretty harsh. I mean, I only have about a 1/3 chance of getting myself fixed up next turn, and I could be dead in two or three turns if the rolls don't smile upon me.

Guys, could someone help heal my arm?

Normally, I'd be delighted to heal your arm. However, I feel that trying to learn Cause Light Wounds on you would quite probably be disadvantageous to your health.

Quote from: Rules
3 and below may inflict injuries

It's not that bad really. You have a +2 on healing, for a total of +1, so unless you roll a 2 or below again, you should be fine.

Why? You turned cure serious wounds into inflict serious wounds. How different is this? In fact, you should amass huge penalties to your necromancy so it become healing magic again. ;D

I'll read my summoning book, trying to find/summon a magical creature that is knowledgeable about runes.

I'll swap spells with anyone who had knowledge of the same schools as me and agrees. More spells for all!

Does swapping spells count as a free action? If so, I'd gladly give Dragnar my necromancy spells.

Nope. You have to spend a turn teaching/learning.

Aww... I was hoping it would be as simple as copying each other's notes from spellbooks. Oh well, I guess that can wait til the attack is over.

I glady accept Virrokens offer and teach him Rune of Power and Rune of Durability. I also search the book for useable runes against demons, such as a Rune of Combustion.

Barge through to the demons, and stand in a ready position, sword drawn. "En garde!"
