Arcanum Octet II: Victory [Turn 14]
Damn. I had the whole turn written out, then my computer crashed. I don't have time to re-write everything, so no flavor text for you.
Rune of warding around kilakan.
(5)(Luck 2)
You carve the rune. It doesn't work.
+2 to Runecrafting.back out of fight, use shirt+knife to make some bandages and stop the bleeding!
(6)(Luck 3)
You rip your shirt to shreds. Your bleeding slows.
I do not believe that healing potions should be able to kill, unless they were made with a bad roll. In Arcanum Octet 1, I believe you said that potions auto-succeeded. What's the point in making potions, which require ingredients, if they require at least three turns to use? (Gathering, brewing, and drinking)
I use my knowledge of the Animate Dead spell to try to gain control of the skeleton.
(5)(Luck 1)
You turn the skeleton to ash instead.
New Spell: Destroy Undead
+3 to NecromancyWhy was there a roll to drink the potion at all? That doesn't make any sense. Rolls should be for things that you actually have to try at.
Does my golem get experience in fighting?
Order golem to supplement itself with the dead KEEL STUFF
Heal me
(6+2)(Luck 6)
You heal fast. Really fast. So fast you have another scar.
+3 to HealingHmm, summoning a skeleton raises some interesting questions. For example: is it really undead if it wasn't created from the dead?
anyway, If Nirur fails to control the skeleton I carve a rune of weakness into it's skull, if he succeeds I cast Animate Dead on dermonster.
Also, shouldn't my wright have gotten an attack as well?
Slaves must be given orders, or they won't do anything.
(4)(Luck 4)
You make a zombie.
+3 to NecromancyStone one of the hellhounds or if they are down, the skeleton.
Man, I might go and summon me a minion too.
(5)(Luck 7)
You hurl a giant boulder. It kills two of them, and almost wipes out Cheddarius' golem but it jumps out of the way.
+4 to ElementalismKILL! MAIM! BURN! specifically the skeleton. With my sword.
(3)(Luck 3)
You can't drop your spear to wield your sword. Your spear is probably cursed.
Okay!
I'm going to go with walking out of the front door of whatever building I'm assuming I'm in and attacking the nearest hellhound to me, by means of a fist shaped stone projectile.
You don't exist yet.
Order... Kill Target...
(5)(RTD 3) The golem kills the other hound.
