sir diesalot is still on the waiting list.

Fixed. Thanks for that.

I try to get some holy water from Aarchan and pour it around the book.(not on it. I don't want to destroy the thing.) If he won't give me any I'll read the book anyway before promptly being slain by curiosity.

What book?

I meant the papers on the desk. I got a bit mixed up there.

Didn't I ask for another go back on page 22 and 23? Or can I not have another go?
Edit: No i didn't mean resurrecting my char. Making a new one.

Huh. I thought I put you in there. Must have gotten it mixed up somehow...

Anyway, you're there now.

Can someone procure some alchemy ingredients for me? For healing salves? Namely, the people I saved from certain death (pretty much everyone)?

Sure, as soon as I'm done reading these papers... I might need a remove curse at that point though.

I'll change my action, but I can't help with herbs without a good roll.

I summon containers of distilled water.

Continue practicing dual wielding, focusing on defending with two weapons in hand.

Give dragnar a vial of holy water, then collect bones from the pile of corpses, a skull, and a few other bones.

Figure out a spell allowing me to look, hear and ultimately talk through the Stone Spirit, making it a great party trick but also for scouting purposes. The Stone Spirit will help me with all its knowledge to make this succeed.


If this work, I'm going to build up the spell step by step until I my self end up as an earthen elemental.

I'll meditate on my knowledge of Necromancy and try to figure out a more effective spell for damaging demons.

I summon containers of distilled water.

You try to summon some water for use in potion-making, (4+2) summoning a large quantity (Luck 5) that is just about pure H2O. Drinking a lot this stuff is not recommended.

+3 to Summoning
I try to get some holy water from Aarchan and pour it around the papers.(not on them. I don't want to destroy the stuff.) If he won't give me any I'll read the papers anyway before promptly being slain by curiosity.

Aarchan offers you some water, wich you take back to the study. (6) Before you pour it around the papers, you catch a glimpse of one. In fact, they seem rather mundane; tax reports, construction projects, diplomatic drafts... you decide not to waste the holy water on them.  On the bottom of the papers, there is one missive that seems to be concerning some book however. Reading it further, it seems to reference a tome of unholy power, and some sort of ritual. (Luck 6) On a whim you look in the bottom desk drawer, and see the source of the evil aura; it is a book, about 6 inches thick, that appears to have a binding of some sort of odd leather... no, not leather... human skin! There is also an odd sigil painted on the front in what appears to be blood.

I'm going to Wake up and thank Aarchan for breaking me out of there, then test if I can remember how to use runecrafting by carving something useful into my axe.

You give your sincerest thanks to the man who shattered the mirror, explaining to him that you had been trapped in there for months, slowly being absorbed into the mirror after you lost to your clone. You then grab your axe and look at it, then try to carve a rune onto it. (2+1) You try to carve a rune you have a faint recollection of, (Luck 2) but only scratch the surface of your axe.

(You remember the rune anyway though, because I just realized I forgot to give you one).

Continue practicing dual wielding, focusing on defending with two weapons in hand.
You run around the room waving your two blades around, looking quite silly. (4) you do seem to learn more about how to incorporate the balance and weight of these weapons into your attack, (Luck 5) and further develop your skill when dual-wielding weapons.

Give dragnar a vial of holy water, then collect bones from the pile of corpses, a skull, and a few other bones.

You scour the skeletons looking for bones, (3) and collect a fair amount. (Luck 4) One of the skeletons is also wearing a piece of ordinary jewelery, which you decide to pocket. 

Cure Moderate Wounds on my golem.
Order my golem to, after being healed, attempt to find some Myou's Grace.
You go to work on healing your golem, (2) but your spells don't seem to have any effect on it. (Luck 5) You have some idea of the huma- err, golem anatomy however, and end up fixing him manually.

+3 to Automaton Repair


Practice elementalism Make pretty frost patterns in the air to impress my teammates.

You tinker with your frost spell, looking to make pretty shapes. (4+2) The ice crystals fly everywhere, (Luck 4) which you realize could be weaponized before you try and duck. (RTD 6)(RTD 1)(RTD 1)(RTD 4)(RTD 6) Almost everybody dives as the ice scatters, but Kin and Marcus remain oblivious and get pierced by the ice.

+2 to Elementalism
New Spell: Frozen Burst


Figure out a spell allowing me to look, hear and ultimately talk through the Stone Spirit, making it a great party trick but also for scouting purposes. The Stone Spirit will help me with all its knowledge to make this succeed.
You focus on strengthening the bond with your spirit, (1) but can't find any way to see or hear using it's senses. In fact, you can't figure out how it senses things at all. (Luck 5) You end up glancing at it quizzically before deciding you need more skill with earth magic before attempting something like that.


Cheddarius' golem attempts to locate some Myou's Grace. (5) The golem seems to turn it's cogs for a minute as it thinks (Luck 1) before responding "Current Biome: Broken Lands. Myou's Grace Native Biome: Grassland. Probability of Myou's Grace growing in current biome: Impossible. Mission to gather Myou's Grace rejected."

First, I announce that anyone who wants to use the water for potions is welcome to it.
Next, I'll meditate on my knowledge of Necromancy and try to figure out a more effective spell for damaging demons.

Now for another very bad idea: I order my minions to pick up the book while I copy the odd sigil onto my zombie's forehead. If nothing happens I start reading the evil book of evil.
