Walk backward very fast.
MORE RUST. I want to see that thing in shambles.

Huh wonder what sort of properties demon rust would have in a potion.

It's not rust so much as an entropic spell targeting metal objects. Think of Degeneration for armor and weapons instead of people.

Hum so what would be leftover if he died from that spell, nothing? Or some type of residue?

Maybe a pile of completely rusted scrap?

[Dermonster]

INDESTRUCTIBLE rusted scrap.

[kilakan]

hum so I could make a undrinkable potion from it then?

[IronyOwl]

Undrinkable Potion of Invulnerability. I LOVE it!

Also anyone else intend to butcher the hell out of Moloch and try to use his parts for stuff? Crystals too, this place better not start collapsing on us when he dies.

[Tarran]

I'm going to back away from Moloch lest I get my metal stuff rusted by dermonster's spell overshooting again.

Fall back while trying to keep Moloch's attention on me.

If the spell completely corrodes his armor, you will have a naked Moloch. That may take a while though.

Unless Kin's magic goes wayyyyyy out of control, no, the cavern will not be collapsing. Yes, that does mean you can take some of his armor to make your own, but keep in mind that this stuff is heavy; expect the same RTD and accuracy penalties for using it as Moloch gets, or maybe even on a larger scale since Moloch is obviously a brute and ridiculously strong.

[Dermonster]

How would we reforge it? We would apparently need the fires of military grade lasers to start to peel it away! I don't think regular smithy fire could melt this thing.

Or we use magical fire.

[IronyOwl]

I meant more like, his bones.

But yeah, Moloch plate would probably be too heavy to justify the incredible protection it seems to offer, at least for me.

I've actually had this plan for a while, but I suppose it's relevant here:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Forging + Fire Magic + Metamagic = Magic Forge. I hope.

Anyway the point is I'll need someone to cure my third degree burns at some point.

[Dermonster]

Or since we can't even seem to scratch it at all, we could skip the plate and take a very thin layer, like about half an inch thick or so, never was good with measurements, to cover ourselves, effectively granting us invulnerability and slower but still respectable action speed.

[IronyOwl]

Half an inch of regular metal is heavy as hell with any real length and height to it. Half an inch of Moloch plate would probably be too heavy to use in combat, unless it was firmly anchored to you or fairly small.

[kilakan]

wonder how hard it would be to reshape him, anyways offering such a large kill as a sacrifice in a prayer, sound get me something nice on a good roll   Course it's up to rng, he could even have gold come pouring out of it's stomuch or something.

[Dermonster]

Okay how about a quarter of a centimeter?

I DON'T KNOW LENGTH.

[IronyOwl]

Depends, sacrificing a demon lord's corpse might be really good or really bad. If you struck the killing blow in Mandatum's name that'd probably go over real well, but you're bleeding an awful lot for that one right now.

I guess I'd need a tape measure for that, but a sixteenth of an inch would probably be nice and solid but pretty thin. That might work for armor (or shields, or elaborate mobile fortresses, or whatever), but it'd probably still be pretty damn heavy. I also wouldn't assume it's protection is independent of thickness; if nothing else, you could get bludgeoned to death right through it if it's too thin to absorb anything.

But whatever, it's obvious that someone needs to try to make something out of it. I just hope I have time to get Novice Fire Magic before I'm expected to do anything.

[kilakan]

Actually I'm fully healed, when I ate my slime a few dozen turns ago it greatly sped up my natural healing.

[Dermonster]

Someone could probably make one hell of a mace outta the stuff.
