Aww... was worth a shot anyway.

"Colin, do you know of any combat tournaments in the area? You're gonna need some more cash, and that bone spike should let you win pretty easy."

[Tarran]

I bet that Colin is virtual. Not real.

-- Error: chadlass not within scope. The universe chadlass resides within has no magic.

[Cheddarius]

Okay guys, I'd like to reinstate the syntax. It goes like this. If you want to talk to Colin, talk normally. If you want to talk amongst ourselves, talk in italics, like this. And finally, if you want to talk to the game, for example to use magic or info or talk to a mod, use bold.

Tarran, Chadlass is our enemies, not Colin. Colin lives in the Tradus system.
Colin, it's not over yet. You drove off those people, but they'll come back soon, and maybe even more people will come back. I'm afraid you could be in this for a while.
Do you know somewhere where you could get weapons, or allies? Do you want to check on your wife, maybe? Or get some food that will keep for a while?

Spoiler: Information (click to show/hide)

We are players controlling Colin, a PC. A PC is someone with great potential. We are controlling a "loose thread", that is to say a Tradian in the Tradus system. He's not a loose thread anymore, I guess. Our enemies, the aPCs, seek to destroy the Tradus system. The BBEGs are unto gods, exist outside server factions, and are enemies of us both.

"info X" will tell you about X.
When you say an instruction, Willfor will quote you, but not by your username - by something like !Dff401s3@chadlass.sloth. Use "info sloth", or whatever is in that last part, to find out more about your magic power, and how you can use it.


!j4rr4xu7@chadlass.smoke.dance has dodging powers: magic sidestep fiesta [percentage]. Percentage = increase in speed?
!hFF77al@chadlass.spear.light can laser people. Oh god.

I have a feeling that you misunderstood me. The reason magic doesn't work on Chadlass is because he doesn't have magic in his universe, likely meaning that Colin is in a alternate "universe". And since we do stuff with computer like commands, Colin likely lives inside a supercomputer.

[dragnar]

Perhaps, but does it really matter? If he's a simulation he's on a level that's indistinguishable from reality, so questioning his "reality" becomes pointless.

It may matter in the future. Knowledge is power. It may not ever be useful, but it will likely prevent confusion.

[Karnewarrior]

Right, Colin, you are now an adventurer. We need to find some little baddies to train on, so see if you can get a job from the mayor killing something threatening the city, or something...

Whatever. We just need cash, and we can really only help you fight. So fighting it is. You should check up on your wife first though, that's the first thing they will go for after you.

Prince Arseph's birthday is today, and the usual tournament is being hosted by the Chancellor. I could catch the tail end of it?

A job from the Chancellor? That might be a little hard... I don't know him personally.

Ah! I'm not used to this kind of thing. I need to get her to go to her parents house... It'll take me two minutes to get home. I'm going to do that right away.

[Cheddarius]

All right. Do that, let us know if anything weird happens.
What is the best way to get money or weapons with your current powers?

> rephrase: giving out my invoke-permissions to [sol.blend, sol.earth] freely

Why, exactly?

And sorry for being a little behind the times, but what exactly will that do? Allow someone to use some amount of your magic in their actions?

[Cheddarius]

I think it means that you can use my powers, but only partially successfully. Not to the extent that I can.
If I'm offline, I want you guys to be able to use my powers anyway.

It went fine. She's on her way back to her parents house, safe and sound. She's worried about me.

The best way to get money I know of is to sell mire dragon teeth. A set of mire dragons teeth can buy you peerage.


-- Command: [sol.blend], [sol.earth]
Given one use of your magic until their shares are spent.

[dragnar]

Sounds good to me. How big/dangerous are mire dragons exactly?

[Tarran]

Can mire dragons be tamed?

[Willfor]

Sounds good to me. How big/dangerous are mire dragons exactly?

Mire dragons get sucked into airship engines through a place our "scientists" (I'm learning already!) call purple space. There are nasty, and they're not enough people volunteering to kill them to keep all of our airships in the air all of the time. If you kill one as a team you have to split the teeth between everyone, and they're worthless unless you have a full set. A full set can be put into the void thrones, and lets captains command our airships using only their minds!

It's a murderous business, though. If the dragons don't kill you, your teammates will. The teeth imprint after a few minutes too, and most fights take longer than that. It makes the whole set worthless most of the time...

Can mire dragons be tamed?

Nope!
