Hey did we check if the crysteel we gave him was still in the blacksmith's workshop?

[Aklyon]

of course we did.

There was shattered crystal all over the area the mayor was pointing.

Edit: typo.

[Tack]

Well, I suppose you could walk up to the volcano and see if you could start freezing the lava.
Obsidian is always fun to work with.

But yeah, no magic.
Sit in your room and see if you can salvage the parts from Chiller, Bob and Stabs to make a new robot.

Preferably awesome and humanoid and covered in spikes.

[Aklyon]

After dashing back in to one of the edge houses and grabbing a frozen solid chicken (thank god for cold-resistant cloaks! Tis ridiculous, the temp. in there.), you set it to thaw, then sort through the remains of your former buddies. and Builder.
3 shattered magic power orbs, which you throw into the town, they're useless now.
some shattered Crysteel.
some metal from builder.

*Sigh*

No reagents, and no magic to make cryoagents with. You go back to staring at the fire.

I'm probably going to skip ahead a bit if no interesting unmagical actions are given, since theres no point in dragging out this part. its probably a bit boring without magic, isn't it?

[Tack]

Fuck it. Pull down the blacksmith's for spare metal, and bring it all back to your room. You've still got a sharp sword.

Might as well get the mayor out of there, if his corpse hasn't had his backside ice-welded to the ground.

[dragnar]

Then skip to us having some magic back.

[FuzzyZergling]

Check out this person ranting about their car.

> Magic Back. Yay! Now back to your previous program.

Quite Very Really Much Greater Than Usual Cold Resistance.
Where in the name of Blizz is that mouthful of an enchantment? You know its in this book, and you need it to get in there and tear apart the Blacksmith's. He was obviously a magic-user, and that meant he had alchemy reagents (probably). Possibly very powerful ones. At the very least you could steal his equipment and use it for something.

Screw it, you've sat in this little room far long enough. enough castings of cold resistance will eventually get to the same level of cold-proofing.
...

Note to self: Whatever this spell was, it makes the area TOO DAMN COLD! Even with the magic equivalent of 50 layers of clothes on your Cryomantic self is still feeling cold! F!

You hold your crysteel sword with both hands, having left the staff at home because its effect wouldn't help at all. Somewhat tired after casting cold resistance a lot, you shatter what was formerly the toughest wall in town, which was as brittle as the ice encasing it now. stupid-cold air blasts out, like in all the houses you looted for foods, and you step in. you see a lump sticking out of the ground, probably the mayor. you cold blast the snow off of him, and aren't surprised when he looks no different than before. You'll pick him up (if possible) on your way out, at least one person should have a proper burial from this town. You kick the back wall, but it doesn't shatter. You slice it, its barely scratched. you cold blast it, nothing happens.
Goddamnit, Blacksmith! what the hell did you need a mage wall for?!
wait.
mage wall. not reinforced wall. a plain metal sword might work, it lacks magic. better yet, a hunk of metal. you cold blast the entire room, uncovering everything. picking up a hunk of metal of the floor after slicing it from the floorboards, you heave it at the wall, and it breaks.

Alchemist's Pot. pyroagents, cryoagents, reactives. stabilizers. Advanced Metamancy equipment.
Jack-friking-pot! WOO!
wait. a glowing leather bag? whats this doing here? you stick your hand in it and...
a Bag of Holding. How had you not felt The Blacksmith's Power when you shook hands? he was obviously a powerful, high-ranking mage.

You put everything possible into the Bag. then you tie it to you belt, and haul the Metamancy equipment as hard as you can, but it refuses to budge.
No! you are NOT leaving this here! you cold blast the floor around it until you find the lock. its not there, but the metal is now really shiny from that sandblasting effect you just caused. just a blue lock shape on one of the corners. Well, permalock or not, you are getting this stuff. so, you pull your sword out and slice of that leg of the table off. you grab it before it touches the ground, and the blue glow fades from the equipment. you again haul on the stuff, this time it moves. you put the mayor (and his piece of flooring) on top of it and dash for the gates (and your room) as fast as a unfit mage can haul.

[FuzzyZergling]

Can we get a description of this metamancy equipment?
Also, if there's a volcano on our non-existant, ice-filled doorstep, how long before hot earth-bits rain down on us?

[Tack]

Refine what metal and junk there is around into the purest metal you can get- while still having enough to use.

Study that piece of mage-wall you obviously took from the Blacksmith's.

Use refined metal to create a new bot- preferably with cold-enchanted knife-fingers. Because that's awesome.

Chuck some books under the leg of the table so it doesn't fall off.

And then try and research some kind of "Amazingly far greater than greater cold resistance" spell.

Alchemise giant rolling ice-throne of MAGIC with pyroagent.

[Aklyon]

Its pretty much anything you need to practice Metamancy, up to about High Master Metamancer (if we had started with that field, We would've only had basic equipment for it, which sucks) just need something to practice on and a TON of magic. (right now, Wizard could do probably no more than 2 metamancy spells without passing out. It'll be a while before it can be used with any kind of regularity.)

The volcano is on the blacksmith's side, we're on the opposite, and theres a giant area of supercold town air between us. theres little chance we are going to be volcano'd. right now.

[maxicaxi]

Start work on a COLD DEATH BEAM SATELLITE

[dragnar]

Alchemize cryoagent + pyroagent.

[ragnarok97071]

Alchemize cryoagent + pyroagent.

This will either do nothing, create a different magic agent, or explode violently. I can't wait

But yeah, we should probably try to get metamancy up a bit, as being able to do stuff like turning fireballs into twinkies is always fun (assuming that this is the normal metamagic which messes with spells and stuff, though it seems to have been basically a dumping ground for stuff that doesn't fit in the other categories...

[Aklyon]

Metamancy is either everything that doesn't fit, or near-omnipotence and physics-breaking. Depends on how far up the Ranks you get. right now its pretty much just what you said, changing stuff into other stuff.

You drop a pyroagent and a cryoagent into a kitchen pot you grabbed, and the pot explodes. Then your refine most of the metal you have, and make Claw! the Robot. then you enchant the claw (well, the several daggers sticking out in a claw-like way) with Chill Touch.

You look at the Metamancy Tome that was part of the equipment, and go outside. you fling a snowball into the air, and try out what you just read. It turns into a flower. you try it again to see if you can get a donut out of it, and it turns into an ant. you smush the ant and go back in to eat and sleep and practice more tomorrow.

9 cryo/pyroagents, 30 Crysteel, and 0 Metal left. A new robot named Claw!
Also about a halfway up towards next rank of Metamancy.
