[Sheb]

This dragon is newborn, we can't leave it alone to get food!

Now here is an usage of time magic as more than a toy: In the future we'll have plenty of time for that and a dragon to help us, borrow some meat from in a few weeks!

Do this. Then use time magic on the dragon to haste its grow.

[Lillipad]

We're only rank 2 in time magic, how would we go into the future long enough to steal from an alternate us that didn't do that?

[RAM]

But they did do it, and they knew to go into town and buy a nice picnic basket, fill it with goodies, and leave it next to the time portal.

[Lillipad]

You're creating a paradox RAM.

[blackmagechill]

You realize you need meat for the little bugger's food. You decide to go to the store tomorrow, and teleport enough meat for a day from what you'll buy tomorrow (three days worth).

Event forced: Buying meat at the market.

Forced events are activated when you do something with the time continuum and you acquire something. You have to do it or else suffer the Consequences.

[Sheb]

Dang. No I want us not to do it just for the Consequences.

[Lillipad]

What could we, the abstractly democratic-like brain of ice, time, and necromancy, possibly think of that would be more interesting than visiting the butcher, then immediately having the meat we buy stolen by ourselves from the past?

Feed the dragon, then begin training it in hunting for food, so we don't have to cause a possible paradox in time every single time we run out of food for it.

[Sheb]

In the future, we could just steal meat from farther in the future, thus creating a recursive time paradox.

[Armok]

Sheb, read up on Infinity Hotel. And the cigar (I think it was cigars?) case.

[RAM]

But if you keep stealing it from the future then the meat itself will have been catapulted across an arbitrarily large distance. It is likely to maintain some of that tension...

[blackmagechill]

You feed the dragon and enter town. You realize what the sound was. A huge stone tower was transported into the town by a time magician (they can mess with space too). By the way the ice has formed on the top, it's a cryomancer. You walk to the butcher shop, buy four days worth of meat (one disappearing instantly) and pay 20 gold. you could've probably haggle'd him down a bit more...

[Lillipad]

Train the dragon how to hunt, and strike.

[RAM]

Train the dragon how to increase its speed relative to the rest of the world, hunting will not be an iss
Train it to hunt, it should have some basic skills to fall back on before magic makes it lazy...

[blackmagechill]

Tired of blowing through your money (80 gold left, you guys should find a job or raid some area that you found searching..) on meat, you take your training guide and the dragon out to hunt. The training goes very well, and he manages to eat his fair share of birds for the day, enough to feed him.

[Lillipad]

What areas can we raid without dying at the moment?
