You keep using the word "curse".
I do not think that that word means what you think it means.
I agree with breadbocks, unless it actively depowers any spells we do beforehand.

It's definitely a curse. Lich could either make us a rotting corpse, or reincarnate us. He took the reincarnation route. To make something that's being reincarnated a naturally undead being you have to curse its mind, body, and soul. Now isn't Percival's situation so completely simple?

The cave wouldn't take away the enchantment, it would just start draining the enchantment away. I'd have to roll for if it loses the enchantment, but generally I only allow failed rolls to go through when I can think of amusing things to go with them, so you guys probably won't have much of a problem with that. Probably.

I got a 3, a 7, and a 20 for the enchantment roll. I can't believe how lucky you punks are.

I leave the cave so I can get my mana flowing. I coat the blade of the hatchet in lightning, then rush into the cave to some combate music and begin attacking the nearest monster with the hatchet.
[20]
The enchantment fries the thing, and nearly gets stuck. I have to kick the beast off of my hatchet from the severe burns caused by the enchantment. I kill as much with the hatchet as I can. It eventually breaks, but I luckily have more weapons. I continue fighting with the beasts until all my weapons and arrows are gone.
Trine notices my lack of weapons, so he tosses me one of his spare swords. We exterminate a few more monsters near the entrance before going further into the cave. Trine and I reach the shrine with ease. My curse mark, or whatever it is seems to have become more elaborate, and a bit larger. Trine also remarks that my natural undead properties are starting to show in the cave, even though the seal was blocking a lot of the power going to the curse.
There's a sword at the altar, Trine says that it's mine if I want it. I hand him back his spare sword and replace it with the one at the altar. It's heavy, but looks neat. There was a strange necklace hanging on the sword, but it's missing whatever went with it.

After getting back from the caves we go to see the dean, and he says the damages have been repaired, and payed for. He offers to let me stay at the academy to train as a knight. Pops always said he wanted me to be a gallant knight one day, he never said which team I had to be fighting for.

Me: "Why not, I've got nothing better to do."
Dean: "Hahah, you've got some nerves kid! You're free to do as you please, so have a look around!"

I take the dean up on his offer, and find a bulletin board in the main lobby of the school. Trine translates for me, and says I can take up jobs on that board to get some money, or extra credit on the schoolwork that doesn't involve blasting things with doom, or slicing them in half with axes. He says this board keeps the town peaceful, and happy.
Trine and I accept a few of the jobs, then I'm taken to some of the classes. I wouldn't call them boring, more like useless. I learn most of this stuff in minutes, do I really have to sit through 8 hours of this monotony? Once the practical classes begin, I really start to get into it, but one of the teachers asks to see me after class.

I'll automate Percival's actions with the teacher, so just post ideas for him to do in town while he has free time. What do you want Ephraim to do in town before going to the Warrior's Guild?

The amulet is missing from the necklace, it's just a nice looking chain right now.

Now THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! Also, nice music. And you simply had railroad us into swords, instead of axes, didn't you. We could've gotten a nice axe, but noooooo- Also, why didn't a nat. 20 roll with lightning level us up in it?

The sword and axe proficiencies both got an 11 boost. They'd both be at 12 if I had given you 1 level in each proficiency. The reason I put a sword there was foreshadowing to events I have planned for later. Slaying Emperor Steve later.
The natural 20 made our curse stronger, so now we can sustain enchantments in sealed areas with little to no difficulty.

It seems to me like summoning a ball of lightning, and slathering it across the surface of a sword would take a lot of effort, and since we got it right, we would've gotten a lot of exp. for it.

Lillipad · « **Reply #53 on:** October 30, 2010, 10:01:39 pm »

Fine, fine. I added a level to lightning. We can already dual wield, so don't worry about that. I'll make a better axe a reward from a job.

The Minecraft update is distracting me, so I might not be double posting/getting every other post.

If you're wondering why Percival is becoming increasingly intelligent and aggressive, it's mostly out of boredom. You don't have to do the jobs as Percival, so just post what you want to do if you're against doing the jobs.
Ephraim doesn't have this option, so you have to choose which action you want to do. Both consume the entire day.

I love how E's inventory wasn't updated.

Altar = An altar is any structure upon which offerings such as sacrifices and votive offerings are made for religious purposes, or some other sacred place where ceremonies take place. Altars are usually found at shrines, and they can be located in temples, churches and other places of worship.
Alter = To make different without changing into something else.

I've got 2 votes for goblin slaying, and a combined total of 0 votes for escorting PERSON to the altar. If it helps make the decision, the job has no relevance to the plot, so you won't be forced into the next stage by taking it.
