I will always, always try to break rules 

And I will always, always make sure you take the largest penalties possible for trying.

lol... I don't even try 

well, ok. just a note that my armor reflects the magic back (I agree that that is OP), perhaps they absorb part and reflect part of the damage? otherwise, that's fine.
 

They'll have a certain number of spells they can reflect. Like, say, your shield would have a max of 6 spells it can reflect before losing it's enchantment.

Cool, that sounds great!

Anyway, turn's done, updating statuses.

[Draignean]

Anyway, turn's done, updating statuses.

Ninjas assemble!

As an aside, how many clicks does it take to post through an army of ninja forumites?

[Darvi]

None. You can use the keyboard.

[TolyK]

None. You can use the keyboard.

just like awesome dudes, darvi and me

[SeriousConcentrate]

Wouldn't you know, Draignean? :3

[Draignean]

None. You can use the keyboard.

I don't know, my keyboard clicks, and it doesn't specify keyboard or mouse clicks.

I suppose if your keyboard isn't clicky or you're using a touchscreen it's kind of a strange question...

Wouldn't you know, Draignean? :3

The answer is many.

And the ninjas just keep piling out of the ninja clown car.

It's really funny, but you'll never see it.

[SeriousConcentrate]

D: That's cause like no one's chatty at all in the CvRTD. ...If you want to ninja me I'm writing the turn there now. :3

[Tarran]

You guys are just trying to get me to kill you, aren't you?

Find civilian who heard of my great deeds with the wench, ask them to read the map for me and take me part way in exchange for two gold coins to be delivered at the completion of my quest. If no takers than try to find the way myself.

[5+1-2-1]: You find a person just sitting back, bored. He looks like an adventurer, so he'll likely take on danger. So you swagger over to him and try to convince him to lead you halfway. He stares at you and says: "Uh huh, give me five gold and I'll take you. To get where you're going, we have to go by some Izzci swamps, which have very few passages. It took me several days to find one, so I think my price is appropriate."

+3 Conversation skill.
Now Beginner in Conversation.

Grab the Scroll of Scare Undead and Potion of Minor impact

You grab the scroll and potion.

+1 Scroll of Scare Undead.
+1 Potion of Minor impact.

"..." Kirion said, or rather didn't say. He then cast that healing spell on Ravenium; he'd get back to Darin when he had a moment.

[4+1-1][Luck: 5]: You expertly cast a Major healing spell on Ravenium, once again healing more than you needed to. The result is a chain-healing that heals Darin too. Of course, he almost kills himself afterwards. Typical.

Darin: +1 HP.
Ravenium: +2 HP.

+2 Healing magic skill.

Darin sighs at his terrible attempts at batcrafting, and glances quickly at Kirion. He probably didn't mind too much, right?

Still, he needed something to be able to handle those soulstones. Of course, there was also...

Reanimate the last bat, spending 16 HP to do so.

Grab good iron spear and bad copper longsword, unless someone else wants them. Also grab anything anyone else doesn't bother to.

[3+1][Luck: 4]: You reanimate the dead bat with 16 HP, nearly killing yourself in the process.

You also grab the Iron spear and Copper longsword.

-16 HP.
+1 Necromancy magic skill.
+1 Good Iron Spear.
+1 Bad Copper Longsword.

Cast a personal minor chaos shield, modify it so it requires less maintanence

[Autofail]: Even if you could, it'd have no effect, as you'd still have to constantly maintain the shield even if you are only spending a small amount of energy on a shield per turn if it's maintained. You may be thinking of the new Placed shields (see below).

+1 Chaos.

Hide and throw rocks near the entrance until somebody comes out. Polymorph their throat shut.

[2]: You fail to hide.
[2]: You fail to find any rocks small enough to throw in your immediate vicinity for some reason. Freaking Ninja Rocks.

The steps stop and your hear some bark-like talking. [Luck: 2]: The voices get closer quickly! Really should hide about now!

+1 Chaos.

Make an light, yet solid, inverted bowl out of rock.

Remember to cancel your last action! :|

You grab the potion of liquidation and try to create an inverted bowl. [5+2+1][Luck: 1]: You make a bowl out of rock. It's very small and very fragile, and likely useless. It's really smooth, at least.

+1 Potion of Liquidation.
+3 Earth magic skill.
New spell: Trivial Earth Shaping: Easy (no modifiers to casting). Allows you to shape a small amount of earth.

Use my wind magic to turn that thing into a hovercraft.

[3][Luck: 6]: You float the bowl. It is nearly uncontrollable, plus the bowl is far too small and fragile to use.

Also, you'd have a very hard time trying to control the bowl while sitting on it.

Spoiler: BALANCING YAY (click to show/hide)

I just realized: The current way shields work makes no sense. Why would you have to maintain a shield if enchanted items with shields do not need to be maintained?

I'm now going to balance it, it'll work this way:

Shields can be either Maintained or Placed. Player specifying. Which have the following differences:
Maintained shields have HP regen if they have specified HP. If they don't, the user just outright maintains the shield. Maintained shields of course require the user's direct attention.
Placed shields don't regen. They fall after taking so-and-so damage/succeeding oh so many times. Placed shields don't require a user's direct attention, but to prevent the user from placing shields extremely often, you cannot place shields until after 5 turns after the last one was placed.
Enchanted items use placed shields, which can be recharged. This, of course, means TolyK's enchanted armor is less useful now, but it was overpowered anyway. I mean, how can you argue against?

And as a further change, all magic enchanted items now have charges, and there can only be one temporary magic enchantment per item at a time. Since, seriously, I just know you guys are going to super-enchant everything you get your hands on. Don't even try to deny it.

However, to make magic-generated items more worthwhile, items generated magical have no charge for their magic enchantments. So that +5 Longsword of Awesomeness is as useful as it starts generated as for the entire game. And sometimes you may find scrolls that permanently add a magic enchantment to items that don't already have a permanent enchantment. Permanently enchanted items can also have a temporary enchantment applied to them.

Also, I am now limiting enchantments to one per total-item. Meaning if you put together pieces of a sword which each have an enchantment, you will have to specify which one to keep. This is because not only would it have been annoying to keep track of individually enchanted pieces, but because it would've been too powerful.

Alright, I do believe I've got everything. Tell me if I missed something.

Also, Irony just can't help but hurt himself, can he?

[TolyK]

(whoops, I'll try to remember to cross it out next time)

well, that's, uh...

Darvi, lets try it again shall we? or actually no...
Make another one a cart-like thing that is fairly sturdy, out of earth.

[Draignean]

Agree to the increased price, make sure the man knows that he gets nothing if I can't make it back out alive after I get in. Travel!

[SeriousConcentrate]

O.o was Kirion's expression as he observed Darin practically dying to reanimate the dead bat. "For Isaia's sake..." he muttered. "Here, I'll patch you up as best as I can, but all of us gotta be moving on, OK? I can practically feel the chaos irradiating the area."

Cast Major Healing on Darin and GTFO of the area.

[IronyOwl]

Excellent. Now why doesn't my bat have a status thingy? :3

Attempt to heal self. Lead group to far right passage.

"Oh, I agree. But look, now I have a brand new pet bat! He'll be useful when we find that dragon."

Of course, if you find something wrong with what I'm doing, you could always start your own RTD...

...which I'm still waiting on.

It's kind of in development hell at the moment, which probably means I need to just shrug, throw up what I've got, and fix it as it happens.

So, yeah. Guess I'll do that.

Also, Irony just can't help but hurt himself, can he?

Hey, this time it was intentional.

You guys are just trying to get me to kill you, aren't you?

Anyone else get the mental image of Tarran trying to look after a bunch of hyperactive children?

Tarran: Alright, so you all find a sword, and...
IronyOwl: Tarrantarrantarran can I make a magic sword with multiple enchantments?
Tarran: Uh... I guess? Actually that sounds a little...
TolyK: Tarran can I make a shield out of my shield with another shield?
Tarran: Uh... I suppose you can-
Darvi: Tarran how come I don't have any bolts?
Tarran: Because you didn't-
IronyOwl: Tarran I want some golems can I have some golems?
Tarran: Yes! You just have to-
IronyOwl: But I want special golems so can I make each part separately?
