Note: I think the quantity rolls generate too much material too often. I'm thinking of dividing all quantities by 10, rounding up. This won't change the amount of influence you gain, of course, but it would severely lessen the amount of 'clutter' we'll have, and increase the amount of influence per item. Anyone opposed to this? Current inventories would be affected retroactively.World difficulty: 79A perfectly blue sky and an even bluer ocean merge at the horizon, though it is impossible to tell where one starts and the other ends. You can see a few species of fish near the surface, beyond that it is too dark to see anything.
Lets gather some water.
Attempt: 53
Quality: 19
Quantity: 25 - 19 = 6You take a bucket from the cargo hold and scoop up some water. You think you took about 6 liters. You put the water in your quantum inventory device, return the bucket and take the rest of the day off.
Gather some more materials.
Attempt: 59
Quality: 38
Quantity: 96 - 38 = 58Surfing around on the water, you notice some flotsam just floating around. Wait, scratch that. You notice a metric crapload of it. You take a whole bunch of rotten pieces of wood back with you to the ship.
Might as well try frying one fish to see if it's edible!
Attempt: 40 + 5You put a fish in one of your trusted cooking pots. A magical flame sprouts from your left hand and you hold it under the pot. After only a few seconds, a thick plume of black smoke emerges from the pot and you quickly stop warming. When you take the fish out of the pot, a few threads of molten steel stick to it. You manage to save most of the fish, but the pot is molten beyond repair. You didn't even know you had that kind of power.
ok. Fine. make it in to some superhard transparent nano-thingy. Maybe diamonds. Actualy it's probably diamonds, that's just a question of heat and pressure.
Attempt: 14You prepare a few hours for the difficult task that lies before you, meditating and practicing, so you can conjure all the strength you have. You will need it, diamonds require tons and tons of pressure. As soon as you feel confident that you can muster enough power, you take one of the wax cylinders in your hands and whisper the magical words that will make it compress. You don't need these words, of course, but they sound cool. The cylinder, under the increased pressure, rapidly starts to shrink. Soon, only a very tiny cylinder remains, but it is still not a diamond. Try as you might, you can not compress the cylinder into something else than a tiny version of itself. After a few hours, you get tired of the ordeal and clack your fingers. The cylinder pops back in its original shape.
Repeat once more.
Attempt: 51
Quality: 11
Quantity: 3 - 11 = 1You decide to do it a bit differently this time, and start heating a small patch of water. It takes some time, as the ocean dissipates a lot of heat, but after a while, steam starts to rise
from the surface. Clean, pure, distilled water. After a few hours, you force the cloud in a flask and condensate it. It is a disappointingly little bit of water.
