[Toaster]

That went well for everyone!

Find a way to remove the curse.

[Sinpwn]

Eyes lighting up at the sight of the Quantum accelerator, James took everything and went to scavenge for some free scrap metal and gun parts.

(let's hope I can find enough junk to make a weapon before something horrible happens.)

[Toaster]

Watch out- that quantum accelerator may or may not be cursed.  You won't know until you try to use it.

[TherosPherae]

Nah - presumably, if he makes the equipment himself, it won't be cursed. And since it's just a raw part, nobody would bother putting a curse on it.

And really, I wasn't wanting to make this many cursed items - I was actually hoping someone would roll a 6 for the quality check so I could add an axe that lights things on fire or something else incredibly and stupidly overpowered. But no, the RNG decides to hate everything.

[Toaster]

* Toaster watches Theros miss the quantum physics joke...

[Sinpwn]

Does anyone have any ideas for what I should make? I was thinking of a handheld particle accelerator or railgun, but as the party's engineer, I'm open to suggestion.

[Spectr]

Look around for a job board, or some other source of money

I'm pretty taken by the idea of something that explodes minds. Just, you know, thinking aloud and stuff.

You find.... [6] a tavern, full of people willing to have you do set amounts of menial tasks for disproportionate rewards! Oh joy!
Shop Found: Tavern

Eyes lighting up at the sight of the Quantum accelerator, James took everything and went to scavenge for some free scrap metal and gun parts.

You run off into the dump, and [2] fail to find anything even mildly useful. Most of the stuff is either biodegradable food waste, mechanisms rusted beyond repair, or shit.

Find a way to remove the curse.

You [3] logically think that the best way to get rid of a curse is to visit the local church. The priest there offers to remove the curse, but at the cost of either becoming a convert, or being 'marked' by their deity. Which will it be?

Mentally tell myself to inspect everything BEFORE purchase, go and get some sparing done, focus on defence

You [3] go spar with a squirrel. Not much is accomplished.

Sigh, and start looking for a place to get un-cursed.

You [4] join Toaster and Grigor at the local church, and are given the same options as Toaster.

Sigh, and start looking for a place to get un-cursed.

Also do this, whilst mentally preparing myself to chop off the cursed ring finger.

You walk over to the church with Toaster and someone else from the party, when [1] the ring sucks all life out of your finger. Your finger falls off, and explodes in a rain of holy fire upon hitting the ground. You are now bleeding. -4 HP.

[Talarion]

Inquire as to what each option entails, regarding me. Aka wth do I have to do if I convert, or wth happens if I get marked?

[TherosPherae]

Inquire as to what each option entails, regarding me. Aka wth do I have to do if I convert, or wth happens if I get marked?

Being a convert varies for each character depending on how strong the curse is and the alignment of the deity. Given that this is your typical Church of the Lawful Good God, and that your curses are very minor, it probably means you'll have to refrain from using unholy stuff from this point on, and might gain a few holy abilities if you decide to move further into the faith.

Being marked is random dependent on the deity and how mad they get - it can vary from being smited a little bit to having your face melt off perioically to varoius other random effects. It depends on the marking roll you get.

[Talarion]

I may aswell... Convert to remove the curse.

[wolfchild]

Go find a small job that needs doing

[Sinpwn]

James yelled an obscenity to the sky. He looked at his wrench, to the quantum accelerator, and then back to the wrench... It would have to do.

James combined the quantum accelerator with one of his wrenches and spent some PP in hopes of creating an Omniwrench 8000 (or any subsequent version) complete with boomerang functionality.

('Tis from the game "Ratchet & Clank" if you haven't played it.)

[lawastooshort]

Did the ring also explode? If not, pick up the ring, enter the church, ask for healing and curse removal - I will gladly convert now their god has sent me this sign.
