((ouch. So much for a caeser cipher. Let's try some Frequency Analysis!))

((Lack of spaces and punctuation makes this very difficult. But I'll make the attempt. To start, the most used letter in the english alphabet(please don't tell me you're not using english) is e.))

((Count of characters:

r: 3
?: 7
-: 4
4: 3
k: 10
.: 15

Okay, I can't get through counting all this, but I think the period is a vowel. Fmu emcq cbeyp Yjjcl nmc?

Of course, my count might be horribly off...))

((You're a bit off.
Tip: It's involves a conversion, a shift, a caesar, and a 'failed' decryption. I was gonna have it have a rolling cipher as well, but decided against it.
Here's the 'key', so to speak: "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890 ?!.,:'-=+_"
I am using english though.

((It's a bit of a nightmare.))

((Edit: The 'failed' decryption was going a bit far. Here it is without: '2242420141346291718284621182929211446132424353446302546104632171821144611101220494611344629171446321034504632243021134634243046111446242046321829174610462514101214462927141029344746185213461114463218212118231646292446292710131446104615143246282514212128461524274629171029491'))

((In other words, you used density over quality.))

((In other words, you used density over quality.))

(That was the end result, though not the original idea. It's more of me having an idea and slapping something together to make it happen before I forget about it. The core idea was to translate each letter/core symbol into a 2-digit number, combine , then move the first digit to the last spot, then convert back. I honestly don't remember where all the extraneous bullshit (Caesar +FD) came from or what I was thinking. This is why I shouldn't do things while tired, because I forget things and am impulsive as fuck.))

((Ok, Let's try that again. Now with substantially less bullshit and substantially more actual thought:

((That'd probably be a good idea. We've kinda derailed this thread. :/ Don't know where it'd go, though.))

((Forum Games, then. Would you like to create the thread?))

((And back to Magic and the dragon which I have a feeling is Magic immune except fire.))

((And back to Magic and the dragon which I have a feeling is Magic immune except fire.))

((The Dragon can be affected by magic.))

((And back to Magic and the dragon which I have a feeling is Magic immune except fire.))

((The Dragon can be affected by magic.))

((So far, I believe the dragon's only real injury has been the arrow Afenzar shot at its eye. That was guided by acceleration magic, but was technically a normal object.

Your attempts at controlling it had an effect, but there hasn't been any noticeable difference since it ate the worm's shards.

In short, we really don't know what using a solely magic-based attack would do. Either DreamerGhost thought it was important enough to include in my research spell, or it was just a kind of emphasis/pointless exposition.

The fact does remain that fire is the thing's weakness, so we should use that regardless or its invulnerability))

[thegamemaster1234]

((If that dragon is affected normally by spells (being magical does not mean it necessarily gains inherent magic resistance) that gives me quite the opportunity to really test out my time magic... if I can survive being close enough to see it. That is, after I'm done adventuring near the castle area which may or may not become death by other treasure hunters.))

[fillipk]

((Hey Whisperling, I've got a favor to ask of you.))

Still loot the corpse of all its shards, and items but then head to the tree house and get rid of the methanol
