Bay 12 Games Forum

So, uhh... school has started up again, and it looks like I'm gonna have a TON of homework this semester. So... expect few updates, if any at all for a while.

loot Marcus' Incomprehensible Tome. Attempt to comprehend it.

You grab the tome and begin studying it. (4) You find the book is filled with magic runes which you have never seen before. (Luck 5) Despite this, you somehow figure out what is actually written in the book, only it's... changing. As if the book is talking to you. Weird.

Take irony's Moloch breastplate and replace mine with it. Get used to the weight.

You grab the breastplate (6) with a single hand, and the weight of it makes you collapse to the ground. After the initial foolishness however, you are able to equip the armor without incident.

Find several stones that I can carve Rune of Channeling which can be used as a quick way to setup a larger area of instant tripwire with my staff or hopefully the whole confined area with a rune.
Don't do this but see if it would be feasible to carve a Rune of Channeling on the Stone Spirit, for a mobile (and airborne) magic tripwire.

You locate several stones and begin carving runes into them. (6) You masterfully work out the details in each one, (Luck 5) and now have 3 'spellstones' which can store a single spell or be used as the target of one.

+3 to Runecrafting

You decide that if you did carve a rune of channeling on your stone spirit, it could act as a beacon for your magic. However, any magic you channel through it would affect it as well, and it might not be very happy if you started channeling hostile effects through it.

Search around for a high mage of healing magic and ask him if he can help me get back to living from being undead.
Also, if possible as a free action, grab Marcus's Sturdy Leather Boots and Reinforced Skullcap. And if possible, wear them in the same turn.

You look around for a powerful mage who has skill with healing magic. (5) Oh hey, there's Nirur.

Really, that's the best you're going to get. The demons killed everyone else.

I'll assist Tarran, so nobody freaks out over an apparently free-willed undead being wandering around.

((Do I still have the crystal my skeletons freed from several turns back? If so, could someone please make me an amulet of regeneration at some point, so that I may occasionally overpower my spells?))

(4) You manage to accompany Tarran without incident.

And yes, you still have the crystal.

Main: Goof off with frost particles. Practice with control of melting snowflakes to gain control of water.
Free: Steal Marcus's ring of fire resistance. Dance with glee.

Oh baby, baby.

(3) You try to melt some ice, but it seems your forte is with removing heat energy, not adding it. (Luck 4) The ice does melt however, if only from being left outside in the wasteland.

You do manage to recover Marcus' ring.

Collect the demon shock-trooper goo, then prepare to leave.

(1+1) You have extreme difficulty scouring the demon's corpse, and end up ruining most of the usable parts. (Luck 5) You di manage to extract a single vial of demon ichor, however.

+2 to Butchering

Keep experimenting with the Crystal Staff and see if I can change color effortlessly and make it possible for me to change to whatever color I want without having to do it randomly.
Stone Spirit keeps levitating while it heals me.

---
I would go for the second boss, but seeing as I can't remember where that boss is or its strength/weakness at the moment I would rather wait until either I find it somewhere here or if someone kindly could point me to the general direction of that post.

You attempt to shift the color of the crystal without expending any effort, (2) but find that doing so is quite impossible. (Luck 5) You are easily able to shift the staff to any color you want as long as you focus on it, however.

New Ability: Color Focus

MAKE ICE ARMOR SO COLD IT CAN WITHSTAND FIRE. Also, leave with group.

Yeah, I feel pretty silly about frosting a stasis'd demon. I thought he would break out or something, but that would still mean casting BEFORE everyone acted was a retardedededed idea.

I've been disconnected from ze internets for a while, on account of being in Vegas for a conference. (Yay for three days in a shitty hotel and not seeing the strip). Posting from shitty airport wifi. Gonna just agree with everyone about where to go, since I'll run about of batteries in the time it takes me to research locations and all that fun stuff.

In an attempt to break the laws of reality, you try to make an ice shield that is immune to fire. (3) Such a task is extremely difficult even for one so skilled in ice magic as yourself, but you do manage to make some progress. (Luck 4) You end up creating a barrier that, while it will melt, should completely shield you from a single fire attack.

+4 to Elementalism
New Spell: Null Ice

The group leaves Moloch's lair and travels south, to the refugee camp. Surprisingly, they don't encounter any demons along the way, which is good because Nirur's skeletons have to carry Marcus in a makeshift stretcher.

Cast frost vs morningstar demon before everyone acts.

Support character is best character!

(2+4) As frosting demons is a trivial task for one so skilled in ice magic as yourself, you have no trouble in pulling this off. (Luck 5) You freeze the already frozen demon.

 

So the Morningstar Demon's frozen? Yeeessss, time for revenge.

Seeing the Morningstar Demon frozen, I charge at him and attempt to decapitate him.

You charge at the demon, (2+2) blade arcing towards the creature's head. (RTD 0) Being encased in ice, the creature doesn't really have any chance to dodge. You shatter the ice surrounding the creature, and inflicting massive amounts of damage.

+2 to Swords

Wow, so my Stone Spirit can fly? Awesome!

I Grave Embrace the Morningstar Demon.
When Stone Spirit gets Davar down to ground of if Davar gets full control of "flight", heal him. Make sure that Stone Spirit does not drop like a stone. Pun indirectly intended.

You charge up a Grave Embrace, (1+2) but your power fails you at the last moment. (Luck 1) Instead you experience a backlash of energy which rips through your body.

The earth spirit heals Davar, (3+1) recovering a decent amount of his health.

Calm myself, then attempt to use the magical conversion device on the morning star demon, before it dies, but after frost and grave embrace, thus before it gets decapitated.

 (4) You aim your conversion device at the demon, (Luck 1) but it seems that demons don't count as a magical energy source. The device sputters a bit, then stops.

Oh.

Politely tap Irony on the shoulder and request that he imbue a demon soul into the axe. Be on guard for escapees.

You tap Davar on the shoulder and remind him of your former agreement.

I cast/learn Cure Moderate Wounds on IronyOwl.

My skeletons retrieve the crystal they removed earlier, and bring it to me.

You attempt to heal IronyOwn with a powerful healing spell, (2) but find you just aren't quite up to the task. (Luck 5) You do cast a normal healing spell on him, however.

+2 to Healing

No, that demon must experience death, like I did. He must pay. He. Must. DIE.

We could also try shackling his soul to one of your items, if you'd like. Of course, last guy I promised that to had to wait 9 turns for it...

If I am fully or almost fully healed, bind the hunter demon to Dunib's axe.

Otherwise, Cure Minor Wounds on self.

You attempt to bind the hunter demon to Dunib's axe, (3) but struggle with the unusual properties of the demon's soul. (Luck 2) You end up wasting the soul, and the demon fades into nothingness.

You gently float down to the ground.

The demon shocktrooper collapses into a pile of gore.

He'll be shackled to your death?

Finally. That took for-ever.

Try to find another, weaker demon to kill, then try to absorb that one's energy to heal myself.

Yeah, won't be able to play this one. Sorry. Hydrall, you're up I guess.

Hmm... I'll try to play some tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get through the whole year. I might have to upload the save halfway through if that's okay with you guys.
