It would seem a majority here are interested in other goals than wanton slaughter. But it only takes one mage to ruin what seems to be peace here and turn it back into a bloodbath. We need a way to govern ourselves, to prevent needless death. It is not my goal to stop the violence, as that is why some mages have come. They may still tear at each other's throats, but they cannot be allowed to force their bloodlust upon others who do not seek it. We need a Council." Jase speaks solemnly, making sure his voice is still loud enough to be heard."You have my agreement."
"And every council needs chambers. That is why I have come. I will build us a fortress, a sanctuary in this battlefield to prevent bloodshed for those who do not seek it. To that end, I ask any of you in support of this vision to grant me a few of your essences. I will need them if I am to make this hope a reality." Jase continues. Once he finishes, he watches the other mages for reactions.Ah I see a luck mage. You do realize that all luck is an extension of quantum immortality. Right? Also if you know a better way to summon a sword when normal magic appears blocked, I'm all ears.Upon hearing this, the Gambler turns toward Skelliborn, a dark look upon his face.
"You do realize that all a blade is issa hunk of material, right?
Maybe I'm just a petty court magician peddlin' tricks, fakin' an' lyin' to earn my daily gold an' keep an' destined for an early grave when I get found out as a fraud.
Well, my experience is jus' a lil' bit dif'rent. Luck issa force. Measurable. Changeable. Beautiful. You can feel it, see how the events fall with my enchantments. I can feel tha strings an' courses o' fate themselves an' bind 'em to objects an' people. If ya give me enough time, I could rig the dice o' the gods 'emselves. But if ya need a bit a proof, I could jus' take your luck, if ya think ya so right. May the Mistress protect you, if you do."
"Honestly I have no idea why you think the g-d of blood is a big deal. He's only a minor deity where I come from. But if you really care so much about who I request a weapon from I will change which I ask to lend me their blade. Wouldn't want to create a riot in the case that it failed.
Oh and you underestimate the power of the blade. While a non-blade mage can't control a blade fully and thus can't match up to other mages, blade mages have been known forge or summon blades that slice through magic like a knife cuts through cheese. There is a reason that blades exist. Because every once in a while, a blade mage creates a good one that changes history.
But I do see your point about luck and lets face it, there isn't much I can do with my current silicon ball blade thingy. So I'd like to ask your help. If you increase my luck to help me summon a decent weapon, I will pay you 3 shards."[/glow]
