((So, I thought this WASN'T in Everoc/Spearbreakers, or are elves just naturally hopping through universes or something?))

Got a new watch, but even after putting it on the smallest 'hinge' (idk what they're called) it's still way too big for my tiny sparrow snap-like-twig wrists. Removing the links seems very dubious. >:l
AFAIK you can probably do that, they should all be the same part.  If it's the kind with hingey metal bits. 
Disclaimer: I am not an expert, nor have I asked one.

NO PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH, PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

((im quite sure a mage such as yourself would recognize a rune for protection against magic effecting the mind))
You did not, in fact, state that ANYWHERE, not to mention that I have my own protections.  And they're considerably more potent.

((only one link on the chain needs a rune
-snip-
 and if i don't have enough power i can just use the ambient magic
In order:
Eh.  It's a separate object, each link, even if conceptually it's a chain.  I agree with Amp.

The ambient DIRECTLY DICTATES your power. Unless you have a mana battery, you don't have any more magic than the local background will provide.

Also, would three of us casting the same spell be enough to get the beast to stop trying to fry us?

Hey Amp, I never did hear back from you about me cloning myself???  Completely unrelated but, you know.  I'd like to have options in place.  Especially as this does not look as if it will end well.

"NO NO THAT IS GETOFFOFME NO."
"WHATTHEBLOODYARMOKAREYOUDOING oh mindzap."
"SAY before you DO you damnfool noob!"
I quickly channel an illusion spell to mask our very existence from the creature, changing the reflected wavelengths from our four bodies and things on them.  I attempt to prep a Peace spell (renders things unable to perform violent actions), if I can do so.

Seeing the incoming burst of VERY STUPID in the form of chaining up something MADE OF STEEL SAWBLADES with ANYTHING, I intercede and stop endlessblaze and Reiron (I assume) before they actually chain the beast.  I instead give them prepared spells to Charm/Peace the beast with.
((As for the wings, it was not stated to the contrary.))

Have you tried driving across states in Australia?
Nope.  Mostly because I live in the US.  It can't possibly be worse than (not)rush hourall the time traffic, can it?  Or is it simply that circuitous?

"Yeagh!"
I reflexively slam down the alert button on my PEA, which transmits a signal to the alert beacon I installed in the barracks.  The beacon glows red and blinks a specific pattern indicating the caverns.
I flip down my new Nether Cap visor, pull out my staff, and start channeling a shield, hopefully covering myself and any other survivors.  I then move them and myself to some form of cover.  Not that it really matters with a giant plasma torch going.
((Because EB and the other worker are still down there.))
I then pull out a Nether Cap shield.  The kind Roman legions used to make their turtle formation with, I think.  It's rectangular.
Trusting the absolute temperature of Nether Cap and my testing gear to protect me from the worst, I start approaching the threat range once again.  ((Also, explosionproof means heatproof, because it would be a poor job to protect from kinetic force and still fry the victim.  Just want to actually note that.))
I take note of the flow of magic within the creature, attempting to see how it works.

You could knock up a Source map in Hammer like that pretty quickly. The engine supports it, anyway.

EDIT: With these https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Linked_portal_door
EDIT2: And a demonstration of the kinds of things you could do with them https://youtu.be/_xFbRecjKQA

What's Hammer?

A free map building tool for games like Dota 2, CS:GO, TF2, Half-life 1/2, etcetera. You can download it right now if you have Steam.
And Portal 1/2.

Buh. Just realised the show I want to go to the day I get back from the 'States (tonnes of friends from around the country, great bands, should be pretty damn fun) is actually in a different state to the one I will arrive in that day.
So I'm either going to have to get a flight for the same day (and have even less time to recuperate from jetlag) or miss out. :(
Or drive?  I mean, you COULD, if scheduling permits.
Although I have this gut feeling scheduling does not permit.
And try and sleep on the plane, or something?  Eh.  I don't know the details of your itinerary nor am I particularly interested in so doing.
Although if you have tons of friends going and you can make the drive work, you could probably hitch a ride, sleep in the car or something.  GL either way.

So instead I was told that tomorrow I will have to put the boxes onto the shelf above where the slips were originally stored.
You seem to be saying that tomorrow is "Bring a Pulley and/or a Carryall Hand Truck* to Work Day."

And some rope. or maybe a small trebuchet

Maybe smaller boxes if you're actually being sensible instead of awesome, I'unno.

*Why in the name of zeus does those things have some many goddamn names!? "hand truck, also known as a two wheeler, stack truck, trolley, trundler, box cart, trolley truck, sack barrow, sack truck, dolly, or bag barrow"
All you people managed to forget "that wheely thing you stack boxes on that isn't one of those flat cart thingies"?  ;P

I fear Xanty may be on a doomed quest
Making his avatar creepier then it already is, is kinda like trying to blend a blender
It just won't blend/creepify
It was just a scribble before, no?  Eh.
Also, you can blend a blender, you just need a bigger, better blender.
