I walk into the caverns, followed by Flare the ruby dragonhawk familiar construct, in "testing stuff gear", which is mostly very thick padding and explosionproofing glyphs.
I then notice the cage.
And the Forgotten Nuisance within (mini-FB).
"Yike."
"That needs repair."
"Also, what base?"
"I think you mean fort."
((By the way, you might want to color not-you differently from you, endlessblaze.))
"Anywho. Stuff to test, so stay behind me."
I then take aim with the Distance Entropy Denial Ray (not technically a ray) (DEDR) and fire a shot at 10/1 U (distance/radius) on freeze mode.
"It worked. I can feel the chill from here."
((Amp? Your decision on just how well it worked. This is medium-effectiveness size, for reference.))
Flare notices the FN in the cage and flies over inquisitively.

@Pyrefly; We escaped the caverns, you entered a coma to heal- which has now ended -Biggerfish made a tiny dragon-homunculus out of rubies and !!Magiscience!!, I made a shitty submachine gun, and there's a new staircase.
And it's not a homunculus. It's a construct.

"Welcome back to the land of the living. I'm afraid we weren't able to do much for you other than keep you warm and safe while you replaced the damaged bits of exoskeleton, though it would seem rather odd that a full comatose hibernation period is necessary to rebuild a few plates. Perhaps it was arcane backwash."

« on: July 21, 2015, 09:03:01 pm »D&D is all and well, but I think you missed the "both sides controlled by players" bit. GMing something is LOTS OF WORK because you have to MAKE things. The theory is, there's a bunch of premade stuff that NON-GMs control.I wonder if it would be possible to have a traditional antagonistic PvE encounter, in which both sides are played by players.Have you tried hack-and-slash R.P.G.s, Dungeons and dragons for example, with a human Game-master? Possibly the single greatest moment in computer-gaming history was when someone realised that they could have all the dungeon-looting joys of a table-top R.P.G. but without needing a group of people...
But seriously, D&D would have been mentioned if D&D was what was wanted, methinks.
Also, re: Close fight mechanics:
HP % remaining on the heroes averaged over the last thirty seconds of the fight or something.

==A Freshly Excavated Workshop==
"Looks like..Yup."
Everything appears properly set up. ((And by appears, I mean is))
"Right. Time to work on this."
A bit of work occurs, culminating in the production of a Nether Cap based freeze ray. Well, not a freeze ray, but the device sucks in heat from a target point. Currently-unsightable (or out of range) targets are welcome to the 'grenade' form, one of which is also produced. ((They're reuseable.)) Range setting is manual, at the moment (slider, 3-50 Urists with AoE being a sphere of 2U radius or less, also manually set with a limit down to about .1U (note that the effect will be more powerful in smaller areas) ), as the AI complex enough to determine a target based on intent is not supported on the stone these are made of.
The capability to increase heat is also added, on a toggle switch.
Of course, I'm not DONE, but this is a quick job, mostly simply applying an enchant and some logic.
The real work starts when I have the sapphires collected and another pair of diamonds.
((Basic supplies, like wood and some basic spools of metal and all, are not mentioned in that list.))
