Soulburn is painful and harmful long and short term.

557
Well, yeah.

Adventurers are special. There's a lot of lost knowledge and not a lot of universities.

558
Yep. You can be all-powerful once, and briefly. If you KNOW that you're going to die, then there's no reason not to.

Laws of Shadow run are good.

Also, bear in mind that Adventuring training does include magical training. The average adventurerer is not average.

Sometimes, the dice will work out to where one character accidentally destroys an encounter for the group.

Other time, hilarity ensues.

To be fair, I didn't intend for the gods to be summoned. My idea was to make it challenging by making so me people unable to be killed without Consequences.

The dice had other ideas, and things just sort of massively escalated.

There are so many cleaning spells that it would fill libraries. In general, you'd only need a few to make it easy, but image art restoration, medical treatment, the servants of rich folks, etc.

There's virtue in knowing all of the "domestic" types - fine control, high spell levels that contribute to destructive, high-level magic, healing,  attention to detail, etc.  I'd imagine that as an Adventurer, it's entirely possible that they learned folk/hedge magic early in Magic and Powers 101.

With any luck, I will be able to resume soon.

Here's the Unofficial Report on the King Fire, from Wednesday to about 2 AM PST this morning.

Let us instead say that the lines protecting the evacuation town and Highway 50 are being held firmly, and that conditions are remaining steady.

Also, I am one of the "scanner jockeys" who is monitoring the emergency frequencies for people's information. If you would like, I will post the unofficial daily summaries for you.

One of my best friends can finally come home!

Even better, they have a home to come back to!

Fire size update.

Tankers are on their final runs.

Confirmed arson.

10 million in Bail.

Charge the little fucker with terrorism. Sorry not sorry.

There are a few supplemental rules for this game (and all games).

They are the rules of Cool, Awesome, and Funny: if something is cool, awesome, or funny enough, it is an automatic success.

I would file this general circumstance as the Rule of Comedic Sociopathy. If your characters weren't cheerfully violent with each other on a regular basis, I would worry about what exactly they were plotting.

569
SHIT.

27 930 acres is 43.640 square miles.

Proposed convention / unofficial rule :

For PvP non-serious violence under 5 HP damage, it is up to the discretion of the players until and unless arbitration is requested.
