Anyone want to advise me on where to send Grate? It doesn't seem anyone he knows (except a couple people he met once and was freaked out by) is going, so...where would he be useful?

I'm glad to hear it, because that's what I intended to convey.

Yes, I'm allowing one action and many spells each turn (because there is a pool limit). Thinking and talking are free actions, though.

Hold on. If thinking is a free action, can't I use my infinite time to deduce every single word?
As for talking, I can deafen my foes with infinite yelling, right? Or is this not the sort of thing you meant?

((We had a Plan A?))

ASMRA is the people who captured Ashley, right?

Personally, I'm in favour of 'porting out to DL2 (via the Underside, to pick up Goombess) at the first unlimited use checkpoint we find. Because:

Sounds good. Reason 2 is a bit weak, but reasons 0, 1, and 3 are good.

Just realised something - no rolls in Tactical Combat. We could have used our spells all the way through.

If we rolled a decent Shenanigans roll, maybe.

Ah well, might as well do some brief theorycrafting.
-snip-

1. Possible, but there are better goals for that. Like combating an outside, wait never mind.
2. Sounds a lot like other theories people have been bating about, with assorted variations.
Evidence would help both.

This opens up many questions.

Change slog to passive party, ripriver to active

+1 on the off chance it is possible.

Nice picture.

Interesting. Anyone else remember my crazy theory about the Warrens being a spaceship?

Take some leaves from the trees. Go east.

Ask about the nature of these defenses. I mean, knowing our luck someone else will have repaired them.

+1. Also ask if he knows anybody here who might be able to help him.

Oh. That makes more sense.
