Respawn thinking of a SCP.

[6] You respawn wearing SCP-963? I think that's the one with Dr. Bright. Anyways, you're not in control. Respawn?

Grab Vorthie, jump into hole.
Respawn with take-apartable bow. (i.e., one you could dissemble.)

[1v3] Vorthon sidesteps you; you plunge into the hole to your doom. Respawn? Yup. [1] You have a broken bow.

Steal misko and his bow, throw into machine and press button. Hope for bagels for Nyalarthotep

You throw misko's corpse and bow into the machine. [2] Out comes some fleshy globs in toroidal forms.

Animate plushie with Eldritch magic and watch it tear him limb from limb
Take it back
Go out of room
Start Azathoth TV show

[1] The plushy eats you! Respawn?

Throw Nylarthotep and all the champions into the machine

[6v1+2+2] You wrestle them into the machine. [6] Out comes a Horrible Monster of Horribleness! It kills you! Respawn?

I will use Kick of Authority on the largest goblin!

"Well, that escalated quickly. I just wanted to have a note read.  Can I go now or are you going to do something else?"
"Vel, ze traitor zituazon zeemz to hov zolved eetzelf. You may go."

Trig-R-HPY-1 enters some rooms.
"Is this where I need to go?"
"No! Go away!"
"Is this where I need to go?"
"Beat it!"
"Is this where I need to go?"
"Maybe...um, probably not..."
"Is this where I need to go?"
"Good-bye."
"Is this where I need to go?"
"STUPID FLESHLING, I WILL--"
"Is this where I need to go?"
"Who are you?"
"Is this where I need to go?"
"Look, where are you trying to go?"

The others sit around and think some.

Okay, let's review the situation Ironhide sees.

There are two Duckbills, each of which is much larger than the Hunters.
The Hunters number only a few, and have barely been scratching the little one. Now a Duckbill twice the little one's size has shown up.
Our hunger scores are around 3/4 or 4/5 of the maximum.
Only one course of action makes sense.

"Retreat!"

Ironhide makes a retrograde advance.

Oh, and Merry Christmas.

That sounds acceptable. You shouldn't be able to just wander over to the tower to learn magic.

About nonmagical energy turning into magical energy: Why is that different from nonheat energy turning into heat energy, or any other energy conversions? And why is it different from magical energy turning into nonmagical energy (like zombies turning cranks/throwing stuff/etc, or fireballs creating light and heat, etc)? What is it that separates magical and nonmagical energy, anyways?

You are aware that the implication is that all magicians have a "Magic Organ" that converts the bodies calories into magic right?

No, I am unaware of any such implication. Even assuming that requires the inbuilt assumption of magic being inherently distinct from nonmagic.

What generally seperates magical and nonmagical energy is the protean nature of magic.

But still you cannot rub two sticks together and get magic, you need an intermediary.

Which ultimately you COULD keep inventing reasons why doing push ups makes magic, or you could simply have a system where people ritually call upon magic to cast spells (aka the mana system)

1. Where did the push-ups thing come from? The idea of magicians using their own energy is in no way incompatible with rituals and the like.
2. ATP doesn't just power muscles. Stop being a scientific illiterate and read one of the times I've said that earlier in this thread.
3. Magicians powering magic with, say, their body heat or something makes about as much sense as any other kind of magic.

misko27? He's in that cage above your head, and doesn't currently have a bow.
