Run, me, run!

Oh, and idea: Could you give an update of how many plump helmets and plump helmet spawn we have at the end of each future update?

"The in- prefix typically describes the opposite of the suffix, right? And "flammable" means "it burns," right?"

Moon base.
Power. We could export electricity.
Hydrogen-3. Fusion's 20 years away and going to stay there a while, but H₃ is still valuable.
Tourism. Need I say more?

As to ships: Start out focusing on cheapness, reliability, and fuel efficiency. Speed is more a factor of what orbits you use and how much you put into acceleration than anything.

Hydrogen 3 is not found on the moon, or can be made cheaper in labratories

Helium-3 is. Common mistake. Point is that one is used for first Gen fusion, the other for second gen.

My mistake. It's still present in lunar rocks in proportions of one to fifty parts per billion, and worth around $2,000 per liter. Processing lunar rock for He₃ should prove profitable. Perhaps not enough to pay for the whole lunar base, but enough to make the industry a worthwhile addition to organic foods, power, and tourism.

This. But what if we were to suck Luna dry of helium 3, and there was none left to mine?
(And can that happen? I don't know that much about the moon.)

We can run out of water on earth if we use it all up, but it'll last us quite some time - I'd think the same applies to moon helium.

A better analogy might be geothermal power. We could use up all of the core's heat, but it's not likely.

I have devised a new rocket tek...
We make a giant bouncyball ans bounce our way into space

Cyrano de Bergerac had better ideas to get to the moon than that!
Especially the locust-rocket one.

I also missed the impending combat.

Send over a message noting that we are armed and will blow them out of the belt if they don't surrender. Advise freighter to hide behind an asteroid or something.

As My corpse burned, it exploded.

Demoknight respawns, grabbing his Claimh and charges the boss with it, raising his shield defensively.

[4] It dealt 45 points of damage to the boss.
[1] While you do respawn, you accidentally raise your sword and charge with your shield. It deals [13*5] 65 points of damage to your skull. Whoops...

The Ranger fires explosive arrows at TFB.

Spoiler: Ranger (click to show/hide)

Race: Human
Class: Ranger
Inventory:
Dryad's Pendant (Artifact) (Worn under clothing, allows the ranger to control the creatures of the earth, and to summon them every so often. Everything from elementals to ents can be controlled, but he can only summon smaller creatures/elementals.)

Woodsman's Cloak (Magic) (Allows the ranger to blend into his surroundings.)
Old Yew Longbow (Normal) (An old, trusty yew longbow.)
Nicked Dagger (Normal) (The Ranger's faithful tool and weapon.)
Boiled Leather Tunic (Normal) (Light, fashionable armor for the discerning woodsman.)
Backpack of Coolness (Backpack) (A backpack with a lot more space on the inside than the outside. And a lot of pockets.)

[1] Oh, wow, the dice hate you all. TFB sorta bats them back. The explosive arrows deal [1+5+4*5] 50 damage to you [4*5v2,1,5,3,5], 20 damage to Unholy_Pariah and Greenstarfanatic, and 10 damage to Objective.

Reap the benefit of respawn invincibility and charge at the boss then shrink and hide to retreat

[3] This game offers 1.5 seconds of respawn invincibility! [1] You charge into a wall. The wall deals [4+4*3] 24 damage to you and dazes you for this turn. [6-1] You shrink and hide in some corner.

[6] You fry TFB's boots and deal [3+3+1+6*10] 130 damage with an area spell dealing an element the boss is immune to. [v5,4,6,1,2] LordSlowpoke takes full damage, wait Objective is behind cover, Greenstarfanatic takes half damage, you are unaffected, and Doomblade187 dodges into TFB's fireplace for [1*5] 5 damage.

EQUIP RING OF DEFLECTION

BURST FIRE AT ELF DEMON

You put on the ring of deflection. [4] Holy Hand Grenade, you didn't horribly fail! The boss takes [3+5+3+1*5] 60 points of damage.

burp

[4] You belch. How rude.

Alright, let's see how much damage everyone's taken...
Unholy_Pariah: 20 damage
Greenstarfanatic: 150, dead
Doomblade187: 55 damage
Objective: 34 damage
LordSlowpoke: 100, dead
...You killed two out of your five party members, and another is about halfway there. All things considered, not too bad.

BOSS TURN:
TFB [5] casts Haste on himself. It's the old, 3rd edition haste that gives you extra actions...

The first of the interpretations looks realistic, but the second has the undeniable" cool" factor.

...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

CONSIDER OFFERS FROM STUDIOS. WHAT ARE THEY OFFERING ME?

ANYWAYS...AS MISKO IS CURRENTLY MY "BOSS," MAKE A MECHAHITLER FOR HIM WITH ASIMOV'S THREE LAWS MODIFIED TO SUIT HIM.
