I had that issue where, just before the end of the first stage's fuel, it would come loose and smash into the rest of the rocket. And also that issue where crashing into a mountainside while time-warped does not cause the parachute to activate.
And the next launch, meant to triple-check this failing, showed that time warp screws with stability indeed.

The Neo-Launcher Mk Vb comes with several struts that should fix the issue of catastrophic section failure. It comes with a new quirk that two of the engines on the first stage do not activate. In addition, the second stage's liquid-fuel rocket is dry when said stage activates. The Vb does, however, succeed at its stated mission...and gets into orbit!
Um. I'm out of fuel. How is it going to land?

Not consistently.

Second and third launches of the "successful" rocket were failures. First was human error (I think?), which caused a catastrophic crash. The second failure was when the first stage started coming loose before it was released, and collided with the rest of the craft, causing a panicked ejection. At least he survived. That time.

"Your so smart you clearly don't need me to tell you.
She was pointing out that you basically told everyone "There's danger!" in the most costly manner possible. No need to get snippy, Torban.

"Might I suggest a rapid exit?"

"There's a reason for that, the Fisher King was keeping the Holy Grail in his outhouse. One guess which part."

((Regardless, I have an ominous feeling that Angel is going to be the first casualty. Again.))

Chat with people at bar about religion.

Mine has a function pad but no blue numpad.

To be fair Will isn't all that interesting. I'd prefer Angel or Nuriel over him.
I like the snark and such. But yeah, past that...

Again: I wish I knew more about ceramics. I'm willing to bet that battlesuit plate isn't as brittle as common pottery, though. And hm...conducts heat pretty well. Melts, obviously, but at high temperatures. And plasma is about the only non-esoteric way to get to those high temperatures. I'll try something...different.

I think I'll try something slightly 40k-inspired.

Title Project "Monobolas".

Connect two weights with the thin wire stuff a monorazor's "blade" is made out of. Include some kind of vibrator mechanism in the weights to make the wire oscillate (one retracts while the other releases).
Create a launcher which launches them at high speed. Perhaps a Gauss thing?

Test on a human, a wooden pillar, and a battlesuit. Determine price.

((I voted in the poll.
Thought 1: Hey, why am I the only one who anyone else voted for?
Thought 2: Hey, why aren't there any votes on Other?
Thought 3: Oops. Hehe.
Thought 4: Crap.))

5337
That's the thing about Will's power: It either screws up obstacles or it doesn't do squat.

5338
Will attempts to determine if the man was telling the truth when he said the grail was not here.
[ROLL: Really?] He's probably lying. Just a hunch.
GWG's trusting, and really did it hurt anything?

Will enters the castle and begins searching for the Grail.

This is why I need to make a bunch of Faustian contracts. I will be like the dragonborn and trick the demon princes into deals for my soul and then they'll realize I promised it to all of them. That is sure to be fun.
I'm pretty sure the demons have decent book-keeping skills.
Agreed.  I'm expecting the Pratchettian response to Pascal's Wager - his soul wakes up surrounded by a circle of demon princes with various weapons, eager to show him what they think of "Tricky Richard" in these parts... :P
Wait, how do Pratchet, Pascal, and Richard fit into this?

You need the Enchanting skill.
Hello.

And what's been going on lately? I don't think I've managed to figure out what's been going on since the sparring or so.

Carl has some idea of what is going on.
Unlike GWG.

He has been participating in appropriate ways, I guess.
