Page 16: Take the loot and equip it.
Ain't no-one rescuing us besides ourselves here...

My respect GWG, this already made my day - in an intellectual manner, that is. I actually loved these kinda books back then, so the nostalgia is most delicious.

I am glad to have met your standards of approval.

If you take both and continue onwards, go to Page 12.
You pick up the creature’s sword and strip off its robe, slipping it on over your clothes and wrinkling your nose at the smell. You head onwards, coming to another fork in the corridor.

...Is it just me, or is the interior of a labyrinth not ideal for having long, detailed descriptions that might make these take up an appreciable amount of the page?

Meme attempts to stealthily tackle Will! Giggling happily as she flew through the air.

Will catches her and falls backwards carefully.
"Oh! You got me!"

<Um... o-one million...?>

<That works.>

Why are there so many spaceship design games? Sure, it's been a while since there have been any, but it seems like the gimmicky kind of game that happens once, maybe with a couple copycats if it's popular.

sheer prediction does not replace hand-eye coordination. he needs to move his hand very fast and then close his hand at the exact right time. Dex plays a role here, and not a small one

Smaller than you'd think. Where do you think Will is? How are you getting high speeds without being visible a good way out? Pretty much the only thing you need timing for, if you know their trajectory (which is exactly what Will's power can do), is close your hand...and wouldn't you know, people have a reflex for that kind of stuff.

I mean what, does Wills Mind stat completely replace his Dex stat?

I mean, he just predicts where every enemy attack will go, so of course he dodges them easily. likewise he predicts where they'll move, so he easily hits, all thanks to the power of minmaxing?

Well, it's a possibility Elf and I discussed. In actual combat, it costs mana, but out of combat mana is restored fast enough that we don't actually track it.

sheer intuition means nothing when your body can't keep up. the ability to make very precise movements, especially when moving very fast is hand-eye coordination and muscle memory from training, or put together, dexterity. It's the difference between putting theory into practise. Like a scientist and an engineer. I know a ton of stuff about the haber bosch process, because I study chemistry, but even if I had accurate blueprints, high quality tools and months of time, I'd not be able to properly built a fucking reactor

Again, it takes less swift split-second timing than you'd imagine. Unless of course Hai was invisible and silent.

Don't say that like it's easy. I had 33 deaths on my easy playthrough and didn't even get around to capturing an Outsider.

Partly because I kept failing to successfully assault UFOs, partly because of the lack of surviving arc-thrower-wielders on said missions.

<Hey, Yuri, I just had an idea. How hard would it be to make a teleportation circle? Oh, and Selina, could I invest your money some?>

<Um... i-i-in what...?>

<Stocks, probably.>

"Little Titan, ask Kyle if he can make you one too, then we'll go and explore the city from the sky!"

<Not until Meme has plenty of training using them in safe, controlled environments.>

Then she remembers why she sought Will out

Are you still working on that server you developed?

"I was delayed by Kyle filling my room with notes, but yes."

Well I was hoping to get access to one, i have been meaning to run an rpg, and doing it on the server could immerse people really well

Will nods. "I was thinking of a project like that...wait, tabletop or video game? Either one works, but they require different kinds of resources."

Tabletop

"Gotcha. Maybe we could repurpose the server Kyle stole."
