Bay 12 Games Forum

"Well...it's not a PLAN, per se, just an idea, but if what you've given me is more or less accurate, I'm thinking we could try a rather big spell, 12 f1 a8, to be precise."

"It could either kill us all or just kill them, but it'd probably do the trick."

((I'm pretty sure the result will be hilariously horrifying and probably has a greater chance of killing everyone instead of everyone-who-isn't-us, but we should do it, just for the sheer horror.))

"Hmm, I could continue my Bearomancy studies... did you want to add 'sabb' to that? Might help 'direct' it forcefully towards the bad guys"
((We will require a pot combo between 11 and 15 for standard, 12 and 16 for +sabb if we want to succeed, want to swap out '12' for something cheaper?))

"Should we go guns blazing or try something a little more sneaky? I have ideas for both so I want to know what you think."

"I'm good with hearing both, I like stealth, but I'm not entirely against running in swinging this sword wildly, provided you have an ok plan for it. Hey, got to be some perks to near immortality... right?"

(('Aight, that also puts into clarity what it actually does.))

Ryles's face grows a few shades paler as he whirls his head around looking for phantoms, before settling on the Fleshbat.

"Oh....shit, we should go now."

Ryles firmly grabs Killy's other arm.

Killy just stares at his new stump blankly for a moment.
...
"Crap"
...
*arm grabbing occurs*

"Wait what? Oh right, I think we should head around to the back building if at all possible, what do you think?"

((Can I cast multiple "spell chains" in the same turn if I have enough points? It doesn't really seem mentioned anywhere.))

((Original ruling was that you can only cast two and must distribute your pool between them. But on second thought, it should be fine to cast any number of spell chains so long as you distribute at least one point of pool to each chain. So if you still want to, just edit in your COMP pool allocation for each chain.))

((Aw yeah, that'll make some focused testing go faster and thus be less obnoxious.))

Nice, I did the maths tho, splitting up the rolls like that drastically reduces the chances of favorable rolls. And when I say "I did the math" I wrote a C program to brute force the complicated probability rules and manually count outcomes  for up to 8 die. Took about a second per "x% chance to get y on your roll" with 8 die, didn't go any higher tho, 10 die would have taken 22 years by my calculations.
It was a boring afternoon.

Despite this I'm going to throw caution to the winds, and be the architect of my own demise. To save time.

"10" COMP:7
"17" COMP:7

The Math^TM says I have something about a 10% chance of getting zero or less for these rolls. Or at least the estimates I made off of my math for 8 die, because I'm lazy, haven't done actual probability math in about 4-5 years. Also I'm pretty sleep deprived right now, so sorry for that

Don't worry, I shouldn't be SCIENCEing for too long before I seriously consider attacking that building. Both are probably equally lethal, and I'm probably more likely to find a power source in there for my gun before I'd find words I could combine to make one.

Lol, actually wanted to drop my excess stuff in the magma, but oh well. That works
I'll make a turn when my brain is ready to do the thing.

"What have you found so far with your magic dictionary?"

((Did you check my spoilered chunk of post previously? Just add shiny silver metal to that ))

"Also are you going to be bringing your...uh...horse along?"

"If we think we can sneak him in.. yea. Or maybe my companion here can be our mounted cavalry, should our plan require it."
