I guess you don't need to Sense Quality skill to actually appraise items? I noticed that it was in a list of skills that a trainer could teach me, and not on my actual skill list. Also weight-lifting, which I most certainly bought.

"Even ignoring the magic, I can't really say I've ever heard anything quite like it. There's a certain energy to it, or a focus, I can't fully describe. But I've never met a musician who really compares."
Martyn shrugged, peering at a scrap of cloth, a ribbon, and what looked like some sort of rabbit's foot within a case. A mystery as to why these things were here with the rest of it. And yet, he had the strangest compulsion to try buying them. Oh well.
Sam flushed at the compliment, and almost missed Martyn's final comment as a result. Almost.
: "Ah. Uh, heh, sorry about that. These drums are designed to be heard in the middle of some pretty serious battles, where clashing metal and screams and magic going off can drown out a lot of sound. I know we get into some pretty hectic fights, but I guess they don't really need to be played at full volume..."

Is there any particular trick in dealing with Hungry Demons? I'm a gunner with decent skill and a submachine gun, yet these jerks can dance around my shots, touch me once or twice, and kill me even when Bloated. They, along with Kobolds, are probably the cause of most of my deaths. Thank the gods Elona isn't perma-death.

What's the best way to identify things such as potions and scrolls? All the wiki seems to say on the subject is that the Sense Quality skill doesn't do a thing for them.
In other news, wow I found what seems like a great shield. A "blessed ocean small shield <Neutral Immortality>". It's made of coral, raises DV by 2 and PV by 4, "maintains" Charisma and Dexterity, improves Axe skill (##), grants resistance to lightning (##), and increases Strength by 2. I'm a level 2 character just going through Puppy Cave.

I got to tour an old WWII-era submarine that was docked in San Francisco a few years back. Might still be there, actually. That sucker was cramped inside.

: "Yeah...I was," the musician responded, honestly a little surprised that Martyn had remembered that tidbit. "Y'see, there was a garrison just outside of our village, not far from Father's mill. I'd watch the Izzarran soldiers as they went about their drills, but more importantly I would watch and listen to the company musicians. I thought they were just about the coolest people in the world."The young woman smiled at the memory while examining the instruments and knickknacks on display. It occurred to the bard that this was one of the first times that her old revolutionary partner had asked questions about her (rather mundane) past.
: "So, being all of ten years old at the time I thought there was nothing I wanted to be more than a musician, lifting spirits and steeling resolves in glorious battle. I gathered some sticks and some flat stones, shingles, whatever would make a decent banging noise, and played along with the military band whenever I had a spare moment. Basically I just learned by example."

I look at the rushing plan and I see a bunch of sub-70 hit percentages. That's not to my liking, especially since failure would leave us open to one hell of a counterattack. I know that not all the attacks need to hit, but it's still very risky.
Turtle plan, on the other hand, sees up to three enemies dead, which means up to three fewer attacks to weather on the EP and more people up to take them. The ballistae will still be a thing, but their hit odds aren't the best, especially under the Charisma dome. I'm for Turtle; it's safer overall.

My colony survived 119 days before being overrun by the undead. I probably should have pulled dudes off of their towers earlier and sent them to bolster the defenses in the area that was actually being attacked.
