I know. But "man with no legs" sounds a lot dinkier than "weathered badass with 2 wooden legs, one pair of shades, and a revolver that makes things go boom". I was trying to be encouraging.

Yeah, I see.
Our party's general acceptance principle goes "The more the merrier" so far anyway.

Becaue really, guys, a talking rock and a humming rock? How are you going to play with these?
I'm going to turn this around and ask what nerd plays a normal human when the rules could allow you to play as a floating rock. :P
((A nerd who wants to be useful in some actual, practical way?
Nah, he can be useful. You've seen how people tend to throw rocks to distract guards? Now imagine how much more useful it would be to be able to throw a rock that then starts meowing or telling a joke.

I also wonder if there's a belief feedback loop. Does believing belief changes things make belief change things? Does believing in there being a first heaven make a first heaven exist, thus making the people of that heaven see that heaven and make them believe it exists? Does your group going around spreading stories about how it's looking for the first heaven make the first heaven more real? Does it make finding it easier or more possible?
Why do you think I've been telling everyone I meet about it?

"So mass belief does dictate results here, my theory bears fruit. No doubt he has no normal name; a title gives him more power.
Hmm. I'll need to get people to believe I have the powers I did in life, then. No doubt the most effective method for this would be through mass murder in pursuance of my earlier theoretical extrapolations."


He looks briefly at John as he walks past.

"Hmm. You managed to make yourself new legs, congratulations. If you feel inclined, do make me an arm.
Ah, you'll take your gun back now then. I have all I need from it anyhow - if there's power invested in people with belief then no doubt their essence would in turn confer more power to the bullets.

Hrm. Allow me to infuse two bullets with my own blood, if you will - I wish to see their potential effects both now and after the fear of me is built up somewhat amongst the hells."


If John allows it, prime 2 bullets with my blood. Otherwise/then go back to excitedly theorizing.

"...I am going to be staying right here where reality is not distorting overly much. Fuck that."

Try contacting ARESTEVE, Steve, Heph command, etc. If I get through, tell them please get the elevator moving back up, or at least give me a layout of the place.

I ... I'm really happy right now. No real reason - well, in the sense that nothing happened to me that would make me happy, just remembering something else.
Falling asleep feeling like this would be nice, I think. I should go do that.

Yeah. Best to before the negative parts of the emotions kick in.

Hmm. It entirely depends on how you're interpreting the dwarves - are they relatively normally portrayed or are they the ridiculous insane occasional demon-ripping drunken bastards that happen in some forts, with the ability to build an entire wall in less than a day, mine with the speed of lightning, etc. Hard to say beyond that.

...
Oh, necromancers. Vampires. Werebeasts. Those'd fuck with most everything in Westeros, I'd think.
Maybe have an adventurer pop up.

The only thing I need to buy right now I don't have the levels/money I need until after this mission, and with my capacity to do medically bankrupt things that hurt very badly with my many arms, I'm relatively safe in loaning my tokens out temporarily provided I get them back right when I need them. It effectively purchases goodwill amongst the union members as well, which could benefit me if I have need of a large number of bodies in the future.

Alive bodies, you understand.

Don't be fooled, he's just as insane as when he started, he's just better at not showing it.

Man, we should make Xan ERs mascot at some point, hell, he already represents it pretty damn well.

Insane and (somewhat) immortal?
If I had to say, probably the insanity, being too stubborn to stop struggling for his lofty goals in the face of an uncaring and sometimes outright malavolent universe, his hilarious incompetence in some matters while being unnecessarily skilled in others, and his propensity to be more of a danger to his teammates than the actual threat the mission poses despite being a medic.

I've died around 4 times on the same character and judging from piecewise's general reaction to them/me I gather I either somewhat amuse him or am at least considered an okay guy by his standards.

Syvarris had the tinker thread title changed to reference his death warrant for months and was probably the primary driving force behind changing the way tinker was done ... twice. I can virtually guarantee the primary reason he's survived this long is that he's avoided actually rolling for a span of years. If he went into a dice situation ... *splatter*

...I'm more okay with this situation than you'd think someone would be.

"Alright then. Want me to help you melt it down? And presumably make a new one?"

Offer assistance! Contemplate my psychological condition!

"Yes, that will work very well. I just need to obtain the necessary materials to initiate the first several fire-based deaths. And I'd suppose the mechanism would work relatively the same for most any other ability. Yes, I see. Conventional systems of magic must not exist here, this is the realm of souls after all. If belief is what makes one strong... motherfucker. I should've been the one to kill the heart. Note to self, observe John for changes of any kind.
...perhaps this is linked to what I was doing with the plant. Greater numbers of ... FAITHFUL leads to greater powers, no doubt. Almost a self-perpetuating cycle if you can control your story enough. Which means attempts like lifting a pebble are meaningless, one requires grandiose displays to achieve anything.
...I recall something."


Go find the Engine Spirit.

"Engine Spirit. I recall you said you were created by someone, but not who exactly. Who was it that made you?"
