((... Sarrak... in that last bit of your action post... are you referring to Whaz?))
((Yep. I think that he deserves at least a honorable mention, being the most successful mage of this game - in its intended form, at least. Also, it's still hilarious remembering his unique relationship with magic.))

((Absence could work too))

((Say, maybe absence of the mimic's heart? You might need some time magic to make it work, but it'd be a lot easier than trying to cast a spell on an island-sized dragon.))
Unfortunately for you, the dragon has more than twice the INT and WIS scores of Sherlock Holmes, and thus knows what you'd try to do to kill it before you do.
I don't think that's how INT and WIS work in AD&D, much less this game. :P

((Okay... so time shenanigans. I get the feeling that trying a change in the timeline that dramatic would... generate quite a bit of Paradox.))

((And good thing, too. DG has clearly spent the time to make a new map (or will be spending) and a change of scenery would be really nice. Also, with the dragon's crazy unlimited power, I'm wondering if it's possible for it to transcend the limit on its transformation. Of course, this also gives me the potential to explore a new character. Affinity ideas include Energy (Rayman anyone?) and Tunnels (ultimate dwarfiness alert! Prepare for quantum tunnel contained black hole portal madness!).

One more thing: everyone should be feeling a bit lighter about now, considering the immense mass of this dragon compared to this tiny floating island. The Moon is much less massive than the Earth, and it causes the tides. This dragon must be at least a tenth of the duck's mass, so unless there's a special gravity field keeping everything Earth-like...))

Roll to Magic Monty Python

Skeliborn: Lets go to Camelot

DreamerGhostEvilBunny: There's a giant Doomsday Dragon the size of the moon.

Skeliborn: Let's not go to Camelot. Tis a silly place.

((Oh, you haven't seen anything yet.))
((Really. I'm serious. Here's a math assignment for all the denizens of this game: thus far, I've had 4 characters(No, None, Jonas, Old King Coal). Assign a certain amount of destruction/kills/ruination a number, then tally up the number for each character. What you should see is exponential growth.))
((I haven't even told the other members of F.E.C.E.S about my plan for my next character.))
((Actually, I should PM DreamerGhost about my plan- I don't even know if it'll be valid yet.))

"The time to act is now, clearly. I wish that I had more time to prepare, but oh well. Some things never change."

Use my 5 +1/+1 Paleomancy essences. Morph myself into an http://jurassicpark.wikia.com/wiki/Indominus_rex, then get to the nearest portal and pass through it.

Since the Dragon was kinda sudden, and people are still having plans, I think I'll try to get the next turn up on Thursday. To keep some content up, I might post the new map tomorow.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

((There are 4 types of people in this game:))
((1. Those who think the dragon might be friendly (eternal optimist)))
((2. Those who think the dragon will stomp on them like an insect (eternal pessimist)))
((3. Those who know that the dragon can 1-shot them a thousand times over but stay anyway (optimistic pessimist)))
((4. Those who summoned/ created/ brought the wrath of the dragon in the first place (chaotic evil or clumsy good/neutral)))
