Did I send you a pm last turn, DG?

"A dangerous weapon, indeed..."

Having the sword finally identified (hint for others: Severing) and getting another boon from miscast, Ao was quite content with himself and wondered for a while on his next course of action. Deciding that learning is a vital part of broading ones options, he decided to stay in the library for a bit.

Study other books present, knowledge is always important. 4 essences, as per usual.

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

I will be having exams over most of next month. During this time, updates will be irregular, if they happen at all. Today's update will be falling victim to the situation, though I hope to be able to put out at least one update this week.

Cast a spell to create a small bottle for containing shrunk fluids, which is brittle enough that it will probably shatter if thrown but can still be carried safely.

Turn 250

Back out of the cave. Check to see if the wolf follows me.

{The wolf is between you and the exit}

((The aspiring Dark Lord approves of this turn's title.))

Continue the ritual, shooting 2[+1POT], [chaotic +2/+2], [chaotic +2/+1], [+1CMP] into the power stream.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Redrum continued pouring power into the ritual, the flow steady and strong, and soon began seeing some results. Shadows cast by the ritual began twisting towards gravestones and the hydra. It lacked power still, but it would be there soon. Far sooner than the ritual sacrifices would burn out, or so Redrum hoped as one of them decayed into dust.

Increase the chance Skelliborn's spell goes correctly and is correctly temporally targeted (+2/+1 essence, 2 +1/+2 essences, and a +1 POT essence). Then, flicker through the mage-seeing orb to look at any nearby mages or those with the correct affinities to influence a sword in that manner.

{Did you mean a +1CMP essence? Since others add up to +4/+5}

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There really aren't all that many mages who would be able to turn a sword into food, so it doesn't take much to find them all. Gloomy is an obvious candidate, with his ability to wrangle curses. It could also be done with summoning magic, so James and Jase are somewhat suspect. Surg, Ilium, Urghe-Ongho and Ao had unknown affinities, which made them possible candidates. The problem was, none of them were close. Maybe the magic in the ruby spikes was good for more than burning?

Also, since I was reminded, Skeliborn's/star2wars3 sword Vortex Bane has turned into a baguette.
((Does the sword not get its own endurance/ whatever the magic resist equivalence is roll? I mean I thought I enchanted it to make it nearly impossible to enchant without my say so.

I mean if not let me just say this, I am going to make whoever made this happen turn my sword back or else stuff my magic baguette down their throat. (P.S.) Magic Wand (In English) = Magic Baguette (In French)

Edit 1: Gloomier, was this you? You've been shadow running at least for the past turn or two and your last known location is definitely close enough that you could get in range. I don't want to wrongly accuse you of anything but my sword wasn't a bread stick until after the pms were dealt with from what I can tell and this kind of seems like some sort of curse.

Edit 2:
Summon Vortex Bane From The Past

5 blade essences +1/+1


Spoiler (click to show/hide)

*Somewhere five seconds to the left from the past*

Skeliborn raised his blade, the trusty Vortex bane, and braced himself against the oncoming squad of skeletons. A bolt of fire flew towards him and he moved to parry. To his great surprise, the firebolt struck him dead in the chest, and his eyes saw the sword being whisked away through a portal, its magic resistance overcome by the spell. Then the skeletons were upon him, slashing him with the blades he had carried here.

*Back in local reality*

Skeliborn looked over Vortex Bane. It was just like he remembered it, all the runes in their place. Though there was some angry screaming as the portal to infinity closed, possibly due to some temporal shenanigans. Better not do this too much.

Threeee essencesss...Wander the tower.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Magus decided that a walk was in order so that he wouldn't start growing moss. It was just something that most of the competent mages shared, that lack of ability to stay put and do nothing for fifteen minutes. His wandering brought Magus to what appeared to be an observatory, with a telescope readied and pointed towards the night sky. Which was slightly strange, as it was definitely day outside, as a window in a corridor showed.

Open the chest with my protective glass gauntlet. Be careful in case it's a mimic.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

James was somewhat cautious of a clearly demonic chest, and thus chose to poke it while wearing protective gloves. The chest flipped open, and from it poured black smoke, smelling strongly of sulfur. Within the smoke, a faint glow could be seen. James reached out towards that glow and grabbed onto it. Suddenly the smoke disappeared, but not entirely. It was still visible faintly, but James could see through it easily. James released what he had grabbed to look at the chest more intently and the smoke returned. What he had found here was a torch of blacklight, an artifact that endlessly produced a one way smokescreen, provided you held it.

"A dangerous weapon, indeed..."

Having the sword finally identified (hint for others: Severing) and getting another boon from miscast, Ao was quite content with himself and wondered for a while on his next course of action. Deciding that learning is a vital part of broading ones options, he decided to stay in the library for a bit.

Study other books present, knowledge is always important. 4 essences, as per usual.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Fascinated by the expansive bookshelves Ao decided to spend some time in the library. There surely were many interesting books here with all kinds of useful esoteric knowledge. For example, there was a book about making sculptures out of moonlight. Alas, few chapters in, Ao recognized that it was all just fantasy. At least it was a fun read.

Cast a spell to create a small bottle for containing shrunk fluids, which is brittle enough that it will probably shatter if thrown but can still be carried safely.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Chorkinaan conjured a somewhat fragile bottle filled with concentrated poison. It was a small bottle, but the thing about most poisons was that you didn't need more than a drop. It fit well enough in a pocket and it shouldn't randomly break surrounded by cloth.

Make 2 essences and resume exploring the tower with the phoenix, shovel and birds continue with the removal of mud

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Seva ventured in a nearby room while his created minions worked. There were some strange looking white logs floating in the mud, which Seva decided to inspect by poking one. It didn't move and it felt like some sort of stone, so Seva decided that it was safe enough and went to inspect the cupboards. The first cupboards were disappointingly empty, but there was still surprise to be had when Seva turned to inspect another one and noticed movement on the edge of his vision. One of the stone logs had risen from the mud, revealing that it was actually a golem alligator. Other logs were beginning to fidget as well.

Try going around the wolf.

If that doesn't work, send my bladeswarm at it.

If it does, move away from the cave.

star2wars3, I'm in your general area and I think I have an idea on how to un-baguettify your sword (dagger? I forget). Are you interested?
