Nevill said:Now that Derryth have seen the Dream up close, does she think that The Warrior's Mask could protect one from it? A high-CON warrior like Alvis would turn into a Trow equivalent, and the spell does not kill Trow outright. That was the first thing I thought about when we were facing the Shade, but did it occur to her?
Nevill said:Why didn't the Shade blow himself up on his very own Dream? Was he that far away from his own forces?
Nevill said:Can a single spell like the Greater Fire/Energy Bolt completely drain us? Is it that powerful?
Nevill said:What was the difference between Aii and Aiii? What was a modifier we managed to obtain by hiding a trap further (and did we even get it)?
Nevill said:Was there a chance to take out Gullveig in this manner at any given moment, or it wasn't an option due to her status as a leader and her cautious nature?
Absinthe said:2D - as B, but tell them that Neel and Bari should be able to clue them in on the specifics. (Also inform them about the success of our latest trap.)
Well, you don't try these things by choice, that's for sure.Fangshi said:Yes, she is aware that it might work provided the target is strong enough. Argus would be your best bet but Myora might also be able to do it. It might be difficult to convince someone to try it though.
The reason I was asking is because of this line:Fangshi said:Casting it on your own at maximum strength might not completely exhaust you but your three mages had no way to know if there were any other traps or tricks waiting for them so it seemed prudent to them to conserve their resources.
Did you mean 'without'?The mages burnt through as many energon cubes as needed to ensure their spells would be at maximum effectiveness with fully draining them.
Whoa, really? After a definitive 'fuck the Spider Goddess' stance you are going to do live sacrifices at the demon's request? Didn't expect that one.Kz3r0 said:3. B)
Yeah, these look fine. Sign me up for them as well.Kz3r0 said:4.
Derryth's Ring: Greater Fire Bolt
Thaïs' Ring: Greater Energy Bolt

What about that business? Or do you think Derryth justifying her actions with 'it's not like I am actually killing them' is her worrying about the well-being of Shades?If you do choose to work with him though he will likely make requests every now and then. If a young noblewoman catches his eye he might ask you to send her along, that sort of thing.
I agree, besides I would like ro propose him to help us to get rid of TWM, his mind should be prize enough.I don't mind sending him people that we need to disappear, as it is no different from killing them, but I will not use up his favors in advance in exchange for sending him more people later (as it places us in his debt) and I would never, ever, take requests from him.
You see, for me there is a difference in trading an undesireable person for a reward, and getting a favor beforehand for promising him something in return later. If we don't get our catch, how are we going to pay up?I agree, besides I would like ro propose him to help us to get rid of TWM, his mind should be prize enough.
No thank you, I am fed up with being played as a pawn in political games and assisting in mass murders just so that Albrecht's crown sat a little tighter on his head. That's not to say I am going to betray him or anything - I just don't want to be used.We can also struck a deal with Albrecht, I am sure that he would have uee for an uncospicuous way to make the enemies of the crown disappear.

Nevill said:Fangshi, while we still have both eagles with us (I presume the letter from Blackrock troops have just arrived), would it be possible for us to arm both of the eagles and take a crack at one of the 'strange' wagons? Arm the rings with something that would not be enough to blast it away completely, but just enough so that its contents became clear. Would the regular firebolt and energy bolts be enough?
I do not want to risk our eagles or rings, though, so if they can't make a clear shot and run, it would be best for them to just return.
Is it possible to throw the dice on that one, or are there more factors involved and it has to be put to a vote?
I imagine they have almost no anti-air capabilities now, the Shade can't be everywhere at once, and the wagons are hard to miss.
There are about 800 bodies to choose from. Target rich environment, and all that.What can an eagle hit from 3kms into the air?
What I want are the airships that Albrecht can't yet get bothered to send us.What you'd want is a murder of crows.
Shutting up.Don't be giving the enemy ideas, Nevill...
They don't want to get near the ones that interest us most.How about operation Mole Hill? See if we can have our mice move peanut sized bits of explosives over night inside the wagons.
Nevill said:Alright. Is there anything stopping us from dropping bombs on the army? The spells have maximum range, the gravity doesn't. Who or what can hit an eagle from 3 km away?
Nevill said:How about operation Mole Hill? See if we can have our mice move peanut sized bits of explosives over night inside the wagons. They take a few days to get enough built up. We then have a rat sneak a detonator in at the end and use retrieve item to pull the pin once they are clear.
Nevill said:Fangshi Do the mice report any other vermin in the wagons? I know there is undead about but they are carting hundreds of corpses around and I would be surprised if there wasn't a ton of rats and mice feeding on the offal. If this is the case then our saboteurs would be very hard to spot.
You slip a suggestion into his mind. It takes a bit of doing but eventually it seems to sway him. He tells you that he knows absolutely nothing. His mind is strangely flat though, you can not get your hooks into it and you do not pick up any strong emotions... It is like a great and still lake... the surface a complete mirror...
*sigh* What do they want?Fangshi said:That could work certainly though the mice are going to want to renegotiate their contract if you want them to go next to those crate.
