Fria - HT : 0:00 - 0:55

…using wend ways so they are blue-colded and are surprised to find out they are undead. They tell a story about being very hungry in a room below and just escaping. Party agreed to help them to be resurrected and the fell bog raiders agreed not to be evil as they weren't originally.

The fell bog rangers, who was looking for them? You were asked to follow the instructions. Yep, his brother is looking for Baldur so he'll be pleased.

The other has a lift with a painted door and keyhole that nothing goes nowhere.

Jestix - TE : 0:56 - 0:58

Ah, yes, that's where we got to.

Fria - HT : 0:58 - 1:49

Amundsen says it's like a keyed transport circle. It's a destination, it's the failsafe destination for a teleport pod. And there is a teleport circle elsewhere in the party find cool medication room which gives you plus one skill bonus for each quarter of an hour you spend in it.

But that's indefinite.

Jestix - TE : 1:50 - 1:58

You have to make a save and you have to do your int check while in the room. If you leave the room it goes.

Fria - HT : 1:59 - 2:32

Oh, okay, that's pretty useful. If you do a knowledge skill, for example. Yes.

Okay, next to that is a city in a glass dome. With a book you can ask all sorts of questions. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

They ask questions. Some more will fill that in later. There are old pages of questions in the main room.

One of them is the universal best brownie recipe.

Jestix - TE : 2:34 - 2:37

Which reminds me, I saw…

Fria - HT : 2:37 - 2:39

The angel runs to make some.

Jestix - TE : 2:41 - 3:09

I've got to get the right name of the company here. Just a second. The Simon Howie Haggis company are doing a special Haggis for this year.

Or for this month. But you have to go to Scotland to buy it. It's a chocolate Haggis.

Fria - HT : 3:11 - 3:20

If it didn't exist, you'd have to invent it. A bit like the onion bargey scotch egg.

Jestix - TE : 3:21 - 3:33

Well, no, this is specifically designed. It's basically chocolate fudge. Chocolate brownie with white chocolate chips.

So you can serve it hot as a dessert. Fabulous stuff.

Fria - HT : 3:35 - 3:36

Sounds like it's hard, actually.

GM - DF : 3:38 - 3:41

Oh, thing to plug in is there.

Fria - HT : 3:42 - 4:00

There are masks in Lysander's bedroom.

Has a cool bed and masks. The master table, my friend, as she says, they're like, they are worth like 31,000 gold pieces. Yes, well, that would be a good score.

Even if it's, it'd be nice to just have some treasure.

Jestix - TE : 4:01 - 4:12

Because the bed is very, very comfortable. But too big for you to possibly get out. But we did think you may decide to bring your bath here.

Fria - HT : 4:16 - 4:21

It could be fun, couldn't it?

Jestix - TE : 4:24 - 4:46

And we did find the key for the key in the room. Room in this corner here has got a keyhole, which you looked at studiously and decided that it's fake. But it's not.

No.

Wulf - PB : 4:50 - 4:50

No.

Jestix - TE : 4:51 - 4:58

Well, we found a key that goes into it, having asked the City of Knowledge about it.

Wulf - PB : 5:10 - 5:20

The City of Knowledge is going to come up with a couple of answers to some questions. Have they had time to… James, you ready to plug in yet?

Jestix - TE : 5:22 - 5:25

Well, there's a whole list of questions that Dave has to answer.

Fria - HT : 5:27 - 5:30

Yeah, I don't have a list of them, but I can take some notes.

GM - DF : 5:31 - 5:32

Okay, 15 minutes. Go on, get on with it.

Jestix - TE : 5:35 - 5:38

If he did disturb him all the time, he'd get it done by now.

GM - DF : 5:42 - 5:48

They don't know what, he doesn't listen to you. Get on with it, James. Okay. I just want to know.

Fria - HT : 5:48 - 5:56

Yeah, so the huge dragon eye, I remember. Oh, isn't it?

Yeah. Then we discovered some more rooms and things.

Jestix - TE : 5:56 - 6:04

We also discovered that Titan Slayer was converted into the abomination by Lysandra.

Fria - HT : 6:06 - 6:24

So Lysandra basically said how she stopped Titan Slayer from worrying about living or dying forever. By basically just making him into an abomination. That's fantastic stuff. Don't upset your party mage.

Jestix - TE : 6:25 - 6:28

Well, they're all party mages, that's the point. The mage is four.

Fria - HT : 6:30 - 6:36

They all upset each other. Dangerous implosion.

Jestix - TE : 6:38 - 7:04

But she took exception to his efforts to become immortal via A, not becoming a lich, and playing around with mummies and other things. Decided it was a dangerous path he was on. Like everybody else seems to have decided.

She just got there first.

Fria - HT : 7:04 - 7:08

Did you ever resolve the killing Titan Slayer with Titan Slayer?

Jestix - TE : 7:08 - 7:12

No. Dave didn't respond to that apart from going, fur players.

Fria - HT : 7:14 - 7:21

That seems perfectly fair. I think that's a good response, Dave. Doesn't take any more than that.

Jestix - TE : 7:22 - 7:34

But he's had two weeks now to think about it. Three weeks, possibly. Along with the other questions like how did the bog rangers use the…

GM - DF : 7:35 - 7:57

So Titan Slayer has now given you the following power. As a free action, if you spend a fifth of a spell, you can do a free move action and a full action. You understand?

Jestix - TE : 7:59 - 8:01

I do. I'm just gonna…

Wulf - PB : 8:02 - 8:05

Did he get free full actions around then?

GM - DF : 8:05 - 8:18

No. If he writes off a fifth level spell, you can do an extra move action. And a full action.

Fria - HT : 8:18 - 8:23

So you can do your full action, so you can do things like move up to an enemy and then do a full attack.

Wulf - PB : 8:24 - 8:24

Okay.

Fria - HT : 8:25 - 8:34

And is there any limit of how many spells you can spend in sequence? Could you…

GM - DF : 8:34 - 8:35

One a round.

Fria - HT : 8:36 - 8:45

One a round. But could you cast this in that round and chain them together? So you get five free moves followed by a full action.

GM - DF : 8:47 - 8:50

If he wants to spend five fifth level spells. Yeah.

Jestix - TE : 8:51 - 8:52

I don't have five fifth level spells.

Fria - HT : 8:53 - 8:59

You see my theory. You could run a hell of a long way.

GM - DF : 8:59 - 9:13

Well, no. No, if you were to spend… This is not appropriate to you yet, but if you were to spend a sixth level spell, you get an additional free action. So an additional full action.

Jestix - TE : 9:15 - 9:15

Ah, I…

Ahum-Stut - JF : 9:15 - 9:17

How is that not appropriate to us?

Jestix - TE : 9:17 - 9:19

Because I haven't got any sixth level spells yet.

GM - DF : 9:19 - 9:19

Because you haven't got any.

Fria - HT : 9:20 - 9:20

Who?

Jestix - TE : 9:21 - 9:21

Me.

GM - DF : 9:23 - 9:31

This is a tight slayer. This is… We're talking about what Titan Slayer staff gives jestix.

Ahum-Stut - JF : 9:32 - 9:32

Ah, right.

GM - DF : 9:34 - 9:38

Not you. You're just looking for things that you could do that with, aren't you?

Ahum-Stut - JF : 9:38 - 9:38

Yes.

GM - DF : 9:38 - 9:41

Yes, because they listen to half the conversation.

Jestix - TE : 9:41 - 9:45

But you've now given me an incentive to put some more levels into Druid.

GM - DF : 9:46 - 9:55

Yes. You perceive that that's the path to actually getting to what Titan Slayer could do.

Jestix - TE : 9:59 - 10:01

Yep, seems reasonable enough.

GM - DF : 10:02 - 10:08

Yeah. I mean, at the moment, this only works for one action. You will have to find out how you can extend that.

Fria - HT : 10:09 - 10:11

Just imagine having repeat spell as a…

GM - DF : 10:12 - 10:15

Well, no, because Titan Slayer could do this all the time.

Jestix - TE : 10:15 - 10:16

Yes.

Fria - HT : 10:16 - 10:26

Yeah. There. I should kill him.

GM - DF : 10:27 - 10:28

So there's the answer to that question.

Jestix - TE : 10:29 - 10:29

Thank you.

Fria - HT : 10:29 - 10:35

Next question.

Dave, how come you're such a great DM?

Wulf - PB : 10:40 - 10:42

You've got a bit of brown on your nose now.

Fria - HT : 10:47 - 10:49

Howard just said, how come you're such a great DM?

GM - DF : 10:50 - 10:52

Commenting about Howard's brown nose.

Fria - HT : 10:56 - 10:57

Yeah.

GM - DF : 10:57 - 10:59

It's not his absurd brown nose.

Fria - HT : 10:59 - 11:00

I was like, blew it up there.

GM - DF : 11:04 - 11:15

You've got your tongue so far up, so would your brown nose. You've not heard that term before?

Ahum-Stut - JF : 11:16 - 11:19

No. I'll have him back on.

Jestix - TE : 11:23 - 11:32

You need to show the episodes of the New Statesman, not of… What's that with mail? Yeah, New Statesman.

Wulf - PB : 11:32 - 11:33

New Statesman.

Jestix - TE : 11:33 - 11:37

I thought, no, that's a magazine.

Fria - HT : 11:41 - 11:44

Yes, it is Alibastar.

Jestix - TE : 11:46 - 11:47

He might be doing his work.

Wulf - PB : 11:51 - 11:58

You were going to answer a question about why they couldn't tell us the answers that they couldn't tell us.

GM - DF : 11:59 - 12:00

So for what?

Wulf - PB : 12:01 - 12:12

We asked some questions, and he said that information isn't available, or something like that.

So I asked, why isn't that information available? Why can you, who initially did the SR for everything, not tell us?

GM - DF : 12:13 - 12:13

Oh, OK.

Wulf - PB : 12:17 - 12:19

I can't quite remember what it was that they couldn't answer, though.

Jestix - TE : 12:20 - 12:28

No, I can't remember either now. I don't know. We've seen the recording.

I just haven't gone back and listened to it. I meant to.

Wulf - PB : 12:29 - 12:31

Something to do with possibly the Major's fault?

GM - DF : 12:32 - 13:07

No, no, no. You asked a question about what happened to the Major's fault. I do have an answer to that. But the question of why they couldn't answer… Without you reminding me what the specific question was. But their Augury powers are not… They can't get past every protection wall.

Wulf - PB : 13:12 - 13:15

So some powerful protection will stop their Augury.

GM - DF : 13:15 - 13:43

Yeah, that sort of thing, yeah. OK. OK, so you asked about what happened to the Major's fault individually. OK. Shakun's fighting slayer was attempted to become immortal by becoming some swarm-like aberration. Lysander…

Jestix - TE : 13:44 - 13:49

Ah, you asked whether Lysander was the Bint.

Wulf - PB : 13:51 - 13:51

Yes.

Fria - HT : 13:51 - 13:52

The Bint?

GM - DF : 13:52 - 13:54

Yes, and I think I answered that.

Jestix - TE : 13:54 - 13:55

All right.

Fria - HT : 13:55 - 13:57

Which Bint?

Jestix - TE : 13:58 - 14:01

Lady Ruage, who's been doing nasty things.

GM - DF : 14:02 - 14:03

Deidre, yeah.

Wulf - PB : 14:04 - 14:06

And what was the answer to that one?

Jestix - TE : 14:06 - 14:07

No.

Fria - HT : 14:07 - 14:07

No.

Wulf - PB : 14:08 - 14:08

OK.

GM - DF : 14:10 - 14:25

So, Lysander disturbed the ritual deliberately to stop it happening. Trapping him as a mindless creature, and she then…

Jestix - TE : 14:25 - 14:26

Stuck him in a hole.

GM - DF : 14:26 - 14:28

Locked him in a passwall, or whatever it's called.

Wulf - PB : 14:29 - 14:30

A phase wall.

GM - DF : 14:30 - 14:42

A phase wall, yeah. Lysander is now the Queen of the Vampires in the city of Tarsis.

Jestix - TE : 14:43 - 14:43

Oh!

Wulf - PB : 14:49 - 14:51

Do we know where is Tarsis?

GM - DF : 14:52 - 14:55

I believe it's on the map. On the very, very west.

Jestix - TE : 14:55 - 15:04

A very, very, very long way away, I hope. Because she's just your sort of person.

Wulf - PB : 15:06 - 15:08

I don't know what you're sort of talking about here.

GM - DF : 15:09 - 15:10

Is that Tarsis, or Tarsinex?

Fria - HT : 15:11 - 15:12

OK. So that's two.

GM - DF : 15:16 - 15:45

Yes. Cabal is currently on another plane. Waiting for a confluence. Yeah, coming together of certain planes so he can transcend.

Jestix - TE : 15:53 - 15:54

That's boring.

Fria - HT : 15:54 - 15:57

We could be waiting millennia for that. Or until…

Jestix - TE : 15:57 - 15:57

Conjunction.

GM - DF : 15:58 - 16:00

Conjunction's the one. But that's that.

Fria - HT : 16:04 - 16:06

Confluence nearly is good.

Yeah. OK, that's Cabal.

Wulf - PB : 16:08 - 16:10

That's plane Weaver, or whatever his name is, yeah?

Fria - HT : 16:11 - 16:11

Yeah.

GM - DF : 16:14 - 16:15

No, World Weaver.

Fria - HT : 16:15 - 16:17

Fabian World Weaver.

GM - DF : 16:17 - 16:47

Is currently, I think, on level 18. Currently on level 18. And is now living as a multi-entity called the Greater Thebian. Endeavouring to become Prime Thebian.

Jestix - TE : 16:51 - 16:54

So he was, if only, Prime Thebian and then split into multiple classes.

GM - DF : 16:54 - 17:03

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's worse than that. I'm not answering the question, but it's worse than that.

Jestix - TE : 17:08 - 17:11

Well, it's only a couple of levels away, we'll find out.

GM - DF : 17:11 - 17:17

Yeah, on level 18, currently he's become Great Ophidian and he's aiming to become Prime Ophidian.

Wulf - PB : 17:20 - 17:23

Whatever that means.

Fria - HT : 17:29 - 17:31

Well, that's four, at least we know.

Jestix - TE : 17:35 - 17:36

And there's no reason to.

Fria - HT : 17:36 - 17:39

Is there another question? I can't remember now if there was another question.

Jestix - TE : 17:39 - 17:46

We asked how did the Bob Raiders or whatever…

Fria - HT : 17:47 - 17:47

Telephone Ranger.

GM - DF : 17:48 - 17:49

Oh, that was them, wasn't it?

Jestix - TE : 17:49 - 17:49

Yes.

GM - DF : 17:50 - 17:53

You asked them how they could do the…

Fria - HT : 17:53 - 17:54

Wend-a-ways.

GM - DF : 17:54 - 18:24

Wend-a-ways. There's a spell you can learn which will allow you to access it like teleport. They say they will teach you if you assist their resurrecting. They also say that the genie… I can't remember his name now, but you might have it in your notes.

Fria - HT : 18:25 - 18:26

I do have it in notes.

GM - DF : 18:27 - 18:44

He could do it with his carpets. And some people who have become on their way to Godhood through the arches can walk on to.

Fria - HT : 18:47 - 18:48

Tal Farrar.

GM - DF : 18:48 - 18:53

Yeah, I think that's him. You have a carpet up here, if I remember rightly.

Jestix - TE : 18:54 - 18:55

Or half a carpet.

Wulf - PB : 18:56 - 18:57

Well, it's got a bit of carpet, yeah.

GM - DF : 18:58 - 18:59

That's right, you've got part of it.

Jestix - TE : 19:02 - 19:10

So with all of it we could get on the Wending Way, if we only knew where the other half was. Why don't we ask the sphere?

Specifically, where the other half of the carpet is.

Wulf - PB : 19:11 - 19:12

You mean the rest of the carpet?

Jestix - TE : 19:13 - 19:13

Yes.

Wulf - PB : 19:15 - 19:16

Don't do it.

GM - DF : 19:17 - 19:20

OK. By the way, this is taking time, so I'm clocking the time up.

Wulf - PB : 19:21 - 19:28

All right. Who brings out his carpet? See this carpet, right?

Jestix - TE : 19:32 - 19:33

Wave it in the sky above them.

GM - DF : 19:33 - 19:36

Do you actually write a message?

Wulf - PB : 19:37 - 19:51

What do you actually write? I will describe the carpet that I have in my hand. Is it sufficient to use the Wending Way with it? Or do I need more?

GM - DF : 19:52 - 19:53

Do you remember if you've got a colour?

Fria - HT : 19:55 - 19:55

Blue.

Wulf - PB : 19:55 - 19:56

Blue, yeah.

GM - DF : 20:04 - 20:22

It will respond back, and unfortunately I cannot off the top of my head give you the correct answer. But there are another two parts of different colours. The first one is on level 5.

Fria - HT : 20:23 - 20:24

We missed it.

GM - DF : 20:25 - 20:36

And another one is on demon level. And we'll verify that.

Wulf - PB : 20:37 - 20:41

Where did Wolf pick up this one from? His own palace?

Fria - HT : 20:42 - 21:00

Hang on. I'm just noting down. Give me a second.

Just finding this towel for rare again.

GM - DF : 21:01 - 21:05

An int roll from? Oh, int plus 11.

Jestix - TE : 21:06 - 21:18

You can stand in the concentration room and get a better mod. But admittedly you do have to make a number of saving throws to get it, which might drive you mad.

Wulf - PB : 21:18 - 21:24

Yes, I will skip that. 32.

GM - DF : 21:26 - 21:41

It's come back to you that when you were on the lab level, you did come across a carpet in a room, a concealed room, of which you could move only millimetres, and then in the end you decided to leave it there.

Fria - HT : 21:42 - 21:44

Yes, I remember that.

Wulf - PB : 21:45 - 21:46

What?

Fria - HT : 21:47 - 22:18

That was very frank. Session 120, no, lab level. I can search for every instance of the word carpet, but there's quite a few of those.

Wulf - PB : 22:21 - 22:30

OK, so I'm looking at level 5, I think. What's the one with the ring of electricity going round it?

GM - DF : 22:30 - 22:31

That's the one.

Wulf - PB : 22:31 - 22:35

So whereabouts in that one did we think this carpet was?

GM - DF : 22:38 - 22:56

I think… I'm not going to look at it now. I was sure it was that one.

Wulf - PB : 22:59 - 23:10

No, you might be right. A while back, I can't remember if everything was up there. Each of you went there to the ice tomb, didn't you? It was up there.

Fria - HT : 23:28 - 23:47

OK, a white and blue carpet lies on the floor in front of the inscription, under the piece of paper. It was on the ghost… the one where we had to find the ghost door?

Wulf - PB : 23:51 - 23:52

The room number, I think.

Fria - HT : 23:52 - 23:59

Oh, no, hang on. No, that's another one. That was just a white and blue carpet.

Give me a second.

GM - DF : 23:59 - 24:10

Yeah, it's this room, 1… There was a weird door here which…

Fria - HT : 24:11 - 24:14

You found a secret door into the room.

Wulf - PB : 24:15 - 24:25

Yeah. We went into 118, didn't we? Sorry? We went into 118, didn't we?

GM - DF : 24:26 - 24:26

Yes.

Fria - HT : 24:27 - 24:55

Yeah, and we could rotate it and lift it vertically, but it can't be moved in any other plane. I think. We tried for a long time.

After moving it five feet, it becomes extremely heavy. We tried to clean it. Everyone removed the transfix for the whirling pattern in the room 118.

Lomaril removes fria and wulf transfix by the mesmeretic pattern.

Jestix - TE : 24:58 - 25:01

But if you get the other pieces…

Bjarni - PN : 25:01 - 25:02

It might join.

Jestix - TE : 25:03 - 25:05

It joins up, and you might then be able to take it out of the room.

Wulf - PB : 25:07 - 25:08

Maybe.

Fria - HT : 25:09 - 25:10

Well worth a try.

Wulf - PB : 25:11 - 25:15

So that was on level 5, and the other one was on the demon level, which is what, level 6?

Jestix - TE : 25:20 - 25:20

7.

Wulf - PB : 25:20 - 25:27

But I don't recall seeing it on the level 7, no?

GM - DF : 25:28 - 25:30

You don't remember a carpet on level 7?

Jestix - TE : 25:30 - 25:39

Aha. Well, we know we've definitely missed a thing, because there's a hole in the map.

Fria - HT : 25:39 - 25:45

211. Might have a carpet in it. Protected by tendrils on one side.

Jestix - TE : 25:47 - 25:56

Well, it was covered in tendrils. That's easy to remember. Which is why we didn't go in there.

Because we were a bunch of wimps and cowards.

Wulf - PB : 26:00 - 26:04

We should play that one a minute. It's not part of the sample, so we can wonder that.

Fria - HT : 26:04 - 26:16

Yeah, it's very easy to get down to that level. And we can go and tidy up the temple a bit. Make sure no one's despoiling it again.

Wulf - PB : 26:18 - 26:25

Yeah. What have we decided we're going to do about the demon encroachment of that level?

Jestix - TE : 26:28 - 26:34

Well, I think we're getting to the point now where possibly a limited wish might have an effect.

Fria - HT : 26:36 - 26:36

Yep.

Jestix - TE : 26:38 - 26:41

I wish this portal was on some other plane.

Fria - HT : 26:46 - 26:48

I wish this portal kills all the demons who come through it.

GM - DF : 26:49 - 26:55

I feel the limited wishes are not good enough for what wishes are for that. I think we've got to double check.

Wulf - PB : 26:56 - 27:18

Yeah. It might do it for a short while, but not forever. So, if I remember correctly, what you were saying, Dave, is that the demon scourge on that level is worse because things keep coming through, and sort of like the abyss keeps…

Jestix - TE : 27:18 - 27:20

Leaking in.

Wulf - PB : 27:20 - 27:27

Leaking through, yeah. So, to get rid of that, we've got to stop the things coming through.

GM - DF : 27:28 - 27:33

Well, if you do that, eventually the portion of the gate itself will just dissipate.

Jestix - TE : 27:34 - 27:38

It's the act of demons coming through it which are keeping it alive.

GM - DF : 27:39 - 27:39

Yep.

Jestix - TE : 27:42 - 27:49

But it's how do you stop demons coming through when they are generally quite powerful and can dispel things that get in their way?

Wulf - PB : 27:50 - 28:01

We could use the book to summon something vaguely powerful to guard the gate and give it some treasure. We'd ask it to do that for a period of time.

Bjarni - PN : 28:04 - 28:04

You could leave me there.

Wulf - PB : 28:05 - 28:11

Well, yes, but then you won't be able to enjoy the horrifying death traps on lower levels.

Bjarni - PN : 28:16 - 28:27

Bjarni being there and chopping up demons for a few months might have a significant effect. Are you sure? It would be a very paladinic thing to do.

Wulf - PB : 28:28 - 28:29

True.

Bjarni - PN : 28:30 - 28:34

And then there's always Robin who can help you with the death traps.

Jestix - TE : 28:36 - 28:44

But we don't know there's death traps on… We know there's a death trap on level 20, but I don't think Robin's particularly any better at that death trap than the rest of us.

Bjarni - PN : 28:45 - 28:49

I always want you to try backstabbing from inside a gut.

Jestix - TE : 28:53 - 28:56

At least you won't see it coming.

Bjarni - PN : 28:57 - 28:58

That's true.

Wulf - PB : 29:03 - 29:04

Well, that's something to think about.

Bjarni - PN : 29:07 - 29:16

It's a legitimate proposition. Bjarni would not be…

Fria - HT : 29:20 - 29:21

Adverse.

Bjarni - PN : 29:22 - 29:26

No, I'm just thinking rescuing the moon goddess is, of course…

Jestix - TE : 29:26 - 29:35

More important. And unfortunately that means getting down to 20 and either killing or convincing Metarack to give you the tablecloth.

Wulf - PB : 29:36 - 29:37

I hope she'll beat me.

Jestix - TE : 29:45 - 29:51

No, but there is an interesting… I'm not sure… How long does Wall of Force last?

Wulf - PB : 29:53 - 29:53

Around?

GM - DF : 29:54 - 29:54

Around.

Bjarni - PN : 29:57 - 29:58

You can.

Jestix - TE : 29:58 - 30:01

Wall of Force and permanency?

Bjarni - PN : 30:02 - 30:04

I think you can do it with a permanency.

Wulf - PB : 30:06 - 30:06

Possibly.

Jestix - TE : 30:08 - 30:11

So how much does a permanency scroll cast cost?

Wulf - PB : 30:12 - 30:15

Well, it depends on at whom you cast it.

GM - DF : 30:18 - 30:21

I'm not sure… I don't think he has learnt it.

Jestix - TE : 30:22 - 30:26

No, it's not narrow, it's just whether he can learn it. And what does it cost him?

GM - DF : 30:28 - 30:30

I don't know, he's… James has disappeared.

Jestix - TE : 30:32 - 30:33

You trimmed him away when you were hectoring.

Bjarni - PN : 30:33 - 30:36

It cost him two and a half thousand XP.

GM - DF : 30:38 - 30:47

What are you doing, James? What? I thought you were finishing this thing.

Jestix - TE : 30:51 - 30:53

He's moved on to something less interesting.

Wulf - PB : 30:57 - 31:02

You've got to be 13th level, so I don't know quite what spellcast you're doing, James.

GM - DF : 31:02 - 31:04

Do you have permanent permanency in the spell?

Ahum-Stut - JF : 31:04 - 31:06

I do. Do you what?

Wulf - PB : 31:08 - 31:11

Do we have Wall of Force? Can anybody tell us that?

GM - DF : 31:11 - 31:13

Do you have Wall of Force?

Ahum-Stut - JF : 31:13 - 31:14

I do.

Bjarni - PN : 31:17 - 31:19

Why do you need a permanency scroll cast?

GM - DF : 31:19 - 31:22

They're asking if you can do a permanent Wall of Force.

Bjarni - PN : 31:23 - 31:25

But it costs two and a half thousand XP.

Jestix - TE : 31:33 - 31:40

We don't want it now, it's just whether you can learn it and do it.

Ahum-Stut - JF : 31:44 - 31:59

I could do it if given 15 minutes from now, or any other time. So usually the permanent Wall of Force is at like 5th level. What would you need this for?

Bjarni - PN : 32:01 - 32:02

Stealing off a portal.

GM - DF : 32:04 - 32:08

They want to steal the portal on the demon level off, so demons can't come through.

Ahum-Stut - JF : 32:09 - 32:11

Yea valid

Jestix - TE : 32:21 - 32:26

Which brings us go back to my previous question, how much does a scroll of permanency cost anyway?

Wulf - PB : 32:29 - 32:31

It's the XP component.

Ahum-Stut - JF : 32:31 - 32:37

Yeah, it's the XP. 500 XP… no.

Bjarni - PN : 32:39 - 32:39

Two and a half thousand.

Ahum-Stut - JF : 32:40 - 32:43

Yeah, it's two and a half thousand. Five times XP, yeah.

Jestix - TE : 32:44 - 32:46

So seven and a half thousand.

Ahum-Stut - JF : 32:46 - 32:49

Scrolls normally cost 12k.

Jestix - TE : 32:50 - 33:03

OK, I'm going to get saving then, because I want a permanency. In fact I probably want two permanencies, but that's a lot of money.

Wulf - PB : 33:06 - 33:07

No, I don't know how much a scroll is.

Jestix - TE : 33:11 - 33:12

12,000.

Wulf - PB : 33:13 - 33:14

Is that what it says in the book?

Jestix - TE : 33:15 - 33:19

That's roughly a figure that James just quoted.

GM - DF : 33:22 - 33:27

Did he quote for a scroll, perhaps? A scroll of…

Jestix - TE : 33:27 - 33:51

…permanency. He said it's five times the XP cost. Oops, I've just been disconnected from the table.

Wulf - PB : 33:52 - 34:06

Yeah, so a scroll of permanency in… That's not good.

Fria - HT : 34:10 - 34:12

I appear to have lost everyone.

Wulf - PB : 34:13 - 34:14

No, I'm here.

Fria - HT : 34:17 - 34:26

I've lost video, though. I'm now seeing myself in huge high-res video, which is ugly. Good God, that's horrible.

Wulf - PB : 34:26 - 34:27

I can see you normally.

Bjarni - PN : 34:28 - 34:30

I can see you as well.

Wulf - PB : 34:34 - 34:37

10,125 it is for a scroll of permanency.

Jestix - TE : 34:39 - 34:44

Plus the guy's mark-up.

Wulf - PB : 34:47 - 34:54

Yeah, he was… 10,000… …or 1,020.

Jestix - TE : 34:55 - 34:58

Yeah, so it's 1,100 to 1,150.

Wulf - PB : 34:59 - 34:59

Yeah.

Jestix - TE : 35:00 - 35:03

And then you've got to clock these spells and make a turn.

Wulf - PB : 35:03 - 35:06

Presumably you want to create a magic fang here.

Jestix - TE : 35:07 - 35:11

Yes, I want two greater magic fangs. One on Henry and one on me.

Fria - HT : 35:12 - 35:14

Ah, so Dave's power has gone.

Jestix - TE : 35:15 - 35:15

Ah.

Bjarni - PN : 35:16 - 35:19

Oh, what? Power cut.

Fria - HT : 35:19 - 35:24

Yeah. We had a couple of those yesterday that curtsied the storm, but…

Wulf - PB : 35:25 - 35:26

Yeah, might as well do.

Jestix - TE : 35:26 - 35:31

I had one this morning, but I knew that was coming because it's courtesy of getting a smart key to be installed.

Fria - HT : 35:32 - 35:36

Ah, yes. Which, of course, they told you is good for you for the date.

Jestix - TE : 35:37 - 35:40

That is good for me. Oh, good.

Wulf - PB : 35:42 - 35:42

I'm glad you said that.

Fria - HT : 35:43 - 35:45

Because I can… See what you're spending.

Jestix - TE : 35:46 - 35:46

Yes.

Wulf - PB : 35:49 - 35:50

And now you're going to get depressed.

Fria - HT : 35:52 - 35:53

Yeah, how much…

Jestix - TE : 35:53 - 35:59

No, well, now I can ascertain… Well, maybe I'll turn that off more often.

Wulf - PB : 36:01 - 36:04

See how much your powers apply and you'll keep a stack in the sucking office.

Jestix - TE : 36:05 - 36:09

Oh, I know that. Because I've got a power meter on it. Ah.

Fria - HT : 36:11 - 36:29

Well, that's going to be fun. So tomorrow from about two o'clock in the afternoon, it's going to piss down for the rest of the day. Given the fact that everything is soaked, there's going to be so much flooding.

Has anyone seen the flood map, flood warning map of the UK?

Wulf - PB : 36:30 - 36:30

No.

Fria - HT : 36:32 - 36:37

I'll post a link while we're waiting for Dave. The…

Wulf - PB : 36:40 - 36:42

It's soggy around here as well.

Jestix - TE : 36:43 - 36:48

My PC and monitor are drawing about 200 watts. Wow.

Bjarni - PN : 36:51 - 37:00

Yeah, mine's pretty efficient. But then again, I'm running two PCs simultaneously, so I kind of…

Jestix - TE : 37:01 - 37:08

I'm running a second PC, but the second PC is drawing a staggering 2.5 watts.

Fria - HT : 37:09 - 37:10

Wow.

Jestix - TE : 37:12 - 37:23

It hasn't got a display or anything.

It's got a solid-state hard disk and it just sits in the corner, chugging away.

Fria - HT : 37:31 - 37:43

Yep. Everything around Dave is dark. OK, I'm just zooming out now on the map.

I'll share a screenshot in a second. Oh, there you go.

Bjarni - PN : 37:54 - 37:55

I'm not flooded.

Fria - HT : 37:56 - 37:58

No, you're frozen.

Bjarni - PN : 37:58 - 37:59

I'm just surrounded by an ocean of snow.

Fria - HT : 38:02 - 38:12

Yes, I saw something that it was getting exceptionally cold in parts of Finland. Is that affecting you, or is it normally cold for you?

Bjarni - PN : 38:13 - 38:16

It's minus 36 at the moment, which is…

Fria - HT : 38:16 - 38:18

That's pretty parky.

Bjarni - PN : 38:20 - 38:27

There was, like, scaremongering earlier in the week, saying, oh, it's going to be minus 40.
