Caelum Does Not Visit The Library, Take Two

[Modrageball]

Trying out a different recovery-format here.

This quest ran from May 12, 2013 to May 06, 2017.

Caelum nods, raising a sleeve-covered hand, palm-up. Ghostly images begin to appear on it. "The great abandoned storehouse of knowledge and treasure known as the Library of the Lorekeepers is our goal. Despite being plundered for years, its incalculable size, peculiar layout and hidden rooms still contain a vast amount of undiscovered wealth and power. I believe previous excursions have only scratched the surface of this imposing structure. However," the now-dizzyingly complex image on the palm vanishes sideways, replaced by countless tiny versions, one above the other. "Our goal is not the Library of this timeline. With my power, we shall travel to alternate timelines to seek yet more exotic treasures, in periods where its halls have yet to be traversed by too many adventurers, in realities that may wildly diverge from ours in history."

A picture of a portal appears. "Our first hurdle shall be the gateway to its world, Rael'el. I was among the last to visit the Library of our timeline. One of my companions on that journey left, and encountered an assailant who proceeded to kill him and trap the portal with an animated Lethal Noose that turned all that passed through it into Gallowhands. Our first objective shall be to bypass this trap, disarm it, and remove the undead menace."

Assuming nothing more needs to be done, Caelum leads the merry band out of the tavern and into the majestic edifice that is the Portal Nexus, stopping outside the portal to the Library's swamp.
"I believe this was not a well-traveled portal, or a world often ventured into, save for some adventurers and certain members of the Battle Arena." He gestures towards the shimmering gate. "I have reason to believe that, unless the magic animating it has expired or another has dealt with it, the noose-trap will still be active, and the area filled with Gallowhands. Our first challenge is to pass through the portal without harm and address the undead menace."

Sword-Vashna laughs, "If you mages want to look it over first, I'll lead on in."

Caelum bows to the swordsman-copy of Vashna. "Please do."

------------------------------

First, some preparations: Caelum creates five Scanning Eyes and uses a Memory Stone to switch the spell for Summon, calling up a Great Tengu to stick Serenity on himself, Emmanuel, Sword-Vashna, Irastor and Wallace. He then thanks it, politely dismisses it and calls up a fresh one.

Emmanuel calls in a Lesser Treant and Fruit Dragon.

Caelum hands copies of Open Gate To Nexus: Top Disc and Open Gate to Standard Timeline to both Sword-Vashna and Irastor.

Before Sword-Vashna enters the portal, Caelum pulls a tome from the folds of his robes, declares "The Tale of Sword-Vashna, otherwise known as Zweirugi," and opens it to see if they're about to step into an extremely bad situation.

Brought Via Armed To The Gills (carried on his person, shield over the flag on the back, sword also at his waist):

Also brought along, hooked to the other side of his belt to balance the two swords (he's inside himself):
Bag of Holding (2)- (Accessory, Container, Magic, 6,000,000 Gold) Wielder may bring 30 additional unequipped items into battle
(Three more of these are brought and handed off to Caelum, Wallace and Irastor)

In said bag:
Goggles of Temporal Vision- (Accessory, Eyewear. Time, 9,550,000 Gold) Wearer may not be forced by sources below Level 60 to treat the current round's number as a number that wearer would not otherwise treat it as, Has RP effects
Predict Strike- (Spell, Divining, Time, 16,000 MP, 7,900,000 Gold) Caster's next Melee Attack action, if it has a chance to not miss and is targetting only individuals below Level 60, does not miss

If the portal looks legit, Zweirugi is going to crack a wry smile and enter. He'll be holding his blades next to his neck in an awkward guard to try and catch any nooses. (Otherwise relying on nowhere-body to bail him out)

"I'll signal when I'm through if I can," He heads through the portal! (I'll hold back if Caelum's reading is particularly poor)

Extra note:
Irastor has these, too:

Elder Symbol of Repeated Casting- (Accessory, Other: Elder Symbol, Sonic & Magic, 36,000,000 Gold) Spells that wielder has previously cast during this thread cost wielder 360,000 less MP to cast
Emblem of Magi- (Accessory, Other: Elder Symbol, Magic, 36,000,000 Gold) +18,000 Magical Attack, +36,000 MIN, +36,000 SPI, +300,000 MP as a non-stacking bonus, 30% Magic Resistance, 5% Mystic Resistance, Spells cost wielder 300,000 less MP to cast as a non-stacking bonus

Open Gate to Standard Timeline- (Spell, Gate Magic, Time, 5,000 MP, 160,000 Gold) Has RP effects, Permits escape from random quests at the start of the round after it is cast

Irastor indeed does. He can't seem to quite grok the use of the Elder Symbols, but is going to try to figure them out over time. The plumes are being carried in some sort of weird man-purse that he borrowed from Balko. He's wearing the cloak.

He's also now level 30 and has added the Orb Seals of Life and Illusion to his repetoire. (Total Orb Seals: 8- Physical, Fire, Air, Darkness, Wood, Metal, Life, Illusion)

[Modrageball]

Zwei steps through, auto-dodges the noose readied for him, and sees both a large leonine mech with a noose around its neck and a burly man with a noose around his neck moving towards him in really slow motion. There's 28 other noose-undead around.

(Crud, I didn't update these stats)

Zwei laughs, "Useless, Useless, Useless!"

He will proceed to try to swiftly massacre them, using a mix of Throw Sword along with the Bracers, followed by Lunging Slash to jump from target to target reclaiming his namesake weapon and avoid getting piled up on.

If they prove more difficult that he expects, he'll switch tactics.

Key note: Does he have Vashna's memories? If he does, he'll specifically not cut up the mech and burly man's corpses, but just the nooses.

Zwei moves like the wind and strikes like an owl in the night.

The gallowdead are, in fact, quite useless. They go down easily, with Zweirugi managing to slice up every single body (and/or noose) present before they get an attack in.

Heracles and the Leodranthis have their corpses drop to the ground.

Zweirugi gets-

Noose-Cutter- (Technique Ability, Swordsman) Possessor may use 'Noose-Cutter' in conjunction with a 'Melee Attack' or 'Ranged Attack' action if possessor has a Sword equipped. Said action detransforms target individual that has been transformed into a 'Gallowhand' from the Enemy List that is below Level 40 that were transformed into their current state by entities named 'Gallowhand' from the enemy list that are below Level 40.
10 times the XP of a Level 8 entity.
10 times the XP of a Level 11 entity.
XP for 28 gallowhands.

Zweirugi will give a brief attempt to see what he can salvage from the essences of the PC corpses. Using some of the raw XP he just picked up to stabilize things if worth a shot.

Regardless, he'll duck out to wave the others on into the portal.

Zwei spends 5,000 XP and manages to stabilize:

Heracles (The Battle Arena Member)'s Right Arm- (Item, Antiquity, Physical, 150,000 Gold)
Heracles (The Battle Arena Member)'s Head- (Item, Antiquity, Physical & Darkness, 150,000 Gold)
Leodranthis Circuitry- (Item, Antiquity, Technology, 150,000 Gold)
Nude Battle Mastery- (Passive Ability, Warrior) Possessor obtains +250 Melee Attack if possessor's only piece of equipped equipment is a single Weapon

Zwei ducks out and waves the others through.

4:49:07 PMCaelzeph I'm trying to, I really am. My computer-browser refuses to go to any page/post anything, and my phone browser has just locked itself up.
4:49:23 PMme someone can post for you
4:49:30 PMme if you pass it through here
4:49:54 PMCaelzeph Egh. This is going to end up with me having to relay things via phone-AIM, and that's going to be typo-ridden, slow and horrible, I can tell.
4:50:04 PMCaelzeph This is what I was trying to send:
4:50:05 PMCaelzeph Caelum steps through, mindful of potential noose-based threats. Should none become immediately apparent, he'll turn to address the party.
"I believe the Library of the Lorekeepers was located in this direction," he begins, indicating the route. "Once we have arrived, we shall proceed as planned."

So saying, Caelum begins the trek to the building, returning to his reading of the Tome.

Zwei will bag the newfound loot with an eager smile. There's combo material here!

He'll pull out a cig, light it with a snap of his fingers at the end and start smoking as he follows with the group to the library.

Cael, whose future are you using the book to look at?

Zweirugi. The illusionist believes he has the best chance of survival out of all of them should things go wrong, therefore he'll have the longest tale for this endeavour to look through.

(5:04:24 PM) lordgadigan: The people can produce about one truck's worth of furniture a day
(5:04:30 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) aaaah
(5:04:32 PM) lordgadigan: And we have no real stock to fall back on
(5:04:38 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) pfffttt, furniture now??
(5:04:49 PM) lordgadigan: Alas, yeah, saw that. If you ever do end up around here, let me know
(5:04:59 PM) lordgadigan: Furniture is what actually makes us money. We produce store fixtures
(5:05:08 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) ah, fair enough
(5:05:08 PM) lordgadigan: All of the other things are the boss's weird side projects
(5:05:19 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Celas, I apologize for my distraction, if you want to give them a run feel free to! XD
(5:05:49 PM) lordgadigan: I'll go type the rest of the Bonus Ancients' descriptions
(5:06:00 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (Gad, if Wriggle makes it on tonight, it may be wise to DISCUSSION regarding abilities, since he's been asking me)
(5:06:02 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) You have quite a few battles there, hahah
(5:06:18 PM) lordgadigan: Noted
(5:06:24 PM) lordgadigan: I halfway started one with him last night

(5:06:43 PM) lordgadigan: Went to sleep again
(5:07:05 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) You both have valid points, but I have a few theories / noticed a few potholes in both sides
(5:07:16 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) as usual though, it's always easier to find flaws . . . .
(5:08:07 PM) lordgadigan: You want to leave any comments now, or would you rather wait till he's here?
(5:12:15 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) I'll hold for now, dinner and all
(5:12:25 PM) lordgadigan: k
(5:14:37 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) phrasing it as "Bonus Ancients" REALLY makes me feel like the RM's involved . . . . .somehow
(5:15:07 PM) lordgadigan: haha
(5:27:13 PM) lordgadigan: I'm going to head AFK for a bit, but then I think I'll be back to try to get something done. I might try to tackle a smaller quest or just some random updates
(5:27:49 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Questions regarding Vashna's harvest:
1: How are you removing their ability?
2: "Vashna has more than enough from aura buffs that he's faster"- you have three pets that give aura buffs. One doesn't give stats, the other only gives them to law/chaos allies (Vashna's element is Life, according to your stats) and the third is +7,500, which is too low to make you faster. (32,970 MIN+Turn-Order to their 35,000 SPI)
(5:28:04 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) I mean, they still can't hit you so I should just roll up the loot, I'm just curious about the apparent inaccuracies there.
(5:28:19 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) 1: "Lockdown Time!"
(5:28:32 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) which doesn't appear when I search the thread. -.-
(5:28:43 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) I thought that was Nira's
(5:29:11 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) 2: Abomination and Mr. Freshness (Vashna's should be stated being a necro-golem in his mess)
(5:29:20 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) nah, he grabbed the "Broken" spark
(5:29:55 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) fair 'nuff, then. Fix yo' subtype in the future
(5:30:38 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) ah, I see, I have only if-clauses
(5:30:43 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) I'll fix that post-haste
(5:30:59 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) since I think once have I seriously turned that off
(5:31:11 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Your posts are maddeningly vague and Kit's constant rubber-stamping irritates me, so I tend to look really closely at your statblcoks
(5:31:52 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) that's fair enough
(5:32:04 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) they've gotten that way over time, I can assure you XD
(5:32:07 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Like I said, I didn't think the battle was unwinnable- even if they summoned, you had it. hahah
(5:32:15 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) I used to love posting move one-by-one
(5:32:46 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) hahah, I've been meta-modding my own fights for years. I do kinda miss that. But it's more... efficient? this way.
(5:32:46 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) this is good though, cause my NEXT fight once everyone is out may be liable to facedesk
(5:32:59 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Miss post-by-post, I mean.
(5:34:50 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) mmmmm
(5:34:57 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) What're Vashna's drop chances?
(5:35:04 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) 95%
(5:35:06 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) in fact, your entire crew's? hahah
(5:35:08 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) mmkay!
(5:35:35 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) 95% for Nira too, 90% for SO cause it's Guildless, and the RM is 100% because of Luck/Misfortune
(5:45:05 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) hahah
(5:45:09 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Roulette Master!
(5:45:11 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) ACK!
(5:45:13 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) doubleack!
(5:45:20 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) I forgot the harvest doubling.
(5:45:23 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) huuwaaaah?
(5:45:25 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) oh, snap
(5:47:08 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Fortunately, the RM's numbers for that first one were still up, so I fixed that one.
(5:47:22 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Which leads me to Vashna. I could double up on the existing drops or reroll.
(5:47:37 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) your call, I'm playin' the fool
(5:50:56 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Fixed 'em.
(5:51:01 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Luck was not on your side the second time around.
(5:51:16 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Hmmmmmm, my next fight seems to have beat me before I fought it
(5:51:20 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) shenanigans
(5:51:44 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) 100% drop chance and 100% drop rate amuses me greatly.
(5:51:56 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) indeed!
(5:55:38 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) KHHAAAAAAAAAAANNNN
(5:55:51 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Two steps away from harvesting Planetaries of War
(5:55:55 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) ;_;
(5:56:03 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) hahah
(5:56:42 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) those two "steps" being levels, I had synergized all of my strategies to take out 100, only to realize they all have two 2% chances to wreck me
(5:56:43 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Crappyish rolls on SO's harvests, but those're done.
(5:57:05 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) I can make that 1%, but still statistically against me, since if even one acts, BAM, devestated
(5:57:34 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Oof.
(5:57:38 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Also, that's insane.
(5:59:20 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) mmmm, it involved so many tricks: Acting before combat, Universe (not piercing), 'You're All Dead!', Camel-Fire Stacking, Sword-Wish (level 79), Dodge build, getting the double-tap on start-of-rounds, and collateral damage
(6:00:25 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) now that's just a weird set. A lot of high and low rolls, few mid-numbers.
(6:01:16 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) is that a harvest or what? Since high/low is usually good for them XD
(6:01:28 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Treasure Hunt
(6:01:43 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) out of 10, only one was between 50 and 80
(6:01:49 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) hmmmmmm
(6:01:56 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) I'll have to see which that is in a bit then
(6:02:49 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) mmmmmm, that shield
(6:06:28 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) and there ya go, that should be your fights out of the way
(6:07:25 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) excellent, sehr wunderbar
(6:07:31 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) I'll get my next meal up then
(6:12:02 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Double-KHAAAAANN, they can essentially friendly-fire Ragnarok
(6:20:15 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (overlordgoodloe) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjJUJUNo ... e=youtu.be
(6:50:48 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) gah, blasted monsters don't have *real* Ragnarok :/
(7:10:41 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) OK, thoughts:
-Specializations are bleh, since while they let people powerhouse a tree, and I suppose that's Optimal, it really cuts out the cool synergizes from class-combinations
-Alt idea: don't have them cut out the entire rest of the category?
-Making them cost *too* much get into is counter-productive, I agree they should be higher than 2 weeks, but too much defeats the purpose, just watch the pre-reqs
-Unified Knowledges are a good example of this
-The Mastery abilities exist already in the weapon classes, also GREAT examples. Zweirugi hit Expert Swordsman off the bat mostly due to this.
-This really will hit a snag with more rules if anything "every X levels" is implemented, if only because oh-god-we-already-have-too-many-rules-don't-start-me-on-this
-Wriggle, your numbers are great, but only consider one person in one tree. Even if striving for the upper-tier classes like one has to, one has to pick up other classes along the way
-Agreed, buying Expert Wizard sucked. Part was the abilities didn't exist, part was I'm only at like 60-ish ablities (though still going!). Neither reason was the sole reason.
-Templates can be done, but that observation is correct, it can't be kept up with at all, since they can be spread so far
-Also, BECAUSE they are template-able, they are lackluster
-Also, elemental classes really could use a "attack becomes solely X element" conversion move, though I'm hunching it's past t3
-On that note, the templates only FEEL necessary because we need them to hit those lofty requirements, if classes had enough iconics we likely would avoid templates like the plauge
-Seriously, FFS, has no one considered reducing requirements as opposed to more confusing burdens of knowledge onto new players? Perhaps not so exponential?! (Increasing rate linear, pffttt)
-Seriously
-Seriously, it'd make non-super classes less painful
(7:27:55 PM) lordgadigan: Quests
(7:28:00 PM) lordgadigan: Does anyone who is here want to do one?
(7:28:10 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) CAEL
(7:28:22 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) ARE THOUST BACK?!
(7:28:33 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) I ART
(7:28:38 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (cause I totally spy you on the site)
(7:28:42 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) SHALL WE?!
(7:28:48 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) WE SHALL
(7:28:57 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Wonder twin powers activate?
(7:28:59 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) I don't even know.
(7:29:02 PM) lordgadigan: (This is like the leadup to some crazy combo move)
(7:29:02 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (unless someone else has something they really want done, otherwise I can slash some shit)
(7:29:04 PM) lordgadigan: (haha)
(7:29:06 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) *VWOMPH*
(7:29:18 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Hey, there's still hope for that to happen between Caelum and Zwei.
(7:29:31 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) ALL OF THE ILLUSION-SWORDS
(7:29:42 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) "Haha! I was a sword all along, . . . . .oh wait . . "
(7:30:03 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) No, no, Caelum convinces reality that he's a sword so Zwei can weild him.
(7:30:28 PM) lordgadigan: I take it from the banter that you gentlemen want to do the library?
(7:30:34 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Except he's not, so he weilds Zwei.
(7:30:47 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Zwei Zwei? Dual wield?
(7:30:47 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) INFINITE RECURSIVE SWORDS
(7:30:48 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) yeah
(7:30:50 PM) lordgadigan: I'll go read where you are in that.
(7:30:52 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Indeed!
(7:30:55 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) hahaha
(7:31:02 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) it is CLEARLY *one of those nights*
(7:31:15 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Caelum was reading up on Zwei's future so they could steer the quest ahead in profitable/non-failure directions.
(7:31:35 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Given there's going to be timehopping, this could get convoluted.
(7:32:17 PM) lordgadigan: Right
(7:32:22 PM) lordgadigan: *Future-reading*
(7:32:27 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (Prediction: Out of time XD)
(7:32:34 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (hijinks ensue)
(7:32:48 PM) lordgadigan: Ceal reads about Zwei entering the library
(7:32:57 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Haha, I do wonder what would happen if Caelum tried to Gate them all to the Library in null-time.
(7:33:00 PM) lordgadigan: He heads through the entry room, which will contain two fish that he easily kills
(7:33:29 PM) lordgadigan: *trying to remember floor layout specifics*
(7:33:38 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (Incidentally, there will be a time-hop before entering the library. This is important)
(7:33:45 PM) lordgadigan: Oh
(7:33:46 PM) lordgadigan: Wait
(7:33:50 PM) lordgadigan: That totally changes things
(7:33:53 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Indeed.
(7:33:54 PM) lordgadigan: I'll stop my attempt right now
(7:33:56 PM) lordgadigan: So
(7:34:06 PM) lordgadigan: What sort of time hop are you planning on going for?
(7:34:27 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) His plan is to go to a less-looted version which is still in the abandoned period, but completely avoiding the monumental fiasco that was the Dome of the Lich Lord period.
(7:34:37 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (oh god, Cael whyyyyyyy, we're getting hypothetical fortunes)
(7:34:50 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Hey, we're going for accuracy. Ish.
(7:35:10 PM) lordgadigan: What are you planning on using to get there? Liar's gate?
(7:35:17 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Their goal is to find interesting and powerful treasures and books not from their own time that would greatly benefit both themselves and the members of the Corp.
(7:35:18 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Indeed.
(7:36:06 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Nobody's pretending to be something they're not, so that issue's out of the way (unless Irastor is secretly Lord Avandos or something)
(7:36:31 PM) lordgadigan: The time-magic is having a weird effect on the book. You read about Zwei stepping into the Liar's Gate and then the rest of the book is filled with yellow tape with 'NO FUTURE' scrawled on it over and over in black marker.
(7:37:11 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) "It appears this book does not interact well with crossing timelines. Perhaps I should try again beyond the gate."
(7:37:39 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) ("404: Future not found.")
(7:37:50 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) He claps it shut and stows it away.
(7:38:06 PM) lordgadigan: Geh. I have been summoned to dinner
(7:38:19 PM) lordgadigan: I may be back later. I may also end up asleep or something. We shall see!
(7:38:37 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) roger-o
(7:38:48 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Hrm. I have work fairly early tomorrow. Hopefully not too much later!
(7:39:01 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) hopefully not too fish
(8:39:04 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (pathaky@hotmail.com) Woo
(8:39:14 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Ahoy.
(8:41:18 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (pathaky@hotmail.com) How's it going?
(8:41:31 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Quite well, thanks.
(8:41:37 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (pathaky@hotmail.com) Good to hear!
(8:41:41 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (pathaky@hotmail.com) I have DnD again tonight
(8:41:42 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Although I have work very early tomorrow, for ten hours.
(8:41:51 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) And Gad might be running the Caelum/Zwei quest.
(8:46:30 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Are you D&Ding every day?
(8:46:38 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (pathaky@hotmail.com) Nop!
(8:46:41 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (pathaky@hotmail.com) Once a week, usually.
(8:46:47 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (pathaky@hotmail.com) Work schedules make it squibby
(8:46:56 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) hahah
(8:46:59 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) It's just seemed like it
(8:47:10 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (pathaky@hotmail.com) Agreed, haha
(9:19:47 PM) lordgadigan: Gentlemen, are you still here for library shenanigans?
(9:20:05 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) I'm around, but only for a shortened time
(9:20:07 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Indeed!
(9:20:12 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) I had planned to recover some sleep tonight
(9:20:18 PM) lordgadigan: Aha, okay
(9:20:29 PM) lordgadigan: So, the book has been shut!
(9:21:04 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) TO (the front of) THE LIBRARY
(9:21:17 PM) lordgadigan: You walk to the front of the library!
(9:21:25 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Zweirugi flicks away his cigarette, "C'mon, C'mon! Let's get this road on the show!"
(9:21:28 PM) lordgadigan: You're on the stairs in front of the hut
(9:21:42 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) "Very well. I shall open a gate to our desired timeline."
(9:22:32 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Caelum proceeds to call upon the esoteric magics that form the Liar's Gate, aiming it at a less-looted, non-turbulent, still-abandoned alt-timeline version of the Library!
(9:22:46 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Emmanuel sticks Favoured on him for this.
(9:22:51 PM) lordgadigan: What are your best Illusionist abilities?
(9:22:59 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) One moment.
(9:24:05 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Zweirugi puts on his Goggles of Temporal Vision
(9:24:10 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Up to Illusionist, many Illusory Things ones, Convincing/Skilled Liar (and the rest of that tree), pretty much every other illusion-ability going, and, most importantly, The Man Who Lied To Time.
(9:24:24 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) He also has a whole mess of Unreality Coordinator, including the named ability itself.
(9:24:32 PM) lordgadigan: Very good
(9:24:32 PM) lordgadigan: *processing*
(9:25:15 PM) lordgadigan: He picks up a number of major and minor alternate timelines, and his abilities are letting him get a basic word or two as to the general tilt of each
(9:25:18 PM) lordgadigan: I'll make a list and post it
(9:25:22 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Right.
(9:26:06 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) right, since this is a minor break, I'm grabbing my showah NOW
(9:26:09 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) brb 5-10 min
(9:26:15 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Righto!
(9:30:45 PM) lordgadigan: Main Timeline (You are here)
Major Timeline A ('Bats')
Major Timeline B ('Magic Kingdom')
Major Timeline C ('They Still Live')
Major Timeline D ('It Lurks')
Major Timeline E ('Like Your Kind, But Different')
Major Timeline F ('Desolation')
Disjoint Major Timeline A ('Era Of Man')
Disjoint Major Timeline B ('Seasons, So Different')
Minor Timeline A ('A Flase Attack')
Minor Timeline B ('Empty')
Minor Timeline C ('His Companion Seeks Him')
Minor Timeline D ('Featuring Scorpions')
Minor Timeline E ('Unfolded Magic')
Minor Timeline F-Fake ('All Is Illusion')
Minor Timeline F-Real ('Fae Dwell Here')
Minor Timeline G ('She Is Poison')
Minor Timeline H ('Mosquito?')
Minor Timeline I ('Gillingman')
(9:31:58 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) 'Disjoint'? Does that mean it's a major timeline (or once was) but got knocked out of easy access?
(9:33:50 PM) lordgadigan: Harder to access and more notably different than the main one. In both cases there, while reachable from these steps, you can determine that there isn't even a library in them
(9:34:19 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Also, do the Minor Timelines tend to contain less powerful stuff?
(9:34:30 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Right. Which of these timelines contain Libraries?
(9:35:49 PM) lordgadigan: The minor timelines tend to be smaller and contain less powerful natural stuff, generally. That said, you're getting a big, angry power signal from the 'Gillingman' one.
As far as you can tell, all of the non-disjoint ones have *some* version of the library, though some are probably rather limited
(9:36:35 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) From what Caelum knows/has been told of what happened here, Timeline Gillingman is going to be kept well clear of.
(9:37:08 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Also what's up with the real/fake stuff. Is the false timeline only reachable by virtue of the Liar's Gate and weirdness?
(9:37:09 PM) lordgadigan: Haha, probably a good call
(9:37:33 PM) lordgadigan: No. It's normally completely blocking the real one. It is only through your mastery of illusion-time-stuff that you can tell that it's fake and there's another one hiding behind it
(9:37:49 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Aha, so it's a fae-illusion-crafted dealie.
(9:37:57 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (presumably)
(9:38:12 PM) lordgadigan: That's the general vibe you get, yes
(9:39:28 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Major Timeline E sounds like the most reasonable one to go for under the circumstances for a fun, loot-filled adventure that'll contain stuff different from what can be found in the main timeline in general while not dropping us in crazytown. That said, I'll give Draconics a weigh-in.
(9:39:54 PM) lordgadigan: k
(9:40:20 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) back
(9:40:39 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) ('Desolation' and 'Empty' sound like they'd either contain a wrecked library or be generally horrible, 'It Lurks' and 'She is Poison' sound unpleasant, 'They Still Live' is likely a still-occupied library, so no looting there...)
(9:41:43 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Caelum gives Zwei the rundown of accessible timelines. He recommends against the angry-powerful Gillingman timeline, and suggests the 'LLike Your Kind, But Different' timeline as a good starting point.
(9:42:23 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (Zwei wouldn't mind trying to fight whatever lurks, given BA-ness it'd be a hell of a tale no doubt, Unfolded Magic sounds interesting but I've no idea what it's meaning)
(9:42:42 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (Possibly the Library's spatial-magic failing, causing... issues)
(9:42:44 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) C also really makes me wonder who "they" are
(9:42:50 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (hmmmmmmm~!)
(9:43:00 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Can Zweirugi see any of these with his goggles?
(9:43:18 PM) lordgadigan: Post the goggles, please
(9:43:28 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) also, why not try either of the F's?
(9:43:42 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) hehe, you said the same thing when SO used them XD
(9:43:43 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Goggles of Temporal Vision- (Accessory, Eyewear. Time, 9,550,000 Gold) Wearer may not be forced by sources below Level 60 to treat the current round's number as a number that wearer would not otherwise treat it as, Has RP effects
(9:43:53 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) The fake one's likely a trap set by the fae, and the real one likely contains people who don't want visitors.
(9:43:54 PM) lordgadigan: Aha, yes, he can
(9:43:58 PM) lordgadigan: Let me type up what he sees
(9:45:05 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (if we had the gumption, I'd be amused with one of us going to each "F", with Caelum likely going to the real one to steer Zwei through the fake one, more suited for the RM though, breaking fake worlds and all)
(9:45:33 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (Haha, there's nothing to say we can't come back for some inter-temporal vandalism)
(9:46:30 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (ok, final weight, I seem most curious about Minor C/MajorC/Major D, but agree E may be more what we're going for, though it may in that case be already looted)
(9:47:23 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (Haha, even in the main timeline the library is still filled with vastly powerful and interesting stuff, and given the parameters Caelum set, it's possible E is in the same boat)
(9:53:22 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) to avoid potential SAN damage, if Zwei can avoid reading the timeline Minor I, he will
(9:53:36 PM) lordgadigan: k
(9:53:39 PM) lordgadigan: still typing
(9:54:00 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) mmm
(9:58:27 PM) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(9:58:39 PM) lordgadigan: Major Timeline A ('Bats') -> Two bat-people wearing elaborate wizardly robes (one blue with white starbursts, the other black with gold runes) discussing some matter in front of the library. The one with the blue robe is holding up a pair of opera-spectacles with an hourglass perched on their upper side, looking back at you.
Major Timeline B ('Magic Kingdom') -> A bluish-purple-skinned girl and boy, wearing violet mage-noble robes, are reading through a stack of books that floats above the ground.
Major Timeline C ('They Still Live') -> A bulbously-headed yellow figure with armored robes, large hands, and emerald eyes stands at the top of the steps. Words are forming out of the air and flowing into the cracks around the door behind it.
Major Timeline D ('It Lurks') -> The sky is dark. The hut is covered in vines. Small tendrils snake out from under the door. There is a sign near the library reading 'DO NOT ENTER, THE THING IS IN THERE' in red paint.
Major Timeline E ('Like Your Kind, But Different') -> A white dragon with purple horns, a cyclops with cages of fairies dangling from its body, a wolf-man, a shining brain in a jar, a white-haired irrindil boy, a hunched crone, a handsome man made of stitched-together body parts, a man with a video camera, Fabulous Roy, and Alex Bannion, Master Adventurer are approaching the library.
Major Timeline F ('Desolation') -> The surrounding swamp is gray and filled with dust. Trees are dead. The hut's door hangs open, showing a room with empty shelves and burn-marks, as well as a passage going deeper in.

(9:58:43 PM) lordgadigan: Disjoint Major Timeline A ('Era Of Man') -> Two men measuring trees. They have axes.
Disjoint Major Timeline B ('Seasons, So Different') -> It is winter, the area appears to be a frozen-over lake, and there's several purple moths with raven heads.

(9:58:48 PM) lordgadigan: Minor Timeline A ('A False Attack') -> The area is foggy.
Minor Timeline B ('Empty') -> The world seems to stop about 20 feet away from the hut.
Minor Timeline C ('His Companion Seeks Him') -> A blonde man in a black suit with sunglasses and a hovertank is preparing to enter the library. Time is slow here.
Minor Timeline D ('Featuring Scorpions') -> It looks like where you are now, with minor differences.
Minor Timeline E ('Unfolded Magic') -> The hut is folded inside out, and magic is glowing at its heart. Books fly through the air. Legs made of lightning stride by to the left. Demons materialize to the right, cackling. A scroll nearby shoots a fountain of fireballs into the air. A mobile orb of healing magic careens about, restoring tree after tree after they get hit by destructive magic.
Minor Timeline F-Fake ('All Is Illusion') -> It looks like where you are, but sunnier.
Minor Timeline F-Real ('Fae Dwell Here') -> You can't see this.
Minor Timeline G ('She Is Poison') -> There's fog, and the world seems to end about forty feet from the hut.
Minor Timeline H ('Mosquito?') -> It's similar to where you are, but there's a mosquito flying around.
(9:59:55 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (...is that Thalvados?)
(10:00:02 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (just what hit me)
(10:01:17 PM) lordgadigan: Thalvados had black hair. This guy certainly has a similar outfit and tank, though
(10:01:53 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (pathaky@hotmail.com) (Oh dear.)
(10:02:03 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (Well, I'm game for Bats, Tank, or F-Real, because NO U)
(10:03:30 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (pathaky@hotmail.com) (My group)
(10:03:39 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (pathaky@hotmail.com) (Is fighting. The Sorceror just Blinded the Ranger)
(10:03:45 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (Woop)
(10:03:54 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (ok, lets make a call here and get started!
(10:03:55 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) )
(10:05:00 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) The bat-folk seem to be at least civilised and also capable of seeing the gang. Major A it is to begin!
(10:06:54 PM) lordgadigan: Right
(10:07:03 PM) lordgadigan: You depart to bat-land through the liar's gate!
(10:07:13 PM) lordgadigan: Is either of you planning on telling any particular lies to the bats?
(10:07:19 PM) lordgadigan: Or under the effects of any disguise?
(10:07:26 PM) lordgadigan: Besides Zwei being not-a-sword
(10:07:44 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Zwei is CLEARLY Vashna XD
(10:07:48 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Caelum learned his lesson the last time. Not while he's in range of the gate, at any rate.
(10:07:54 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) he also takes the goggles off beforehand
(10:08:13 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) actually, Caelum knows, so I guess he's just back to looking like him :/
(10:09:14 PM) lordgadigan: Heh, k
(10:10:08 PM) lordgadigan: You drop into the timeline. The bat people see you coming.
One of them immediately chain-casts three spells, at least one of which seems to be a translation effect.
"Hello, fellow chrononauts. To what do we owe your arrival?"
(10:10:39 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Zweirugi is going to keep quiet as best he can
(10:11:41 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Caelum bows. "Curiousity, and a desire for exploration and discovery. The library of our timeline contained many hidden wonders, so it was our hope to see what lay in timelines beyond."
(10:15:32 PM) lordgadigan: "An admirable goal, however I would suggest you attempt to perform your expedition in a different timeline. The priest-kings created this one in an attempt to access the lorekeepers' lost knowledge, but the library is... lacking in some respects. As it stands, however, our empire possesses several auxillary bases and an ongoing research expedition here. While we would welcome assistance with our research, given the current state of competition with the Mystic Empire of the Jade Lake, all notable finds would be ceded to the priest-kings. If you seek only knowledge, this may be palatable, but I get the impression that you may seek treasure as well."
The other bat-man is examining Zweirugi, apparently fascinated with some aspect of him.
(10:16:39 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (I imagine with Caelum's ample skill at lying, he'd be able to tell if the bat-people were being untruthful?)
(10:16:57 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Zweirugi's eye twitches, "Tch, what are YOOOUUU doing?! Got a problem with my hairstyle?" He seems rather disjoined from the main of the conversation
(10:18:24 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) "Ah. While knowledge is a worthy goal and one I would otherwise be only too glad to pursue in and of itself, for the purposes of our current excursion, we would indeed seek treasure. Might you recommend a particular timeline for such an endeavour?"
(10:19:56 PM) lordgadigan: "Ah, no. I was merely interested in your craftsmanship. I would venture to say that you're more advanced than any of the Jade Lake Empire's living weapons."
The bat doesn't seem dissuaded by your reaction. His curiosity thoroughly has the better of him.
The bat talking to Cael seems ready to intervene and shut him up if you get particularly close to snapping. It then turns to Cael to answer after it finishes eyeing its companion
(10:22:13 PM) lordgadigan: "Avoid the ones with the Dark Man's stiched servant-thing and the one where the thing that normally dwells in Morning Bright moved into the library instead. The timeline that possesses living Lorekeepers has thusfar remained difficult to navigate, and I strongly suspect that they are hiding the fact that their main tome is missing. I would say the one with errant magic and the recently-appeared timeline (he magically indicateds Major-E) have the best odds. We have also sent an expeditionary force into the library where most spawn table results were replaced by scorpions; it seems moderately promising.
(10:23:10 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Zweirugi smiles with some weird form of disposition, "You would compare living weapons to me? Learn yourself of my origins and see the horror of my creation at your own risk and not so preposterously in front of me."
(10:24:42 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) "The Dark Man's Stitched Servant? I am not familiar with such an entity. Neither have I heard of the being in Morning Bright."
(10:28:25 PM) lordgadigan: "Open your soul and your past to me, and I will gladly delve into them. I doubt the process that could produce such a *wondrous* object could horrify me."
"A man named Gillingman, a dark mage from beyond space and time, holds the true book of the Lorekeepers. None of our magics compares in the slightest to the dark miracles that dance at his whim. He has constructed an alternate timeline in which one of his patchwork abominations is pluming the magics at the root of this place in his stead. It gives a warning to depart to any who go there, and those who do not comply are annihilated.
As for the thing in Morning Bright, the world was once a place of monsters. We were hidden away in our caverns during that time, protected by the magics granted by the Creator to our prophets and priest-kings. In the darker reaches of the world, these monsters still dwell. The most terrible of them lives within a city of the extinct long-human race called Morning Bright."
(10:30:05 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (Does Zwei know if he can dump him into the Nowhere?)
(10:30:09 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) "Your information is greatly appreciated." Caelum bows again. "I thank you for your assistance. Should our paths cross with your expeditionary force if the flows of time conspire to lead us there, we shall do our best to help, not hinder, their progress."
(10:31:55 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Caelum turns to his swordy companion. "It appears we have a choice. The time of scorpions, of unfolded magic, or strangely familiar faces. Which shall we pursue?"
(10:32:15 PM) lordgadigan: What scan-items does Zwei have?
(10:32:21 PM) lordgadigan: /Abilities?
(10:32:24 PM) lordgadigan: Most notable ones only
(10:32:25 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Panopticum Shield
(10:32:32 PM) lordgadigan: What Level is Zwei?
(10:33:00 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) he has no abilities (I've gotta finish comboing those glasses first)
(10:33:04 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) 59
(10:33:21 PM) lordgadigan: You've got a shot at it, yes. You're around the same level as one of these bat-wizards. They've got all kinds of abilities and spells, but you've got the strong reality-pull weapon stuff.
(10:34:24 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Zweirugi will give him just a glimpse of true nowhere then before turning to Caelum, "Tch, either of the later too. I'd like to avoid the servants of such a church"
(10:35:35 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) "Very well. Perhaps we can enter a time after the diverse party of individuals does. Should the Library be anything like the incarnation I am familiar with, the mazelike interior would make meeting them highly unlikely."
(10:36:12 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) "Unless they're at the entrance . . . "
(10:36:13 PM) lordgadigan: The bat seems shaken by the effect. The other one is administering a magical stabilization effect to him and now watching Zwei for further attempts to use that power
(10:36:34 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) nope, that's the intended effect, Zwei seems a lot cooler now
(10:38:34 PM) lordgadigan: Sunglasses materialize on Zwei's face.
Zwei gets- Sweet Shades- (Accessory, Eyewear, Darkness & Ice, 600,000 Gold) +600 Melee Attack, 20% Fire Resistance
You feel that this occurred due to a very-brief moment of cosmic misunderstanding
(10:38:50 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) oh lord no
(10:38:57 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (Bahahaha)
(10:39:03 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) (ahahahaha!)
(10:39:04 PM) lordgadigan:
(10:39:05 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) this . . . . . . THIS . . . .
(10:39:23 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Caelum regards Zwei for a moment. "Peculiar. My other self often experienced such phenomena."
(10:40:02 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Zweirugi can here the Roulette Master laughing, and then behind that the coyote, he screams in rage to the sky. He clears his throat and turns to Caelum, we should leave before this gets worse.
(10:40:31 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (I swear, my characters and their eyewear)
(10:40:35 PM) lordgadigan: Haha
(10:40:57 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) "...quite. Let us at least wait until the aforementioned group has time to enter the library to avoid potential unwanted confrontations, should they be hostile."
(10:41:33 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Zweirgui enjoys the awkward moment, standing near the batmen, wearing shades
(10:41:50 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) He lights up a cigarette and starts smoking
(10:42:00 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Then pacing
(10:42:11 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Caelum politely introduces himself in the meantime.
(10:42:50 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) He stops at this, pulls off his shades with wide eyes, "WAIT, CAN'T WE JUST GO TO THE TIME AFTER THEY ENTER?!"
(10:43:07 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (He seems impatient . . . )
(10:43:27 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) "Interesting. It may be worth a try."
(10:43:42 PM) lordgadigan: The bat-men are mildly confused by the sunglasses, but they can't help but feel that Zwei is a cool dude. They respond to Caelum by introducing themselves as Risvether and Cicrimaccio.
(10:44:05 PM) lordgadigan: That timeline is actually moving forward in real-time in parallel to this one and the main one
(10:44:08 PM) lordgadigan: They've already gone in
(10:44:12 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Excellent.
(10:44:48 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Given the conversation should've given them enough time to wander and get nicely lost in there, Caelum pops open the Gate again (for no cost! Hooray for Symbols!)
(10:45:02 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Zweirugi cheers with an arm pump.
(10:45:27 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Caelum bows to his new acquaintances, gestures for Zwei to enter first, and then follows with the gang.
(10:45:37 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) Zwei does
(10:45:52 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (At this point, after the jump it may be best that I rolled out to bed)
(10:46:40 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) (Aero, if you want to auto me up until combat or major convo. feel free to. But I really need to get my sleep tonight)
(10:46:45 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (Righto.
(10:46:59 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (I won't be up too much longer myself, but I'll carry on for a little while)
(10:48:02 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (scamper922) well then, night folks!
(10:48:03 PM) lordgadigan: You lie to time again, telling it that that other timeline is actually the real one, and it was where you were the whole time
(10:48:18 PM) lordgadigan: You appear in it with vague memories of watching the people go into the library, even though you didn't do that
(10:48:22 PM) lordgadigan: (Have a good night!)
(10:48:40 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) First order of business: Open the Tome to see if it's reset itself for this timeline.
(10:49:18 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Caelum would rather avoid that party if at all possible, or at least see what the potential outcome of a meeting would be.
(10:50:59 PM) lordgadigan: The tome is indeed reset now that you're firmly in this timeline, and it seems to be adapting well to the various courses of possible action
(10:51:07 PM) lordgadigan: brb, then I'll work on some of the info from it
(10:51:12 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Caelum is extremely pleased at this.
(10:51:33 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) ("Whosa good tome! Have a tasty bookmark!")
(10:52:25 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) He'll be checking it for a) ways to avoid the party, b) likely attitudes in the party should they be encountered (friendly/unfriendly/bang), and c) lovely, lovely treasure that might be found, the difficulties in reaching them, and potential 'orrible murders they might otherwise fall into on the way.
(11:06:09 PM) lordgadigan: Back
(11:06:15 PM) lordgadigan: Here are some observations you pick up
(11:06:15 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Welcome back.
(11:06:26 PM) lordgadigan: 1. Avoiding them is fairly easy. There's pently of places they just never seem to go
(11:06:32 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) (This needs to be presented in picture book format)
(11:06:45 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (Pop-up, with chibi-Caelum and Zwei)
(11:07:11 PM) lordgadigan: 2. Every single fight that gets started with them (most of which are launched by Zwei's temper, Fabulous Roy, the dragon, or the cyclops), bar none, is handily won by your side
(11:07:34 PM) lordgadigan: I'll throw some names and levels your way to give you a clearer picture
(11:07:53 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (...huh. Guess they looked more intimidating than they were. So much for the 'This is the Competent-Bannion Timeline!' concern)
(11:10:44 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (Although I think Draconics will be more amused that Bannion seems to be sub-par in all timelines)
(11:11:50 PM) lordgadigan: Ronshalap the Yonger (Dragon, Level 3), Gigas-With-Fairies (Humanoid, Level 3), Pup (Humanoid, Level 3), Kyle (Outsider, Level 3), Neryl Zalmuss (Daemon, Level 3), Khaldra the Wizened (Humanoid, Level 5), Frank Savage (Golem, Level 3), Camera Lou (Human, Level 2), Fabulous Roy (Human, Level 8), Alex Bannion (2) (Human, Level 35)
(11:12:22 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) (Huh, he's actually... pretty decent. What the heck is he doing with that lot)
(11:12:53 PM) lordgadigan: Hm, I think there's a decent chance your character would pick up on this
(11:13:03 PM) lordgadigan: This is an alternate version of the first quest of the new BA
(11:13:50 PM) lordgadigan: These are similarly-levelled alts to Salphron, Selena & Titan, Kit, Kevin, Naria, Professor Khaldrin, Aralia the Fair, Thalvados, and Walter Pendingdale from back then
(11:13:54 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) First quest of the new BA? I can't recall which one that was. (There were many, many library-excursions, and we have the archived one...)
(11:13:56 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Aha!
(11:14:26 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Ahaha, Ronshalap -> Salphron.
(11:14:27 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) (*snort!*)
(11:14:35 PM) lordgadigan:
(11:14:49 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) I thought Gigas was a weird alt-Titan but couldn't quite pin it down.
(11:14:57 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (driftwood153) Pup. heh.
(11:16:01 PM) lordgadigan: 3. Zwei, prentending to be Vashna and pulling the right conversation lines, is able to secure Bannion's cooperation in some timelines
(11:16:27 PM) lordgadigan: 4. In case you missed it, that's the real Fabulous Roy, not some time-copy. He apparently respawned from death in this alt timeline
(11:16:32 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (pathaky@hotmail.com) haha
(11:16:37 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Interesting!
(11:16:49 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Caelum's fine with letting them do their thing and start their odd alt-past-in-the-present adventures. He makes a careful note of this timeline's 'address' to check out later in other places. It seems... worth keeping an eye on.
(11:17:01 PM) lordgadigan: 5. The main tome is missing. There's a hole in the timeline (which ends up eating members of this party in a few timelines and Zwei in one) where it should be
(11:17:28 PM) lordgadigan: 'Time-Address' recorded!
(11:17:28 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) So much for that idea.
(11:17:36 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Well, then!
(11:17:57 PM) lordgadigan: I'll say upfront that the bats are correct. Gillingman has the only copy of the tome currently in existance, and he's done a fairly large amount to protect it
(11:18:04 PM) lordgadigan: There's lots of other treasures
(11:18:11 PM) lordgadigan: And even perhaps a lesser version or two of the tome
(11:18:14 PM) lordgadigan: In these timelines
(11:18:21 PM) lordgadigan: But the real tome is out-of-reach here
(11:19:11 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) The plan is thus: Go on a merry romp looking for treasure, and/or those lesser-tomes. Stop a fair point before the opposing party encounters the timehole-tome to discuss with Zwei the merits of a) letting these folks know what's what so they can grow and develop in their own way in this timeline, without being zapped from reality, or b) outright recruitment.
(11:19:36 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Such that the gang will be able to reach the other party before they encounter the timehole.
(11:19:36 PM) lordgadigan: They'll be hitting that timeline hole in about half an hour
(11:19:41 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Hrng.
(11:19:42 PM) lordgadigan: Unless you delay them
(11:20:21 PM) lordgadigan: I'll note that Zwei falling into the timeline hole makes the book say 'BAD END'
(11:20:33 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Hahaha, it's a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure?
(11:21:14 PM) lordgadigan: It certainly shares some properties
(11:21:39 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) ...you know what, Caelum's got some pretty decent illusion-pull (including corporeal-illusion!) and shedloads of forewarning and a book that tells the future. Sure. He'll try a few things to get them pointed away from the main tome-area in a subtle fashion (that door is now an unremarkable bookcase/wall, etc) and into some lesser treasure areas to keep them distracted while the gang snags the shinier stuff.
(11:21:45 PM) lordgadigan: Sometimes it lapses into poetic verse or acts like Zwei is writing it it, complete with out-of-character 'dear diary' introductions from him
(11:22:31 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) ("...it was at this moment that I realised how awesome I am. Seriously, I am so awesome. Check it. I'm a goddamn SWORD. With SUNGLASSES.")
(11:22:54 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Emmanuel helps out with Favoured again.
(11:23:40 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Bannion's the one to fool here, really, but at over twenty levels below Caelum, not to mention the magic-school and element-capability in play, the illusioning should win out.
(11:24:25 PM) lordgadigan: (Haha)
(11:24:33 PM) lordgadigan: Indeed, you have a strong edge here
(11:25:29 PM) lordgadigan: I think we may want to leave off here for the night. You'll be shadowing and re-directing Bannion's group, using the future-book to see where they're heading, and Zwei will be with you
(11:25:38 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) If Bannion somehow seems in real danger of getting through the illusionary misdirections and the like, Caelum will step it up with an outright message to the guy.
(11:25:40 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) RIghto.
(11:26:20 PM) lordgadigan: I'll post this

[Modrageball]

(11:21:07 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Library's good!
(11:21:23 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) no complaints either way here
(11:22:36 PM) lordgadigan: I'll go take a look at where you all left off in the library
(11:23:04 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Misdirecting the alt-selves into not getting themselves ripped from reality.
(11:23:39 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) haha, oh jeez, this version has the Harvest Robe and corp flag still XD
(11:24:30 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Basic plan was to use illusions (tangible or otherwise) to misdirect them towards nice-for-their-level treasures and areas so they can live to be more interesting elsewhere while the pair loots the depths. If the Tome of Another's Future suggests they're after the Tome of the Lorekeepers, Caelum will pull something else.
(11:25:00 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) must avert the "Bad End"!
(11:25:06 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) which makes me really really wonder . . .
(11:25:25 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) how many other timelines have abruptly deviated since this quests ends with a void?
(11:25:30 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Hey now, alternates are always interesting, and these guys are just starting out.
(11:25:33 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Indeed.
(11:25:44 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Although this seems to be the only one involving BA-members.
(11:25:50 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Or proxies thereof.
(11:26:02 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) only one that we saw XD
(11:26:05 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) And nobody's going to be questing in the Thing of Morning Bright timeline...
(11:26:10 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) there were others, with THINGS
(11:26:35 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Unless we can somehow lure it into trying to get the Tome and thus get ripped from reality, but I'm pretty sure it was in the level-hundreds)
(11:30:17 PM) lordgadigan: So
(11:30:20 PM) lordgadigan: I'm caught up
(11:30:37 PM) lordgadigan: Are you planning on still trying a later recruitment pitch on this group
(11:30:44 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (I also need to remember, this Zwei has cool shades!)
(11:30:49 PM) lordgadigan: Or are you just going to lead them on the goose chase while keeping them away from the book room
(11:30:50 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Haha)
(11:30:56 PM) lordgadigan: And looting other parts your self?
(11:31:05 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Does the Tome actively suggest they're looking for the other-Tome?
(11:32:39 PM) lordgadigan: Yes
(11:32:45 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Okay then.
(11:37:21 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) They'll be partitioned off with long-lasting illusions on a section of the library that won't kill them and has items of reasonable shininess to help them out on their way. Caelum will top it off with a suitably-impressive-looking room with a 'Tome of the Lorekeepers' illusioned up, using Illusion (if necessary combined with Enchantment and Mentalist) to convince them of its veracity. It'll be set to change once they're safely back out of the portal into 'their' Nexus into a book politely explaining the situation with regards to the actual Tome (it is no longer reachable, Gillingman himself has removed it from all timelines, leaving a reality-destroying void where it once was), an exhaustively-detailed explanation of everything that could have befallen them if they weren't led off like this, explaining their great potential as alternate past selves of BA Members of the Primary Timeline, and an invitation to contact the Three of Swords once they have more power, the ability and/or the inclination to.
If possible, Cael will be swiping the explanation-book through the Liar's Gate to make it a real item (therefore not likely to poof) and layering the fake-Tome illusion atop that.
(11:38:52 PM) lordgadigan: Sounds good. 50k XP to pull it off with a permanent book / floating effect loop in there. You have that?
(11:38:58 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) He does!
(11:39:03 PM) lordgadigan: Excellent
(11:39:06 PM) lordgadigan: Plan engaged!
(11:39:18 PM) lordgadigan: Remind me at the end to do a general check on those people
(11:39:23 PM) lordgadigan: To see their response to it
(11:39:27 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zweirugi watches, impatient and loud, but he waits
(11:39:27 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) The idea is to let them get in, have a fine, safe adventure, decent profit/starting on their way on the road to potential, and then out again.
(11:39:40 PM) lordgadigan: *nods*
(11:40:37 PM) lordgadigan: So, that is now set up!
(11:40:59 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Once they're partitioned off and the Tome of Another's Future suggests that all roads (barring extreme, unlikely happenstance) lead to their success, Caelum will bow to Zweirugi.
"I thank you for your patience, but this may well reap great benefits along the path of the future. Let us engage in what we came to do."
(11:41:25 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just ready to get on with this!"
(11:41:49 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) He flicks his current cig and follows.
(11:42:03 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "I believe we will be able to benefit considerably from such an excursion."
(11:42:13 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (We've got Irastor, Wallace and Emmanuel, don't we?)
(11:42:50 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (huh, yeah)
(11:43:53 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Time to hunt down shiny treasures and knowledge!
(11:44:36 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Not just looking for themselves, but also for the other Swords-members, if anything's applicable. Thank goodness for Bags of Holding.
(11:46:11 PM) lordgadigan: So, your duo is going to be exploring the place
(11:46:21 PM) lordgadigan: Any particular exploration pattern, or should I start going through it room by room
(11:46:22 PM) lordgadigan: ?
(11:46:57 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Using the Tome if possible to home in on the shiniest targets/avoid Bad Ends. Other than that, looting ALL OF THE THINGS
(11:47:07 PM) lordgadigan: Hah, k
(11:47:22 PM) lordgadigan: What detail mode do you want this in?
(11:47:26 PM) lordgadigan: Low/Mid/High?
(11:47:37 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum's notably going to illusion himself and the squishy-squad invisible and put duplicates a couple of feet in front of them for this exploration.
(11:48:11 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Mm, let's go with low-med unless something notable/shiny is hit. Thoughts, Draconics?
(11:48:36 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Granted, the Library seems to have a pretty good stack of 'shiny/notable' if its primary incarnation is anything to go by)
(11:48:52 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Still, all the more fun.
(11:48:52 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) I'll agree with that
(11:48:57 PM) lordgadigan: k
(11:49:07 PM) lordgadigan: I'll get a drink and then return to launch into that exploration
(11:56:45 PM) lordgadigan: Back
(11:56:53 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Welcome back.
(11:56:54 PM) lordgadigan: Alright, you're still back in the main entry hall
(11:57:03 PM) lordgadigan: You know
(11:57:06 PM) lordgadigan: I think it'll make things easier
(11:57:10 PM) lordgadigan: If I do some mapping
(11:57:28 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Map the Library? That's a hefty order.
(11:57:46 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) oh man, that's exciting
(11:59:11 PM) lordgadigan: Alright, I've got a map started on paper (since it's far faster than my trying to set something up on the computer. I *might* scan things later, but this is mostly for personal use to track all passages / areas)
(11:59:17 PM) lordgadigan: You're in the entry hall
(11:59:23 PM) lordgadigan: Which has already been described, I believe
(11:59:27 PM) lordgadigan: There's a door at the dar end
(11:59:30 PM) lordgadigan: *far end
(11:59:33 PM) lordgadigan: Heading through there?
(11:59:51 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) We'll be completely avoiding the alt-squad's section, notably. That area's for them.
(11:59:52 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Indeed!
(1/5/2014 12:00:08 AM) lordgadigan: (Also, let me know of any furnishings you choose to rip up and cart out as treasure, I can stat antiquities fairly quickly at this point)
(12:00:10 AM) lordgadigan: k, noted
(12:00:13 AM) lordgadigan: You head forwards
(12:00:16 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) noted!
(12:00:28 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Haha, Vashna comes back from a trip and finds ALL THE BOOKCASES
(12:00:29 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) For the record, Zwei's leading (for better and worse)
(12:00:38 AM) lordgadigan: And are now in a 30' hallway filled with books about fish. There's bookshelves along the left and right hand walls and a short row along the middle
(12:00:40 AM) lordgadigan: Noted!
(12:00:51 AM) lordgadigan: There's a double-door at the far end
(12:00:58 AM) lordgadigan: And the skeletal remains of some fish thing
(12:01:03 AM) lordgadigan: That you both recognize as an Icthorimir
(12:01:17 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Quick scan for any notably useful books (we have aquatic-leaning people!) and then ONWARDS.
(12:02:07 AM) lordgadigan: No notable ones. This areas has been picked fairly thin of useful stuff, and the lower-quality books left around have basically stocked the place with newly-spawned low-level low-value fish-related books
(12:02:11 AM) lordgadigan: Onwards!
(12:02:11 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei gives the corpse a passing glance to see if he can tell how it was slain
(12:02:28 AM) lordgadigan: Sword chop to the head
(12:02:35 AM) lordgadigan: By Alex Bannion, Adventurer Extrordinaire!
(12:02:58 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Haha
(12:03:25 AM) lordgadigan: The next chamber is round with a slightly domed ceiling. Bookshelves ring the 50' wide room. There's a door on the right and one straight across. Alt-group went right (though there's lots of sub-brnaches over there)
(12:03:58 AM) lordgadigan: I'll note that most PC-including expeditions *also* have gone right here
(12:04:04 AM) lordgadigan: In the real version of this place
(12:04:14 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Unless the Tome suggests there's anything notably shiny down that way (that wasn't including in the Zone of Safe Adventuring), we'll be going straight.
(12:04:34 AM) lordgadigan: The tome suggests shiny in all directions at this point
(12:04:38 AM) lordgadigan: Too much sub-branching
(12:04:46 AM) lordgadigan: Still straight?
(12:05:01 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Also let's go ahead and say there'll be quick-scans for useful books in each room. Caelum can lie to time, so he might be able to condense time for that sort of thing on a personal scale.
(12:05:12 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) May as well venture off into unexplored territory.
(12:05:13 AM) lordgadigan: Nothing notable here either
(12:05:21 AM) lordgadigan: Lots of random things that might be combo fodder, but no notables
(12:06:11 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei may grab a sword-book here or there if he can spot one when passing it
(12:06:18 AM) lordgadigan: Noted
(12:06:29 AM) lordgadigan: So, the group heads straight
(12:06:48 AM) lordgadigan: You enter a hallway made of dark wood with a dark-wood door at the far end. Zwei detects enchantments on it
(12:07:38 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum has some Enchanter and Diviner/is totally really good at it, really. What does he think it's for?
(12:07:58 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Also Danger Sense, which could be useful here)
(12:08:16 AM) lordgadigan: Moving 'Horrors' (which includes some stuff beyond the subtype Horror) into a basement 'sublevel'.
(12:09:02 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Well, I don't think any of our party are particularly horrific. Onwards!
(12:09:06 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) like, if the PC's were horros?
(12:09:08 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) yeah
(12:10:45 AM) lordgadigan: You proceed
(12:11:41 AM) lordgadigan: You enter a room containing books on basic magical theorems. A glowing purple sphere with two legs of puplish lightning sits in the near-left corner of the room. There's a door on the far side to the left and on the near end of the right wall
(12:12:31 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Given this is a pretty alt-universe, it's possible there's alt-magic types! Any books to that effect will be snagged. But first, what's the sphere?
(12:13:24 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei will approach the sphere, to say 5 ft away to get a closer look
(12:13:50 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Irastor's likely to be interested in said idea when floated, too)
(12:14:14 AM) lordgadigan: It crackles a bit more as Zwei and Caelum approach
(12:14:22 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) That was one of the main goals, here, after all. Find alternate schools of stuff particular to alt-timelines and suchlike.
(12:14:33 AM) lordgadigan: How good are you two in Enchantment and Wizard Magic?
(12:14:52 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei has Wizard up to . . .
(12:15:16 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Enchantment: Apprentice (+Illusion-fakery), Wizard: Apprentice (+ Illusion-fakery)
(12:15:17 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Wizard, 18 abilities total
(12:15:30 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Also we have Irastor.
(12:15:34 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (with basic enchanter)
(12:17:34 AM) lordgadigan: Zwei and Cael are able to rather easily identify it as a half-finished Magic Being being constructed using a mix of Wizard Magic and Enchantment. It would be a simple site-guardian type and was likely being made as a test for someone checking that they understood basic principles of the creation of those sorts of beings. The resultant creature would be a Crackling Violet Guardian (Magic Being, Level 5).
(12:18:28 AM) lordgadigan: (Irastor presence noted. He'll be tagging along and helping with info but won't get a ton of focus in order to make everything not take twice as long due to considering his actions in each room)
(12:18:58 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "Interesting. I wonder if we could wrest control of it and bring it with us. Exposure to other timelines, notably the inside-out Library could transform it into a potent ally. Or result in interesting effects."
(12:19:24 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) "I wonder if it can be turned into a sword"
(12:19:43 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum attempts to lie to it such that ownership falls to him, then bubble-grab it/tow it along.
(12:19:51 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) He lights another smoke, "Though it'd only be of a lower power level"
(12:19:55 AM) lordgadigan: Zwei -> The materials from it probably could, with knowledge of the two above spell schools and the Artifice one
(12:19:59 AM) lordgadigan: Though yes, it'd be low power
(12:20:07 AM) lordgadigan: Caelum gets
(12:20:22 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "Magic Beings would, I expect, be highly receptive to infusions of power. Consider it the start of an investment."
(12:20:26 AM) lordgadigan: Unfinished Crackling Violet Guardian- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Electrical, 60,000 Gold)
(12:21:02 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Any books on things/schools of magic/weaponry/etc unknown to the Primary Timeline in here, or otherwise notably interesting?
(12:21:20 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) If so, basic theory is an excellent start to bring back.
(12:21:39 AM) lordgadigan: No. It's a variety of basic-and-apprentice-tier works on Enchantment and Wizard Magic
(12:22:05 AM) lordgadigan: Given how long this quest stalled
(12:22:11 AM) lordgadigan: I'd be open to some mid-quest fast-study
(12:22:16 AM) lordgadigan: If people want to take the time to read things in here
(12:22:26 AM) lordgadigan: Or make item stats for the books
(12:22:29 AM) lordgadigan: If people want 'em
(12:23:04 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei would be open to either, since he has a foothold in both, though given his attitude, would opt moreso for the taking them now and reading after they're out
(12:23:09 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Haha, I think we'll hold off on that for now. Caelum will grab the more useful ones to bring back for other Swords-members so they can learn a bit about the magical side of things. Tardil might benefit from throwing a bit of magi- in her -tech. (Stats can come later)
(12:25:05 AM) lordgadigan: (I want to avoid 'stats can come later'. That tends to result in giant update piles at quest ends)
(12:25:16 AM) lordgadigan: 1 moment
(12:25:16 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Fair enough)
(12:25:19 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (gah, true)
(12:25:59 AM) lordgadigan: 350 Book Detailing Practicies of Wizard Magic- (Item, Antiquity, Magic, 17,500 Gold)
250 Book Detailing Practicies of Enchantment- (Item, Antiquity, Magic, 17,500 Gold)
26 Book Detailing Practicies of Wizard Magic and Enchantment- (Item, Antiquity, Magic, 36,200 Gold)
(12:27:37 AM) lordgadigan: We'll use those for these books
(12:27:44 AM) lordgadigan: Instead of cranking out a bunch of individual titles
(12:28:04 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Excellent. Let's go left, unless the Tome suggests better shinies in the other direction. (Actually, let's consider the Tome consulted as a sort of profit-compass and, if possible, have a note if there's notably greater or fewer potential for shinies in a given direction)
(12:28:22 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Mostly to keep things speeding along and to get the most out of this endeavour.
(12:28:59 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Haha, I recall the choose-your-own adventure books. I always ended up bookmarking each section and flipping back and forth like mad to get the best results)
(12:29:25 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Sort of what I'm seeing going on in my mind's eye now. Illusory bookmarks everywhere!)
(12:30:13 AM) lordgadigan: (haha)
(12:31:28 AM) lordgadigan: Your group proceeds through the door towards the left end of the wall across from you
(12:33:30 AM) lordgadigan: You open it to a rather dark chamber similar to some sort of wood warehouse. Inside are tall piles of books in disorganized groups around the floor. The room is about 80' x 80' judging by ceiling dimensions. There's two doors on the far wall, two on the left wall, two others on the wall you came in on (both to the left), and three on the right wall. You both immediately pick up on a poorly-concealed third door on the far wall and that one of the three doors on the right (the one in the middle) is fake and is a trap. When the door is open, three reptilian howls come from the left, and you sense the slowly-charging presence of three Syaarktis Howlers (Monster, Level 3).
(12:34:28 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum lets Zwei show off his skills with sashimi, flitting about the room at the speed of lies to look for the previously-sought material (or anything notably interesting/valuable)
(12:35:14 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei is seen unsheathing his blade before returning it to the scabbard as the Howlers are cut to shreds in less than a blink
(12:35:43 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) He has a smile on his face, though obviously ready for more.
(12:37:34 AM) lordgadigan: Cael determines that the presence of 'How to Avouid Basement Clutter, by Henree Bunglehoots'- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Darkness, 700 Gold) was the original cause of the clutter in this this room (which then started compounding on itself). The book is notable because Mr. Bunglehoots never lived on this world, and this book seems to have gotten here by way of odd spawn-quirk of the alt-timeline.
Zwei easily performs the shred-cutting.
You all get XP and Gold for the howlers, as well as
3 Lizard Frill of Loud Howling- (Accessory, Bioaugmentation, Earth & Sonic, 7,000 Gold) +7 Ranged Attack, 30% Impaired: Mute Resistance
(12:37:35 AM) lordgadigan: brb
(12:38:43 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei helps gather the items and nods to Caelum to choose a door.
(12:39:16 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) That's... an impressive cascade. If there's nothing else of interest in the room, they'll check out the (poorly) hidden door.
(12:43:19 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (So many dooooors)
(12:51:02 AM) lordgadigan: Back
(12:51:13 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Welcome back again.
(12:51:20 AM) lordgadigan: ty
(12:51:48 AM) lordgadigan: The (poorly) hidden door opens to a hallway with a short ceiling. It's about 4' high, and there's a curve to the right about 15' down it
(12:51:58 AM) lordgadigan: That whole section is dusty
(12:52:31 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Illusion-telescope-mirror array! What's down this thing/is it an obvious trap?
(12:53:33 AM) lordgadigan: A mirror is projected onto the far end of the hall that telescopically reveals what is beyond the curve!
(12:53:35 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Does it look regular?
(12:53:36 AM) lordgadigan: It's more hallway!
(12:53:40 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) SHOCK
(12:53:41 AM) lordgadigan: Ending in another door!
(12:53:48 AM) lordgadigan: Too dusty to be regular!
(12:53:55 AM) lordgadigan: (haha)
(12:54:16 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Welp, may as well investigate! Illusion-minions, gooo
(12:54:44 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Actually I'm considering making a bunch of them, sending them off in all directions and having them report back if anything notable is encountered)
(12:55:34 AM) lordgadigan: (Taking up the Salphron in the Library strategy? I'll note that it's a fair amount of work to adequitely process, though it might speed things up (although it also cuts down on the interesting stuff you see))
(12:55:45 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Eggh, true.
(12:55:48 AM) lordgadigan: You send down illusory servants
(12:55:58 AM) lordgadigan: Probably halfling sized ones or something due to height
(12:56:09 AM) lordgadigan: They open the far door, which opens to a short staircase going upwards
(12:56:20 AM) lordgadigan: They report back that there's a room up there with white marble tile and a fountain
(12:56:21 AM) lordgadigan: Also some doors
(12:56:24 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) It's more this has been backlogged for so long I want to ensure we get a fair amount out of this. If anything notable pops, the party will boogie on down.
(12:56:48 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zweirugi will head down towards the room!
(12:56:55 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Onward!
(12:57:03 AM) lordgadigan: Zweirugi, hunched, heads down the dusty passage
(12:57:11 AM) lordgadigan: And pops up in a hexagonal room
(12:57:15 AM) lordgadigan: With a fountain in the middle
(12:57:18 AM) lordgadigan: And four doors
(12:57:23 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (So long as this doesn't end up with Irastor having to deal with the Sofa Conundrum with regards to his seals)
(12:57:44 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Is the Fountain flowing? and IS it water?
(12:57:56 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (er, does it look like it?)
(12:58:00 AM) lordgadigan: Flowing? Yes!
Water? Yes!
Magic water? YES!
(12:58:06 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Best kind!
(12:58:17 AM) lordgadigan: There's a statue in the middle
(12:58:34 AM) lordgadigan: Of a nude woman with long hair. The water is coming out of an outstretched hand with its palm facing upwards
(12:58:47 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Any detectable properties?
(12:59:06 AM) lordgadigan: Please restate your progress in the Enchanter tree
(12:59:15 AM) lordgadigan: (I may be asking this sort of thing a lot)
(12:59:21 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Apprentice (+ LIES)
(12:59:34 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (Basic)
(12:59:46 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Likewise with Diviner, +Danger Sense.
(12:59:57 AM) lordgadigan: Cael -> You determine that it places some sort of enchantment on the drinker, with the enchantment only being applied to men. Vague, mostly low, danger.
(1:00:13 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum relays this.
(1:01:01 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum... does not have Empty Bottles! Shock! He'll illusion up a couple to snag the water to see if his Arena-granted item-knowledge provides more info.
(1:01:13 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Minigate to make them real)
(1:02:09 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Granted, when I got the 'Hey, I can cast this vast magic to bend Time to my will' spell for free with this equipment set, 'make bottles' wasn't exactly on my list of expected uses)
(1:02:56 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei's tempted to see if he can beat it, but will withhold. Does the woman look as though she was petrified into this, or sculpted there?
(1:04:23 AM) lordgadigan: Water of the Woman's Hand- (Consumable, Potion, Water & Magic, 1 Charge, 8,000 Gold) Target individual below Level 40 whose name includes 'Male' or 'Man' but not 'Woman' has a 75% chance of being afflicted with Confusion for 7 rounds and a 75% chance of being afflicted with Impaired
Item knowledge seems to indicate that it sometimes turns men into women, sometimes makes them think they've been turned into women, and sometimes just causes them general problems.
She looks sculpted.
(1:04:45 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (I was afraid of that)
(1:05:33 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Amusing as it might be to install it in Langidor's tank for shenanigans, I think it's time to move on.
(1:05:37 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Hahaha
(1:05:55 AM) lordgadigan: k
(1:05:57 AM) lordgadigan: Where are you heading?
(1:06:05 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Also because I heard the last gender-swap fiasco got seriously out of hand.)
(1:06:24 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) First door on the left! Let's see where it goes, unless others ping as more-shiny.
(1:09:46 AM) lordgadigan: The door opens to a cozy room with green carpeting, bookshelves built into the walls, and a door on each side. The wall across from you contains a fireplace with calmly crackling logs, and there are two chairs in the room, both with stained wood legs and blue fabric with yellow designs. There's a small imp creature with large ears scurrying from one of the shelves towards the fireplace with a three-book-high stack. The whole room smells of smoked meat and has a slight quality of 'laziness' to it.
(1:10:56 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) The book-check happens again!
(1:12:04 AM) lordgadigan: Nope. This room specializes in the history of men in military organizations who like eating smoked meats
(1:12:21 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) How peculiarly specific.
(1:12:26 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Using his knife, Zwei is going to try to fling his knife to try and pin the imp
(1:12:27 AM) lordgadigan: Also, the fireplace has an enchantment on it that turns books into logs and then makes more books spawn
(1:12:51 AM) lordgadigan: Success. The imp is pinned by an ear to the floor.
"AIEEEE. AIEEE! NONONO."
(1:12:55 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) How peculiar.
(1:13:25 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei has a draw as he kneels down next to the thing, "So~ What's your purpose?"
(1:14:03 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Wallace and his excellent observation will see if the chimney exists and/or looks to lead anywhere
(1:15:42 AM) lordgadigan: "AIIIII BURN THE BOOKS IN THE ROOM TO MAKE THE NEW BOOKS BE IN THE ROOM SO I CAN BURN THE BOOKS TO MAKE THE BOOKS TO BURN THEM!"

The chimney does exist! It also seems to exit out into some other room of the library about 20' above the top of this one.
(1:17:02 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei grabs the knife showing intent to pull it out, "Has any book been here since you started?"
(1:17:15 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Wallace informs the others of the chimney exit
(1:18:41 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Well, then. Putting out the fire and ascending the chimney sounds an interesting prospect.
(1:18:50 AM) lordgadigan: "YES AIAIAI, YES! ONES ON TOP TWO SHELVES. ME NO CAN THEM REACH WELL, TOO MUCH WORK FOR SAME END AS OTHERS."
(1:20:18 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei will pull out the knife and examine those books on the top shelves, curious what was here originally
(1:20:54 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (if it was more history or more cooking)
(1:22:54 AM) lordgadigan: 'The Life and Times of Millard Ruttfuss, Colonel of the Admiddian States, and His Favorite Smoked Sausage Recipes'- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Fire, 7,500 Gold)
Is the first book to end up in this room. It and the other four next to it detect as having been placed here instead of spawning. The others all spawned.
The books seem to have more a tilt towards history in their contents, but all have cooking or food in them.
(1:23:46 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) ...interesting. Can Caelum detect/recreate what was originally in here via Lies-to-Time or Divination?
(1:24:12 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Unless it was more smoked meat-history, in which case nevermind and CHIMNEY)
(1:26:16 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zweirugi takes the original, for hingsight
(1:26:46 AM) lordgadigan: Cael is able to get a transparent shadow-show of one of the lorekeepers building the room, then another entering from the doorway to your left once it's created and placing the first book in, then shortly after, another placing the next four in it.
(1:27:09 AM) lordgadigan: Zweirugi now has the book
(1:27:27 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Apparently they liked all lore, regardless of use.
(1:27:55 AM) lordgadigan: Did you ever read the quest that Bimbo Turngood and company came from?
(1:28:04 AM) lordgadigan: They did indeed collect lots of low-use-value info
(1:28:07 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) I did not.
(1:28:14 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) I think it was before my time/the archive.
(1:28:33 AM) lordgadigan: "Salphon moves to the book "now.... lets see what kinda magic this book has." and he simply speaks in the lore keepers tounge 'Show me what you have on Von Duran' to the book hoping it's inchanted to respond to such comands."
(1:28:45 AM) lordgadigan: "Alastor Morkbull VonDurion was born on the 178th day of year 7,100 under the name Morkbull Zornwith. His parents, Borbbo Zornwith and Ibbla Zornwith, were the first two people to see him following his birth. The wet nurse of the small town, who was supposed to be assisting with the birth as a midwife, had pretended to be sick to avoid going to deliver the baby. In reality, Mrs. Morppa Valhiii, the wet nurse, shirked her duties to see her lover, a man named Bimbo Turngood, who worked as a merchant in the vaguely nearby town of Ispitt. Ispitt, which served as a market town, housed only 455 residents, but many temporary tenants rented rooms from the various innkeepers and landowners. Irrbid Hoopsig, one such landowner, had 27 different paying tenants at the time of VonDurion's birth.

The book goes on to list the boy's birth weight, number of times he blinked in the first two hours of his life, the details of the midwife's illicit relationship, and the number of times a cricket outside chirped that night, among other things.

"What's it saying, Salphron?" Naria seems very eager to find out."
(1:29:07 AM) lordgadigan: That's an excerpt from Dome of the Lich Lord
(1:29:15 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) haha
(1:29:17 AM) lordgadigan: Where Salphron was trying to get useful info out of the main tome
(1:29:18 AM) lordgadigan:
(1:29:22 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Anyway. Time to look for some uniques, unknown-magic-schools, new-things, etc, etc. Chimney it is! (Caelum will make up a solid illusion-lift)
(1:29:48 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Haha, I took that to be a case of 'when a book contains everything, trying to find anything is difficult'.
(1:30:10 AM) lordgadigan: And indeed it was
(1:30:19 AM) lordgadigan: Caelum makes a lift in the chimney
(1:30:29 AM) lordgadigan: The chimney is still a squeeze, but you two are limber and contortable enough
(1:30:33 AM) lordgadigan: To not really have problems with it
(1:30:40 AM) lordgadigan: You ascend the chimney
(1:30:47 AM) lordgadigan: Zwei
(1:30:50 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) We'll have the illusion-selves overlay and send it back down for the rest of the gang.
(1:31:02 AM) lordgadigan: Are you getting your sagger back first?
(1:31:05 AM) lordgadigan: *dagger
(1:31:06 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) /make some sort of revolving-lift arrangement
(1:35:47 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) yep yep, I think I removed it after it told me
(1:36:22 AM) lordgadigan: k
(1:36:32 AM) lordgadigan: The imp, still injured, resumes its task
(1:36:37 AM) lordgadigan: Your group heads up the lift
(1:37:21 AM) lordgadigan: And enters a dusty chamber filled with cobwebs and creaky bookcases. A 15' wide spider is coming down from the ceiling at you all, very slowly.
(1:37:49 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (eeeeughhhh)
(1:38:14 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum leaves the extermination to Zwei again as he once more checks for what they're after.
(1:39:54 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zweirugi will use Throw Sword to launch a blade and his Knife at it with a ranged attack, trying to slay it before it closes.
(1:40:21 AM) lordgadigan: Zwei hits it with both and immediately pins it dead to the ceiling
(1:40:42 AM) lordgadigan: You get XP for a Greater Browndeath Spider (Insect, Level 21)
(1:40:45 AM) lordgadigan: Also gold
(1:40:45 AM) lordgadigan: And
(1:41:14 AM) lordgadigan: Browndeath Spider Hide Armor- (Armor, Light Armor, Acid & Earth, 376,000 Gold) +310 Defense, 45% inflicts Poison, 30% Poison Resistance
(1:41:23 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Well, we seem to be moving into higher-level territory, at least)
(1:41:29 AM) lordgadigan: Zwei locates books mainly pertaining to insect-related druid magic
(1:41:39 AM) lordgadigan: But also some on swarm-related wizard magic
(1:42:16 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) We have a couple of druids (or one interested in the subject, one probably in insect-proofing his trees), and a bunch of Wizards, so into the bag they go.
(1:43:36 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) And then checking for other exits! (If none are obvious, there's probably some hidden. This seems like the type of place for it)
(1:44:53 AM) lordgadigan: 315 Book of Druidic Insect Lore- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Acid, 63,000 Gold)
'The Spiders of My Garden, The Spiders of My Grove'- (Item, Antiquity, Earth, 273,000 Gold)
'Combating Swarms with Excessive Blast Magic'- (Item, Antiquity, Fire & Magic, 475,000 Gold)
'Summoner of Swarms'- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Magic, 313,000 Gold)
27 Book Related to Swarm-Related Wizard Magic- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Acid & Magic, 196,000 Gold)
(1:45:00 AM) lordgadigan: There are indeed three other doors in here
(1:45:09 AM) lordgadigan: The spider was just the notable first thing in the room
(1:45:11 AM) lordgadigan: Also
(1:45:15 AM) lordgadigan: Wallace spots a ring on the floor
(1:45:31 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Assuming no danger-ping, yoink.
(1:46:55 AM) lordgadigan: Ring of Web-Protection- (Accessory, Ring, Magic & Earth, 216,000 Gold) Wielder gains 80% Paralyzed Resistance against Insects below Level 60
(1:47:25 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Handy
(1:47:29 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Right. Let's continue on the lefthand path (or leftmost door, whichever)
(1:47:45 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Assuming there's nothing else in this room of interest.
(1:48:36 AM) lordgadigan: You open the door to a hall that wiggles like a sine-wave. The floor is black, the walls are blue, and there are occasional shelves with mathematics texts on them
(1:48:41 AM) lordgadigan: There's a door at the far end
(1:48:50 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Iiinteresting.
(1:48:50 AM) lordgadigan: And a fake trap-door in the middle that leads to a trap
(1:49:08 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Avoiding the trapdoor, getting any notable books.
(1:49:38 AM) lordgadigan: Notable is wibbly here
(1:49:41 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (If necessary, solid-illusion-slab over the door)
(1:49:41 AM) lordgadigan: None are unique
(1:49:49 AM) lordgadigan: But some might be interesting?
(1:49:52 AM) lordgadigan: Getting those?
(1:49:56 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) May as well go for them, indeed.
(1:50:04 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) trapdoor*
(1:51:30 AM) lordgadigan: 'Mathematics in a Time of War'- (Item, Antiquity, War & Fire & Technology, 700,000 Gold)
'The Principles of Magic, as Understood through Equations'- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Psychic, 310,000 Gold) <- Far less useful in understanding magic than the title might lead you to believe
'The Goat, The Juggler, and the Seven Pies, An Exploration of Mathematics'- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Water, 17,300 Gold)
(1:52:08 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) That last one just sounds weird.
(1:52:43 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Still, the first two might be good for Gerald and his Dread Banking/Tardil.
(1:52:57 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) ONWARD
(1:53:48 AM) lordgadigan: You proceed
(1:53:59 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) yosh
(1:55:13 AM) lordgadigan: You enter a room with two floors worth of space but no actual upper floor. The walls are bookcases. There's two doors on the wall to the right, two on the wall to the left, and two on the wall across from you. There's also a purple minotaur with orange horns in the room, about to charge you.
(1:56:34 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum will let Zwei take (ha) point. If it turns out this is a slightly tougher customer than expected, he'll follow with a Sky Serpent's Wrath from a false-sky-portal.
(1:57:33 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zweirugi will rely on what he inticipates are faster reflexes, he charges it at the same time for a swordsy cross-counter
(1:57:40 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (for x4 damage, clearly)
(1:58:02 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) He'll make it an upwards double cleave, trying to land the blow between the two horns
(1:58:42 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Haha, take them as souvenirs?)
(1:59:52 AM) lordgadigan: Zweirugi's anticipation is correct. His reflexes are fast, and he strikes with both blades between the horns, immediately dropping the Maze Grinder (Monster & Humanoid, Level 27).
You get XP and Gold for it.
You also get the Maze Grinder's Axe- (Weapon, Axe, Magic & Spatial, 4,570,000 Gold) +4,710 Melee Attack, 35% inflicts an instance of Vanished on targets below Level 30 that automatically wears off after 5 rounds and does not affect individuals with over 30,000 MIN
(2:00:02 AM) lordgadigan: Are you taking the horns?
(2:00:09 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) May as well!
(2:00:18 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) We might be able to make a nifty hat out of it.
(2:00:23 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) /conversation piece
(2:00:43 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (/iconic dragonborn helm incoming)
(2:01:11 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) The books are summarily checked for timeline-specific schools/interesting/notable stuff, too!
(2:01:24 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (I like that the axe effectively inflict Maze)
(2:01:47 AM) lordgadigan: 2 Maze Grinder's Horn- (Item, Antiquity, Physical & Magic & Spatial, 470,000 Gold)
( )
(2:02:10 AM) lordgadigan: Books in this room seem to relate to mazes, maze-magic (particularly related to wizard magic), and unusual variant monsters
(2:02:56 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Into the bag!
(2:03:26 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) And then first lefthand door once again.
(2:04:49 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (If I can get maze and response-casting onto the same person, totally stepping towards Llan-route)
(2:05:03 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Haha)
(2:06:30 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (You guys never really got to grasp how truly frustrating he is to fight)
(2:06:59 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (It's fine, we'd have annoyed him until he left of his own volition, I'm sure)
(2:07:05 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (Wriggle as DM of the campaign he was in got a good idea, hahaha)
(2:07:18 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) ("HEY HERE'S OUR NEW SINGLE"
"Oh gods not again.")
(2:07:28 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (yeah, if multiple foes are there, he e)ither opts for teleporting out or hamster-ball)
(2:07:34 AM) lordgadigan: 17,256 Book of Mazes- (Item, Antiquity, Earth, 6,200 Gold)
375 Book Regarding Maze Construction- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Physical, 32,650 Gold)
17 Book About Old Mazes- (Item, Antiquity, Earth, 9,520 Gold)
35 Book of Maze Magic- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Spatial, 15,610,000 Gold)
610 Encyclopedia of Unusual Variant Monster- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Darkness & Light & Acid, 610,000 Gold)
(2:07:44 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) holy books batman
(2:07:56 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (We can make a maze out of them!)
(2:08:28 AM) lordgadigan: You then proceed
(2:09:30 AM) lordgadigan: You enter a rectangular room with a wood table with 5 chairs (two on the near side) around it in it. The walls have bookshelves inset into the lower thirds of them. There is a needle-faced purplish-blue insect sitting on the table, which appears aggressive. There are no other exits from this room
(2:10:52 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum prepares a Wrath again on the offchance Zwei doesn't manage to finish it in a single blow, although given the levels seem to be hanging around high-20s right now there doesn't seem much risk there.
(2:11:17 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei will lunge at it with a flourish and an Inscet-Slaying Slash!
(2:12:48 AM) lordgadigan: Zwei lunges in and slays it with the slaying slash, slashing insect gore around the room.
You defeated the Purple Needle-Nosed Grossengreid (Insect, Level 17)
You get XP and Gold
Purple Insect Gore- (Item, Antiquity, Acid, 200 Gold)
(2:13:13 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Roomcheck go!
(2:14:23 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) gooey!
(2:14:30 AM) lordgadigan: This room specializes in Swimming Pool Design. The insect seems incidental.
(2:15:18 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Uh
(2:15:50 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) If there's anything outstandingly valuable or notable out of that, they'll snag it. Otherwise, back to the previous room and into the other lefthand door.
(2:16:48 AM) lordgadigan: There is not
(2:16:49 AM) lordgadigan: k
(2:16:53 AM) lordgadigan: Your group moves again
(2:17:17 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Amusing as it might be to beat enemies via swimming pools)
(2:19:18 AM) lordgadigan: You open the door to another, similar, room. This one is longer and lacks an insect on its table (which has eight chairs). There is a secret door in the wall across from you all; it is opened by pulling out the proper book, which you notice.

You both get-
Secret Door Detection- (Passive Ability, Thief) Possessor treats Large Structures as though they possessed 5% less Resilience
(2:19:34 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Waha, excellent)
(2:19:40 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Oh~
(2:19:46 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) ANy books of the variety we're after?
(2:19:52 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Otherwise SECREEEEEETS)
(2:20:05 AM) lordgadigan: No. This room speciliazes in the aesthetic design of underground statue gardens
(2:20:40 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) ONWARD then!
(2:20:58 AM) lordgadigan: You pull out 'Lord Rottemeyer's Guide to the Properly-Ominous Statue Grotto'- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Darkness, 70,000 Gold)
And open the secret passage, which opens towards a winding, downwards-spiralling path
(2:27:11 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) We head down
(2:27:34 AM) lordgadigan: You head down the passage. The danger-alert starts going off, identifying that life drain effects are going to start hitting you soon
(2:27:37 AM) lordgadigan: They're weaker than you are
(2:27:40 AM) lordgadigan: But they're noted
(2:27:51 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Fortunately, Caelum has Life-stuff to counteract the drain. Hopefully.
(2:28:21 AM) lordgadigan: So you're proceeding down?
(2:28:28 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Can Zwei even feel them? (He's triple immune to sub-40 iirc) How does it look like Irastor/Wallace will hold up?
(2:28:43 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) oh, they haven't hit yet
(2:28:50 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) I thought we triggered an alarm
(2:29:01 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) No, just Caelum's Danger Sense.
(2:29:04 AM) lordgadigan: Anyone else immune to sub-40? What're everyone else's levels?
(2:29:11 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zweirugi can go on ahead and try to take out the source
(2:29:34 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Wallace is 39, Caelum 39, Irastor (what did we get him to?), Zweirugi 59
(2:29:49 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum's 59, Emmanuel's 39, Irastor is a boss and leveled to... 30.
(2:29:58 AM) lordgadigan: k
(2:30:08 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) oh, right
(2:30:22 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) If necessary, Caelum will bubble up a roving life-zone and throw Illusion into the mix to hide the more-vulnerable from the effect.
(2:30:25 AM) lordgadigan: Zweirugi proceeds in front of the group and the Aggressive Hundredfold Wraith-Hands begin emerging from the walls, striking at him to utterly no effect
(2:30:37 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) I didn't think Caelum was 59 when this started, Cael's the one that was stuck
(2:31:01 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Haha, Caelum was indeed freshly 59 for this.
(2:31:07 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) It's what triggered the run.
(2:31:22 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) He will introduce the hundred hands to 'death be a thousand cuts'!
(2:31:42 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) if only for numerical superiority
(2:31:43 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Ack. I need to get to bed for a bit as I have work in a few hours, but please keep this going. Draconics has ALL OF THE AUTO)
(2:32:06 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (Gah, I was going to bail here soon)
(2:32:11 AM) lordgadigan: I need to get to bed too
(2:32:16 AM) lordgadigan: So how about we call things here?
(2:32:24 AM) lordgadigan: Ah, before we do
(2:32:27 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Hrng, fair enough.
(2:32:31 AM) lordgadigan: Zwei can indeed hack apart the intangible hands
(2:32:38 AM) lordgadigan: And gets XP for a Level 37 challenge for them
(2:32:46 AM) lordgadigan: They were more trap than monster
(2:32:47 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) hahaha, the hour grows towards crazy o'clock!
(2:32:51 AM) lordgadigan: Indeed it does!
(2:32:55 AM) lordgadigan: And we don't want it to roll there
(2:32:56 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) interesting
(2:33:00 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Sounds like we're heading in a stronger-challenge direction.
(2:33:08 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) excelllllllent
(2:33:12 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) WHich likely means more shiny. So great.
(2:33:19 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Hopefully we'll be able to pick this up again soon!
(2:33:33 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Wow, much book, so shiny, very level
(2:33:46 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Much unique, so unusual
(2:33:51 AM) lordgadigan: Hahaha

[Modrageball]

(1/11/2014 8:54:36 PM) lordgadigan: Hello. Anyone around?
(8:54:46 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Guh
(8:55:08 PM) lordgadigan: Not feeling well?
(8:55:17 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Haha, just a little groggy.
(8:55:21 PM) lordgadigan: Hah, k
(9:06:13 PM) lordgadigan: I think I'll go review your Seirei pets
(9:06:20 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Woo
(9:06:35 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) I also threw a few pet ideas into my private thread, if you'd prefer to look at those.
(9:06:46 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) forum*
(9:06:46 PM) lordgadigan: Those are the ones I'm talking about
(9:06:52 PM) lordgadigan: Do you have some somewhere else that need review?
(9:06:58 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) I misread 'pets' as 'posts'
(9:07:02 PM) lordgadigan: Ahh, k
(9:07:07 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Again, groggy)
(9:07:15 PM) lordgadigan: I'm actually caught up on all the Seirei quest threads
(9:07:19 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Woo
(9:07:23 PM) lordgadigan: I'm currently trying to catch up on all the mod-run stuff
(9:07:32 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) I'll be doing more on that front in the coming week.
(9:07:38 PM) lordgadigan: Sounds good
(9:07:40 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) At least, that's the plan.
(9:10:42 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Woop, I messed up on that SHare Torment effect by splicing it with a move.
(9:11:17 PM) lordgadigan: Should I be treating it as a move or constant effect with respects to fixing it?
(9:11:19 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) The element/mp cost should just be the usual 'constant effect' blurb.
(9:11:22 PM) lordgadigan: k
(9:11:40 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) It's basically the boilerplate ability agony-enemies have, with potential to scale.
(9:16:43 PM) lordgadigan: Post
(9:16:59 PM) lordgadigan: As a note, I like the guy. I think he's an interesting concept that fits the overall BA that I haven't made anything for yet
(9:17:07 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Haha, thanks.
(9:17:50 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Again, those two elements are usually (I'd imagine) a completely opposed mixture.
(9:17:56 PM) lordgadigan: Indeed so
(9:22:10 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Plan is (if he gets found/picked up) to get more self- respawns/more element-resistances/etc as he goes, along with the mentioned other stuff. (Other versions of him are likely to have a bundle of more-negative constant-effects due to not having the Hope element to offset the 'part of a hellish, endless platformer-type experiment')
(9:22:46 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) I rather like it.
(9:23:01 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) The clean-up of him, that is, not what's going on with him.
(9:23:44 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) ...hrg, I should probably put an 'Inflicts Pain' on the Unleash Pain move, at least.
(9:24:21 PM) lordgadigan: Yeah
(9:24:24 PM) lordgadigan: That makes sense
(9:24:28 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) And stick a value on the 'increase on the bar on death' bit. 50,000, maybe.
(9:24:29 PM) lordgadigan: Glad you like the clean-up!
(9:24:38 PM) lordgadigan: Yeah, that sounds like a good value
(9:24:40 PM) lordgadigan: Missed that one
(9:26:59 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Other ideas on him included later moves being able to use the Pain Bar as alt-MP. Which would be a sort-of-weird shout out to one of the world's influences if it's shortened to 'PP'....
(9:27:20 PM) lordgadigan: *nods*
(9:27:33 PM) lordgadigan: Didn't realize Earthbound was Seirei inspiration
(9:27:57 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Well, Pokémon, but Earthbound could work too in the weirder areas)
(9:28:07 PM) lordgadigan: Aha, k
(9:28:10 PM) lordgadigan: That makes more sense
(9:28:11 PM) lordgadigan: Haha
(9:31:16 PM) lordgadigan: I'll get a drink and then go over the blossoms
(9:33:47 PM) lordgadigan: Back, looking at the bloosms
(9:33:52 PM) lordgadigan: *blossoms
(9:34:00 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Welcome back.
(9:34:07 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) wb
(9:35:58 PM) lordgadigan: ty
(9:36:07 PM) lordgadigan: Looks like we may be doing another night of library running
(9:36:13 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Wooo
(9:36:13 PM) lordgadigan: Unless things change very quickly
(9:36:19 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) I am totally okay with this.
(9:36:24 PM) lordgadigan:
(9:36:46 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) are you not running Cthulu tonight?
(9:38:14 PM) lordgadigan: Blossom 1 posted
(9:38:20 PM) lordgadigan: You two gents are the only other people here
(9:38:28 PM) lordgadigan: So it's currently looking like 'no'
(9:40:27 PM) lordgadigan: Blossom 2 posted
(9:40:37 PM) lordgadigan: Yeah, it's 9:40 and no one else is here, we're doing BA stuff
(9:40:42 PM) lordgadigan: I'll go catch up on the library thread
(9:42:13 PM) lordgadigan: Ah, while I'm thinking about it
(9:42:25 PM) lordgadigan: Legendary Baller, do you want the race thread left open?
(9:42:41 PM) lordgadigan: I didn't want to close it down during the mod-run-thread cleanup run unless you actually wanted it closed
(9:42:57 PM) lordgadigan: But I've been cleaning that subforum up and reading all the threads in it, so I thought I'd ask
(9:43:44 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Blossoms are looking good to me.
(9:43:48 PM) lordgadigan: Excellent
(9:43:53 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Thought I'd put a twist on the whole pet-thing.
(9:43:59 PM) lordgadigan: *nods*
(9:44:06 PM) lordgadigan: Those were all interesting pet ideas
(9:44:13 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Excellent to hear.
(9:44:35 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Luckily for you Frue's not in this chat XD
(9:44:40 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) go ahead and kill it
(9:44:47 PM) lordgadigan: k
(9:44:52 PM) lordgadigan: Why the Frue thing?
(9:44:56 PM) lordgadigan: Does he like that thread?
(9:45:11 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) He still (somehow) doesn't know my name
(9:45:28 PM) lordgadigan: Haha, right.
(9:45:30 PM) lordgadigan: That is amusing
(9:45:35 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Given his liking for poking Wriggle with alternative nicknames, likely a situation you want maintained.
(9:48:05 PM) lordgadigan: Mod Run Worlds is, notably
(9:48:14 PM) lordgadigan: Down to just one page in the first time in well over a year
(9:48:19 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Woo!
(9:48:28 PM) lordgadigan: I think it was floating at just barely three pages when I started this attempt to fix the backlog on it
(9:48:41 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Means we've been having a robust set of alt-quests going on, at least.
(9:48:46 PM) lordgadigan: Indeed!
(9:48:50 PM) lordgadigan: And I've been enjoying reading them
(9:48:56 PM) lordgadigan: I think they're adding to the site
(9:49:00 PM) lordgadigan: And to the personalities of characters
(9:49:13 PM) lordgadigan: I also like seeing the worlds develop their own styles and overall banks of info
(9:49:26 PM) lordgadigan: So, library!
(9:49:37 PM) lordgadigan: Zwei was going down the stairs
(9:49:42 PM) lordgadigan: And had stopped the wraith hands
(9:49:56 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Indeed, we were heading towards hihger-level stuff.
(9:50:35 PM) lordgadigan: You two both heading down, or is it just Zwei scouting ahead?
(9:51:46 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) I think Zwei was scouting a safe distance ahead, with the rest of the party following his roaring rampage of trap-slicery, Caelum contributing dangersense-warnings where needed.
(9:52:12 PM) lordgadigan: k
(9:52:33 PM) lordgadigan: Zwei reaches the base of the stairs, where there is a deep maple door.
(9:54:22 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (phone)
(9:54:49 PM) lordgadigan: (k)
(9:58:14 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Yeah, Zwei can be ahead
(9:58:23 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) He'll listen at the door and then open it
(10:02:02 PM) lordgadigan: He hears no particular noise coming from behind it.
He opens the door, and inside there is a room lit by a dim, deep-purple light. The room is 15' x 7' and has several 4' high bookshelves around it. There's a door over to the left with a chain stretched across its front with a golden lock on it, another door across the room with no chain, and a door with the number '1' embossed on it in gold to your right.
(10:03:29 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) He signals for the group
(10:03:29 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Well, this seems important.
(10:03:40 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) First off: Book Checking!
(10:04:22 PM) lordgadigan: brb, phone rining
(10:09:12 PM) lordgadigan: It was Ryan. He just realized what time it was. He (and presumably John and Nate) were at a party for some guy up there and can't make it back till at least 11, so he was letting me know about that.
In other news, Joe is really busy again and stopping being here for gaming night for a bit.
So we're pretty much all-clear to keep running this
(10:09:53 PM) lordgadigan: The books in here tend to relate to practices of channeling to feed a mix of wizard magic and enchantment spells into actively-present aspects of mana patterns (represented through special form-extruded magic circles) of Magic Beings
(10:10:36 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Oho
(10:10:52 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Given what we picked up earlier, interesting.
(10:11:08 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Also Caelum has some Wizard, Channeling and Enchantment-stuff, I believe)
(10:11:36 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Book-looting, go!
(10:11:52 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) loot-loot-loot-loot
(10:16:11 PM) lordgadigan: You all get-
825 Specialized Text Concerning the Practices of Channeling a Mixture of Wizard Magic and Enchantment Into Actively-Present Form-Extruded Aspects of Magic Being Mana Patterns- (Item, Antiquity, Magic, 8,260,000 Gold)
(10:16:27 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Woop
(10:18:10 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Can Caelum pick up anything from this that'd do something useful for that magic being-in-progress he picked up earlier?
(10:18:23 PM) lordgadigan: That'd take a fair bit of reading time
(10:18:27 PM) lordgadigan: Do you want to spend the time doing that?
(10:18:46 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Mm, fair enough. Probably not worth suspending proceedings for, especially with Zwei around.
(10:19:01 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) So, doors!
(10:19:10 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Important-looking ones, at that.
(10:19:54 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei opening the door with the "1" on it would likely hit him hard, he's not resistance to Irony
(10:19:59 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Tome goooo
Are any of those looking to lead to the Tome of the Lorekeepers' Room/otherwise certain doom?
(10:21:40 PM) lordgadigan: Seems like no
(10:21:42 PM) lordgadigan: In all cases
(10:21:48 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Excellent.
(10:22:30 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "It appears we can proceed without fear of oblivion."
(10:22:51 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) "Do we even have a good way to open that lock?
(10:22:52 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) "
(10:22:59 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Does Caelum think he can finagle the gold lock open, assuming no key is immediately apparent?
(10:23:34 PM) lordgadigan: The book seems to indicate that getting in there should be possible since it contained passages about Zwei going in
(10:23:39 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) He had (at the time) all the Thief abilities available going in, loads of Unreality Coordinator/Genesis Architect and make-solid-illusions stuff.
(10:23:52 PM) lordgadigan: What sort of Thief stuff does he have?
(10:24:35 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Up to Apprentice Thief (which was all that was available at the time), Basic Lock Picking, Steal, Tricky, Sneaky, etc.
(10:25:14 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (He only picked up Thief when it was created a little while ago, after this thread's advent)
(10:25:47 PM) lordgadigan: He thinks he has at least some chance of success with his thievery skills using an illusion-to-reality key and his pretending to be more talented as a thief with his pretend-to-be-multitalented thing
(10:26:41 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) He'll give it a go, then!
(10:26:57 PM) lordgadigan: Right
(10:26:58 PM) lordgadigan: Processing
(10:27:46 PM) lordgadigan: Caelum has to fidget with it for a good several minutes, reshaping the key a couple times, but he eventually gets it open. The lock pops off and the chain disentigrates into a field of iron-shining dust.
(10:28:50 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Ordinary iron dust, or something suitably magic-like?
(10:29:04 PM) lordgadigan: Magic-like, but the stuff is vanishing fast
(10:29:12 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei has been casually flipping through books in this time, smoking and chatting with Irastor and Wallace
(10:29:22 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Hey, he'll try grabbing it if possible.
(10:29:36 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Might be interesting.
(10:31:49 PM) lordgadigan: A BA member's touch seems to stabilize it a bit, and he manages to get it up fast enough given his speed.
Dust of a Mystic Iron Chain- (Item, Antiquity, Metal & Magic, 75,500 Gold)

Irastor is interested in the various books also, whereas Wallace (generally used to keeping an eye out for danger) is slightly more laid back given the general lack of severe threats in this place so far.
(10:32:38 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Metal element. Very nice.
(10:33:31 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum indicates the door is open! Unless the Tome (from the earlier skimming) suggested immediate nasties, he'll let Zwei charge on in as he wishes.
(10:35:24 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei, very eager to get moving does so! Re-drawing his blades he heads on
(10:37:03 PM) lordgadigan: Zwei opens the door and heads on in. It is a stone corridor that radiates an odd magic that Zwei and Caelum both pick up on as being somehow different from the rest of the place, extending down towards a small chamber of the same stone with a single book on a stone pedestal.
(10:37:45 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Illusion-telescope go!
(10:38:07 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Also any indication as to how it's different?
(10:38:44 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei smiles, this looks exciting! "If that's not the main tome, I'm all game to get it."
(10:39:16 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "Indeed, but be on your guard. This place is somehow distinct from the rest of the Library."
(10:39:22 PM) lordgadigan: Caelum -> What do you have so far as Reality Arranger, Subspace Architect, Wanderer, and area-mana-pattern-related Scholar abilities?
(10:41:08 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Wanderer: To Apprentice
No Reality Arranger, but plenty of Unreality Coordinator

(10:41:43 PM) lordgadigan: Looks like this place was jettisonned through spacetime from (somewhere) and arrived here; it's unclear who made it or its exact traits.
(10:42:25 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum shares as much.
(10:43:31 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) "I can give it a shot?"
(10:44:24 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "By all means."
(10:45:28 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zweirugi will stand in the doorway and put his off-blade back to his belt. Waves of energy ebb and flow about him as he readies himself for his attack.
(10:46:16 PM) lordgadigan: What is he preparing to attack?
(10:46:46 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (I'm flavoring his grab)
(10:46:56 PM) lordgadigan: (k)
(10:50:19 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) He closes his eyes and shifts his stances with his hold on the blade brought into his chest with the tip aloft. "STRIKE THE AIR! REND THE SPACE!" With a slash nothing seems to happen for a moment as he shoots his hand out and brings t back swiftly. With a combination of Strike Like Air and Cut through Space he will attempt to cut the 'distance' between him and the pedestal. He will make use of Time-Split Cut to make sure he has time to grab the book before the space-rift closes.
(10:50:39 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) it*
(10:50:57 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (ideally when he brings his hand back it'll be full of book, but I can't be sure XD)
(10:52:55 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (The sword at present IS spatial element, though Zwei himself has it swapped for Time)
(11:01:08 PM) lordgadigan: The distance in the hallway splits, and Zweirugi finds the book in his hand, grabbed remotely across the spatially-cut distance.
*'Augustus Lemminton's Account of the Doom that Came'- (Item, Antiquity, Darkness & Chaos & Magic, 7,000,000 Gold)
(11:03:21 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "An ominous title, indeed."
(11:03:25 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zweirugi confirms the pedestal as still being empty and then hands the book to Caelum, "We may want to read some of this one"
(11:03:34 PM) lordgadigan: The pedestal is indeed empty.
(11:03:58 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "Quite so. But perhaps not in this room. It not originally being part of the Library may make it less stable."
(11:05:24 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Back to the previous room, and Caelum will skim through the book, using lies-to-time to speed the process up if possible.
(11:05:29 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) "This may relate to a doom we'll encounter though."
(11:05:44 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zweirugi will close the door behind him
(11:05:59 PM) lordgadigan: The door closes. Which side are you going to be on when you close it?
(11:06:07 PM) lordgadigan: Ah, back in the previous one
(11:06:07 PM) lordgadigan: k
(11:06:11 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Library side XD
(11:06:30 PM) lordgadigan: Caelum skims the book. Do you want a short or moderate length synopsis?
(11:06:46 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Define 'moderate' in this case.
(11:06:54 PM) lordgadigan: brb
(11:07:02 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) That bad, ef.
(11:07:04 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) eh*
(11:11:19 PM) lordgadigan: back
(11:11:23 PM) lordgadigan: Hah
(11:11:52 PM) lordgadigan: A few paragraphs as opposed to a few sentences. The short version would give you a general gist of the disaster, the moderate would present it in stages and include the names of more people related to it
(11:12:33 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) I know I'm leaning moderate, but moreso whether our actions here are influenced or will influence it
(11:12:51 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) since Zwei's hunching this may relate to that one timeline of the library
(11:13:01 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Moderate it is, then.
(11:13:03 PM) lordgadigan: k
(11:13:06 PM) lordgadigan: Starting on that
(11:42:25 PM) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(11:42:30 PM) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(11:42:38 PM) lordgadigan: The book begins with an out-of-place printed version of a hyperlink 'mww.bearpopsiclecomics.lol'. The page sets off the danger bell in a vague manner, but seems to present no obvious harm (and is non-clickable).

Augustus Lemminton was an archmage of the nation of High Lycerium on the world of Remfass. A general overview of the world and the various nations (nearly all of them ruled by wizards of one manner or another), as well as the surrounding cosmos. The dimension they were in was limited to the world, a few nearby lifeless worlds and moons, a few small stars, and a bit of outer space beyond things. The dimension was connected to a few others, and within the last 30 years, there had been a renaissance in the understanding of dimensional magics, with teams being sent out-of-universe to explore (and in some cases colonise) other planes. Augustus was instead involved in abjuration-related projects in the capital of his nation, which was ruled by Wizard Lord Theodric and the Council of Arcane Sight.

Augustus gives a reasonably detailed account of one morning where reports start coming in from the far side of the world, most of the initial ones completely garbled, of area after area falling to some sort of wave of horrible disasters. Augustus, along with most of the Council and a number of other notable persons, sealed themselves up in the Sealed Citadel within the capital, which had been built as a magical fallout-shelter in case of war with the nearby Aranocracy of Gran-Rassek. A team of diviners was quickly put together to determine the nature of the disaster. They determined the following:

(11:42:42 PM) lordgadigan: Across the world in the small nation of Lymus, a research team lead by Mage-Technician Moltan Golme built an interdimensional broadcast-receiver. They quickly located a large communications network (predominately in universal common) called the Multiverse Wide Web, and they set up a general index of it. As they were indexing, one of their Arcana-Engines reported an error when attempting to process a comedy site called Bear Popsicle Comics. The team visited the site.

And so did the diviner team. Indirectly, at least. A cartoon bear licking a popsicle (the website's mascot) manifested in the citadel and gave a wave as the text 'ISSUE 855: HI-SPIDERS.cmic' appeared above the divination room. That wing of the secure fortress was quickly ejected as everyone's heads started detaching and smiling sketched-out spiders started dancing out of their torsos.

Abjurers set up additional wards, and evocation-focused squads of archwizards were prepped as secondary divination teams began more screened readings of what was going on in different (jettison-prepped) parts of the fortress). Meanwhile, other teams started getting together their dimensional-research specialists to prep a mass-evacuation of the world for some known others.

(11:42:47 PM) lordgadigan: The enemy was identified as a Conceptual Abstract Coded-Being Horror of unprecedented power and aggressiveness that existed in the form of the idea behind a living comics website. Reports of 'battles' from other parts of the world starting coming in to the diviners, with no notable successes on the parts of the various wizard kingdoms. The Aether-Binders of New Quarr, the Skymage Fleet of Far Aetheum, the Arcane Knighthood of Dalos-Yor, and the Crimson Evokers of Gran-Rassek all found themselves utterly overwhelmed by the assorted comic-manifestations that overlapped their local realities, none of them able to cause any actual harm to the overall meta-self of Bear Popsicle Comics. The only point at which the world seemed to offer any credible delay to the whimsically malicious comic was when the local god of magic, Mateus Rem, manifested and took to battling it. The struggle lasted for the better part of two hours, with the mage-priests within the Sealed Citadel reporting fluctuations of their powers (generally at near-zero levels due to the deity attempting to use it to outpower the intelligent comic-thing) before they suddenly went catatonic en-masse. At that point, all of the copies of 'The Arcane Workings of the World and Its Truths', the holy book of Mateus Rem, had their pages replaced with 'HE'Z DED NAO', a comic displaying a styalized rendition of Manteus Rem's face with X's drawn over the eyes. The books were flash-purged by prepared teams of wizards, as were the suddenly-awake (and fully mad) former priests.

The evacuation team, at this point, gathered the notable abjurers and attempted a dimensional gate-out with all those who wanted to try the escape plan. A few moments later, a computer terminal with an open browser showing a link to 'mww.bearpopsiclecomics.lol/comics/THETRIPDIDNTGOSOGOOD.cmic' appeared. The room was immediately ejected from the (now fairly empty) building.

The book details the final hours of Lemminton's life as the building grew windows, showing the crazed world outside, and part after part of the fortress fell to various manifestations of the comic. In the end, Lemminton reports that a bear in a tweed suit with glasses and a pocketwatch has appeared in his room and informed him that 'He'd better go ahead with sending the book off if he wants to try warning anyone', followed by a general plea by Lemminton not to visit the site.

(11:43:33 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (teldai) (just got home, is gaming happening tonight after all?)
(11:43:55 PM) lordgadigan: (Not gaming night, no. It's just been me, The Legendary Baller, and Cael, so we're doing one of their quests from my site)
(11:44:03 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (teldai) (ah, okay.)
(11:44:07 PM) lordgadigan: (Hope you enjoyed the party, though!)
(11:44:17 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (daveishere55) (but, hello everyone! yes, the party was nice!)
(11:44:22 PM) lordgadigan: (Excellent!)
(11:46:00 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Well, that's disturbing.
(11:46:03 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Also hello!)
(11:47:25 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Hearing this, Zwei immediately makes sure that he and the book are free of comics.
(11:47:51 PM) lordgadigan: Both indeed are, so far as Zwei can tell
(11:49:41 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "It would be best to keep this book away from any network-capable technology, I believe."
(11:49:55 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) "Shit, we may need to get Vashna to look into this at some point. He already mentioned delving into coding for his Echo Prov run."
(11:50:31 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zweirugi nods, "If you want to transcribe it onto safer media, I can destroy the original quite plainly."
(11:50:36 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "From what I hear, Echo Providence may be one of the few places with a reasonable chance of opposing it."
(11:51:30 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum's going to try to illusion-blank the hyperlink page, just in case.
(11:51:47 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Or Zwei can cut it out.
(11:51:50 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Whichever works.
(11:52:05 PM) lordgadigan: Which are you trying first?
(11:52:16 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) In fact, Zwei's likely the better option, given his 'remove from reality' shenanigans.
(11:52:41 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) well, Zweirugi specifically has an Anti-science technique
(11:54:22 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Zwei it is, then. We don't want to risk unleashing cosmic horror in the form of terrible pandimensional MSPaint comics.
(11:55:41 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Failing that, we could initiate The Worst Plan and jettison it into the Thing From Morning Bright timeline)
(11:55:43 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) He'll set the book on a shelf and ready his blade. With a quick horizontal flash-cut style strike, he will try to clean remove the hyperlinked page employing his Coded Being-Slaying Slash in conjunction with Science-Destroyer. If it comes out just fine, with a second flash he'll shred the page with the same applications.
(11:56:05 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (sic it on the Tome I'd say be a better idea)
(11:56:29 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (Gillingman would book him an early grave, so to speak XD)
(11:56:30 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (hah, indeed)
(11:57:02 PM) lordgadigan: A duo of code-and-science-slaying cuts excise the link, and then the page, from the book. The book now registers as safer.
Zwei gets 320,000 XP.
(11:57:44 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Right, then. Time for two to open one.
(11:58:15 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) iZweirugi cringes at the impact and with a smooth slide to the door he opens it
(11:59:31 PM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Somewhat as an aside, Zwei and Caelum now have the ability to unleash utter hell on any world or dimension with an internet-type setup)
(1/12/2014 12:00:24 AM) lordgadigan: Zweirugi opens the door. The door opens to a 60' hallway with a carpet with a purple triangle pattern covering it. There's another door (with no number on it) at the far end of the hall.
Zwei gets 'Opened the '1' Door in an Alt Timeline Library of the Lorekeepers'
(12:00:50 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (...this seems rather significant somehow)
(12:01:12 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Anything notable about the hall?
(12:01:54 AM) lordgadigan: The carpet is magical, but not in any particularly dangerous-seeming way.
(12:02:12 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Hm. Any clues as to its properties?
(12:02:44 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Huh, did Zweirugi feel anything odd opening that door?
(12:02:44 AM) lordgadigan: How much Enchanter and Magewright do you have?
(12:03:04 AM) lordgadigan: Zwei did feel sort of odd and knows it got that award, but there isn't much detail about what exactly triggered or why
(12:03:48 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Up to Apprentice Enchanter (+ lies), no Magewright, some mana-pattern knowledge-skills from Scholar.
(12:05:09 AM) lordgadigan: You are unable to determine what's going on with this carpet
(12:05:19 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zweirugi will 'test' the durability of the door while Cael ponders the hall by lazily using his off-blade to see if it can scratch it.
(12:05:44 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Foiled by upholstry. Curses!
(12:06:16 AM) lordgadigan: He indeed can. It's much harder to cut than any normal door (Durability around something moderately durable for its Level at Level 40's armor), but it isn't something Zwei has a problem cutting.
(12:06:33 AM) lordgadigan: Indeed. Upholstry can be a dastardly thing!
(12:06:34 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (At least we're getting higher up the level-mark)
(12:06:43 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum relays the info. Such as it is.
(12:07:12 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) "Mind if I take this door? I gotta feeling I might like it."
(12:07:31 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "By all means. We shall follow behind."
(12:09:21 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zweirugi will see if he can reasonably remove the "1" Door, likely by cutting the hinges
(12:09:52 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Planning on getting Vashna's bedroom a new door, eh?)
(12:10:43 AM) lordgadigan: Zwei can and does.
Zwei gets-
*'Door 1' from Major Timeline E of the Library of the Lorekeepers- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Fate, 20,000,000 Gold)
'Broke the Numbered Doors for All Future Explorers of Major Timeline E of the Library of the Lorekeepers'
(12:11:11 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Welp.
(12:12:07 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Yessssssss
(12:12:16 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Looks like we'll end up being the only ones to solve this thing, then.)
(12:12:37 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Whatever it is)
(12:12:38 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei is totally that guy, he adjusts his shades and smiles, "Time to make this one count!"
(12:13:38 AM) lordgadigan: (Haha)
(12:14:19 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Continuing on (possibly to find 2), then!
(12:16:59 AM) lordgadigan: The door at the far end is opened. It opens to a square room with doors on the far side (with that door having a gold '4' on it) and the left side (with no number). The walls have tall bookshelves on them, and there are two chairs and a small table with a teapot and two teacups on them. There's a skeletal man in a robe reading a book in one of the chairs; he notably doesn't seem to be paying attention to you two and is focued on his book.
(12:18:21 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) For the record, since he has no stance active atm, Zwei will drop into Thrice-warped stance and shift the door to a sword-shape and carry it on his back with (some of) the others
(12:18:35 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) "I'll let you do introductions" Zwei nods to the reader
(12:19:10 AM) lordgadigan: Hah, k
(12:19:20 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "Good afternoon." Caelum bows politely.
(12:19:51 AM) lordgadigan: "Yes, thank you, hi." The reader mumbles in a raspy voice, clearly not paying attention.
(12:20:12 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Caelum looks at Zwei and gives a vague shrugging gesture.
(12:20:18 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) What books are in this room?
(12:20:37 AM) lordgadigan: The room's topic appears to be the mating habits of sloths.
(12:21:22 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) In that case, on to more interesting pastures: Caelum's going to flip through the Tome of Another's Future to locate the other-numbered doors so the group can pass through them in (presumably the right) order.
(12:21:40 AM) lordgadigan: Processing
(12:21:42 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Not something I'd like to do normally, buuuuut this could take a long, long time otherwise)
(12:22:04 AM) lordgadigan: Looks like you do eventually determine a route that leades through them in order.
(12:23:19 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "I have determined the correct route to pass the doors in order."
(12:23:24 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Routesharing go!
(12:24:06 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) "I guess I've made certian no others can follow then! Let's make the rounds for door 2 then."
(12:26:03 AM) lordgadigan: So you're leaving the reading undead guy and following the route?
(12:26:46 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Does he look like anyone we know?
(12:26:51 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) He seems more interested in sloths, which aren't really of much interest to... well, anyone in the party. Unless Irastor's a budding vetinarian.
(12:27:02 AM) lordgadigan: He does not.
(12:27:35 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei has no business with him yet.
(12:27:41 AM) lordgadigan: k
(12:28:15 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Wallace will do the honors of giving him the suspicious look before we go, just so someone does
(12:29:25 AM) lordgadigan: Hah, k
(12:29:31 AM) lordgadigan: Wallace does so. He seems to not notice
(12:30:23 AM) lordgadigan: Your group enters a corridor
(12:30:39 AM) lordgadigan: The floor is wood, and there are two books about carpentry lying on the floor
(12:30:47 AM) lordgadigan: There's a door at the far end that you're supposed to go through
(12:31:27 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Haha, we'll pick those up. Emmanuel might like them (to continue the whole gardener-Jesus analogy)
(12:36:07 AM) lordgadigan: You get-
'Driving the Nail, An Exploration of Carpentry'- (Item, Antiquity, Earth, 19,000 Gold)
'Build It Strong, Build It Steady, Build It With Wood!'- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Physical, 18,500 Gold)
(12:36:47 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Hm. Not too great. Ah, well. Onwards!
(12:42:21 AM) lordgadigan: You proceed into a a rectangular carpeted area with a door to the left (path route) and to the right; the front half of the rectangular section opens into an indoor ampitheatre. Beneath the seats and in the back wall are large numbers of books, and the ampitheatre stage radiates magic.
(12:43:09 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Book check, and attempt at finding out what's up with the stage.
(12:45:38 AM) lordgadigan: The focus of books in the room is 'great plays and dramas', and the stage seems able to conjure up illusory props. It also is set to spawn books if particularly good performances are head.
(12:45:40 AM) lordgadigan: *held
(12:46:58 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "Intriguing."
(12:47:26 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) "Would be a fun thing to someday have at the Corp. We'd need some talent though, hahaha."
(12:47:39 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Haha, I'm tempted to have Caelum rally up an impromptu acting-out of the Swords-Ascendant Incident)
(12:49:58 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "I am certain that once tales of our exploits have had time to settle, we will have many individuals approach to ask to join our ranks."
(12:51:09 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "This room appears to spawn books if a satisfactory performance is held. Should we try our hand, or continue onwards to the numbered doors?"
(12:52:42 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) "I'd opt to continue, we have no audience."
(12:52:58 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) "Very well."
(12:53:30 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) If there are any particularly notable books at present, he'll snag them before moving on.
(12:55:56 AM) lordgadigan: There's more books with individual titles in here, as well as a couple lower-value unique ones. Grabbing any / all of those? Grabbing mid-value non-uniques?
(12:56:49 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Getting the unique ones and the three most valuable non-uniques, let's say.
(12:57:02 AM) lordgadigan: k
(12:57:11 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) We might pick up an actor at some point. (Heck, Caelum might become one, given his skillset)
(12:57:42 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Besides, uniques are always fun. (Unless they're terrible)
(12:59:19 AM) lordgadigan: You get-
*'The Original Plays of Lathanmyr of Preele'- (Item, Antiquity, Air & Ice, 7,900,000 Gold)
*'Aerentantiquis of Mysannis'- (Item, Antiquity, Physical & Water, 4,500,000 Gold)
2 Tome of Extremely Rare Play Scripts- (Item, Antiquity, Air & Fire, 6,500,000 Gold)
'The Building of Duras-Tar'- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Light, 5,500,000 Gold)
(12:59:40 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) That'll do nicely.
(1:02:20 AM) lordgadigan: Heading along the route?
(1:02:25 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Indeed!
(1:05:36 AM) lordgadigan: You open the door and are greeted by a room with a blue floor and blue upper walls. Bookshelves with titles relating to fairies are painted onto the walls. There's a door on the far side.
(1:06:47 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) Zwei nods to Caelum and waits at the other door.
(1:07:05 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Painted on?
(1:07:26 AM) lordgadigan: Yes. There aren't any actual bookshelves in here. There's just painted images of bookshelves.
(1:07:31 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (This seems rather familiar. If there's a sealing circle in there...)
(1:08:09 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Oh, those fairies and their glamours. To which end, Caelum tries to see if spreading some Illusion about is able to make the books gettable.
(1:11:23 AM) lordgadigan: That seems to partially work. You're able to create illusory copies of the bookcases, but the interiors of the illusory books are blank
(1:11:37 AM) lordgadigan: As you lack the actual content of the books to craft into your illusion
(1:11:55 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Haha, I was wondering if they were real-made-fake or something.
(1:12:01 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Onwards, then!
(1:14:37 AM) lordgadigan: They do seem to be in a way
(1:14:46 AM) lordgadigan: You just went partway through a fix instead of fully fixing 'em
(1:14:52 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Oh.
(1:14:57 AM) lordgadigan: Proceeding with heading out, or doing more in here?
(1:15:08 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Is Caelum able to properly implement a fix?
(1:16:08 AM) lordgadigan: He might be. You'll have to figure out how, though
(1:16:12 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Hm.
(1:18:33 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) He'll attempt to populate the shelves with books using the painted versions as templates, using his illusion abilities to try and convince the area that the books are actually the real deals, throwing in his mana-pattern-awareness and understanding to further help this along.
(1:19:12 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Ideally, if the real books are in there, enough nudging/providing of physical form will be able to pop them into reality.
(1:20:02 AM) lordgadigan: The area seems to accept that there are 'actual books' there, but they're still devoid of content, so they're not fully realizing themselves beyond your illusion.
(1:22:02 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Hm. Running a little low on ideas, he attempts to use Spell that Targeted Your Weaker Self/The Man Who Lied To Time to grab the things from before they were shoved into the wall-illusion.
(1:22:19 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Spell that Already Targeted Your Weaker Self*
(1:22:53 AM) lordgadigan: Where did you get the StATYWS?
(1:23:01 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) What an acronym.
(1:23:03 AM) lordgadigan: / Can I have text on it?
(1:23:04 AM) lordgadigan: Haha
(1:23:21 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) One of the Wager Fights, I believe.
(1:23:22 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Spell that Already Targeted Your Weaker Self- Possessor may use 'Spell that Already Targeted Your Weaker Self' in conjunction with a 'Magical Attack' or 'Overdrive' action so long as an Illusion Magic spell is cast and no other technique is used. Said action ignores buffs present on target that come from sources below Level 60 that were applied within the last 500 rounds.
(1:23:49 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) In this case he's trying to get around the 'illusioned into being fake' bit.
(1:24:12 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) If necessary he has some Thief stuff for 'stealing from the past' if that's what he has to go with.
(1:25:47 AM) lordgadigan: Caelum manages to rig together a special liar's gate, clock-dial-mouth shimmering in the air, that he can reach through to attack-grab the past echo of one of the books through an illusion. It looks like it'll require a casting of this per book unless you have some way to mass-apply it, though.
Any particular further details on this, or are you randomly grabbing a book?
(1:25:47 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Ah, Holy Festival thread, apparently.
(1:25:50 AM) lordgadigan: k
(1:26:17 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Fortunately, thanks to his equipment, he can cast Liar's Gate for free, now.
(1:28:00 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) He'll go with 'randomly grab' for now, although if any of the titles seem particularly appropriate to his areas of expertise he'll favour those.
(1:31:15 AM) lordgadigan: He gets-
Secret Veils of the Fae- (Weapon, Book, Magic & Illusion, 6,100,000 Gold) +6,100 Magical Attack, +6,100 Defense, +5,000 MIN, +6,000 SPI, 60% Dodge, 60% Resilience if wielder does not possess any Dodge-reducing debuffs
(1:32:49 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) More grabbing! He'll ideally be aiming for ones he can learn from.
(1:33:06 AM) lordgadigan: How is he determining that? Name-based guessing or some other means?
(1:33:59 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Mostly name-based guessing/going for the occasional one which seems unassuming on the offchance it's a lies-within-lies deal.
(1:34:42 AM) lordgadigan: 'Greatest Secrets of the Fae'- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Illusion, 16,500,000 Gold)
(1:34:46 AM) lordgadigan: Proceeding?
(1:34:51 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Yes indeed.
(1:35:33 AM) lordgadigan: 'Amidst the Fae Illusions'- (Item, Antiquity, Illusion & Magic & Earth, 6,900,000 Gold)
(1:35:34 AM) lordgadigan: More?
(1:35:46 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Unless Danger Sense starts pinging, yes.
(1:36:39 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) These all sound rather promising.
(1:37:09 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (I swear, though, if he ends up as some sort of fairy-yak...)
(1:37:17 AM) lordgadigan: It is not.
'Glamours and Tricks: A Guide to Fae Magics'- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Illusion, 6,500,000 Gold)
(General note: I'm fine making books. I just am looking for 'continue' feedback after each one so I don't just sit here for a while typing book names without posting anything)
(1:37:19 AM) lordgadigan: (Haha)
(1:38:32 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Fair enough. He'll grab a few more, hoping to get the more valuable/useful ones of the bunch.
(1:38:55 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Emmanuel will stick Favoured on him for this, too.
(1:40:48 AM) lordgadigan: 'Mystic Glades and Hidden Passages'- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Earth & Illusion, 5,500,000 Gold)
'Secret Kingdoms of the Fae'- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Air, 6,500,000 Gold)
Vexations of the Fairy Kingdom- (Weapon, Book, Illusion, 6,500,000 Gold) +6,500 Magical Attack, 70% inflicts Confusion, 60% inflicts Impaired: Blind, 60% inflicts Hexed: Mystic Backlash
(1:41:27 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (Note to self, obtain Booksmith somewhere)
(1:41:45 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) A couple more, I think, and then moving on to keep this going at some reasonable rate.
(1:44:28 AM) lordgadigan: 'Mysteries of the Forests in the Lands of the Lorekeepers'- (Item, Antiquity, Magic, 7,000,000 Gold)
'Hidden Magics of the Fae'- (Item, Antiquity, Magic, 4,500,000 Gold)
(1:44:46 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Excellent. To the next room!
(1:50:16 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (scamper922) (I need to be heading to sleep here soon)
(1:50:45 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (Gwargh. No fault but my own on dragging things out)
(1:50:48 AM) lordgadigan: You encounter a tower-like chamber with walls painted like clouds. There are three upper levels with open rings in the center but no stairs or ladders up. There's a door to the right (path), left, and straight across in the room on the ground level, and one forward-and-to-the-right two levels up.

(2:26:18 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Into the bag!
(2:26:56 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) After that it's opening the door to the next room on the numbers-path.
(2:29:19 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) (And then likely calling it there, as I expect it's getting late over there)
(2:29:43 AM) lordgadigan: It is an extremely-long (800') hallway with occasional bookshelves on the walls, which otherwise have paintings of brown, red, and deep-blue diamond-shapes on them; there is a door at the far end.
(2:29:45 AM) lordgadigan: Calling it?
(2:29:46 AM) lordgadigan: k
(2:29:49 AM) lordgadigan: I'll post this!

(2:32:27 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Haha, fair enough.
(2:32:38 AM) [Yarr Harr]: (caelzeph) Rather an impressive hall for such a random subject.
(2:32:51 AM) lordgadigan: Indeed!

[Modrageball]

Heading further along the path from the current room?

Anything discernible on the shapes or the books in this hallway? Seems like an odd place to keep them. Zweirugi will examine them for a moment.

Any notable/out-of-place books will be examined, too. The Library being what it is, any number of strange things could be put in random shelves.

If nothing particularly worthwhile shows up from his or Zwei's examination, the path will be followed.

The shapes seem to be decorative. The shelf placement does not seem to indicate any obvious traps or hidden passages, and the general theme of the books in this room is 'Biographies of Novelists Who Were Married to Seacaptains'. Caelum does notice one out-of-place book named 'My Favorite Sword' on one shelf.

Caelum will fire a quick scan off on the thing, noting any Danger Sense-pinging, illusion-messery or the like. Should it not come across as suspect, he'll grab it via illusionary thief-hand.

It does not come off as suspect.

Caelum gets-
'My Favorite Sword'- (Item, Antiquity, Physical & Metal & Water, 700,000 Gold)

[Modrageball]

The book is added to the pile for Zwei's later perusal.

The gang continues off on the trail of numbered doors!

The group opens the far door and enters a small, circular room with three other doors and shelves with books with purple binding. The carpet here is likewise purple, and the doors are painted a deep lilac color.

Zwei would wager money that it tastes like purple.

He'll merely look books over while Cael does his scan.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the books in this room save the 'purple binding (and generally exterior)' theme. They cover subjects ranging from the history of kings to how to bake grandma's ten favorite cornbread muffins to why puffins like the fish they prefer. How thorough a check is being done of the books by Cael, and what sort of books are you taking?

If this is a grab-bag of books, Caelum's fairly sure there's likely to be at least one or two tomes of actual interest. He'll flit about the place, using lies-to-time and his general SPI-granted speed to check them for anything that doesn't fall into the generic-and-uninteresting category. Valuable books or books on interesting subjects (or ones on unusual magics/techniques and the like, especially ones unique to this timeline) are preferable.
Being a small room, he should be able to do it by himself, but if the gang isn't sufficient he'll pop some Scholar-personality illusion-minions to help shoulder some of the workload.

Caelum begins his search of the books. Liar's gate doesn't really help with looking for books, but his speed does.

He gets-

How to Summon Deadly Saws From Midair to Advance Your Daily Gruesome Combat Methods- (Weapon, Book, Metal & Darkness & Spatial, 6,000,000 Gold) +6,000 Ranged Attack, +6,000 Magical Attack, 60% inflicts Wounded, 60% inflicts Wounded: Maimed, 60% inflicts Wounded: Bleeding, 60% inflicts Confusion: Fear

'My Mother the Truck: A Discourse On Atypical Spawn-Related Situations and Their Induction'- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Technology, 8,300,000 Gold)

A Discourse on the Rumbling Caused by the Vibration of the Wings of Monsaalian Sap-Bees on the Thirtieth of the Month of Annstrom in the High Desert of Cenu-Phrek Seven Feet to the West of the Town of Golbedor While Silt-Tree Farmer Erwist Seppmun Was Sleeping on His Zokkley-Cork Bedframe With No Blankets (Because of the Unusually High Temperature for that Time of Year)- (Weapon, Book, Fire & Earth & Wood & Psychic, 7,000,000 Gold) +7,000 Magical Attack, Wielder's 'Magical Attack' actions may deal 700 MIN Damage, 100% inflicts Fatigued: Asleep, 30% inflicts Mindblasted: Stupefied

'Techniques of Merging Enchantment and Golomancy'- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Earth, 4,500,000 Gold)

'How to Make Lily Pads Levitate Through Staring at Them'- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Water & Psychic, 1,500,000 Gold)

Looking for more notables in here?

(3:36:19 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) True. I'm on my phone now which makes posting tri ky, so let's go with "yes, more searching".
(3:36:34 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Because those books are interesting.
(3:37:28 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (caelzeph) Also weird, but hey

Zwei is definitely helping on this room!

Also relevant from earlier:

(8:33:19 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: Haha, I was less going off Liar's Gate and more a literal interpretation of 'lied to time'
(8:33:44 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (lordgadigan) Aha
(8:34:14 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (lordgadigan) That might help some, yeah. It's still more for 'spoof time magic via illusion', but I could see it working a bit for speed-alteration
(8:34:39 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: He pulled it before a couple of times, notably in Donna among other instances.
(8:35:02 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (lordgadigan) k
(8:35:11 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (lordgadigan) I had forgotten that
(8:35:23 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (lordgadigan) (Though in Donna he had far more powers and was higher up his thematic trees)

Zwei helps look!

Your duo locates-

Encyclopedia of Vanished Gods- (Item, Antiquity, Light & Darkness & Spatial & Aether, 7,000,000 Gold)

The Natures of the Arcane and the Divine- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Light & Darkness, 2,300,000 Gold)

Songs of the Humming Trees- (Weapon, Book, Sonic & Wood, 2,300,000 Gold) +2,300 Magical Attack, this item counts as possessing the subtype Instrument

'This Book Is Surprisingly Tasty'- (Item, Antiquity, Earth & Magic, 610,000 Gold)

'Hozzlemeyer's Hooting Tome'- (Item, Antiquity, Air & Earth, 76,000 Gold)

Taking care to stow the books away in the bag, the gang continues on their path to the next numbered door!

The next door opens to a long hall filled with towering bookshelves that all bear copies of the same book 'The Truth Behind the Murder of Alistair Sameshi', though each copy of the book tells a different version of the story. There are two wooden doors on the left-hand wall, two on the right-hand wall (one of which is the '2' door), and one on the far opposite wall.

Interest somewhat piqued, Caelum uses his ability to detect lies and illusion to see if he can find if any of them in the Rashomon-esque mess seem to ping as the actual true account (by process of elimination).
After that, it's through the '2' door!

Zweirugi's eyes go wide, he will start to look over the books to see if any active magic is afoot here. He urges Caelum and Irastor to check as well.

He's not reading them, specifically checking their mana patterns/creation.

Caelum eventually is able to determine that there were originally three editions of the book (all of them collected into this room) that each had a third of the correct story in them.

The book automatically spawns altered copies of itself and actively works to change and retell itself. Beyond that, the room has automatic inter-dimensional book-harvesting processes active searching for other copies of the book, but they have trouble reaching out of this alternate timeline.

Still through door 2?

One sec, Zwei has a thought. . . .

Do the extras count as summons?

In a roundabout sense. If you claim them as items, less so. If they make it out of the thread, they'll be distant enough from their origin that it'll drift into 'no'.

Some summon related stuff will work on them, other stuff won't. What does Zwei have in mind?

Zweirugi will change his stance and flick out his sword. The Blade seems to phase in and out.

He then with a series of lightning-dashes goes up and down the aisles dragging his blade through the books unharmed but attempting to tear them from reality.

(Greater Banishing Slash, Healing HP)

Zwei dashes around the room, cutting all of the books save the first three from reality and leaving the room mostly empty-shelved.

"Mister Caelum, there are the offenders!"

[Modrageball]

Caelum, having no objection, snags the three books with the true account in and then proceeds with Zwei.

Caelum gets-

3 'The Truth Behind the Murder of Alistair Sameshi' (Version Verified to Have 1/3 the True Story In It)- (Item, Antiquity, Light & Darkness, 70,000 Gold)

Zwei gets-

'Opened the '2' Door in an Alt Timeline Library of the Lorekeepers'

The group heads through the '2' door into a square book with three laughing books on pedestals, one with a purple cover, one with a green one, one with a yellow one. All three of them have magic that carries a sense of 'glass' shielding them. There's a door on the far side. The correct path according to the book is actuallly backwards and across that last room through the first door on the left.

Before doing anything, can Zwei sense the title of the book he's in?

What an odd question. Do you mean if he's in a book using Literary Self-Insertion or something?

The group heads through the '2' door into a square book

Assuming it's a room though, he'll wait for mages to study things.

Oh, whoops. Yeah, that post was apparently just full of typos. Haha. It's a room.

Irastor determines that messing with the books (including scanning them) would likely break the fields around them.

Scans do indeed go off with regards to the odd books. Caelum's expecting there to be some sort of trick in play here.

Caelum scans the books. The fields around them shatter into glassy shards of magic, and the books begin levitating and laughing louder. You two are faster and get the first actions of battle against the now-hostile books.

The books are scanning as:
Laughing Tome: Purple (Golem & Magic Being, Level 45)
Laughing Tome: Green (Golem & Magic Being, Level 45)
Laughing Tome: Yellow (Golem & Magic Being, Level 45)

The purple one has offensive magic and drain powers that are focused on Dark Magic and Wizard Magic. The green one has area-manipulation / zone-damage-effects and healing (including weird offensive-heals that heal but stick later damage effects on you) from a mix of Geomancy and Healer Magic. The yellow one has debuffs and lots of sand-related stuff from a mix of Enchantment and Geomancy.

Zweirugi intends to follow up Caelum's action as insurance, presuming the Illusionist's methods would likely result in a gentler outcome.

(Notably, I think the non-Zwei part of the party is still invisible with illusion-doubles, which should buy some time)

While the books would definitely be worth reading, the issue of their aggressive attitude will have to be solved first.
Caelum decides that green book is likely going to be the most problematic and, should Zwei not immediately deal with it, will blast it from below (with an illusion misdirecting it to think the attack will come from above) using a Sky Serpent's Wrath. The Casting Bracelet is going to be thrown into the mix to try to land Charm on the thing. He's not trying to shred it, either- he wants to leave the book in a readable state should it come to having to kill it.

(I keep forgetting capabilities)

Zwei moves to follow up with a quick 'Z' of slashes from his blade, each hit only lightly tapping each book.

Tri-Slash: All Three Targets, Heals MP
He's opting to 100% Inflict Charm/Paralyzed/Stat-Drained and 75% Mystic Seal/Temporal Stasis
(Wielder ignores the Resistances, Immunities, and Reflections of individuals below Level 60)

Zwei taps the three books in a Z-shaped strike. The Green Tome manages to get Charmed and Temporally Frozen. The others resist the infliction attemps.

A fake snake (far smaller than the normal one due to room size) emerges from a giant casting circle that takes up the ceiling of the room. Meanwhile, the real snake shoots up from a veiled circle on the floor. The serpent deals damage to the two books (avoiding destroying them due to Caelum's intent) and leaves the Yellow book scourged of its animating magics.

The Purple book begins quickly flipping through its pages and releases a dark fog throughout the room. Zwei and Caelum are unaffected and can just generally avoid the stuff's effects / move it away if it is obscuring their vision.

Zweirugi, looking to swiftly stop the last book before the gas may mess up the lower level folks, will use the same move but tilt it to an 'N' tracing over just the rambunctious purple book.

Three more strokes! Charmed and Stat Drained! The purple book has been calmed. The green and purple may break the effects at some point, but they're holding steady for now.

Caelum will attempt to discern if removing their animating magic will make them useless to learn from. If not, he'll attempt to remove it via Genesis Architect (Control of Life, Life Manipulation) unless it seems like they'll stay non-ornery (flipping through the Tome of Another's Future to see if this is the case). If that doesn't work and it's suggested they can't be permanently calmed, Caelum will continue with the (careful) book-beatdown as was the case with the Yellow tome. Again, unless this would make them useless.

Caelum thinks it would reduce their power and make them not able to act as pets, but they'd still be useful resources for studying magic. Still going with it?

Different tack! He'll try using his extensive skill with Illusion and Illusion Magic, along with a bit of Life-manipulation/control to see if he can tweak them such that they now recognise him as their owner/the source of their animation, aided by the Charm-daze. He's also got a few Mentalist/Enchanter/Wizard etc things to act as assistance-backing- Caelum's got a wide base.

Which book will Caelum be doing this to first?

Green. It seems the most useful to him/likely to mesh best with his skillset, and has proven the most susceptible to being hit with effects thus far.

Son, it works. But only for that one.

Do you have other tricks up your sleeve to apply to others, or should I just stat the one for you?

[Modrageball]

(I think Zwei has Wish-effects on his blade. If Draconics wants to use that to snag the other book, that'll happen. If not, de-animation occurs as planned)

(Zwei's saving his wishes atm)

Right, then. The Green Book is permacontrolled, and he'll remove the animating magics of the Purple Book, preferably in such a way that he can bring it back later once he's got enough experience to do so under his control.

I've started statting this sucker at least four different times, and it has stalled me each one. This time, instead of jumping into the statting, I'm going to provide an outline. Since one of you guys tried statting it before to jog my energy, I open the floor to trying to stat it again based on this. If you don't, I'll give it another whirl some time, with the outline hopefully increasing my focus / effectiveness in actually getting it done.

Laughing Tome: Green (Golem & Magic Being, Level 45)

Things this thing's statblock needs (some of which will probably need careful rules-wording to make sure they behave as intended since they're operating not-quite-as-per-normal):

* Abilities: Ability for Single-target damage Earth/Life/Magic/Moon pick from that set on hit. Ability for AOE Damage, same powerset. Ability for Create Zone -> Base elements + aforementioned.
* CE that ups To Hit if Purple present. CE that ups Dodge if Yellow present. CE that ups Resilience if another Green present.
* Constant effect to 1/round convert Healer Magic buff into Phantom Terrain that allows Tome to 1/battle/person-buff-taken-from cause attack of said person to automatically miss if <80.
* AOE Heal ability
* AOE Heal that undoes self after 3 rounds, does damage on rounds 3, 4, and 5. Rounds 4 and 5 have their damage come from a debuff. Round 3's HP loss and Damage come from the HP given to the target itself being altered by ability text (to prevent remove-debuff from stopping this), probably needs funky wording (as do several of these things).
* Single target version of the above, but user chooses number of rounds, 2-20, at which initial HP Healing is undone on.
* Constant Effect that lets possessor choose not to take actions on the round if in two phantom terrains to grant an ally the single-target ability mentioned above as a non-stacking buff, but in a wish-magic-worded way that has it coming from the Tome if the tome is in the same battlespace and alive and from a fake-wish-magic tome from enemy list if it is not.
* Ability, cure minor/moderate status effects, allows multiple targets if in Zone/T/PT created by caster.
* Ability to create PT, basic in-stock set, up to 4 stacked from this tome as source.
* Ability to move PT to another battlespace if no >79 object in target space.
* Ability to move caster and up to 80 allies to battlespace containing tome's PT if no >79 object entering/leaving.
* Trio set of abilities, referenced in next bullet point: First is Damage + optional heal + buff or debuff that affects up to three stats and is magnified if tome has 2 or more Zones and/or PTs (combined) in battlespace of target at time of application, does not stack. Second is inflict Manablast, no natural recovery, added effect on status effect of auto-inflicting Zone-element-relevant moderate status effect if base element (no hope, yes light, list elements instead of saying base). Third creates zone, in zone, effect creator can undo healing on current or last round 1/round at end of anyone's action if healing not from >79 and not from >20 levels on user.
* It needs six abilities that come into play after the other two laughing tomes use their powers, three per, each corresponding with one of the three powers above and one of the powers of the other tome. If the power above and a power from the other tome that is in its set (its sets are set up differently) gets used, it unlocks, till end of battle, the corresponding ability on this tome. Said unlock, however, should be phrased so that it isn't a buff or a removable condition (except through time-style action-undo or the like) and instead is something that can only be activated once the conditional has been met. Each of those sets needs an attack ability, a status-infliction ability, and a complex geomantic ability that plays with rule-sets while attached to zones in a way that only affects individuals that consent or are below the level bracket above the Tome. The abilities should be set up to play to the green's themes with the others' themes as subthemes. Green + Purple + Damage also blows up zones controlled by target, adding damage to its base damage (so it can be multiplied) based on the number it blows up, also plus HP-lost-drained-as-MP. Green + Purple + Status applies minor effect, no auto-recover, added effect of taking damage upon creating zone / moving battlespace / entering zone, HP lost goes to green or green's controller, counts as drain but only for purposes of effects that increase the amount the gaining-side gains from the drain. Green + Purple + Zone = Zone of Green's element set + own-element non-stacking damage-at-round-start that sticks to opponents in it and copies the zone to battlespaces they enter if they switch battlespaces. Green + Yellow + Damage adds debuff that reduces Defense and then does damage at start of round per number of terrain / phantom terrain possessor is in based on amount of Defense lost (multiplied enough to make it effective), doesn't stack. Green + Yellow + Effect adds To-Hit loss and forced count-as-in-desert-phantom-terrain effect to Entombed, also applies two minors with no auto-recover. Green + Yellow + Zone creates a zone that penalizes to-hit of opponents, adds 20x stacking debuff to them when they miss that damages them on miss, lowers their To Hit, and causes Damage they heal to be unhealed after three rounds with a 5xstacks% chance of triggering.
* Ability to exchange one of appropriate trio-abilities or own trio-ability for own-trio or appropriate-trio on one of the other two tome types, max one exchanged at a time, exchange in form of buff, exchange can't put trio-ability for unassociated tome on third tome.
* Constant Effect that if possessor of equivalent-ish but differently named constant effect on purple and ditto on yellow both (two seperate entities) act earlier in same round, possessor, for actions, may ignore up to one stat-reducing debuff on itself.
* Constant Effect that optionally allows possessor to count abilities that deal with Healing/Health (specific ones) as involving Healer Magic spells. Also lets possessor count as having Healer and two lower-tier tier abilites.
* Same deal for Geomancer, but on things that affect Zones/T/PT.
* Ability -> Create zone, elements as base, plus light, minus hope, not worded as base but as elements listed out, deals damage as appropriate to element, flat, at round-start to all within except caster and designated-on-creation allies of caster, also low-mid inflict corresponding moderate negative on said individuals.
* Ability -> Deal Flat damage to target, must have appropriate zone up with effect from the above ability on it to use, ability deals high amount of Flat Damage.
* Ability -> Deal moderate Life Flat Damage, pierces defense except against Life, only against targets previously healed during thread by caster.
* Constant Effect, regens MP based on number of zones in same battlespace that it created that have been around for at least 3 rounds while it has also been around, also regens HP based on number of opponents in same battlespace healed by it on previous rounds, both cap at a limit.
* It needs a Constant Effect that makes it equippable as a Tome. Approximate value 36,000,000. Attack bonus and general stat bonuses. Have it grant 3 fake abilities for Geomancy and Healer Magic each, no names, just count as having more. Have it let that wielder spend an action to exclude under-60s from Zones/T/PT if from source that is wielder or that consents or that is under 55. Have it be able to turn healing dealt by wielder into damage at a cost of HP from wielder equal to amount converted. Have it assign three of the Tome's abilities to the wielder as monster-style abilities possessed by wielder. Make it the direct-damage from the Green set, the status from the Green-after-Purple, and the area from the Green-after-yellow.
* 90% Magic Resistance, 90% Light Resistance, 90% Earth Resistance, 90% Water Resistance, 90% Air Resistance, Pain Immunity, Confusion Immunity, Impaired Immunity, Poison Immunity, Diseased Immunity, Fatigued Immunity, 90% Minor Status Effect Resistance, 45% Moderate Status Effect Resistance
* Golem as subtype.
* Enchanted Tome- Possessor gains the subtype Magic Being, gains +# MP, gains +# MIN, and gains +# SPI, Constant Effect
* Ability -> If caster has own will-be-lost HP on self from earlier ability (not as buff droppability-wise, we need to word the abilities so it can stick the effect on itself not as a buff so that it can't be dropped per buffs as normal, might allow nondroppable buffs, though), and has three different zones with effects from own abilities (natural abilities, three different ones), apply buff to self to reflect <60 actions of preferred element set

The book is stowed for now, Caelum sensing some problematic nature around it to be dealt with later.

The group heads through the '2' door into a square book with three laughing books on pedestals, one with a purple cover, one with a green one, one with a yellow one. All three of them have magic that carries a sense of 'glass' shielding them. There's a door on the far side. The correct path according to the book is actuallly backwards and across that last room through the first door on the left.

(Brief further overview: The duo is exploring the alternate (and less-looted) Library in an (apparently new) timeline to gain artifacts, uniques and/or treasures with a view to boosting the guild with anything that doesn't fit them personally. They're also looking for knowledge, spells, schools of magic/skill and the like not native, known or common to the primary timeline. To expedite matters, Caelum has been reading Kribamemylek, Tome which Tells of Another's Future focused on Zwei's potential choices to steer them right. Right now, this means they're following a curious numbered-door pattern while remaining on the look-out for opportunities to pick up interesting treasures.
Also, they found a group of alt-timeline adventurers and BA members on a quest (in actuality, an alternate version of the first-ever BA quest) for the Tome of the Lorekeepers that, due to being removed from reality, would have killed them if they entered the hole-that-was-its-room. Caelum used his vast powers over illusion to lead them on a merry (and very profitable) chase through the library and treasure-rooms to a fake book-room, where, upon returning to Nexus, they would find the book was in fact an account on how the real tome was no longer there and would have killed them to pursue, Gillingman's involvement to further convince them not to reattempt, along with an invitation to the primary-timeline Three of Swords Corp if they manage to breach the temporal barrier, and a general pep-talk on how much potential they have. The route they would be led on would be one in which they weren't in danger of dying, yet would be able to pick up some very nice loot for themselves to help give them a good start on their own paths of potential.


The group presently includes Caelum, Zwei, Emmanuel, Irastor and Wallace. Incidental extras are five Scanning Eyes, a Great Tengu, a Lesser Treant and a Fruit Dragon.

Notables: Caelum, Zwei and Irastor all have copies of Open Gate to Standard Timeline and Open Gate to Nexus.
Zwei has Goggles of Temporal Vision that allows him to perceive the alternate timelines Caelum is able to access while the Liar's Gate is up. He also has a seriously sweet pair of sunglasses that manifested themselves upon his face due to cosmic misunderstanding.
Irastor is wearing a Phoenix Cloak, has 5 Phoenix Plumes on him, and is carrying a couple of Elder Symbols that, while he can't quite understand how to use at present, he is studying to figure out as he goes. He also presently has 8 Orb Seals- Physical, Fire, Air, Darkness, Wood, Metal, Life, and Illusion.

Caelum has Danger Sense.

Both Cael and Zwei have learned:
Secret Door Detection- (Passive Ability, Thief) Possessor treats Large Structures as though they possessed 5% less Resilience

Cael, Zwei and the Unique-Crew have a stacking of Serenity on them:
Serenity- Target gains immunity to minor negative status effects from sources below Level 40, moderate negative status effects from sources below Level 40, and stat damage from sources below Level 40, Light & Air, 100,000 MP)

The duo continue where they left off, following the path of numbered doors! Caelum pauses in case Zwei wants to remove Door 2 to bring with him as well.

Zweirugi, now seeing the books settle or incapacitated, iaijutsu style slices his blade. The hinges of the #2 door each being cut in the apparent singular swing.

Zwei gets-
*'Door 2' from Major Timeline E of the Library of the Lorekeepers- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Fate, 20,000,000 Gold)

Zweirugi will carefully place it flat with the other one and nod that he's ready to continue!

Nodding in return, Caelum once again looks at the Book of Another's Future's directions to the next door and likely obstacles/treasures on the way, then leads on.

The group heads into a room filled with books on mantises of various types. The room is long, but reasonably thin, being 8' wide and 76' long. There is a door at the far side.

Caelum and the Scanning Eyes will check out the shelves as the duo continues to the far end, picking up any books that stand out as notably valuable or unusual (unless the book or Danger Sense suggests grabbing them would be unwise).

Danger sense registers 'MANTIS!: A Pop-Up Experience' as vaguely dangerous, but not really.

If the book itself is valuable, it'll get a solid illusion-binding wrapped around it (Create Tactile Illusions, Create Long-Lasting Illusions, Illusionist/Unreality Coordinator) and then straight into the bag. Otherwise, they'll skip it.

By what standard are you considering things valuable? For low-Level people, yeah. For adventurers of your level, probably not.

Unusual elements/uniques/gold value in the several-millions/obviously provides knowledge of strange and unusual skills, in this case.

If it's not all that impressive, the gang will continue on to the next room as directed.

The group heads into a cylindrical room filled with books that glow with phantom light. Ghosts and ghost insects seems to be the primary topics. There are three other doors, with the four doors having equal spacing between them.

Caelum and the Scanning Eyes once again make a quick circuit to find the most notable/valuable/unique tomes, checking suitable contenders with Danger Sense on the way and picking up those that don't provoke the Bad Stuff alarm.

Once that's done, he'll check the Book of Another's Future for the next door on their journey to venture through each of those weird numbered fate-doors.

Zweirugi will idle patiently, taking in the rooms architecture while he enjoys his current cig.

Caelum gets-

'The Ghost Moths of Lenguu'Phair'- (Item, Antiquity, Darkness & Air & Psychic, 14,500,000 Gold)
'Undying Corpse-Insects and Their Most Common Invasion Tactics'- (Item, Antiquity, Darkness, 2,100,000 Gold)

The group opens a door into a corridor with walls and ceiling painted like open sky. The floor is an orange carpet, and there is a wood door at the far end. The notion of books whistles its way through the walls.

The quest for Door 3 (and treasures on the way) continues, with Caelum briefly checking the Book of Another's future for potential unpleasant surprises in this room before setting off to open the door at the far end via illusory attendant.

He attempts to see if a little Channeling to a focused point would manifest a book, given the room's conceptual potential for book-ness. Perhaps his other self, with their ability for wind-reading, would have an easier time of it, he muses.

[Modrageball]

(Post indicating that I have seen this thread and signifying that Zwei is taking no action at this time.)

Zwei and Caelum are... back in Nexus? With headaches to boot!

It looks like they got the treasure they were looking for, though!

Zwei gets 'Opened All of the Numbered Doors in an Alt Timeline Library of the Lorekeepers'
Zwei and Caelum get 'Lost Some Memories to a Numinous Tome of Devouring in an Alt Timeline Library of the Lorekeepers'
Zwei and Caelum get 1 Fame each.

The duo also now has-
200,000,000 Gold
*Gehlblanze Var-E- (Weapon, Sword, Mystic & Time & Destruction, 185,000,000 Gold) +185,000 Melee Attack, +185,000 MIN, +185,000 SPI, +1,850,000 MP, Wielder's 'Melee Attack', 'Attack with Finesse', 'Powerful Attack', and 'Melee Overdrive' actions deal both HP Damage and MP Damage, Wielder has a 5% chance of gaining an additional action each round (with this action being a bonus action that is placed in turn order normally)
Tome of War's Wisdom- (Permanent Consumable, Grimoire, War & Technology & Magic, 1 Charge, 200,000,000 Gold) User gains 'Basic War Synchronization', 'Basic War Magic Attunement', 20 Bonus Weeks that may only be used on War Mage abilities, 20 Bonus Weeks that may only be used on Warmaster abilities, 20 Bonus Weeks that may only be used on Technomancer Abilities, 20 Bonus Weeks that may only be used on Power Trooper abilities, 20 Bonus Weeks that may only be used on Wizard abilities, 20 Bonus Weeks that may only be used on Umbramancer abilities, 20 Bonus Weeks that may only be used on Seer abilities, and 20 Bonus Weeks

Thread moved for updating and PPT.

(7:22:41 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (lordgadigan) Ah, yes, I'll let you keep the other two doors
(7:22:45 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (lordgadigan) You can give 'em the same stat line
(7:22:50 PM) [yogurtrunsfreenow]: (lordgadigan) With their correct numbers

*'Door 3' from Major Timeline E of the Library of the Lorekeepers- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Fate, 20,000,000 Gold)
*'Door 4' from Major Timeline E of the Library of the Lorekeepers- (Item, Antiquity, Magic & Fate, 20,000,000 Gold)

An Important Notice

Caelum pulled something at the beginning of this quest that you (Gad) specifically wanted to be reminded of.
The duo found out that alt-BA Members (and notable NPCs) from the 'Timeline Reboot' timeline (Major Timeline E) were present in the alt-Library they were visiting!
He saw that their goal was the Tome of the Lorekeepers, and that the alternate Tome had been removed and replaced with a time-void that would have killed several of them.
Caelum sped ahead of them, using long-lasting illusions and misdirections (aided by his being over 20 levels above their highest member- that being Alex at Level 35, the others all being in single digits) combined with the Tome of Another's Future to guide them away from Bad Ends and instead into a section of the library that would provide them with shiny items and promising treasures to both help them on their way and provide them the potential to develop into more powerful, more interesting characters (instead of getting time-ripped and killed by the tome-void).
He also created (successfully) a permanent false 'Tome of the Lorekeepers' for them to end their quest finding in a suitably impressive-looking-room that was set to convince them of its veracity, but change when they left the world into a book politely explaining the situation with regards to the actual Tome (it is no longer reachable, Gillingman himself has removed it from all timelines, leaving a reality-destroying void where it once was), an exhaustively-detailed explanation of everything that could have befallen them if they weren't led off like this, explaining their great potential as alternate past selves of BA Members of the Primary Timeline, and an invitation to contact the Three of Swords once they have more power, the ability and/or the inclination to.

You mentioned wanting to be reminded of this so you could do a general check-up of how their adventure went with these circumstances in play.

Laughing Tome: Green (Golem & Magic Being, Level 45)

Things this thing's statblock needs (some of which will probably need careful rules-wording to make sure they behave as intended since they're operating not-quite-as-per-normal):

* Abilities: Ability for Single-target damage Earth/Life/Magic/Moon pick from that set on hit. Ability for AOE Damage, same powerset. Ability for Create Zone -> Base elements + aforementioned.
* CE that ups To Hit if Purple present. CE that ups Dodge if Yellow present. CE that ups Resilience if another Green present.
* Constant effect to 1/round convert Healer Magic buff into Phantom Terrain that allows Tome to 1/battle/person-buff-taken-from cause attack of said person to automatically miss if <80.
* AOE Heal ability
* AOE Heal that undoes self after 3 rounds, does damage on rounds 3, 4, and 5. Rounds 4 and 5 have their damage come from a debuff. Round 3's HP loss and Damage come from the HP given to the target itself being altered by ability text (to prevent remove-debuff from stopping this), probably needs funky wording (as do several of these things).
* Single target version of the above, but user chooses number of rounds, 2-20, at which initial HP Healing is undone on.
* Constant Effect that lets possessor choose not to take actions on the round if in two phantom terrains to grant an ally the single-target ability mentioned above as a non-stacking buff, but in a wish-magic-worded way that has it coming from the Tome if the tome is in the same battlespace and alive and from a fake-wish-magic tome from enemy list if it is not.
* Ability, cure minor/moderate status effects, allows multiple targets if in Zone/T/PT created by caster.
* Ability to create PT, basic in-stock set, up to 4 stacked from this tome as source.
* Ability to move PT to another battlespace if no >79 object in target space.
* Ability to move caster and up to 80 allies to battlespace containing tome's PT if no >79 object entering/leaving.
* Trio set of abilities, referenced in next bullet point: First is Damage + optional heal + buff or debuff that affects up to three stats and is magnified if tome has 2 or more Zones and/or PTs (combined) in battlespace of target at time of application, does not stack. Second is inflict Manablast, no natural recovery, added effect on status effect of auto-inflicting Zone-element-relevant moderate status effect if base element (no hope, yes light, list elements instead of saying base). Third creates zone, in zone, effect creator can undo healing on current or last round 1/round at end of anyone's action if healing not from >79 and not from >20 levels on user.
* It needs six abilities that come into play after the other two laughing tomes use their powers, three per, each corresponding with one of the three powers above and one of the powers of the other tome. If the power above and a power from the other tome that is in its set (its sets are set up differently) gets used, it unlocks, till end of battle, the corresponding ability on this tome. Said unlock, however, should be phrased so that it isn't a buff or a removable condition (except through time-style action-undo or the like) and instead is something that can only be activated once the conditional has been met. Each of those sets needs an attack ability, a status-infliction ability, and a complex geomantic ability that plays with rule-sets while attached to zones in a way that only affects individuals that consent or are below the level bracket above the Tome. The abilities should be set up to play to the green's themes with the others' themes as subthemes. Green + Purple + Damage also blows up zones controlled by target, adding damage to its base damage (so it can be multiplied) based on the number it blows up, also plus HP-lost-drained-as-MP. Green + Purple + Status applies minor effect, no auto-recover, added effect of taking damage upon creating zone / moving battlespace / entering zone, HP lost goes to green or green's controller, counts as drain but only for purposes of effects that increase the amount the gaining-side gains from the drain. Green + Purple + Zone = Zone of Green's element set + own-element non-stacking damage-at-round-start that sticks to opponents in it and copies the zone to battlespaces they enter if they switch battlespaces. Green + Yellow + Damage adds debuff that reduces Defense and then does damage at start of round per number of terrain / phantom terrain possessor is in based on amount of Defense lost (multiplied enough to make it effective), doesn't stack. Green + Yellow + Effect adds To-Hit loss and forced count-as-in-desert-phantom-terrain effect to Entombed, also applies two minors with no auto-recover. Green + Yellow + Zone creates a zone that penalizes to-hit of opponents, adds 20x stacking debuff to them when they miss that damages them on miss, lowers their To Hit, and causes Damage they heal to be unhealed after three rounds with a 5xstacks% chance of triggering.
* Ability to exchange one of appropriate trio-abilities or own trio-ability for own-trio or appropriate-trio on one of the other two tome types, max one exchanged at a time, exchange in form of buff, exchange can't put trio-ability for unassociated tome on third tome.
* Constant Effect that if possessor of equivalent-ish but differently named constant effect on purple and ditto on yellow both (two seperate entities) act earlier in same round, possessor, for actions, may ignore up to one stat-reducing debuff on itself.
* Constant Effect that optionally allows possessor to count abilities that deal with Healing/Health (specific ones) as involving Healer Magic spells. Also lets possessor count as having Healer and two lower-tier tier abilites.
* Same deal for Geomancer, but on things that affect Zones/T/PT.
* Ability -> Create zone, elements as base, plus light, minus hope, not worded as base but as elements listed out, deals damage as appropriate to element, flat, at round-start to all within except caster and designated-on-creation allies of caster, also low-mid inflict corresponding moderate negative on said individuals.
* Ability -> Deal Flat damage to target, must have appropriate zone up with effect from the above ability on it to use, ability deals high amount of Flat Damage.
* Ability -> Deal moderate Life Flat Damage, pierces defense except against Life, only against targets previously healed during thread by caster.
* Constant Effect, regens MP based on number of zones in same battlespace that it created that have been around for at least 3 rounds while it has also been around, also regens HP based on number of opponents in same battlespace healed by it on previous rounds, both cap at a limit.
* It needs a Constant Effect that makes it equippable as a Tome. Approximate value 36,000,000. Attack bonus and general stat bonuses. Have it grant 3 fake abilities for Geomancy and Healer Magic each, no names, just count as having more. Have it let that wielder spend an action to exclude under-60s from Zones/T/PT if from source that is wielder or that consents or that is under 55. Have it be able to turn healing dealt by wielder into damage at a cost of HP from wielder equal to amount converted. Have it assign three of the Tome's abilities to the wielder as monster-style abilities possessed by wielder. Make it the direct-damage from the Green set, the status from the Green-after-Purple, and the area from the Green-after-yellow.
* 90% Magic Resistance, 90% Light Resistance, 90% Earth Resistance, 90% Water Resistance, 90% Air Resistance, Pain Immunity, Confusion Immunity, Impaired Immunity, Poison Immunity, Diseased Immunity, Fatigued Immunity, 90% Minor Status Effect Resistance, 45% Moderate Status Effect Resistance
* Golem as subtype.
* Enchanted Tome- Possessor gains the subtype Magic Being, gains +# MP, gains +# MIN, and gains +# SPI, Constant Effect
* Ability -> If caster has own will-be-lost HP on self from earlier ability (not as buff droppability-wise, we need to word the abilities so it can stick the effect on itself not as a buff so that it can't be dropped per buffs as normal, might allow nondroppable buffs, though), and has three different zones with effects from own abilities (natural abilities, three different ones), apply buff to self to reflect <60 actions of preferred element set

Should this end up on the Enemy List, it'll need drops.
Potential drop, based off that Tome of Enchantment Constant Effect:

Inanimate Laughing Tome: Green- (Accessory, Tome, Earth & Life & Magic & Moon, 36,000,000 Gold) +36,000 Magical Attack, +36,000 MIN, +36,000 SPI, +360,000 MP, wielder counts as possessing 3 additional Geomancer abilities and 3 additional Healer abilities, wielder may spend an action to exclude a target below Level 60 from Zones, Terrains and/or Phantom Terrains from a source that is either wielder, willing, or below Level 55, wielder may convert healing dealt by wielder into damage provided wielder pays an amount of HP equal to the amount of damage converted in this manner, wielder may spend an action to replicate the ability 'Viridian Set-Up', 'Viridian-Violet Virus' or 'Viridian-Vitellary Vicinity' as if performed by an instance of the entity 'Laughing Tome: Green'

And, given this is one of those weird animated-type enemies, might drop itself as a 1% chance or something. It probably also drops a weird joke book antiquity.



The original text:

Things this thing's statblock needs (some of which will probably need careful rules-wording to make sure they behave as intended since they're operating not-quite-as-per-normal):

* Abilities: Ability for Single-target damage Earth/Life/Magic/Moon pick from that set on hit. Ability for AOE Damage, same powerset. Ability for Create Zone -> Base elements + aforementioned.
* CE that ups To Hit if Purple present. CE that ups Dodge if Yellow present. CE that ups Resilience if another Green present.
* Constant effect to 1/round convert Healer Magic buff into Phantom Terrain that allows Tome to 1/battle/person-buff-taken-from cause attack of said person to automatically miss if <80.
* AOE Heal ability
* AOE Heal that undoes self after 3 rounds, does damage on rounds 3, 4, and 5. Rounds 4 and 5 have their damage come from a debuff. Round 3's HP loss and Damage come from the HP given to the target itself being altered by ability text (to prevent remove-debuff from stopping this), probably needs funky wording (as do several of these things).
* Single target version of the above, but user chooses number of rounds, 2-20, at which initial HP Healing is undone on.
* Constant Effect that lets possessor choose not to take actions on the round if in two phantom terrains to grant an ally the single-target ability mentioned above as a non-stacking buff, but in a wish-magic-worded way that has it coming from the Tome if the tome is in the same battlespace and alive and from a fake-wish-magic tome from enemy list if it is not.
* Ability, cure minor/moderate status effects, allows multiple targets if in Zone/T/PT created by caster.
* Ability to create PT, basic in-stock set, up to 4 stacked from this tome as source.
* Ability to move PT to another battlespace if no >79 object in target space.
* Ability to move caster and up to 80 allies to battlespace containing tome's PT if no >79 object entering/leaving.
* Trio set of abilities, referenced in next bullet point: First is Damage + optional heal + buff or debuff that affects up to three stats and is magnified if tome has 2 or more Zones and/or PTs (combined) in battlespace of target at time of application, does not stack. Second is inflict Manablast, no natural recovery, added effect on status effect of auto-inflicting Zone-element-relevant moderate status effect if base element (no hope, yes light, list elements instead of saying base). Third creates zone, in zone, effect creator can undo healing on current or last round 1/round at end of anyone's action if healing not from >79 and not from >20 levels on user.
* It needs six abilities that come into play after the other two laughing tomes use their powers, three per, each corresponding with one of the three powers above and one of the powers of the other tome. If the power above and a power from the other tome that is in its set (its sets are set up differently) gets used, it unlocks, till end of battle, the corresponding ability on this tome. Said unlock, however, should be phrased so that it isn't a buff or a removable condition (except through time-style action-undo or the like) and instead is something that can only be activated once the conditional has been met. Each of those sets needs an attack ability, a status-infliction ability, and a complex geomantic ability that plays with rule-sets while attached to zones in a way that only affects individuals that consent or are below the level bracket above the Tome. The abilities should be set up to play to the green's themes with the others' themes as subthemes. Green + Purple + Damage also blows up zones controlled by target, adding damage to its base damage (so it can be multiplied) based on the number it blows up, also plus HP-lost-drained-as-MP. Green + Purple + Status applies minor effect, no auto-recover, added effect of taking damage upon creating zone / moving battlespace / entering zone, HP lost goes to green or green's controller, counts as drain but only for purposes of effects that increase the amount the gaining-side gains from the drain. Green + Purple + Zone = Zone of Green's element set + own-element non-stacking damage-at-round-start that sticks to opponents in it and copies the zone to battlespaces they enter if they switch battlespaces. Green + Yellow + Damage adds debuff that reduces Defense and then does damage at start of round per number of terrain / phantom terrain possessor is in based on amount of Defense lost (multiplied enough to make it effective), doesn't stack. Green + Yellow + Effect adds To-Hit loss and forced count-as-in-desert-phantom-terrain effect to Entombed, also applies two minors with no auto-recover. Green + Yellow + Zone creates a zone that penalizes to-hit of opponents, adds 20x stacking debuff to them when they miss that damages them on miss, lowers their To Hit, and causes Damage they heal to be unhealed after three rounds with a 5xstacks% chance of triggering.
* Ability to exchange one of appropriate trio-abilities or own trio-ability for own-trio or appropriate-trio on one of the other two tome types, max one exchanged at a time, exchange in form of buff, exchange can't put trio-ability for unassociated tome on third tome.
* Constant Effect that if possessor of equivalent-ish but differently named constant effect on purple and ditto on yellow both (two seperate entities) act earlier in same round, possessor, for actions, may ignore up to one stat-reducing debuff on itself.
* Constant Effect that optionally allows possessor to count abilities that deal with Healing/Health (specific ones) as involving Healer Magic spells. Also lets possessor count as having Healer and two lower-tier tier abilites.
* Same deal for Geomancer, but on things that affect Zones/T/PT.
* Ability -> Create zone, elements as base, plus light, minus hope, not worded as base but as elements listed out, deals damage as appropriate to element, flat, at round-start to all within except caster and designated-on-creation allies of caster, also low-mid inflict corresponding moderate negative on said individuals.
* Ability -> Deal Flat damage to target, must have appropriate zone up with effect from the above ability on it to use, ability deals high amount of Flat Damage.
* Ability -> Deal moderate Life Flat Damage, pierces defense except against Life, only against targets previously healed during thread by caster.
* Constant Effect, regens MP based on number of zones in same battlespace that it created that have been around for at least 3 rounds while it has also been around, also regens HP based on number of opponents in same battlespace healed by it on previous rounds, both cap at a limit.
* It needs a Constant Effect that makes it equippable as a Tome. Approximate value 36,000,000. Attack bonus and general stat bonuses. Have it grant 3 fake abilities for Geomancy and Healer Magic each, no names, just count as having more. Have it let that wielder spend an action to exclude under-60s from Zones/T/PT if from source that is wielder or that consents or that is under 55. Have it be able to turn healing dealt by wielder into damage at a cost of HP from wielder equal to amount converted. Have it assign three of the Tome's abilities to the wielder as monster-style abilities possessed by wielder. Make it the direct-damage from the Green set, the status from the Green-after-Purple, and the area from the Green-after-yellow.
* 90% Magic Resistance, 90% Light Resistance, 90% Earth Resistance, 90% Water Resistance, 90% Air Resistance, Pain Immunity, Confusion Immunity, Impaired Immunity, Poison Immunity, Diseased Immunity, Fatigued Immunity, 90% Minor Status Effect Resistance, 45% Moderate Status Effect Resistance
* Golem as subtype.
* Enchanted Tome- Possessor gains the subtype Magic Being, gains +# MP, gains +# MIN, and gains +# SPI, Constant Effect
* Ability -> If caster has own will-be-lost HP on self from earlier ability (not as buff droppability-wise, we need to word the abilities so it can stick the effect on itself not as a buff so that it can't be dropped per buffs as normal, might allow nondroppable buffs, though), and has three different zones with effects from own abilities (natural abilities, three different ones), apply buff to self to reflect <60 actions of preferred element set

Sans the Green tome, Zweirugi is updated.

The Shop and Caelum are now updated. Caelum's flipped the air-and-aeromancy related tomes to Cael and those murder-mystery books to Rosaline.

[Modrageball]

And that's the thread. The bits in question still hanging around that need a look-over:

It was mentioned that this thing was weird, and that it had Earth/Life/Magic/Moon combo as its primary 'thing', with the ability to pick from said elements. I extrapolated.

Presently, it's only #'d. Hopefully this is enough to deal with the issues it caused.

Should this end up on the Enemy List, it'll need drops.
Potential drop, based off that Tome of Enchantment Constant Effect:

Inanimate Laughing Tome: Green- (Accessory, Tome, Earth & Life & Magic & Moon, 36,000,000 Gold) +36,000 Magical Attack, +36,000 MIN, +36,000 SPI, +360,000 MP, wielder counts as possessing 3 additional Geomancer abilities and 3 additional Healer abilities, wielder may spend an action to exclude a target below Level 60 from Zones, Terrains and/or Phantom Terrains from a source that is either wielder, willing, or below Level 55, wielder may convert healing dealt by wielder into damage provided wielder pays an amount of HP equal to the amount of damage converted in this manner, wielder may spend an action to replicate the ability 'Viridian Set-Up', 'Viridian-Violet Virus' or 'Viridian-Vitellary Vicinity' as if performed by an instance of the entity 'Laughing Tome: Green'

And, given this is one of those weird animated-type enemies, might drop itself as a 1% chance or something. It probably also drops a weird joke book antiquity.



The original text:

Things this thing's statblock needs (some of which will probably need careful rules-wording to make sure they behave as intended since they're operating not-quite-as-per-normal):

* Abilities: Ability for Single-target damage Earth/Life/Magic/Moon pick from that set on hit. Ability for AOE Damage, same powerset. Ability for Create Zone -> Base elements + aforementioned.
* CE that ups To Hit if Purple present. CE that ups Dodge if Yellow present. CE that ups Resilience if another Green present.
* Constant effect to 1/round convert Healer Magic buff into Phantom Terrain that allows Tome to 1/battle/person-buff-taken-from cause attack of said person to automatically miss if <80.
* AOE Heal ability
* AOE Heal that undoes self after 3 rounds, does damage on rounds 3, 4, and 5. Rounds 4 and 5 have their damage come from a debuff. Round 3's HP loss and Damage come from the HP given to the target itself being altered by ability text (to prevent remove-debuff from stopping this), probably needs funky wording (as do several of these things).
* Single target version of the above, but user chooses number of rounds, 2-20, at which initial HP Healing is undone on.
* Constant Effect that lets possessor choose not to take actions on the round if in two phantom terrains to grant an ally the single-target ability mentioned above as a non-stacking buff, but in a wish-magic-worded way that has it coming from the Tome if the tome is in the same battlespace and alive and from a fake-wish-magic tome from enemy list if it is not.
* Ability, cure minor/moderate status effects, allows multiple targets if in Zone/T/PT created by caster.
* Ability to create PT, basic in-stock set, up to 4 stacked from this tome as source.
* Ability to move PT to another battlespace if no >79 object in target space.
* Ability to move caster and up to 80 allies to battlespace containing tome's PT if no >79 object entering/leaving.
* Trio set of abilities, referenced in next bullet point: First is Damage + optional heal + buff or debuff that affects up to three stats and is magnified if tome has 2 or more Zones and/or PTs (combined) in battlespace of target at time of application, does not stack. Second is inflict Manablast, no natural recovery, added effect on status effect of auto-inflicting Zone-element-relevant moderate status effect if base element (no hope, yes light, list elements instead of saying base). Third creates zone, in zone, effect creator can undo healing on current or last round 1/round at end of anyone's action if healing not from >79 and not from >20 levels on user.
* It needs six abilities that come into play after the other two laughing tomes use their powers, three per, each corresponding with one of the three powers above and one of the powers of the other tome. If the power above and a power from the other tome that is in its set (its sets are set up differently) gets used, it unlocks, till end of battle, the corresponding ability on this tome. Said unlock, however, should be phrased so that it isn't a buff or a removable condition (except through time-style action-undo or the like) and instead is something that can only be activated once the conditional has been met. Each of those sets needs an attack ability, a status-infliction ability, and a complex geomantic ability that plays with rule-sets while attached to zones in a way that only affects individuals that consent or are below the level bracket above the Tome. The abilities should be set up to play to the green's themes with the others' themes as subthemes. Green + Purple + Damage also blows up zones controlled by target, adding damage to its base damage (so it can be multiplied) based on the number it blows up, also plus HP-lost-drained-as-MP. Green + Purple + Status applies minor effect, no auto-recover, added effect of taking damage upon creating zone / moving battlespace / entering zone, HP lost goes to green or green's controller, counts as drain but only for purposes of effects that increase the amount the gaining-side gains from the drain. Green + Purple + Zone = Zone of Green's element set + own-element non-stacking damage-at-round-start that sticks to opponents in it and copies the zone to battlespaces they enter if they switch battlespaces. Green + Yellow + Damage adds debuff that reduces Defense and then does damage at start of round per number of terrain / phantom terrain possessor is in based on amount of Defense lost (multiplied enough to make it effective), doesn't stack. Green + Yellow + Effect adds To-Hit loss and forced count-as-in-desert-phantom-terrain effect to Entombed, also applies two minors with no auto-recover. Green + Yellow + Zone creates a zone that penalizes to-hit of opponents, adds 20x stacking debuff to them when they miss that damages them on miss, lowers their To Hit, and causes Damage they heal to be unhealed after three rounds with a 5xstacks% chance of triggering.
* Ability to exchange one of appropriate trio-abilities or own trio-ability for own-trio or appropriate-trio on one of the other two tome types, max one exchanged at a time, exchange in form of buff, exchange can't put trio-ability for unassociated tome on third tome.
* Constant Effect that if possessor of equivalent-ish but differently named constant effect on purple and ditto on yellow both (two seperate entities) act earlier in same round, possessor, for actions, may ignore up to one stat-reducing debuff on itself.
* Constant Effect that optionally allows possessor to count abilities that deal with Healing/Health (specific ones) as involving Healer Magic spells. Also lets possessor count as having Healer and two lower-tier tier abilites.
* Same deal for Geomancer, but on things that affect Zones/T/PT.
* Ability -> Create zone, elements as base, plus light, minus hope, not worded as base but as elements listed out, deals damage as appropriate to element, flat, at round-start to all within except caster and designated-on-creation allies of caster, also low-mid inflict corresponding moderate negative on said individuals.
* Ability -> Deal Flat damage to target, must have appropriate zone up with effect from the above ability on it to use, ability deals high amount of Flat Damage.
* Ability -> Deal moderate Life Flat Damage, pierces defense except against Life, only against targets previously healed during thread by caster.
* Constant Effect, regens MP based on number of zones in same battlespace that it created that have been around for at least 3 rounds while it has also been around, also regens HP based on number of opponents in same battlespace healed by it on previous rounds, both cap at a limit.
* It needs a Constant Effect that makes it equippable as a Tome. Approximate value 36,000,000. Attack bonus and general stat bonuses. Have it grant 3 fake abilities for Geomancy and Healer Magic each, no names, just count as having more. Have it let that wielder spend an action to exclude under-60s from Zones/T/PT if from source that is wielder or that consents or that is under 55. Have it be able to turn healing dealt by wielder into damage at a cost of HP from wielder equal to amount converted. Have it assign three of the Tome's abilities to the wielder as monster-style abilities possessed by wielder. Make it the direct-damage from the Green set, the status from the Green-after-Purple, and the area from the Green-after-yellow.
* 90% Magic Resistance, 90% Light Resistance, 90% Earth Resistance, 90% Water Resistance, 90% Air Resistance, Pain Immunity, Confusion Immunity, Impaired Immunity, Poison Immunity, Diseased Immunity, Fatigued Immunity, 90% Minor Status Effect Resistance, 45% Moderate Status Effect Resistance
* Golem as subtype.
* Enchanted Tome- Possessor gains the subtype Magic Being, gains +# MP, gains +# MIN, and gains +# SPI, Constant Effect
* Ability -> If caster has own will-be-lost HP on self from earlier ability (not as buff droppability-wise, we need to word the abilities so it can stick the effect on itself not as a buff so that it can't be dropped per buffs as normal, might allow nondroppable buffs, though), and has three different zones with effects from own abilities (natural abilities, three different ones), apply buff to self to reflect <60 actions of preferred element set

I'm going to note that some things may get revised huge amounts from the records here if I find what I was originally going for. I have forgotten at this point a large part of the details of some of the things here (even if I do have a reasonably complete picture of some parts of the library in my mind), particularly names and levels. I'm filling stuff out to keep the entities section of Things and the whole of People complete, but I'm working from very vague recollections for now.
