Let's not force ties eh? It's cool if it's special and occasionally useful but so far both ties resulted in severe glitching and derailing, which might result in uh, less than desirable outcome.

Should i be concerned that ultima is just on a spellist of some rando?

Incidentally i'm about 200% sure that Red is one of the guys in this image...
Blue is likely one of the backups of Dancer, although which one i'm not sure if we can discern.

This is moderately concerning.


That or we just met 2 people off THIS list, which is even more concerning

This (plus the fact that she's only level 30) makes me think Red isn't Burner. And Blue doesn't seem to be hurt by dancing, so I don't think she's Dancer either. But they probably are members of the Burner cult and Dancer cult.

Keep in mind that i interpret the second list not as the names for the lords but as the name for their like, right-hand follower. So burner's top dog is "Nuclear witch".
Makes sense?

There is something fucky with last actual -fighting- update on Lang spider.

Your body was alight with the Paradisical power of the land, mind still in a dreaming high off of blood loss, medical drugs, and the pain of your cauterization. Your magic was so strong. Your midnight was calling.

(!Darkness) 14 - [3]+[3]+[3] = 9 - Success!

You could... put everything into this. EVERYTHING. Right to the very edge of death. Your blood begins to boil, but it isn't consumed- red light bleeds out of you instead, powering the sorcery as you command it to HURT this thing. Break it! MAKE IT PAY!

21 HP spent!
HP: [ -18 / 18 ] [COURTING DEATH]
HP paid back immediately!
HP: [ 3 / 18 ]

Where is the damage? Did we just spend HP to spend HP on that one action? it's a success and the second use DID do damage...

Will has been reduced by 4!
The success is correct, but usually in place of that 10 would be the roll result (6 in this case), as seen above.

Also i'm unclear, did we promise not to kill any dancers or not kill any lords? It's a bit ambiguous depending on who you think Blue is, and what she considers "fam"

While a new sword would be complimented by new sword techniques, getting a new spell this early really opens up the magic system and gives way more options for both combat and exploration.
Counterpoint: we have a shroud to teach us spells for free, but we don't exactly have a wellspring of sord techniques.

So the only practical benefit is that we now have an infinite lighter that doesn't produce light? That's an oof.
Combat-wise, touch spells are usually hugely impractical due to ease of dodging them.
It's also useless for sneak attacks as it doesn't appear to do anything a well-placed blow to the head wouldn't.

Kind of underwhelming.

It is a divine power, which stands above magic or psychic powers.

I don't think we even know what that means in practice. Like, what, does carnelian chance not offer a save against it? Doubtful, since it'd be saving against the pain not the power itself.

Black August posted:

It is stronger than a lighter. It causes incredible pain to living beings, leaving little evidence.

From the description i'd assume it would be about as painful as getting branded, which is very painful, granted, but not something a supernatural being can't just shrug off.
It also seems like the pain it inflicts is not inherent to the power, but rather the subject's reaction to the heat, at least from the description. If it's the power itself that causes the pain, well that's a different story.

So that must be one of Burner's cult.

That means both waiting AND murderous intent are right out, we want that dryad to live or at least pass away without the whole parasite infestation going on.

There is a unique argument for it to not have been bleeder (and just being a high-level bleeder cultist) and that's the fact that we don't have the "1 chance missed" text for him...as of yet.

Arete award sounds amazing, so does thuderdraw (but our DX is not good enough to use it)
The 777 armor is hillarious but will probably kill us with anxiety over not being able to wear a suit again.
Whaler would be great, what with being a nodachi and all, but breaking on 12 is a big no-go.

I would love to drink a @ and get the arete award. Coffee plant is cool except we have nothing to brew coffee in, so.

Oh and btw, the grimrist being a jeweled thunder-slayer is a nod to Valkyrie Profile, where it was the first artifact weapon you could get. This is not the first nod to taht series, with something else being described as "Hristian" before and of course the entire premise of the valkyrie class we didn't pick.

That's not a guaranteed night's sleep, that's a teleport to dreamlands... p sure you don't get well-rested by loving around there.

Anyway, the 3AM wares all kinda suck except for the insta-kill, which we don't need right now.

I will vote for

1. Arete award
2. Coffee plant
(now that we know it comes with a grinder/boiler)
3. Deluxifier
Gotta jazz up our suck-sword.

COMEDY OPTION

1. Buy suitable
2. Buy 777 armor

777 suit.

is that the result (“unsuited”) together with the item description (“barely-visible light liquid”) makes me think the potion might be invisibility and that using the suitifier on it might give us a suit version of an invisibility cloak.

That's an incredibly charitable reading, what i'd expect is literally a see-through suit. Which is not useful unless we want to menace people with our unmentionables and we absolutely don't.



That said

Upgrade black silk, put black silk in suitifier

2 things:
Surprised so few people are voting for our best friend, yellow flower.

Also, since the character sheet was updated to remove the potion, but we are still at 6/6 bullets for our revolver, it's now canon that we shot the wolf with our "guns" and every time the text mentions "gun's out" that just means we are flexing menacingly at everything in range.
