I just might be...

He got away from that shepherdess ogress, nonetheless!

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 639):

Or did he gain a loving Ally? :)

13-14 dependents and an enemy...?

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 641):

An Ally? <3

/me Tries to calculate the FP cost to levitate something the size of the Beast of Veroigne.

/me Gives up when it gets to three digits.

How big is it?

"The massive thing lifts its whale sized body off the ground on its stumpy legs...

The firey breath extends 10 yards from its toothy maw."


Sounds pretty big, although no specific type of whale was defined ... the difference between a Beluga (~18 feet & 3,500 pounds)  and Blue whale (up to just over 100 feet and 200,000 -224,000 pounds)  is considerable.

With that reference...doesn't that put you close to the triple digits yourself?

In reply to Aethul (msg # 645):

It is about 30 feet long and can s2allow a sheep whole.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 648):

I am thinking of SM in terms of energy cost...30 yards is SM+7, so energy x8 for a regular spell! Flesh to stone, cost 10x8, is well out...

It's only SM+4.

30 feet, not 30 yards.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 650):

Oh yeah. Hard to tell the difference with these ancient units. Lucky he didn't use cubits...

SM +4 is still 10x5 = 50 points to cast...still too many! Ritual would not work either...would it? Chances of waking a sleeping lizard?

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 651):

As per spell, 1hp of damage will wake stunned


I may not catch up for a bit, travelling a little this weekend

In reply to Narrator (msg # 652):

So until we actually do damage, it will sleep. That does allow for ritual magic, then, right?

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 653):

That would follow... but some in your group are impulsive

In reply to Narrator (msg # 654):

Threatening to remove their fire protection if they attack without waiting for a group consensus may cause them to rethink, one would hope...

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 655):

A will roll at +1 is still a will roll...

I assume Nodwin needs to make a HT roll before he can act again?

In reply to Nodwin Zideqick (msg # 657):

Yes, as long as you are in range.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 655):

True, but bonii help... unless they crit fail!

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 659):

Look, a lot of the limited energy I have for this has been spent hashing out how many animals soneone can create or shaoechange into. I am on the edge of not allowing either of those going forward,just as I want characters to be built from templates prepared (75 pt characters, low point artificers)and all magical entities to come from the standard DF templates from Allies and Summoners because this is getting to be a headache, or at least contributing to the migraine I have now.

Can we kindly refrain from exhaustive pursuits of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin please? It is taking away from the spoons I need to engage with 12 threads, and I have lost track of how many players have left. I think we lost Rosewood over trying to explain that you can't throw caltrops from the roof while reloading a crossbow, althoug I think their home situation has more to do with it.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 660):

My apologies for the headache...that would have been me that started that. Sorry for raising the question when it is not urgent.

Anita also was not trying to do multiple things at once, but just listing multiple actions. I will try to limit posts to containing one action in future to avoid that.

I'll put in a modest plug for not burning out the GM.  Fastest way to do that is to engage them in the banal rules layering.  Some level of discussion is appropriate, but let's not take him for granted.  I have seen game after game killed by this very discussion, when the GM just gives up.
