I'm pretty sure you are okay bob. you don't cast spells freely like some....

However I have lost track over time so I need to check it or this will become much like a Western, where the guns never run out of bullets.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

As long as the bad guys have the same....

...I thought that they already did.

Oh, that's right. Green scaly arms of shieldbreaking +15 don't use charges. Never mind. I retract my earlier statement.

...it's easy to ration when you've got fighting skills to serve as backup (or is it the magic that backs up the fighting skills?).

I guess Jal could try to conserve a little... I have a feeling that running up and poking Mr Green-Arm with that tiny little dagger would be muuuuuuch safer than, say, lobbing a fireball at him from on high.

Friggin' Valentine and his hoidy-toidy self, anyway. Grrrr...

j/k of course... slow day at work (will miracles never cease) and I'm feeling scrappy.

Think of it from Dalmer perspective.


I tossed this guy through a wall, rained debris down on his head, try to crush him with my demonic "kill from a distance" power and the guy isn't even fazed! What do I have to do to kill this guy? The only damage I have done is to his clothing!

Make us take the bad guy's perspective. We want to do that.

Doesn't he know he's the villain? He's not SUPPOSED to win. Sheesh.

Not my fault ol Spooky skipped his gym class to talk to his imaginary friends...

I'll give ya that one.

Sooooo, Val, ol' buddy, ol' pal... since you're not using that mana... *produces a tin cup from some ratty inner pocket of his cloak and holds it out*... care to make a donation?

Alms! Alms for the pooooor!

Well, you see, I don't carry spare mana on me anymore - I put everything on my card.

I could cast a create food spell for you though (that way I can tell if he's serious, or just going to use it to conjure booze)

I have absolutely nothing to add. But my gut hurts from laughing at the exchange. I promise I'll post soon. I just finished spending a huge amount of time preparing for a presentation to the company heads and may actually find some spare time in the near future.

I hope to post this weekend on Cwwllo but don't worry if you are not ready yet, it is mostly to keep things moving the next two rounds until the big stuff happens.

I have nothing to add, but this thread has been hilarious of late

**sheepishly raises hand** I posted!

Two rounds? does this mean that Arien gets two more rounds to live? Woot!

...is Valentine actually 'empathizing' or maybe 'sympathizing' with Jal? I can't hardly believe it!

Loved that post, Bob-o! You nailed it.
