  Dear Citizens Of Twilos
Lightning Bolt from the sky... hmm. Well, sitting around waiting for a stormcloud looking up at the small hole is super, super boring, but PCs are great at that sort of thing. Call Lightning is usually supposed to be targeted towards dudes, not used to split rock.

Still, you hang out, and maybe start thinking about building a rig to raise Tut up the 80 feet or so to the surface.

Then a cloud comes, and Tut bolts the hell out of the rock. It opens a bit!

However, as you might have guessed, Twilos frowns on people trying to mine their way out of town. Given all the variables: your new fame, your long time hanging around the opening waiting for a storm, plus the arrival of a real priest of Apollo at the shrine- people are talking. And pretty soon, the upstairs guard of Stonekeep bricks over the opening, and issues you a statement (alas, not from John Romeo this time):


Citizens of Twilos,

Do not attempt to alter the foundation of your good city. Please stay within its confines. This is your only warning.

Thank you and may the blessing of Isaac be upon you.

Stuart H.M. Burnsides,
Steward of Stonekeep.



The sun turns off, downstairs.

KT: flying is a whole separate thing. It's a great idea, but you'll need Aerodynamics as a NWP in addition to Engineering and Robotics.

However, I agree with the rest of your suggestions, except Metal Shaping. Given that Warp Wood is 2nd circle, and Stone Shape is 3rd circle, Metal Shaping will be 4th circle. It's touch, so while there are combat uses, bending an opponent's sword isn't such a hot one (you'd have to grab his sword). Making a hole in armor is better.

In the meantime, you'll probably just have to resort to the poor druid's Metal Shaping: your proficiencies in weapon and armor smithing.

...

Okay, so Thaka works for the Daughters of Venus for a month.

Theodore works on music production for a month.

KT builds a robot. Okay KT, you've got a Metal Spider. It's got 1 to 6 HD (if you want it to have 6 HD, you can't have any more auto-bots until you gain a new level... 2 HD/level max for robots). I'll assume 6 HD. AC:5, THACO:14 (for 6 HD), and one attack per round for 1d6. It can use poison, but you're limited in how much poison you actually have or can make/find. Party fiat aside, you might just horde all the poison you guys have found, which is rather substantial. I forget how much you guys have though.

Go ahead and roll its hp yourself... each die is 1d8.

We could just keep the poison thing simple and say that each attack, if the victim fails its save, he takes double damage. No paralysis, but I'm offering unlimited poison use and no extra bookkeeping for keeping track of poison supply. Also, the 'double damage' thing, instead of +1d6, makes it so you don't have to roll damage twice. You roll it once, and let me make my save and double damage automatically. Again, the less bookkeeping the better. Sound good?

Rolling summoned monsters and the like is always a pain for me, so please remember to roll for your spider in combat. He'll just go at your own initiative, and you can give him simple telepathic commands. And agreed, no remote- he's not like ZOM-G in that regard.

...

Prince Juice might have inspired vocals, but Theo you're struggling with the new equipment to match everything up soundwise. Too bad you're not a bard.

Well, you get a lot of guys to show up for your offer of work, but few have experience making ice cream that you haven't already killed. Too bad you're not a necromancer. Still, you find 1d4 people who are facile with the machinery and are willing to work for you. For each of them, please roll d% for their overall quality.

...

Good point Thaka, okay, some more xp comes your way. Everyone gets 800 more xp for winning the CCC. I'm keeping track of xp, so you guys don't have to. (This doesn't change anyone's level status from the last update, but some people sure are a bit closer. One more adventure will level a few of you again.)

Sounds like people are looking to investigate the sewers in Rats and Razors. Before moving onto that, let's take another day or so to see who all wants to do more stuff in Twilos.

Hmm, I haven't yet solved the Arena problem. Maybe this weekend if I'm feeling industrious and needing a break from real life, I'll add a new blog page. Hang on gladiators. We can retcon this to no end also. Give me a few days to think on it: also, I'd love to hear suggestions if anyone has something.
