So basically, asking the One True question has no other effect than retelling the obvious and getting us to avoid a totally unrelated event, our visit to the College Arcane? Because in book 1, we learnt (supposedly) about Thayne's family in the middle of the island and we might have thought by...

Being suspicious, we ask for some proof he won't trick us. With our WIS 3, I guess he'll tell us that he won't, and we'll be very happy. After all, how can this guy prove he won't trick us IN THE FUTURE? We're about to give him something he wants, and in return, he'll give us some info. He...

The first is very nice and dynamic. Love it!

It would be fun if the net effect of the measures was to reindustrialize the UK because it's cheaper to import raw materials and manufacture there to send to the US than importing raw materials to the US and manufacturing there. But since the tariffs are somehow calculated on the perceived trade...

If companies choose to eat a part of the tariffs to remain on the US market, their margins will drop, which might prompt them to try to compensate by rising the price in other markets as well. It would be dangerous because the customers might not be able to increase their spending, but it could...

Being alone with a gem like a duck egg with 4 murderhobos sounds... unwise.

The "dead eagle" theme is also improving (with 4o) The glass of wine full to the brim still eludes most models.

Let's get back to the normal flow of the story, in which we have already used a wish for Empowerment. Remember that Trixie was boosted, so our stats and inventory are now this: We arrive in Hakbad, the sprawling metropolis, heart of the Ta'ashim world, a city rich beyond the wildest dreams...

I'll take the opposite stance on this conundrum. In my absolutely honest and unbiased understanding, Landor did recover the two crowns of immense power. Being WIS 3, like anyone in his family (or in his universe, actually), he sent the good crown to the only remaining elf female leader he knows...

It is improving with regard to the "Zeppelin crashing into the Titanic" prompt. I could have given more details about the Titanic, like her being a 4-chimney ship, but it did correctly given the vague prompt. Though somehow, I see it more as the Titanic crashing into a Zeppelin...

It's a ninth-level spell, so admittedly it's normal that it is able to do mass destruction but... honestly, imagine the mayhem one could cause by randomly casting Freedom without any specific creature in mind, causing 1d100 random (but supposedly level-appropriate for a 17th level wizard)...

This is part of the constant criticism toward Carr's ability. "Oh, probably you aren't able to cast Find Familiar by yourself, it must be your father's pseudodragon that is following you around..." Yes, Carr is WIS 3, he could botch his question twice in a row. Admittedly, he didn't know the...

To this day, the meaning of the drawing escapes me. I think it's relevant to the current book, because knowledge from earlier reading makes me recognize that we might soon encounter a well, and a well is on a the drawing. But I have absolutely NO idea what serpent going up a tree to eat an apple...

She's the same Dalris that consistently belittles us when we try to use magic, isn't she? The same Shanif you've been attacking, sword drawn, seconds ago, barely failing to step into the mud monster, irritating him (legitimately) so he attacked us? We could have lost footing without the...

Round 1: Trixie attacks the acolyte right in front of her (7) and inflicts 7 damage. Winny attacks the acolyte right in front of her (10) and inlicts 8 damage, reduced to 7 thanks to armour. Salvia attacks the acolyte right at her right (7) for 5 damage and finishes him off. Esmeralda casts...
