Whirtlestaffs Wizards Academy Action: in-character thread

[Leif]

OOC for Dalomock: You don't really need to be able to look at a book to make the potions this time around. Just look at your spell book and see what spells you would like to have in potion form, particularly any that you think some priests would be interested in receiving in exchange for healing potions. I'm giving every body a break this time and letting you all do this without cost. If I might be so bold as to make a suggestion, I think that potions of shield, mage armor, protection from evil, protection from chaos, and animate rope would make good choices.

OOC: Incidentally, there is no spell called "Protection from Alignment." It is actually four separate spells: Protection from Evil, Protection from Good, Protection from Law, and Protection from Chaos. When you look at the spell descriptions you will see that they are listed separately. I guess they just combined them on the spell list to save space. *shrug* Since I've made sure that everyone has pretty much every spell that they want, you can just go ahead and take whichever of the four you want, but why would you even want Protection from Good and possibly Protection from Law?

OCC: Gregory already has all four of the protection spell in his book when he was created so everyone has access to them if they wish..

 

[Voda Vosa]

OOC: To protect yourself from you traitor friends of course! Isn't there a "protection from paranoia" spell?

 

[Scotley]

OOC: It isn't paranoia if everyone really is out to get you...

Gregory Malfoy

OCC:::::LAUGHING - Voda Vosa is only you knew how i could truly play a paranoid character.....which does give me several ideas for Gregory's personality so thanks....Leif may as well stock up on antiacid an buttermilk

 

[Leif]

OOC: JA, what do you mean "COULD"??? When have you NOT played a character that was at least what most people would consider quite paranoid? Ahhh, but it just wouldn't be the same without you!

IC: So... let's get back on topic, if we can. A group consisting, so far, of Tylara, Kerlan, Dalomock (I think), Gregory, and maybe a few others, is preparing to visit the nearby temple to trade for some healing potions. Is anybody NOT going?

 

[J. Alexander]

Gregory Malfoy

Gregory is certainly going if for no other reason than to see if the elf and dwarf hold hands while stretching their legs


"Let us be off to see what the priests are willing to trade for and perhaps we can miss what the cafeteria is serving us for lunch ...i hear is is once again beans and cornmbread...They really out to raise tution or cut out a few scholarships if they need to economize to the point of serving us the swill they have been" Gregory says

Sorry, forgot to say that, this time. Only pay xp for these that are made initially. (We assume that you used the Academy's "lab supplies" for these, but you will be expected to pay for any that you make in the future, So you'd better all do some brewing while the brewing is good and free! I'm imposing a limit on the crafting of potions and scrolls, though, and here it is!

The limits are: no more than 5 potions apiece, and scrolls of 7 spells apiece.

If you've already made more than this limit, go ahead and subtract the excess from your sheet. If you're under the limit, you can go ahead and add some more, up to the limit. You can, of course, only make potions/scrolls of spells that you have in your spellbook, but there is just about to be a small pilgrimage made to a temple for the purpose of trading some of your potions/scrolls for some potions of healing, that will increase the groups longevity and survival odds by leaps and bounds!

I am sorry to belabor the point, but at the beginning we were allowed a total of 6 spells(scrolls) and potions...a combo of either to a total of 6.

now the numbers are a bit different and i want to know for sure if that is the total that the acadamy is paying for, for those who wish to expend their own cash for back up scrolls can do so above the limit...right?

OOC: No apology necessary. Yes, I relaxed the former ruling a bit, essentially doubling it to 5 potions and seven scrolls of one spell each. You should also note that it is my ruling that there are certain spells, like magic missile that can target one creature, but still cannot be made into a potion. Perhaps I misread the rule about which spells can make potions, but, to be safe, ask if you have any doubts.

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Are we there yet?
