[OOC] I, the Demon King, Will Summon My Own Damned Heroes!

Accepted!

Ah, this must be what they call a NEET. How odd. Why do you think it is that you're good at some things, like this programming stuff and those "vidya games" you do all the time, and terrible at things you seem to consider "normal," and never do, like talking to people and making friends? It makes your heart beat fast, so you just give up? You can't do it, so you don't even try?

You really want to be a conqueror? Remember this: Every ruler needs soldiers.

Skill Gain: Magic Analysis I - Computer programming is a language of logic and mathematics. Mathematics and logic are objective truths of the universe. How does this relate to analyzing magical energies that manipulate the fabric of reality? You tell me, smart gal. At this level, after seeing a spell used you can only gain generalized information about it.

I guess getting out of the cave is gonna be harder than I thought. The only good thing about this is the experience Puck's getting with flying, taking blows, and shield spamming lol.

@Zeroth Strength-wise, what's the heaviest Puck could carry right now? And how tall are the goblin guarding the entrance?

[Zeroth]

@Gobby
Goblins in general are about 3 feet tall. While flying, Puck could probably only carry about 5 pounds at most, but on the ground he could lift and walk with...let's say up to 15 pounds. Not real sure how the math works on that, a 1 foot tall creature with humanlike proportions, but eh.

[King Cosmos]

@Zeroth hmm, I guess magic sense doesn't tell me more than what I already know about my spells. I'll have to get a look at someone else's casting to learn anything new.

[Gobby]

@Zeroth I'm sure a calculation exists out there that involves one's height and weight to compute lifting strength, but I'm good with 5 and 15 pounds.

Here is a graphic representation of how I'm imaging the scenario Puck is in. And if anybody was wondering, no real training in graphic arts, I'm self thought, just in case people had some requests.

Anyway, just wanted to make sure that the exit isn't that large (maybe 5-10 ft) and that Puck could just stay in crevices and ledges up above the exit itself. And if yes, how high up is the cavern ceiling from the floor?

[Lucius Cypher]

@Zeroth

Aye boss, I edited me post.

[Zeroth]

@King Cosmos
Sorry, I actually forgot about that in my rush to get the post out! I'll add it momentarily!

[Zeroth]

@Lucius Cypher
Accepted!

How interesting, that agriculture--the backbreaking, never ending, monotonous labor--is such a vital part of even your "technologically advanced" world. And yet there are still those who starve. Would it be too cringe worthy of me to call it a "fruitless" endeavor?

Skill Gain: Pacify Animal I - You remember how to handle animals and read their body language. Through your own actions, you have a higher chance than normal of getting a hostile beast to calm down and become neutral towards you.

Skill Gain: Stronger I - Hauling bundles of hay and sacks of grain isn't all about size and muscle, though that certainly helps. Leverage is also a large part of strength, and you remember that. Your raw strength is increased by a minor amount.

Awesome! Also eff you demon king. It’s... Complicated. (Orchid had heard a lot of kids insult her saying that there’s technology that makes her work far easier and more efficient than just making her haul stuff. Kinda makes her a bit of a Luddite.)

So how should I hop in?

[Zeroth]

@Gobby
Shit I gotta stop rushing to get replies out, sorry for the triple post.

The exit arch is about six feet high, and about half that wide. Just enough for a human party to enter single file. The cavern ceiling, however, is more like anywhere from 10-14 feet depending on where you are and the stalactites etc. At least this close to the exit, since it's sloping down at the edge of the mountainside that the cave sits in.

Puck could stay in crevices and ledges, but to get through the exit he'll have to pass under the archway at some point, and the guards are aware of his presence so they'll be watching the air above them regularly.

@Lucius Cypher
AND WE'RE GOING FOR THE QUADRUPLE, CAN I LAND IT?!

The very first IC post includes a bit of a blurb that can apply to everyone's births, though they don't all have to be from the same litters/divisions/egg clutches/etc. It also includes a little bit about the landmarks of the cave, so after reading it you should probably have enough info to come up with something. If not, please let me know and I'll try to answer any questions or point you in a direction.

[Gobby]

@Zeroth No probs man.

Thanks for the info. Puck's might get some deathflags in the next few posts. I'd say YOLO but that kinda has been disproved by now.

EDIT: If anything's unclear about my post or if there's any problem, no worries on bringing it up. Not sure if everything's all good.

EDIT 2: Just realised that the ape goblin was actually the boss option. Oops.

[ReusableSword]

@Zeroth still here just busy.

[Guy0fV4lor]

@knox I'm green not blue

[Lucius Cypher]

Whew. A lot of it is fluff, but Orchid has found a stick and the bonfire!

[Guy0fV4lor]

@Zeroth If it wasn't clear, Jason is training until he receives a notification beyond just "you are having a fast rate of skill progression"

[Zeroth]

Everyone, I got a post up but had to do it from my phone, so the formatting isn’t the same as usual and I hope everything actually went through. Sorry if I missed anyone, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY SINCE THE USUAL BOLD/COLORED EMPHASIS ISNT THERE.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Zeroth

Aww, no Charisma skill for Ash trying to convince Ardur to join up? Looks like I'll have to think of something else...hmm~

[King Cosmos]

@Zeroth has Jacob gotten a clear look at Mourningstar's Mana Orb spell yet? Actually she has the same magic analysis skill, so has she learned the same thing Jacob did about the Shield spell?

[Gobby]

...well, Puck; no system updates for my guy. I guess he'll be the first to say hello to the land of the undead.
