Hmmm. Things are slowly coming together and they seem to be pointing a finger at Colonel Sanders. Notice the Immortal attacking Magus here? That could well be Sanders. If it was somehow important for Sanders to keep Magus from escaping his ghost state, that could potentially explain a lot. Sanders could have set other Immortals against Magus, for example by telling them that Magus is a body snatcher aberration. It also might provide a new motive for Sanders wanting to kill Elliot. With Elliot dead, that would slam the door on the one escape plan Magus had. Also notice that as soon as Sanders gave up on killing Elliot, he opened plan CM by trying to manipulate Sirleck. Whether plan CM is meant to prevent Magus from completing his almost finished escape or to somehow render it moot is uncertain. Aside: The key reason for his no longer wanting to kill Elliot might be that with his part in the murder plans revealed, it would be too dangerous for him to finish them. Immortal or not, making enemies of all of Elliot's friends could not possibly make existence easier for him. He himself said that it was to get out of the path of Les Immortels (who have now sadly been revealed to be non-French) but had not expected them to follow him. I see no reason to disbelieve him.

I hereby pronounce CritterKeeper these forums' Optimus Prime. -
Meh, the Egyptians already knew how to do that.

Hey, you were the one who started to get racy.

That depends on who let the dogs out.

Pffft. He just used subtraction. That's not exactly advanced mathematics.
-
But it's such a common dynastic solution! Hm. Good point. My apologies to our Pharaonic inventor of mathematics.
-
'Legitimate mathematics'? Big talk from the Pharaoh who had frequent cases of incest going on in the families of his kingdom's Heads of Mathematics.

Actually mathematicians in Copenhagen have determined that the hurricane that hit Denmark on December 3, 1999, killing 20 people and doing some 3 billion dollars US worth of property damage was caused by a smilodon farting sometime around 15000 BC. Don't underrate those butterflies. Our descendants may yet come to rue their patient malice.

One possibility: Ellen is magically created. It gives her an advantage with energy buildups; it might also give her an edge when it comes to magic resistance. What Mr. Verres says in the second panel on this page seems to support that.

Honestly? I think Tedd would be more than a little angry, too. Pandora may find herself called to account for her actions by her great-godson/daughter before this is over.

Nonetheless, it is a good thing that we've had you around for another year, for which I am duly grateful. If it makes you feel better, I turn 52 in a few months. (My wife turned 46 earlier this year. For various personal reasons this depressed her. It cheered her somewhat when I told her that she would be the envy of half the States for going from 45 to 46 before the rest of them did.) -
Big talk from the Pharaoh who ruled an entire kingdom based on his subjects' belief that he was a living god.
-
It seems that Ellen is somehow more aware of what is going on than Sirleck and Magus think. Her pulse rate started to quicken as Magus related the plan Pandora had compelled him to follow. I wonder if this is leading up to a "You wouldn't want me to get angry" moment. These have been known to snap or at least temporarily suspend mental control. I am in agreement with this; it seems logical to me.

Huh. I and my friends did not use that interpretation. Partly it was because of the dramatically increasing amount of time it took to memorise spells, I think. If one of our level 12 wizards had expended all their spells it took them eighteen hours of effort to memorise them all anew. According to the rules, you could only spend eight hours a day on memorising spells before you tired too much to maintain the effort. Thus, at that point, it took us three days to go from empty to full. Losing everything overnight would have made that impossible, obviously. It got worse at higher levels. I can not remember precisely how long it took him but there was this 30th level NPC wizard in the campaign. We worked out that if he fired off everything he had, it would take him around half a month to recover everything he had spent.

I have played tabletop RPGs for years. Unfortunately, I just did not have any ideas for your thread. I am sorry.

I think it would be better if you knew it off the cat, anyway. -
I can't even remember seeing that premise done decently. It is too often done for laughs in situations that are not really funny.
-
I am more interested in what happens if he gets hit by gender flipping magic. Will he turn into Madamleck?

The Old Hack replied to Pharaoh RutinTutin's topic in Comic Discussion
Ah, my apologies. I was clearly not paying proper attention. -
You can thank the Pharaoh for those. He needed to find something to do for some of his relatives and thought of the combination tomb-and-toll booth. All they have to do to go to work now is to open the sarcophagus and stagger to the window of the booth and collect taxes just like in the old days.

Sounds reasonable to me. 'Friends and family', to me, includes the families of friends. Welcome back after long absence, Chronos. Just to set matters straight, Chronos was a forumgoer before I was.

I am sorry. I was confusing my linguistic terms. Danish has thirty-two vowel phonemes that can be subdivided into ten phones. English has seven of these.
-
Danish has ten vowel phonemes. We used to have eleven but one has more or less fallen completely out of use. A, E, I, O, U and Y did not cover our needs so we added the extra characters Æ, Ø and Å to our alphabet. Yes, I know that in English the vowel status of U and Y is questionable. We Danes didn't care. We sent them to a retraining camp and now they serve us as full time vowels.
