You're in the magic shop of Leefside. Your party member Alina is waiting outside.

You sure? You don't have any Illusion skill right now which you need to cast it. You also wont be able to afford the armour that some anons wanted to buy last episode.

>>1810876

Holy shit, we really are an one trick pony. Ask if he has some cheap books that will raise proficience in other schools like illusion or knows where we can get something like that

>>1810876

That's a good point. Hey OP, could you detail which school of magic each spell belongs to?

Some thing like:

> [ILL] Invisibility (II) (50 Talons)

...

>>1810889

Specialization isn't a bad thing anon. Better to be a master at one thing than a jack of all trades...

>>1810907

Nothing against specialization, but unlike videogames where you can plan your skill tree with anticipation knowing what kind of stuff you can use, we are going blind here. And some of those spells sounds so useful that it is a shame we can't get them due null aptitude with their school.

Alina happily agrees and you teach her some basic abjuration. As you're quite skill in the art you are able to teach her much more than you were when you instructed her in archery.

Eventually the vegetables come again and plunder the farmer's cabbages. You shadow them after they flee. They obliviously lead you to some sort of cave in the hills. To broccoli stand guard at the entrance.

You move unseen to a more open area. A crowd containing dozens of Vegetable men crowd around a single figure. A vegetable man with a pumpkin for a head. He stands in front of a patch of soil, sunlight shines down from an opening in the cavern and resting on the soil are the recently stolen cabbages.

"Brothers rejoice, for the hour of our victory is at hand!"

Alina states: "That pumpkin headed guy sounds like the magic emporium's shop keeper."

The pumpkin continues, gesturing to the cabbages before him. "When I free these warriors from the immobile form the cruel humans have trapped them in, our army will at last be large enough to sack Leefside! And with that fertile farm land we will be able to free even more warriors and claim our rightful place among the civilisations of the world! The future belongs to us vegetables!"

The crowds cheer. You're not sure you have what it takes to take on this entire army...

10-16 damage, instant hit. Of course you have to succeed in casting it. Which you probably wont seeing you have 0% Evocation skill.
>>1810876

>>1812875

Right. Well, there goes that plan...

Mhm. What spells do we have which belong to the Abjuration school of magic?

Could you also list each spell's function? I'm sure I've asked you to do this before, but for the life of me I can't find the descriptions in the archives...

>>1812882
ABJURATION (I)
Alarm (Rigs a small area with an alarm)
Endure Elements (Protects user from harsh environmental temperatures)
Hold Portal (Seals something that can open and close, shut for a short period of time)
Protection from Evil (Increases AC vs "evil" things, many arbitrary categories can replace "evil" when casting this spell eg: protection from good, protection from the french.)
Shield (increases user's AC, deflects magic missiles)

EVOCATION (I)
Magic Missile (magical projectile attack)

>>1812887

Is casting a spell is quite a noticeable act. Will the Vegi-men take notice if we cast a spell?

What other limits are there on casting spells? Mana points? Spell cooldowns? Stuff like that?

I promise that these will be the last obnoxious questions I ask, before we get back to the game...

>>1812896
>Is casting a spell is quite a noticeable act. Will the Vegi-men take notice if we cast a spell?

Not in this situation, casting a spell does have audible incantation but the vegemites aren't paying attention.

>What other limits are there on casting spells? Mana points? Spell cooldowns? Stuff like that?

You need 10*spell level of the appropriate skill to attempt casting a spell. Your chance to succeed casting a spell is skill-(spell level*10). At a skill level of 190% You will always succeed casting even 9th level spells in normal circumstances.

>I promise that these will be the last obnoxious questions I ask, before we get back to the game...

Of course I don't mind. If you want clarification you should feel free to ask anytime.

>>1812900

I don't think we can take out dozens of vegi-men in a straight fight e, even with shield and protection from vegetables. I mean, we're pretty beat up after fighting about half a dozen of them. I originally planned to collapse part of the cave to thin their ranks, but I don't believe we have the means to do that.

So, we'll do the next best thing...

"Oh no, I messed up..."

>>1816540
>"Mhm. Not a bad first attempt. You'll get a hold on it eventually."

You cast shield on yourself

>>1816548
You don't have that spell. Your spell book contains:

ABJURATION (1)
Alarm
Endure Elements
Hold Portal
Protection from Evil
Shield

EVOCATION (1)
Magic Missile

You leave to join the captain on the battlefield.

">Your shield was alright, probably more than enough to deflect a magic missile from a novice invoker"
>"Keep trying you'll get the hang of magic eventually"
>"Make sure you stay well back in the fight ahead. These veggies can be dangerous"
>"You were actually pretty close there, focus on casting abjuration spells during the battle instead of using your bow"

> "Don't be disheartened. Experience is the best teacher. You'll be just that much better next time."

> "Here's my advice. Stay behind the main formation and fire carefully. There will be more friendly combatants in these fights than you are used to, so pick your shots carefully."

> "If you see the pumpkin-headed sorcerer focus your fire on him."

> "Other than that listen to your intuition, and keep a cool head. Just stay out of close quarter confrontations and you'll do fine."

I've got to head out now, so this will probably be my last contribution for tonight. Thanks for running OP...

"I guess, I still feel bad that I wasn't able to help"

You meet up with the captain and three of his veteran guards. They've taken a position at the top of a hill.

>>1816600
You stretch before the battle. Wouldn't want to pull a muscle.

>"So, how do you feel? Ready for the bloody business of the day?"

"Bloody? I was kind of hoping there would be no human casualties. I guess that probably wont happen. I mean I saw that corpse back in Appleby but I've never seen someone die before."

The vegetable army advances from the low ground. Behind their lines is the pumpkin headed sorcerer. At his side are two hulking potato headed men. Your vanguard and there's are facing off, to the sides other mobs of vegetable men are preparing to charge teams of guards and militia.

The captain turns to you and says "I currently intend to hold position, I'm a guard captain not a general do you have any tactical ideas?"

>"Just like you said, hold the line. I doubt their charge will be fierce if they're running up a hill. Attack whatever enemy approaches us"
>"Just focus on the weak ones, the veggies seem to surrender easily after a few of their allies die"
>"You and your men handle the rabble, Alina and I will take care of pumpkin head and his bodyguards."
>"Ignore the soldiers, throw everything at the pumpkin"
>"You and me captain, we can take the important ones, leave the rest of them to Alina and your guards"
>"CHAAAAAARGE!"
>write in

Seeya anon, thanks for adverting my quest on qtg

>>"Just focus on the weak ones, the veggies seem to surrender easily after a few of their allies die"
Have them die in the nastiest, messiest way possible.
Ranged units aim for the pumpkin guy.

to captain and men
>let them wear themselves running up the hill, then hit them hard and fast, make it a slaughter worthy of song and put the fear of death into them, stay close to each other and watch each others backs

You instruct Alina to target the pumpkin, the veteran guards all have crossbows and agree to use them to attack the pumpkin until the enemy reaches melee range.

>"Just focus on the weak ones, the veggies seem to surrender easily after a few of their allies die"

"Alright, but I want the entire army routed, not just the enemy vanguard. If i have a shot at their leader i'm taking it."

The vegetables all scream and yell and start charging. The Pumpkin and his body guards don't charge and hang back.

Your archers fire a volley at the pumpkin but one of the hulking potato men stand in the way and takes all the shots, shrugging off the damage.

The Vegetables make a feeble up-hill charge, 6 enemies engage you.

I'm ending the session here. Thanks for playing everyone. I'll continue again in 6 days at the usual time I start a thread.

(Sorry if the combat seems a little uneventful. I swear the veggies have a 25% to hit you they're just very unlucky.)

>>1816810
Great qst!
By the way OP, what's a called shot?

Thanks m8. A called shot is when you target a specific body part for an attack. It reduces your chance to hit but increases your chance of a critical. Critical hits behave differently depending on the body part hit. The critical here >>1812754 would of caused a knockout effect if the target had survived.

>>1817077

Ha. Just got back...

Seems like we're in a bit of a ... pickle...
