Retech

Ikana isn't exactly that large. It's also magical lava, ash, and rocks. :P

-Grim You create wings of light stone, but they don't seem very good at flying. The life sphere has been used up. -Nex You carry over Tairn safely, as well as the Ivory mage. Finally, you arrive at the base of a huge volcano, with occasional dribbles of lava flowing down the side and falling boulders. -Earth You arrive on the other side of the field, which happens to be the village. The people look at you disapprovingly. -Kemios You note how it seems a massive field northeast of the town has just been incinerated. You also remember about the diamond and the silver dust the helpful person gave you to put on Jen's mountain. -Hakon You are instantly incinerated by the magical fire energy, despite your MK armor, and you awaken at the top of the volcano near Grim.

-Earth Surprisingly, the ring of lava doesn't seem that bad, and you masterfully hope across. You wade through the huge, shallow irrigation river, and end up beside the corn field. -Grim You arrive at the top of the mountain. -Hakon Well that's only on Earth. You're in the underworld! -- Naturally, the lava starts bubbling up into the surface and into your clearing, while fires rage on in the corn field.

Do I count? Quickly, deploy the moon fighters!

-Grim The river is rather wide, and your bridge collapses and melts after growing halfway across. However, you notice that it is more of a ring surrounding the volcano, and that it has some stone platforms floating across. You fall down the volcano to the bank of the river. (Well how would you know? :D) -Earth You notice that the ring of lava is in your way, and might present some trouble. However, you notice that there are stone platforms that are bobbing along the surface. -Nex The corn bursts into flame and it quickly spreads. As you fly overhead, you can't seem to make out any shapes through the wall of flames. -Mather You begin mining and after a few feet, you feel it getting hot. Using your allomancy, you extract a rod of lava, which quickly cools. Suddenly you find yourself trapped inside a ring of fire. +0.1 Allomancy

-Hakon The Lich seems to have disappeared, and taken control of your golem as well. Your head begins to feel a bit better. -Earth You realize that it might be a bit out of your level range at the moment. -Grim You are sucked into the portal and thrown out of the other side. During landing, you ram into Earth and both of you tumble to the floor. As you look around, you notice that you are near the massive volcano that the Ivory mage with Nex and Tairn was trying to get to, in order to block the portal. -Nex "We don't need their pity. We have our hands, and with them, we can grow our own corn! You can destroy it if you need to. No skeleton is growing my corn!" Many people murmur and nod in agreement. You arrive at the corn field.

-Grim The point seem to be exactly the same in every aspect, and they are evenly spaced from you and each other. Your skin begins to burn, and you have a feeling you will spontaneously combust if you remain in the fire plane any longer. -Earth Sorry, I'm not aware of the powers. Which powers did you want? You see the corn field across a field of lava/floating rocks and a wide river of water. -Hakon You wake up in a small clearing within the corn field. It seems to be getting dark and your head hurts tremendously.

-Earth You notice the huge river of lava, and the chunks of rock floating on top of it. You make another mask, with the same properties as the first. -Nex The villagers tentatively come out of their shacks, and the elder pokes you in the chest. "Well have you dealt with the Lich yet?" -Grim (It does more damage, and that is actually hard to describe, but I take it into account) As you remove the sphere from the hawk, it disappears. You tumble down a few hundred feet, where you open a gate to the plane of fire. Suddenly a huge burst of fire erupts from the gate and engulfs your entire field of vision. The Lich seems surprised and attempts to block it with his white elm staff, but is swept away in the flame. Meanwhile, you are pulled into the gate and fall unconcious. As you begin to awaken, you see fire everywhere, but using careful observation, you notice three places nearby where the fire is falling inwards on itself. You begin to feel hotter, and realize that you have begun to materialize. +0.5 Fire magic -Hakon The rustling is none other than your golem, and you begin to relax. Suddenly, the golem smashes you over the head with its large fist, and knocks you unconcious.

-Hakon The Lich seems to have disappeared into the corn field. After running for a bit into the field, you hear some very quiet rustling from your left. -Nex You manage to heal the grevious wound surprisingly, and you recover nicely. +0.2 White magic -Grim You detect that there is roughly a single life sphere left inside the hawk.

If anyone is interested, three to start.

Nope, you'll have to tell me what you're wearing. You can try to change your armor and then cast, but I'll probaly put a penalty anyways, along with the chance that they can hit you while you are weak.

I've basically given the MK armor a +5 roll on blocking a magical attack, and a -5 roll on casting a magical attack. It all depends on what you roll, since the crystals aren't super powerful. Also, it has a +10 against magical traps.

Now that I think about it, the Lich should've just blown your head off, but I decided that he might as well pretend to be nice, then stab you in the back when you felt that he was on your side. :thumbsup:

NPC mage who may "accidentally" cripped and unable to walk, just as you try to climb up a volcano with lava rivers and falling boulders. I mean...yah, you'll do great.

The interesting thing is that Earth is basically next to the objective of the mission, but you need to get the mage there. So I suppose he could be a big help from the other side of the river...of lava.

Dusty, I had repeatedly stated that anyone could colonize the moon. I had also stated that if anyone tried to raise a sufficient military force on the moon in defiance with the neutrality of the moon, then I would destroy said military force. Considering I can't do anything, might as well watch the war.

The inscribed angles theorem is not a proof, imo. I've been taught always to prove things from the basics, cough. My answer would've been worth extra credit. :P

If you draw the radius to point d, you get two isoceles triangles. We can call the center of the triangle O. Then we have triangles AOD and COD as isoceles triangles, so we can say the base angles of AOD are x and the base angles of COD are y. Then we have 2x+2y (adding the angles that form the angles of triangle ACD) equaling 180. Then divide by two to get x+y = 90. Then we notice that the angle D is made of x+y, so therefore angle D is equal to 90. By triangle congruence, Angle B is also 90 degrees. Then we can simply draw the other diameter DB, and we can do the same thing, noting that they are also 90 degrees. Problem solved. :P YAY MATH!

Do we have to prove it from the ground up, or can we use the pythagorean theorem and the stuff about cyclic quadrilaterals?

Nah, I have to finish my homework soon.

Actually I was planning them to be unreachable, due to the magic axes, but you rolled too high and you got one of them. Then I thought of something on the spot. I really had no plan.

What sword?

I normally generate the reward before the quest is completed, so sometimes the reward isn't geared towards someone even in the party. :P

We didn't earn a reward, so no worries xD. How does a group that has become mostly split up decide? Well sometimes it's decided by a roll on who receives it first, or whoever kills the boss first. There's no game mechanic where you can force a decision, but if they take it and your group decides that they were going to sell the weapon, they'd have to take it by force. It's really a player arbitration thing, as I don't do anything but roll the dice and make the events happen. :P

Just putting it out there, not every mission gives a tangible reward for everyone. Sometimes you get a powerful magical artifact, so the party has to decide what to do with it.
