Fort Core [Dungeon builder/core][Narrative driven]

I'm afraid that do to unforeseen circumstances (AKA getting a priority translation job that should have already been finished dropped into my lap) we will experience slight delay to the next chapter. It should be minimal, but I can make no concrete promises.

Ok, between work, and getting caught up in some other projects, I'm once again running very late.
That said, I did have more than enough time to consider how to best resolve a problem, without coming of of as massive jerkwad, but the truth of it is that you guys goofed up, and that bears consequences.
First of, lets deal with the pleasant issues, shall we.
For being willing to experiment to get desirable results, @Umi-san take one fortune die.
And for being self-aware enough to know your plan is more of a statement of intent than a proper plan, take another.
That said, however you look at it, plan "someone make a plan" is quite faulty.
It either requires 121 WP
4+1+1+75+(20*1)+5+5+5+5
or it uses 102 WP as Umi-san totaled and, due to using 20 times more mana at once than is safe for you, causes 20% structural damage to the fort, which in turn would cause 130 damage to your core.
See what the problem is here? But, well, that's the danger of blindly bandwagoning.
Now, my first instinct is to be impartial, let the plan proceed as it was intended, and let you suffer the damage.
But seeing as we are still in the very infancy of this quest here, and mistakes are bound to come, and thus I do not want to scare off the few of you, mine players, this time - and this time only (unless ofc, someone uses a hint to discover that there are problems with the plan, and someone else - or the same person if they have it - then uses a boon to fix/mitigate the problem), I'm resolving this as attempting to do it 121 WP way and running out of WP before the plan is concluded. I am using up the generic boon for it though - some consequences have to be had, or it is not fair play. And preemptively: No, none of you with boons can use them at this point to affect this turn.

All that said, I'm still deep in those other projects, so the best I can promise you (but it is a firm promise, meaning I'm willing to forgo sleep just to finish it up) the resolution will come within the next 48h

The cap is 20 mana at once, then, the same as listed on Dig.

If the damage is from using Pound Earth, would you mind adding a note to PE similar to that on Dig? If it's from using mana in general, would you mind adding a note to that effect onto Emily's Character Sheet, assuming it's not already there?

[] Dig - 1 will per use, (write-in how much mana you intend to use. NOTE if you try using more than 20 Mp per use you will cause structural damage to the fort)

The problem was that you put "Pound earth - 1 Will per use, 400 MP" when we have"MCR 20 Mp safely channeled in one go" on our character sheet and nobody caught it.

How much damage your core can take
you take 1 pod for every 10 points of structural damage your fort sustains
How fast your core health regenerates. Does not affect structural damage of your Fort
How much mana you have available How fast you generate mana How much mana you can safely use in one go How much energy for actions you have. Refills completly at the start of every new day

*Sounds of face meeting desk* Ugh, I'm a goof.

Sigh...Thanks for the leniency QM, I'll remember to check up on things before hopping on bandwagons. I'm usually better than this, I swear.
 
'S OK. We all have our slip-ups and brainfart days. And half the fun of running a quest (At least for me) is seeing what kinds of pits will the players dig up for themselves to fall into.
 
Status update!

I am so, so sorry for delay, but this time it really is not my fault.
I took a nasty fall on Wednesday. Nasty enough that I had a bruise stretching from my left shoulderblade to my left thigh, with a lot of swelling around hipbone. I spent 48 hours on observation, stuffed to the gills with pain meds.
Long story short, my local hospital has strict no cell phone policy, and I have been diagnosed with severe bruising overall, and potentially serious contusions along shoulder and hip, but thankfully, no irreparable damage, or bone fractures. I'll have to go through rehabilitation, but for now I have been released to rest at home.

Writing will go glacially slow, but I'm doing it.
 
No cell phone policy?
So its not enough for them that people in there are already sick, they have to put something on top of it?
 
pretty typical: no cell, no wifi.
Not really, I had the (bad) luck to end up in a hospital twice in the last 6 months.
In both hospitals I had my cell phone on me and in hand pretty much all the time I wasn't sleeping. One of the nurses even gave me a cable to recharge it.
No WiFi though.

Don't know which country you're from, but it seems pretty normal in Germany.

US; likely varies here by hospital chain, but all the ones I've been in don't like patients having cell phones & don't offer public wifi.

I don't know about whether or not they let the patients have cell phones, but here in Florida all the hospitals, hospices, and clinics have public WiFi, and from my experience visiting my grandfather, it does extend into the patient rooms.
