Nyctohylophobia (Perma-death Quest)

Reader mode
Could we cast a spell to create a healing item? Like...enchant a piece of cloth or something. Something that doesn't involve directly casting things on a person.

Yes. Doing something like that should be fine for Medea to handle without overwhelming her.

I can't until the end of the quest where I can explain all the details of this world, especially the nature of Medea's magic.
 
Lets not go wade through who knows how deep murky water for a hundred feet. We could probably have Lucas assist us and Sierra up to the other corridor near us. That seems like the safest option.

I still have half a mind to heal Sierra. She really doesn't seem to be doing well, and moving around seems to only make her condition worse. Can we set up a condition where if Sierra seems to be doing really bad, we try and heal her?

What items do we have on us, if any? Did we keep any of the cloth scraps from Sierra's jacket?

Outside of possible weapons, everyone was left with stuff they had on their person when they entered the old man's house. Lucas, in case anyone forgot, has a ton of stuff jammed into his pants pockets. As for the scraps, all the usable pieces (which weren't many) are currently applied to Sierra and the ones that were unusable (which was a majority) were left behind.
 
You said we could improve our chances with detailed procedures and/or rituals, right?

[X] Cast a Spell
-[X] Empower Object: Healing
-[X] Target: Strip of cloth, torn from your shirt.
-[X] Ritual Procedure:
--[X] Tear a strip of cloth from your shirt...doesn't need to be a proper bandage, but needs to be possible to tie to Sierra's arm, and needs to be wide enough to write on.
--[X] Write on the cloth strip, in blood (to symbolize life and convey symbolic weight), "Raphael." The name of one of the Archangels, which translates as "God Heals."
--[X] Incant quietly, "Heal and mend that which is broken." Empower the spell.

[X] If it seems to work, tie it to one of Sierra's arms, touching the skin.

Yeah, that sort of detail will definitely help your chances.

Just for future reference, when you guys go into detail of how Medea is doing her spells I'll break down each part of the spell's setup and give it a value (these values are fixed), these values will then be added up to your cast roll. I'll add this information to the spell casting rules.

If we succeed once, it's added to the spell list. Then we can cast it again later, for ourselves, without rolling. We can still only cast once per update, though.

Well look at that, character development for Lucas. Yes please. My OT3 is looking better and better

Closing the vote later today at about 9 PM Pacific Time. So far it seems pretty unanimous but I figure I'd give you all the time to vote and/or change it if you want to do something else. :3
 
Good thing we have the bonuses. I guess we owe that to the bribe of cuteness (or smelliness??? :p) a few pages earlier.

Just needed to ask, by any chance, can a "wrong" description actually make things worse?
 
We might want to add some vote about what we do after we have cast the spell. I'm thinking:

[X] If the spell succeeds and Sierra is feeling better, go down the corridor. If not, go back.

Edit: Oops, I forgot that the tally program only counts the last vote. (Not that it matters much.)

I'm also willing to throw in the "If the spell succeeds and Sierra is feeling better, go down the corridor. If not, go back." bit that @Gingganz suggested if you all want. It'll help move things along.

But in any case, guess it is time for the breakdown of the ritual.

- Writing in blood. (+5)
- Inscribing an archangel's name. (+15)
- Naming Raphael, the archangel of healing, for a healing spell. (+10)
- Words for an incantation will be valued by the amount of words used in them. The incantation used has seven words in it. (+7)
Total: +37

You guys are getting a 37 bonus to your cast roll.

With that in mind, would one of you lovely people kindly roll a 1d100?

Depends on how much of a dick I feel like being with exact wording. :p
 
Shit. If it weren't for the bonus you guys would have botched another spell. Like, three in a row. You guys are a statistical anomaly with these rolls I swear.

With that in mind, would someone kindly roll a 1d100 for the success roll!
