The Calamitous Bob 70: No Ivory Tower

Funny how i overlooked the discussion for BP. x) Whats the use of that? You have magic, and you have flour, or stuff like high flammable oils. A thermobaric bomb is much easier to make and use when you have magic. Can even be used by people who are not spellcasters, dosnt need long preparation and you are not in danger that the enemy 'red mage' (prince gf!) just saturates the are with red mana to blow up the mines.

Grey mana might be more effective since its Air. Red should be fire, but I don't think it necessarily equates to explosions.

Still waiting for Marruk to get the unique "Gate Guardian" path XD

Heres to dismiss black powder. Fantasy world skill enhancers (class) doesnt yet exist for it. And anyone with any amount of red mana can cause you to have a very bad day

Thank you!

And an Emotional Support Battle Golem.

Your support allows me to live my passion so, really, I'm just returning the favor the best way I can.

Not to contradict ya or anything, but i would just like to point to the Vietnam war. In some scenarios, army numbers kinda putters off. I do agree with you tho, guns were rather quickly thrown out the metaphorical window, which i somewhat get, since there has been traveler shenanigans before with dire results.

Chapter was mostly good but the dismissal of black powder weapons as a possibility was rather hamfisted IMO. If they have months and months to prepare their forces than they could definitely get blackpowder made in some significant quantity. They'll certainly need a whole lot more than guerrilla tactics and some improved spells to defeat a determined enemy with a "decisive" force.

I cannot even tell you how much reading this story fills me with joy. So many twists and turns, loveable characters that feel like people. It is great.

Sadly the epub file isn’t working for me, I read these on my phone.

It works by breaking the spine if you do it "correctly". If not, then it's just strangulation. See, for example, the last execution in the US state of Minnesota: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Williams_(murderer)

How does hanging work if they are all superhumanly strong? Hanging works by breaking the spine. The axe makes sense.

Pdf forces a download, which is different than usual

Bloodorange17

Epub downloaded just fine for me

jcox

FYI, file downloads as "1" for me. Had to add the pdf extension manually.

Files are not the correct format (Edit: Fixed, thanks)

I found this chapter to be difficult to write and not very pleasant, but at the same time all the information in it had to be conveyed so, well, I don't know.
