Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?

[Mutant Sheep]

Bernhard Rust was a person. Details via p.m.

..... No, and how/why did you just Godwins Rule Murphy's Law?

Rust generally means decay or deterioration, for most people. Rust is evidently the protagonist of the prequel, where we see him fqll in love in a teenage queen. (and eventually, he will murder children and get his hair melted off, being forced to survive on life support. But, this time, it's MAGIC life support, instead of PSYCHIC TECHNOLOGY life support.

Well, we may know Lord Murphy's last name now, if that's the case.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Murphy is his last name. His full name is Garrett Murphy.

[enderlord99]

how/why did you just Godwins Rule Murphy's Law?

Because I looked at the Rust(disambiguation) Wikipedia page, and that one fit best.

But you're right, that's exactly what I did afterword.

[super dark33]

Is his given name Bernhard?

Because if so, that technically breaks real-world-politics rules.

I wouldnt call that rule breaking, but a genius bonus.
got to love them genius bonuses.

[PurityIcekiller]

Murphy is his last name. His full name is Garrett Murphy.

There goes that joke. Oh well, that's still a pretty good name.

So Do you wonder if Murphy's Law and Goblins count as Dark Fantasy for Monster races? I mean, especially from the point of monster races, humans are evil racist pricks who kill them to get what they want.

[Mutant Sheep]

I dunno. Them Plavians, they evil looking. AND THEY EAT PEOPLES. EW. Lets go kill 'em all. Then we don't have to look at them anymore!

[CoffeeIncluded]

Update sometime this weekend, guys!

Plaavan?

Lets see how much blood's in ya.

And while were at it, lets check the color too.

I wouldn't be surprised if he used still teleport

[Elemental]

Which would imply he's got spell mastery as a feat... And he would have to be least level eleven to cast six level spells.
What's his intelligence? Just as a matter of curiosity.

I'd say 17 or 18 base. Which means now 19 or 20 with the natural stat increases from leveling up; he's been stripped of items.

[Elemental]

Yep. He could definitely escape from a Still Teleport from spell mastery, provided he's level twelve or higher.

Now I am curious to what other spells he took if he indeed followed this route of crazy preparedness...

[Asta Kask]

I think Coffee is going to kill him. Rust isn't playing with kid's gloves and this is a way to show that.

[super dark33]

If Rust would kill him by suffocation, i doubt that some of them will stand idly by and let it happen.

At least one of them will attempt to kill Miles in the excuse of "his treachery made me angry"

[Admiral Harkov]

But he'll be back as a ghost to guide Lloyd. Unless he gets turned down, that is.

But he can live and Coffee can show that at the same time!
Why do I find character death so hard to deal with?

Because it's upsetting? Ah well, back to work!

[Elemental]

I blame you and your excellent writing skills.

Only two stat boosts from levels means he's level 11 at most

Read The Book With No Name by Anonymous and it's sequels. So much character death you'll become completely desensitised.

[PurityIcekiller]

Ow. With puns like that, you could execute traitors to Kago.

Only two stat boosts from levels means he's level 11 at most

Or he could have spent his third stat boost point in some stat other than Intelligence for some reason. I don't know why he'd do that, though.

I'm not optimistic about Miles here. Kago feels like it's going to whatever negative afterlife there is in this universe, and there's bound to be death along the way. There's probably some way out if we're really lucky, but I'm not counting on it.

[Elemental]

Only two stat boosts from levels means he's level 11 at most

You're completely right. I got it confused with something else and thought it was every five levels.
Anyway... It can still be done because I remembered that Wizard's get a bonus feat at level ten which they can spend on Spell Mastery. With the acquisition of fifth level spells at level nine, he could have taken it with Teleport among other things and then prepared a Still Teleport to escape at the last moment.

Now, that's what I want to happen, but it probably won't.
Of course, if he's not level eleven yet, he's got to have some other way out of this.

Or he will die and be force-Liched... somehow. Or Coffee is sitting on her throne of skulls, cackling amusedly at us trying to find ways of saving characters, of whom she alone will dictate the fate of.

*checks SRD*

...Huh. I could've sworn Spell Mastery only allowed 1st level spells. Maybe that was pre-errata.

[Asta Kask]

Teleport does not have a Somatic component, and so wouldn't need a Still feat.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Update tomorrow, hopefully in the morning, guys. Then nothing for a couple of weeks, since finals are coming up.

[Athedia]

Don't sweat, finals are important. Good luck on them

[CoffeeIncluded]

Sorry, the last panel took longer than I thought it would. I've only got text and backgrounds left; it WILL be up tonight.

[Silverraptor]

You have no need to apologize. You said the update would be up tomorrow and its still tomorrow. You said "hopefully" in the morning, but thats not a guarentee. Stop worrying about these things.
