    It appears to be a red brooch

    I've always thought it was a brooch.

    I don't think it'd take that much more wood to make it out of Pykrete than it would to make it out of, y'know, wood, and there are wooden ships, yes?

    No, because it's still a lot more wood. The amount of wood in your typical pykrete brick is the same as a good few planks from your typical wooden ships. The difference is that the wood is chipped and compacted and frozen into place together, forming the heavily resistant pykrete.

    Anyways, pykrete is not ice, which was the original topic here. I'm fairly certain there's a few low-level spells that could regenerate the felled forestry, probably allowing for a pykrete armada, but it's still fairly unlikely given the alternates (Wall of Iron for example)

    Actually, Pykrete is anywhere from 10 to 14% sawdust by weight. That is not to say that this still is a good idea, because icebergs generally stick out of the water about 10% of their entire mass. That means that one would need a heck of a lot of wood (in sawdust form) and water to get the ship to look mostly a ship and not a submarine.

    I'm thinking maybe something magical is infused in the ice (if the ships are made out of ice) to increase heat tolerance, reduce mass, and maybe increase the strength/resistance to crushing/smashing.

    Which again makes it way less cost effective than just using Wall of Iron and making iron-hulled ships.

    It dosen't make a lot of sense to go there now, since we know that Nameless and Lyinginbedmon are immune to the weapon I have.

    Unless we come up with something else to capture them.

    I am impressed by your mastery of trivia... or google-fu.

    Anyway, yes, Project Habakkuk, the British operation during WW2 to create an entire air carrier made of ice. The idea was a lot cooler (pun totally intended) in theory than in practice, for the reasons you've pointed out.

    However, the world of Avabaroy practically runs on the Rule of Cool and, as the heirs to some of the mightiest mages ever to walk Avabaroy, the Alphanticans are well equipped to make ice ships actually work.

    The idea for a magical Habakkuk actually came from a series of novels I read a while back, Harry Turtledove's Darkness series. Its essentially WW2 as if set in a fantasy world. In the novels, the nations of Lagoas and Kuusamo, the series's analogues of Britain and the US respectively actually work together to create an dragon carrier, an air carrier for dragons, made of ice and sawdust, using magic to keep it from melting in warmer climates.

    Well, in comic it's completely unrelated reasoning and luck.

    But yeah, we're going to try and come up with another way to capture them.

    Hello again ABR people. I might try to join ABR again. Third time is a charm, right? If I do join, it won't be for a while. The reason for this delay is that I'm currently attempting to conquer a foe more powerful than many of you:



    However, I have recently managed a minor victory, and produced something some of you may recognize.

    So Lavidor can go full-dragon now?

    Hmm...an ally for Vert Doom...I may need to drag out the Rangers or the Red Whispers for this...

    I wouldn't worry too much about Nameless, he deals more with collecting the already dead, rather than the actual killing.

    What in good god's name are you talking about?

    I'm not going to go through the many advantages of Fireworks compared to I*******, but I will say that you cannot creat realistic images on it, for that you need Fireworks... Or better yet, Photoshop.

    I'm sure you could. I just havent seen anybody try though.

    Besides, with the plot, I think a priority right now for me, is to talk to him.
    not negotiation, I just want to know his powers. At least then I'd know how to kill him.
