Hunters of Letrua

[Arch Lich Burns]

Julius takes a ook at it with magic senses. "Looks like the same as before." He uses his magic to heal the cut up a bit.

[spiderwrangler]

((Does it look like the cut might be healing on its own?))

[Dlover]

In fact, when Julius examines the cut it mostly looks the same as before. A considerable amount of magic is leaking out of the cut, though, and the concentration within Olly's little finger is dropping rapidly. The mark remains, though. Julius makes an attempt to heal the cut, but it doesn't seem to be reacting.

[Arch Lich Burns]

"Hmm...The magic seems to be leaking at faster rate, I have no idea what will happen if it will all leak out, maybe your finger would turn back to normal." Julius concentrates on the rock and tries to repair it back to the state it was before it got cut.

[spiderwrangler]

Korga examines the tip of her knife to make sure it hasn't been affected, then pulls out her karambit and waits in case more surgery is needed.

[thinkslogically]

|Olly begins to relax a bit now that it seems he's managed to get himself a bonus rather than a weird curse.

...At least for right now!

[Dlover]

Julius focuses on fixing the damage, while suggesting maybe if the energy all escapes everything will go back to normal. It's no simple task, considering he's trying to repair a mysterious energy crystal that he doesn't completely understand, and he's nowhere near strong enough to actually make magic solidify, but he does manage to stem the flow of energy. With that matter resolved for the moment, they have to decide their next course of action.

[thinkslogically]

((Do I still have purple fingers?))

[Dlover]

You've still got purple crystal fingers, yes.

Oh, and Korga's knife wasn't damaged at all.

[thinkslogically]

Olly looks at his hand and looks at the crystal.

[spiderwrangler]

((Does the little finger that was pricked look any different?))

[Dlover]

The injured finger looks a little more dull than the other four, which all look identical to the main crystal, apart from their shape matching Olly's normal fingers.

[thinkslogically]

Olly looks at his hand and looks at the crystal again.

[spiderwrangler]

"So... stabbing you made it leak out? Should we stab the rest?"

[Dlover]

Olly contemplates... Something. Korga contemplates stabbing Olly some more. We can assume they are contemplating different things.

[Arch Lich Burns]

"Maybe try to put your hand on the crystal again, it may make it less dull."

[spiderwrangler]

"Is less dull a good thing?", Korga asks, mentally reviewing the connection between forearm and wrist bones in the event it becomes necessary to dis-articulate Olly's hand from the rest of him.

[Arch Lich Burns]

"I have no idea. It doesn't seem to really affect Olly badly, from what I can tell."

[thinkslogically]

Olly looks at the others, looks at his hand, looks at the crystal again and gives Korga an apologetic half shrug.

He puts his hand on the crystal again, and lets the crystal-ness spread half way up his forearm.

[Dlover]

Julius makes a suggestion that some would call questionable, but Olly is in agreement, and after an apologetic look in Korga's direction he places his hand on the crystal again. The crystalisation spreads from his fingers to his hand, creeping along to his arm, until he takes his hand off with half his arm crystalised, the entire process taking only a couple of seconds. The skin is a little taut where it connects with the crystal, and it's a little tingly, but otherwise feels fine. Olly's finger has regained the initial lustre as well.

Also, by a question from Burns: The crystal hasn't changed at all.

[Arch Lich Burns]

"Well the good news is that if we need a light we don't need to use fuel." Just to make sure it's just Olly, he brushes his hand across the crystal.

Lick it!

[Dlover]

Yep, it's just Olly.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Julius looks at Olly. "Seems to be unique to you."

(Is less magic leaking out of Olly?)

[Dlover]

Compared to when it was just fingers? No. Compared to when his finger was damaged? Yes.

[thinkslogically]

"Niiice!"

A thought occurs to him, somewhat belatedly.

"Hey, you don't think I have to stay near this thing now do you?"
