That's perfectly fine! He kind of wants to be seen as a human lol

 

[Blackrose7]

Yeah. Felicity isn't sure what to do in front of a human that isn't a religious person. Paramirum is the first human she met, so she is curious about them.

 

[Clausewitz Halcyon]

Felicity is... Diabolical! Ahh floating everything like that!

 

[Blackrose7]

Felicity: "Now they need to stay here."
Paramirum: "Are you kidding me?"
Me: *Has her alignment as Neutral Good, but doesn't mean she won't do that.

 

[Ian Temero]

Oh gosh. Alerts have been failing me again.

And TayMaiTer ? You still around?

 

[ArchAngelLexi]

Question: would water magic evaporate immediately in the heat or could it be maintained?

 

[Clausewitz Halcyon]

The heat gets hotter and hotter, but it maxes out at boiling point at 30 minutes outside continuously. To get to the library will take 20 minutes, which is around 170 degrees in Fahrenheit at the end of it. The temperature rises by 4 degrees Fahrenheit per minute, approximately.

So the water won't evaporate! But it'll start heating up. Luckily, as you seem to be recognizing, water has a higher specific heat than metal or whatnot, and so will take longer to heat up!

 

[Blackrose7]

I guess the same thing goes with ice magic.

 

[Clausewitz Halcyon]

Now the ice will definitely heat up! I'll let you figure out what the starting temperature was, and then work backwards based on the hints of info I gave in my Paramirum posts if you reaaaalllyyy want to nerd out and see what temperature, approximately, you are at right now!

 

[Blackrose7]

So I was right to not use Felicity's ice magic, because it wouldn't have worked if she did that.

 

[ArchAngelLexi]

So we're at a starting temp of 90 F then?
So my idea was to use water to basically just make a cooling mist, and based on my experience from living in a hot place I'd guess the first half at least might be nice but after that i'd probably just be moot point or still mostly uncomfortable. But since it'll be a constant flow of dispersed water droplets it not like it itself will be reaching 170 by the time it hits her skin, but the effect would certainly seem less effective. Does that sound about right?

 

[Clausewitz Halcyon]

Great thinking! Remember that you wouldn't know automatically the temperature, but you can guesstimate! As long as nobody is like "hmm, the temperature is at 186 degrees Fahrenheit!" without good reason, you're good! Also, should I try using Celsius as well for international friends?

 

[ArchAngelLexi]

Lol i wasn't planning on her doing that but it helped me with the math to better understand what I'm working with.
Might help. Here's the basics
90 f = 32.23 c
4 f = -15.56 c
Water boiling: 212 f or 100 c

> Imperial system

This perturbs me. Ree.

Also good thinking Lexi. I just figured out a way to abuse Erich's transformations to resist the temperature but only in a way that would keep him personally cool (70 odd tons of mostly steel is one hell of a heat-sink). This is much better.

 

[ArchAngelLexi]

It's certainly not the most efficient system of measurement.
I plan on posting later today, maybe in an hour or 2

 

[Blackrose7]

Just waiting for you two here.
TayMaiTer Ian Temero

 

[Dmitri Tolenka]

Just for the record Erich loves what's been done to the school grounds. Long sight ranges, low rolling hills for cover, friendly people around him, it's just missing low overcast.

 

[Blackrose7]

I don't know what happened to my partners.

 

[Dmitri Tolenka]

I don't know what happened to my partners.

Eaten by the great player eating monster.

 

[Blackrose7]

NO! Not the great player eating monster.

 

[Dmitri Tolenka]

TayMaiTer hasn't been seen since Oct 10th, and Ian Temero did show up a few hours ago but appears to be involved with the Yakuza. So Ian may or may not be kidnapped.

Tay definitely got eaten though.

 

[Ian Temero]

I've been waiting to see if Tay popped up again.

 

[Dmitri Tolenka]

I've been waiting to see if Tay popped up again.

You managed to escape from the Yakuza! Huzzah!

 

[OBESE]

I so want to roll "perception" from DnD to see is there any other exit from the auditorium, besides the one everyone came in and is leaving. Would there be another exit? And if there would, where would it lead?

 

[Blackrose7]

This isn't D&D.
