"Now that that moment of sudden insanity's over, I suppose I should examine that rune. If I could make something like it on a slab of gold, and then hit someone with it... Or even if I can't, maybe there's some info on how to deactivate it."

Transform a butterfly into a lovely yet lens-less golden monocle (because I need to raise my devotion, not to mention be completely stylin') and examine the rune carefully, seeing if it's one of the patterns in the book, or if there are any specifics on deactivating it.
piecewise said that you need to kill someone to open it.

Indeed, but I'm trying to find out who or what to kill.

((What? I didn't even get a pot roll?  Or was that a malformed spell? If it's not that then does it have something to do with the sword I picked up?))

Oh... maybe this guy can tell me stuff and about that door under the church. "Hello there mister... not crazy loony guy like the other two non-mages I've met... well the few i seen are pretty crazy too... but not in the same way. Though one did burn off my hair and eyebrows in an attempt to murder me... asshole. So I consider him pretty loony too. Ah but I didn't kill anyone yet... well I pinned one to the ground so he won't kill me and another I knocked out cold with a rock. Your not crazy like them right? I hope not, it'd be a pain in the ass if you was. Though..."

Ramble on while eventually get the rundown about souls and stuff, get a soul jar thingy from him, ask what he has in exchange for 1 magic soul, ask about the sword i found on the dead guy in hopes he might happen to know anything about it, and lastly ask about the door with the rune on it that's under the church.

If the barkeep doesn't mind, turn a chair into silver with, "Dorbaelo Hacal"

Read a little bit up in the post. I said I lost the original post and the rolls, but remembered the results, so I was just posting those without numbers. But the spell was malformed regardless.

"Oh. I can give information. Or items. Mageblood infusions, anodyne for injuries, and the like. For more souls I can sell second chances, potent brews to strengthen the flesh in ways that souls cannot. For one soul, I can tell you what that blade of yours does."

"That way used to lead to the catacombs, but it was sealed long ago by Shal the Evergrowth. If it's still sealed, he must live still."

He asks you politely not to convert his furniture into precious metals, as it makes them uncomfortable.

"Now that that moment of sudden insanity's over, I suppose I should examine that rune. If I could make something like it on a slab of gold, and then hit someone with it... Or even if I can't, maybe there's some info on how to deactivate it."

I think that first quote is talking about the same place.

((There's a magical seal on the church that destroys anything trying to enter it, the creator of the seal must be killed to gain access to the catacombs below it. Something near the town occasionally attacks people using their own magic as an attack vector, we have no idea what or where it is. People were fighting a giant boar. Someone is now a target for all followers of Scarlon for betraying him by switching to another god.))

Time to sum up perplexicon.

First, there was the arena. It had 8 people, multiple floors and a lot of fighting and chaos as nobody understood magic at all.
The most useful thing to know about it is that people said a lot of words in it, and it's possible to make a huge list even though you've never played the arena phase of the game.

In the current phase of the game, everyone turned up in some kind of monastry with altars to 8 gods and an old man. According to him, we need to destroy a creature called the Other. People started worshipping the gods, forming groups and running off in random directions.

At this point in time, there's two main factions among the players, Team Aether and Team Bismuth, along with a handful of minor groups which have no more than a few people each. If you don't know many words, I believe both teams offer their entire word list to members, but you'd have to ask them about that.

I've probably missed some things but that's the gist of it.

Incidentally, if you find a spear made of arm bones or a giant beetle which answers to the name of "Sparky", the sky pirates would appreciate their return.

I think it'll take quite some time until we actually have the whole book, there are a few page 3/4 words that are hard to exactly name.

One more question: I haven't been able to find a waitlist in the OP, is this intentional?
