To Mineral! (Moore, 88 days left)

[Nephrite]

He is -assuredly- not strong enough to carry two tons of anything! He'll have to pull out his Limited Wish Shrink Object trick and then put all of it in his portable hole. We can evaluate how much we actually need and then return whatever goes unused.

[Anastasia]

Does your portable hole have a weight limit?

[Nephrite]

I don't think portable holes have weight limits, at least in my cursory glancing. I think the limiting factor is just space.

[Anastasia]

Huh.

You slip a bunch of blocks in and...there's more. It's like you never took any in the first place. Yet they're still in your portable hole after a check.

[Nephrite]

"...As befits the Lord of Gems." Moore says quietly.

In that case, let's take... jeez, I still don't even know, when you're dealing with an infinite number of things. Well, let's circle back for a second -- how many of these blocks would it take to make one standard golem? If that's a K:A&E check or something I can do it.

[Anastasia]

K:A, actually.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 76.

[Anastasia]

Depends on the golem.

An obvious answer, of course, but most take many tons of material, especially as they get larger. The number blooms higher rapidly, only magic helping bridge the gap and make larger ones affordable.

[Nephrite]

Okay. One final question, how much is each of these blocks worth? He can do an appraise if needed.

[Anastasia]

Appraise away.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 51.

[Anastasia]

Around 10,000 gold on a quick estimate, perhaps more depending on how it smelts down.

[Nephrite]

Okay. Final question, is it reasonable to think that Crystalle can probably just... create adamantine, considering his station? I can do a K check if necessary.

[Anastasia]

K:P, yes.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 76
