Too bad Leah and Meji convinced so many of them to go away... they could have charged exorbidant fees for healings by their new, local Hustler Healing Half-Elf

How do they know that with more power, the effects of the healing won't just last longer? Leah might change back in a few days or weeks, with the shift being just as painful as the first time. Why risk such pain- even their lives- on such a faint, slim hope? Everyone knows, and has known for hundreds of years, that half elves can't be healed. So Ian learned a few tricks... why buy into the chance that it's anything more?

Introducing the new permanent town healer?

If I was a MD in the old west, I'd not mention it until I got where I was going.

I figure Riley's selling the info for some money.

Oh...and would someone change the topic date - It's Jan 19, not Jan 14. It's bad enough I'm 5 days away from my 25th B-Day, thusly I'm having to sort of be on the prowl to make sure nothing is done on that day...the last thing I want is to think I have to wait any more days to get it over with.

... Why should we, as rational human beings, believe in a/some supreme being/s that have significant levels of power that they can seem to do almost anything? Answer this rhetorical question and you will have answered your own questions.

Leaving answering questions with yet more questions aside, from what *we* have seen Ian possesses the power of a being that helped create at least three races of beings (plus a couple of small, irritating fairy thingos) from scratch. From this, it is reasonable for us to assume that the power Ian possesses would also be capable of merely changing an already existing person.

But Ian's body is poorly designed to channel the power on that level.

That's the curious thing... The goddess has to have a hell of a lot more power than Ian seems able to use. IS it due to the physical limitations of a flesh and blood body when it comes to channeling magic, or is there some other reason? And regardless, he can't heal everyone in town if he passes out each time he fries/heals someone.

Why in the world do people keep bringing this up? It's not like half-elves are cursed, they just have physical defects with resistance to magic...

And since he purged Leah of most of said defects, why would they suddenly return?

Yeah but, it's a resistance and not a complete immunity. Resistance can be overcome with either sufficient technique or power.

Channeling the Goddess Anilis, Ian should be able to overpower that resistance and make the healing permanent.

The Bookies just came back from the Casino at Divanne Les Bains, FR.

Note: Due to earlier confusion, betting statement syntax goes as follows:
[bet] ::= [predicate], [odds for]:[odds against]
read it like '[payout] = [condition|predicate]?[if true]:[if false]' syntax.

Damnitall, the fscking editor won't let me do proper BNF. Who came out with the angle bracket HTML syntax anyway :-x :evil:

But perhaps Ian now plays with "supermagic", and it could be permanent. Still, I'm sure Ian could access more power, but I think he has to make a... connection with Meji somehow. Back in the forest, Anilis's repository was still glowing until Meji touched it. Perhaps that closed a link with the person who opened it (Ian) and requires them to be in contact to access the full power of Anilis.

I like all the people milling around out there - it reminds me of Jesus feeding the 5000. Now they just need a boat to pull away for a while.

And Ian can't stay around long now. The hunters will come after him and turn his hometown into a battleground when they hear about a "healer". Wait, they are a town full of half-elves, right? Uh oh, they are doomed, doomed, doomed...

Not that this town is really isolated and rumored to have people with defects in it, but those silouettes look like the cast of <i>The Hills Have Eyes</i> and the <i>Texas Chainsaw Massacre</i>.

Hope Meji wore her sprinting shoes today.

Are you not listening? The healing has already taken effect. It was successful - there is no resistance to break through, because it was already bypassed.

How the fuck?

I'm sorry, but if a person who is partially resistant to snake bites (like certain snake handlers, etc) takes enough bites or a big enough bite from any one species of snake, he WILL die.

Cockroaches will die if enough radiation hits them.
People die if enough stupidity infests their brain.

Now please, learn the difference between regenerating her genetic defect, as opposed to merely resisting any change. Not like our version of surgery couldn't fuck her chest over enough to cure her.

Hah! I didn't see this coming.

Soon, a lot of half-elves will hear about this. Then the elves. Then all hell breaks loose for Ian and Meji. Maybe Errant War part duex.

"Some men are born great, some have greatness thrust upon them. It is often the latter who turn to evil."

This could be the moment where Ian goes from saviour to outcast. Likely, with that kind of power in him, people are going to want an explanation. God help him if Meji told people about Anilis -- they'll want to know about the gods. Ian has no knowledge of anything like that. He'll be ostracized, called a charleton and a liar. If that happens, he's not likely to use his powers for anything worthwhile.

I'm guessing Ian makes a fine channel for Anilis' power. He can use some strong magic, he just needs to rest afterwards while that power in him (we'll presume some sort of consciousness in Anilis here) heals the damage done to his body. Like when he flew to his hometown? The drunken Ian was probably a high coming off endorphins as Anilis kept him pumped so he wouldn't wake up from the mending of his body.

One thing that worries me is that Ian only thinks he's in control. Perhaps Anilis is guiding him from within, sort of like subconscious imperatives that he must go here, he must do this. If that's true, I would wonder about her agenda. Last time we saw Nookie and Kawaii, they stated the elves were what -- replacements? If the elves were perhaps made to replace the gods, then will Anilis go seeking an elfin host? Sarine better watch her orifices before she gets some Anilis violation.

You have obviously never been seriously ill before in your life. When a doctor tells you in all likelyhood you are going to die young, and your only hope is an unproven surgery/drugs/etc. you're going to take it, no matter how proven it is.
