INTERVENE

> So yes, first up make about a dozen captchalogue cards. 00010001, iirc.



You decide to craft some Captcha~ oh whoops. The code produces some paper instead at a very cheap cost.

==>





Rose goes ahead and crafts the much needed CAPTCHALOGUE CARDS; 10 for you and john each.

>upgrade your makeshift flail into an actual flail, with heat properties since its made from an iron



You're getting crafty now. You try to imbue heat properties into your Morning Irony by combining a piece of paper that you light on fire, but john doesn't even have that type of grist yet.

> SC: if you can find some paper and graphite or crayon, you can try to transfer or highlight what was written





Crafting another piece of paper and reaching for your backup writing utensil; you decide to highlight the paper with the note book behind it to recover what was lost.

==>

>Try and use crafting mechanics to remove the oil from your notebook



That's not going to be feasible right now since you don't have the materials to remove all the oil from the book captcha card or otherwise. You don't keep any ink bottles in your coat either, not that you could really know what is truly in there. For now you'll have to use paper and the pencil to uncover any PAGES in the book.

> Pull three (3) items out of your trenchcoat and determine their codes.



You do so and pull 3 items from the depths of your trenchcoat without thinking about it resulting in 3 RANDOM items. You get:

52dSGSd0 ~ 1x EXPIRED ENERGY DRINK
2fst2dng ~1x CURBONIUM SKULL
?Axf3rfq ~1X CARBON ROD

> You + jetpack = scorched calves. ...Try the code PSHOOOES just for the heck of it.



Wow. It's going to take some time to alchemize this even if john farms for grist.

You... don't know how you could combine yourself with items. It seems possible in theory.

==>



Speaking of yourself. You should get on to what you came here to do. With all the setbacks that have happened you'll at least know the code to~

==>



...

==>



Well its not the worst situation you've been in. After you get to rose's planet things will finally pick up speed and maybe then you'll be able to REVERSE CRAFT your trench coat.

wait a moment...

==>



OH YEAH.

Oh god the ogres got here pretty quickly when you weren't paying attention.

> Wait, how much grist do you have to work with?





After experimenting with the crafting system for a bit; John and SC have managed to leave the grist cache dry.
