18th Shard

I am rereading elantris and the emperor's soul now, and will reread mistborn this week. I think i can get warbreaker too. WOK might be a little harder, but I think i can manage by Tuesday.

Hm, that could be useful. But about that Lerasium... we all know how much the body of a god is worth, but as a favor to a friend, I'll be generous. How about 200 boxings and a bead of Atium? We could also trade in information, though that would give less profit than straight cash.... Peng, please don't ban lerasium. I will be Mistborn!!! By the Gleeman, though obsidian daggers might be used more commonly, Aluminum blades are actually quite useful, due to their deceptiveness of appearing as a metal. They aren't really, probably some kind of stone, but they act much like metal. It is Allomantically inert, though. Coinshots can't pull on it, so it can't be metal... By the way, Forage, how do you prevent Odium from tainting the writing?

@Gleeman: Try not to double post, just edit your post above. Thanks.

Invisible ink? No I will let you in on another secret: The Lord Ruler discovered a way to use lightning and Allomancy to make this thing they call the In Tern Et. They send messages this way. It also allows them to play these games online involving killing each other

"Of course, I doubted. I'm 'new' to the area, and did not know of your authenticity. What about the mythical beads of Metal known only to the Steel Ministry and it's acolytes, Lerasium? It is known only to the highest of obligators in the Canton of Allomancy... and those who can...ah...persuade them to talk. Please, keep it quiet though. You realize, if you ask around where an obligator could ever hear, you will be killed without a thought. The Lord Ruler guards its Allomantic abilities quite securely. I would like some for a few experiments. Tell no one of this conversation. There could be some benefits for both of us if you can procure any," said Xaneth, slipping a piece of a bead of Atium onto the table. He stood slipping back into the shadows, waiting to find another person to make more amenable to his point of view in the future. Erendi had seemed much harder than Forage to read, but people always left clues, clues in what they said... and what they didn't. One of the men, the older grumpy guy in the inn, seemed to be trying to leave hidden clues after this message. Claincy's not the only one who can make fancy hidden messages. By the way, my master "Dust" was a reference to Hoid. I really enjoy making my character so great. If you want a visual, I've been told I am much like Bean from Ender's Game: Manipulative, too smart for his own good, sarcastic, and vertically challenged.

Whispers to Forage:Do you have any atium? I need a display of wealth for when I need to impress people.

We reference things so much. I don't know if that's the Ideal way to make a point, but it's better than making horrible puns.

Ditto.If I die, I will haunt you all with frightening visions of spikes dancing through your heads. And they won't be Hemalurgic. No shardic energy to keep you alive.

Xaneth surveyed the city below. He'd never seen it during the day, just on the nights he had reported to Cyrus about the surrounding area. Xaneth hadn't seen any Steel Ministry members for almost a month, since the last one whose body would wash up downstream in a few days. He checked his various small obsidian blades hid all over his body, making sure they were all in place. He also checked the various poisons he carried with him. Good, he thought, ready to enter town. Now to determine strategy... Bold didn't suit him. He hid in his long cloak and strode down to the local inn. Lurcher's Inn, the sign read. He booked a room, and then went downstairs. He listened quietly, trying to determine who would be potential allies. His master Dust had taught him that, before Dust had left for "important business in Luthadel". Hmph, just looking for an excuse to leave his apprentice destitute. But Xaneth had survived, and now he was much better off than the 'worldbringer' he could have been. This Erendi character, something seemed off. Xaneth sat down at his table. "So, are you from here? I'm new to the town, looking for employment." Xaneth waited for Erendi's response, fully aware it would be different from the two stories he'd heard told before. This one has secrets I could use, he thought. 18th Shard is in. Peng, would you mind making me a Spiked? I love manipulating people. Oh by the way, how are you going to kill Cyrus? Cyrus will die suddenly in the intro day, I'm assuming. Probably dramatically.

This not the Ideal place to talk about such Radiant puns. We try to be Wit-ty, but we're just left in Hoid's Dust.

The Lord Ruler actually modified himself to be a Mistborn, not using lerasium.

Forging gets weaker the farther from MaiPon it is.

I can finish the book in a couple of hours, I read a 500 page book in 90 minutes. Waiting for March 6th, when I get the ebook... still waiting... ............................must have book

On a Google Doc for us non-game players, this is what Meta said. Feel free to tell him how evil he is. He also responded to this guess. (green is guess, black is Meta) We do Meta, we do.

Double Chromium. Compounded Luck against an Allomancer who can't burn anything.

you guys are just mean. i live in a place, where when you look at the map of the US, all of it is white, except for where i live.

@Shash Will you email my school and tell them that?

I get it the 6th because mine is a kindle book, but I can finish it in a few hours. Should be back on forums by lunch... eh, dinner. Definitely dinner. Can I skip school that day?

This is what worries me.

But I want an overpowered role that can be assigned to me!

@Swimmingly The Shardic Investiture can pass through the Spiritual Realm if it just leaks out, but nothing else can. Also, for there to be a cognitive realm there would have to be those that think, and a black hole just killed everyone but ~16 Shardholders and Hoid, who just made Star Wars part of the cosmere.

I had bendalloy as if killed during the night or day, you survive until the next write-up Cadmium can completely skip a day or a night every 2 cycles. If killed during this time, nothing happens. but you can't vote.

Allomantic gold? ... This will take some thought.

it's perfect Vorin. Close to perfect, but not overperfect. Wouldn't to offend any Shards, now would we?

Shardic Investiture prevents imaginary particles from being created near high gravitational wells, preventing Hawking radiation. Is it sad a ninth grader knows all of this?
