Xenophobia 2.0 (WiP)

My plan to get rich and famous in 5 steps:

  1. sack grandma Angie and take over her house
  2. convert it to a witch hut to lure in witches
  3. Trap said witches and force them to brew me potions
  4. Sell and profit
  5. Proclaim myself as King and rule over everyone with my slave witches
    And BAM! Instant fame and fortune.

This let’s me play as a snarky faery, what’s not to like? :grinning:
The vampire companion seems interesting. Looking forward to seeing this world developped some more.

Can I just point out that if you have a whole house full of trapped witches, making them brew potions. . and then selling them. . . does not seem to be the best way to get Midas-stinking rich.

might I suggest you could even - you know - ask them to ensorcel you so you can turn things to gold and make yourself stinking rich :relaxed:

That’s the main issue with your plan. Old Angie’d is the type of person to shoot first and ask questions later :stuck_out_tongue:

You mean like the spell that was cast on king Midas? We all know how that turned out :urn:

Actually, you could say he had a fifty fifty chance of going down a hero, or a golden fool:

According to some accounts, Midas had a son, Lityerses, the demonic reaper of men, but in some variations of the myth he instead had a daughter, Zoë or “life”.

Having a rep as the guy that turned ‘death’ into gold anyone? Oh yeah!

I still wonder how he managed to eat or drink if everything he touched turned to gold. I’d say anyone with those powers would be dead within three days.

Edit: Ah, yes. That’s mentioned in there as well…

Not even a wa-fer thin piece?

There’s not a whole lot of nutritional value to it, so they’d still starve. (and if they were a glutton be super heavy because of all the gold in their intestines)

Magical gold might be nutritious, and because the only real solution to the problem I can think of is “Magic”

You guys have no imagination.

Just as Tom Lehrer specialises in diseases of the rich. So we should all aspire to be dieticians to the rich.

I can’t think of anything more slimming to the trouserline and trouser pocket. And the best thing is, no side effects! Gold is completely unreactive.

Side effects may include malnutrition, super conductivity and death.

Orrrrrr he could have servants feeding him. Am I the only one who thought of this?

You do realize that ‘touch’ also includes the mouth and even the esophagus, right? All food, no matter how carefully fed will at one time touch such a person’s body somewhere.
