Chapter 55 - Infiltration
A little short, but I had to end it where I did.

I forgot that Kandis is getting a reduced XP share! I'll have to go back and edit the last post. Anyway, in this chapter, Kandis remembers a few useful things from her uni days.

Sorry for the delay, it was a busy weekend, and then I started re-watching Sound! Euphonium, and could not stop.

I think the 'Fisted Fish' must be a corruption of the 'Festive Fish', but I've been trying out names in the form 'F-adjective Fish' and they all sound great. Fetid Fish, Foolish Fish, Floundering Fish, Flaming Fish, Flying Fish, Fried Fish, Frying Fish, Furious Fish, etc, etc.
Alternatively it might be that the name commemorates the time the tavern owner took on a monster incursi...

I've been dropping God's names and domains throughout the book so far, but it might be nice to put them all in once place for the readers. Alas, Patreon doesn't let me just paste the table in... So for each God, I've got a name, a domain, a form of magic, and a lack.
Each God invented one of the types of magic. Some things that we might think of as magic don't actually count. Theurgy was ...

Been a while since we had a character sheet - I'm trying out a more compact format. There are a few minor skill increases that weren't covered in the narrative.

Whenever I do dungeon scenes now, I get Rhis in my head offering commentary, so you get that as well now.

Well, the RTF seems to be a hit, so maybe I should be asking if I need to do the PDF? I don't have the option in Pages to export to HTML - I can do epub if that's better. It's just a shame that this 'text' post type offers such limited formatting.

Dungeon Cores are crucial to every single planet in the universe. They boost the density of mana in their surroundings. They operate as repopulators when a magical or mundane catastrophe occurs, whether it is local or planet-wide. And are the primary source of new paths of evolutions inside the Akashic Records. - The Viridescent Core

Short version: No changes to costs or benefits for existing Patrons.
Longer version: I'm re-organising to put more stories on this site. There will be a tier for each story, with an additional tier to get all the stories for a small additional cost.
I'm going to put the first chapter of Isekai kara Dungeon accessible for all Patrons so you can see what its like. Eventually,...

I had to rename this one at the last minute because they didn't do what I though they were going to do. Also, I've added a Rich text version to see if people prefer that. Also, Cloridan can't tell a monkey from a lemur, so the Lemutiger is forever lost to history.

I wouldn’t recommend this for most writers, not even LitRPG writers, but there are numbers behind the combat in Phantasm, and I do run through the combats most of the time. This is because I’m curious to see if the the system works, and to see if it needs tweaking.
Most of the action in recent combats has seen Kandis taking a backseat role, though, and since I’m only showing her poi...

I'm adding a version in a different font, to see if helps with display problems.

There are two ways to get skills in Phantasm. The first, and least important way is via Demonstrated Competence. This is when you demonstrate that you have a skill at a level that is beyond what is listed on your Status page. It's not so much a normal part of the System, as the System noting that your page is incorrect and updating.
For most skills, this requires more than a simp...

Ooops, updated to get Felicia's name right. Should have checked when I brought her back. (Not like I don't have a list for that exact reason)
