(sorry again for the delays. I'll do better about posting. I'll make a commitment of posting every 2 days from now on.)

The Magyyk Man heads onto the bus, as it seems to be the most isolated, but relatively comfy area. The only other isolated area available is one of the bathrooms, which would smell like shit.
The Magyyk Man opens the book and finds that it contains only blank pages. After flipping through he finds nothing useful at all. However, he feels a faint magical presence from page 420 of the book.

Finding one  of the dryer areas in the dining room, Emmilia hefts her new hammer onto the table and sits down. Putting a hand on the head off the hammer and closing her eyes, Emmilia tries to find a way to communicate with the voice from earlier.

"feed me..."
She hears the hammer whisper faintly. Through further magical investigation, Emmilia finds that the hammer craves magical energy much like an animal would crave food.

The rat beast continues to run towards Nikolai.
It doesn't look like he'll be able to loop around the beast without the beast catching him.

Jose takes his dagger and begins running after the beast to try to dislodge the spear.
Jose finds that he's running at about the same speed as the rat now that it's been slowed by its impairment.

Well this is out, seems like only two people of this community are playing this, kinda sad because it's pretty fun. I've only been playing with bots atm to get gear and learn how to play. Currently deciding if I should continue playing as the dwarf and go for the slayer class because awesome, or go with the elf and just have fun.

For general-purpose computing, the non-profit LowRISC project aims to ship a RISC-V SoC for use in open hardware. LowRISC is founded by Robert Mullins—a co-founder of the Raspberry Pi Foundation—and supported by the University of Cambridge.

What is Open Hardware?
You've heard of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) that makes software transparent and verifiable by end-users and the larger community. Open Hardware follows the same principle, but for the physical chips that make up your devices.

When to discard AA and AAA batteries - check the voltage!

https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/125863/how-should-i-use-a-multimeter-to-determine-which-aa-batteries-to-keep-and-which

For devices that use button cell batteries: Check the model of battery the device requires, as it could be one of the LR44 'family' which includes SR44 and 357. These batteries are all interchangeable, so you can substitute one for another if the exact model isn't available in stores.

Give me a few minutes... I downloaded them a while back but am unsure if I still have them.
Edit: So they will take a bit to upload but when they do they will be In this Google Drive and the filename will be "Fate Story Sprites.zip"
Because these are sometimes cracked down on for copyright infringement (Although, to the best of my knowledge all of them are released) I feel like I should post a notice: Any company, individual, or attorney wishing to file a DCMA or similar take-down notice for the above material may do so here:
Email: ct.jcpm@gmail.com
ATTN: Charles Terry
Subject: Notice of Infringement
Requests will be handled in a timely manner.
EDIT 2: They're uploaded. Direct Link here. Take note that it's 137MB worth of images, so if you have slow internet you're gonna have a bad time
