My impression was that you were, in essence heading to Europe by way of Cairo.

ok, that makes sense.
Apologies for dropping out of touch for a while, friends. I had some business leading up to the weekend, and then apparently got COVID. I'll try and catch up during my days off work if I can focus enough.

I don't see any way in which this could possibly go wrong.
It's a sh*tshow for sure! Assuming you're referring to the mess that Argentius the Helpless has found himself in. Throw in the pride and hubris flaws... I suppose I should start working up a new magus. LOL

What would be the base for deleting all of Barshako's memories for the duration of the game, i.e. ballpark year? Is that even possible? Level 15 PeMe is "Remove a major or long memory from a person’s mind," which seems a bit less, whereas 25 is "Leave a person a mindless husk," which seems rather a lot more.
Alternatively, what would be the correct level for deleting all memory of the covenant's location? That seems like it might be 15, correct?
Removing all of a person's memories (back to birth) would leave them essentially a mindless husk. 15 would remove the location of the covenant.
What about all the memories from the span of a year?
That would be base 15 with one extra magnitude for scope, so effectively 20.
Well, that's a disappointing ending.
Thanks @Seon for doing what you could. Thanks @temprobe for the advice.
Given that I no longer have an active character in the game, I'll fade into the shadows until I hear otherwise.
Best of luck folks.
Disappointing not just to you. I liked Argentius.
Don't worry, likely we'll have a few more dead magi with the next adventure. Company in the desert graves!
@Bartomeus Make a new character! They expedition to Europe will hear of Argentius' demise, and that means we have a free lab, and who knows who they'll meet on the way.
If you want we can discuss making a deal with the Red, or becoming a ghost...
Are you suggesting a deal with The Red that would allow Argentius to continue as a magus?
That would be fun!
Not sure about a ghost…
Not so much as a magus...some form of transformed human was what I was thinking, though you obviously wouldn't exactly be a desiccated man...
a desert revenant of sorts...
I’m game. As a companion?
Should I get working on a mage for future potential addition? I would still like to keep a mage in the game. It is ArM after all.
It does sound like a potentially fun character. Glad you're staying with us, Bartomeus.

Not sure how we will classify it- we'll start building the transformation then decide.

Any recommendations of what books I should read as I fly? To learn about the options.
