You fell into the bottomless pit.

[Gannon8]

So you fall into the fabled bottomless pit. However, you have the ability to conjure anything you want other than a floor or means of escape. So what would you do?

Time to break out the DS and play Mario+Luigi 3 :)

Me: xyzzy
Computer: Nothing happens
Me: plugh

Bottomless pit?
Again?
Damn I only just got out of the last one!
Give me a break:cry:

But he missed you :(

[sailthesea]

Logic
If I fell into a bottomless pit I'll never hit the bottom
I conjure immortality and the freedom to enjoy falling until the end of time
I'll be having a ball while everyone else tries to get out of here
WWWWHHHHHeeeeee:D

I might, however, have time to prepare a proper map of the colossal cave. I have to go now, there's a dwarf rushing towards me.

i would probably consider the fact that as im in a bottomless pit the volume would be infinite, and as mass is finite i would essentially be in a vacuum. So as i accelerated i wouldn't have a terminal velocity and so i would carry on falling until i reach the speed of light, where i would then travel back in time to before i fell into the bottomless pit.
by the time ive finished thinking that i would probably have fallen back into the bottomless pit again.

This makes sense. I think you're on to something.
(pauses to contemplate) Perhaps this bottomless pit is the cousin of a black hole. (contemplates further) Where's the gravity coming from?
(pauses to contemplate further and gives up - now how did that bomb get into my head?)

Actually, you wouldn't go back in time. It would just appear like you're going back in time because you're moving faster than a person can see you.


So I can't make a floor or anything to get me out?

Then I'll do this:

Superglue + fridge that converts random matter into pizza + sofa with a toilet built into one of the cushions + computer + wireless router + battery that runs off of matter = Paradise.

I win. :popcorn:

[Generic_Guy]

I cast 'Word of Recall'. There, now I'm back at town. No conjuring necessary, I pack all of the spellbooks with me all the time.
That's what happens when you throw a level 40 mage into a bottomless pit! They just recall back to town with their 'Mordenkainen's Escapes' book! I win!

never been faster than light so i don't know, at the very least if the universe is a doughnut you would arrive back at where you started (which would be outside of the hole).
so the only problem would be landing gracefully at lightspeed x 20.

[OdinHammer]

i conjour my two bestest friends, got to have good company

[katgfan]

I will conjure a bed with a parachute attach to both four corners and every day i will conjure different kinds of woman. i will have the time of of my life.

Lemme borrow one, you're gonna need some help.

*warps gameboy with Pokemon silver and starts playing so he can trade with the others.*

[Dullstar]

I pushed myself towards the wall. Since I had just fell in, it didn't take long to climb out and run away from the pit.

I win!
Sure, you can't send any escape routes, but they never said you can't take advantage of what's already there!

[giggins]

I would conjure someone from the future who's already found a solution to this problem. Maybe they'll know what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object too.

[gamesnepal]

I would just try to flap my hands like a pair of wings and fly back up.

[seanshoots]

I would spawn a downward force of NaN and float there.

[CJ Master]

Conjure up a holodeck, step in and go to where I was before falling.

Loopholes ftw. Technically I never stopped falling. ;)

[lisati]

That's what I thought too: and I've never been able to figure out how perception of going back in time would actually influence the local speed of time. Then again, to the best of my knowledge, I've never travelled faster than light.

[the8thstar]

I would either :

1. conjure a Helium inflated balloon to lift me out of there
2. step out of the pit with my natural ability to warp the laws of space-time and end up in my garden with a glass full of lemonade

That was easy.

[Generic_Guy]

bump

*burns generic_guy's spellbooks* "there's no escape now!!!Fool! The rarer spellbooks can't be affected by the elements! Look it up! :twisted:
Also DEX of 18/*** stops you from being able to steal them!

And then I get bored, and jump back into the pit, knowing I'll never hit the ground. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[collinp]

I would divide by zero.
Solves all of your problems.

Isn't that what created the bottomless pit in the first place? Wouldn't that conjure another bottomless pit within the current bottomless pit? Would that mean the new bottomless pit would be falling within the bottomless pit? What if you fell in the new one? Brain explodes!

I would summon and unstopable force and an immovable object and see what happens when they collide.

don't worry the second bottomless pit would just continue on from the first bottomless pit

surely if you were falling in a bottomless pit you would be an unstoppable object ???

[Gannon8]

The bottomless pit is now sealed with a one-way entrance. The walls are made of a small sheet of lead surrounded by 10 feet of adamantine that has an antimagic field around it.Read last paragraph. (no crossout tag :( )

Also, if you conjure something immobile, than you would hit it at the speed of light and become a liquid. Since noone can die, you just assemble yourself back together again after the gravity pulls you off/through (and yes it can pierce through ANYthing) the object.

Actually scratch the first paragraph. The bottomless pit is a cylinder-shaped place inbetween dimensions that has 2 invisible portals: one on the bottom that pulls you in, and one at the top that pushes you. If you made a floor, the surface area would be so great that the floor would collapse. And you can't access magic in this place. If you try and fly, you just appear at the bottom portal. You got here by falling into a rift in space that teleports you to this place.

Lets see what loopholes there are now. Also bump lol

I'd calculate the square root of -1 again (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7696591&postcount=53), but there's the possibility of similar problems with assorted components related to displaying the results....

sure.
what's funny is I used to call it 'ho-ho', like the food:http://lanehog.com/images/hoho.jpg

[spupy]

* ponders on the philosophical question whether he's falling down in a bottomless pit or he's falling up in a topless chimney with reverse gravity *

[pizza-is-good]

use the force

[tehwinrar]

sure.

:lolflag:

anyone need pidgey :P

[gerrywastaken]

I conjure an indestructable and secure surrogate human (just like in the move) creation machine and give myself the ability to put my consciousness into those surrogates. Plus infinite wishes! ;P

[Techrocket9]

Assuming that below the screen (the first several seconds of falling) the pit is infinite in XY as well as Z, I would conjure this:

http://j.mp/this-thing-right-here

In a form large enough to hold all of Earth. Then I would conjure the contents of Earth in strip form to wrap around this superlarge rotating space station.
