Azastre 5 staaaaaaaaaaaares.
The orb stares back.

No-one blinks.

Azastre then tries to train enhanced attack without breaking eye contact.

1,3,2= -20 pt He gains nothing.


Ace skins and tans another goblin and creates 54 3 blank playing cards.


Arianna hews bone from muscle everywhere in a whirlwind of butchering and collects a nice heap of goblin bones.

5 12 pts to Butchery.


Kahn speaks.

1 The thing's eyes glow brighter again, and it moves forwards and strikes!

4+5+3 vs 4+4
= 4 damage Kahn is ready for the attack and parries most of the weight of the halberd.


Ire watches the thing attack. o.O
It's pretty fast.


Jack watches the glowy thing attack with a weapon!
He uses his wand, but it seems the glowy things are a part of that creature.

Ace steps up the stairs leisurely, with a certain confidence in his stance.
"Well then. Looks like you folks are doin' well."
He walks across the room, to the creature.
"Ey! How about you stop messin with my buddies?"

"Scurvy devil! I warned you!" Kahn roared, immediately retaliating with his spear!

Azastre shrugs. It is probably useless. But he'll keep staring.

Azastre tries once again to take the orb with him through mysterious means, asks the robot to get the rest of the materials from the mostly destroyed stairs and crafts them into ammo.

Arianna grinned. Maybe she could make some proper armor out of this.

Train Armorcrafting, fashion goblinbone knee-high boots and elbow-length gauntlets.

Also see how my pet bird reacts to the orb.

Kahn thrusts his mighty spear into the thing!

The spear meets metal and causes a dreadful clanging noise like he was poking an empty suit of armor.

1+8+2 vs 1+4
= 6 damage

The lights recede a bit as it backs off from the force. A whistling sound announces a halberd coming from the left.

2+4+4 vs 1+4
= 5 damage is taken by Kahn; the slow moving axe-on-a-stick still hurts, as it bites through the mountain armor.


Ace walks over to the creature 5 and dodges a wayward axe attack meant for S. Kahn, not himself.

He speaks, 1 but he might have well not have, because nothing happens. Ace feels slightly stupid.


Azastre 1 cannot think of sufficiently mysterious means to take the orb and gives up.

The robot 6->5 collects huge slabs of marble, twisted pieces of gold railing, and shattered quartzes. Mostly marble.


Arianna 6->1,3,4 gains 6 pt in Armorcrafting.

She creates boots that are knee-high and very form-fitting. They seem they would be a pain to wear in combat. Being of bone, they also aren't that good at blocking piercing attacks, but they will be useful for kicking people, for example.

The grosbeak looks at the orb like it cannot quite comprehend what the heck he is supposed to do with the orb, and why the orb is even there.

O>o


Rod examines the breathable water. 4 It flows fast like water, but it doesn't share the same heavy feeling of general breathlessness of it. His breathing does not cause bubbles to appear. Also, it is very water-colored and not amber or stuff.

It is currently rather dark.


Ire charges at the glowing eyes!

6->3+4+2+1 vs 3+4
=9 damage

With another clanging sound, Ire charges at the thing, the full force of her upon the spear.

The monster retreats another few steps.


Jack fires a stone at the glowing eyes: they might as well be targets for him to hit.

3+9+.5 vs 6->4+4
= 0 damage

The rock glances off the armor of the thing. It does not appear amused.


SUDDENLY out of nowhere, a cross-shaped explosion occurs in the corner! The conspicuously shaped ball...prism...column of fire expands and is quickly dampened by the liquid. Its short-lived luminescence reveals the room to be rectangle-shaped, with the spiral staircase at the far end. Many suits of armor are hunkered up, looking old and all clutching weapons of one sort or another. Some have swords, some have halberds, and some have spears. All of them are taller than a man, and most of them don't seem to be active right now.

The explosion happened in the close corner. It sheepishly fades away, and the ninth floor is dark again.

Ace bit his tongue. This was not going well. Not at all.
"Lost without me, huh? Good thing I'm here to make it all better."
He said in a practiced smug voice, while he whipped out the mithril revolver, loading it up with the pheonix quartz bullet. Immediately afterwards, he shot it directly at the suit attacking Sir Kahn.

Arianna scowled at the boots. Well... she supposed having some minion-kickers could come in handy. And maybe building herself some armor in one piece rather than cobbling it together section at a time would be better in the long run.

She then took the time to gently pet her grosbeak. "It was worth a shot," she cooed at it.

Then she turned her attention back to the ball itself. She should really give up and find out where the others went soon, but meanwhile...

Poke ball of light with undonned boots. Then try grabbing it again. Then give up and see if there's anything left of the staircase to harvest. That isn't necessary for getting to the top, that is.

Train Dodging.

"Humid air...suits of armor...

"Does anyone think these are rusted anima suits?!"


Move to the stairs and examine for traps, attempt to disarm if any.

Examine the corner from where the explosion came from.

Spoiler: Ire Fidel (click to show/hide)

"I have a bad feeling about all this." Perhaps those suits guarded the way to the stairs? And what was up with the air? It was aesthetically pleasing, but it was also...wrong.
