New spell: Baconus!

((Are you sure that a normal grizzly bear will actually understand what you are saying?))
((I think he is acting like Ratherio even OOC. Because that is more akin to Ratherio's reasoning.))
((Yeah, kind of. But it may actually turn out to be a sentient bear. Now I'm just giving the GM ideas.))

Aw great.



Taren begins his objective of searching for the beggar's body!

He also examines his surroundings.

See if I can split some shavings off one of the lumps of magic. Try eating one.

I don't even know which school this thing should be in. I'll say Shamanistic as you are summoning a spirit of Bacon, I presume.

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.
>Yes?
"Could you guys also make a hamburger out of this arm when they cut it off? I wanted to eat it just for the sake of tasting it."
>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

Well, he looks like your bona fide unwashed hippy except that he plays the guitar, the piano, Diablo 3 and otherwise also shares a lot of my gaming and anime-related interests. (This culminates in epic BlazBlue sessions.)
In other news, this schedule slip is getting ridiculous and you can expect an update today because even I have standards.

Re: Roll to Explore the Dungeon! Turn 20/a: Ook, ook
« Reply #415 on: June 13, 2012, 11:48:43 am »

Turn 20A: Yes! Yes!

-- Ruins Group --

Elenor:
Spoiler: Action (click to show/hide)

(3) The corridor leading to the room is nondescript. So is the room itself. Round and with one locked door. This one has a code panel... four digits. Elenor, knowing his dungeons, guesses that entering a wrong code may have disastrous consequences. If the dungeon obeys the rules, the code should be somewhere around.
After unsuccessfully searching the rest of the room for any clue, he returns to the center hall and listens to the sounds of sheganians going on upstairs. Good, they may not interfere after all.

Maka:
Spoiler: Action (click to show/hide)

(3) Ahem (dramatic throat clearing). Mwahahaha... "Psycho Shackles!" Now that should teach this bear not to... um. He still moves.
Damn it! He should be in pain from this! But seems like the pain won't be enough to finish him before he catches up to you!
Still, you run. Laughing, but breathlessly so.

Ratherio:
Spoiler: Action (click to show/hide)

(6) Aw man. This bear has +5 resistance to taunts. And now he's chasing Maka, and you would rather not see her dead (kind of a novel feeling). So, how can you distract this bear... what does a bear like... Of course! Bacon is the solution. It always is. Thus, you apply to yourself, the ancient and powerful curse, Baconus!! This is delicious!
The bear comes round again, and he smells you... crap, he's getting faster, homing in on you like the wrath of the bacon god. Gotta run!! And the bear chases you around the ruins three times. Ratherio does his fourth lap, but the bear doesn't follow... as it turns out, he collapsed after the third, from the Psycho Shackles' pain. You're completely exhausted as well, so just a quick lifedrain to top you off...
Well. The bear might be dead now.


-- City Group --

Helskaya:
Spoiler: Action (click to show/hide)


(5) Through careful application of a very sharp knife, Hel creates a magic shaving and eats it.
The following magic-induced trip was redacted because the author isn't nearly high enough to describe something like it, but it had the overarching, strong theme of an out-of-body experience. Hm... this could be a very useful hallucinogenic. Especially since the herb guy isn't selling the good herbs...


Apollo:
Spoiler: Action (click to show/hide)

(6) Even though you search for the book - very thoroughly, even using the library's index system, but the books are not where they should be. Waaait a second... could it be...
A closer inspection reveals that, yes, indeed - the books about invisibility are invisible themselves. Talk about a mage's sense of humour. Unfortunately, this also means that you can barely read them, because... they are invisible. This includes the writing.
Sigh. You'd need a good librarian that can read invisible runes. Preferably an orang-utan. And you do not want to explore L-Space for that. This means... you shall need bananas. And someone who understands Orang-Utan. Or was there an easier way? Ten kilos of gunpowder and an apple shaving hat with limes on top? That's even more crazy.


Taren:
Spoiler: Action (click to show/hide)

(1) Taren bends over the beggar's body. Those injuries are not suggesting a natural death. In fact, those symbols, written in blood...
His's train of thought is abruptly broken as someone hits him on the back of his head! (6) Only for the weapon to bounce off his helmet and back onto the offender. Taren, now with a colossal headache, twirls around to see his would-be murderer. As it turns out, it's two malicious-looking hooded subjects. One of them just has dropped his club. The other one is clenching a knife.
Beginners.


Remy:
Spoiler: Action (click to show/hide)

(5) Finally, you start reading the damn thing for real. The beginning is quite hard to understand, but once you do, everything seems to become substantially easier, and you learn what your weapon actually is capable of doing, and which spot to touch for which effect. Without doubt, the discovery of where the autobondage setting is located was the most important lesson. But you also learn of some reasonably efficient melee tactics, the range for which those things were inexplicably designed - but leafing through them, what this thing actually can do in melee is rather astounding. Feeling invigorated, you move on and... ugh. Who is supposed to understand that? Suddenly the author seems to assume you have years of experience using these things... what the hell is a Rapid Cancel? Praying for a hope spot, you skip through the rest... no dice... hey, what's this? Apparently, a quick reference about combat and maintenance of your Chain Revolvers, which you obviously pocket.

Taren cracked his gaunleted knuckles menacingly as he drew his broadsword and angled the blade at the two, ignoring the throbbing coming from his head. "I believe you two caused this man's plight? Face me like real men, brigands!"

With buckler and Blade, Taren shalt smite the two unless they give a reasonable explanation on why they attacked me, and are armed, and are hooded.

((mini-turns for those in the ruins, why, again?))

"Ah, so that's why I kept wrapping myself up... good to know... and if I just hold it like this I can reproduce the effect!  Oh, that is good to know.  For future reference..."
Remy looks around, making sure that nobody is looking, intent on taking the book with him.  Or... better yet, he could create some sort of spell to create a perfect copy of the book!
Try to do the above.
Once that was over, he headed out into town, looking for trouble.  No use knowing how to use a weapon if you never do!

Elenor perks his ears. Normally, one would think that the bear was either put down or had killed the wizards. Elenor is already used to scouting the area around him by hearing, and the fact there are no crunching sounds makes it obvious to him the grizzly was taken down and the wizards will be joining him shortly.

His peaceful exploration of the place is nearing an end.


Examine and enter the right passage.

((To get the ruins over with faster -- I believe this should be extended to combat in general. The last time I tried an intermission, it derailed the entire game. So I want to get the main dungeon on with ASAP.))
((By the way, I estimate that the intermission shall end at turn 22/b at the latest. Perhaps 21/b.))
