Turn 18Aquire food from McCoy.
(2) Seeing your prey cowering in fear before you, you can already taste the sweetness of his brains as you slowly walk towards him, giving your best evil overlord impression. Getting closer and closer to your food source, a gear in your head starts turning. In order to actually get your meal you will have to open up his head somehow. This could be a problem, you think as you stand next to McCoy and inspect his cranial area. You ponder about using your quarterstaff, but bashing his head in would most likely result in many little splinters of skull bone being stuck in a squashed brain, which doesn't sound like the five-star jello you had in mind. As you wander around him in circles, you get lost in your thoughts as you try to think about how to best go about it, drifting off into imaging the nice meals you could be having right now and the deliciousness of brain bits.
Follow the group, searching for anything else, periodically tapping the ground with my hammer.
(4) Seeing as you have arrived at a dead end, there really isn't anywhere to follow the group right now. You decide to go ahead and take a look at your surroundings anyways, hoping to discover some kind of meticulously well-hidden switch integrated into the walls or the floor. As you walk back and forth a bit down the hall, you periodically tap random parts of the ground hoping to maybe find some button that may extend a bridge or what not, but even after spending several minutes inching along, taking a close look at every bit of bare wall and floor near you, you can't seem to find anything push-able hidden anywhere nearby.
Try to summon two more bats like Sen.
(5) After a short discussion with Nefarious, you decide not to simply send Sen into the abyss to take a look, but rather triple the effectiveness of your work by creating two more of his kind. Standing straight up, you close your eyes and concentrate, trying to establish a connection to the Nether World again. As you get closer to creating a portal to the lower plane, you are suddenly interrupted by something tapping you. Opening your eyes, you see Sen bumping against you, trying to grab your attention. Before you get the chance to rant at him for interrupting your little ritual, he suddenly slams his sharp fangs into your arm, biting onto it and apparently starting to suck out your blood. As you are about to slap him away and ask what the heck the tiny demon thinks he's doing, you understand his intentions and let him continue for a few seconds. As he finishes, he lets go and flies back a bit, having drunken about half a pint of blood, a relatively large amount. For a second he just hovers there, but then he starts to give off a reddish glow as the space around him distorts. Multiple images of him appear to be moving about at the same spot as him and, in an instant, three Sens float above the ground in front of you, as if they'd just warped into existence. It appears that Sen may be more capable than you had suspected. As you feel the stability of the connection to your dark side increase, you have a bit of an odd feeling as well, as though something in you was becoming stronger.
Sen:
Ability Gained: Dimensional QuantificationSet and immobilize the bones using the bloody bandages and metal from the destroyed armor.
(3-1) Once again you've become injured, though this is nothing in comparison to the wounds you've had before. Still, the pain that it is causing you is quite distracting and it's very probable that you will be needing to use your right hand again soon. Deciding to create a quick-fix for your current problem, you attempt to set your bones and keep them in place with the bandages you're still wearing and the broken pieces of your armor. Looking at the pieces that you've been carrying with you, however, you see that they are all still rather large and bent, too much so to use them as a splint for your arm. The bandages might work, but they won't hold it in place on their own. You'll probably have to look for something else to use for this task if you can't make them fit somehow.
To that direction where Thale pointed! If human is spotted, aid him!
(2+1) Not wanting to cause Thale anymore trouble, you trust him to take care of himself and get to the task he's given you. Quickly getting to your feet, you quickly make youre way around the forest, flash-stepping around as you go. It takes you quite a while between all the twists and turns of the forest, but thanks to your immense speed, you soon arrive at the beach where you see what looks like the squid-man in the distance. Keeping yourself in the forested area, you make your way closer to him as silently as possible. As you get near him, you hide yourself in a brush not too far from him and look at what he's doing. You see something a few feet away from him and, looking closer, see what appears to be a human. You presume it's the one Thale was talking about, but it appears that he is just sitting there in fetal position, not moving at all. Wondering what is going on here, you watch Derm as he wanders around the human, looking rather absentminded.
Heal the Dog man's hand with mouth-to-mouth!
(2) After the beast has been defeated, you immediately drop your seriousness and go back to your usual odd self. Seeing that the big doggy man had been injured in the fight, you decide to help him out the best way you know, by showing some cat lovin'. Approaching Thale on all fours, you sneak up behind him, but he notices you and turns to look at you. Seeing the big cat-smile on your face, he questions what your intentions are, but you simply jump at him, attempting to pounce him and get frisky. At the last second he manages to use his uninjured hand to push you back, holding your face away with it. You wobble your arms around as you complain about him not wanting to accept your powers of friendship, but eventually give up and slump to the ground next to him, watching him toying about with his armor.

Sorry about that. Laziness coupled with a metric shit-ton of work caused me to push up doing the turn for a bit.
Also, we're supposed to be hit by a hurricane in the next few days, so I may be out for a while depending on how bad it is.
