Turn 11The neko runs off behind a large tree, looking around herself to make sure the coast is clear, before changing into her Magical Flower Armorpiece.
After putting on her armor, Sunbeam returns to where the Demon-Angel landed.
(AS) After all this time you have spent since you have woken up in the wooden room, you just now realize that ripping your clothes of back then has, in fact, left you naked. Quickly running behind a tree and using the brush around it as cover, you begin to equip your new set of flower armor. After wearing the shorts and the jacket, you put on the hat and as soon as the set is complete, you start to feel invigorated, a sense of calmness and peace seemingly emanating from the flower armor. As you step back out into the clearing, the sun shining onto you appears to intensify the feeling, and as you enjoy the feeling, you barely even notice Lyri and Sigarial leave.
Knock on the door.
(2) Making your way over to the trunk, you notice a distinct lack of other houses. In fact, it seems that this is the only building in the entire area. You walk over to the door and knock on it. After waiting for a few seconds, you knock again, this time a bit harder. For about half a minute you repeat this process, mixing in the crossing of your arms and tapping your foot in an impatient manner. No answer is heard from the inside and, walking around the house, all the "windows" consist of two small doors on hinges, hanging on the outside of the house, which seem to be locked from the inside as well. You can still see the smoke rising out of the little cylinder on top of the house, but it seems like nobody is home.
Keep chopping! Maybe I can find a way into that...building...thing.
(5+1) You slash your way through the woods, expertly cutting through the thicket blocking your way. Emerging from the woods into the small area in front of the building, you notice that the ground seems to seamlessly pass from grass to stone bricks, creating the path leading to the entrance. Small columns made from several stone blocks piled on top of each other line the walkway, appearing to have been used as light sources according to the burn marks and ashes on top of them. As you walk down this path, you see that the giant head resembles some kind of a skull, though it still seems quite malformed in comparison to a standard human skull. Inside the mouth are two large stone doors, looking quite heavy, but knowing your strength you decide to give it a shot anyways. You step up in front of the gateway, slam your axe into the ground next to you, spit in your hands and then rub them in anticipation of this task. Putting one hand on each door, you ram your feet into the ground and push forward with all your might. The extreme weight of the doors gives even you troubles (1) and even after exerting all of your power upon the gates, they wouldn't move one inch. These things are more massive than you had anticipated, so you decide to attempt a different tactic. Completely ignoring all the warning lights in your brain that are telling you that what you are about to is a stupid idea, you go ahead and do it anyways. Walking back down the path until you reach its start, you turn to the doors. You half-kneel forward with your hands on the ground, waiting for the signal. Ready ... set ... GO! With the speed of a professional sprinter, you run towards the gate with all your might. Within a few seconds you reach the door, throwing your left shoulder forward and shielding your head with your arm. As you ram into the door, (1) all you hear is the sickening sound of cracking bones as the door does not move a single inch. (
1) Smashing into the rock wall at full speed, your left arm is crushed between your body and the cold rock, dislocating the shoulder and fracturing your humerus. The impact also breaks both, your ulna and your radius, shattering the ulna into bone splinters in your arm and causing the radius to break the skin and stick out of your arm from a gaping wound. You immediately fall over from the pain, clinging at your left arm. That looks like it hurt, a lot.
Malfliction received: Left Arm: (Humerus: Transverse Fracture Ulna: Comminuted Fracture Radius: Compound Fracture) Left Shoulder: DislocatedLyri related to the two what she saw earlier from Derm's help and her own ventures.
Track Thale! Go in that general direction of where he is!
(4) You quickly relate information about the surrounding area and some things about what has happened so far on your journey to your new comrade while Sun seems to be doing something else. After a few minutes of explaining, you cut your story short as you notice that Thale's scent seems to be leaving the range of your senses, so after giving Sigarial a quick rundown, you start sprinting toward Thale, following your nose on the way there. After a short time of jumping around the tree-tops with your flash-step like some kind of anime ninja, you see him up ahead. Jumping down from the branch you're standing on, you walk over next to him and watch him as he appears to be collecting something from the ground.
Follow Lyri.
(4) Attentively listening to the fox girl as she tells you of the things that had happened in the short time before you got here and about the current situation, you notice that she seems to be a bit jumpy as she seems to want to go somewhere. Suddenly she starts speeding up her story and cutting it extremely short and after "finishing" tells you that she has to catch up with someone. As she sprints off at an astonishing speed, you think that you might as well follow her as it can only be better than staying near the creepy cat-lady who has been standing in the clearing with a weird grin on her face for a while now. Using the terrain to your advantage and getting an extra boost from your wings, you manage to somewhat keep up with her. You arrive momentarily later, seeing Lyri stand next to who you assume is the dog man she had been talking about.
Channel the forces of necromancy and summon flames of pure shadow to shroud me and clear all in my path as I delve on ahead using my trusty stick to clear a way.
(5) You've had enough of all these motherfucking trees in this motherfucking forest. So you decide to simply burn your way through the thicket. Calling upon a combination of the powers of necromancy and some form of pyromancy, you attempt to conjure up some shadow fires. Drawing a circle around yourself in the ground with your stick, you then ram your trusty branch in the middle of it and stand next to it. Concentrating, you call upon the unholy presences in the jungle, causing a red pentagram to emerge from the ground below you, its corners touching the ring you drew. Slowly you feel darkness envelop you as the world blacks out around you. Dark souls start emerging from the surrounding area, floating towards you and collecting on top of the branch. Shadows of trees around you begin to pull themselves towards the circle. Soon a ball of absolute blackness materialized from the absorbed energies, floating a few inches above your stick. Emerging from your trance, you pull your arm back wards and, aiming your palm towards the ball, slam your bony hand into it. For a second nothing happens, but then a blue circle explodes outwards of the ball and the sphere explodes forwards, dousing the area ahead in flames that quickly burn an extremely wide path for you. The flames themselves are completely black, absorbing all light falling onto them. The fire also doesn't seem to go out, even when there is nothing left to burn, it still lingers ahead of you. The ball that the flaming explosion emerged from is still floating above the branch, but it does seem to be a tiny bit smaller. You grab the branch, pulling it out of the ground. As you hold it in hand, it becomes apparent that it allows you to exact some control over the fire as you use it to extinguish the left over flames by simply waving the stick. Still examining your enhanced wooden implement, you also notice the book that you keep in your robe move around. Taking it out, you now that the cover is now labeled as "
Elror's Grimoire". You open it and see that there seems to actually be writing in it now:
"
Simple Rituals:
Ancient Summoning of Spirits ~ Conjures a Corinus, a spirit sphere, from surrounding souls and shadows
Simple Spells:
Shade Blaze ~ Creates a blast of shadow flames proportional to the energy used up from a CorinusThe book appears to be a spell book cataloging the spells you have learned. The simple spells list also contains a few more spell names, however, they seem to be lacking descriptions. A sentence is written at the bottom of the first page, saying: "
A collection of souls is only as strong as its wielder, those who know how to use it can harness its true power. -Elror A."
Equipment changed: Elror's Grimoire,
Corinus CatalystKeep walking, check the damage caused upon the armor and check for a way of fixing it.
(1) After having strengthened your body for a while, the wounds on your chest sting for a moment, reminding you of your recent involuntary clash with the kitsune. Remembering that you simply bandaged your entire upper body without taking your armor off, you wonder how well it is doing. Deciding to check on it, you carefully undo the bandage and ... your chest armor falls to the ground in several pieces. The clothing has been completely ripped apart, you don't think that there's any way that you'll be able to fix this, especially not with the lack of tools that comes with being in a forest. Thinking that you may be able to find some that you could use to at least temporarily hold it together, you start picking up the pieces of your former armor when you are joined by the fox and an interesting looking fellow whom you don't remember seeing before.

Sigh, been playing too much LoL lately. Anyways, yay for horrible self-mutilation through terrible rolls.
Also, finally someone has started testing out the magic system a bit. Now I get to do the really cool (and Fun) stuff.
