Uh....Throat. EDITING!

BTW, if this hits, it SHOULD be an instand kill. The Corroded Artery in the neck is very vulnerable to this kind of attack, and if cut deeply, it will cause instant or near instant death.

I know Anatomy, it will. Kind of funny thing about this though. You are almost certainly going to die now, hilarity being that considering you can't miss, the only way you aren't going to take Josh down with you is a two or one.

Yay rivalry.
So unless I get medical attention net turn, we'll BOTH die? Hmm....Cool.

Let's address these questions one at a time.

I assume you can telepathically do that with about the concentration of white noise. So unless something startles you in an overwhelmingly bad way, then you can keep it up.

You can do it. So long as you don't see anything in the town that upsets your delicate mental state. Which includes any form of death, torture, or anything that might involve incredible breaks from your view of society.

How's he doin' that? He has some ability at controlling electricity. He just manipulated the charges to send the cloud careening toward the village. Or something more scientific that I don't feel like researching. Translation: "It's magic. I ain't gotta explain sh*t."

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

{N/A} You walk back into the cave. {1} You pray to the God of Order and Justice(that is literally his name. Pompous bastard....) but he refuses to answer. Stating annoyance at this particular area's sudden dependence on powers Divine.
Wait... Refuses to answer? Stating annoyance at this particular area's sudden dependence on powers Divine? That contradicts itself! Sorta...

Put one of the bronze daggers in my right hand and exit the cave. Look for the animal I heard earlier.
Was I carrying two daggers with my left hand that long?

It's more along along the lines of: "The God of Justice ignores you. Turning around to the nearest Angel of Justice and venting about how annoying the recent burst of Divine activity in the same one mile wide area is."

Plot-Hole fixed. Duct tape solves everything.

I AM THE EEL MAGE, IT IS ME.

It'd be nice to notice something killable in the tundra. Why is it so empty?


I assume I don't need to put "CONTINUE TRAVEL" in just about every turn, since I'm moving forward anyway. Unless I'm not. Do clarify.

Keep chatting with Darken, focusing on learning Dwarvish and teaching Arken...uh...whatever language I speak.

oh man, I feel seriously sick. Sorry if I'm not that active.

Blenk'll try and reach out into the surrounding plants and roots, and try to absorb some of the energy from them. Not enough to harm them; - Just to regain strength and magical potency.

Ah. -sips *Mint Tea*- Updating a forum game before doing urgent semi-important paper due the very next day?

But of course.

Enjoy ya' limey bastards, I have to go research GIS.

Try to speak to/understand Arken.

{5} You learn a small spattering of Dwarvish. Enough to ask him where you are and what he knows of why you came to be here.

Special circumstances demand I make some accommodations for this roll. This roll will determine the life of death of one to two characters. Therefore I will actually roll to see who hits first. This will probably not be emulated ever again.

Speed Rolls!

Bork: {4}
Josh: {1+3}

Are you kidding me..... Screw it. Simultaneous.

Bork: {3**} Bork manages to slice open the carotid artery and {3} manages to maintain consciousness for one more strike, this one glancing away. He falls into unconsciousness.
Josh: {3+3} Josh brutalizes one of Bork's arms into a meaty sack with his hammer and chops off the other. Leaving him a complete cripple.

Josh's God roll: {1-1+1+1=2} Vaarnien hears your plea and ignores it.

Valentine
Quote

{N/A} Valentine zips over to Ynot's explosive display and goes through his repertoire of "ooh"'s and "aah"'s.

Unknown Human

{N/A} Unknown Human walks over to the Bolthole and stands over the entrance, poised to enter.

{N/A} You rearrange your arsenal and walk out of the cave, looking about for the animal you detected previously, {5} You spot it nuzzling about in the tall grass, it's a Boar Sow. Wild but not hostile.

Ynot
Quote
I AM THE EEL MAGE, IT IS ME.

It'd be nice to notice something killable in the tundra. Why is it so empty?

{N/A} You scream out to the newly startled townsfolk: "[color=lime green]I AM THE EEL MAGE, IT IS ME.[/color]"

SUDDENLY POLAR BEARS. WITH FREAKIN' LASERS ATTACHED TO THEIR FREAKIN' HEADS.*

Grek
Quote

{6} You learn a small bit more of Dwarvish. You fail to teach him any of yours as he notices you already know Dwarvish, so why should he start from scratch and learn yours? Bah, no time to waste on such pleasantries.

Blenk
Quote
Blenk finally constructs his ultimate creation!

{N/A} Blenk has done it! He has created a circlet of steel decorated with decorative nigh-valueless gems and enchanted to enhance his control of nature and earth.

A.I. {1} Sarron
Quote

{1} You try to put out the fire, but only make it yet larger, spreading it to nearby trees. Smokey does not approve.


NPCs:

Arken
Quote

{N/A} Peace friends, one at a time. I will do my best to answer your questions.

I haven't the slightest idea how it is you came to this island; but, I can tell you of it.

You are standing on the northern tip of Archon, one of the largest islands on Equus. We are in a small inlet just a few day's walk north to the Ocean. If you head to the south-east you should find a one of the three great cities of Archon, Morgana. Seek Tarsus, she will help you.***


Spot/Listen Check:
{4} You all hear the raucous shrieks/wails/screams/roars/cries/bawling/sobs/etc of pain emanating from a previously unseen hole in the ground. Ynot sees the tracks he has been following seem to lead to a small copse of trees ahead. Ynot also notices the lasers on the two polar bear's heads are made of plastic.

**: Yes, a three does get an artery slit. You have figure he can't miss, there are three major blood vessels that are directly in his sights, and you are bent forward, the perfect stance for a slit throat.

***: I know, if you two know little of Dwarvish then why does the mountain hick sound like a well-spoken gentlemen? Well, I don't feel like saying all that in caveman and it would be counterproductive anyway. Acceptable break from reality.

By the way, all of Bork's weapons were dropped because of his newly mangled state. Happy looting!

If there are any problems with this, that would be because it is rushed. Please state them, but by problems I mean typos or screw ups in the statuses, not griping about how rolls turned out.
You two know who you are.

Clamp one hand over my wound to stem the bleeding as best I can and prey to all gods to heal me and remember the sacrifices, use other hand to finish Bork off by cutting off or pulverizing his head, or both, if I manage to heal then collect the dead humans weapons.

(( Thank fuck only one attack landed, I have a final chance of 2 rolls to save myself with praying to the gods and since you survived next turn is combat turn 3 which means yeti regen kicks in and with luck will save my life. ))
