(ignore the "HALTOL HALTOL HALTOL)
John wakes up and takes a look around. People. Trying to kill him, if he guesses right. Time to run.
John jogs up the stairs behind him while quickly looking at his book. He shouts the first two words he can pronounce while waving his right arm frantically behind him.
[pot:6-1]
You jog up the stairs while shouting your words. You stop half way up as the air in front of you crackles with random electrical discharge and several large hunks of crude metal materialize and fall to the ground.
open book, point at Possibly, say something
[pot:1]
[end:4+1]
You speak your words and immediately lurch forward, holding your stomach before vomiting profusely. Mixed in with the stomach acid and last night's fish and bread are small hunks of black stone.
Stand, if not standing. Look around. Look down at the book in my hands. Open it to Unspecified page, say Generic Word of Power after facing forward, toward the pillared area. If attacked, dodge as necessary and await further instruction. Do not engage. Avoid conflict if possible. Enter the South stairwell. Run up the stairs until I reach the third floor. If I get onto the third floor, run to a point approximately halfway between two stairwells. Read another word while looking toward the stairwell I exited, Generic Word of Power
Well, that became long. Eh, I suppose doing nothing but repeated Cause and Effect A.I. for a long-distance drone can become tedious.
And yeah, I'm going to color-code my words.
You stand. You look around and see what was already said, with the addition that several people seem to be running, some for the center of the room and the sword, others for the stairs. One man is vomiting.
You look at the book. It looks fairly ordinary, leather bound with velum pages but not particularly magical or old. You open it to a page and speak one of the words.
[pot:3+1]
Several large but ragged edged pieces of white cloth appear in front of you and flutter to the ground. Well, that would be great if you were a magic Tailor but not very helpful right now.
Run to South stairs.
Run up South stairs until I reach the sword level.
Run to sword.
Grab sword.
Let me know if this is too much for one turn.
Edit: Sword is on the ground floor!
Edit: Sword is on the ground floor!
((Oh, so it is. I'd assumed it was on the highest floor, but I guess in retrospect we wouldn't be able to see it in that case...))
Dash for the sword!
[Serus dex:2+1]
[Doodles dex:5-1]
Serus and Doodles both make a mad dash for the center of the ring and the sword in the covered gazebo area. Doodles makes it there an instant before Serus and scoops the blade off the ground as Serus skids to a stop a few feet away.
As soon as somebody approaches the sword in the center of the level, point at them and yell "SHAREEB!". If they are badly hurt, run up and grab the sword. If not, hide!
You wait till two people have run up to the sword and then point your finger at them and Shout your magic word.
[pot:2+1]
A few marble sized bits of metal materialize in front of you and plink to the ground.
Uh...You cover your head and curl into a ball, hoping that no one will notice you.
"Niergh..." Looking around Kin see a strange place with unfamiliar people all around. Still slightly confused he realize that he isn't wearing what he had last nig- "Wait, what did I wear last night?". Greatly shaken over the memory loss of yesterdays events he notice that he also holds a book. Looking around to see that no one is about to pounce him with questions or other horrible things he can't handle right now he flips the few pages the book holds.
Not able to make heads or tails of the book he picks a few words that he thinks looks interesting. As Kin is about to say "Kelio Roth" he makes sure once again no one is looking at him. If anyone would be foolish enough to do that at that moment he will point at that person and shout it instead and then run upstairs. If not, Kin hides upstairs anyway.
[pot:6]
The air in front of of you distorts for a moment seems to solidify into some sort of barely visible lump before it jerks wildly into the air and then disappears. Huh.
You close the book and Run up the stairs onto the next level.
"I'm not any good with a sword, but one of these guys might be. I'll need to do something about it before they can."
Point at the sword, and yell my Generic Word of Power.
Just ignore my earlier action, the sword has changed everything. And since I'm yellow now, my text will be too.
[pot:1+1]
You point at the sword and speak your words. You feel the skin on your left arm tingle but nothing happens.
