I MADE A LITTLE PERSON!
Does that mean I figured out the word for human? Nice.

Susan tries communicating with him. "Hello", she says, wondering how he will respond.

He doesn't respond. He doesn't even look at you, he just stares ahead blankly.

"Oh my! Vhere am I now, I vonder? And vhat's zis book?"

Say Magic Word A while looking off into the distance!
[pot:5+1]
Nothing seems to happen.

Silver wings?  Damn, that's not what I thought that word was at all.


"Oi! Crystal golem!  Go break up that fight!"

Attempt to command the crystal golem to go break up that fight.  Also put on wings and see if I can fly.  (Jump in place- don't do anything silly like jump off the ledge.)
You think your hardest, pointing and gesturing, yelling "OI, Go thataway!" but it is all for naught, the Living Crystal doesn't seem to want to follow your commands.

As per the wings, you can't even lift them; they each weigh several hundred pounds.

"The word for shaping humans was just said aloud?! If that moron summons a homunculous out of that freaky darkness, I will personally slit her throat."

More Generic action. If Irony does what is detailed above, kill the infernal creature, then her. Kind of forgot Irony's gender, so guessing female.

((Please tell me I'm not the only one who is getting increasingly worried by Irony? I do not want a bestial daemon running amok.

It's nothing personal, it's just business.))
Well, you didn't send me a word so I'll assume this is actual generic action. And Because Irony isn't summoning hellspawn, you're just gonna sit here.




((Shouldn't I be getting a +1 to Dex?
Also, nice shootin', pard! :P Glad that electrical storm didn't hit me.))

"Gah! Shit!"
Yurf went wide-eyed as the seemingly-live darkness reached for him from the woman's strange whip. He regretfully shoved the hilt of his sword away from him, then turned and rushed down the stairs, shouting to Waldo as he did so,
"Can ya blast this one, too?!"

>Forcefully shove the sword away, letting go before the darkness comes into contact with me.

>Then flee down the stairs to Sanya's staff, quickly touching it with my mummified hand. If that has no nasty effects, pick it up with my left hand for use as a club. Prepare to defend self from attackers/dive away from magical attacks as appropriate. If I have a chance, run back to the south stairs and stay out of sight.

>Once thus armed, go help Waldo lay a beatdown on Alga with my new whacking stick.
((darn i was afraid of that... Probably should have posted in thread to tell you i wanted to swap targets instead of just PMing you... Oh well :( ))

run towards yurf to defend him against the abomination alga has become, yell my word at her as i move and if she is not incapacitated dodge behind a boulder or pillar.

+1 dexterity

hold fast my friend and i will assist thee.
Say Words, do Things.

[alga will:5-1]

[alga dex:4-1]
[yurf dex:1+1]
[Waldo dex:2]

[alga pot:3+2]


Alga controls herself just enough to shout out two words as Yurf throws his sword away and scrambles for the stairs. A ball of darkness a foot and a half across bleeds into being, a boiling sphere of shadow and eyes. It hangs in place for an instant before firing forward...and traveling all of 5 feet before hitting Yurf.

[Yurf end:1+1]

The ball slams into Yurf and pops like a water balloon, it's unholy contents spilling out over him. The fluid darkness twitches violently before being seemingly sucked into  a pinhole sized point in the center of his chest. Yurf pats himself down in surprise and has just enough time to grin triumphantly at Alga before a black tear opens in his chest. A dozen thin arms burst forth and taloned fingers dig themselves into his flesh, catching hold of limbs and head. And then they pull, tearing him in on himself, collapsing him into his own body in a cacophony of breaking bones and tearing flesh. In an instant he's gone and all thats left is a puddle of blood and a closing gash in reality.

Waldo, actively running toward Yurf when this happens, turns his attention to Alga. He lines himself up just right and shouts his words.

[waldo pot:3+1]
[Alga end:6-1]

A beam of concentrated electricity erupts from the area just in front of Waldo and travels the few feet it needs to before slamming into Alga. She spasms uncontrollably, literally smoking as arcs of electrical discharge scorch her flesh, and collapses, unconscious.


[Yurf is dead. Alga gains 4 points]









The living crystal joins the newly formed homunculus and settles down near it. 




Selande appears on the second floor, north stairs.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Nothing seems to happen.

Susan pokes her homunculus to see if it will respond to touch.

It seems to notice you, staring at you with vague comprehension, but doesn't do anything.

raging at his friends untimely demise and his own inability to save him waldo runs over to algas unconscious form and stomps the everliving crap out of her skull after yelling rothon at her for hopefully the last time, if attacked by another party cast another one on them as well.

You run over to Alga's corpse and raise your foot to crush her skull when you notice something move out of the corner of your eye.

[dex:6]

You throw yourself back as the whip lashes violently through the air where you were moments ago. Alga's arm and the whip are still moving, twisting at unnatural angles, even while she lays unconscious. You decide it's best to just fry her from a distance. You step into range and shout your word before jumping back as the whip comes around for another blow. 

[pot:5+1]

Alga vanishes into the storm of electrical discharge and when it finally ends there is nothing left but ash and a large glowing orb. The glowing orb drifts over to you and burrows into your chest.

[alga is dead. You gain 5 points.]


Bloody useless wings and crystal.  Screw em.


More Magic!

[pot:3+1]

A point of...it's hard to describe: it's just a gray point of absolute nothing, a vacuum existence into which the air and everything around it begins to be violently pulled toward that point. However, it seems as though it's all in slow motion, the air and dust and bits of debris being sucked in at a leisurely pace.

"-on't go th- W-where am I? I was just... Never mind that. I need to return. What is this?"

"I get the gist of it. Lets try 'Hancal Prathel Zentol Celthel'."
Selande also take a better look at her surroundings. She seem not quite able to see were everyone is in relation to her current position.
From what you can see, there's one girl down in the center of the first floor, another guy over near the east stairs, and a guy up on the third floor.

You try out your words, draining your entire pool in one go.
[pot:5-1]
A  hodgepodge of sheets of paper, bits of silver, a few gallons of water and what appears to be a black tear in the fabric of reality appear before you. The void doesn't last long, but the rest of the materials do.


"Timezones...."

Try again with Generic.

((I actually was going to send you a word, but I had to get off and didn't get access back until now.))
[pot:6+1]

The ground in front of you cracks open violently, a fissure rending through the stone and shooting off directly away from you. You can make out heavy green stalks and roots tearing through the ground as the borrowing, ground crawling attack continues until it hits the wall. When it hits the wall the plants burst from the ground, great loops of thorned vines and sharpened roots thrusting themselves up out of the ground like a foliage landmine.



Hydrus Poofs into being on fourth floor, south stairs.

We used to have maps with dots representing everyone's location, but they were shitty so we stopped using them. Now they're just kinda used for voices if the character wants to.
