Selande stared in amazement. It was beyond her comprehension that she could use magic. She knew of others who could use the Power but this was different, way different than she could handle. But she knew that one of the words she had used could potentially bring her back to her mistress. Problem was, how to do it in such a painless way as possible and without losing limbs or other important parts. She had seen battles with male users wielding the Power using a similar Portal magic chomp armies to bits.

Selande sneaked up the stairs, making sure not to draw unwanted attention. Maybe she could get someone to join her, once she knew that everyone wasn't out to kill her.

((Oh, and would anyone mind if I started practicing mind-magic on the A.I.'s? No one has any sentimentality toward their constructs, right?

If me playing god and using your faux-children as test-subjects for despicable magical torture while occasionally nodding and mumbling "Interesting..." sounds too vicious, I can just make a few of my own. This whole homunculous business is actually quite fortunate. I was about to start experimenting on anyone in combat, considering they have more pressing issues than a scientist playing with their subconscious.))

"Hahaha! It worked! It actually worked! Those fools back at the asylum will never catch me now. With the Grimoire of Lepus, I'm unstoppable! Wait a sec... I'm not alone here, am I? Shit, everyone else here has grimoires too! But my magic will be the best magic! Now, let's see what sort of spells I can whip up! Aha, this seems like a damned silly one!"

If I'm not under attack, then cast Unbearable Bombing Run over the hole in the floor. If someone does decide to go after me, then use Violent Wind Tunnel while pointing at them.

((I haven't kept track of anything since... well, before Yurf went murder-happy. Most of the words I used, IDFK what they're for.

Oh. That word I used with the staff. Fourth-page one. Science it. Use the staff. There might just be some hidden power and I want in on it.))

There are words that make the booze plant possible. Just not those words.
Alright you two. Attempt to murder each other. Last one standing gets to participate in the next test.

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.

Hobitaeaod is the word I'd like scienced. If we know what it does, the staff might make more sense.

"Oh dear."

Tear a strip of cloth off my pants and throw it at the point to see what it does.  Also cast a MAGIC at it.  In either case, give it plenty of space.

Waldo runs down the stairs and grabs the staff. He looks up just in time to see Granny, quite spry for her age, charging at him, all ready to shove him down the stairs to the first floor.

[waldo dex:4 +1]
[Ester dex:3]
[waldo pot:4+1]
[ester end:2]

Waldo shouts his word while stepping to the side and Granny, still trailing streams of arcing electricity, goes flying face first down the stairs. Hard to tell what killed her, the shock or the half a dozen stone steps to the face. Either way, she's deader then dignity in the youtube age.

 [Ester is dead: Waldo gains a point.]


Selande stared in amazement. It was beyond her comprehension that she could use magic. She knew of others who could use the Power but this was different, way different than she could handle. But she knew that one of the words she had used could potentially bring her back to her mistress. Problem was, how to do it in such a painless way as possible and without losing limbs or other important parts. She had seen battles with male users wielding the Power using a similar Portal magic chomp armies to bits.

You commando crawl all the way up to the fourth floor and look around for someone to join up with. You see Thrakor over to the east and Possibility over to the west.


Go upstairs, say word.

You climb upstairs to  the third floor and give your word a try.

[pot:5]

The air just above your palm seems to glimmer, but other then that, nothing happens.

"Hahaha! It worked! It actually worked! Those fools back at the asylum will never catch me now. With the Grimoire of Lepus, I'm unstoppable! Wait a sec... I'm not alone here, am I? Shit, everyone else here has grimoires too! But my magic will be the best magic! Now, let's see what sort of spells I can whip up! Aha, this seems like a damned silly one!"

If I'm not under attack, then cast Unbearable Bombing Run over the hole in the floor. If someone does decide to go after me, then use Violent Wind Tunnel while pointing at them.

[pot:2+1]

A tiny image of a bear, about as big as your fist, and constructed out of molten stone, appears a few feet in front of you. It falls from the ledge and down to the first floor, splatting harmlessly.

I think it's pretty much impossible to stop yourself from metagaming like that so I've always been fine with such things. You don't even have to explain it in character if you don't want to.

"Oh dear."

Tear a strip of cloth off my pants and throw it at the point to see what it does.  Also cast a MAGIC at it.  In either case, give it plenty of space.
Yeah, that thing went away after a few seconds. I thought I said that, but I must have forgotten. Sorry.






Alexander appears on the third story central platform. He looks around, shrugs and then poses.







Alexander:Green: Pool:2/2 [Third floor, central platform]
Phil: Red: pool:1/1 [third floor, east stairs]
Selande: Blue: Pool: 2/4 [second floor, north stairs]
Possibly: Orange: Pool: 1/2 (some cloth, right arm marked, Right arm living steel) [Fourth floor, hiding behind a rock on north west side.]
Susan: Yellow: Pool:3/3 [first floor,center]
Thrakor(10): Purple: Pool:3/3 (Bone deep gash in left upper arm. Bandaged but Left arm useless.Right hand made of electricity.)[Fourth floor, North east side, hiding]
Hydrus: Light blue: Pool:1/2 [fourth floor, south stairs.]
Waldo( 8 ): Dark red: Pool:2/5 (plant staff) [second floor, West stairs.]
