Cut out thy murderous shenanigans ye rotten scoundrels, this realm is for science and meditation
gather some fruits and throw them over my fence to thrakor, hydrus and possibly then use my staff to command some of the bushes to become trees and hide in the entrance to the stairwell. if anyone attacks me electrocute them.
((I rather expected to get a meat tree out of that ))
You gather up a few handfuls of random fruit and pelt them at Thrakor, Hydrus and Possibly. They all seem a bit too interested in either running for their lives or murdering each other to really care much about the fruit landing near them. Oh well.
[will:5]
You tap the staff on the ground and several of the bushes grow and expand, becoming rather odd looking trees.
"Ya' kno' what? Screw this! Ah'm a damn scientist! Ah'll just go. Thunder-Punch, if ye' try to follow, ah will haff ta' kill ye' and yer family. Ah'm done. Ah dinnae even want the points, come to think o' it. Too much heat attached."
Walk away, up the stairs to the fifth floor, away from the conflict. Again. This isn't my way of life, I shouldn't be doing it. If anyone comes near, don't waste Pool. Just punch them with my steel arm. By the way, West stairs, if Waldo doesn't mind a temporary trespass. South Stairs if he doesn't want me to taint it with the blood on my hands.
((Why was I trying to kill someone, again? Now that I think about it, my ancient ass has done perfectly fine without it. I'm going. You won the floor, and my cease-fire. I won't be back. I have science to do.
Sincerest apologies about the attack(s). I'll try to make a gold staff of healing and toss it your way later. After my arm is back in socket, of course. Truce?
Considering I can never negotiate peace without a threat, paradoxically as that is, I have one more thing to say. Derm is now right next to you.))
You head to the south stairs and look around. The only way you can see to get up to the 5th level, a level consisting of nothing but the tall flat tops of the rocks scattered around the 4th level, is to climb one of the rocks. Something very hard to do with a dislocated shoulder.
"Ouch..." The sudden weight had unsurprisingly taken Selande by surprise and as she were pinned there was not much she could do. Unless...
Selande tries to will the tattoo to stop glowing while she thinks "STOP" in her mind.
((Hopefully this is the same type of tattoo that you other guys have gotten, one you can stop with will. If it is I've gotten myself a two-ton punch. If not, I've turned into heavy luggage, quite literary.))
You think "Stop". Nothing happens. Uh-oh.
Alexander, noticing the woman in the middle, realizes that some things just need to be done. He runs up behind her, and punches her in the back of the head. Hard.
Susan yells garstopit at Alexander before running behind her clawed humonculus for protection.
[susan dex:2-1]
[alex dex:1-1]
[susan pot:2+1]
[alexander end:6-1]
Susan turns as Alexander comes in for the kill and shouts a Garstopit at him. The weak green haze that results sets Alex's eyes watering but does little else, and he continues with his attempts to beat a woman to death.
[susan dex:5-1]
[alexander dex:4-1]
Susan ducks under Alexander's blow and promptly runs and hides behind the clawed Homunculus. She lifts the Homunculus' arms and waves them at Alexander while screaming "Sic him!"
Eat my delicious magic!
Execute Magical Donuts!
"I'm not dead? Hell yeah, I'm not dead! But I don't know how long that will last. But..." Hydrus turns to Thrakor and grins like a madman, "I wouldn't take a step back if I were you. It's one hell of a fall. Wouldn't it be a shame if you fell while dodging one of my attacks?"
Point at Thrakor and use My Spell. Laugh if it hits him. Laugh even harder if he jumps off of the ledge while trying to dodge it.
[Thrakor dex:6+2]
[Hydrus dex:1]
Hydrus leaps out from behind cover and attempts to line up his spell, but Thrakor is faster on the draw, zeroing in on his attacker with superhuman speed.
[Thrakor pot:1+1]
[thrakor dex (for aim): 4+2]
Thrakor's bolt of electricity, packing all the power of nasty static cling, strikes Hydrus right in the forehead and makes his hair stand on end, but that is the extent of the damage.
"You're shooting blanks!" Hydrus shouts before speaking his own words.
[hydrus pot:2+1]
[hydrus dex:6]
[Thrakor dex:2+2]
Thrakor calmly walks out of the way as Hydrus summons a stiff breeze, wandering over to the closest rock and taking cover.
"And you're full of hot air!" He shouts at Hydrus, who is also diving back into cover.
Selande's mark suddenly vanishes without any input from her and she can stand once more . Whew. Alexander:Choobakka: Pool:2/2 [first floor, center area]
