Much of the murder that happens is unexpected, and that's never given a penalty.

Speaking of murder, +1 Pot, +2 Will.  No more 1s with this staff!

"Lady Fortuna, why do ye' want me ta' be an archer so damn badly?"

Word. Other Things, perhaps some more possible things.

I have lived through sixty seven turns of the madness; and I plan on living for a good while more. My classical defenses; secrecy, hermitage, strength, flight; have failed others, thus I fear they shall fail me as well. This should be interesting.

I wonder why nobody has attempted to overhear what everyone else is saying, word wise.

Is it even possible for newcomers to stand a chance at this point?

10 bonus points for you!

Pretty sure they have and it didn't work.

No one seems to be ganging up on new players, so if they know a good spell, they might be able to catch someone with many points flat footed (or kill steal a titan fight.)

Probably. Most characters have a fear of getting too powerful and therefore too desirable. Ironically this actually turns into a theoretical armor for OP characters. Killing generally makes you a very good target until you become OP, which is when you aren't worth the effort. Being a new character means you are almost worthless and will just make the murderer a juicier target for aspiring warlords, such as myself.

As for vocabulary, we've tried. Apparently everyone is whispering.

Quiet down, gaze at Grin.
Uhm... ok. It is... a bit chilly, today. Even through all this cloth, I can... feel it.

Crawl over to the giant cloth pile from a couple turns ago and wrap it around myself, and Grin should she not swat me away.

You crawl down stairs and carefully shove the pile of cloth back to the stairs, avoiding the attention of the bear. You crawl into the pile and motion for Grin to join you. You wonder how he'll take this invitation.

Much of the murder that happens is unexpected, and that's never given a penalty.

Speaking of murder, +1 Pot, +2 Will.  No more 1s with this staff!


Go hide in the rafters.
(no fourth pool point? How odd.)

You flap up all the way to the glowing crystals providing light to the arena and hide among them.

"Lady Fortuna, why do ye' want me ta' be an archer so damn badly?"

Word. Other Things, perhaps some more possible things.

((I am still amazed that I'm alive. Then again, being the only person who can fly and being on an unreachable area doesn't exactly hurt my longevity.))
(Psssst. You didn't send me a word. Or anything really. Not in my email either, that I saw at least.)

I wonder why nobody has attempted to overhear what everyone else is saying, word wise.

Sure! Remember that OnyxJew over there killed a guy with a ton more points them him to get where he is right now. Plus there's always another newbie floating around that you can gain more  power from.  No one said this was going to be easy. Or fair.

Besides, something has to change eventually right?


I'm here!! Wasn't paying attention!
Say Words

[pot:2+1
[will:6-1]


You see a bit of a shimmer way up near Thrakor, but nothing seems to happen.

(He presumably wasn't expecting it! Shouldn't that give him a penalty?)

Words, etc
"Why do people always do this to me! Is "Gentleman" Bob Butler destined to die of a broken heart? Truly, it is a tragedy!"

Perform Plan Pink Penguins and Pachyderms.

[Bob dex:5+1]
[Phil dex:3+1]

[Bob dex:6+1]
[phil dex:3+1]

[bob str:3-1]

Bob runs at Phil, screaming about how theres "only enough room for one sensibly named person in this pit," and tries to shove him into the same statue phil was trying to murder him with moments ago. Bob's hands hit home and...nothing happens. He kind of shoves weakly for a few seconds but them gives up. He shakes his head in disgust and then yells a word.

[bob pot:1]
[bob end:1]

Bob vanishes in a burst of electricity and failure, reducing himself to ash and taking his power with him.

You swear you hear something echoing through the pit as he vanishes.




THE CYCLE OF REINCARNATION CONTINUES AS TALOS APPEARS ATOP ONE OF THE 5th FLOOR PILLARS.

Talos glances around.
Here again? Great.
Listen for words. Slowly sidle down the pillar. Keep on listening for words.
