Think. Come on, of all the words I've used, I should know something... able to get through metal...
Damn, I need one more pool for both my plans... Well, can't say this isn't damn good protection. I just wish we had some light.
"Not that we need any... of course..."
You sit, or more accurately lay, and think.
Dammit, Onyx, you shoulda let me mercy-kill you when I had the chance...
Grovel at Thrakor, and Null, too.
You bow at Null, then Thrakor, then Null again, then Thrakor again. Neither seem to notice.
((Right. I have six power and one point of magic in a room full of people who can shoot giant lazer beams and what looks like fifty words.
I have one, and it's on my other computer.
Hopefully I don't just die in two turns again, because I am basically fucked.
*Thinks*
Can I make an entire action a PM?))
(Just make sure to always still make a post even if it just says "Do magical thing." Simply for the sake of me remembering you sent me an action.)
You walk up to Talos, who is maybe 20 feet away, and shout a word at him.
[pot:3+2]
[talos dex:5+1]
Talos leaps out of the way as a big ol' lump of rubber appears right where he used to be. Unfortunately for him he leaps right straight into one of the stone pillars.
[talos end:2-1]
And breaks his goddamn arm.
Say word, do not wait for materialization JUST RUN
[pot:1+1]
As you run back to the stairwell two tiny bits of material drop to the ground in front of where you used to be standing: A tiny lump of magnet and a tiny lump of flesh.
Good fight. May the last of the Founding Eight rest in peace.
That's a nice trick of a spell. Hope Mr. Null doesn't mind me waiting until I have a fuller pool, because damned if I can find the pool recharging spell I want.
Speaking of Null, +2 Str, +2 Will, +3 Pot, +1 Pool.
Thrakor lets loose a maniacal laugh as the power flows into him. Hearing the commotion below, he watches the proceedings. So... this is what it's all about?
Go and collect the Thunderball. Observe and study Null.
Were you planning this from the start?
You fly down to the fourth floor and stop the thunderball from rolling off the edge with your staff. You can't pick it up though, because you only have the one lightning hand and that one is holding the staff.
You look down at Null. You can't see hardly anything of him, he's completely covered except for his eyes and ends of his fingers. Wonder why that is? Regardless, that sword he has looks pretty nasty and if it took 20 kills to bring him here, then he has to be pretty tough.
(Pretty much. Not from the VERY beginning, but maybe a week in or so. I didn't do much world building at first just in case this thing didn't go anywhere. By the way, Null there is using the same system you are, he doesn't have anything you or anyone else couldn't have.)
((Found it. Most certainly did not notice that before, fascinating.
Of course, now we already know what that something is, so a bit late.))
Words and Will.
[will:3-1]
The bear grumbles but doesn't move.
[pot:2+1]
A mark appears on your leg and instantly activates, transforming your flesh into...flesh. In all, nothing happens.
