I'm hoping that the game restarts with a shuffle of words or, maybe the list of possible effects is passed around- This is just too much fun to die.
I have a plan for a new game like this. It'll have more...freeform magic.

Insta-reserve, also id love a word reshuffle for the next "round"

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.

Susan licks the human suit and says hello.
You lick the inside of your human suit's mouth. From the inside.

You say hello. It doesn't talk back.


Say word
Head downstairs with new knowledge


[pot:6+1]
Your right arm tingles. You decide to go down stairs with your tingly arm. Perhaps to get medical attention for the stroke you may or may not be having.

Crap, I was just about to change my action...not that it would probably help...

Say word!
You mutter something while staring at your bleeding stump. Probably something like "Oh fuck This hurts so much."




"And now, you die. Say hello to my uncle while you're gone." Derm laughed, and snapped his fingers.

Derm it. (It being Talos.)

Duck for cover. Action.
Spoiler: Known Words (click to show/hide)

[Derm gains initiative because Talos is stunned]

[pot:4+2]
[Talos dex:1+1]

A black tear in reality opens up under Talos and a dozen thin, insectoid proboscises impale him from somewhere beyond space and time. The thin chitin needles blossom into barbed hellflowers and tear Talos into the dark in a few large chunks.

{TALOS IS DEAD. DERM GAINS A POINT}


((Gah, I didn't think I was gone that long.))

"Well that was interesting. Good luck with yer blood magic."

Words and Will. Climb out of dome if successful.

[pot:1+1]
Nothing happens.
[will:5-1]

The bear roars, beats it's massive metal wings and immediately charges at Derm and Phil, who are just kind of hanging around near it. It brings one massive paw down in a scything blow at both of the men.

[Bear dex:6]
[Derm dex:5-1]
[Phil dex:6+1]

Phil backflips like a boss and easily avoids the blow but Derm can't quite avoid it and takes a giant steel bearclaw to the...everywhere.

[derm end:3]

Derm gets his newly empowered ass swatted across the level, completely losing his left arm to the claws and then breaking both legs as he cartwheels into a wall three dozen feet away.



Holy update storm, Batman!  At least now I don't have to feel bad about wanting my pool to regenerate.

Thrakor flies down to the first floor, hovering about 6 feet off the ground and facing Null.

He eyes Null.  "So you're the reason for all this, and I am to fight you?  Let's do it, then."

So it begins!


Thrakor resists a sudden urge to scream about how he hates everything.  Where'd that come from?



Those +3 stats are trouble.

You fly down and face Null, doing your best to hover a few feet off the ground despite how hard that is to do with wings.

"So you're the reason for all this, and I am to fight you?  Let's do it, then."

"As you wish." He says, standing from his throne.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Null stares at you and you feel your skin crawl but nothing happens.  You decide to retaliate with something a bit more powerful.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You snap your hand up, aiming in a rush and fire off a lightning fast burst of black, corrosive tendrils from your finger tip. It screams through the air toward Null but just before hitting him it seems to hit an invisible wall, bunching up into a wad of burning toxic ooze. The Ooze consolidates itself into a twitching mass in front of Null and then fires itself back at you.

[dex:5+2]

You evade the poison easily, dodging to the side as the toxin slams into the wall behind you.




STEVE
APPEARS ON THE THIRD FLOOR, IN THE SOUTH EAST AREA

"Gurk!"  Derm says.He glares up at the man who had greeted him earlier. "You there," he winces. "Tell me how to fix this and I shall help you."

Point goes to the mana pool!

Are you ready, world?
Are you ready to see what happens when you seal innocence away?
When innocence... in darkness... ferments into evil?

Shouldn't my pool have gone up? I'm going to need to escape this dome.

"Nice try, and nice trick, but I'm not interested in dying today."

Command the Electric Wall to surround and crush Null!  Evade attacks!


Can I get my current stats?  I get the feeling I brainfarted and did something dumb with them.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

Watching this confrontation, all I can think is that you said everything Null is currently doing can be done by anyone.

I want that damn wall; Mirror of Magic.
