Speaking of Null, +2 Str, +2 Will, +3 Pot, +1 Pool.

I thought so- I only added eight points instead of nine.  Let's go +1 Will and fix that silly 5.


And new action, then.  Shoot a bolt of lightning from the staff at Null via will.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

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.
I pm'd piecewise a while back, and he said he'd release all the words after the game and how they work. They were all randomized, so they can be re-randomized anyway. The system will be used for a game. If no one else restarts the arena version, I might. Also, In.

In for the next one if I can't get in for this one.

Also, wouldn't a roguelike of this be cool? I might just make that...

((Speaking of randomly generated words, did you use DF Lang to make these by chance? At least for the words themselves, not necessarily the translations. Because coming up with random gibberish is hard to do on your own. Believe me, I've tried.))

A freind of mine has a program to come up with random gibberish. I'm gonna need to ask him for that.

(Just to let you guys know, anyone can attack Null. Whoever kills him gains his power and causes the "Mystery" occurrence to occur. )

do stuff
You run down from the third floor and to the second floor, north stairwell.

((Just wondering piecewise am I Coming in after 1 more death or 2?))
Uh, few more then that. Waitlist updated in op.

Say Word, Hope for Best
[pot:2]

Nothing happens because you're so dang impotent. Wooo boy that is a lot of blood loss. Perhaps the two are related.

Head to Derm to finish him off by strangling him, Saying Word if he retaliates

There appears to be a giant metal winged bear attacking him at the moment. Whatever.

You charge over and try to strangle him to death.
[dex:4-1]

Derm wiggles about as you try to put a choke hold on him. You manage to get hold of him, roughly, but can't get your hands around his throat. And then Bear happens.


Why isn't my mana pool regenerating the usual way? It has been like that for two turns....


Say word at the bear, hope for the best.
You yell your word at the bear as it charges at you, Ignoring the man who is attempting, poorly, to strangle you.
[pot:6+2]
Your left hand tingles like crazy. This doesn't stop the bear in any way, shape or form.

[bear dex:5]

The bear runs right up to you and proceeds to stomp you and your hanger on flat, Monty Python style.

[Derm Done Died and Javier done died with him. Grin Gains 3 points.]


Speaking of Null, +2 Str, +2 Will, +3 Pot, +1 Pool.

I thought so- I only added eight points instead of nine.  Let's go +1 Will and fix that silly 5.


And new action, then.  Shoot a bolt of lightning from the staff at Null via will.

[dex:2+2]
[null dex:6+2]
[Null pot:2+3]

The air around Null shimmers and darkens, and a great mass appears around him. A great serpent, easily several times larger then Null, fades into being, coiled around him. Burning green vapor leaks from brightly glowing eyes and hisses out between it's fangs.

"Kill him." Null says, pointing at you.

[dex:2+2]
[snake dex:5+1]

[will:6+1]
You can't move in time, but you can think. A bolt of lightning thick as your arm arcs off your staff and into snake as it charges. It strikes home as the snake leaps toward you, fangs bared, and then you're flying back as the weight of the massive creature hits you.

[end:2+1]

You fly back, bouncing, the fragile bones of your wings breaking as you slam into the wall behind you. Ow. You shake the blurriness out of your vision and struggle to your feet as the snake crumbles to ash, dead. Your wings are nothing but dead weight now.




BALMORA appears on the third floor, Center platform and Some Nut appears on the second floor, south stairs.





Tamara Volk:Tsuchigumo550: Pool:3/4 (broken bone bow. Slightl glowing fungus kneepads.Left hand gone.)[first floor, north stairs, hiding in cloth]
