((Arcane affects arcane))
((Why is there an element that makes any kind of defense pointless? Do I need a mirror, or something?))
You need Null's sword. It was able to touch Thrakor without disintegrating while he was arcane.

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

Actually, that's an intresting idea. You could use the hypnotization (?) word and enslave people, then draw runes on them. Mobile magic cannons, anyone?

"~Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle!~"

Moar science.

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

A kitten drops onto your head.

"Well, if that isn't the most adorable magical fuck up I don't know what is."

I'd love to know what you were trying to do.




Thrakor shakes his head.  "Just stay on this level.  Let's go!"

Get inside the range of his halberd and break his kneecap with the mace.



Sucker, taking a polearm into a one-on-one duel.

[dex:1+2]
[Null dex:4+2]

[dex:1+2]
[Null dex:5+2]
[Null str:4+1]
[end:2+2]

You raise your club and charge forward, swinging it in a hard, slow arc. Null side steps the blow, spins behind you, shifting his grip closer to the blade of his weapon, and tries to sever your Achilles tendon. He catches you a bit too low, but carves a burning, flesh melting gash into the back  of your heel.

You stumble, bleeding and in pain, but turn  to face him.

"Some things beyond the gate don't respond to magic. Some don't respond to blades. You must be proficient with both. "


"~Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle!~"

Moar science.

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

A kitten drops onto your head.

"Well, if that isn't the most adorable magical fuck up I don't know what is."

I'd love to know what you were trying to do.

((I was hoping that Derm might get turned into a perfectly normal cat for fun in a completely nonlethal and nonthreatening manner. Needless to say, that didn't work, though for two ones rolled that went remarkably well.))

"~Aw, who-is-a-good-kitty? You-are! Youuuu-aaaare! I-believe-I-shall-name-youuuuu... what-is-an-expressive-name-oh-I-know... TOD-1...a! YES! Tod-1a!~"

Pick up and pet Tod-1a. Utilize powers of creation.
[pot:2+2]
You get a normal sized cat. A normal sized cat made of burning, horrible black green poison. It dissipates a moment later. Huh.

Dammit.

Go north and try again.
I WILL FEAST ON YOUR FLESH! Pounce on my prey like a jungle cat, then start biting into his neck.

"There we go. Much better."
Push my thumbs into Baba's eyes.
[Nahere dex:3]
[Baba dex:2-1]
[Derm dex:6]

Derm runs over to the north stairs and gives his spell another try.
[pot:6]

He points his new staff at the pair of combatants and whispers his words before shouting "I'MMA FIRING MAH LASER!"

A magic circle appears in front of him, and then another and another. They crackle with arcane energy and slowly merge together. The beam of arcane energy that bursts forth a moment later is bright enough to  send Derm scuttling back, blinded, and a dozen feet thick.

[baba dex:6-1]
[nahere dex:5]

Nahere and, surprisingly, baba both manage to jump out of the way, narrowly avoiding the fate of nonexistence that the  stairs behind them suffers.

Nahere's aura fades away.

"Not as poor as it might have gone. Do I need oxygen to live right now? Probably not."

Check if I need to breathe. If I do, Words A. If not, Words B.

((Being encased in nigh-unbreakable material isn't as bad as you might imagine if you think about it properly.))
You don't seem to need to breathe. Thats helpful.

[pot:2+1]
You're not exactly sure what your words made, you can't see it after all, being in the diamond sarcophagus and all. But you hear something screech, like hot metal hitting water.


Activate the circle!

Hope nothing bad happens...

The ink making up the circle glows bright green and plants sprout from it, growing up and intertwining into a mass of blooming greenery.



((Does my character have an obsession with bleeding out or something?))

"Ummm that looks problematic" Well then try again and if unsuccessful say "zaral" and cauterize it with that if successful then will into hand shape, if anyone attacks run away

[pot:5]
Your attempt to put a mark on an arm you don't have goes poorly. So you try the back up plan.
[pot:3]
[end:2]
You manage to conjure some flame, though not much, and burn the wound shut; but the pain of it all is so great that you barely remain conscious. You're not gonna be able to fight very well for the moment.

Wait, we don't need circles for runes.

Sketch PM Rune on the ground and activate it. I assume there's still useable ink?

Go for another disabling blow- aim for his arms this time.

Yeah, not even gonna roll for that. Even on a 5 all thats gonna happen is that it will appear a few feet away from you and nothing will happen.


Wait, we don't need circles for runes.

Sketch PM Rune on the ground and activate it. I assume there's still useable ink?
I'll  save you a roll too. Thats the same rune you put in your circle. Same thing is gonna happen.

"Worn off already? Damnit."
"Cainthalsaz Shorbitael."
If derm does anything other than leave, tackle him; otherwise attempt to push my thumbs into Baba's eyes.
Break on of Nahere's knees with a side kick, then bit his neck.

Fuck.

Quickly activate plan PIOOMY.
[derm dex:1]
[Nahere dex:6]
[Baba dex:4-1]
[nahere pot:2+1]
A very weak arcane aura appears around Nahere. He immediately tries to murder Baba.
[baba dex:3-1]
[nahere dex:3]
Nahere can't get a good hold on baba, but he manages to bitchslap baba witha powerful, corrosive arcane backhand.
[baba end:5+3]
Baba loses a bit of skin, but nothing major.

Derm, in the mean time, tries something that has no chance of succeeding because things don't work that way, and then scurries away into the east edge of the level.


"What about these rune things that appeared in my book?  What can you tell me of them?"

Go for another disabling blow- aim for his arms this time.

"Perhaps it is nostalgic, if it is capable of such things. Maybe lines of past and present are blurring? Who can say."

[dex:2+2]
[null dex:5+2]
[null str:4+1]

Null slices the weight of your club off, leaving you with nothing but a handle.
