"God dammit, be right back."
QUickly rush back outside and say things.
You run back outside and do some of the magic that you do do.
[pot:6]
A tattoo appears and immediately activates, transforming your flesh into pure repulsive force.
See if I can control stone by shaping Circle A3 in some stony surface.
I uh...don't see why you would be able to do that...So you can't.
"Oh gods, it's going to breathe fucking fire at me, isn't it? Kill it chair! Kill it with bling!"
Hop off of my throne before commanding it to become a giant floating gold hand and rip the stoner's lower body off.
Hop off of my throne before commanding it to turn into a big old golden hammer and fly into the hands of Syvarris' minion. Then get the hell out of that room.

[will:6+1]
You leap off the lump of gold as it transforms into an enormous golden hammer that menaces with spikes of gold and is encrusted with gold, gold and gold. It's engraved with an image of Larry. Larry is giving the thumbs up.
The hammer flies across the room and into the hands of the Necrotic Giant.
"And with that, I'm out of here bitches. Later."
You run back into the the basement hallway, leaving Syvarris to deal with both the monstrosities on his own.
HA HA. HA. SCIENCE SUCCESS!
Calmly rest while science juice regenerates.
Ask if I can have the Metal Rod, for sciencing.
"I wonder... If I play around with these runes a bit, and put them on something that isn't just earth... I need Pool though.
After obtaining the Rod, watch the area with the death-crows carefully.
Rather then go all the way down stairs to get a rod from the people down there, A rod you really shouldn't know about, You grab a 2 foot long copper rod from the pile of crap Thrakor magic'd into existence. Your rod in hand-har har- you walk over to the very edge of the temple grounds and look down on the path. You can't see anything of the fight going on below, thanks to the cloud cover.
"Time to see if my new, and improved, crackpot theory works."
The Return of Red Wizard
[pot:2+1]
You summon a solid diamond tooth pick. Yep. That worked. You stick the toothpick in your mouth and run down stairs into the storage room. Another chrome hopper wanders out of behind a box.
"It would appear," You say, shifting the toothpick to the side of your mouth, "That this area has a high spawn rate. Perhaps simply charging in here over and over like morons was a poor idea!"
Well... this looks like it's gonna take a while. I'll come back after they clear the room and hope there is still something useful to me.
Go upstairs one floor and look around to see what all is there.
You wander upstairs and look around. Well..there are lots of very carefully carved pillars here, and a door on either side of the room, as well as a door out to the temple grounds and a spiral staircase up and down.
hmRun down the path;Yelling Garstopit if anything gets too close
[spd:5]
[SC spd:2]
"Ahem. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
You sprint away through the mist, down the path and out of the cloud cover. You find yourself on the lower part of the switchback, just above a village carved into the side of the mountain.
"That's more like it!"
Head into town and explore, especially looking for a quest or trainer.
You continue down the path until you come across a structure. It's an ancient looking 15 foot tall wall of rough cut, cobbled together stones and mortar.The wall completely blocks off the pass, save for a small doorway in it's center. To the left is the solid rock wall of the mountain and to the right is a 30 foot drop off down to the first roofs of the village. Beyond the gate the path takes another sharp turn to the right and continues down to the village.
The ground here looks recently trodden; and not by human feet.
use a sheet or robe to create a makeshift sling or pouch and stick all my loot inside it, walk over to the dooray to the store room and wait.
Hand tsuchigumos character a knife and a candle then go back to watching frankenstein vs the chrome hopper.
If either the chrome hopper or the walking bellows get close enough to the doorway to be within spell range dart in and yell my word then step back out
You use a sheet from the beds and make yourself a hobo bag. You dump your junk into the sack and walk upstairs and out to the temple grounds. You hand Sanya a candle and one of your knives, and thats all you can do for now.
Well, carp. I knew I should have used eyebeams... On the other hand, I now know my gauntlets don't interfere with that spell!
Command minion to pick up Wwolin's hammer, then kill the hopper! Say Zentol at the new monster, unless hopper attacks me. Then run away after that.

[end:4-1]
You duck as the smolderer unleashes a gout of flame from it's distended maw and shout a word back in it's face.
The entire room shakes and the candles keeping it lit go out. A new light appears in the pitch darkness of the room, a red glow from a growing magic circle. Slowly it draws itself in the air before you, a massively complex thing with eight fold symmetry. And then it opens, its eight sections sliding back and revealing what lies beyond. You can see nothing beyond a vague shadow, a dark hole in the pitch black. Something comes out. The glow of the Smolderer vanishes, as does the chirping of the chrome hoppers. Something Burns in your gut, sends you to your knees, coughing bile and blood.
The candles light again a moment later and the room is empty of all enemies. You pull your robes open and look at your stomach. A pattern has been burnt onto your stomach, a pattern with 8 fold symmetry and eight closed eyes. Three of the eyes open as you watch.
"Hmmmm. This may still be salvageable..."
Place hand on steel. Attempt to levitate both some of the steel and some of the bone. Repeat with a hand on the bone.
Nothing happens. Dang it. Maybe you're missing something?
"~Hee-hee-ho-ho-hah-hah!~"
Chuckle and say more words.
[pot:6+1]
A giant sheet of arcane energy appears behind you and goes spinning off into the distance, right off the side of the mountain.
"Huh."
Silica follows Sanya. She also says words. She will take cover if there are enemies nearby.
You wander over to the edge of the temple grounds with Sanya and give a few words a try while you look down at the clouds.
[pot:5+2]
A long staff made of a strange, glowing dust. It drifts slowly to the ground, distorting the stone as it touches down, twisting it into sine wave spikes. It stands there, perfectly straight for a moment before vanishing.
"Hmm...maybe there's a word for "Solid" to keep it from breaking apart."
((Well that bellows thing sounds bad))
Walk into the room and point at which ever one I can get a good shot at with relative chance to hit then say new words
Huh....well something very unsettling just happened in there and now there's nothing left...Maybe best not to go in there...
"That didn't quite work as I wanted. Maybe I'll say it backwards?"
Reverse the word order. Bandage myself. Mentally command the blood to clot.
[Pot:3]
More bandages made out of blood that just disperse. Getting dizzy here.
"Can you tell me more about Flux and this Mark of Flux? What does it do? And why did you only say 7 names?"
Ask moar questions!
(The missing of the last name wasn't intentional. I apparently just can't count. Explains why I've been doing the rolling for this entire turn using a turnip)
The last name is Shub-shalsheil of the Inksea.
Flux is god of change, of movement, of quicksliver. To know her is impossible, for she is always different in form. She values evasiveness and a changing nature.
The mark you bear is simply the mark of your adherence to her as an acolyte. Your blood is now her quicksilver. As it is, that mark will make you difficult to hit, sometimes much more so. Please her, and greater powers shall follow.
Walk over to the room with the Monk, as him this:
"Hey, I'd like to ask you something. Can you tell me more about the gods these shrines are dedicated to? Gotta make sure to not cause accidental smiting of myself."
There are eight in total: Yo-drell of the Deep, Sha-calun the Everflame, Flux, Parathun the Fleshsmith, Scarlon the Mask, Blastel and Nul-sheal the Green. The Mark of Flux is upon you. What information do you seek?
"Now, I don't mean to interupt, but that's only seven names, no? Anchor of the eight, eight rooms below, eight gods... Who's the last bloke?" Glassco asked after a few moments to ponder on what he heard previous. He waited a moment to see what the response would be, but then he got an annoyed look on his face slightly later, just now realizing how long he's been talking, and sighe.. "Sorry chaps, 'fraid I better be heading off soon, gotta make sure my new found friend isn't getting himself in trouble and all that, you know." Glassco gave a crooked smile, giving a bow to the monk, "thank you for all ya words and help," and a nod to the newcomer, then heading downstairs to try and find his new ally.
If found:
"Holy shit, what happened to you?! Hold on, hold on, I think I got something that may help... Hopefully. Glassco says words while running his hand along the opening of the wound, or rather what was left of his arm.
If not found:
"Hm... Where did he get off to?"
Glassco makes a final comment to monk-lich, waits shortly to see if response, then tries to find friend. If found, words. [The words being contingent on if he doesn't get the bleeding stopped on his own, that is.]
You listen, hear the last name and then wander off to the temple grounds where you find Mr.whats his name with his arm freaking exploded. You run over and put your hand on it.
[pot:5]
A magical tattoo appears on whats left of His arm.
"Yikes!"
Kin follows Javier down the stairs the best he can. Hopefully he won't have much problem getting away from the storm crows. Also words.
[spd:4]
[sc spd:1]
You limp away, brunt and bleeding, down to the lower end of the switchback, overlooking the village built into the mountain.
Well, if that wind spell I tried had critically failed...
If it hadn't have failed you would have found yourself in a particular level of dante's inferno. The one for Lust, specifically.
Say Words.
[pot:3+1]
A strange sort of staff sprouts from the ground in front of you. It's like an mushroom with an enormously long stem and strangely elaborate cap. You pick it up; it's sort of squishy.
