PMed my spell. (write that in my journal if useful) Centipedes are attracted to my coolness obviously.
You shout the spell. [20!+2,12+1] You summon a weird magnifying glass, with a mark on each of three sides. One side has a strange symbol on it, one has a branching symbol on it, and one has a cloaky symbol on it. [12+2,4+1] You then create what seems to be some sort of fishtank. You feel an odd sensation in your mind, like you can do something new.
You decide that, whatever this is, you'll pass on the opportunity to scribe this into your journal...
Check Umbrella and wand. Regain mana by mediation maybe.
(You regain 1 mana per turn. Guess I didn't make that clear.)
You fiddle with your wand, noting again its unusual length and how nicely polished it is. Around the middle are six runes: φ Θ ⌂ α ╒ ô The band, a nice rose gold one for your rosewood wand, has a single flowery shape on it, with a single petal jutting off, pointing at the ⌂. As you fiddle with it, you notice something you've never noticed before: The band can rotate! You click it over to the φ rune before deciding that it has some kind of purpose, although what it is you can't imagine...
Level Up! New Ability: Aura. A slight aura of shimmering energy surrounds you. All attacks take a -1 penalty to hit.Examine my wand/other gear

command avian to cease it's attack while pointing my wand at. It
You, too, note similar things--the wand's strength, rusted iron band, six runes, sideways spike (pointing at the ╒), discovery that the band rotates, soon ending on the ô rune.
The creature, which needs a name, refuses to respond.
(I'm guessing my wand has a preference for creating beasts?)
Not originally...and not the reason.
"Yeah, I could do the whole alliance thing. Especially seeing as I seem to have little offensive power."
Put on fleshy breastplate, then if possible put on silvery breastplate on top. Inspect starting gear. Ask breastplates what they can tell me.
You slide the fleshy breastplate over yourself, feeling a wave of gratitude and joy wash over to you from it and a little bit of disgust well up from inside of you once you feel its flesh against yours. [Tails] As it is a breastplate, you can't really fit it over yourself--the other breastplate, you mean. You glance over your wand, same runes, on the Θ, move it to the ╒, yadda yadda.
Sadly, with a crowbar in one hand and a wand in the other, there's really no way to carry the floating breastplate. However, you suspect that you could sort of nudge it with your head...or something...
This man is unfit to be the master of a noble creature such as myself...
"Scraaaaaaw!"
Fly at Javier C's wand and swallow it. Tear off and swallow the hand too if that's what it takes.
The strange beast leaps and soars towards Javier's wand arm. [6v2] It rips at the mage's wand hand, [1d8=6] causing a lot of blood drain. [Tails] While the wand is too long to fit in the creature's gullet, it
can (and [19v6] does) grab it with its weird spiderleg things and yank the wand out of the wizard-to-be's grasp. It, that is to say
you, feel an odd surge of energy...

Discovery! The wands seem to have six runes which probably change something! Whether this will help those locked in mortal combat with deadly beasts will be seen.
The giant centipede attacking the Archmage leaps forth and [9+1v11-1]
just scrapes its mandibles across the Archmage's form, [1d10+1:3]
causing a deep gouge and a burning sensation. [11-2-1,1d4:2]
The Archmage feels himself stiffen...
Meanwhile, the monstrous spider fighting the young girl creeps forward, not certain if it was noticed yet. Clair can just see the outline of a magical circle...
The Ursa
squeezes through the arch of choice.-----
Good job, y'all! Javier C and Clair get bonuses to Experience! Because Clair noted her wand specifically, as opposed to including it as part of an "Anything I have" statement, she shoots up to 2nd level! Pick a stat to increase by 1.
Meh, I'm feeling generous. Jane gets a little EP, too.
Oh, and just a note: Opposed Quickness rolls will be used to determine the order of actions if it ever really matters.
javierpwn or Wwolin, could you name the unnamed critter?
...I think that's all of note. Let me know if you spot any errors.
