Get Up and Kill Everyone.
shout Echapl at tentacle dude.
A horrible chorus echoes in Joseph's head. There are no voices or words, just moans, squeals, and utterances. All that can be perceived is an urge to kill. Looking around, there's a man on the north side of the ledge that looks... tasty.
[Joseph Spd:1]
[Merkan Spd:5-1]
[Merkan Pot:3]
Merkan shouts his word at the charging... thing. About a gallon of water forms and splashes onto the floor. It fails to stop the charge.
[Joseph Dex:6-1]
[Merkan Dex:5]
[Joseph Str:4-1]
[Merkan End:4]
Joseph lashes out with his arms, aiming to entrap and maim Merkan. He is unable to dodge, but the blows do not inflict serious harm, and he's not entangled.
Demand the little creature is to fight with me, or die. If it tries ANYTHING but agreeing...
SEND IT INTO THE PIT
((Woo! First magical minion summon! All I need is the word for control and... well
BTW Toaster, did it speak words? I should have heard them if it did. I hope it didn't..! ))
You didn't hear it say anything, but your gut tells you it's following at least similar rules to you. And it's clearly not your friend.
Sigh. Wait to see if someone goes out of the room, if someone stays, do Actions.
The expected!
[Bigf01t Spd:2-1]
[Alish Spd:2-1]
[Xan Spd:2-1]
[Alien Spd:1]
You all stand around with dumb looks on your faces. Everyone- eventually- all moves at once. Bigf01t runs east out the door, Alish runs west toward Xantalos, Xantalos and the alien each cast a spell to the combatant east of them.
[Xan Pot:1+1]
Xan manifests a candle flame. It doesn't stop Alish, surprisingly.
[Alien Pot:4+2]
The alien summons another plastic alien. The first one gestures at Bigf01t- they appear to be communicating, somehow.
Alish, meanwhile, makes it to Xan and unloads her spell.
[Pot:2+1] A few small black holes open up. They suck in quite a bit of dust and grit, but they're not strong enough to pull in an entire person.
The aliens turn and look at the two of you.
Bigf01t, unsure quite what is going on, sticks to his original science-based idea.
[Bigf01t Pot:6+1] Well, you think it's supposed to be an obsidian rapier, but looking at how big and especially long the damn thing is, it's more like an obsidian lance. Seriously, this thing is at least twelve feet long.
"~No-trouble-please-crazy-guy-maybe?~"
Do things!
You run into the cavern, where Ocil is either trying to go Super Saiyan or relieve his constipation.
Josionp Hisha again!
Let's try this again.
[Pot:3+2] This is a masterwork steel dagger. On its handle is an image of a masterwork steel dagger. It is encircled with bands of steel.
Shout into the empty cavern Toussmism Josionp Pioncale!
You release your pent up energy into the no longer empty cavern.
[Pot:3+1+1] Magical ley lines encircle your body, crawling across your skin. They link up into a strong bond, brimming with control.

((If your corruption's desires are perfectly in line with yours, are you still getting corrupted?))
That's an interesting question.
