[HFS]

Aurora moves further away, positioning herself next to the southern exit. She then waits, to see if the strange liquid covering here will finish the healing process.

You try a couple spells on for size:
[Will: 6]
[Pot: 5 +1] A dagger shoots out of your hand and bounces off the floor. It seems to be made out of some white stone and silver. Hmm.

[Will: 2] Magic does what magic wants!
[Pot: 2 +1] for just a moment, you get a feeling of the stones in the room. Not all of them, but just a certain kind.

[Chan: 4 +1] Contam: 3

Spoiler: Tomcost (click to show/hide)

You point and try out SCIENCE:
[Pot: 3 +1] Several bars of iron appear inside the machine you were thinking about. Interesting...

More SCIENCE!
[Pot: 4 +1] An iron cannonball appears in front of your face and goes flying forward. It hits the wall and bounces to the ground. Hmm...

[Chan: 6 +1] Contam: 3

You examine the crystals:
[Aware: 4 -2] You find five crystals. There are two small ones and three medium sized ones. One of the small ones glows with a bright white light, the other with a cold, bluish light. One of the medium ones also glows with the cold blue light, while another doesn't glow at all, but seems to vibrate slightly. The last one makes all the hair on your skin stand straight up.

[Chan: 3 -1 +2] Contam: 4

 You hoof it away from... whatever that stuff it. While you're at it, you notice that you feel a lot better. Not up to a marathon quite yet, but you feel like your breaks are mostly gone - just don't get blasted again.

 You take a look around the room. Looks like somebody did some !!SCIENCE!! here a while ago - especially with the dead body. Poor fool doesn't seem to have a mark on him, but his face is wracked with terror.

[Toaster]

That was... odd.  Hm.

Pick up the dagger and try a spell.

[Tomcost]

Moar Science!

[RathofSTS]

Science!

[mastahcheese]

Pretty sure I sent my PM of SCIENCE!

 You say your words:
[Will: 1] The magic ignores you.
[Pot: 3 +1] The dagger in your hand turns entirely to silver. Hmm.

[Chan: 5 +1] Contam: 0

Spoiler: Tomcost (click to show/hide)

You try a sentence on for size:
[Pot: 2 +1] A small set of Iron Chainmail appears at the other side of the room.

[Chan: 4 +1] Contam: 3

Spoiler: RathofSTS (click to show/hide)

You draw a breath for a whole lot of SCIENCE!
First sentence:
[Pot: 6 +1] A large bronze axe flies out of empty space in front of your face and bounces off a statue. It falls to the ground and disappears into a strange white smoke. Huh?

Second sentence:
[Pot: 5 +1]Behind you, a thin bronze cylinder appears, reaching from the ground to the roof. Hmm.

Third sentence:
[Pot: 4 +1] The stone block expands slightly, dislodging a few crystals.

[Chan: 4 -1] Contam: 10

Spoiler: mastahcheese (click to show/hide)

You say your words:
[Pot: 2 +2] A spear made of grass appears to your right. Hmm.

[Chan: 6 +2] Contam: 0

Spoiler: HFS (click to show/hide)

You stare in worry at the encroaching liquid. Hmmm...

[Tomcost]

Check the chainmail's characteristics (like, if it is weaker, sturdier or anything)

[Toaster]

Poke a tentacle with the flat of the dagger.  Hold it and say Words.

[HFS]

((Can you PM me the words I used to do the fire-eyelasers? I don't have a copy of it))

[RathofSTS]

Leave though the door I did not come from.
Focus on contamination removal.
And grab a slice of cake.

[HFS]

Aurora looks at the strange liquid, and says words.

[mastahcheese]

Leave the grass spear, try some new words.

I think I'm a spear master now, that's all I can do properly.

[Angle]

Aurora looks at the liquid and say her words!
[Pot: 3 +3]
[Aware: 5] She fires a pair of heatbeams straight at the liquid. Unfortunately for you all, that's several gallons of liquid high explosive. It explodes with enough force to destroy the room Aurora's in, all adjacent rooms, and to bring down the ceiling, collapsing Tomcosts room and much of the rest of the arena. You are all very dead.

At this point, I would like to take some time to review and get your opinions before I reboot. I'm going to add that leveling system I talked about, and probably change some other stuff. What do you all think I should add/take away? I'm thinking I'll randomize the words again, but this time give you more starting clues for the magic; probably giving you like four words for free or something like that. I'm also considering the pro's and con's for starting you all out in one room versus separate ones. If I start you in one room, there'll probably be an immediate bloodbath, bot on the other hand, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Also, is there anything you think I should do with the arena? more death traps, less rooms, etc? Should I add in some NPC's for you to fight? etc.

[mastahcheese]

So... did that word I was about to try mean wood or breastplate?

Also, what was the trap in my book?

But I really liked this game, I like the way that not having a complete spell would add random words, rather than resulting in an incomplete spell.
But I think there should be less rooms.
