@summon flame and make it spin:((Actually, no, it's not. It's all about how airflow around large fires works, and the fire is spinning vertically, not horizontally. it rises in the center and draws the surrounding air into it. the rotation is a slow process that is based on inconsistencies in the availability of the air to feed the flames. the fire itself doesn't actually spin horizontally at all at first.

what this means is that the summoned flame would actually arrive from all sides of the mage, sweeping low along the ground, and then rise up in a pillar centered on him.

also, since the way I incapacitated him was by pulling his inner fire up directly above him, the same direction and location I'm pulling all the other fire, I can keep it up throughout the attack.))
((HB, that WAS what was happening at the factory. it didn't get up to full power in there.
That attack has some rather... significant... friendly fire risks.))

Ah, OK. I think I get it now. Not that it would have made any difference, it'd still be the same rolls. You got a bonus to hitting him for the AoE-like style of the attack, he just rolled well at dodging it.

Ah, I assumed you would stop trying to incapacitate him. Because if you continued, then you'd also have to overcome his resistance on top of manipulating fire. You could had tried doing that, just didn't realise you wanted to.

Yep, Ike saw Irine's tornado and raised her a C4.

[Lenglon]

Upon seeing Ike defeat the mage, I stop my attack and pull 2/3 of my flames back to form a protective barrier around me, the remaining 1/3 I send tosurround Kassiver. Physically, I and turn my head to see who's running.
If I see Ike get attacked then I redirect the flames around Kassiver to attack his attacker, and if Ike needs to pass through my walls of flame I part them for him.
"Ike! He did something to me, I can't move my arms!"
found the old PM:

Extreme Measure is:

<Victor, tell your men to evacuate. And if there is a part of this facility that you need me to leave intact, tell me now.>

Form my flames into a narrow superheated column in the middle of the large room the fighting is happening in, rapidly heating the air and making it rise quickly, drawing more air in from the bottom to replace the rising air, and superheating that air as well, repeating and accelerating the process. Continue this, the flow of air growing faster and faster, as the imbalances in the shape of the room cause one side to get slightly more air flow than the other, causing a slight rotation to form as it naturally rebalances itself. Allow this rotation to continue and accelerate, the air still cycling, flowing faster and faster towards the tightly focused heat source before rising up and out of the building, and drawing the surrounding debris along with it. use any flammable debris drawn in to increase the flames, making the column hotter, the airflow faster, the destructive power greater, as the tornado of flame grows and grows, stronger and stronger, faster and faster, unnaturally hot, unnaturally fast, until it reaches the point that it is pulling anyone and anything not bolted down into it, incinerating it, and growing even stronger still, beyond that point, cleansing the facility completely.

Don't allow it to draw in Zoe, Amelia, or Awena. I don't care if it sucks in Boris or not, but I need to keep his machines working if possible. Rather than weaken the firespout if it gets excessive, simply move it farther away from us and keep on building it up anyway.

I expect it to take multiple turns for this particular attack to reach full power.

"Ike! He did something to me, I can't move my arms!"

"So stop having pesky arms, silly! Or try having different ones!"

[Lenglon]

"I don't have different ones!"

((Irine's shapeshifting does not heal injuries, damaged human arms equals damaged hybrid arms equals damaged fox forepaws))

[Harry Baldman]

"I don't have different ones!"

((Irine's shapeshifting does not heal injuries, damaged human arms equals damaged hybrid arms equals damaged fox forepaws))

"Well, good thing you can kill people with your mind, isn't it? We should all be so lucky."

[Lenglon]

"I don't want to kill people!"

[Harry Baldman]

"I don't want to kill people!"

"Okay, then don't. Third-degree burns aren't always fatal, are they? Speaking of, mind toning down the fire a bit? This place is a horrible fire hazard, don't you know."

[Wolfkit]

"I don't want to kill people!"

((Tbh, I never saw you entering the survivor camp as ending workout someone dying))

[Lenglon]

"I... I could. Are more people going to attack me?"

"I don't want to kill people!"

((Tbh, I never saw you entering the survivor camp as ending workout someone dying))

((Yep. Doesn't mean she likes it.))

[Harry Baldman]

"I... I could. Are more people going to attack me?"

"Probably! But just fill their lungs or eyes with fire or something, don't throw sparks around, you know?"

[Lenglon]

"It's not that simple! No! I'm keeping my fire until I'm safe again. If things start burning I'll just take their fire away."

[Xantalos]

"I don't want to kill people!"

((Of course you don't ))

[Lenglon]

"I don't want to kill people!"

((Of course you don't ))

((Killcount means nothing! NOTHING!))

[Parisbre56]

((Killcount means nothing! NOTHING!))

((Indeed. A few deaths mean nothing when you start counting the number of people killed in cities.
Play your cards right and you can get it up to continents. .))
