Final Round
((Let's see what we can do here...))
If possible, become an amorphous gelid being, like a slime. Ooze my way out of the debris. Maintain a high acidity level inside my body, and distribute my brain all around so that destroying it would require completely destroying me.
Remember that you are still limited by minimum size, meaning that if you are reduced beyond a certain size you will die.
You manage to become THE BLOOOOB! A small mini blob. A cute little mini-blob. That does a strange gurgling noise. Who's a cute blob? Who's a cute amorphous bouncy blob? Who's a little flubbly wubbly? Yes you are. Yes you-...
...
Ahem...
Aanyway, you also manage to spread out your brain-anchor all-over your body.
You pseudopod your way through the rubble. You also develop small sacks in your body that are about acidic as a lemon.
Unfortunately, as you are moving through the building, more kinetic blasts hit it, but you manage to move and let yourself "flow" away from resettling debris in such a way that you receive no damage.
Try to get myself out of this debris while being VERY careful with my legs. Don't want to terminator drag all over the place again. Blast the debris (the debris near my legs takes priority) away if I can do it without hurting myself. If I manage to get myself out - take a look around for Rune in case that I toppled the right building.
Despite the general difficulty of being accurate with such sensitive tasks while using a giant metal arm, you manage to get your legs free. You also blast the rubble a couple of times for good measure. Unfortunately, your opponent is nowhere to be seen. He could be in there, skittering away from his inevitable doom like a bug. Or he could be in the other side of town, laughing as he watches your futile efforts to find him.
Good thing I can fly. Buzz back in and copy that drone a lot.
You activate your engine, do a little loop and make a perfect landing back into the floor you were on. Hm. You feel like you're getting the hang of this flying business. Could get used to it. Wonder if you could get Zero to give you some sort of flight ability...
You make two more perfect copies of the drone and let them fly away, letting them do whatever it is they're doing. The work is fairly quick, since you don't need to concentrate as much on the form and the construction process, you only need to give your ability enough time to summon the necessary parts.
You're working on the third one when you see a red blip on your visor, next to one of the white points that represent your drone network. You're not sure which drone it was, you weren't paying much attention. A few moments later, the white dot disappears, while the red one becomes a slowly expanding disk on where you assume the ground is.
Alright, after getting myself a nice suit, find that guy who burned me, and burn him.
You suit up and go looking for someone to kill. In the time it took you to dress, the smoke and dust outside has started dispersing somewhat, aided by the sea breeze common during these hours, the time of day the sun descends below the horizon.
As you walk back towards the spot you fell from the ground, you spot a point of light descending from a window high up on a very tall building. As it gets closer to you, you realise that it's some sort of machine, a ball made out of cameras, gliding forward on small rockets. It seems like it's going to pass right above you, but it changes course part-way through, heading straight towards you.
You fire a firebolt at it. That's when you notice something you hadn't noticed before, because the firebolt was moving too quickly. It's actually a solid thing (or at least partially solid) for you can see something moving in there, something like wings. And the thing seems to be turning, following the machine as it tries to evade. It hits the machine, causing its fuel tanks to explode in a marvellous fireball.
You look up at the window. A few seconds later, an identical point of light flies away from the same window, heading somewhere towards your left.
Campaign
Get to a better position to attack and flee from, ideally in cover. Size up the army, roughly how many knights is a lot?
Watch Alan's attempt at diplomancy with imaginary popcorn. If the violence inevitably happens then sling a tsar boulder aiming to crush dual shield guy and everyone near him.
Oh and just in case if one of my boulders is ever going to hit a teammate untsar it before it hits them.
You approach Alan and take cover close to him, close enough to see what's going on.
You'd say there's about 20 of them here. If you bowl your boulder right, it's just two strikes, or maybe a strike and a spare.
Campaign, Ike!
<Hoo boy, this is going to get ugly, isn't it?>
Be prepared to rush to Alan's aid, what with him being the MVP and all. Don't do so if conflict is not clearly imminent, however.
You watch Nikolai get closer to Alan and Alan begin his attempt at diplomancy. They're still not killing each other. And they're still not close enough to see you due to your negative relative elevation.
Smile and generally act in a friendly manner towards the approaching people, unless they seem to want to murder me in which case skedaddle.
"Hello, fellow human people! I am Alan, and I have just saved you from the evils of disco! What are your names?"
You smile and wave at the men as their run slows to a walk, before stopping some distance away from you, close enough that you can talk without yelling but not close enough to talk without raising your voice. Not that that is a problem for you.
"Hello, fellow human people! I am Alan, and I have just saved you from the evils of disco! What are your names?"The armoured man with the two shields looks at the less-armoured one for a few seconds and whispers something. The other man shakes his head slightly in response. The armoured man turns to face you again and takes a step forward.
"I am Pragmatus Ignales, commander of the the Torch of Omens." he responds to your question. His voice sounds loud but slightly distorted due to the metal helmet obscuring most of his face.
"And this is Rovan Istam of the Fire Tower." he continues, using a gesture with one of his shields to indicate the less armoured young man next to him.
Said man is alternating between looking at you and looking at the two men you tried to murder but instead saved and may have accidentally murdered. The attention of the rest of the men is spread between looking at you, looking at the two fallen men and keeping an eye on their environment.
"Who is that man? Why are you here?" he asks, momentarily turning his helmet towards Nikolai, who has apparently joined you in a more cowardly fashion, before looking back at you.
