Huh. Only an hour's work on an ipad. Still hate it!
The Hulk is somewhat depowered, Baldur is a bad sport and Ekoka learns a new skill. All in all, an amusing turn.
- Turn 3: The Incredible Hulk -
So Lao Thuun accidentally made one of the drunken fighters into the fantasy analogue of The Hulk. Way to go, Lao. Since there's currently a very angry, very large person smashing up bits of the bar, you decide it's high time he take a nap.Deftly dodge the ungrateful lout!
(3) you throw yourself to the side, but don't quite make it out of the giant green man's range. He swipes at you with his left hand! (1+1) He manages to hit you in the chest. It's only the tip of his fingers but you still feel like a hammer caught you!
(6) You spin and tumble in midair, but manage to recover your balance and land on your feet, on a table. Your head stops a mere inch from one of the rafters. You hook a foot around a candle and kick it at the Hulk! (2) But it misses. Thankfully it goes out midair.
"Well."
Run like hell! Try to trip the green man up!
"Well."
(2) You decide to mimic Ekoka from earlier. You hook one foot around his leg and heave! But... Nothing. Shit. Luckily he didn't even notice you. He just sorta absently pushes you aside when...
"Finally! I was starting to think that this was going to be a boring night!" Baldur tries to tackle the hulk to the ground.
(1) "Feh, this is a boring fight!" you say and sit down. On a chair right in front of the Hulk. He takes your attitude as a challenge and picks up a table, a
very heavy table! But before he can throw it...
"Ya big bastard, I've tackled fish bigger than you!"
Attempt to jump on the hulkified one's back and pummel his head witht the hilt of my dirk, trying to drag him to the floor
(4) You decide that Lyu has the right idea, if wrong method. "Ya big bastard, I've tackled fish bigger than you!" you yell at him as a challenge. Next thing he knows, you're on his back, clubbing away somewhat ineffectually at his skill with your dirk. Since there's only one of you and he's, like, three people rolled into one you're less than effective.
But hey, at least he's not trying to throw that table anymore! Now he's flailing around trying to grab you! But his muscles are so big that his arms can't quite bend enough to grab you. Which, from the way he picked up that table, is probably a good thing.
Attempt to counter the life magic with force magic, without hurting him. Or getting squashed.
(4) Deciding that now, with the monkey on his back, is as good a time as any, you move forwards to counteract the Life magic with Force magic. You decide to ignore that they're opposites in the same way that oil and water opposites and try it anyway.
He's flailing around trying to grab Felis, so he doesn't even notice you step up and lay both hands on his chest. It's fever-hot beneath your touch and you can feel the brimming Life magic still running through him. You're not even sure that he
could be hurt until the Life magic ran out!
You push the Force magic into him, definitely not thinking about imploding his stomach. You somehow target the magic itself. Angry scarlet light flares from your hands! The emerald green of his glowing skin disappears in a wave emanating from your hands, leaving behind his normal skin colour.
However, he's still... Well, he's still big. At least he probably won't immediately heal any wound!
(5) You brace for the magical cost. It's not too bad! Your chest clamps up a bit and you fight for breath for a moment, but you're otherwise unharmed. Lucky you!
(6) You've even come to better understand opposing forces! You can now dual-cast opposing magics with a -1 to roll instead of -2. Holy hell.
Hulk's Status: Perfectly fine. Probably can't rapidly heal anymore. He's also a bit calmer. He's still trying to get Felis off his back, though.
