"OH GOD DAMMIT!"
*sigh*
"That is... not a good start, is it strange man standing near to me?"

Spoiler: Big turn, tl;dr is making armor 'CAUSE I CAN'T DO MUCH ELSE! (click to show/hide)

Blagh. Tear the cloth into strips (or use any convenient strip-bits) and use it to strap some of the chitin to myself like armor. I'm thinking Morrowind here Like a pauldron/spaulder (shoulder armor, mounted on shoulder or upper arm respectivly) or something.

IN FACT make forearm armor up until (but including) shoulder armor on one of my arms. If there are any sharp bits like mandibles strap them on the gauntlet bug-dark-knight style, or if there is enough fashion a stabby thing from them. Do armor first. It was pot=5 so there should be a reasonable quantity. I hope. It'd be nice if you could make the shoulder guard kind of like a bandolier, so I can hang/attach stuff later.

If there is enough cloth/chitin left over at the end, fashion myself a little bag from them. Man-bag (possibly attached to said bandolier or belt-mounted side bag, maybe even make a nice little pouch for the book. Ive got time.

I could even make you a sketch if you'd like!

Anyway, just keep making armor until I run out of materials. Not like I can stuff up the fit, I'm actually making it, not leaving it up to the Random Number Gods to determine sizing! (Pot = 2, this would fit a mouse )

Imma go make that sketch. BRB

"Yo, Strangeman! This magic thing... awkward. Mind if I use any magic... leftovers, of yours to fashion some gear? I'm going to be a little... bored otherwise. I could make you a, thing, or something too if you'd like!

In exchange for not killing me I could suggest what word to avoid, not like I have the magic in me at the moment to suffer from saying it AGAIN!"

As there is no combat situation with you, I will let you use an entire turn to get rid of the status effect by rolling endurance. You can still spend several turns making armor, though.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Bigfoot is taking this well.

Word!
Also smack Flimsy in a waking-up kind of way.
Let it be noted that I am not the Gold Knight, so TCM's action is kinda meaningless.

[Bigf00t]

I might roll on a later turn, make armor at the moment. I'll see if I can sweat this out (without dying that is). If I miss a turn for some reason, just have me do the roll thing for endurance. I rolled a one, it can't get much worse... right?

[GreatWyrmGold]

You are an idiot.

[syvarris]

Zentol smiles childishly, then runs his index finger along the edge of the shield.  He ignores the blood.  He begins muttering as he watches the blood flow down the shield.

"Haaathiiic....  Ushaal Conshalo Gonteialel, Chall-thel Contallthelthel... Chall-thel Bethconthel Donth Concoteael Halthel, Ushaal Dorbaedal Concoteael Halthel!"

With that, Zentol resumes wearing his manic grin, and runs off to murder people!

"That is... not a good start, is it strange man standing near to me?"

Id say not.

ill take a neckguard or punchknife if you can fashion one, and id like knowing that word.

more words, preferably aimed at hostile trespassers.

GODDAMMIT GWG, YOU GOT ME TRAPPED IN TVTROPES. AGAIN!

Noteworthy is where I ended up:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DwarfFortress/Deathgate
Seems appropriate.

Editing in: One neckguard and/or small stabby thing. PMing "The Patently Bad Word".

[Tomcost]

Do not post TVtropes here, for I will be lost forever! Nah, just kidding, I'm already inmune. But I think that I will eventually ask for a troper to post the link for a specific trope here, but it will happen later in the game.

Which one first? The neckguard or the pseudo-knife?
EDIT: your other posts seem to be going with the stabby thing, so that's the first in the build order.

[Elephant Parade]

Well, it seems the Perplexicon dice curse from the tests is still with me.

Wake up.

[Tomcost]

I have to say that the RNG seems to hate magic so far.

Also, we are already 5/8 6/8 (Derm should post in the thread, or I will be likely skip him for not being able to quote him, I count players by their posts, not by their PMs), but I need TCM's action to make the turn, it may be important.

[Dermonster]

DO THINGS YEAH

[TCM]

Run after the Gold Knight. Tackle him and punch him in the kidneys and cerebellum.

[Tomcost]

Now I can start working on a turn.

[mastahcheese]

Point my finger at TCM, and say WORDS, then run into the portal room.

Turn 002

Zentol smiles childishly, then runs his index finger along the edge of the shield.  He ignores

the blood.  He begins muttering as he watches the blood flow down the shield.

"Haaathiiic....  Ushaal Conshalo Gonteialel, Chall-thel Contallthelthel... Chall-thel Bethconthel Donth Concoteael Halthel, Ushaal Dorbaedal Concoteael Halthel!"

With that, Zentol resumes wearing his manic grin, and runs off to murder people!

more words, preferably aimed at hostile trespassers.

-snip- Because this would likely be longer than the entire turn.

[Pariah spd:6]
[Zentol spd:4-1=3]
[Bigf01t spd:5-1=4]

Pariah immediately decides to begin doing some investigations on these magic words.

[Pot:5+1=6]

A golden line appears and begins making a drawing out of itself. You can see a big animal there. It looks like a big hamster, wait, aren't those things called capybaras? While he was thinking so, the line faded away.

Bigf01t, meanwhile, realizes that there are probably a bunch of psychopaths wanting to sever his head right now, and he has been deprived from his most precious resource: magic!

But luckily this fellow nearby is not one, maybe he could give him something as a peace gift, right?

[Dex:2]

He looks for something sharp between all the dull pieces of chitin, but all seem too big to be used as a knife and will probably need to be broken into smaller pieces.

Meanwhile, Zentol arrives, looks at Pariah, and tilts his head. Yep, Bigf01t's fears weren't wrong after all.

Pariah instantly reacts and begins to shout words at him, hoping for something to happen.

[Pariah pot:3+1=4]

Nothing happens, Zentol stays there looking at Pariah, then tilts his head to the other side.

[Pariah pot:1+1=2]

A drop of ink forms in front of Pariah's face, then falls to the ground. It evaporates, leaving a black mark there.

Zentol's grin widens. It's his time to act.

[Zentol Dex:3+2=5]
[Pariah Dex:1]

[Zentol str:6+1]

Pariah just didn't see it coming. It must have been like a nightmare. Zentol almost disappeared from sight and appeared behind Pariah. His victim felt the cold touch of Zentol's hand pulling his head backwards, only managing to twist his neck enough to see an evil grin before the crystal shield made a wide and jagged cut across his throat. Blood begun to pour through Pariah's internal conduits and he begun to suffocate, his lungs not being able to provide more oxygen to his body, as they were are getting progressively filled with blood.

[Choking on his own blood]

Word!
Also smack Flimsy in a waking-up kind of way.
Let it be noted that I am not the Gold Knight, so TCM's action is kinda meaningless. His

intention was clear, you are Greawyrm GOLD

Well, it seems the Perplexicon dice curse from the tests is still with me.

Wake up.

DO THINGS YEAH

Run after the Gold Knight. Tackle him and punch him in the kidneys and cerebellum.

Point my finger at TCM, and say WORDS, then run into the portal room.

[Mako spd:3]
[Derm spd:1]
[DK spd:4]
[Cromwell spd:4+1=5]

Cromwell, which had seen the wild beating that weakling had just suffered, decided that Mako deserved to be punished. Wow, thinking like that made him feel important. Anyway, let's do magic.

[Cromwell pot:3+1=4]

You point at Mako and then a head made of pure chitin appears in front of you and then flies to your right. That is the weirdest thing you have seen in all your life, but you have the feeling that it may get worse.

Mako doesn't even notice this and runs to the Portal room, ready to finish his job.

There, something interesting was happening:
While slapping the unconscious wizard to make him react, the Dragon Knight thought that it would be better to test some of this magic thing.

[DK pot:3-1=2]

A golden line appears and begins to twist, then fades away.

Well, not so interesting, actually.

Mako, who had arrived to this place by this time, decides to execute a poorly planned vengeance attempt for stealing his victim. He tries to tackle The Dragon Knight!

[Mako Dex:1+1=2]
[DK Dex:4]

This ended up in a somewhat embarrassing situation for Mako. He just jumped for The Dragon Knight's legs and only found the floor, The Dragon Knight easily stepping at a side of it.

[On ground]

Derm, meanwhile, who had been staring at the light of the portal for too long decided to actually do something. That Mako guy was here, he had to throw some random magic at him!

[Derm Pot:3]

A spark of light appears in front of you. More pretty lights!

[Derm Pot:4]

You feel a random set of thoughts go through your head.

[Derm Pot:4]

A golden line appears and rearranges itself to show a book, then fades away.

[Derm Pot:6]

Nothing happens.

[Derm Pot:4]

Nothing happens.

Well, that was a bunch of useless magic right there.

The Flimsy Wizard wakes up, his head covered in blood and with a terrible headache, that makes difficult for him to actually concentrate.

[Heavy pain]

GM comments
Well, this was another long turn. And also we will have our first death.

Also, Pariah only had 1 pool, and I just noticed that.
