Turn 054Oh, and, uh, Action, I guess.
Hopefully it works, and hopefully I can find a way to make a new leg.
You are going first, because you are the most interesting character at the moment! (Read: in a lot of trouble)
[Thing spd:1
+1=2]
[Testurr spd:5
-1=4]
The thing appears to be pretty much lost, even more as you. Maybe because it has just started to exist and whatever influence is controlling it has to process the situation too. Anyway, the following represent how your character lived through the event:
OH MY GOD, TAKE IT OFF MY LEG! DIE TO MAGIC, YOU BASTARD!
[Pot:5]
Nothing happens. Guess why?
AAAAAAA, DON'T KILL ME YOU WEIRD STEAMPUNK RENDITION OF A DIVINE OGRE!
[Pot:4]
A golden line appears and draws a warhammer. With a flash of light, it becomes solid, made from a silvery material. You catch it in mid-air as it was falling to the ground. Your logical desperation at the moment didn't let you know many things from it, but you felt it cold to the touch, and that it is pretty light.
HAHA, FACE MY WRATH!
[Testurr Dex:2
+1=3]
[Ogre dex:2
+1-2=1]
[Testurr str:2
-1-1=0]
DIE TO MY GIRLY STRIKES!
The ogre was definitely unimpressed. Well, if it noticed the strike to begin with. Speaking about that, back to your desperate moment:
[Ogre dex:6
+1=7]
[Testurr dex:4]
[Ogre str:2
+1-1=2]
[Testurr str:3
-1=2]
LEAVE MY LEG YOU ASSHOLE!
The thing tried unsuccessfully to make you fall, being unable to do pretty much anything when you are using it as an impromptu crutch and putting all your weight over it. Well, that's somewhat reassuring, don't you think so? At least now you have more time to think. Speaking aobut that, you realize that both the thing and your hammer are made from the same material: aluminium.
-Cold aluminium warhammer
[Blunt weapon][Light]It also makes you think that, without a crutch, you won't be able to stand, and that even with one, you are going to be slower indeed. But at least you are not being killed, yet.
((Updated character sheet))
Can you smelllllllllll what the Ork is cooking?
WARTIME.
[Mako str:1
+1-1=1]
[Robert str:4
-1=3]
The weak ork, due to a miracle, or maybe thanks to Mako getting overconfident, busted out from Mako's hug. Now, time to fight properly:
[Mako spd:5
-1=4]
[Robert spd:1]
Which means, standing there while Mako tries to hit you again:
[Mako dex:5
+1-1=5]
[Robert dex:3]
[Mako str:3
+1=4]
[Robert dex:3]
And a swift sweep at the legs did the trick, now the ork is on the ground, and unfortunately for him, out of range for spells, as long as he doesn't stand up or Mako decides to get closer.
[On ground]Oops, my bad Mr. Ork! I should paint my bow red for MORE DAKKA.
Never eat an energy field bigger than your head.
[Systar spd:6
-1=5]
[Derm spd:2]
Systar quickly fetches his arrow and goes away. Why? Because he hears some screams coming from the Greenhouse Room. Somebody is... giving birth? No, how that could be happening here? He must be focusing on channelling the metaphysical forces that secretly rule the physical universe. Yeah, that's more plausible. Oh, hey, there you are!
[Systar str:6
+1=7]
[Systar dex:1
+1-1=1]
[Derm dex:3
-2=1]
The arrow barely scratched Derm, his metallic skin deflecting the arrow.
NOW, YOU WILL BEHOLD THE POWER OF MAGIC!
[Derm pot:4
+1-1+1+1=6]
All your body (barring the axe, but it is not part of your body) suddenly flash as golden particles are being absorbed by it, and now you are back at your fleshy form. Golden particles start to be emitted by your head, the glow is intense, but it doesn't seem to be under your control. Your chest aches because of the past acid burns caused by that shadow, but who cares? Your jaw is no longer bended, but instead hurts for a little bit, before the magic reacts. With a flash of light, the bruises in your jaw disappear. Hurray!
Gained:
-Chest:
[Burned][Bleeding I]Your head also transitioned through:
[Pain II]You are not sure if this was something good or bad overall.
Try something new.
Maybe electrocuting myself isn't the best strategy?
MORE NECROSIS MIST! MORE GENTLE PATTING WITH SPIKY THING!
[Bigf01t spd:5
+1-1=5]
[Miol spd:3
-1=2]
[Igor spd:5
-1=4]
The alien guy does what he knows he can do better: spreading the purple thing! Yay!
[Bigf01t pot:6
+1=7]
[Miol dex:3
-2=1]
Miol doesn't even bother to not breathe into the mist this time. His fate is sealed. The mist enters through his mouth and goe thorugh all his body, the numbness increasing to alarming levels!
Gained
[Numbness:III]((Note: you can't get even worse that the current level of the illness, so more exposure is simply translated to numbness in a 3 to 1 ratio))
And now comes the spiky thing!
[Bigf01t dex:3
+1+1=5]
[Miol dex:5
-1-2-1=1]
[Bigf01t str:2
-1=1]
And it does no meaningful damage, hooray!
Now it is Igor's turn to get a shot at the soul piñata that Miol currently is:
[Igor dex:6
-1-1=4]
[Miol dex:2
-1-1=0]
[Igor str:2
-1+1=2]
[Miol str:1
-1-1=-1]
[Igor str:3
-1+1=3]
Igor caught Miol's head and introduced it to his prototype to one. It wasn't as violent as one could imagine, just making the poor piñata-man feel dizzy.
Gained:
[Dizziness]But it is his time to act now! He shouts his words to the beast currently grabbing him:
[Pot:2
+1=3]
[Igor dex:4
-1-2=1]
[Miol dex:6
-1-2-1=2]
A golden line appears and draws something humanoid, and with a flash of light, it becomes something... octariney?
BOOM!
The explosion caught part of Igor's arm, which was instantly disintegrated. He can still use it, but it lacks a little bit of it. And it bleeds.
[Bleeding I]The explosion also caught part of Miol's chest, but he didn't really felt much, with all the numbness and such.
Chest bleeding upgraded to:
[Bleeding II]The only good thing for Miol was that the illness now feels slightly better. Instead of getting each time number now he wants to vomit:
Numbness upgraded to:
[Numbness:IV]Necrosis now went back to:
[Nausea]
