"Evil Heel Incarnate" Mako Man Andy Savage shows off his strength by throwing the man next to him into the nearest wall.

That should be "do", in the title, not "does".

Waitlisted! And I think that you will have enough time, just look for the turns, I don't really know if there was anything relevant on things other than turns, other than some mechanics discussions and balancing issues.

Turn 076

Well fuck, I don't have that word. Goddammit I need to get back in the action! MOAR TESTS!

Ahh, back to the old science:

[Pot:1+1=2]
The nothingness is moved, you don't know to where.

[Pot:3+1=4]
The nothingness at your feet is disturbed.

[Pot:3+1=4]
Now, your new right foot glows.

[Pot:5+1=6]
The nothingness is shot towards the floor, exactly below you.

[Pot:3+1=4]
The nothingness is shot again, towards the Great Room. You don't really know why this time, sadly.

Well, nothing really useful came out of this.

You notice that the piece of ink that formerly was the magnet had transformed back into magnet. Better not to get your spear near it.

+1 Endurance.  Gotta manage those injuries.

Go collect arrows.  Arrow anyone who attacks me.


"I need a better weapon."


You collect the two arrows. And, that is your turn.

Everybody back up. I'm gonna do a thing.

More crazy science:

[Pot:5+1+1=7]
You flash with light, and you are back at your human form. But, then you glow again, and with yet another flash of light, you become... a big insect? Yeah, you look like a dragon...fly? Dammit. Even the two pair of wings you have now are equally useless because they are made of diamond. Although, you have to admit it, if seeing through diamond eyes was weird, it was because you didn't know about diamond composite eyes. You miss blinking, though.

Form changed to giant dragonfly. No noticeable changes, excluding the fact that you don't seem to be able to spew arcane energy any more, but something else.

((You should pay more attention to what I say regarding these words. Because I think I already said what some these meant))

The silver !!sheep!! comes running from the bottomless pit hallway. It is set aflame, and seems to be running towards the Greenhouse Room. It is more slowly followed by the other sheep, the purple one with the metallic dragon head.

Quote from: EP
PM

More weird science incoming:

[Pot:2+1=3]
[Dex:2]
[Beat your pot dex:3]

You feel that the magic is trying to make you spit something, and you do, so that you don't end up with even less of a head than now. You cough three little fire lions, who stand around, watch each other and then watch you. They are almost cute, a pity that they have a murderous intent. They slowly approach you, but then you are interrupted by something totally unexpected.

A flaming silver !!Sheep!! made of cloth or something is running towards you, but not actually looking at you, but past you. And another one, with a dragon head as a leg, is coming, albeit more slowly, from the other side of the diamond wall.

You should probably move away from its path. And evade the little lions, too.

Pick up the knife, rest a little bit, head over towards the hallway to my east

Accept beneficial nice helper magic that makes me beastly awesome

Oh yea DO THE TURN THING:

Bigf01t looks at Trevor, and casts a spell:

[Bigf01t pot:6+1=7]
[Trevor will: 0] ((Not resisting))

Trevor begins to glow, and, then, with a flash of light, he becomes that biometal scary thingy.

Bleed in the head changed for [Slightly mauled]

Biometal form:
[Light]
[Yields]
[Soft]
[Naturally sharp]

Trevor also grabs the knife, and heard the little piece of wood talking to him:

"Hey, that's mine! Or was, at least! Please, don't leave me alone, I don't want to be terminated, pleeeeaaaaaaaaseeeeeeee!"

Damn, he is annoying.

Heavy steel knife:
[Heavy]
[Piercing weapon]

While you were doing these things, something happened:

The blood falling from the deceased Li's corpse was scurrying towards the magma moat, some of it managing to fall instead of just drying from the sheer heat. But, for some reason, the magma sort of pushed back from the moat, falling over the body and burning it. The smell to burned flesh became even worse than before, as the magma flowed back to the moat. It almost seemed as if something there doesn't want things from the outside.

Well, better leave the place. Both Bigf01t and Trevor go to the SE hallway. Bigf01t does some science:

[Pot:5+1=6]
A golden line appears and draws a big helmet.

[Pot:4+1=5]
Now a piece of chest armor is drawn.

[Pot:4+1=5]
Now a pair of leg-guards is drawn.

Well, you could equip yourself with this.

"Evil Heel Incarnate" Mako Man Andy Savage shows off his strength by throwing the man next to him into the nearest wall.

Igor jr shouts "Tersse" then bites Mako.

[Mako spd:5]
[Igor Jr. spd:4-1=3]

Mako immediately tries to lift and throw the other guy! But to do that, he would have to catch him first:

[Mako dex:4+1=5]
[Igor Jr. dex:4]

[Mako str:3+1=4]
[Igor Jr. str:5]

But the guy wrapped in pillows breaks the grapple as Mako is trying to lift him, and strikes back with a word:

[Igor Jr. Pot:1]
[Igor Jr end:4+2=6]

But he just get zapped in the spine for being totally useless with magic. He doesn't care, and thus goes for a more unorthodox method of fighting: biting.

[Igor Jr. dex:3]
[Mako dex:5+1=6]

But Mako is too fast to bite, and grabs the guy's head and tries again to hurl him against something:

[Mako str:5+1=6]
[Igor Jr. str:2]

[Mako str:4+1=5]

Mako adjusts his grip to hold the guy's whole body, and manages to lift him as the other is unable to to do anything to stop it. Then, he begins to run towards a wall and throws him towards it! The pillows in the belly of the guy don't manage to do anything as one of his arms collides against the rocky and boring wall.

Igor Jr. has now [Pain II] in his right arm!

I note lots of you are made out of biometal and thus hard to damage with my melee weapon.
