Systar sneered at the newcomer.  "Oi, buddy!  You're next!"

Stab Mako in the chest.  Choke up if needed.  Finish him off already!

The metallic cyborg pulls an imaginary cigar out of his mouth as he says "Have at him, boys". The metallic and somewhat electronic tone of his voice doesn't go well with the idea, but he can't help it. He then begins to walk away as the fight continues, while his own morningstar is still dripping blood from who he believes is about to fall.

[Systar spd:6+1-1=6]
[Mako spd:3-1=2]

Systar, still on the floor, tries to make sure that he gets the kill. Not that he has to do so, it is just that he likes to be on the sure side of things.

[Systar dex:6+1-1-1=5]
[Mako dex:3+1-2=2]

[Systar str:3+1+1=5]

And as Systar reaches from the floor to gut Mako, Bigf01t continues his slow and detached walk. The tongue of his demonic weapon is leaving a little trail of blood drops, ants in comparison to the amount of blood coming out from the one who tried to harm him. A scream, followed soon after by a choked cry, and then by a wet thud against the rock floor indicate that the work has been done. Nobody messes with him. Nobody.

"Pfft, ignorant brats" He muttered with odd satisfaction after knowing that that asshole was dead.

He kept walking until he was at the NE hallway, to keep the badass image, then peeked to see what had happened.

Apparently, Systar had reached out from the floor and deepened the cut on Mako's chest, the amount of blood lying near the almost disembowelled dude being a pretty substantial proof of that. He also saw Systar absorbing Mako's soul, with an expression of glee, probably because of the power euphoria.

Mako is dead. Systar gains a stat point

The drake snaps out of its echoing roar, and then casts a spell:

[Pot:1+1+1=3]
You flash with light, and then you become a flesh human again. But, without asking, the magic then comes again to life to transform you back into a diamond dragon! Oddly enough, you seem to have diamond feathers in your wings, and some in the rest of your body. Not only that, but the edges of your body seem rougher than they should be, like if you had been sculpted out of stone. And finally, you seem more elongated overall, your body stretching farther away and thus your foremost legs being more distant to your other pair of legs.

Then you realize it: you are a winged serpent, but with legs. And your style remembers you of something. Overall, you look like a character you have seen somewhere. A God.

Robert has become Diamond Quetzalcoatl!
Same bonuses as before, but the magic seems that won't last long.

[Flimsy spd:5-1-2-1=1]

The Flimsy Wizard limps away from the Arcane Room. He crosses some guy heading there and then he arrives to the Grand Room. Probably some people wants him dead, but not now.

Slowly approach Arcane room while speaking Words.

You cross some kind of horrific black parody of a man while heading to the Arcane Room, but you nevertheless do some magic:

[Pot:5-1=4]
[End:3]

A black fog appears in front of you. Suddenly, it tries to reach for you, to envelop your head. Your consciousness fights it back, but in the end it has adhered, albeit weakly, to your head. You feel how your magic mojo has stopped to function momentarily.

[Enveloping Darkness:Blocked pool.1]

Unsure about what to do with the slight amount of magic you still have, you decide to keep it, just in case, as the fog doesn't seem to want to stay too long.

You eventually arrive to the Arcane Room, only to find some guy gutted lying on the bloodied floor, some guy with a naginata dripping blood, and a kind of cyborg hiding in the hallway, a trail of blood drops leading that way. Maaaaaybe this is not the best place to stay right now.

ignore the other guy and keep experimenting: G-541, then Y-269.

You ignore him and he leaves! Hahaha-What is that? Some kind of emaciated person made of an unidentified black material, with really sharp-looking claws, seems to come from the place where that guy just left. For some reason it seems worried about its own safety. Odd. You still do some magic, as that thing doesn't want to attack you right now, or so it seems.

[Pot:4+1=5]
A golden line appears and draws a hamster! It is boring, like hamsters.

[Pot:4+1=5]
Another golden line appears, this time drawing a hippopotamus.

Well, that was useful, right? RIGHT?

This won't do... anyone have the word for targeting one's hand(s)?
Regardless, continue sciencing!

Hmm, realizing that you need more knowledge, you try to acquire via the oldest way: trial and error.

[Pot:1]
Something happened, you are almost sure! And you are totally not paranoid, no!

[Pot:5]
Your left foot glows, but nothing happens.

[Pot:2]
You feel that the nothingness itself has moved. Somehow.

[Pot:4]
Now you feel that the nothingness is moving upwards!

[Pot:3]
Now the nothingness is disturbed, not moving to any place in particular, and it happens quite near you, for some reason. You can't tell exactly where, though.

[Pot:6]
Your right foot glows. And that is all that happens here.

[Pot:4]
Now the nothingness is shot downwards.

This is a weird section.

Grab the silver armguards from wherever they may be (magic "floor" inventory and all that :P) and throw them into the bottomless pit.

Might as well tidy up after myself!

Also science. Duh.

You are waitlisted again, but bear in mind that as the game progresses, physical characters working alone are bound to be less and less efective.

[Systar spd:4+1-2-1=2]
[Robert spd:6-1=5]
[EP spd:3-1+1=3]

Quetzalcoatl prepares his breath for any incoming threats, while The FLimsy Wizard tries to fix himself:

[Pot:2+1=3]
He flashes with light, and suddenly he has turned back to his fleshy form, but immediately after, his head begins to glow, and he finds that, with a flash of light, it has become solid diamond! And not only that, but it is fully repaired! Bu- wait, what? Why is it smaller than before?

The Flimsy Wizard has repaired his head! But it is now smaller, likely because of the lack of mass to repair it to its full size.

-Small diamond head:
[Small]
[Crystaline structure]

((The small tag usually comes with the light tag, but, being the head, there is no benefit in putting it here))

Also, his mauled status in his body has changed back to [Minor burns]

Well, but maybe he can finish fixing himself! He tries yet another spell, just as something seems to be coming from the Arcane Room:

[Pot:6+1=7]
The torso of the Flimsy Wizard flashes with light, and the magic, without asking, transforms it into solid diamond! His ugly burns are gone!

-Diamond torso:
[Crystaline structure]

And then what was coming through the Arcane Room arrives! It is Systar, looking really pissed! But the diamond god is faster than him, and before he can react, the diamond creature is already trying to unleash his terrible weapon:

[Robert pot:2] ((3/2=1.5, rounded up=2))
[Robert dex:5]
[Systar dex:6+1=7]

But Systar evades the small glob of magma that was hurled at him from the insides of the feathered serpent. The diamond god is angry, now he will try to strike again!

Spoiler: Rolls (click to show/hide)

[Robert dex:3]
[Systar dex:4+1-1-1=3]

((Distributing the 10 potency over you two, means that both of you get 5 exposure))

A humongous glob of magma appears in front of both the diamond creature and Systar. The magma splashes to every side, a great portion of it sticking to Systar's arm, burning it until it is no more than a black stump attached to his body. The diamond snake couldn't escape such amount of magma, but managed to turn around before it struck him. The magma simply scurried through the lower parts of his main body, catching both of his legs and part of his lower body.

Systar's right arm is:
[Charred]

Robert's torso and his equivalent to legs are heated! Melee damage against them is doubled for the next turn!

Now Systar is angry. Really angry. They will pay. He attempts to cast a spell a the Flimsy Wizard:

[Systar pot:2]
But he only get a glimpse of a line trying to form. Dammit. Plan B: naginata chop.

Unfortunately, only having one arm to use the naginata is something quite counter-productive, as he has to lift it all with half the limbs:

[Systar str:3+1-1-1=2]

And he finds himself unable to do so. He is pretty much screwed right now.

Grab the silver armguards from wherever they may be (magic "floor" inventory and all that :P) and throw them into the bottomless pit.

Might as well tidy up after myself!

Also science. Duh.

You hear a damned lot of noise in the Grand Room, so you grab what you wanted to grab and take the longer route through the Greenhouse Room and the southermost parts of the Grand Room. It looks like Systar is being beaten really hard. Hmm. anyway, you have science and waste disposal to do. You poke your head into the bridge room and throw the armguards. They just fall into the abyss. Now, you are free to do science:

[Pot:5+1=6]
You get a big biometal ouch of some kind. Upon grabbing it, you notice that it seems to be trying to suck you into the opening of the pouch, or rather, your insides. You throw it away, but not into the abyss.

[Pot:5+1=6]
You get six assorted biometal pieces, all of them rather small.

[Pot:5+1=6]
A thick golden line appears and draws a big, tower shield.

Hmm, this could be quite useful.

"WHAT?! PLEASE! Is there ANYTHING useful here?"

A-106, then A-895. Run away if the weird guy gets closer.

The guy that just came does some weird transformations upon himself, but is soon followed by a diamond feathered serpent and a bearded guy with a diamond naginata. And then a fight erupts between them. This is clearly a dangerous zone, so you go to the Magma Room. There, you find a kind of translucent guy. Translucent in the sense that it seems to be made of liquid, and you can faintly see the bones and some guts below his skin. Igh. Well, but you came here to do magic, and magic you will do!

[Pot:5+1=6]
You feel how the nothingness is disturbed in a wide angle in front of you.

[Pot:4]
Your body begins to emit a faint golden glow. But it fades as the magic doesn't find any order to perform.

Well, this could be useful knowledge. The liquid man seems to be trying to do something:

And now, back to our regularly-scheduled Science.

You continued to do science, paying no mind to the guy that just came, wchi seems to find you disgusting.

[Pot:2]
Your body faintly glows, but nothing happens.

[Pot:4]
Your whole body flashes with light, and you stop being liquid! And then, your right hand begins to glow. The magic seems to be awaiting for an order from your part, so you give said order and it flashes with light. Your hand is still flesh, hmmm. You touch it with your other hand and AAARRRRGH DAMMIT IT HURTS. You almost felt how the place where you touched it cracked slightly. This is not something good.

-Right hand is fragile

[Pot:2]
Your right hand glows again, but nothing happens.

[Pot:6]
A thick golden line appears and draws a big eagle.

Jack Vihmut in Arcane Room


"Oh, is it party or something? Anyone wanna team up?"

Peaceful words. Maybe.

Everybody leaves, and you are now alone with a gutted body in the room. How nice of them. Well, at least you can try some words:

[Pot:2-1=1]
Blurred images go through your head. They make you get slightly dizzy.

The dark fog that attacked you seems to have lost all of its strength, and so it fades away. You regenerate all your magic mojo.

Self-Improvement is the order of the day. My army will come later.

The Summoner now delves into transmutation! He tries a spell:

[Pot:6]
His body begins to glow strongly, and a flash of light ensues, the magic not caring about any kind of mental commands from the spellcaster. As it examines itself, the Summoner discovers that his black body has sharp claws on its now four legs. Not only that, but there are also two thin and elengated wings attached to his back. His body is emaciated to the point any onlooker would think that the dragon was starving, but no sustenance is actually needed by its body. Black orb wihout pupils are its eyes, placed over an elongated mouth sporting not one, but two rows of black sharp teeth.

The devilish drake moves around, noticing that it is unnaturally light and nimble. Not only that, but some kind of warmth emanates from all his body. And a stronger warmth comes from inside.

-Light hot biometal drake:
[Very light]
[Yields]
[Soft]
[Naturally sharp]
