"The fuck is this?"

Eh, might as well go wild!

((Can I at least use my arms as a mace, for example if I spin around wildly? Or are they locked in place?))
You can't move them as you cold with normal arms, but you can flail around with them. With them being made of obsidian, they act as a blunt weapon, and as they are heavy ('cause obsidian is heavy), attacks with them have a +1 to str and -1 to dex.

Also, not having two arms gives you a -2 to wrestling attmpts (or resisting them).

Systar looks at his two former attackers struggling against the wall.  "Well then!"


People who were attacking me are stuck; what should I do about that?

Systar twitches against the wall.  "I say!  This is damnably inconvenient!"

Get the heck away!  Overdrive 3 points of STR! If I somehow get away (which requires several rolls to go my way, including a six on the STR roll) then head into the Portal Room.
You are not stuck into the wall, your naginata already got destroyed. You are free to go away.

((Oooh, I thought it bit into all three of us.  I didn't realize I was excluded from the effect.  Allow me to modify my turn, then!))

Forgot to mention this: the diamond wall is blocking the entrance to the bridge.

It should be something like this:

Code: [Select]
           |__|
   Bridge  |  Grand Room
-----------|   

With the first column being the size of the wall, and the "_" indicating the ceiling of the passage to the Grand Room.

Toaster, can we call a truce until we smash this stupid wall?

Well at least I can still breathe fire. That's certainly nice.

Let's see if this works.

Let me get this straight; you attack me two on one (and three on one at one point), but when suddenly you're inconvenienced, you want me to back off?

To make it clear, I do not support the truce. It makes no sense whatsoever. Besides, Toaster will probably run off to recover his arm and get a new weapon, since the wall effectively separates him from Bigf00t.

He, hehe, hehehe :P
((I also may just sig that later, if that's ok.))

Truth be told I was kinda hoping Toaster would make it to the bridge by then, but oh well.

Run and jump into the portal! Run, jog or stroll to the Grand Room from wherever it dumps me.
Hopefully.

You burned 5 pool intelligently, so yeah, it should work well.

Note: when you get into complex interactions, thinking and knowledge will get you better results than good rolls.

"GOOOLD! I paralyzed myself and I can't reach it, and I can't do anything with it anyway, but GOOLD!"

Try to move and slowly regain control of my body. I f anyone attacks, execute defense plan 1.3

EDIT: small change added to the turn:

Leave the magma room as quickly as possible, while trying to make the numbness go away.

You can still move and try to do stuff, you just have a -1 to dexterity for the next turn.
