Turn 097Seriously? Two ones in a row?
Also, PM sent.
[Flimsy spd:2
-1=1]
[Lion spd:1
-1=0]
The Wizard frantically tries to push himself away from the cursed wall, as the golden lion prepares to jump onto him:
[Flimsy str:6
-1=5]
((I should have given you a -1 for having one non-functioning arm. I just ignored it because I didn't realize it in the previous turns. From now on, pushing will suffer the -1 penalty))
And despite his broken arm, he manages to create enough distance to negate most of the pull, and finally just shoves the wall a little more to completely get away from it! That's something great! On the other hand, the lion is after him again:
[Lion dex:6
-1-1=4]
[Flimsy dex:4
-1=3]
[Lion str:2
+1=3]
A quick swipe with a paw from the lion catches Flimsy's head and causes some important cracks in it, the great weight of the golden creature generating a lot of force. The Wizard feels how his perception of the world seems to have turned into a blurry mess.
The Flimsy Wizard has now
[Dizziness]I should probably post an action
Keep doing what I was doing.

[Jack spd:2
-2=0]
[Robert spd:4]
Seeing that his precious prey is about to be stolen, the diamond God reacts quickly and tries to unleash a hopefully lethal spell:
[Robert pot:2
+1+1=4]
[Robert dex:6]
[Systar dex:1
+1-3+1=-1]
[Systar will:4]
Systar begins to glow, but he forces the magic away with the willpower only the "OH GOD I DON'T WANNA DIE" situation can give you.
The guy with the obsidian arms, meanwhile, finally makes a move:
[Jack dex:4
+1-1-1=3]
[Systar dex:3
+1-3+1-1-1=0]
[Jack str:4
+1=5]
He pounds Systar's head with one of his arms. The movement was quite awkward, requiring him to use mostly his waist to achieve a kind of sideways strike, that fortunately reached the poor
punching bag Systar in the back of his wiggling head. The blow hits him badly and he can almost sense how little cracks are produced in his brain-preserving capsule, also known as skull. The word around him goes awry as he feels like his whole body is spinning around.
Systar has now
[Pain II] in his head.
Systar also has
[Dizziness]His bleeding is now at the last stage:
[Heavy bleeding 1/3]"What the... well, this is just GREAT! Dammit!
Now I can't even... wait... YES! I GOT THIS!"
If I can still talk, say A-865 + Y-109.
If not, try to roll on other faces to see if I can move at all.
If even this fails... well... just wait, maybe something will happen.
I mean, it must be temporary, right? I can't just screw up like this forever, right? RIGHT?
[Pot:5]
You somehow manage to cast the spell, maybe by speaking in your mind or something. You flash with light, and now you are back at your human form! Yes! You then begin to glow with a controlled intensity. The magic is awaiting your command.
Apply body liberally to portal.
Lets take this shit places.
You jump through the portal, and fall into a room full of plants. Ahh, the Greenhouse Room, so peaceful in here.
NO ACTION
Ali feels a chill run down his spine. Maybe he should move or do something to stop feeling it. You know, exercise helps.
NO ACTION
The tiny lizard keeps channelling his magic potential, but notices an unnerving cold running through whatever thing acts as his biometal spine.

GM commentsWe are back! Turns should return normally now. Also, I have decided to implement a balance change:
Balance change:Weight modifiers (Light and heavy, and all their associated tags) no longer provide bonuses to aiming spells. This is because the main idea of the weight modifiers was to make them into trade-offs. Without anything to lose once the Potency stat replaces Strength to perform attacks (casting spells instead of physically attacking), there is actually only limited drawbacks to becoming an ultralight caster, while being insanely OP to hit stuff with magic. Alternatively, trying to hit stuff with magic while being super-heavy should not be a hindrance.
