You're behind life? Goddamn, 4mask. Why'd you make it possible for people to get fat?

Erm...
It's a long story involving a toothbrush, a can of coke, and a Java program.

In all seriousness, though, you WILL get an update tomorrow.I SWEAR!

I could probably help with one of those.

Yesterday's tomorrow is today's today; don't push this into tomorrow's today.

I'm working on the post as we speak, just gimme a bit.

That was a joke about why I made it possible for people to be fat.  Only the last one actual got in the way of the story.

The Battle of the Arena, Part Three

Through the pain in his leg and side, Thanatos saw Thane be joined by Sir Brenzen as the two assailed their opponent.  The human was keeping them at bay, but seemed to be on the defensive, unable to launch a full-scale attack of her own.  He groaned and tried to stand, only to have his leg crumple out from under him.  He knew not how wounded he was, but he knew it was bad.

He tried to stand again, and suddenly he heard FallenAngel's voice, as if spoken directly to his mind, "The cord, cut the cord.  It powers her, makes her stronger.  We can't win while she draws that power."


Brenzen growled as his pick slammed once more into Oku's armor, only to glance off without making a dent.  It was all well and good that he could keep her on the defenses, but if his weapon couldn't hurt her this battle would never end.  Thane wasn't having much more luck, as Oku seemed more focused on keeping her from scoring any blows.

While he was distracted by this thought, Oku spun around, her blade slicing through his adamantine breastplate and delivering a heavy slash across his chest.  Before his mind could even register the pain, her foot slammed into his lower body, driving him across the room and knocking his feet out from under him.  His head slammed into the wall and everything went dark.


At the sight of her friends being hurt, possibly killed, Thane's anger boiled over into rage.  She felt a tugging sensation within her, followed by an influx of energy.  The room seemed to brighten, the shadows becoming less pronounced, and she charged at the smug human who had hurt Thanatos and Brenzen.  Her hammer crashed down on the back of the human's breastplate, and to her surprise the hammerblow made a large dent in the armor.  The human stumbled a few paces forward, doubling over, and Thane went in for the killing blow.

As she brought her hammer down where the humans head was, her opponent dropped to the ground and rolled to the side.  Before Thane could regain her balance, she felt the blade cut into her arm, nearly severing it.  She cried out in shock as her body dropped to the ground, and the human slowly stood, raising her sword high.

"You want to play with magic, little dwarf," the human whispered, shadows coalescing around the blade, "Then die by it."

That was interesting.
I wonder what will happen next. Will RisenDe- *gets shot*

RisenDemon and FractalEntity will have their moments, yes.  I'm just not going to share what exactly they'll be doing.

My guy is so dead. It's kind of ironic "Thanatos" the Greek god of death being killed by some shadowy human just give the guy a scythe!!!!!

Relax, unusual magic is prevalent enough in the fortress that, even if you die, if someone liked you in-story, you might be able to be brought back. Somehow.
Let's not get into details...

[jrrocks05]

That would be even more ironic . The character named after the Greek god of death "Thanatos" brought back to life.

Come back as a lichm

Lichm???

It's also the one I could help with.

And people, please. Enough with the bringing back from the dead. There was a rule against it in the first post, and it has been broken far too often already.
