TURN 6Update Music. (I can smell First Blood coming on...)
Character sheets have been updated up to turn 5...still have to update this turn.
Rage overpowered Rune's thoughts, and he flailed around, trying to clear the smoke from his eyes.
Then, he lowered his cannon towards the remains of the burning building, and charged his laser.
Anger overwhelms you. Why hasn't that building collapsed yet?! CHARGING: [6 + 1(Arm-Weapon) - 0(Errata: DEX will no longer effect this)] =
7;
OVERSHOTEnergy pulses through you, discharging an extremely powerful, heated burst at the building. POWER: [5 + 2(Charge) - 1(Rounds Spent)] =
6The building struggles to stay upright... INTEGRITY: [6 - 3(Damage)] =
3;
OVERSHOTA section of building collapses, but most of it manages to defy you by staying up. The poor building is half-destroyed, but hanging on.
Meanwhile, the quick charge-up on your laser cannon could have detrimental effects on your body. FORTITUDE: [1 + 3(STR)] =
4;
CRIT FAILFortunately, your tough circuits manage to avoid a complete system overload, but your internal program forces an emergency shutoff of your arm-cannon to avoid overheating. It will be down for this turn and TWO extra turns.
Use Warp Mind to control animals to kill people!
You concentrate on the strings of life energy flowing around you. You attempt to grab and twist those strings. ASTRAL: [2 + 3(IQ) - 2(Difficulty - Astral)] =
3All you manage to do is drive a passing bird insane. Its warped mind drives it to the ground, killing it. Your body struggles to keep up with the exertion of spellcasting. ENDURANCE: [5 - 2(STR)] =
3You began to grow weak under the strain of continued casting. It saps at your life-force, but you keep your eyes open and alert. (Too many more difficult spells might cause you to pass out!)
Change name to Fumbles.
((Looks like the RNG gods support the free cleanbot movement! Sorry, TFN!))
US-2497's speakers project the following: "NOW, STAY STILL ASSASSIN. THESE UNITED UNITS HAVE MANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU. QUERY ONE: HOW MANY SWIFFER MEGAMARTS EXIST ON THIS PLANET? NOTE: ANY ATTEMPTS TO CLAIM IGNORANCE WILL BE MET WITH SWIFT RETRIBUTION. NON-COMPLIANCE IN OTHER FORMS WILL CAUSE SIMILAR PAIN."
Question the prisoner! If he doesn't say anything, mop him painfully but non-lethally. Do the same if he claims ignorance. If he attempts to escape, terminate him. Watch the fiend carefully for signs of lying.
Move backwards a little and then charge David's leg with the intent of injury.
David

4US-2497
Initiative: [3 + 2] =
5Erizen
Initiative: [3 + 1] =
4TIEBREAKER: 3 (David) vs.
1 (Erizen).
US-2497 interrogates David! (YOU TWO MAY NOW COMMUNICATE FREELY. I WILL ROLL FOR TORTURE/DIPLOMACY CHECKS AS NECESSARY. (You can talk in thread between turns -- make sure not to put it in ACTION posts, or I will assume it's part of your action)).
David sighs at his poor luck and ineptitude. He is charged by Erizen. CHARGE: [3 + 1(DEX)] =
4 VS DODGE: [1] =
1 (The Random Number Gods have chosen their enemy!)
Erizen throws himself at David's thigh with full force. POWER: [6 + 1(Speed/DEX) - 1(STR) - 1(Weaponless)] =
5You bash David's shin with your body. He was almost completely protected by his dragon scales, while you took a small amount of damage from it. Negligible damage on either side.
throw knife at ABRAMS. Kill!
Void Magic Time! Erase the fucker.
Alex
Initiative: [6] =
6Zack
Initiative: [1 - 1] =
0SUPER INITIATIVE!Zack stands motionless, thinking up a spell to cast - but is unable to conjure anything up. Where's a damn spellbook when you need one?
Meanwhile,
Zack Alex whips a knife out of his belt and hurls it at Zack. THROWING: [3] =
3 VS [3 - 1(DEX) - 1(Distracted!)] =
1The knife flies through the air and embeds itself in the (Hidden Roll
shoulder of Alex. POWER: [5 + 1(STR) - 1(Poor Throw)] =
5 The knife, though badly thrown, manages to dig into Zack's shoulder, causing a severe wound. ENDURANCE: [3 + 1] =
4Zack snaps awake from his thinking and clenches his teeth, the pain emanating throughout his body. He smiles evilly at
Zack Alex. (Insert witty one liner into your next action)
I would like to morph back and walk toward the chaos
((Sorry i didnt see that it updated))
You morph into your normal form and walk into the square, observing your surroundings. (You are now aware of the happenings in the square; the colossus, the two immortals fighting, the burning building, Ethereal, etc.)
Start looking for a safe place suitable to set a camp up in.
You glance around for a place to set up. PERCEPTION: [1] =
1You are once again enticed by the fire, and wander dangerously close to the burning building. Pretty...
Heat the water up firstly, then dive in. Bathtime!
You let loose a cold (cold in hot terms, not actually cold) flame gently into the pond, before diving in. Homemade hottub! You soak in the warm water. (Your character is now RELAXED! +1 to next non-combat roll).
"<I couldn't bring all of my wives with me, could I? To bring just one or two would be blatant favoritism, no? Besides, I was grabbed in the dead of night by a gang of burly froghunters, so there's that. How've you been?>"
Chat with wife. Is it one of my better-looking wives?
You attempt to soothe your wife. DIPLOMACY: [3 - 2(IQ) + 1(Charisma) + 1(Past Relations) + 2(Top Hat)] =
5You calm her down with your words.
"You do look rather dashing in that top hat, dear," she remarks. She (5) is one of your better-looking wives; above average, but certainly not the best.
She is now non-hostile to you, and warming.
Examine the controls
Preator, what is this sphere?
As you move to examine the controls, the security droid's droning voice stops you, "
"COURSE OF ACTION NOT SUGGESTED. ORGANISM SHIELD HAS BEEN ACTIVATED. THIS AREA IS OFF-LIMITS"The Praetor, meanwhile, responds "
"Energy Sphere: MEKALOID generates and controls all power for Tartarus."well that cut a little too close
look through the pile after climbing out and see if anything of value, check coat pockets in truck for the key...
You scavenge the pile for anything of value. LOOTING: [4 - 2(Pile of Junk)] =
2You find...a pair of scissors? They appear to be made for children. You drop it off in the truck, where you find the keys sitting on top of the uniform. You sigh with relief.
Construct a makeshift shiv out of parts of the toilet by breaking shards of porcelain until I get one the right size, and then ripping one of the front pockets off my shirt to make a handle.
Edit: (What's the policy on edits?)
Singing to myself softly as I go:
If you wanna eat
the neighbor's cat
you best not feed
it poison rats
Smashing its head in
will not do
the hair is sure
to ruin your stew
...
You try to fashion a shiv from the toilet... CRAFTING: [3 + 1(IQ)] =
4You make a half-decent shiv made out of porcelain and shirt, but it's not an extremely great weapon.
You sing the fucked up song softly to yourself.
I pet the dog again and, still looking at the mirror, I take the mustache off and put it back on.
You take the mustache off. You put it back on. AFFINITY:
3In the time it takes for you to blink, your appearance changes again. It seems to be similar to the man you saw in the mirror before, but you can recognize yourself.
