Nooooooooo!

I should probably go look up what muramasa complex does.

Believe it was a whip, not a sword, and the endless hungerings for mortal flesh were perfectly temporary.

You used the sword word for it, thoug it was crafted out of a tongue, so probably was fairly flexible. And your rampage was temporary becouse you died.

Eh? Out of curiosity, how do you know what word I used?

And I can't swear to it, but I believe I continued to make Will saves after going on a rampage. My impression was that I had to make Will checks to avoid going berserk in a given round, not that I had to make Will saves until I failed at which point I was permahungry. The brevity of that condition might indeed make it hard to tell, though.

This is much like bushido, but more exaggerated and with something off about them, something singularly unsettling. Like the fabled Muramasa blades of japanese legend, things made with this element, especially cutting weapons, carry a particular bloodlust and madness with them. Swords made with it will be significantly sharper then normal and even armor may sport dangerous edges.    

Objects made with it might appear the same as bushido but with a marked demonic or evil appearance or twist. Animals will be violent and dangerous as well. Blades made with this substance should give a bonus to the roll determining damage and, if they go too long without spilling blood, should attempt to drive the weilder to injure or kill themselves.

Complex elements like Muramasa represent an idea rather than a discrete element. I suppose when you cast that spell with it, you dropped a word and got pure Muramasa. Judging by what happened, if you rolled too low for Willpower, you would have either died or been consumed by bloodlust.
Actually, a while back, I cut down the spellbook into a word list for PW, during that, I gave every word an identifier code. By the looks of it, this game uses those same codes. Effectively, that means you can get a fair idea of what type of effect a word does (be it elemental conjuration or attack) and it's cost just by it's code...))

[IronyOwl]

Hah, nice. About what I figured.

[DreamerGhost]

I gues that it was the sword word, becouse sword was a word people knew at the time, and nobody had ever made a whip in the game. There were bone whip arms but those were made via bone control staff. And you did roll will until you failed, after wich you basicly went NPC it was toaster who got to roll after neing mind controled by Null.

Now I have to scramble everything to fix this, casters who already know words will be re-informed, Turn delayed

[Empiricist]

((Wait what? You didn't scramble the codes? o__0 I thought you did! I just assumed that the sections were the same, not the exact words! >__<))

[Corsair]

((Wait what? You didn't scramble the codes? o__0 I thought you did! I just assumed that the sections were the same, not the exact words! >__<))

Didn't believe I needed to honestly, it was a bluff, considering that you are the only person here who managed to remember the list to that degree to spot my bluff.

[Empiricist]

((It's hard not remember the codes you personally created ^__^ Well... this is awkward... Sorry about that.))

[Sergarr]

Now we'll have to spend 8 months rediscovering those words again.

Already compiling a list of discovered words that are going to be mailed to their discoverers

Yeah, was probably me experimenting with what turned out to be the whip word. I remember it being awfully long for a sword.

The other part's just not true. I managed to kill one of my gankers with a spell prior to dying, which was obviously after I had failed at least one Will roll. Other than the that-turn compulsion to seek out things to murder, I never lost control of what I was doing.

And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that meddling creator of the system.

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

What I was thinking about the looter's delight would be, whne you kill someone you get an item, and you have the words to kill people with.

[Corsair]

How much copper? If it is big enough to sit on, then sit on it. If it is small enough to pocket, pocket it. Otherwise drum on it.

And say words.

You sit upon the burnished lump of copper - a small shining red island amid a small sea of beer reaching serveral feet in all directions,
and then you begin your drumming.

The blonde lad doubled over in pain, clutching his forearms.

"...don't suppose you can teach me to heal?" he said through clenched teeth.

Continue talking, say Words aimed outside.

"I can show you where, doing it myself would be... well there is a word for it in one of your old languages 'from the natural path' it wouldn't be... allowed.
However I can tell you where and how, only if you become a part of me."

 Score 8 DC 3: You create a large machine of brass and bronze that is an intricate system of gears that belches smoke.

"As a matter of fact, yes. What is this book, anyways? And what kind of author put in magic word and tell you nothing about what they do?"

"The book?, now, now that would be too easy, all I will tell you is that the numbers were first. Just giving you the answers would be to easy, you cannot gain power by avoiding challenge seeking it however..."

Say Yergar,commit all of my pool,go into the path in the left.

Apparently I may have crippled myself by only having a pool of 5,I can't go warrior because I need money to purchase the equipment,and money comes from words and I can't say any words because my pool is obviously not big enough.

"Time to go hiking!"

Go along the mountain path, cast Spell.

Antur   Score 4 DC 4: You summon a long thin staff of... smoke? no it is a strange glassy substance that weighs nearly nothing... it also feels quite odd. Smooth like glass but temperature wise it feels totally neutral.

 Starn   Score 3 DC 2: A large ball of blood appears in front of you then comes gushing down splattering the both of you... this day can only get better

You walk up the path slowly, it goes on for about 400 m forward and 500m up at a steep gradient the uneven stones making the climb ardouous even for
those more physically inclined. As you approach the top of the mountain you can now see much further. The city from before is reavealed to be a great metropolis rising into
the sky with shining spires, and the forest continues for at least 2 km beyond what you initially saw. Around the slight valley the forest lies in are large plains
filled with waving grass and dotted with buildings occassionally. The temple soon falls from view as you round a corner and see a ledge littered with corpses some still armed
and with enough armour for about three people from the dozen armoured corpses. The armour looks like a mixture of plate armour styles made of a . It is obvious that they were thrown from a higher point as you see some helms, shields and swords
littering the cliff they came off of.

As you investigate this you smell something sweet and cloying it surrounds you

Antur END: 3+1 = 4
Starn END: 6+1 = 7

ElderDragon(M) DEX: 5 = 5

Antur SPD: 1+2 = 3
Starn SPD: 2+1 = 3

Antur and Starn stumble slightly at the sudden smell and the great gusting wind that has suddenly spring up. They see a shadow fall across them as a large dragon comprised of a mixture of flesh and plant life hangs in the air kept aloft by the massive leaf like pinions it hangs upon. It's body is sinuous and its front legs are smaller than the hind ones which are heavily muscled. It is bright green and has a leafy crest running across its back the claws, teeth and horns of the beast appear to be a combination of wood and bone. The creature bellows a battle cry and readies itself for dinner.

Antur and BlazingGlory post reaction turns which will be dealt with separate from the normal turn structure

Get drunk.

You just made my day, seriously, you are the greatest person on earth right now.

You begin to lap up the booze off of the floor it is extremely good aside from the dust and dirt on the bottom, you are quickly drunk

[Roll: 100] EVEN BETTER
[Roll:   8] AMAZING

You wake from your drunken unconsiousness.
You are now a bird.
You vaguely remember chatting with a large raven and agreeing to serve it in exchange for... a stack of pancakes.
It directed you to hunt down and kill the bandits that infest the forest then report to the silver blade master in the city beyond.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Find these bandits.

[blazing glory]

((Did I learn the word for blood? Interesting....))

Grab a sword and shield,say the words,fill them with my entire pool,direct them at the Dragon.

((With a little luck I can become some sort of bloodmage.))
