Perplexicon: A New Arena: Shocking suicides! Inkstained walls! Abandon ship!

Mwoo-ha-ha-ha!
You continue your maniacal laugh as you cast some spells.

[POT:5=1 < DC:2]

Nothing happens. Maybe because you were laughing mid-word.

[POT:2,1=-1 << DC:2]

Yeah, you're laughing too much.

[POT:5,4=2 = DC:2]

You feel that the air near you formed several somethings and started moving around you.

[POT:4,4,1=1 = DC:1]

You summon some ethereal goo that disappears after a short while.

[POT:3,3,3=0 < DC:2]

Your laughing intensified after experiencing the euphoria of two successful spells in a row. You ended up running out of breath just as you were completing the word.

[POT:5,3,5=2 < DC:8]

You spend the next few minutes trying to catch your breath.
"Not what I expected!  Still, an unexpected result leaves room for <3!  Or was that science?  I so get the two mixed up!"

Sci<3nce!
Sci<3ncemancy!

You point your hand at Werty, who's still lying down on the ground, and attempt to will your fancy bone plating to do something.

They turn transparent. Intrigued by this, you attempt to touch one of the plates and your fingers pass through the bone as if it's not there. You then will them to turn back to normal and they do so.

Back to magic.

[POT:2,3=0 = DC:0]

You fire a small blob of a bright, luminous fluid at Werty's face, which immediately proceeds to age at an extremely rapid pace. After some time whatever was left of his skull turned into dust. You noticed that some grass grew and withered in moments on the ground around his head and the few pebbles that were splashed by the fluid turned into various jewels. Your observations are cut short by the familiar white mist entering your body.

Werty is dead. Thrakor gains 1 point.

Having accidentally disposed of your test subject, you continue with the other spell you planned to cast.

[POT:3,3,2,4,5,5,6,5=6 > DC:5. POT:1,5,6,6,6,2,4,2=7. 13vs5]

You fire a shotgun-like blast of lead pellets into the wall. This spell might come in handy later on.
Carve some words into that inactive guy.
You walk up to Scintillant and carve some words into his flesh with your trusty halberd.

[Scintillant END:4]

He takes the pain quite well. But you do not care for that. You then proceed to channel magical energies into the sentence you created on his body.

[Fake!Derm POT:4,5,3,3,6,1,5,5,6,4=8 > DC:5]
[Scintillant END:3 vs DC:5]

Scintillant's flesh begins transforming into an inky amalgam of bolts, arrows and bullets, before something goes awry, which causes him to be launched to your right and spectacularly splatter on a wall, leaving a large black stain. Looks like he's dead. Oh well. The familiar white mist seeps out of the stain and enters you.

Scintillant is dead. Fake!Derm gains 1 point.
Wear the cloth, add *PM* to wordlist.
You throw the cloth around your body. The lead makes it quite heavy, and the length of the cloth does impede your movement somewhat. It might provide some protection though.

[POT:6,1,3,2,6,4,3,6=6 < DC:7. Dropping word]

You summon another roll of cloth. It seems to have some leather mixed in there too. It's also covered in some yellow dust, which is spread around the place by a small gust of air.
Hmm.
Hug 2: Hug Harder
[Beirus SPD:4+1=5]
[Hregar SPD:2+1-1=2]

[Beirus WIL:3]

The spikes expand inside Hregar, cracking him more and more. However, the victim of the deadly hug has a clever plan!

[Hregar WIL:5+1=6]

He wills his head, along with a small part of his torso to separate from his body and form spider legs. He proceeds to jump off the the rock that was once him and begins moves towards the exit.
Quote from: Entity
Make this flesh-puppet dance on my strings.
"Should be enough rest."

Mask? takes the pen he summoned earlier and writes a word on the rubber nail.

[POT:4,3,1,6,4=3 = DC:3]

He then grabs it and stabs himself deeply in the arm with it. Within moments, the arm changed into rubber.

Using his new arm, he writes another word, this time on the lightning nail.

[POT:4,4,5,2=3 > DC:2]

Then he uses it to stab himself in the neck.

His whole body (head and arm excluded) turn into lightning. Which quickly dissipates, leaving only the rubber arm and head behind.

"Shocking, isn't it?"



E Ohtyr Anus reappears in the Pit.

Gigas reappears on the platform above the Grand Hall.

Stop laughing? That sounds... sane. And thus, completely out of the question.

((That was my actual action, as in "skitter (away from the metal murder man)". I left it vague so he might think I was gonna try something else. >:(

Well, maybe I will try something, now. He hasn't posted yet...))

Yeah, I thought that might be an actual action, but I wanted to make sure.

And he has PMd me.

Skitter skitter!
Quote from: Beirus
PM
[Beirus SPD:4+1=5]
[Hregar SPD:5+1=6]

While Beirus is breaking away from the stone that was once his opponent, said opponent's head uses its slight head start to skitter away to the Grand Hall.

[Beirus STR:5]
[Beirus SPD:2+1-1=2]
[Hregar SPD:1+1=2]

Beirus crushes parts of the rock that were stopping him from moving without too much difficulty and begins going after Hregar, who actually hasn't managed to get that far. Still, they move at more or less the same speed. Seems like this battle is going to last a while longer.
+1 Str!

"So much <3 here!  I want to discover all the <3!"

<3 more!
You quickly move up the ladder and go back to discovering teh <3s.

[POT:2,2,2,2,3,3,2,2,5,2=1 < DC:4]

Your spell fizzles. Surprising, considering how much power went into it.
+1 Pot

More science!

You walk over to the northern part of the wall and use the halberd's spike to carve a word into it. Then you allow some of your magic to flow into it.

[POT:4=1 = DC:1]

A part of the wall seems to somehow swirl around like gas while still keeping its shape. Seems like it only gained some properties of smoke, instead of becoming smoke. Still, you're pretty sure that it's possible to transform it into actual smoke. Perhaps there is a different method of doing this. You'll think about this later - time for spells.

[POT:5=1 < DC:5]

Nothing happens.

[POT:6=2 < DC:5]

This spell fizzles as well.

[POT:1=-1 << DC:8]

So does this one.

[POT:3=0 < DC:8]

And this one.

[POT:1=-1 << DC:4]

Nothing is happening.

[POT:1=-1 << DC:6]

Nothing is still happening.

[POT:4=1 < DC:6]

Seems like you need focus your magic for these ones.

[POT:6=2 < DC:5]

Still fizzling everything.

[POT:4=1 < DC:6]

Still nothing.

[POT:5=1 < DC:7]

In the end you learned nearly nothing.
Is that... RUN AWAY!
You run away from the maniacally laughing guy and end up back in the Grand Hall. You then wonder why haven't you thought about experimenting some more with this magic stuff.
Stop laughing? That sounds... sane. And thus, completely out of the question.
Nyahahahahahahaha
You see some guy run away back into the place he came from the moment he noticed you. It gives you another bout of maniacal laughter.

[POT:5,3,6=3 > DC:2. POT:4,1,3=0. 3vs2]

You summon a blob of colorless liquid. Smells pretty foul.

[POT:3,3,2=0 < DC:2]

Then you fail.

[POT:3,5,5=2 = DC:2]

You summon an image of a wolf. It soundlessly howls and disappears.

[POT:4,5,1=1 = DC:1]

You summon an image of a watch.

[POT:4,1=0 < DC:1]

Then you run out of breath because of the laughing.



E Ohtyr Anus and Gigas feel sick. [Inactivity Syndrome]
