Try to kick the crystal to somebody to harm them combined with bandaging my hand. And wordy-words on that person.

"Hah... It actually worked, who would have thought? But maybe I can find some REAL weapons or armor..."

Prepare!

Turn 4

Poke the crystal. With my finger. If it doesn't murder me, then LICK IT!
It's a crystal. Can't be dangerous. To confirm your thoughts, you reach out your hand to touch the thing.

[END:2+1=3]

As you touch the crystal, you don't feel anything wrong. So you feel it up some more. Then you look at your finger and it's cut up quite badly. Bleeding, too.

Try to break off a chunk.  If it comes easily, execute Fancy Magic Plan Alpha.  If not, just stand there and Fancy Magic Plan Beta.
[dex:1+1]
[end:3]
You attempt to break off one of the crystals but succeed only in lacerating your palm all the way to the bone as you grab it's razor sharp edge. You collapse to your knees, gripping your hand in pain. Any thought of magic words vanishes as you try and stem the blood welling from the wound.

Some things never change.



Mmm... murder...  wait what?


Do some more testing.  Interesting things are to be had.

I'm not trying to discourage you from doing it, but you do realize that trying to kick that crystal might have... consequences?

Oh yes, and I love the pain I shall feel. And possible death. A lot of death, actually.

...I'll start to make another sheet.

Or maybe it will?

A good dex roll would be a reasonably effective tactic, even!  At +1 to your END rolls, you're unlikely to completely sever your foot.

Turn 5

Try to kick the crystal to somebody to harm them combined with bandaging my hand. And wordy-words on that person.
"Hah... It actually worked, who would have thought? But maybe I can find some REAL weapons or armor..."

Prepare!
Stanislauss decides that he will be the one to finally attempt to hurt someone intentionally. Whether it will be him or that teen over there remains to be seen.

[Stanislauss DEX:2]
[Stanislauss STR:1]

Stanislauss kicks the crystal with one of the weakest kicks man can muster. It barely gets launched into the air, breaks into shards and flies in the completely wrong direction. The shards land right next to the ledge and slowly roll off the bridge.

[Stanislauss END:5+1]

Stanislauss looks down at his foot and sees it, miraculously, only slightly lacerated. Sure, it's bleeding, but it doesn't even hurt that much.

[Bleeding]

Well, that didn't go as planned. He begins to attempt to bandage his wound.

[Stanislauss DEX:3]

He rips off a sleeve from his robe and, somewhat decently, wraps it around his hand, staunching the bleeding. It looks like it might fall off if he moves too much, though.

[Bleeding] on right hand stopped.

Stanislauss then attempts to cast a spell in Simons general direction.

[Stanislauss POT:1,5,2,4,4,6=4 vs DC:14. Dropping 4 words. Success.]

You get a small pile of black stones.

Simon doesn't even register the feeble attempt on his life and continues to decipher the words.

[Simon POT:5=1 vs DC:1. Success.]

You create a transparent image of an axe that quickly vanishes.

[Simon POT:4=1 vs DC:1. Success.]

Another image - this time a scythe. Like the other one, it quickly disappears.

[Simon POT:2=0 vs DC:1. Fizzle.]

Nothing.

[Simon POT:5=1 vs DC:1. Success.]

You see an image of a large, double-sided axe.

[Simon POT:1=-1 vs DC:1. Failure.]

Nothing this time.

[Simon POT:4=1 vs DC:2. Fizzle.]

And again.
words.
Real!Derm keeps working on his words.

[POT:4,1,6=2 vs DC:2. Success.]

You hear loud orchestral music.

[POT:3,1,4=0 vs DC:2: Fizzle.]

Nothing happens.
Mmm... murder...  wait what?


Do some more testing.  Interesting things are to be had.
Thrakor, unfettered by the thoughts of murder, continues his experiments.

[POT:2,4,1,4,6,5=4 vs DC:3. Re-rolling. POT:2,1,3,1,6,6=2. Total: 6vs3.]

You summon a short, long-sleeved gambeson. It looks tough enough to withstand blades.

[POT:5,3,6=3 vs DC:4. Dropping word. Success.]

You see a ghostly bear. It roars and begins to charge at you. Thankfully, it disappears at that moment.
Armour!
Seeing how his weapon idea literally melted, Fake!Derm sets his mind on creating some protection for himself.

[POT:2,5,6,2,5=4 vs DC:4. Success.]

You summon what appears to be a breastplate made out of rubber.

[POT: 3,5,3,3,4=2 vs DC:4. Dropping word. Success.]

You see an image of a helmet. Well, that didn't work out as planned.
Science.
Wanting to further his knowledge of the arcane, Hregar begins casting potentially very dangerous spells.

[POT:4=1 vs DC:1. Success.]

You get a small pile of assorted candies and chocolates. Sweet!

[POT:5=1 vs DC:2. Fizzle.]

Nothing.

[POT:3=0 vs DC:1. Fizzle.]

Nothing again.

[POT:5=1 vs DC:1. Success.]

Smoke somehow floats up from the ground.

[POT:5=1 vs DC:3. Fizzle.]

Nothing, once more.

[POT:6=2 vs DC:3. Fizzle.]

Another failure.
Science is going slowly.
Feeling the urge to understand more words, Beirus channels his considerable potential into a spell.

[POT:1,5,6,6,1,2=3 vs DC:5. Fizzle.]

Nothing.
Never give up and move on!

Varee does what he always does.

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

What looks to be a ball of liquid fire appears above your head. It begins to fall. Shit.

[DEX:6]

You dive out of the way. That'd be cool and all, but you jump in the direction of the pit. You nearly dropped down into it but manage to grab onto the ledge. This isn't the best position to cast spells though.

[Cliffhanger]
