Turn 8

Celebrate successful self-medication by eating some candy. ((:P))

Then more words.
You grab some more candies and eat them. And now, more magic.

[POT:5=1 < DC:2]

You attempt to cast a spell and nothing happens.

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

The chocolate distracts you once more.

[POT:5=1 < DC:2]

And again.

[POT:5=1 < DC:3]

Nothing again.

[POT:3=0 < DC:2]

Yeah, nothing.

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

You're beginning to suspect that sweets and magic don't mix.
AGAIN! AGAIN!
Try to throw him off the bridge!
The two guys on the bridge keep attempting to kill each other. Some otherworldly omnipotent force approves.

[Simon SPD:6+1=7]
[Stanislauss SPD:6]

Stanislauss somehow keeps himself conscious and picks up his pace, but the crazed teen is still faster, already moving in for another stab!

[Simon DEX:1+1+1=3]
[Stanislauss DEX:4]

Fortunately for Stanislauss, he barely manages to dodge, as Simon slows down to more manageable levels. It's unfortunate for Simon though, as the albino tries to retaliate!

[Stanislauss DEX:5]
[Simon DEX:5+1]

Simon manages to evade the grasping hands of his opponent. Barely. Speaking of his opponent, Stanislauss doesn't feel too good, his already pale skin seeming even paler than it should be possible.

[Pierced vital organ 1/2]
Clearly I must focus on love!

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Magic, such a lovable creature force.

[POT:5,3=1 = DC:1]

You get some random stripes of leather.

[POT:4,2=1 = DC:1]

A small pile of packing peanuts falls onto the ground.

[POT:4,4=2 > DC:1. POT:3,5=1. Total: 3vs1]

You summon a quite large pile of coal.

[POT:6,4,5=4 > DC:3. POT:2,1,5=0. Total: 4vs3]

You summon some silvery metal bars. Yeah, magic totally loves you.
*whistles*
Yep, this magic thing is totally bullshit. Gotta persevere though.

[POT:6=2 > DC:1. POT:1=-1. Total: 1vs1]

The air in front of you forms something and moves away from you.

[POT:4=1 = DC:1]

You feel air in front of you moving away, towards wherever you were facing.

[POT:5=1 = DC:1]

Air near the ground moves away from you, in the direction you were facing.

[POT:4=1 = DC:1]

Again, the air forms something and moves away. Doesn't feel like it went straight forward this time.

[POT:2=0 < DC:2]

Nothing this time though.

[POT:3=0 < DC:2]

This time as well. Whatever, progress has been made.
Now I just need a whip to complete the ensemble. Or maybe some claws.
Yeah, a whip would be nice. But to get one, magicking needs to be done!

[POT:5=1 < DC:4]

Nothing happens.

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

This time as well.

[POT:4=1 < DC:3]

Nothing again

[POT:5=1 < DC:5]

This time too.

[POT:5=1 < DC:5]

And this time.

[POT:1=-1 << DC:7]

Yeah, another fizzle.

[POT:6=2 = DC:2]

An ethereal snail appears. It would be pretty normal, but it has wings. And feathers. The fuck? It disappears a moment later.

[POT:6=2 < DC:6]

And another fizzle.

[POT:5,4=2 > DC:1. POT:5,5=2. Total: 4vs1]

You summon a large pile of sand. Success!
Try again, dammit.
Another try it is!

[POT:4,5,3,6,4,3=5 = DC:5]
[DEX:6+1=7]

You summon some kind of black gas. It begins to expand in your direction. All kinds of warning signals are made by your instincts and you nearly instantly jump away to safety.

Well, you nearly fell into a possibly bottomless pit. That means that more science is required.

[POT:2,4,1=0 < DC:2]

Nothing happens. You need to science more! (so it can backfire and murder you horribly)

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

Not enough science.

[POT:4,3,1=0 < DC:4]

You must construct additional science.

[POT:6=2 > DC:1. POT:5=1. Total:3vs1]

The air forms some sort of weapon for a split second, but it disappears before you can get a closer look.

[POT:4=1 < DC:3]

You require more science.

[POT:3=0 < DC:1]

You have not enough science.

[POT:5=1 = DC:1]

Again, the air forms some sort of object for a moment, but you can't manage to get a closer look.

[POT:4=1 = DC:1]

Same thing as before.

It's like tea leaf divination, but with cartoon leprechauns.
There are only two sure things in life: death and taxes and lists and poor arithmetic and overlong jokes and poor memory and probably a few more things.

Turn 9

Run away from the guy, let him bleed out. Say the damned words finally and take the product.
Simon, seeing no reason for further stabbing begins to move away, but Stanislauss attempts to make one last suicidal attack.

[Stanislauss END:3-2-1+1=1] ((I forgot to include this in last turn. Did roll for it though.))

He makes a few steps in Simon's direction, but he quickly runs out of strength and falls down onto the ground unconscious, never to wake up again.

A white mist comes out of his body and quickly moves to Simon, who somehow absorbs it.

Stanislauss Y. Hurt is dead. Simon gains 1 point to spend on his stats.

Simon, while momentarily freaked out by some white smoke thing entering him, does feel stronger in some way. In a nutshell, killing feels good.

Seeing no reason to run away from a dead man, Simon resumes his magicking.

[POT:1,4,2,4,6,6=5 > 4. POT:3,4,3,4,5,6=5. Total: 10vs4]

Simon summons a long, thick chain made out of aluminum.
"Uh huh."
Real!Derm continues his research.

[POT:5=1 < DC:2]

Nothing happens.

[POT:6=2 = DC:2]

A ghostly cat appears and disappears.

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

Nothing.

[POT:4=1 < DC:3]

Once again.

[POT:6=2 = DC:2]

An ethereal squid appears and vanishes after a moment.

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

And nothing.
More science!
Beirus also continues his research. His is of a much deadlier nature however.

[POT:6,2,6,5,2,3=5 = DC:5]

You summon what appears to be glowing, white sand or something similar to it. The fact that it apparently ignores gravity and begins forming wireframes of various geometrical objects is slightly distressing.
Put the sand in my pockets
to throw at eye sockets.

Fake!Derm puts the sand in his pockets so he can throw it at eye sockets. Then he does more magic.

[POT:1,4,4,1,3,6,1,3,4,3=2 < DC:8. Dropping 6 words.]

You summon some rods of aluminum.

Varee keeps experimenting for everyone sakes.

[POT:6,1,5=2 = DC:2]

A plume of fire blazes up into the air. It appears somewhat feathery for some reason.

[POT:5,1,3=0 < DC:3]

Nothing.

[POT:5,4,6=4 = DC:4]

You summon a few pieces of plastic.

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

Nothing happens.
The sugar has betrayed me! Throw it in the magma.

Then more words.
Hregar feeling betrayed by the sugary goodness decides to throw it into lava.

[WIL:just fucking with ya]

You throw what's left out of the pile of sweets into lava. No regrets.

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

Nothing.

[POT:3=0 < DC:2]

Nothing again.

[POT:4=1 = DC:1]

You see an image of a bat that quickly disappears.

[POT:5=1 < DC:3]

Then you fail again.

[POT:3=0 < DC:2]

And again.

[POT:3=0 < DC:1]

And again.
<3

Examine those metal bars to see if I can figure out just what kind of metal that is.

Then <3 Science <3

Well, they appear to be silver in color, it's shiny. You guess it's silver. Now, time for more science.

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

Nothing.

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

And again.

[POT:6,2=2 > DC:1. POT:3,2=0. Total: 2vs1]

You summon a pile of candy.

[POT:5,3,6=3 = DC:3]

You summon a pile of shells and other insect-body part looking stuff.




Bert appears in a puff of smoke, looking disoriented, in the Magma Cavern!
