Turn 35
"...Is it too late to talk this out?"
EDIT: "What, not even a 'no'?"
Give Hregar a magma bath.
Beirus continues his walk to the Magma Cavern. Hregar, for some reason, stops resisting.
Having arrived at the edge of one of the pools, the adamantine man casually throws his trophy head into burning oblivion.
Hregar, having been flung into the air, initiates his plan and attempts to cast a spell that will hopefully save him for burnination.
[POT:4,2,2,5,4,3,5=4 < DC:5. Word dropped]
It seems that he succeeded, as he feels something enveloping him as he falls into the lava. The thing enveloping him being absolutely nothing. Not as planned.
The rock that was once Hregar melts and loses shape, welcoming its new magma overlords. A white mist rises from the fiery liquid and the remains of the rock man's soul are absorbed by Beirus.
Hregar is dead. Beirus gains 2 soul points.Possibly dangerous magical experimenting
One of the words piques your interest. Gotta know what it does.
[POT:4,4,2,2,4,4,1,4,4,1,5,2,3,5=6 < DC:8]
Sadly, your efforts end in failure.
Repeat previous action.
Puzzled by the weird mark, you try the spell once again.
[POT:6,4,4,4,4,5,3,3=7 > DC:6. POT:5,2,3,3,4,2,5,1=2. 9vs6]
The mark appears once again. This time the gravestone seems to be surrounded by insects, probably ants. Also, it seems that there is a skin of... a boar, you think, thrown onto the headstone.
Looks like it isn't fading away like last time.
"Interesting! What could this be?"
Pick up the wax. Smell it, shake it, poke it, throw it! Anything odd about it?
Then some more Sci<3nce!
If anyone attacks me, shoot them.
You pick up the wax. It feels like normal wax, smells like normal wax, and does everything you'd expect wax to do when thrown. Seems like it is ordinary wax after all. Feeling slightly disappointed, you go back to doing Sci<3nce.
[POT:4,1,6,3,5,5=4 > DC:3. POT:6,2,3,6,4,6=7. 11vs3]
You summon a large pool of thick, black liquid. Strangely, parts of it are becoming more blue in color, even glowing a little and attempting to form more angular shapes. Having observed the curious process for a while longer, you turn your attention to a nearby wall, pointing at it, looking at it, thinking of it and speak more arcane words in the name of Sci<3nce.
[POT:1,4,5,6=3 < DC:2. POT:4,3,4,2=2. 5vs2]
The index finger you were pointing at the wall with tingles slightly and you feel like some air moved into the direction you pointed at.
Strange, you feel a bit nauseous for some reason.
I'm tired of aiming with my left shoulder.
[POT:4=1 = DC:1]
You feel air moving in the direction you were facing towards.
[POT:2=0 < DC:1]
Seems like this one fizzled. Onto the next one then.
[POT:3,2=0 < DC:2]
So did this one. Next.
[POT:4=1 = DC:1]
You feel air moving near your feet.
[POT:2,6=2 = DC:2]
Your eyes tingle a bit and you feel air moving in the direction you were looking at the moment.
[POT:1=-1 << DC:1]
Looks like a fizzle.
[POT:3,5=1 < DC:2]
And so does this one.
[POT:6=2 > DC:1. POT:6=2. 4vs1]
You feel air moving to your right.
