Let's try this with fewer 2s in the pot roll.

Perplexicon: A New Arena: Catching spiders.
« Reply #572 on: February 19, 2015, 05:37:01 pm »

Turn 34
Skitter harder!
I'm going for the 3 - point conversion.
[Beirus SPD:6+1=7]
[Hregar SPD:2+1=3]

Beirus, tired of Hregar prolonging the inevitable suddenly picks up speed and catches up to the skittering head-spider and attempts to grab it.

[Beirus DEX:5+1=6]
[Hregar SPD:4+1=5]

And he succeeds to do so, swiftly catching hold of Hregar.

[Hregar STR:1-2=-1]
[Beirus STR:6]

The adamantine man pays no heed to the struggling stone held in his hands and begins calmly heading back to the warm cavern filled with fiery liquid, in which he had begun this heated confrontation.
Shouldn't I have the cloth in my inventory?

RUUUUUUUUN
You run under the platform, dragging the heavy cloth with you.

[POT:1,6,5,2,4,5,3,3=4 < DC:6. Two words dropped]

A mark resembling a gravestone appears on your hand for a moment. It disappears after a moment.
Wolf? Ooh, that'll be fun later on.
EEEEEHahahahahahaha
You catch your breath once more and release yet another laugh.

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

Which you release at the same moment as you attempted to cast your spell, screwing up the magic.

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

You summon a small amount of gold coins. You give them a closer look and notice that all of them have an image of some English queen embossed on them.

[POT:4,4,1=1 < DC:8]

Your laughter disrupts yet another of your spells.

[POT:3,6,4=3 > DC:1. POT:6,5,6=5. POT:8vs1]

You summon an image of a very large helmet that disappears after a while.

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

You suddenly black out, your last thought being "Have to kill."

...

You regain consciousness and find yourself midway through the hallway to the Grand Hall.
"For some reason, I feel no <3 to the number two!"

Let's try this with fewer 2s in the pot roll.
[POT:4,2,3,1,5=1 < DC:3]

Nothing happens. You feel your lack of <3 towards the number two increasing.

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

You summon an ordinary looking piece of wax.
Quote from: NAV
PM
You turn your left side towards Gigas and start casting spells.

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

Nothing happens.

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

Again, nothing.

[POT:4,5,2=2 < DC:3. One word dropped]

Nothing gets launched. Oh, and you summon a pile of... hair.

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

And another nothing.



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

"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.

Perplexicon: A New Arena: Magma bath.
« Reply #579 on: February 26, 2015, 05:15:48 pm »

Turn 35
"...Is it too late to talk this out?"

EDIT: "What, not even a 'no'?"
Quote from: Beirus
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.
Quote from: Wolfkit
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.



Starn Gundar appears in The Pit!

E Ohtyr Anus and Gigas are deathly pale. [Inactivity Syndrome]

((Damn. If that Potency roll had succeeded, I would have been home free. So close. Oh well.

Shouldn't Beirus get 2 points? I had one myself, from killing Eotyrannus the first time.))


Name: Larnik
Description: He looks like Hregar. A relative, perhaps?
Background: Hregar's older brother. Neither had much in the way of money, so they shared an apartment. Larnik came home one day to find Hregar gone and a big glowing portal in the middle of the main room.

Actually, it wouldn't really work. The material you wanted to summon would take the heat away if there was vacuum between you and it, but the spell doesn't work that way. Even if it did, the material would melt and then you would as well.

Unless I fail physics.

I usually fail physics.
Shouldn't Beirus get 2 points? I had one myself, from killing Eotyrannus the first time.
Will fix that immediately.

Also, added to waitlist.
