EDIT:
Go to the second level of the pit.
Didn't get any PMs from you. Not going to do any magicking?

0 Potency, not much point is there?
Oh. Right. I forgot about the "can't do magic" part.

((The melting point of glass is ~2200 degrees Celsius. Magma ranges in temperature from 600 to 1300 degrees Celsius. And I wasn't expecting it to help for very long, but I figured it would have protected me for a turn or two, at least. And that would have been long enough for a Willpower roll to get me out of there, assuming I didn't completely fail it. I would've burrowed into the ground and sat around in there for a dozen turns or so, long enough for Beirus to get bored and realize IC I wasn't coming back up or dying any time soon.))

Still, the glass would transfer its temperature to you. Physics works like that, right? I'm not so sure anymore.

Does anyone else feel dishonourable when they attack an inactive person?

((It would, yes, but the important thing was putting something that started off presumably at room temperature between me and the magma that wouldn't melt away. It would have had to heat the glass before it could start melting me, and that would have bought me a few minutes I could have used.))

((Turning yourself into an elemental requires marking yourself somehow with that word. I was a head with some spider legs for a neck at that point. Didn't even have my Perplexicon book IC, let alone my charcoal "markers". Plus, I liked being a stone elemental, and I had a plan to stay alive. I just didn't roll high enough.))

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.

Just need Beirus for the turn.

Also, joyous news for you waitlist people. Inactives will get killed off next turn.

Perplexicon: A New Arena: Not much happens.
« Reply #596 on: March 04, 2015, 03:05:20 pm »

Turn 36
Go to the second level of the pit.
You climb up the ladder and take great care to not step into the weird black-light blue liquid that keeps trying to be angular in places. You take a look at the lower floor and see the other guy that was in here suddenly falling face first onto the ground.
Again!
You try once again after catching your breath for another laugh.

[POT:1,2,1,6,5,5,3,6,3,6,3,5,4,1=7 < DC:8]

Nope. You laughed for too long and left too little air for the actual word.
Does anyone else feel dishonourable when they attack an inactive person?
[POT:1,1,1,5,3,5,2,1,5,2,6=1 < DC:6]

You speak the words and nothing happens. Or maybe something does, because Gigas suddenly dropped dead. Huh.
"Oh dear!  Something here does not <3 me enough!"

Flee!  Then science will r<3sume.
You walk to the Grand Hall using The Bridge and do more science!

[POT:3,4,3,3,6,6,6,6,3,5=10 > DC:6. POT:1,2,5,3,5,3,2,1,6,4=3. 13vs6]

You summon a weird looking metal helmet with a large stabilizing fin-looking thing on the top. Looks a bit like the "this is totally how the future will look" stuff from the 50s.
Dance, dance, dance!
You do a little dance before doing another spell.

[POT:2,3,3,5,4,6,2,5=5 < DC:14]

Nothing happened.
Quote from: Beirus
PM.
You feel like dumping that guy in magma increased your strength of will. Might want to make a habit out of this.

[POT:4,5,4,6,6,2=7 < DC:1. POT:6,5,6,1,3,3=4. 11vs1]

Feels like the air started slithering along the ground in the direction you were facing towards.



E Ohtyr Anus and Gigas have suddenly dropped dead.

Gertrude the edible and endlessblaze appear in the Forest Area!

"This helmet appears to be full of <3!"


Put the helmet on!  Does it have any cool features or just brain protection?

<3 out some more science!

Use the <3 Dispenser on anyone who attacks me.
