Say a RANDOM word at my wounded arm. Run away.

I gaze into its milky depths, searching the wheat and sugar for the meanings I can never find.
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.

Perplexicon: A New Arena: Bisection! Stomping zeds! Random ant-boar hybrid!
« Reply #707 on: April 07, 2015, 03:53:28 pm »

Turn 42
"Hmph."
kick the zombie if the face
[Larnik SPD:6+1=7]
[endlessblaze SPD:1+1=2]
[Zombie!gertrude SPD:3]

Suddenly, Larnik comes out of the hallway leading to The Pit, notices the zombie on the ground, punctuates his discovery with a "Holy shit!" and immediately attempts to launch a spell at the walking dead.

[Larnik POT:2,6,4,5=4 > DC:2. POT:3,5,2,1=0. 4vs2]
[Larnik DEX:1+1=2]
[Zombie!gertrude SPD:1-2=-1]

He summons a sizable ball of stone and fires it at the lying cadaver and the rock lands on the zombie's legs, crushing them completely.

[Zombie!gertrude STR:4+1=5]

Gertrude's corpse doesn't even notice that its legs are useless and attempts to bite at the ankles of endlessblaze, ripping the rotten legs away from its body as it tries to get closer to its prey.

[Zombie!gertrude DEX:5-2=3]
[endlessblaze SPD:1+1=2]
[Zombie!gertrude STR:3+1=4]
[endlessblaze END:3+1=4]

And it succeeds, biting into endlessblaze's (who was distracted by a random guy suddenly appearing and shooting big rocks at the thing he was just fighting) sweet flesh and ripping away a small chunk of it.

endlessblaze: Right Leg - [Bleeding/Lacks a chunk], [Pain]

[endlessblaze STR:4+1=5]

Endlessblaze swiftly responds to the aggression with a stomp to the head, making quite a dent in it. Still, it isn't enough to finish it off - it's still trying to bite the leg he just stomped it with.
None shall escape my adamantine wrath!
Say a RANDOM word at my wounded arm. Run away.
[Coward SPD:4+2=6]
[Beirus SPD:2+1=3]

Taking advantage of his short respite Coward attempts to fix his wounded arm. Or rather, his nonexistent arm.

[randomorghelppls:174]
[Coward POT:3,3,4,2,2,1,3,5=1 = DC:1]

He summons an image of a screwdriver for a moment. Salvation!

Or not. Beirus has just entered the hallway.

[Beirus DEX:6+1=7]
[Coward SPD:4+2=6]
[Beirus STR:6]

He swings his arm yet again causing the whipsword to sail through the air once more. The sharp blade makes a clean, diagonal cut running from shoulder to opposite hip. After a few moments the two pieces separate and fall apart onto the ground. Coward McGannigan spends the last few seconds of his life in intense agony. As he passes away the gravestone mark on his hand flashes brightly and an image of a weird cross between an ant and a boar appears for a moment. A while after that white mist lifts itself from Coward's body and is quickly absorbed by its new owner.

Coward McGannigan is dead. Beirus gains a soul point!
Why do people keep seeing me as an aluminum man? I'm wearing a full body rubber suit!
You ignore the fact that someone just got bisected before your eyes and focus on creating aluminum. As the metal forming what was left out of your shoulder expands you begin willing it to a specific shape.

[WIL:3]

After a few moments your shoulder is back, and with it your arm. It's bigger than your other one and in place of your forearm and hand is a large, long claw. It's blunt though. And a bit too large.

Fake!Derm: Left Arm is back and ends in a large, blunt claw. Torso is fixed.

You then set out to do some magic while walking to the Forest, dragging your claw behind you.

[POT:4=1 < DC:6]

Nothing happens on your first spell.

[POT:1=-1 << DC:6]

On your second spell - nothing as well.

[POT:3=0 < DC:6]

Third one? Also nothing.

[POT:2=0 < DC:4]

Fourth one succeeds in failure.

[POT:5=1 < DC:5]

Fifth one fails at success.

[POT:5=1 < DC:6]

Sixth one is just a failure.
I say the two words I failed to say with 2 POT each.
You try the words you've failed again.

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

You summon a few rods of what appears to be aluminum.

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

You summon a small pile of 2x4's.
Alright...

Skip turn.
You skip some time by throwing small rocks into lava.
What a slacker.

"Why do people run from <3?  <3 is love!  <3 is life!"


More <3 is in order here.
You do some experimenting while walking to the stairs.

[POT:2,2,5,1,6,6,6,5,2,3=7 = DC:5. POT:1,2,3,3,5,6,1,4,5,5=4. 11vs5]]

You focus your attention on a nearby spot on the wall and say your words. Nothing is launched. You are surprised for a brief moment until you notice 7 translucent white balls slowly floating in circles slightly above your head. As you continue walking, they appear to be following you around.

I look at the rods to see if there's anything different. I say 'Ilune' again. (That's the first of the words I failed, right?)

All fanfics are heresy, each and every one, especially the shipping ones. Those are by far the worst.

The one you failed first would be Aajvv actually.

The one you still haven't cast successfully would be Vsnhae (out of the first five words).

EDIT: Actually, you've already managed to cast all of the first five words.

Not that it would make much difference, but shouldn't my total pot be 7+4 = 11?


Interesting spheres!  What could they be?  "Such a time to be full of <3!"


Full of <3!

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.

I can't count apparently, will fix in a moment. It actually would make a difference.

EDIT: Done, enjoy more balls.

*sees contingency: death word* Urge to suicide bomb (contingency: death+(fire*a lot), then run up to something and say fire*a lot, effectively blowing up twice) bosses rising... Hm. If another player told me to suicide bomb something, and I obliged, would the resulting souls go to him/her? What I told him/her to tell me? What if you are a hive mind? Actually, that's a pretty cool character concept. Bomb things, and the souls will go to the hive mind and thus to the next character.

(Can someone ask their guide the following?) Can you have multiple contingencies active at once? What if they are of different types?

If someone told you to suicide bomb something, the souls would disappear. Only the person who killed the other can absorb their soul. If you told someone to tell you to kill something you'd be effectively telling yourself to kill something. No hiveminds.

You can have multiple marks (although I'll probably limit them to only one of each type at once (and in the case of the suicide and "on death" marks they'll cancel themselves out)).

And why aren't you on the waitlist yet!? I need more people to die.

Eh... If there was a team that shared wordlists with members of it, I'd be fine. But as it is, I'd be severely behind in the magical arms race, and the character concept I had in mind requires the words for control, staff, and many materials (and some shapes). Here he is, if anyone wants to share a word list with the required words, I'll join and ally with them:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
If he has a control staff, people with a zero in will can't succeed on a will roll against him without outside factors (the lowest he can roll is a 6, and the highest they can roll is a 5). If he's teaming, I might reduce potency to zero and bump will (requiring three points in will to have a 1/36 chance of resisting).
