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.

Your body might break but your mind will not. Get back in.

My advice is to get a respectable amount of POT and attempt to ally with someone.

Will send out a PM to blazing glory momentarily. If I don't get his action within the next 24 hours I'll just skip him. Got Beirus' an hour ago.
Oh, sorry.

I'd say word-based control shouldn't be able to create, just manipulate.  But hey, you're the GM.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

I've never said that it would create though.

Perplexicon: A New Arena: Getting hot.

Turn 43
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?)
The rods look like ordinary rods made out of aluminum. You repeat the word 'Ilune'.

[POT:2,1,3,6=1 = DC:1]

You summon a small pile of sand.
Interesting spheres!  What could they be?  "Such a time to be full of <3!"


Full of <3!

Toss some more rocks into the lava.
Starn busies himself with trying to skip rocks on the lava (and failing), unsuspecting of Thrakor arriving to settle things.

[Thrakor POT:4,6,5,3,6,2,3,4,4,2=8 > DC:4. POT:1,2,1,2,4,3,3,5,6,4=3. 11vs4]
[Thrakor DEX:3+1=4]
[Starn SPD:4+1=5]
[Thrakor DEX:5+1=6]

Somehow Starn manages to dodge away from the gust of air. What he didn't expect is that there would be more of those getting fired his way. All it took was a small adjustment of the <3mancer's aim and the mechanic inched closer and closer to one of the pools with every blast. He ends up right on the edge between life and very painful and uncomfortably hot death as the barrage ends. At least his leg doesn't hurt anymore.
Murdering that dead guy.
break the zombies neck!
[Larnik SPD:1+1=2]
[endlessblaze SPD:6+1=7]
[Zombie!Gertrude SPD:6]

Zed stompage continues as endlessblaze tries to stomp the dead guy again.

[endlessblaze DEX:6+1=7]
[Zombie!Gertrude SPD:5]
[endlessblaze STR:5]

A very well aimed stomp turns the zombie's head into finely smashed paste.

[GM whim roll:1]

It appears that whatever soul was in the body is long gone.

Larnik looks at endlessblaze with disapproval, muttering something about "goddamn killstealers". Well, might as well arm himself.

[Larnik POT:6,1,3,4=2 = DC:2]

A spear made out of a sharpened bone appears in his hands.
Quote from: NAV
PM.
Quote from: Beirus
PM.
[Beirus SPD:1+1=2]
[Fake!Derm SPD:3+1-1-1=2]

Just as Fake!Derm tries to run further away from Thrakor, he finds himself under attack by Beirus, who slashes at him with his whipsword.

[Beirus DEX:3+1=4]
[Fake!Derm SPD:6+1-1=6]

Even when slowed down by his new arm, Fake!Derm manages to move himself out of harm's way.



The Manipulator appears on The Bridge!

(hint hint nudge nudge)


Get off of the bridge (I don't care which direction). Say Vzyu-Opi, all pot. I'm going to see if words with the same suffix are related.

Seriously, ATHATH, we need to have an intervention about your death mug problem.

*slow clap* Well ATHATH congratulations. You managed to give the MC a mental breakdown before we even finished the first arc.
I didn't even read it first, I just saw it was ATHATH and noped it. Now that I read it x3 to noping

You got interrupted. If your SPD roll would've been higher I'd let you cast them all.

My advice would be to murder everyone else before they murder you.

((So what does [1/1] mean? It lasts one turn, or it breaks after one use, or...?
Also, endlessblaze's sheet doesn't have the Bleeding/Missing a chunk status.))

Well, I didn't want that soul anyway. Undead souls are probably the magical equivalent of cholesterol, or something.

The 1/1 means that the spear will disappear at the end of next turn.

I'll fix endlessblaze's sheet soon.

((This is why I don't let the GM pick my targets.))
Well, you did. And I rolled for that.

Also, didn't expect piecewise to show up. I might make the next turn extra deadly in celebration.

maybeeee.....by giving everyone the control word as a freebie and not making it be costly? (you could go with the anti-control all elements measure piecewise used in his game, getting to many element control objects close=bad)
