Turn 57
"Oh well."
New words!
Words!
[POT:6,1,3=1 < DC:2]
Nothing happens!
[POT:6,2,1=1 < DC:5]
Also nothing!
[POT:2,2,2,6=2 > DC:0. No need for re-rolls]
Everything feels brighter for a moment.
Avery will continue to run north, and when he reaches a wall, he will put the book away, point both of his hands at the ground, jump, shout gae, and if he flies off, land in the center of the hall!
You continue running and eventually reach the northern-most part of the Grand Hall's second floor. You then point your hands at the ground, jump and shout your word.
[POT:3,3,2,4,6,1=2 > DC:1. POT:1,2,1,6,4,3=1. 3vs1]
Feels like something in front of you formed something and then launched away from you. Then you land back onto the ground. Nothing happened to the wall. Nor were you launched towards the center of the hall, which is probably for the better since that would most likely break your legs/arms/face, depending on the way you would land.
PM'd words.
[POT:1,1=-2 << DC:5]
At first you think nothing happened, but then you take a look above you and notice a blob of luminous gold fluid falling towards you.
[SPD:1]
Before you can even think of jumping away, it falls onto you. You're rather thoroughly soaked in it. Doesn't look like anything's happening to you. At first. When you take another look at your hands, they look like they should belong to a 100-year old. Then your flesh withers away, starting from your fingertips. The bones that were covered by your now non-existent fingers crumble away. The process continues - you've already lost the rest of your arms and half of your legs are gone as well. In mere moments your whole body turns into dust and is taken away by a stray gust of wind.
Redz Biltubacca has experienced extreme aging. He is now dead.Gonna do a bit of science.
You hold your cleaver up and say the words. For science!
[POT:1,5,2,1,3,1,5,1,3,1,2,3=-3 << DC:5]
Nothing happens.
I wonder if...
You put the rods to your back and focus your will on them.
[WIL:2+
1=3]
You now have multiple adamantine rods sticking out of your back. They refuse to change their shape though. Then you see a flash of bright, bluish light and a guy instantly dying. It feels like you saw this somewhere before.
((you know me well))
MORE STUDY! aka random word.
[random.org=207=Vehc]
[POT:2,3,4,5=2 < DC:4]
Nothing happens.
PM
[POT:1,4,1=-1 << DC:9]
You are blinded by a sudden flash of a bright, bluish light. You don't see again, because you're dead.
DRPA-001 "Nile" irradiated himself to death.((So, the first time I read that turn, I took it at face value. But reading it again, I noticed that only 5 Potency was used for my hand fire-aura spell, rather than the full 8 - the conditional in my action to use only 5 Potency was for if he had set himself on fire and I had to use 3 Pot to dump a bunch of water on him, which never happened. I don't suppose I can get the other 3 dice added to that roll retroactively?))
Whether that unfortunate bit of altruism-induced self-immolation was retconned out or not, do that Plan B list of words from last turn.
[POT:2=0 < DC:1]
Nothing happens.
[POT:2=0 < DC:1]
Nothing.
[POT:4=1 < DC:3]
Nope.
[POT:6=2 < DC:5]
Still nothing.
[POT:3=0 < DC:1]
I'm beginning to see a pattern here.
[POT:1=-1 << DC:1]
My dice hate nearly everyone this turn, looks like.
[POT:5=1 = DC:1]
Whoa, an actual success. You see the image of a watch for a moment.
[POT:1=-1 << DC:1]
And now it's back to failure.
