I wonder if Derm has the word for holiday.

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

Turn 5

"Hello there... mmm... oh crud."

Head off to the north corner of the second floor, then do Magic Experiments No. 1, 2, and 3!

Sending P.M.
[Youstolemyidea's speed: 1]
[Youstolemyidea's Power: 1+2]
You see a shape drawn in the air, faintly. You can't quite see which one, but you'd have to say it's a disembodied limb. It vanishes.
[Youstolemyidea's Power: 3+2]
A bunch of grey slimy noodles appear in front of you. Actually, the way they smell, they aren't noodles. There's still some nerves attached to some of the noodles. Yuck, this must be a brain.
[Youstolemyidea's Wisdom: 1]
The brain in front of you twitches, then starts to expand, and then explodes, showering you with gore and nerves. Yuck*2.
[Youstolemyidea's Power: 4+2]
An image of an office desk with three drawers appears, and then fades away.
[Youstolemyidea's Power: 1+2]
Another image appears, this one looks like maybe a board and some angle-braces?

"Who's this interrupting my science? Maybe you can help. I do need new words to study."
Slardar screams like a little girl and runs up-stairs. When he sees Science he says "Don't hurt me :-[ There's a horrifying dragon monster climbing these stairs. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!"
[Science Speed: 4-3][Slardar Speed: 2-3]
((Slardar first because of order of action+reaction))
[Slardar Power: 4-2]
A medium sized rock appears just off the ledge of the stairs and falls onto the ground. It breaks into shards of obsidian, not close enough to your target to matter.
[Slardar Power: 5-2]
A slightly bigger rock appears right on the stairs, at the top. it's stable enough to stay where it is, but not big enough to count as a barricade. A definite speed bump, though.
[Science Power: 5+3]
[Science Wisdom: 6]
Science points as Slardar, but instead of Slardar changing or being attacked, Science feels a small change. His clothes become tougher and harder, and turn black. He feels himself changing, but resists and avoids it. It's harder to move like this, but better armored.
He moves closer to Slardar.
[Science Power: 3+3]
[Science Wisdom: 1]
Science isn't so lucky the second time. He feels his limbs siezing up, and can't really stop his arms from turning into solid obsidian, one frozen in the pointing position.
He gets so that he's touching Slardar.
[Science Power: 3+3]
[Slardar Wisdom: 1-2]
Slardar starts to become rigid. Then solid. Then stops moving all together. Slardar's eyes shine for a moment, and a black substance escapes from his lips before he dies. The substance flows onto Science's page and forms words.
Science smiles.
Slardar has been slain! Science gains some new words!
[Science Wisdom: 4]
Science's arms both fall off, *clunk clunk*, and the fleshy stumps start growing outwards until he has brand new arms.

"If you are sure, then I shall try to break this shell."

Break shell.
[Derm Speed: 5-6]
[Derm Strength: 3-6]
Derm accomplishes nothing but hurting his arm while pounding on the egg. Throwing the egg only results in straining his other arm and failing to lift it at all.
[Derm Power: 3+3]
Not one to give up, Derm paints a picture of a dragon on the nearby wall in bile and vomit.

I'll be taking that.
[Vearan Speed: 2-4]
Picking up the page dropped by Delekates is very easy, and nobody interferes. You put the page with your own and you notice with some interest that they fuse along the left edge; it's now a pamphlet of words.
[Vearan Power: 1+2]
You create a plate of metal, a sort of green fleshy metal that bends easily and holds it's shape well.
[Vearan Power: 3+2]
You create a thin membrane of soft vinyl that's big enough to cover the plate of metal.
[Vearan Power: 1+2]
You could swear the word created a shape, but you didn't actually see one. How odd, your brain conflicting with your vision.
[Vearan Power: 2+2]
You could swear that the ground around you was moving, rippling forward in waves. But it's just an image and fades away.

((Assuming I couldn't hear the egg conversation.))

"What're you up to, Derm? Making an omelette? And did you see that guy that ran up here? I think he was trying to kill me.
[Beirus Speed: 2-6]
[Beirus Power: 5+4]
You feel a pain in your lower belly, and it's very very strong. You feel something moving through you, and you strain to hurry it along it's way.
*pop*
An egg comes out of Beirus's bottom, that looks identical to the one Derm is beating up, but much smaller.
[Beirus Wisdom: 2]
Nothing happens.
[Beirus Power: 3+4]
A large black desk, like a school principle would sit behind, materializes. It's obviously made of solid obsidian, but it's got a functional center drawer and three drawers on either side of that, as well as a mossy soft surface on top to do paperwork on.


Flimsy Wizard Spawns as Purple on the North-East lower level.

You can fake being able to run on water. You can't fake looking cool when you break your foot on a door and hit your head on the floor.

Turn 6

Stay in my corner, dodge if attacked. Magic experiments 4, and 5!
[Youstolemyidea speed: 5]
[Youstolemyidea Power: 1+2]
The image seems to be some sort of... foot? It vanishes.
[Youstolemyidea Wisdom: 5]
Some of the scattered brains start to squirm, and then grow themselves into entire brains. Yuck*3.
[Youstolemyidea Power: 3+2]
This time an image of a small bookshelf appears, then disappears.
[Youstolemyidea Power: 2+2]
You get a small stack of fire-wood.
[Youstolemyidea Power: 4+2, Wisdom (cast): 1]
Nothing happens when you say the fifth and last word.

"Excellent, more words to research."
Research more words
[Science Speed: 5-3]
Slardar's paper is still clenched in his now obsidian hand. You pull it out, and add it to your own. They fuse along the left edge into a pamphlet.
[Science Power: 5+3]
You are smothered with feathers, as if a down pillow had exploded. They settle around you in a waist-high pile.
[Science Power: 5+3]
You see an image of what is most definitely a cross-bow.
[Science Power: 1+3]
You think up a code of honor. Not much else happens, and you don't really feel bound to follow it.
[Science Power: 2+3]
You create an image of three upright posts connected with some wire.
[Science Power: 6+3]
You create a whirlwind of feathers, but these ones seem to be delicately carved from balsa wood. They settle around you in a neck-high pile.
[Science Power: 6+3]
A crossbow made of wood appears, with a built in quiver full of wooden bolts. Looks like it takes both hands to load and fire, but you figure you could easily do so.
[Science Power: 1+3]
A faint image of what is most definitely a desk appears, persists a little while, then vanishes.
Actions sent.
[Flimsy Speed: 6-6]
[Flimsy Power: 5+6]
You feel a connection to Derm's giant egg.
[Flimsy Power: 1+6]
You feel a connection to Derm's slingshot.
[Flimsy Power: 3+6]
Nothing happens.
[Flimsy Power: 4+6]
Nothing happens.
[Flimsy Power: 3+6]
You create a large pile of salt.
[Flimsy Power: 3+6]
Nothing happens.
Science continues.
[Vearan Speed: 3-4]
[Vearan Power: 3+2]
A web of steel lines draws itself into the ground, creating a circle of branches spreading outwards from right underneath you.
[Vearan Power: 4+2-1]
Nothing happens. Maybe you might have heard something, but if so it was so soft you didn't really notice.
[Vearan Power: 1+2+1]
Obsidian erupts from the ground in front of you, and rolls forwards in a violent wave of churning rocks; it disapates and collapes a distance away.
"Maybe..."
[Derm Speed: 4-6]
[Derm Power: 5+3]
You create a desk, about as large as the one Beirus made, right on top of the egg. The egg fits neatly into the space under the desk where your legs would go.
[Derm Power: 6+3]
A large number of vines grows out of the ground, that cling to the new desk.
[Derm Power: 2+3]
You feel connected to somewhere above you, near where Science is. You feel that it's a pile of feathers you're targeting.
[Derm Power: 1+3]
You get mad. REALLY MAD. RAAAAGH. GRRR. You punch the egg in your anger, bruising your hand.
"I...don't know how to feel about this. This is disturbing on so many levels.:
[Beirus Speed: 1-6]
[Beirus Wisdom: 3]
Your stump twists a little, and is a lot less jagged and wound-like.
[Beirus Wisdom: 5]
The now smooth stump starts to expand, becoming a limb, and growing rudimentary fingers.
[Beirus Wisdom: 2]
Nothing happens.
[Beirus Wisdom: 1]
You feel your tail growing. It grows to a length that wraps itself around you twice, but it's really hard to control.
[Beirus Wisdom: 4]
Your arm finishes healing until it's the same as your other arm, except mirrored correctly. Yes, you have wings now.
You don't have enough pool to cast the last word.
