Just another reminder that having sent a PM but not posted will result in your PM being quoted. This is why you should always post in the thread. ;)

That said, I have PMs from all players, so expect the turn sometime today.

Turn 9

Start scienceing
Science train has been stopped for now. Gotta board the murder train then.
[Roary Speed: 5+6][Vearan Speed: 6-4]
[Roary Power: 4+1]
An instument appears in Roary's hands. It's got a deep round back and a bent neck, and is made of a very nice wood. The strings on the lute's neck seem to be rough fibres, as if they were made from peeled wood too.

[Vearan Power: 5+2+(2-1)][Roary Wisdom: 3+2]
Vearan points down at Roary, who twitches in response. He is then thrown to the ground as his body starts transforming into solid steel. The painful process is slowed by his will to keep living, but the steel climbs up his neck and starts to suphocate him.
Roary tries to move his limbs, and finds that they're very stiff, but he's still alive. Barely, and made of metal, but durable.
[Vearan Power: 1+2+(2)]
Vearan's second spell, though, causes both mages to curl up and start vomiting. Roary spews out large chunks of proccessed steel, and is weakened in the proccess, but he manages to endure. Vearan also vomits, and his vomit contains some steel berrings, but not nearly as much as his target.
"Damn, I wanted that one. Oh look, another one."

Fine, I'll just go kill someone else. Rassafrackin Dexterity rolls.
+1 Wisdom
[Science Speed: 6-3][Beirus Speed: 1-6]
[Science Wisdom: 6+1]
Science feels a fresh coolness, like he had just rubbed peppermint oil into his bruises, but it spreads from his bruises into his body, and he feels the bleeding inside him stop.
[Science Strength (Stop Beirus): 4-6][Beirus Dex (Escape): 4+6] ((Even if Dex were the skill used here for Science, the result would have been the same with Beirus's roll there))
Science's hands just slip off of Beirus's scales, and the draconic mage lifts into the air out of reach, and waits for Science to finish speaking.
[Science Power: 6+3]
The spell seems to go off quickly, but nothing happens.
[Science Power: 6+3]
Nothing happens.
[Science Power: 6+3]
You feel a connection to something near you... yes, one of the drawers in the desk blocking the stairwell. It's a rather deep drawer; you'd almost call it "boxy".
[Science Power: 2+3]
Science feels an anger, and something primal. Yes, this is just like before, but... less. The desire to dress up in skins is suppressed easily.
[Science Power: 2+3]
You create a sheet of yet another variety of pulsating metal. ((GM Note: Geeze the RNG loves this word, it's picked it three times already; though once was compounded))
It's red-ish and twitches when it touches the ground, but it's definitely metal.
[Beirus Strength (Dive Bomb): 4-6][Science Dexterity (Escape): 3]
Once Science has exhausted his ability to say words, Beirus drops back down and tries to grab Science. Science stumbles back and away, grabbing Youstolemyidea's page off of the ground as he scrambles back and adding it to his own, and Beirus aproaches.
[Beirus Dexterity: 3+6][Science Dexterity (Continued escape): 4][Beirus Power: 1+4][Science Wisdom: 3+1]
Beirus puts his foot on Science, struggling to grab him and get hold, but he can't do any better than a taloned foot. He speaks his words, and Science's legs are popped like crushed grapes. He's bleeding profusely again, this time externally.
Status: Arterial Bleeding (2 3 Turns) get!

So Hey, I figured out a way to open the Egg. Just try to... bunch up against one side, kay?

Do the things, and also hit the egg with another slingshot or two.
[Derm Speed: 6-6]
[Derm Strength: 3-6][Derm Strength: 6-6]
You hit the egg with two more slingshot shots. The first one starts expanding and melting away the egg's shell like before, and the second one hits the already hardened candy...
The candy keeping the egg still sealed melts away onto the floor, where it and the third candy start bubbling upwards to push the egg away; since it's under the desk, there's no-where to go, though, except out, and it pops out towards you, cracking in half where the second candy is still disolving some of the shell. The creature inside tumbles out, and shakes itself off. It's a small dragon, four legs, four wings, and a pair of large ears that swivel about and droop across it's face when not listening for threats. It's scales are white as a snow hare, and it's left ear is colored pink and it's right ear is colored blue. It looks at you and nods gratefully, but doesn't speak. It looks disdainfully at the desk decorated with skeletons, though, and snorts angrily at the slingshot you're holding.
[Derm Power: 2+3]
You feel a tendril of your being extend out and look for sometthing. In scans high and low, and you feel it starting to reced back into you when you feel it connect to someting above you.
On the roof you can see a wisp of red smoke collecting, where there had been none before; as if something that had previously been disapated were being condenced. You step back as a small "cubby" desk appears, and another, and another, in a circle of 10, around the wisp of re-dissipating smoke, and fall and crash and shatter into shards of obsidian near you.
[Derm Power: 6+3]
Three big office desks of obsidian appear in front of you.

It keeps happening!
[Flimsy Speed: 5-6]
[Flimsy Wisdom: 5+6]
*Secrets*

Quote from: Angry Obsidian Halloween Dragon
EAT FEATHERS!
[Dragon Speed: 4-3]
The dragon scurries around, eating any feathers left that it didn't burn up yet.

Derm looks at the dragon, then at the desks.

"I don't even know, man. What even... Huh. Anyway, you good?"

((I feel like that wasn't the target I specified. NAV, I think flabort just wants me to kill you.))

Edit ((Wait, he was attacking me, wasn't he? Nevermind. Thanks, flabort.))

Maybe. Maybe not. It was a spell that allowed you to speak to it in the egg, and it doesn't seem to be talking right now, maybe it can't talk normally?
It does nod, however, and yawn, when you ask it if it's good.

That was an interesting spell. Never using it again.

Back to murder.
