[Beirus]

It's because I'm obsidian, isn't it? I'm going home.

[flabort]

Turn 10

I warned you all if you didn't post I'd quote your PM. Last warning, and the words are obsured this ONE TIME.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I really don't get this combat system at all. Much prefer the normal perplexicon system.
Also, shouldn't that final wisdom roll have had my +1?

"█████" myself to healthy.
"██████ + ██████" myself into a strange metal man.

Try to make physical contact with Beirus.
If Beirus touches me at any point, then say "███████ + █████" repeatedly until I run out of pool or he's dead. Only say these words if he's touching me.

If Beirus never touches me, then say "█████ + █████ + █████", try to figure out where it aims. Try to aim at Beirus with my mind, eyes, hands, everything I have.
If I figure out how it aims, cast the same spell again and aim at Beirus again.

Otherwise science these 3 words cause I don't see another way to win this fight.

From now on a failure to post will not result in obscured words.

It's because I'm obsidian, isn't it? I'm going home.

No feathers? Murder. Anger

[Science Speed: 5-3][Dragon Speed: 3-3][Beirus Speed: 6-6]
[Science Wisdom: 2+1]
Science's bleeding stops. His legs fail to reapear, but the stubs seal up and feel much better.
[Science Power: 2+3]
Science grins, and grunts as his skin transforms into a red substance, and hardens into metal. He can feel very clearly that his new flesh is still alive, and possibly even more sensitive than his old, but far more durable. He even feels like he could reshape it with a little effort.
[Science Dexterity: 4][Beirus Dexterity: 5+6]
[Science Power: 3+3]
Science points, stares, and focuses his intensity on Beirus as he flies upwards. However, try as he might, he feels the spell connecting elsewhere, again in the nearby desk's boxiest drawer. He hears a thump, the drawer is bumped open from inside, and a black obsidian mask slowly rises up from inside the drawer, accompanied by a ball of red smoke that does not appear to be dissapating this time.
Moving on to science, Science says his other three words.
[Science Power: 5+3]
An image of a disembodied left foot appears. Gruesome, it even appears to be bleeding. It vanishes like most images.
[Science Power: 2+3]
A pile of grey matter appears nearby. Icky, someone's brains.
[Science Wisdom: 1+1]
Nothing happens.

Beirus returns to the lower level, leaving Science alone. On his way, he's met by a smaller dragon as black as he is; maybe blacker and shadowier. The dragon screaches in rage and tries to bite his arm.
[Dragon Strength: 4+2][Beirus Dexterity: 3+6][Beirus Strength: 4-6]
The bite misses. Beirus retaliates by grabbing it's tail, and trying to whip it around into the ground but failing to do anything to hurt it.

Derm looks at the dragon, then at the desks.

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

[Derm Speed: 3-6]
[Derm Power: 5+3]
Your spell searches out for it's target, and doesn't find one at first. But it locates a sliver of a valid target, and the spell takes hold. You are unable to see it's effects from where you are, but there is a single feather located under the foot of an obsidian statue on the second story. From there, vines sprout and climb all over the statue, and many colors of flower bloom from the vines. And some flowers bear fruit, in the shape of eggs.
[Derm Power: 3+3][Derm Wisdom (Prevent Miscast): 5]
Again you can feel your spell searching for a target, but it fails to find any and fizzles. The nearest desk to you flickers for a second, but is unchanged.

The easter dragon climbs on top of the halloween desk and starts to claw at it, carving gashes into the skeletal decorations, until it senses the vines you grew. It takes off, heading towards the second level.

That was an interesting spell. Never using it again.

Back to murder.

Well crap.

[Roary Speed: 4+6][Vearan Speed: 3-4]
[Roary Power: 1+1]
A pyramid shape appears, and very briefly you can feel a tug towards it, but it vanishes almost immediately.
[Vearan Power: 2+2+(0-1)][Roary Wisdom: 2+2]
Roary manages to shrug off the spell, barely.
[Vearan Power: 1+2+(1+2)][Roary Dexterity: 4]
Vearan tosses a sandal through the air, a sandal of pure steel. It arcs towards Roary, who attempts to dodge; it hits his nose from the side, breaking the steel cartilage and causing him to bleed, but doesn't damage anything else.

This probably won't do anything interesting.

[Flimsy Speed: 1-6]
[Flimsy Power: 1+6]
Flimsy Wizard starts doing the chicken dance and says his words. A pile of salt appears under his feet, causing him to slip for a moment before regaining his balance.
[Flimsy Power: 6+6][Flimsy Wisdom (Miscast?): 5+6]
A lot of energy is released, looking for a target for Flimsy's second spell. No valid target is found, though, and the energy returns to Flimsy and settles down.

"How'd you like that, huh?! Now be good and die already!"

Humiliation has been delivered. Now to deliver murder.

[Dermonster]

I don't even know what's going on anymore.

This is now a dance party. The best dancer gets three souls. Trust me; my dad works at Perplexicon.

Do things in a calm fashion.
By calm, I mean panicked screaming.

Turn 11

Do things in a calm fashion.

"How'd you like that, huh?! Now be good and die already!"

Humiliation has been delivered. Now to deliver murder.

[Roary Speed: 3+6][Vearan Speed: 3-4]
[Roary Power: 6+1]
A large pyramid appears in front of Roary, a monumental stack of wooden planks in a tall pointed shape.
[Vearan Power: 6+2+(1+2)]
[Roary Dexterity: 1]
A massive wall of steel bearings is launched upwards from where Vearan is standing, and it arcs upwards, and then down towards where Roary is still trying to get away. They churn and roll in a wave as they crash down on the pyramid, breaking it apart into drift-wood. The wave continues and crashes against the wall, crushing Roary under a massive pile of steel and fractured wood. He struggles to stand, but his strength is gone; he is pitted and marked and worn away to almost nothing by that wave. His head crumbles, and some ink finds it's way out of his body onto Vearan's paper.
Roary is dead. Vearan gains some new words and a stat point.
[Vearan Power: 5+2+(1+1)]
Vearan points at the pile of bearings and scrap wood. They all gain a large amount of mass suddenly, the bearings underneath launching the ones on top upwards; they crash down making noticable dents in eachother and presumably the floor.

Science gotta science.

What? I did a thing.

I don't even know what's going on anymore.

[Science Speed: 3-3][Beirus Speed: 5-6][Derm Speed: 1-6]
Beirus circles back around and Derm starts climbing the stairs.
[Science Wisdom: 5+1]
Science's legs regrow. He wiggles them around, and they seem to be like normal. The process seems slower, though, than his previous words.
[Science Power: 6+3]
An image of a desk appears, quite clear. It vanishes after a while.
[Science Power: 3+3]
An image of a storage shelf appears. Four levels of storage. Then it vanishes.
[Science Power: 3+3]
A large log of cedar appears. It's roughly the size of a teenaged child.
[Science Power: 4+3, Wisdom: 5+1]
Science feels himself speeding up as his newly returned legs densen and his metalic muscles loosen up. +1 Speed
[Science Power: 2+3]
Science suddenly returns to being made of flesh, as if he were never made of biometal in the first place.
[Science Power: 4+3]
You hear something appearing in the nearby desk on the stairs. If you had to guess, the large boxy drawer got lubricated.
[Beirus Strength: 6-6][Science Dexterity: 3][Beirus Dexterity: 6+6][Science Dexterity: 3]
Beirus crashes into the ground beside science, missing his attack. He rolls over and grabs Science while his tail catches up and wraps around science.
[Beirus Power: 3+4][Science Wisdom: 6+1]
Science's limbs all simutaneously explode inwards with crushing force. Nothing is left of them, and he's bleeding really badly.
[Derm Strength: 3-6][Science Dexterity: 2-6][Beirus Dexterity: 2+6]
Beirus drops science while derm fits a candy ball into his slingshot. Science wriggles in pain and fear, trying to worm away, but Derm fires. He lets go too soon, and the shot flies into the air... and falls down, hitting science anyways. The candy bubbles outwards, covering his face and glueing him to the ground. He tries to scream as he feels his skin melt, but his mouth and nose are both filling with acidic candy.
Science stops moving after a while, and a wisp of ink leaks from his blood and lands on Derm's page.
Science is dead! Derm gains some new words!

KILL

OLD ARCH RIVAL; KILL

[Halloween Speed: 6-3][Easter Speed: 3-3]
[Halloween Strength: 2+2][Easter Dexterity: 1]
The Halloween dragon gives up attacking Beirus when it sees the Easter dragon going past. It chomps on the Easter dragon's tail, chewing it right off!
[Easter Power: 4+2+6][Halloween Dexterity: 6+4, Wisdom: 5+3]
The easter dragon turns around and breaths a pink cloud of gas at the other dragon. The Halloween dragon does a good job of staying away from the cloud, but it's foot gets caught. It resists having it's foot transformed, barely.

Cast summon backup dancers.

[Flimsy Speed: 1-6]
[Flimsy Power: 1+6][Flimsy Power: 1+6]
Images suround Flimsy. Three pumpkin headed screaming men charge with their clubs at three flowery men wielding more clubs and torches, and all of them are dressed in furry candy rags. As they start to fight, they all vanish, though.

Wycarth spawns in the North lower level as Green. ATHATH spawns in the South lower level as Orange.
