Hurrah! I absolutely didn't expect that to work!

Do get stats too?
Every other kill. So your next kill.

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 12

"About time, the music in the waiting room was killing me."

Let's see what some of these do.
[Wycarth Speed: 2+1]
[Wycarth Wisdom: Auto Fizzle]
Nothing happens.
[Wycarth Power: 3+2]
Part of the ceiling crumbles and a shaft of light comes down, revealing a mostly-blue sky; the hole is far too small for anyone, even Beirus to get through.
[Wycarth Power: 1+2]
Nothing happens.

Quote from: Halloween Dragon
My Holliday's the best!
Quote from: Easter Dragon
Yours is corrupt!
[Easter Speed: 6-3][Halloween Speed: 5-3]
[Easter Strength: 2+4][Halloween Dex: 5+4]
Easter tries to use it's clawys to tear into Halloween's flesh, but Halloween glides out of the way.
[Halloween Strength: 4+2][Easter Dexterity: 1]
Halloween rends Easter's wings from it's back! the Easter dragon starts bleeding chocolate.

I'll be taking that page.
Yay, things.
[Vearan Speed: 2-4][Beirus Speed: 1-6]
Vearan starts to head towards the site of Roary's death to loot his page, but notices Beirus heading his way. He still has one foot on his casting circle and casts his words.
[Vearan Power: 2+2+(0+0)][Beirus Dexterity: 2+6]
Another airborn wave of steel is launched in Beirus's direction, but he flies over it.
[Vearan Power: 4+2+(-2+0)][Beirus Dexterity: 2+6]
A heavy ingot of steel follows, but Beirus dives under it.
[Beirus Strength: 6-6][Vearan Dexterity: 4+4][Beirus Dexterity: 2+6][Vearan Dexterity: 2+4]
Beirus fails to grab Vearan's face landing on the casting circle just past Vearan, but he succesfully wraps his tail around him.
[Beirus Power: 4+4][Vearan Wisdom: 3]
The spell succesfully crushes Vearan's body into a pulp. He gasps, coughs up some blood, and his head and limbs fall into a pile. Some ink passes to Beirus's page.
Vearan is Dead! Beirus gains some new words!

Ah. Hum.

Research time!
That was a terrible dance. I am never hiring barbarians again.
[Derm Speed: 3-6][Flimsy Speed: (Auto slower from Assist)]
[Derm Power: 2+3]
A large wheel of mozza cheese appears.
[Derm Wisdom: 6]
At first nothing happens. You call down to Flimsy to let him know, but the words coming out of your mouth have a melodious rythm to them, as if you were singing.
To be clear, you each cast the word once more.
[Derm Wisdom: 6][Flimsy Wisdom: 3+6]
Again, nothing happens until you start talking. You both sing a wonderous duet, discussing strategy and dances. Flimsy breaks out in a jig to celebrate.
This seems pretty clear, so Derm moves on to the next test.
[Derm Power: 6+3](DM Note: REALLY? 3 6s in a row?)
You feel connected to the stairs. That's unclear, so you climb over the obsidian barrier onto the floor proper, grab a nearby easter-vine-covered-statue for target testing purposes and cast it again.
[Derm Power: 2+3]
You feel connected to the floor around you in a smaller radius than the connection to the stairs. You don't feel connected to the statue or vines at all. You shout down to Flimsy, who's still dancing, to try it as well.
[Flimsy Power: 3+6]
Flimsy feels the floor under his feet quite clearly. It's distinctly a larger area than Derm felt either time.
Satisfied, you cast your last word.
[Derm Power: 3+3][Derm Dexterity: 2+6]
*whispers*


Say each of my first seven words individually.
[ATHATH Speed: 1-6]
[ATHATH Power: 5+4]
A swirl of dark clouds appears above you, and a split second later lightning jumps between the clouds and gets you wet. After a moment, the clouds leak through the crack that Wycarth put in the ceiling.
[ATHATH Power: 3+4]
An image of an eyball appears, then vanishes.
[ATHATH Power: 1+4]
Your right foot tingles.
[ATHATH Power: 3+4]
Your left hand tingles slightly more intensely.
[ATHATH Power: 4+4]
Some sparks spit out of your mouth and swirl about in very fancy patterns. They fail to do much of anything but look fancy, then vanish.
[ATHATH Wisdom: 5+4]
Nothing happens.
[ATHATH Wisdom: 2+4]
You feel guilty for what you have done in the past. What brought you here. The lives you took in your past life.

Thrakor spawns as Yellow on the upper story northeast!

Yup, sadly. Fun fact: For it, I roll 2 fudge die for standard spell, or double that if a spell include a steel word. You rolled "- - - +" for that spell.

You get his pages, but not his kills.

Aw...you'd still have all your old words AND some new ones if you respawned...
