((Looks like I really am the Lord of Undeath. I see three possible explanations for my survival. 1. Death is done with my revival bullshit and no longer wants me. 2. Recovering from deadly wounds is one of the boons of becoming the Ladlemonger. 3. It's the work of my now broken armor.))

"The Ladlemonger has arrived! I have vanquished the roc!"

Go inside the building and look for the one they call O'Greenahan. Should I notice something hostile (which would mean the lighting spiders and the spotters that Beirus mentioned) - let it feel the wrath of Caladlebolg. If I see something weird - throw a ladle at it and apply Caladlebolg if it proves necessary. But before doing any of that, cast "12 otrm".

((Series of short jumps around the plaza would probably kill everything. Is it possible to change orientation during jump so most of high-energy particles are aimed to specific direction?))

Broadcast with speakers if I have external ones, use radio if not: "Greetings, Ao Shi is back. I see party started while I was getting the big guns. Now let's pull the plug from these party lights!"

Start shooting strobes with the turret. If Red can assist with targeting (Bio scan) to measurable degree, then use it too. Objective is to eliminate as many strobes as possible to give soldiers better change to see actual enemy.

"I... I... yes. A first aid kit would be wonderful right now."

James pauses for a moment, then gathers up several wolf head shards. His employers might find them interesting. Afterwards, he follows his handler's guidance to find a first aid kit.

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

((It's aimed in the direction you're jumping in.))
((You could jump say west then jump further west and jump east into the previous blast creating the effect of turning 180 during the first jump but that is taxing on the envelope (which is bad) and requires successful entry of the jump macro (which if you fuck up is very very bad). So if you want to play a game of particle-deathray-tennis go ahead but it would be ill advised most of the time.))

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

((Actually, Corsair, the second westerly jump would scoop up and reaccelerate the initial blast. It isn't a teleport, it just compresses space in front of it, which has the side-effect of scooping up and accelerating matter in front of it.

Plus even if you could, you'd have another westerly blast from the second jump which you'd have to to race and recapture, and so on, until you have a Ponzi Scheme that involves superluminal mechs and spontaneous death rays, which I don't think many consumer-protection agencies will be happy about.))

((AFAIK it isn't covered in the rules and was an option in perplexicon so sure, if only to magnify your potential to fuck up  :P))
NB: Co-operative casting does require certain materials.

((True, perhaps by chaining multiple jumps of 1 degree off previous direction to make a circle? Problem is that you would need so many that you would have a blast of frankly ludicrous proportions by the end; approximately 77.4 PetaJoules or 1228 times more powerful than little boy.))

((So I could write a macro to make a double jump in direction the frame is moving, which upon activation causes a lot of radiation and damage in the end point? Sounds something I might want to do later.))

((You could just do one longer jump and that'd have the same effect. I mean, whenever you jump you will be messing up whatever's in the direction you're jumping in, it's just a matter of how much.))

"I'm good with hearing both, I like stealth, but I'm not entirely against running in swinging this sword wildly, provided you have an ok plan for it. Hey, got to be some perks to near immortality... right?"

"Well...it's not a PLAN, per se, just an idea, but if what you've given me is more or less accurate, I'm thinking we could try a rather big spell, 12 f1 a8, to be precise."

"It could either kill us all or just kill them, but it'd probably do the trick."

((I'm pretty sure the result will be hilariously horrifying and probably has a greater chance of killing everyone instead of everyone-who-isn't-us, but we should do it, just for the sheer horror.))
