[Egan_BW]

We're waiting on egan

on phone.
Action sent.
Again, I hope you're happy.

[syvarris]

This looks like fun. Not much time right now to think of words though. Waitlist?
Someone should tell Syv. He'll probably hate missing this.

I do. D:

Waitlist, please.  I'll figure out specific words and stats after watching a few rounds, to see what's effective.

[Toaster]

Before you ask, compound words like "FireForward" or "WhereI'mPointing" aren't allowed.  Fire Forward would be two words.

Gods be good, Perpleixcon v2. Pretty sure I'm late to the party, but if you have a waitlist I'm in it to win it.

Hey PW, do certain words have different effects based on how you say them? So if I say Fire, then will that summon fire? While if I say fire bullet forward, would that cause it to be shot forward?

Potency 3
Pool 5

Potency refills by an amount equal to the amount left over in the pool at the end of the turn. If a player has 10 potency and uses 7 in one turn, they will refill by 3, up to a total of 6 for the next turn. If the pool is reduced to 0, it recharges by 1. 

Do you mean pool here?  Or do both contribute to spellcasting amounts?

Anyway, wordlist en route

I was just going to make a mind control sword, but screw that.

Random.org says I should target Lurking Wizard


Walk toward Lurking Wizard a bit (less than halfway) point at him and say Surround Target Person Explosive Bees

Run into stairwell and hide.  Cast 'lnfrared Vision(2)'.
Lurkers gotta lurk.

Thrakor points at lurking wizard and yells his spell! A cloud of bees surrounds  Lurking Wizard, buzzing in an angry swarm. Some of them go off like fire crackers, loud and painful but not very dangerous. Others sting him, again, not very dangerous but very annoying.  He runs into the stair well but is too busy flailing like an idiot to cast his own spell.

Drop to the ground, summon organic (2)armour. Put it on. Hope I don't die first

Summon Cloaking (2) Armor

Fullbody Armour (2) Self!
((That's how it works, right?))

Ren drops to the ground and attempts to summon organic, emphasis on ORGANIC, armor. Number comes AFTER the word it is emphasizing. Also, you only have a pool of 3 ya numpty. So it's not "Summon organic armor" just "Organic (2) Armor."

It also fizzles because you rolled a 2. Joy.



Urist attempts to "Summon Cloaking(2) armor" (really need to put these spells in quotes). He gets a brestplate and helmet of some sort of weird semi-visible metal. It's not completely invisible, but it is close, looking like heat haze or something similar.




And good old ED. Lets see. "Fullbody Armor (2) Self"

Fullbody should be full-body but we'll allow it. 

Ed shouts his words and an entire suit of platemail armor, complete with chainmail underbits and leather clothing under that, materializes around him.



At the beginning of next turn the pools are

Everyone except egan:1
Egan: 2

[Toaster]

Worth it.


Run up the west stairs to the third floor and hide!

[Urist Arrhenius]

PM sent. I'll make sure to quote words from now on.

[Egan_BW]

A scream comes from the south stairwell.
"Fucking BEES!"

[Radio Controlled]

((Are there rules in place to prevent words like 'self', 'increase', 'potency', '*any stat*', 'multiply', '*any really high number*', 'speed' (to run away while you power up) and such being used in devious ways?))

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

"Yay! My shit worked!"
((Ah, shiz, just realised I don't have any good 1 word abilities.))
Well, this situation depends, if pool regenerates before any actions, use 'Orbiting Knife', then see if it's possible to pick up the knife and hold it, if pool regenerates after the round, just curl up into a big metal ball.

[renegadelobster]

"Hur de der, how do you magic again?"

Stuff n' things

[Hapah]

((Are there rules in place to prevent words like 'self', 'increase', 'potency', '*any stat*', 'multiply', '*any really high number*', 'speed' (to run away while you power up) and such being used in devious ways?))

I'd imagine it has that sort of scaling like PW introduced for blackhole and similar.

Also HNNNN I want in so bad!

((Are there rules in place to prevent words like 'self', 'increase', 'potency', '*any stat*', 'multiply', '*any really high number*', 'speed' (to run away while you power up) and such being used in devious ways?))

Well, you could certainly try it. But increasing your strength might decrease speed or dex. And increasing potency might cause you to explode. You know, those sorts of things.

Plus I can always just murder Munchkins.

As soon as these guys stop summoning armor and running away from each other!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Run like hell away from everyone else. Find a nice quiet spot somewhere. Then, "Knife"

Actually, everyone does you a favor and runs away from you! Helpful!

You say your word and a steak knife clatters to the ground in front of you.

Run up the stairs as far as I can while still being able to cast a spell.
If the bees are still following me, cast 'Fire Exempt'.
If not, cast 'Infrared Vision'.

If I see Thrakor, Give him a rude gesture.

You sprint up the stairs to the second, then the third floor, taking several steps in each bound. You manage to lose the swarm of bees down below somewhere. As you reach the third floor and catch your breath, you notice Thrakor standing across the room, poking at a corpse. You make a variety of rude gestures at him before casting your own spell.

You feel like someone just flicked you in both eyes OW FUCK OW! You blink the tears away, and find your vision is unchanged. Crap.

Go to second floor and hide.

Hide where exactly, that entire floor is a flat, empty ring. Well, you run upstairs at least.

"Yay! My shit worked!"
((Ah, shiz, just realised I don't have any good 1 word abilities.))
Well, this situation depends, if pool regenerates before any actions, use 'Orbiting Knife', then see if it's possible to pick up the knife and hold it, if pool regenerates after the round, just curl up into a big metal ball.

You activate ball form.

Worth it.


Run up the west stairs to the third floor and hide!

You run all the way up to the third floor and find nowhere to hide. All you actually find is a weird, mummified corpse in wizard robes laying near the stairs. It's clutching a book, but when you pry the tome from the corpse's hands and check it, the pages are all blank.
