Turn 44a : Everyone bar Ulkas, Caedan and SnehkRetconned because of GM mistake
Stormslayer the Aradian Mirage Beetle Herothere's two of them, and two of us. I strike at the tailed demon, trying to bit off it's tail and free guard-kin up to strike at the clawed one. If I can, I also try to pin the tailed demon and Mindwipe them.
[Spin to win]
[2] vs [6] You try to strike at the tailed demon, but it is far swifter than you expected. He dodges your attack with style, laughing at your laughable attempt. But he spins a bit too much and...
[1] The clawed tail ends up beheading the other demon. Woops. ((this guy killed nearly all other demons by himself, he deserves a medal or something))
Guard-Kin Roll :[1] Guard-Kin attempts to move, but his wounds are too serious. Internal bleeding and nervous damage is rendering him immobile. He passes out, between life and death.
Ranged Demon Roll :[4] The ranged demon manages to stand back up despite its wounds.[/size][/s]
Squishy the Great Earth Mana WispHah, the fool. He touched me. I can now use my ability to transfer mana to transfer all of his mana to me quickly, at the same time using absorb to quickly drain his HP. I will then attempt to transfer a small amount of mana to the Dikaios knights, in hopes that they use their magical "Get a 5 against monsters every round" ability that they seemed to use when I was trying to break out.
[Mana arm-wrestling]
[3] vs [5] "I can't die like this" you think faintly, but strongly enough to regain control. Using your mana transfer ability, you begin transferring the Unit 0 mana back to you. Yes, you feel like you are gaining the upper hand, it's like overpowering someone in arm wrestling.
But at the last second, when you are close to the point of completely recovering your mana, a sudden shift in the flow reverses the mana transfer. The Unit 0 is taking back all of its mana, and you can't manage to resist !
You have the feeling you can hear some kind of mocking laugh from it.
The darkness again. It is wrapping around you. And the eye. The dreadful eye. It is enjoying your struggle. Your fear.
You progressively feel your last forces being sapped away.
Even the eye is disappearing in the darkness. Soon, even the eye has melded into the dark void.
[2] You try to struggle one last time, to no avail. You have no force left anymore...
You lose your remaining HP.
You are dead.
((and the knights will quickly follow))
ZoomochScoomtarto the Three-Eyed Beholderwhen I waken, I think I will take a trip to the local Dwarven Fortress; If I recall correctly it was known as ShieldDawn... Now if I only knew how dwarves came up with names like that.
[No dwarves]
[4] When you wake up, you feel in top shape. You really needed some rest after such a hectic day.
You decide to take a trip to the local "Dwarven Fortress", Shielddawn. Zigzagging in the many tunnels and corridors of the underground, you eventually reach the location. An old decrepit underground complex, built who knows how many times ago by a forgotten civilization.
You call it the Dwarven Fortress, Shielddawn. Why ? Because you liked how it sounded.
Dahak the Uncanny Unreasonably Spooky Scary SkeletonOh goddamnit, since when does she get all the action? Who the hell does she think she is >:v! I DIED because of that thing once already, and now it has a humanoid shape! That means it has a neck now! A NECK I CAN BREAK maybe
Dahak is forced to conform to his current activity: contacting dead old people while a tiny fairy fights in his stead. Not the manliest activity in his unlife, he would say.
Dahak resolves to never write about this in his future memoirs.
Whatever, gotta focus and contact the old man, she didn't seem all that great after all the action we got today, I better get some answers about that thing from Morvad and lend her a spooky bony hand
ACTUALY TRY TO FOCUS THIS TIME and contact Morvad, tell him there's no time to be chatting about unlife's developments and being awesome, and inquire him on the otherwordly being, mentioning the fact it somehow managed to cross the portal and stay in one piece.
[Deja Vu intensifies]
[1] ((feeling of deja vu)) You focus to restore the transmission, pouring all your knowledge and efforts into it. Re-adjusting rune calibers, mana levels...nothing seems to work !
Then all of a sudden, the transmission cut off and the ritual stops. You are really pissed.
Delinde Roll : [2]
Delinde removes her mask, revealing a surprisingly human face. Her skin is white as snow, but her eyeballs are black instead of white. Her irises are white.
She also takes her hood off, revealing silvery hairs tied in a ponytail. She activates her skill, Servant of Thanatos.
But nothing happens.
"Damn it !... Did I use up all my mana already ?!..."Humanoid roll : [4] vs [6]
The humanoid is struggling with the Fog Reaper. The black muddy hand is grabbing the gray foggy handle with force, but the Fog Reaper decides to make his scythe disappear. But as a result, it is now weaponless. The humanoid strikes at the Fog Reaper with a back hand strike, sending it two meters backward.
Grey the Metaldee"Neat! The world outside the castle is full of so much wonder. Let's go check it out."
Go check out the fire. Be full of awe and naive wonder at the world around me.
[Pretty light]
[2] You head toward the mysterious fire, all the while in absolute awe in face of the world many wonders. You are like a young blob seeing food for the first time.
The flickering light is moving and going away. You keep following it though, not really realizing it is taking you farther than expected...
[4] Brown stops you.
"Hey, don't you think it's strange ? The light seems to be moving away from us."Then a laugh is heard, and something appears behind you.
"Well well, you took your time noticing this..."
Glint the Elemental ArcanivoreAssuming the monster won't be coming back soon, go pick up Vagush, digging him out if need be. Then scram. Join up with the blobs if we see them and they don't seem to mind.
[Gone, for now]
[3] You wait a moment after the monster disappears from your line of sight. It is still close, but far enough for you to go save Vagush, you hope. You partially excavate him, and he is grateful for you coming back.
"To be fair I thought you would have fled after seeing me utterly curbstomped. I'm really grateful."Vagush Roll : [2]
Vagush is stuck, and can't move an inch. You will need to put in more effort to take him out of the hole.
The Ashen the Crimson Wraith Yep, this is no good. Break myself in half, and have the both of us retreat in opposite directions!
[Split tactic]
[4] You break yourself in half, disorienting the creature by going in opposite directions. The being is confused and not moving out of wariness.
Monsters :Name : The Ashen
Species : Charred Wraith
Appearance : A blackened and ashy being, with small fissures of embers lining all along the vines. They can possess others, and those possessed have slightly glowing, fiery eyes.

Traits :
Possess- Attach yourself upon a victim, and take control of his functions. Currently imperfect, making one shamble, as he attempts to resist.
Flare- The embers flare, burning those nearby with scorching heat.
Smoky- The Wraith is always exuding smoke, obscuring where it is.
Skills :
Black Ink- Exude a viscous black fluid, that make one hard to grab. Can throw the stuff in the eyes, blinding an opponent.
Pilot Bones- Can now pilot the dead, allowing for a constant, if inferior host, due to dead weight and no assistance in running the body.
Twin Host- Can now possess two people, and combine them into one double host, if necessary.
Name: Shiny
Species : Great Earth Mana Wisp -stage 4-
Appearance: The amorphous form of the Mana Amorphoid has evaporated into what appears to be a cloud of pure, concentrated mana. It's pwetty!. It levitates gently above the ground, and the air around him crackles with potential. He can adeptly focus magical energy and cast Earth-based magic.

INT 0 -Intelligence : increase your ability to submit others to your will-
IND 0 -Individuality : increase your ability to resist to others will-
note : attributes are just some kind of "indicative" property, their are no specific formulas or calculation behind them. (yet?)
Traits :
Magical: The Mana Slime is naturally talented at magical things.
Manastatic Field: The area around the shard pulses with magical energy. Nearing the shard drains the mana of creatures.
Earth Elemental: The being is aligned with the Earth element. It can absorb the elemental energy of earth-aligned crystals to supply its mana, and also cast Earth based magic.
Ethereal: Physical attacks against this being might not prove so useful, but that also means that it cannot physically attack others.
Skills :
Transfer Mana: Can release small parts of its inner energy, transferring this energy to its allies. It can also attempt to overload the systems of another mana-using enemy.
Focus mana: The shardling can now manipulate the condensed mana it is made of, breaking down itself if it needs more mana, and using extra mana in the environment to build itself back up.
Mana Spark : You can turn mana into a unstable and damaging electricity current.
Mana Shove : Uses magical energy to push a being around. The push can be very weak or very strong. Pushing an enemy into an inanimate object would obviously cause damage.
Elemental Crystal Resonance : allow you to manipulate elemental crystals state to make them detonate, or prevent them from detonating.
Mana Disruptive Wave: The Mana Amorphoid can now release a large wave of mana which disrupts all mana-using beings in the area. Human mages will be temporarily unable to use mana, and mana crystals underground will probably explode.
Absorb: The Mana Wisp can quickly drain the life energy of those around it and convert it into pure mana. It works better upon a single individual, but can be done against a crowd at a lower efficiency.
Name: Stormslayer, so called for slaying a dangerous Storm Ravager.

Distort: disorients and confuses a target, making them more vulnerable to mindwiping, but also making them act erratically.
Adrenaline Rush : this near-death experience gave you a new skill. When your HP falls at critical levels, you get an extreme boost of power as you feel death closing in.

Calcifying Venom: Bites will gradually turn the victim into a pearly statue.

>Abnormality from Another Plane : because of its connection with the "Corruptor World", Dahak's very presence can and will cause strange phenomenons. If Dahak rolls a [1] or a [6], rolls from anything close to Dahak will get reduced or increased by 1.
-If a [1] is decreased by 1, it will become a [6], if a [6] is increased by 1, it will become a [1].
-another unaffected roll will be done by the GM, to determine what will appear or happen because of Dahak connection...
