Touch my attaker's face (or if that fails, then anywhere on their body), then try to perform the Midas touch by saying my word.
Grab Robert's throat by one hand and then put the weight of my body on that hand. Use the other hand to punch Robert's teeth in.
(Robert speed: 1)
(Khaziraad speed: 4+3)
(Khaziraad Thermite Endurance: 6+3-2)
(Khaziraad strength: 1+4)
(Robert Endurance: 2-1)
Khaziraad adjusts his grip from Robert's face to his neck, and presses down. Robert's face starts to go blue.
(Choking: Dies next turn if he can't get air)
(Khaziraad strength: 5+4)
(Robert Dodge: 3+1)
(Robert Endurance: 3-1)
Robert's disadvantageous position means that Khaziraad has an easy time punching him in the face, shutting up Robert and interupting his word!
Crap, not as planned. Two word spell and a single word spell.
(Steve Potential: 4+1)
Pale white smoke appears and soaks into Steve's mangled hand. It flashes, and Steve winces, but when he looks at his hand, it is no longer venting steam. All the leaks have been patched up, and many mechanical bits have been replaced with much more intricate mechanical bits. Though it remains largely mechanical and jointed, it is also more solid, and there are new parts, fluid filled bulbs of skin with a couple nerves inside that cause the hand to light up brightly in flouresent red and jellyfish pink.
(Neon left hand: +1 Aim, -1 Endurance, -1 Strength, light source), (No longer bleeding)
Thankful that the transformation didn't hurt as much as the first time, he says a word for science.
(Steve Potential: 5+1)
Pale white smoke appears and creates a small shape, like a really long centipede with dragonfly wings and mantis arms. The smoke disipates into nothing.
Check out the water, how high is water pressure there? Pleasant to dive in? Life forms visible?
Then the science: four one word spells.
Sticking a hand into the water, it's cool but not cold. It's pleasant enough, not very silty, and you don't feel uncomfortable in it. The pressure is slightly heavier than air, enough that you'd probably float in it, but not deep-ocean pressures.
You suppress a laugh as a clownfish swims up and sniffs at your fingers, tickling them, and you can see more fish further in, even an eel and a couple tiny reef sharks.
(Dr. Wilde Potential: 4+2)
Dr. Wilde feels a disturbance in the ground beneath him.
(Dr. Wilde Potential: 1+3)
Daniel falls into a trance, dreaming of the ancient streets of Victorian Londan in the days of steam powered mechanoids. He wakes up quickly.
(Dr. Wilde Potential: 2+2)
Again, Dr. Wilde falls into a trance, but he finds himself in a foggy graveyard, his flesh rotting, himself half-burried in a grave. His fellow ghouls are in various states of decay and climbing out of their graves. He wakes up and is relieved to find he's not a zombie.
(Dr. Wilde Potential: 2+3)
Daniel feels his skin toughen, for a moment, before it reverts to it's ordinary state.
Go away from everyone else for a moment and say 4-word spell. Imagine a Styrofoam ladle that turns anything in front of it into a broken mess of Styrofoam.
Observe the result, take it from the back end, and test it on some of the fast gold ingots we have lying around. If it works correctly, position it on the top step of the downwards stairs so that it effects anyone who comes up.
Keep on guarding feel free to do stuff that looks greatly amusing.
Two words, said individually.
Run downstairs, charge at and bowl over the nearest group of contestants.
(David speed: 5-1)
(Owain speed: 2)
(Johnsmith speed: 4+1)
(Corky speed: 3+2)
(Tiebreaker (Corky/John): 1v2)
(Johnsmith potential: 3)
Some rainbow smoke appears, and starts building up into a collumn. It forms a point at the top, and materializes fins to stand on, like a rocket. As it starts gaining more definition, an alcove appears in the surface of the rocket, with two computer monitors on the wall of the alcove. Within the alcove is some burning incsense, which you assume would smell nice if it weren't an illusion of magic, and an animatronic ape. There are also other animatronic apes clinging to the outside of the rocket, pounding their fists on the outside.
The smoke disipates into nothing.
(Johnsmith potential: 2+1)
The pale white smoke appears and flashes, and a small lump of some pale silvery metal materialized. It drops onto the ground while it smokes, and while it bends when it hits the ground like it was soft, it quickly changes color and gets more rigid, and starts spitting off sparks. Johnsmith kicks it away, and his shoe catches fire.
(Corky Strength: 6+2)
(Owain Strength: 4+2)
Corky heads down the stairs, and charges the group. Owain steps out to intercept, and tries to initiate a grapple. The two grab eachother's shoulders, and try to force eachother to the ground.
Neither are very succesful, but Owain finds himself being forced backwards.
(David Potential: 3+3)
The wall in front of David warps, and starts spitting out rainbow smoke. The smoke swirls around, and soaks back into the wall.
After a few seconds, a portion of the wall the size of a person but the shape of a ladel flashes, and a giant ladel big enough that you could sit in the bowl-part falls out of the wall. The wall itself starts to regenerate, but the empty space is full of blue smoke which shortly follows the styrofoam ladel and soaks into it.
The ladel briefly starts to make noises, like a confused british man, but flashes again, and the handle (which is as big across and David's head) starts glowing blue, while green lines trace along it's surface. The ladle wiggles a bit like it's trying to move on it's own, but doesn't succesfully do anything.
(David Strength: 1-1)
David can't pick up the ladel, and doesn't manage to push it anywhere. He does manage to break off a bit, and that bit stops glowing, but it doesn't budge.
He starts stacking fast gold ingots in, on, and around it, but it doesn't seem to be changing any of them into anything.
Word and then Word. Point down the stairs.
(Thrakor Potential: 3+1)
Pale white smoke appears and forms wings. The shape flaps around in circles long enough before it disipates for you to identify it as a bat.
(Thrakor Potential: 5)
Thrakor falls asleep. In his dreams he's in a dimly lit arena, much unlike this one in the waking world, fog machines spewing artificial smoke everywhere, brightly colored foam walls and waist-high barricades hiding numerous gun-toting combatants behind them. Several rubber-tipped foam projectiles wiz by his head and he ducks behind cover, picking up some foam darts off the ground and loading them into his own weapon to fire back... He wakes up a little confused about what just happened.
More research needed. 2 separate Words.
(Redz Potential: 2+1)
Some pale white smoke pours onto the ground, and flashes into a puddle of clear shimmering liquid. The smell of it makes Redz a bit light headed.
(Redz Potential: 6+1)
Pale white smoke rises up and takes the shape of a large monitor lizard. It sticks it's tongue out at Redz and disipates.
