Sub-Turn 10: Premature End of the World ? (part 1)
LuxRally all the world agasint this menance use the determination to survive to restore me to full energy and Ether.
Use "determination" : [6] > [2]
You increase your determination to its peak, and you feel your Energy reserves recovering... but your Ether is burning away. You are converting your Ether into Energy.
You recover all your Energy and lose 200 Ether Then you send a rallying call to the species of the World. Together, everyone must fight against whatever is emanating from the Rift... But what could mere mortals do against this, when they couldn't even harm a single god ?
Rally roll : [3]
Your call isn't answered positively by everyone. [No secondary over-roll here, would be too complicated]

He Who Flies Through The Darkness, Aloft On Dragon's Wings, Seeking To Bring Beginnings and EndsHe Who Flies Through The Darkness, Aloft On Dragon's Wings, Seeking To Bring Beginnings and Ends was at a loss for comprehension of what just happened.
"stupid. Stupid me. Creating parallel dimensions is a very bad idea. Of all the things I thought might cause this world's end... my own action was not one of them."
He Who Flies Through The Darkness, Aloft On Dragon's Wings, He Who Has Brought The End of All Things wept for the potential premature ending of the world. Stupid him. He promptly gathered the tiny remnants of his energy and teleported away. As far as he could go without straining his true form.
Secret Action :You are completely exhausted of your Energy. As you begin to recover some of it, Saraab suddenly appears before you.
Saraab loses 5000 EnergyHe creates a temporary shield and lance out of its Divine Energy, wielding them like a warlord.
He Who Flies Through The Darkness, Aloft On Dragon's Wings, Seeking To Bring Beginnings and Ends: [2]
Saraab: [5]+1
Suddenly he binds you with Divine Energy. You are helpless and unable to move. He says :
This world would be better off with you gone. You are a parasite, but you are my sibling. I will give you the chance to help us did this problem, but if you aren't here to help us, then I will use the remainder of your ether to save this world.Then with the pulsing divine lance, Saraab impales your True Form. Without Energy, you are left totally helpless. If it keep going, you won't last another ten seconds... He is going to kill you and steal your Ether.
He Who Flies Through The Darkness, Aloft On Dragon's Wings, Seeking To Bring Beginnings and Ends is
Dying[Considering the rolls and the situation, if Saraab decides to continue on, He Who Flies Through The Darkness, Aloft On Dragon's Wings, Seeking To Bring Beginnings and Ends will automatically die.]
Gasnareth ImrepRealizing something far worse than his portal had been done by someone, Gasnareth imrep thinks quickly and comes up with two Possible Solutions...
By creating a hardblock for all magic that attempts to stablize the laws of phisics, Mortals could be used to hold that rift shut semi Temperarily, Pros: near infinite reuseability, Cons: May be forgotten about while we are sleeping, must be strong enough to suppress US when WE try to change the laws at a MINIMUM.
in better terms:Everygod Spends all their Energy & Ether to help close it, while Consuming Matter in massive amounts.[no Pros or Cons]
He then decides to attempt the first of the two useing any of Fredegar's Ains that still haven't learnt any magic and any Troongs he can find, Knowing They will rember how to use it...
New Magic LawGasnareth Imrep loses 2000 Energy and 200 Ether. You don't have enough Ether. You can't create a new law, you lack Ether. No Energy or Ether was lost.
Kahn retrieve the heretic's and put them on trial
Secret Action :As you prepare to move, the Pelagic suddenly charges at you.
Pelagic: [4]
Kahn: [2]
The Pelagic stabs you with the strange spear in your back, and twist the wound even further. His strength...is by no mean mortal.
[2] It dawns upon you : this Pelagic is either strengthened by a God, or a God himself. But who ?!
Too late to react though. The spear stroke your True Form in a vital part. This attack is thousand more stronger than the first one.
Kahn bleeds 10000 EnergyKahn is
Critically Wounded
ProeliorProelior comes out of his pocket dimension, feeling the ridiculous amounts of energy that have just appeared. Fly over to the Dark Palace. Spread my wings and aim at the Palace. Or the Rift. Whichever is more likely to be the cause of the problem. Prepare all the weapons! ALL OF THEM!
Fate Roll : [5]
Proelior suddenly appears out of his "pocket dimension". Actually, it is more like his pocket dimension was forcefully drew back into the initial dimension. He is unharmed and well, but still in a weaker divine form compared to everyone else.
He spreads his wings and draw all his weapons, heading for the Rift.
FredegarFredegar and the Holy Beards try to close the portal by using Holyism while BeardAlon and his Kings Candidate go looking for the Dark Bearded Magi because they think it's got something to do with him.
((I atleast wanna watch the outcome of the two magi before the world ends))
Fredegar and his Holy Beards : [4]
Using "Holyism", you attempt to close the Rift. It initially doesn't work at all, until you accidentally consume Ether to try to close it.
You lose 3000 EnergyYou lose 50 Ether+Rift is a tidbit smaller
VorenaakSneak out of the dimension. Look for another one to enter.
Dimensional Escape Roll : [2]
Vorenaak loses 5000 EnergyYou attempt to open a portal to another dimension, can you even do this ? You feel the boundaries of the world, there is a veil separating everything from the elsewhere.
You breach one of these boundaries -Oh-. The veil...seems to be made of Ether. What does it mean ?...
You exited the dimension you were in... and arrived...nowhere.
It feels like you exited a bubble, just to arrive in the sea. The bubble shell was protecting you from what was in the sea, and now it isn't anymore...
There is nothing. You are nothing. There are no laws. Everything you knew doesn't even exist here. An infinite emptiness...
And a voice.
"NONE CAN ESCAPE US.
NONE CAN ESCAPE FATE."Saving Roll : [2]
An infinite force, like if the whole universe collapsed on you crushes your existence. You don't even have time to react, and what you were is already gone.
Vorenaak vanished from existence.
WORLD ACTIONS :
The Decimarch :The Sun/Moon suddenly emits a black light. Meanwhile, inside it, a voice echoes :
"DIMENSIONAL ETHER BARRIER BREACH DETECTED.
COUNTERMEASURE SYSTEMS FAILED.
ACTIVATING THE DECIMARCH."The gigantic Sun/Moon cracks open, and a being comes out from it.
Titanic, radiating with all powerful might. Its body is cloven in two, and is overall as big as the Sun/Moon. Each Halves harbor six wings and sport ten arms and a two heads. The halves are connected on the lower part of the body.
The being immediately teleports to the Rift.
Decimarch Roll : [3]
With its twenty hands, it grabs both sides of the rift and try to close it by force. The Rift sides can be seen moving inward a little, but not by a large margin...
+Rift is a tidbit smaller, but still pretty largeAme :Ame awakens and send a message to all :
"There is no time to explain, but this Rift must be closed ! Only Ether will have an effect on the Rift now that they penetrated the Ether Barrier !"Ame appears next to the Decimarch and sublimates its Ether, making it shines with a blinding light. It attempt to chase the "things" away, but...
Ame Roll : [1] > [4]
"FOOLISH PARASITE.
WE LET YOUR KIN GO ONCE.
ALL YOUR DREAMS WILL END."A huge invisible mass of something emerges from the Rift. It looks as if the space is twisting strangely around it, giving away its presence. It suddenly crushes Ame, whose True Form is still radiating with Ether.
At first it seems like Ame got eradicated, but the burning Ether explodes and sears the invisible mass. The Rift closes further.
"YOU AND YOUR TOXIC ETHER...FOOLS.
STILL TRYING TO RESIST.
DESPITE KNOWING WHAT WE ARE ?"Ame is Badly Wounded
The Rift is smaller, about halfway through.Cosmic Entity Roll : [1] > [5]
Something attempts to open the Rift further, and more of the invisible thing pours out of the Rift.
But the ground all around the World, from the Mainland to the other unexplored side of the concave World breaks and cracks open. Suddenly streams of Ether come out from the fissures, and fires themselves toward the Rift.
The invisible substance and the golden Ether clash in an explosion that annihilates the whole Black Desert. The invisible substance is sent back into the Rift, but once the light dims down... Everyone realizes the Rift grew bigger, taking advantage of a moment of weakness from the World.
Rift is larger. Still smaller than initially.
