Turn 6: Hurry Up And Finish Abstract AlreadyINIT:
_DivideByZero_(2 (lolwat))
KingMurdoc(50)
AbstractTraitorHero(54)
Whisperling(25)
Have my stormtroopers come downstairs and tackle my opponent use my soul powers to fire out a massive arena spanning soul destroying pulse.
"I hate it when they gang up on the great ones."
Mass Tackle(2-1=1) vs. Precognition Aided Dodge(8-1+3=10)
AbstractTraitorHero's stormtroopers charge downstairs... then Whisperling glares at them.
"Your troopers can't protect you..." I mean, really, really, glares. Like, Death Glare.
And they topple onto each other in a heap. Ho boy.
Soul Bomb(8-2+3+2=11)
In a last-ditch effort, Abstract throws his/her power into a sphere, then detonates it across the arena. Though it's more lacking when it reaches the second floor, it's still somewhat effective. Unfortunately, it's somewhat diluted by being spread out so much... but...
Whisperling's Soul Resistance(9-3(proximity)-2(willpower)=4)
Magic Penguins' Soul Resistance(3-3(proximity)=0)
_DivideByZero_'s Soul Resistance(4-1+1(distance)=4)
KingMurdoc's Soul Resistance(8+1(distance)=9)
Stormtroopers' Soul Resistance(9+1(distance)-1=9)
Whisperling shudders, his soul rent asunder, not yet dead. (major soul damage, -2 to willpower, max cooldown of all abilities with cooldown increased by one, -3 to all actions this turn because soul pain)
Interestingly, _DivideByZero_ feels the exact same way. (major soul damage, -2 to willpower, max cooldown of all abilities with cooldown increased by one, -3 to all actions this turn because soul pain)
KingMurdoc and the Stormtroopers didn't even notice, however. Mostly. (soul ache, -1 to next willpower roll each)
The penguins took it worst of all. Their souls shattered and they died instantly. And their bodies crumbled to ash.
Also shoot ATH.
Bam, Bam!(
vs. Get out of the way(5-1-3=1)
BURN!(5) vs. Resist da BURN!(7-3=4)
KingMurdoc charged downstairs, firing a laser bolt which struck AbstractTraitorHero right on his/her burns. It didn't do much damage, but it did disrupt his/her focus. (-2 to willpower next turn)
Your troopers can't protect you, your magic's awfully weak
Everyone's ganging up on you, and there's no way to heal
But I'm the closest, I hit hardest, and my penguins are unmatched!
We'll kill you first, and grab the points, and snowball to the end!
Make sure my minions and I have precognition-aided aiming and dodging up and running, then the penguins join me in slaughtering ATH.
Minions? What minions? In any case,
Whisperling got to work himself.
Beatdown(9+3(PRECOG)-3(SOULPAIN)=9) vs ROLL!(2-1-3=-2)
CRUSH!(7-3(SOULPAIN)=4) vs. Resist CRUSH!(7-1-2=4)
This impact aggravated Abstract's wound even more, but didn't do much else. Actually, compared to what she already felt, it barely tickled.
This is a pointless turn sink, shooting at those guys.
Go downstairs, shouting "Cover me!" heroically while taking shots at Abstract's glowing soul-empowered self.
Heroic LAZOR(5-2(SOULPAIN)-1=2) vs. Dodge?(2-1-3=-2)
_DivideByZero_ charged downstairs, and fired off a laser pulse, which, though it hit the ceiling, hit a reflective part of it which bounced it onto Abstract.
burN!(6-3(SOULPAIN)-1=2) vs. Resist(4-1-2=1)
The pulse struck AbstractTraitorHero... giving her a minor tinge of pain on her right leg.
(right leg minor pain, -1 to dodge next turn)

[Tier 1(MAX), Active]: Pseudo Crisis: As it turns out, the crisis you were just in wasn't actually a problem at all. You instantly resolve one crisis you are currently in when you use this ability. This ability can only be used once, however.

[Tier 1, Passive]: Mobile Fishbowl: You are a naturally aquatic organism. Thankfully, you have a special helmet that contains water and thus keeps you from drowning in air. Also, you get +4 to aquatic mobility.
[Tier 1, Passive]: Skate Heaven Is A Place On Earth: While you are alive, the arena will be naturally suited for skateboarding, giving everybody who skateboards within it a +3 to their skateboarding roll. And you start play with a skateboard.

[Tier 1, Active]: "I Am Great!" Song: You(plus your chorus of magical penguins) sing a song about how great you are... which has no benefit other than fueling your narcissism. 6(5+1) turn cooldown. IN PROGRESS!

[Tier 1, Passive]: Not-So-Phony Psychic: You may locate spirits and put them to rest... or rather turn them into bloodthirsty spirit monster things. But you don't know that part.
