Turn 13: Meet Mr. JonesINIT:
AbstractTraitorHero(41)
Whisperling(26)
_DivideByZero_(60+20=80)
Lina(80)
Smarts(5)
Make sure there's nobody else on the floor. Other than that obviously not hostile evil butler robot.
Perception(2)
Lina and her minions spend the turn cleaning up their eyes. Because they can't seem to see.
Awaken and open the gate, bludgeoning Whisperling to death by surprise. Use Pseudo-Crisis to end the Amazon attack.
_DivideByZero_ springs up, awakening from his trance, gaining a +20 bonus to INIT and +1 to all physical rolls for this turn.
He then reaches within himself in a split second, and flips a switch that was off for good reason.
(Eight Gates: Opening Gate:
+4 to all physical rolls due to using the full capabilities of your body, taking it beyond what is normally allowed by your mind.
However, at the end of each turn, you must make a special damage resistance roll due to damaging your body with the power of the Gate.
In addition, after each of those rolls, you gain a -1 stacking penalty to future Eight Gates special damage resistance rolls.
Getting a 3 or 2 on this damage resistance roll results in the gate shutting off, a 1 or lower results in immediate death. All other rolls will have no effect.
After the Gate is turned off, it must cool down for a number of turns equal to the number of turn you were using it for.)
Cast Fist(4+4+1=9) vs. Precognitive Dodge(9+3-1-1=10)
However, as though Whisperling were warned in advance of the attack, he dodged, and succeeded. Barely.
_DivideByZero_ frowned. But, he had something else to do. He exerted his influence on another inner button, a different one than the first. And a crisis was resolved.
1: The crisis is resolved by an even worse crisis destroying the Amazons as a side effect.
2: Crisis resolved.
3: Crisis resolved.
4: Crisis resolved, and _DivideByZero_ gets the Trope Points from Lina.
Luck, Mate(1) ((well shucks.))
Inspiration(Arbitrary Mission Restriction, Circling Birdies, The Cape, A Degree In Useless, Sapient Tank, Psychologist Teacher, Gameplay Roulette)
Doctor Edward Jones was something of an average person before he fell in a vat of magical goo. Now:
He teaches The Study of Uselessness at Obvious University!
He acts as personal psychologist for all of his students!
He can stun anybody with a glance!
And most importantly...
He's physically, mentally, and spiritually invincible!
Now you must defeat him with... diplomacy, logic, reason! Words, not energy blasts, soul snatches...
Or he will stun you all and throw you in jail. Which is game over.
Whoever defeats him will gain 7 Trope Points. Yes. You read right.
Such a pity you can't fight him. Guess you'll have to use diplomacy.
has been added to the game. And he's dealt with all the Amazons.
Roll to come back brah then possess my butler's body.
Return From the Grave(3+2=5)
AbstractTraitorHero grabs hold of life. But she's slipping. (May try again next turn, but without bonus to soul magic)
((Agh, sorry.))
Check my tablet, react accordingly. Focus on avoiding threats- primarily the amazons, but if the tablet mentions anything else...
Done.
