I'm still interested.

[Dermonster]

You guys still feeling this game? Just making sure since I'm closing a few games and replacing them so if you guys want to try other things, its a good time to shutter this game. But if you're still up for it, I'm game too.

I guess I'm still down for it, but I'm kinda starting to realize the way I like to play games and your style of GMing dont quite line up right.

I think its the game more than the GM style. Try the genetics game thats coming up. It should allow all the chaotic murder and mutation you can handle.

Alright, I'll hit this and cabal up with updates soon. Have to do some studying of physics now.

[syvarris]

((I like this game (surprise surprise), though I do think the last little stretch with the kid golems has been somewhat poor.  Lot of time spent with nobody doing much.))

[Devastator]

((I was delaying because I thought they were indestructable.  Eventually I probably would have tried to talk him into letting us get close.))

Partially due to the character of the wizard in question.

Marcus, what are you attacking with? Its important.

[Devastator]

... Is it sharp weapons they're immune to?

[Dermonster]

Marcus, what are you attacking with? Its important.

Let's go with the gun.

[Beirus]

((Seems like their defense mechanism is the vibration, which happens to be effective against thin pieces of material like blades compared to thicker pieces used for blunt weapons because of how the vibration transfers. Or that blunt force is more effective in general.))

Gonna assume the big revolver, out of your two choices of things to shoot. [8][5]

Marcus pulls out his oversized revolver and takes a single good shot at the headless child. The bullet pierces dead center through the child's back and blows out through his chest like a grenade. The child stands there for a moment, frozen, before it tumbles over and breaks like fragile china.  Alanna follows suit, putting a round straight into the remaining child's pelvis. Its lower body shatters but its upper body continues to crawl forward on its remaining arm.

Duck out of the ring and stab one of the standing children through the heart.

There are no standing children anymore, so you charge the one on the ground. You heft your blade up and stab it down at the grounded monster. The blade hits right between its shoulder blades and a shower of sparks erupts. Your blade screeches in protest, the metal twisting and being rent apart before the tip of the blade shatters into pieces

"FLEYSHIUS!  SAVE ME!"

Sigh will happily take Marcus' advice and flee like mad.  Not into a building, just generally away.  Oh, and just to make sure, those numbers were damage, yes?  I feel unsure because "arm exploding into blood" seems a little more serious than 3 HP damage.

Sigh takes off with Fleyshius right behind him. They both sprint over the nearest dune and hide behind it. Fleyshius uses some of his clothing and his tire iron to tightly bind sigh's arm and stop the bleeding. Sigh's arm is badly hurt, skin and muscle cut to the bone in dozens of places. It's gonna have to be carefully looked after or it might never work properly again.

Bill sighs as he notices the situation in town devolve into a shitfest. "Fucking idiots. They've probably pissed off the wizard now." He mutters as he thinks of a way to save them if necessary.

What happened to the other children? I want to know if my summon senses picked anything up, especially how they moved along that magnetic field, and any fluctuation that would have signalled a lapse in their invulnerability, since it seems they can be hurt now. Also, did that window of vulnerability close when they started moving fast enough to shred sigh's arm? If the statues are still vulnerable and the others didn't manage to deal with them, get in there with my summons and golem and smash the statues to pieces, possibly using my golem as a club if necessary. Use my golem to block any attempts to touch me by the statue kids. If the statues aren't vulnerable, charge one of the metal acorns with "Disrupt", envisioning it being able to disrupt whatever spell is animating the statues, or disrupt their connection to the magnetic field, and try to throw it into one of the openings on one of the statues. Still use my golem to block any attacks by the statue kids. And be prepared to flee on my summons outside the magnetic field if something stronger shows up that my/my summons instincts/reasoning tell me I can't handle.

The other children have moved far away, far enough away that the only way you can see them is their connection to the magnetic field. The field remains strong and unwavering.  They weren't moving any faster than normal when they shredded sigh's arm, it looked like they just touched him normally and their touch did it. You run in and, rather than having one your summons do it, you pick up the golem and smash the remaining child with it. [4] The child's chest crushes inward and it goes quiet and still.

[Dermonster]

Marcus surveys the situation, ready to shoot at any moment. "Is everyone accounted for!? Marcus is unharmed!"

"I'm good!" Alanna replies, peering around. "I think those two just leaped behind a dune."

"Ugh. Marcus hates getting sand in wounds. Itches like crazy!"

"Whatever. That shitlord needs to die, I'm thinking."

"Marcus agrees. That life is unnatural. Whatever was left of children's minds are gone; they are but puppets of a delusional mad-thing."

"Right. Bill, Beethro, what do you think?"

"We need to keep moving, before the wizard sends anything else. The only way he could manage what he's done so far is if he had old world artifacts or was an old world wizard."

Get the spider hooked up to the cart, ride on my snakescorpion, and let's keep going. If possible, move outside the magnetic field and follow its edge towards the center to limit the amount of time we are vulnerable to teleporting statue children. Keep using my and my summons' senses to avoid traps, ambushes, and other dangers.
