[aDwarfNamedUrist]

After his theory of universal gravitation and invention of calculus, Sir Isaac Newton made an even more groundbreaking discovery. Magic is real, and some Alchemists can tap into Alchemical Energies. A century after his death, these theories are uncovered by the British government and a corps of armed alchemists is formed to fight the dangerous creatures that have recently started arriving in the Mortal Realm, just as Newton predicted. You and three colleagues are one squad of this Alchemist force.Each Alchemist begins with 1000 of each type of mana, except their specialty, where they have 1200, and their deficit, where they have 800. Each non-combat turn, add 100 mana to one mana type. Each Alchemist also may choose their own weapon. Strength, Agility, and Intelligence start with 3 points each, and you have 2 points to spend on them. I will use 3d6 plus the relevant attribute for checks.

Hmm, so what to do when no response is happening?
I mean another player could take over temporarily.

[Blood_Librarian]

Pretty sure we're waiting on the DMs minotaur.

[aDwarfNamedUrist]

Auriel, long dismounting her horse before investigating the scene, had walked carefully and quietly to the scene with the rest of their group, or as quiet as quiet could be. When the Minotaur appeared, she swiftly leaped to the right, firing the crossbow on instinct and following it with the sharpest bolt of fire she could muster in such a short notice.

Sweep to the left. fire the crossbow. Spend 50 fire mana shooting a shoddy bolt of quickly made fire.

Auriel's attack:12+4=16  vs minotaur's dodge:5+4=9 damage:2+1=3
Minotaur:
minotaur's attack:7+7=12 vs Auriel's dodge:11+4=15

Seeing that this monstrosity has already made it to the group by now, I decide to extend the ground beneath my feet upwards in a spire about five or six meters made of the palace's floor. Making sure that I draw my falchion of course. Can't forget that.

Spend 75 Earth Mana making an elevated platform beneath my feet. Draw falchion.

75 earth mana is 7.5 kg of solid material. The result is a 1 meter tall spire.

Draw pistol, spending 100 Mana to inspire terror.

100 mana is enough to inspire mild terror.
Discovery: Each spell briefly flashes much greater than the final effect
minotaur morale roll:14-1-2=11,success for minotaur

Spend 300 wind mana to give my mates a speed buff due to wind moving very quickly with their movements

300 mana gives +2 to agility for this encounter.
Turn order is Detoxicated,Blood Librarian, Minotaur, Sosoku, Mardent.
