ATHATH has decided to drop out, unfortunately.

Turn 55: Conflict IntensifiesINIT:
NAV/Dave Blade(68)
Person/Raphael(32)
Dancing Grape Golem(13)
GigaGiant/Capko Eagleson(82-20=62)
Yottawhat/Willam A. Drango(87)
ATHATH/Spoopy(81) ((soon to be Nikola))
Edgar(37)
Frogbear(27)
Failbird105/Rich Maximillian McMoneybags(4)
Captain America(69)
dustywayfarer/Phlorizin(10, 12 = 10)
Empty Metal Armor(92)
The
Empty Metal Armor that was Phlorizin's bane would have smiled if it had a biological face.
Attack! Put him down for good!
FIST!(4) vs. Dodge!(0)
The armor had all the time in the world to line up a perfect strike.
FIST!(4, 2 = 4) vs. Resist!(6)
It seemed, though, when Phlorizin fell unconscious, his staff fell on his face and covered it. The punch struck the staff, cracking it instead of Phlorizin's skull. The crack in the staff promptly started leaking magic. Of course.
Smarts?!(4)
The armor realized it could take advantage of this.
If a magical item was leaking energy, that clearly meant it was unstable. It could even explode.Logic!(5)
The staff promptly exploded.
Armor Luck!(4)
The blast wave of magic exploded over the golem, leaving its plates with little spikes that looked slightly like fur.
Phlorizin Luck!(3)
Phlorizin wasn't as lucky, though he at least was only partially effected. If only he could see himself...
Forced Awakening!(4)
The shock of having his body forcibly altered woke Phlorizin up immediately.
... was that a tail? Claws on his hands? Furry ears on the top of his head? What on earth had happened while he was unconscious, and where had his staff gone!
William A. Drango sought an actual fight.
Well shit. At this point, I'm just going to reload my revolver and look for a monster to fight.
He clicked a new bullet into his revolver, and walked off.
Search For Monsters!(1)
Look Where You're Stepping!(4)
William searched a while, and then noticed he was about to step on a knife. Come to think of it, the floor was covered in knives. Daggers, really. Covering a staircase leading downwards... and he was on the first floor.
Spoopy the Skeleton was feeling weird. He growled in rage at the thought.
He raised his dagger into the air and charged Captain America!
Stab!(4) vs. Dodge!(6+1=7)
As he expected, Captain America nimbly avoided his attack.
Why was everything getting hazy?
Captain America moved to take advantage, only to strike a golden barrier!
Dave Blade, the legend, went off to find someone to slay, followed by his Dancing Grape Golem.
Dave Blade and the Dancing Grape Golem look for someone to kill.
Murder... Who?!(5)
Dave Blade and his golem wandered to the center of the South island, where they noticed a frog bear, a ball of golden light, and Captain America. That would do?
Capko Eagleson wished he had a better weapon.
Search for something I can use to fix the chainsaw. If I find nothing, then practice wielding the chainsaw like a mace.
Search!(3)
No luck. At least not nearby.
Macesaw?!(4)
Come to think about it, if he wielded the chainsaw by the blade, it was like a mace, wasn't it? An awkward one.
Edgar and his master
Raphael were doing secret things.
Person, aka Raphael, only. If you aren't that person, stop reading.
If you are, read on.

Stealth Locating!(2)
There was nobody to be found in the immediate area, unfortunately. Not that you could find, anyway.
You pose your question to Edgar.
"Hm. Assassination sounds like it would make me a better assassin. That would complement my abilities well. Illusion would be similarly useful, as it might augment my disguises, but might not be as useful in combat. Invisibility would have its use, but you're right, it fills a niche my disguises already do. Gravity might let me control it, or might let me defy it. Death has the most possible forms. I can't say what might come of choosing that. Personally, I'd recommend Assassination or Illusion, unless you've thought of a better one."
The
Frogbear didn't know what was going on with his master, or who that guy and his golem were, but the America guy had to go!
Rend and tear asunder!
Rend!(5-1=4) vs. Dodge!(5+1=6)
How on earth did the man keep dodging his claw swipes?
Phlorizin was now a little bit... wolf? Dog? He thought dog.
[Roll To Regain Consciousness]
At least he was conscious. Unfortunately, so was his opponent. And now he only had his whip.
Rich McMoneybags examined his spear...
has my spear changed in any way? If so, continue through dungeon stabbing snakes, if not, continue through the dungeon stabbing snakes.
It didn't seem to be different.
Intuition!(2)
Hm.
He walked through the first room into the second room, a large chamber lit by torches on each wall.
There were two doors, both sealed. A rather ominous golem with carved scales, wearing a snake mask, sat at a table carved with snakes, on one of two chairs carved with snakes. Upon the table, was a board game. Nine Man's Morris. The golem picked up a white stone and held it towards Rich. Offering him the first move.
~~~
Nikola appeared where Spoopy used to be.
Well this was interesting. What on earth was going on here? There was a frog bear thing(his, he realized), Captain America(he was fighting him?) and an onlooker with a golem made of grapes. Bah.
A chocolate bar promptly dropped into his hand. Well then.
