MORE RUM.
You down your rum. You feel your Mana Reserves increase. He pours you another.
Stuart notices his lack of money so he fireballs the bartender and prepares to drink while running.
Ypgnath notices Stuart casting fireballs and tries to stop him from burning whole alcohol down.
Cider turns Stuart into a pomeranian for what he's doing.
Init: Ypgnath, Cider, Stuart, Bartender
Stuart readies a fireball, but Ypgnath notices! They try to stop him, and need to decide how to do so quickly!
Method: 6(Overkill aka chain lightnings)
6+2: The wizard calls upon the power of lightning, and lets loose a devastating array of chaining lightning bolts that strikes the entire bar!
Dodge and Def Rolls:
Ein: 6+1 (In Cover)
Ypgnath: 3+1, 3+1 (Caster)
Cider: 5, 2
Whiskey Six: 4, 4
Calacachura: 3, 5
Stuart: 3-2, 6-2 (Main Target)
Skelly: 3, 4
Bob: 6
Haphazard: 1, 6-1
The Bar: 3
Patrons: 1, 3, 3, 4. 3-1, 6, 5, 1
The bartender sighs as he sees all this happen yet again, and ducks behind and under the bar for cover. He readies the spell to expel the attackers, but can't cast it quite yet.
Ypgnath can barely control the spell, and even he gets searing burns on his arms.
Cider is unprepared for this absurd area attack, but while he evades most of the bolts, his upper body takes an especially massive strike.
Whiskey Six evades most of the damage, but gets a few leg burns for his trouble.
Calacachura puts in a token effort to evade the attack, but it doesn't work very well. While their robes absorb most of the attack, they get a bolt to the head, stunning them momentarily!
Stuart is caught completely off guard by the attack's intensity, and is wracked by numerous bolts as he is stuck in the center of the attack! His whole body suffers severe burns, and the lightning spreads even to his internal organs!
Skelly also can't avoid the attack, though luckily the bolts only strike his legs.
Bob makes no effort to avoid the attack and looks longingly into his literally poisonous drink. Miraculously, he is absolutely untouched by the storm.
Haphazard is unfortunately seated next to Stuart, and is too satsfied with the taste of rum to avoid the attack. His upper body and legs suffer moderate burns.
Meanwhile, the interior of the bar is ripped apart by indiscriminate lightning. That damage would rack up quite the repair bill if you weren't all wizards.
The bar's patrons are wounded similarly to the rest of the people in the room, and begin to flee!
2+2-1v3-1: Cider attempts to turn Stuart into a canine, but the pain interferes with their focus! For a brief moment Stuart becomes a golden retriever, but his innate magic begins to undo the spell.
3+2-2(Is a dog): Stuart barks, and a small gout of flame rushes from his mouth! The bartender is still in cover, so the table is simply lit on fire. After that, his body returns to normal.
Whiskey Six takes a drink from his mug. He then leaps away from the counter as soon as he realizes what Stuart is doing.
Whiskey Six leaps to the ground, and drinks from the mug. He feels invigorated by the taste of his favorite drink.
Take a swig of beer and dive away from the fireball (not necessarily in that order).
Calacachura finishes his beer, and feels his magic top up!
Chug the Absinthe and ask for another one,Ignore that Stuart wants to burn down the building
Avoid extra Drunkenness: 6
Bob downs all the Absinthe in one go. Despite himself, the Bartender is impressed by your fortitude and gives you another once things are safe. However, he gently reminds you that having too much excess Mana can have consequences.
Meanwhile Skelly McBone is left utterly confused by all this chaos. (No action submitted.)
3+2v3,2: The bartender raises his staff and yells "GET OUT OF MY BAR!" With a flash, Ypgnath and Stuart are ejected from the bar! When they stand, they find themselves in a dank alleyway.
"And stay out!"

Animate Booze Construct: Animates a dead wizard's corpse under caster's control. It only has its cheapest spell that it had in life available to it (randomly picked from its cheapest spells, if there was a tie). It begins unlife with half health, 5 Mana, no Drunkenness, and no innate bonus to spellcasting. It loses one mana per turn and dies if it ever reaches zero mana. Former booze constructs cannot be reanimated. If a booze construct kills a mage, the random spell goes to the booze construct's creator, not the booze construct (unless the booze construct is its own creator or the booze construct's creator is dead, in which case the spell goes to the booze construct). 3 Mana. Don't expect most of these things to be true if you roll low.
