[ATHATH]

Fly over to the castle. Does it have a roof?

[Nirur Torir]

Walk to the castle.

Get flown to the castle.

[NJW2000]

"Oh good lord. This is going oh so wrong."

Brian gets to the castle any way he can, perhaps using player constructions and climbing spikes. He then has a good look at it.

If someone competent offers to fly him, he accepts.

Walk to the castle.

Offer to cast Fly on these guys. If they accept, do so.

[IronyOwl]

Turn 7: Slapfight

Hmm...

Instead, try to draw fire mana from the inferno that is the chandelier, and dodge any attacks from mooks. If I have enough Mana by the end of the turn, try to sling a lob of fire at a mook.

[3] You pull in and release fire across the cultists. It's not terribly strong, though.

+1 Fire Magic
Now +2 Fire Mage
-1 Cultists

Focus, manipulate flame outwards, towards ONLY the cultists.

[5] Miraculously, you manage to force your fire off of yourself and onto the cultists, without hitting your allies!

+2 Fire Magic
-1 Cultists
Still on fire, though

Pillar up near the center of the platform.

[3] You raise a lump of rock near the middle of the platform.

+1 Earth Magic
Now +6 Earth Mage

Try to initiate hammer time on the mooks, again

[5] You expertly bludgeon them, and you do so in style!

+2 Clubs
Now +3 Clubsman
-1 Cultists

[2] The cultists attempt to punch you into your flaming friend, but you gracefully avoid them.

Then a door on the far wall opens and a rather vibrantly green robed figure strides through, arms outstretched in a come-at-me-bro gesture.

Fly over to the castle. Does it have a roof?

[2] You attempt to fly. It comes out as more of a flop onto the wet stone platform the others have apparently smoothed out here.

Walk to the castle.

Get flown to the castle.

[4] Stepping over the prone form of your "flying" comrade, you manage to get up to the castle the old-fashioned way. There's a closed metal door, and upon approaching it you think you hear ominous sounds.

+1 Climbing
Now +2 Climber

"Oh good lord. This is going oh so wrong."

Brian gets to the castle any way he can, perhaps using player constructions and climbing spikes. He then has a good look at it.

If someone competent offers to fly him, he accepts.

[6] With the keyword being "competent," you hurl yourself up the jagged slopes like a man possessed, collapsing to rest once you get to the top. A few minutes later a lazier comrade makes it up also, which makes you question the usefulness of your speed.

+2 Climbing
Now +3 Climber
Now [Sore]

"Oh good lord. This is going oh so wrong."

Walk to the castle.

Offer to cast Fly on these guys. If they accept, do so.

From your position facedown in a shallow puddle, it occurs to you that you probably should have decided on one action or another, but with luck like this it's just as well.


A few more people arrive and, for the most part, immediately spring into action.

[BlastoiseWarlorf]

Come at him, bro. With the club.

[crazyabe]

HIGHER, THE LUMP MUST BECOME A PILLAR WHICH CAN BREACH THE HEAVENS.

[NJW2000]

Have a real good look at the structure. What technology level are we talking about: what did they use to construct it?

If given the "Welcome to the arena" spiel, Brian will offer a deal, in which we capture gladiators and beasts from other worlds, in exchange for whatever they can offer us.

[Coolrune206]

Karen simply continues the whole "fling fire at the mooks" deal. It may not be incredibly effective, but it's doing something.

[ATHATH]

I said fly, gosh darn it. Use Air Magic to assist my flight if necessary. Repeat my "check if the castle has a roof" action.

[Nirur Torir]

Sit down and try to sense for potted plants in the castle. I need a pet murderplant. No, trying for a murder-plant would drain all my mana whether or not I succeed.

Look for some sort of improvised weapon on my way to the sounds of battle.

[DolosusDoleus]

Propel myself towards the castle, mumbling about these goshdarned dark areas and their lack of good old-fashioned lamps or even just some simple torches for God's sake.

Once at the castle, see if I can find any structural instabilities that could be exploited.

[IronyOwl]

Turn 8: Flailing

Come at him, bro. With the club.

[5] You run over and slap him right upside his silly green hat. A collective "OOOOOOOOOOOH!" comes from the cultists.

[4+1] He spins his way back to his feet, slapping the everloving shit out of you. The "OOH!" is much sharper this time.

Green Man: -1 HP
You: -1 HP
+2 Clubsman
Now +4 Clubsman

HIGHER, THE LUMP MUST BECOME A PILLAR WHICH CAN BREACH THE HEAVENS.

[2] It refuses. ITS IS THE SLOTH THAT SHALL REFUSE THE HEAVENS!

If given the "Welcome to the arena" spiel, Brian will offer a deal, in which we capture gladiators and beasts from other worlds, in exchange for whatever they can offer us.

[2] Uh... it's made of... rock? Like, bricks n shiet.

You remain unmolested, as you are outside the castle.

Karen simply continues the whole "fling fire at the mooks" deal. It may not be incredibly effective, but it's doing something.

[1] You sort of... fling fire at yourself. Wrap yourself in a fire cloak instead of rotating it around to hurl at the enemies, you know how it goes.

[5] The cultists hesitantly beat you, careful to punch the not-on-fire parts.

-2 HP
Now [On Fire]

I said fly, gosh darn it. Use Air Magic to assist my flight if necessary. Repeat my "check if the castle has a roof" action.

[2] You flop around like a hatchling. It is very undignified.

It also occurs to you that this rain is hell on your skin-goo. You'd better find shelter or something before you're soft-flayed.

Sit down and try to sense for potted plants in the castle. I need a pet murderplant. No, trying for a murder-plant would drain all my mana whether or not I succeed.

Look for some sort of improvised weapon on my way to the sounds of battle.

[2] There are a lot of rocks out here.

The door opens to a bunch of people in robes hollering at some other people in robes beating and being beaten by a bunch of your buddies.

Propel myself towards the castle, mumbling about these goshdarned dark areas and their lack of good old-fashioned lamps or even just some simple torches for God's sake.

Once at the castle, see if I can find any structural instabilities that could be exploited.

[3] You clamber up to the castle. It's rough going, and you find you need a rest at the top.

Now [Tired]

Catch my breath. Scoot about in wheelchair looking for structural instabilities while doing so. Loudly complain about the lack of modern conveniences available.

[Nirur Torir]

Save Karen entering to melee range and bashing a cultist in the back of the head with my rock.
