Dethrone Doomblade and put him in a 1000-year timeout on the Moon. Become Candy Queen of Magic, Halloween, and Dinosaurs.

All of this with the Power of Candy and Friendship. I got plenty of dinosaur friends, right?


Needless to say, sealing him away gives me Doomblade's Die too. For when I need a little Divine Power in my actions.

go to heaven, having fought valorously against the demon horde before being blasted by that explosion. Ask If I can have a second chance at life, or at the very least reincarnate as a hunting dog.

I just want to say I really enjoyed reading about the city blowing up. I always wanted to do that in my RTDs, but ATHATH never rolled well enough.

I'm glad you like my first attempt at a game, where I make up everything as I go along, and keep track of a bunch of crap some of which isn't important, but if I didn't I'd forget the important bits of what's happening.

Don't worry too much about the one mistake, Smoke Mirrors. Your character was memorable for all the demonology and story writing.

He sighed. In all honesty he expected this. But he had hoped it wouldn't come to this.
"Pheonix, Phyrra, Clayton... Activate."
Three of the fire-souls fused into a flaming bird, and took the bucket of candy he had planned on throwing in its claws. It lifted into the air soon after, making swoops about the city. Kit got a ping in his mind - ~Pheonix, flying!~
Pheonix's job is to deliver magical, healing candy to front-liners and innocent wounded, as well as maintain a tally of all the warring factions.
The rest of the souls scattered, filling the many skeleton animatronics on the float. It turns out their bones and weaponry were NOT plastic, but cold, hard, steel. Another ping - ÷Phyrra Squad, active.÷
The skeletons formed a defensive perimeter around the float. Their job was to assist bystanders onto/into the float, and attack enemy troops if they got too close.
And then that oddball pet soul sank into the float itself, and turned on a bunch of lights. Kit sank down on a hidden platform into the cockpit of the Halloween Purifier - Clayton. ×Initialization: Active.× said a gentle voice as Kit's HUD lit up.
×Info Screen: Online.×
×Targeting System: Online.×
×Weapons: Pending.×
×Movement: Online.×
×Welcome, Kit - Savior of Halloween.×
×Incinerator Clayton: Active.×

TL;DR - BREAK OUT PLAN B
(Combining three firesouls in to flaming bird = 6) You watch as three of the firesouls combine together, but something goes wrong and they scream, convulse and fall to the ground and die.
(Firesouls getting in to the skeletons = 6) Several firesouls get in to the skeletons, but some of them runaway as soon as they get in, and three die for some unknown reason.
(Are their weapons steel = 4) As you expected the weapons are made of steel.
(Skeleton defensive perimeter = 1) As soon as you give the order for the defensive perimeter, they all run behind the float and hide.
(Pet firesoul combining with the float = 4) Your pet firesoul gets into the float with out a problem.

OOC: They hate letting me read the rules of a game for a reason. Namely, my ability to pick up the little details like that.

One of the skeletons that was running feels a part of its soul die off. It stopped, and wondered what that feeling was. It looked behind it, and HOLY CRAP THAT WAS A MUSHROOM CLOUD WHERE A TOWN SHOULD BE. Wait. His summoner was there! Key word WAS, because he was pretty sure that his master died. He was the only one who noticed, and that was sad. So he started running towards the mushroom cloud, ready to exact VENGEANCE! Or, like, help the reconstruction efforts, that works too. Eh.

Use the secret 1UP I have, and run back towards the blown-up city!

Sorry about the wait.

The town's dead, all buildings destroyed and all people that haven't been found yet are dead.
More military people are coming to aid in evacuating the areas around the town.
Firefighters from surrounding towns are on the way to deal with the fires.
A large portion of the area surrounding the town ruins are on fire.
The rocket artillery and the mortar crew have left and went home.
There's several fires burning in the town ruins.
The army of demons has been defeated.
It stopped raining.
Its November 1 1:20A.m.
Yoink didn't post for the second time so random action.
ANGRY_DEMON_NOISES didn't post, but no random action because he's dead.

Go find a ghost doctor to treat my ghost injuries with ghost medical supplies.
(Finding ghost doctor = 4) Given how many people died its easy to find a ghost that was a doctor.
(Being healed = 3+2 For finding a doctor) It only takes a few minutes for the doctor to heal your injures, the ghost doctor also seems to want to join your crew, sense he's got nothing better to do now that he's dead.

"WHO'S A MAN AND A HALF?! I AM A MAN AND A HALF!"

Try to tear off horns/limbs from a random dead demon, then start using them as clubs or daggers, depending on how heavy/light, thick/thin and how sharp/blunt they are.
Start cleaning the whole building from the demon inhabitants. Burn all of the Hell money I happen to notice and see.

(Tearing bits off demons = 5) You use the fire extinguisher to bash a dead demon's head in so you can rip off one of its horns.
(Quality if demon bits = 4) When you pick it up you can see that its quite sharp and it looks like it would be quite good for using as a weapon.
(Killing demons = 2) You search the building but can't find any demons, they might be planning something because of the alarm from earlier.
(Finding money = 4) You do find a bunch of money during your demon hunt.
(Burning money = 4) You go and get a metal trashcan and fill it with stacks of money and light it on fire, as it burns you throw in more money, after a little bit you see that there's still some money left to burn.

Push over a desk.

*My house blew up. It is sad but not unexpected.
(4) You walk over to the nearest desk and flip it sending papers and desk stuff fling everywhere.

Ha. Reform from scraps.
(2+2 For being able to do that) It takes a few minutes to reform but you pull yourself back together, it does seem like you might have lost a few pieces to the blast but at least you have most of them.

Dethrone Doomblade and put him in a 1000-year timeout on the Moon. Become Candy Queen of Magic, Halloween, and Dinosaurs.

All of this with the Power of Candy and Friendship. I got plenty of dinosaur friends, right?


Needless to say, sealing him away gives me Doomblade's Die too. For when I need a little Divine Power in my actions.

(Dethroning Doomblade = 3) You don't really dethrone him as, as much as say he's not your king.
(Getting him to the moon = 2) Even withe magic and dinosaur friendship you can't really get him to the moon.
(Putting him in timeout = 4) Since you can't put him on the moon you opt to shove him into a cave instead, and put a big rock on top of it.
(Becoming Candy Queen of Magic, Halloween, and Dinosaurs = 3+1 For being magic and dinosaur friends) Using some magic and the power of friendship you become that thing you wanted to be.
(Taking Doomblade's dice = 5) Before you put Doomblade in the cave you steal some dice from his pockets.
You later hear that Doomblade reunited the kingdom and sealed him into a cave for no reason.

help in rebuilding the city.
(5) You would start rebuilding but the ruins are on fire so you opt to start putting out fires instead, you manage to put out several fires.

go to heaven, having fought valorously against the demon horde before being blasted by that explosion. Ask If I can have a second chance at life, or at the very least reincarnate as a hunting dog.
(Getting second chance at life = Heads | Reincarnating = Tails | = Heads) Your granted your request at a second chance at life, you wake up on a some random street surrounded by ruined houses some of which are on fire, well at least your alive again.

Ok, only missed one turn, thought I missed more

Build a hall of mirrors.
(3) You try to start working on the hall of mirrors, but then you realize that all your demons are dead, the tents gone, and that you're also dead.

(Firesouls getting in to the skeletons = 6) Several firesouls get in to the skeletons, but some of them runaway as soon as they get in, and three die for some unknown reason.
OOC: They hate letting me read the rules of a game for a reason. Namely, my ability to pick up the little details like that.

Use the secret 1UP I have, and run back towards the blown-up city!
((I'm assuming you wanted to take over one of the skeletons.))
(Taking over skeleton = 5) Your now a skeleton, and you start heading back towards the town as you get closer to the town you see that the woods around you are on fire.
(Do the others follow = 5) Then you notice that the other skeletons are following you for some reason.

Assist Tric in unifying the kingdom!
(5) You successfully convince the angry dinosaurs that you didn't mean what you said and get them to reunite with the rest of the dino kingdom, then TricMagic steals the dice from your pockets, and shoves you in a cave and sealed you in.

Try to figure out what the heck just happened.
Start spreading out over the ruins, eating dead trees, ruined wood from buildings, discarded candies, bags of chips laying in the street, and any corpses that look like they'd go unmissed. Use the biomass to turn into a big fireproof blanket and cover up the fire.
