(( I forgot to mention it, but the reason nothing really happened with the ocean and your action last game was just due to how ridiculous high BoB has climbed you. Basically it was out of Amon's magickal reach if that makes sense. Don't be surprised if it's much the same this time, but who knows? Maybe all you need to get Cosmic Power was to sit on the big funny chair? C:  ))

(In my defense, It’s a magical divine big funny chair, And tric gets their power from magical ink so I see this as perfectly reasonable lol. If magic ink can grant greater power, Then why can’t the literal omnipotence granting chair? Even if it’s just a byproduct of it’s legit infinite power.)

(Plus, As a godly power giving chair, The amount of pure unadulterated power that must be flowing out of it would be mind boggling. I see no reason as to why Amon couldn’t make use of that, Given his 5 will and divine luck. Place of power acquired? Fingers crossed.)

Hood summons some destruction elementals and then has his giant jump in the water to the north of the continent and then he travels in it to the north-westernmost point of the continent he’s on.

Load in the ship my friend. Take the fight directly to those who trespass. The cannons should serve for ranged bombardment, though I leave you to the specifics.

She sets a trap for the marching titan, a hole hollowed out near the voidlines that will send it falling so deep they will need to climb out. Needed time for her forces to reach them.

? then takes some of the remaining marble and smooths them into a few spheres, which she then imbues with dark might to create Abyssal Orbs, omnidirectional floating scouts for her friend to command. Though limited to the same area the ship can fly, they can also shine with energy, staining their targets with the non-light of the abyss.

TURN TEN
OH! Thine lifeblood,
OH! Thine power,
I doth drink it dry. . .
Comes now the hour!






- Dr Unpleasant -

FATES DESCISION - DRYING THE MUD - 1d10 + 2 (RUBY-EYED STAFF) = 9

As you stand at the entrance of the Caldera Temple aeons olde, your mindless ashen zombies abaft, all gathering the scattered implements of bronzed metals from their forgotten history, you hold the Ruby-Eyed Staff aloft. Through the greened rod of bronze you can feel the constant heat it emenates, more than enough to start a bkaze by its headpiece's mere touch. The longer it sits in those callused hands of yours the more the worry of it searing the flesh creeps up in the back of your mind. But for now, you hoist it forward toward the great mudslides into the valley you and your ghouls had carven, no doubt it'd keep your army put. Your eyes seal shut and the red-yellowed slit of the gemstone snaps to attention, practically bearing a life of its own. With one swift motion, a searing gaze instatntly solidifies all the filthy mud cast by the prior rainstorm into clay-like stairs out from the ground level. The heat wave evaporates all condensation about the ground and air, a fog of vapours cascading back into the night sky. With the air dried to a desert crisp, the Enkindled Ones stand ready behind you, fully armed with their equipment in life so long ago, and the stone mounted Ashen Idols stand ready behind they. The Ruby-Eyed Staff goes inert, the metal cools to a dull red. You feel as if you will not be able to utilize its power until the turn after next.



- Clesydros -

FATES DESCISION - ALTERING THE KOSMITES - 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) + 1 (The First Slate) = 11
FATES DESCISION - IMBUING INTELLECT - 1d10 + 1 (The First Slate) = 2

Fluttering, flittering, recollections reverberate throughout your head in a constant pang of numbing pain. It dances through the opaque crystalline bodies of the Kosmites as they continue their excavation, evermore remaining in that mortal skull of yours. Memories. . . Of this place? Of times of the beginning? Surely it cannot be. But just so the inspiration is too grand to be rid of, whether their source is ever divined. Through this, you set your magick upon the numerable Kosmites, who do not even take a moment to halt their orders. You focus upon the Time Crystals for this sake, not adding to the creatures, but casting these aspirations deep into the past, echoing after the origin point of the Time Crystals. In such fashion, as always, the Kosmites bear this form: Joints indecipherable to a true man across their hardened bodies, padded sharp feet where a fool might have once thought them to be little more than points, and a great sharpened blade where doth their tails end, all together a form of stability and precision. Before you'd realized it, the Kosmites had already made greater progress than you first recalled, unvieling now once great structures of the ancients, untouched by the Kruovios's hauling, where the arch bearing that first language resided; the humble workshop of a mason, reeking of the earth.

With the slate in hand, you've designs on a web, an extent psyche to be shared between the many. You raise it above your head, casting a portion of your mind into it and attempt to channel the spell outward upon the crystal men. Yet. . . Strikingly you find it nary a simple task to manipulate such concepts, where those constant echoes of the Evergreen disrupt your concentration. The magick fizzles with no mean result, not even the Kosmites themselves seemed to have noticed your spell. . . At the very least, with their forms enhanced, you take stock of the foundation slowly being put together by the Kruovios, 'tis a humble thing when compared to the immense clocktowers of your memories, but all starts with a single seed.


Kosmites gain +1 Skill!



- Maria 'Habitat' Violet -

FATES DESCISION - ALGAE EATING WORMS & LEECHES - 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) = 9

What fortune! The Algae has taken well to these silent waters, much like your many grasses, the magicks of life you hold so dear in your breast have taken deep root even in this barren world whom life has forgotten. Much like the tall fields you seek a thriving ecosystem, sowing again the seeds for future use, counting the eventualities of this Cosmic Game you all play. Plucking the nearest blade of long grass, you move between the pleasant field, nary disturbing the great insectoid beasts you'd summoned here, even more fortuitous perhaps; you notice a healthy clutch of eggs, mayhaps Hoppers, mayhaps Mantids, either reality is reafirming news. At last, returning to the seaside where small grasses have spread, you split the plucked blade about a third of the way down its length and speak soft words to either side. Casting both into the greened sea, the first wriggles so! It divides a few times yet more into long flatworms about the size of a forearm that disperse into the shore's waters. The second darkens and bubbles forth into many little sacks of flesh. The creatures catch on to the flatworms here or there, parasitizing the beasts as they begin their algal feast. All together, the creatures relationship with the plantlife will do just the same in enriching the sea.

(( I chose not to stat out the Flatworms and Leeches much like the Crystallivore Birds, not because they are unimportant, but more because I consider them 'small' and more a part of the ecosystem. It's unlikely that these creatures will be involved in combat in anyway, their main duty being the spreading of their respective terrain types. However if the need does arrise, I will absolutely grant them a stat block like any other creature. ))



- Shapeless Apparition -

FATES DESCISION - ABSORBTION AND GROWTH - 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) = 4

Panic! Uncertainty! Such emotions do not become the strange alien matter blob that is the Shapeless Apparition, and yet they are set within its undulating body. Perhaps it is the oddity of this Nameless World that seeps into the Apparitions assimilating form, seeding the creature with notions of the first life cast down by the Creator of Creators. Perhaps such is all mere speculation, unknown to all the others is what of the Eight Roots that this unspeakable one calls its mother. With a great push, out from it's exoskeleton of ancient bone and relic does its many limbs strike into the earth here and there across this ruinous colloseum. Some find purchase, while others are impeded by uncovered block and mortar, the action does not seem enough to further speed the mass gaining process by a notable quotion, still you gain a wound every third turn.

FATES COLLIDE! - SHAPELESS APPARITION VS. FLAMING GAZELINGS -
Assimilating Tendrils -- 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) + 1 (Skill) = 7
Rolling Eyeballs -- 1d10 + 0 (Skill) = 1

FATES DESCISION - GAZELING'S RESISTING ASSIMILATION - 1d10 + 3 (Hardiness) = 13!

Each of these frightened balls of flesh roll about, each of them still trying to internalize the fact that they are consumed by a constant blue blaze before the Apparition fell with a tremendous roar from the cavern ceiling. To say the least, they were unprepared. Several tentacles steak out in the stagnant air and wrap themselves about the eyeballs, with no limbs to call their own, and little chance to focus, these displaced Gazelings cannot possibly hope to resist. All at once they are brought into the central mass of the Shapeless Apparition, where their flames lick at its unspeakable innards. While consumed, their strange forms are not immediately broken down, something about the matter that composes the Gazelings does not wholly seem to react to your own, at least not quickly. However. . .

FATES DESCISION - FLAMES WITHIN - 1d10 + 4 (Hardiness) = 7

Your body manages to shirk off any true damage from their constantly burning forms, but the pain is still present. And the eyeball creatures continue to swim about within you. Uncertain is the outcome here.



- Yellow Pixel -

FATES DESCISION - FOG OF JOY - 1d10 + 1 (Secondary Aspect) = 2

((Ouch, two in a row like this.))

Such yucky, nasty invaiders! Even as you watch their clumsy undead bodies shamble through the dungeon of the Banana Castle, you can't help but be consumed. Consumed by feelings you never thought you could feel. Welling up within you is neither gas, nor happiness, it is a pure yellow rage! Such a thing is unheard of from the world you hail, such a thing. . ! The dessicated bodies pulling brick by pixel brick out from under your glorious castle, no, indeed there is no joy here to flood this place with, only hate. Hate for the sick monsters, HATE for the other mystic. In that moment, one of the dead move to grasp for you!

FATES COLLIDE! - YELLOW PIXEL VS. HATEFUL DEAD -
Hateful Dead attack! -- 1d10 + 2 (Might) = 6
Yellow Pixel Retaliates! -- 1d10 + 5 (Skill) = 14!
Trapped Halls 1d10 = 7

One of the sickening creatures grabs hold of your blocky form. The last mistake it will ever make, in life, or unlife. With extreme speed and precision, your pixel body surges forward, like a bullet you fire yourself straight through the creature, obliterating its head in a cloud of bone dust and HATE! You pick up momentum as you do, flying through the bottom dungeon, smashing through the bodies of the Hateful Dead with utter abandon, destroying the creatures one by one with your two dimensional form. When at last you gather your wits back about you, every last being of the risen dead have either been smashed to pieces or taken care of by the multiple traps you'd laid earlier. As you calm down, the lttle mote of light you made earlier floats back on by toward you, its sight, thought pitiful helps to rouse your spirits once more.

Hateful Dead -- Population: Some -> Extinct!



- Amon -

(( Whooooo boy. ))

FATES DESCISION - IMBUING ELDRITCH - 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) + 1 (Luck) + 3 (The Cosmic Throne) - 6 (Magickal Strain) = 2
FATES DESCISION - IMBUING IMMORTALITY - 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) + 1 (Luck) + 3 (The Cosmic Throne) - 6 (Magickal Strain) = 4
FATES DESCISION - IMBUING POWER - 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) + 1 (Luck) + 3 (The Cosmic Throne) - 6 (Magickal Strain) = 4

With Amon standing just before the immense slate stones of the Cosmic Throne, his cold eyes are cast about it in wonderment, though not in some childlike awe, but rather rippling with the pure potential that such an artefact could grant him. His root, the world he had sought the domination of, memories came roaring back toward him as he looked upon the throne. The countless creatures, innocent or not for whom his will was exerted upon. . . Amon shook whatever strange emotions evoked at the sight away, his was a focus, one that would declare himself a god. Not just a god, no, the Creator above all else. So that all would become his plaything through and through. The titanic BoB now shaped much like a man sat crosslegged in the center of the plataeu, he does not respond to Amon's indeirect jeers, but rather watches on with a certain lazy expression. While Gazey continues to hop up and down beside the purple robed mystic on those proud legs of his.

You take one more step toward the Throne, glancing over the infinite embossed texts of starlight and Energy of Beginnings, sights that sear at the mind and call to you, an understanding washes over you at each symbol, then disappears as if you'd never looked upon it. The constant shifting of words, thoughts, concepts, and all the Divine Grammar of Creation ripple across your being, more eldritch than any soul lost on the dark sea between realities. Yet even despite all this, your ambition, or perhaps your arrogance knows no possible end, you seek to channel the twisting Cosmos. Shaking the worry away as you begin your spells, Gazey mouths a few words of encouragement, "If anyone here can do it, it's you boss!" And promptly dashes away beyond the mountain that is BoB. From each of the starlight words you draw the magicks inward, flooding your mind with power unbefore seen, your nose bleeds, and your legs strength diminish. . . Your manipulation swirls about your own body, then BoB's, then Gazey's, and each of you are wracked with internal pain your focus fails and the spell does not take hold. But this only proves to frustrate you, to draw you further.


FATES DESCISION - IMBUING EARTH - 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) + 1 (Luck) + 3 (The Cosmic Throne) - 6 (Magickal Strain) = 8

As you raise both arms to spread you magicks beyond the great pillar and below into the sea, you find the will sapped from them, unabled to move, while the knuckles and joints throb as if a great storm swells in the distance. You are unmoved by such frivalous trepidations. With a deep breath you suck in the light across the Cosmic Throne, deep into your lungs. Then all at once sputter and spit a radiant shower of sparks. The glow tumbles into the still waters below this place, where the mystic spittle takes hold and freezes across the sea in the shape of stark land. As if the ancient marble grew over the surface of the ocean!

FATES DESCISION - IMBUING LIFE - 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) + 1 (Luck) + 3 (The Cosmic Throne) - 6 (Magickal Strain) = 4
FATES DESCISION - IMBUING CHAOS - 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) + 1 (Luck) + 3 (The Cosmic Throne) - 6 (Magickal Strain) = 6
FATES DESCISION - IMBUING LOYALTY - 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) + 1 (Luck) + 3 (The Cosmic Throne) - 6 (Magickal Strain) = 1



Unfinished as of yet, determined to force your will upon this place, to command all the power of creation here at once, you ready your magicks for a final spell. The blood that drips from your nose, and from the pores in your tongue, so to you spit it out upon the new lands far, far, beyond your vision below the Throne and below the pillar. Engorging itself upon the rock does it take on some mockery of life, ebbing across it, mimicing a sickly vegetation that begs for its own demise, then you fall to your knees.

FATES DESCISION - RESISTING THE THRONE - 1d10 + 5 (Willpower) + 1 (Luck) - 8 (Thirst of the Throne) = 2



That vision of yours blurs heavily, almost to the sake of blindness. You find your robes of royal purple are stained deeply red where the crimson flow of life seeps from every orrifice of your flesh. Any errant drops that fall 'neathe you are drunk dry by the stone, leaving naught but a memory of your incorrigable pain.

What time passes, you cannot say, but you awake to the eye of Gazey, proding you gently with a rock foot, wordlessly begging for your survival. You are wholly unsure of what your actions have wrought.


Amon's immense force of extent will keep him from being consumed by the Cosmic Throne. However he recieves two wounds!



- '?' - & - Hood -

FATES COLLIDE! - PIT TRAP VS. BARROWHOLD GIANT -
? OPENING THE VOID -- 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) - 2 (Magickal Strain) = 10!
BARROWHOLD BALANCE -- 1d10 + 2 (Skill) = 8

As the time does pass, lumbering forward in the ship-hull chest of the Barrowhold Giant, so to passes the strange dark fog that had deigned to strangle the soul from your body. Whatever it was, this Continent of Monsters was quickly becoming evermore deadly, opposed to all other life. Quickly, you direct the Giant to dash itself into the sea once more, certainly you/d have to return here to deal with the mystic, though you haven't borne witness of them as of yet, but for now perhaps it's best you flee and recuperate. Yet, as the skeletal titan bounds towards the shore, it's footing is made for naught. In mere moments, down through a sudden opening in the fossilized earth does the massive skeleton fall to it's feet. The bones sink ever so into an abysmal mire at the bottom of the hole, it's walls seep a black ooze, no doubt another one of the master of this land's tricks, but you would not dare to give your life up here and now. Safe midst the many ribs of your collossus, you dig the Calamitous Spear down, blade up in the chest cavity and there you chant a few dark hyms.

FATES DESCISION - SUMMON ELEMENTALS - 1d10 + 1 (Secondary Aspect) = 10!

Oh, ye darkness beyond twilight,
Oh, ye crimson beyond blood that flows,
Buried 'midst the stream of time,
Wherein thine power grows,
Pledge mineself to conquer all thine foes who stand,
'Fore the mighty gift 'stowed mine unworthy hand. . .


As the Barrowhold Giant uses its great strength to dredge itself upwards from deep pit, digging its great knobs into the void-seeping walls, a new sight blots out the sky. On the horizon's bleak distance do you and yours spot it; a great ship of marbled stone gleaming white, rippling with pulsing veins of black. The trap's distraction seems to have given the enemy enough time to arrive, but they do not beset close upon you. Rather, as their void-sail devours the air, the great sailing stone twists its side facing you as the giant draws itself up halfway from the black pit. Three notable holes doth line the stone's side, each like glistening eyes seeking out your death.

The Lone Solider casts her estoc forward in the direction of '?'s enemies, the great skelton beast and it's detestable insides. Scurrying aboard the deck, the beastkin let out a cheering bellow, loading the stuff of the void into the cylindrical cannons that line the Abyssal Sailor. "Take aim!" She barks, there is a trembling in the air as the ship steadies herself, waves of magick turbulence radiating from their target. "FIRE!" The woman belows, and the rat-like beastmen do just that, inky black projectiles of great mass scatter out from the ship. Seeking their prey.


FATES COLLIDE! - ELEMENTALS VS. ABYSSAL SAILOR -
VOID SHOTS -- 1d10 + 2 (Skill) + 1 (Leadership) = 6
DESTRUCTION -- 1d10 + 5 (Might) = 7

May the fools whom stand before me be destroyed
By the powers thee and I doth posess!


As Hood's words ring throughought the hollow body of the Giant, the Calamitous Spear's enchanted blade erupts, gouting with energy. Therefrom, the unknowable bed of chaos springs forth, taking shape in crackling crimson-black entities resembling featureless forms of men. These few beings are composed purely of elemental destruction, the power to render all as naught before them, not so unlike the void they face, yet in truth, it's complete opposite. At once, as cannon blasts ring overhead, they disperse from your shelter into the air. Their constantly shifting bodies connect with the dark cannonfire, meeting between the pit and the Abyssal Sailor. There in a massive cascade does energy erupt, shockwaves of black and red that paint the night's silver sky across the entirety of the Nameless World, a release of power so great as to shake the mighty firmament of this place of creation's birth.

While at last the Barrowhold Giant tears itself fully from the dark pit, the Beastkin and the Lone Soldier gather themselves, undaunted by this perilous foe. They ready to fire once more as the remaining elementals surge into the sky, heading straight their way. . !


FATES DESCISION - ABYSSAL ORBS - 1d10 + 2 (Primary Aspect) - 2 (Magickal Strain) = 9

((You just can't help but roll well every turn Tric!))

The Keep of Black Apathy shudders, even as it is surronded by the stuff of the void. The colorful shimmer of light lingers above for a few moments more as you perfect your design. It seems that she and the Beastkin have taken flight before you could complete your working. But ironic to your current state, you've faith in them. Putting to the perfectly-hewn spheres of marble do you seep nothingness. A tendril of the void-lines engorging each stone with your will, with the expressed desire to unmake all that is, to render this afront that is Creation as naught. The drones take flight just as well, barreling toward the battlegrounds to assist the Abyssal Sailor and its crew.




(( You guys were devilishly fast this turn, so I tried my best getting this one out to match! Hopefully the quality didn't suffer for it. Really digging the stuff you guys are putting out, I'm thoroughly enjoying the little dispirate stories that are emerging from your conflicts, some entwined with the other mystics, some entwined with the ancient world, and some to their own creations. Thank you all for continuing to particpate thus far in my first game, I truly can't tell you how much it means to me that we've reached turn ten, a milestone! Maybe I'm just sentimental, and you may see it as no more than a forgettable little forum tryst, but seeing people engage in something you're attempting to creating is a truly inspiring experience. Soo, that aside, below here is a hopefully exhaustive list of every character and living being that exists thus far. I've categorized them using both the expanded descriptions and Strik3r's very neat widgets. From now on, I'd like each of you to include your mystic's stats for everyone's conviencience, and the relevant creatures under your immediate control, if that's not too much to ask. I know it's a bit of extra bookkeeping, but I think it'll do good for keeping the game healthy. Thanks!))

(Hopefully I still get the bonus, That kind of backfired horribly on me.)

(Also, Unraveller, Can you explain why that didn’t work? It made perfect sense to me.)

hood puts his elementals on the attack, and then channels destructive energy, using the giant as a focus, and blasts a ray at ?’s dark fortress.  and then he has his giant climb out of the pit and continue west.

Clesydros sighs in frustration at the absence of any noticable effect on the intellect of the Kosmites. Before he can say anything, he releases a subdued gasp as he feels the echoes of a shifting power, and almost instinctually jerks his head toward the Cosmic Throne.
"I felt the energy of the Throne sputter for but a moment. Rather in stark contrast to it's usual constant, uniform flow of energy that it exudes. No doubt something is afoot."
He then turns his head back toward the Kosmites, still as they always are.
"While it would be prudent to investigate. I must correct my latest failure. Failure like this can not be permitted! I must do so now! Before the time to do so has walked too far from it!"


He takes the Timepiece from within the folds of his robes, again holding it up, inspecting it slightly.
"I had hoped that i would not have to put this artifact into use so soon, but i see no alternative.... I shall open the timepiece, and redo the fates' decision on my Kosmite's intellect ...and my utter failure. That has now set back my plans and cost me valuable time. As well, i had intended to tell them the solution to the issue of binding the bricks that make up the tower, the tower which the Kruvios shall keep building: The plan was, by taking small, crushed chunks of Time Crystal and placing them between the unbound bricks, they should grow between and into the bricks, like through a latticework and bind the bricks together. Perhaps this plan has been pushed back a bit, as i do not think the Kruvios have the neccesary finesse for such work..."

"Knowing what i know about the operation of the Timepiece, it's use is likely to rob me of most of the time that would be spent on further advancements... However, after i am finished with the operation of the timepiece, i shall attempt to enchant another chunk of time crystal to act as a crude magical energy detector of intensity, by intensity of glow, and type, by color. I want to be able to detect small changes in magical fields, so i will focus on making it as sensitive as possible. Although, if this fails, it is a non-issue, so i will not put effort into it at the cost of the effort put into undoing my prior mistake."

((Wow, i actually rolled a 1... Welp, the roll can't get any worse than that so i'm just going to reroll that...

Also yay, the shortest action post i've ever made... Not that i'm proud of that...))

((Also, no the quality didn't suffer any, infact the writing has never been better IMO!))

Strik3r, would you be so kind as to repost your temolate, should people choose to use it? That'd be swell, but not necessary.
I don't think i ever made an explict template, and i just recommend people use mine as such and just adapt for themselves/ their own minions. It should be simple enough. But i can provide the widgets for everything in a following post.

Please post your sheets along with your post as Unraveller asks.

Abyssal End, the great wellspring.
Show them the folly of life, the end of all things.
Let those touched by darkness falter.
Let those who see the light be blinded.
Those touched by the abyss, draw those untouched down.
Let Apathy show their care, a Keep against all creation.
? questions you, will you fall or serve?


Using the pit they climbed as the targeted, followed by the Chrome Bits. And the fact the Mystic just gave away their position. Fire the laser of void! Let it's works crumble, to disappear into the Abyss.

Alright, here is the completed list of all the sheets and widgets, these ones also have no significant formatting, so they're less of a hastle to modify, if a bit less pretty. Please Quote-copy the appropriate one into your action posts and keep the section updated. Here's a small tip for making that easier, press 'Quote' on your previous action post and just erase everything except the character sheet section when making a new action.

Also, Unraveller... What is this? Lmao.

Holy shit this actually took a lot of work. They should all be correct, but the owners of their sheets, as well as you Unraveller, should look them over to ensure they are.
Please respect the work i put into making these as well as updating your Mystic's sheets, and include them with each action and keep them up to date yourself from here on out... Phew.
If i missed anything, you can probably correct it yourself. Feel free to re-format/ pretty it up however you want, just make sure you're able to update it...

! DO NOT QOUTE THIS POST IN FULL !

(( Aah you dummy, you didn't have to do all that dang work! I just wanted you to jot down the template. Well, regardless, thank you. I really do appreciate it. As for the pixel Falcons. . . Reading that is somehow the height of comedy for me. Lol, blame my cat. ))



(( Knightwing In a basic sense, Tric is mostly on point. The negative modifier Amon recieved based on the Throne is the hint, without trying to spoiler overmuch. It is, undoubtedly a vast conduit of all the magick of Creation, but that in of itself is arguably your undoing. You cannot alone wield such a power, nor tempt the fate of the Throne whose existence is an immutable one. You most definitely can still make use of it should you desire, nothing is stopping you, that +3 is quite good. Maybe just try and limit yourself from doing SO MUCH at once.

And of course notably is that you could seemingly get a negative roll on resisting it, which might not be something you wish to do. Hope that helps it not seem like it's picking on you. All of your actions could have succeeded, they were flat rolls, they just came out less than stellar. . .

Uh, it's also spelled out explicity should you read between the lines.

Tric Yeah! Sure, go qith something along the lines of Clesydros's musings, a vague feeling, though nothing so direct.

Side-side-side tangent; Like I said earlier, I don't mean to add load on to you all, but keeping good record of the sheets will only help me speed up my end, thanks!))

((Not that big a deal :)) I like it when stuff's in order. Plus from here on out it all should be simple to update for everyone. Also yeah, same on the pixel falcons front, i giggled like a maniac every time i saw it. Thankfully my cat isn't as eager to walk on my keyboard, although he does sometimes put his head uncomfortably close to the bottom row when sleeping on my lap.))

((Unraveller, please make this a reality, lets have a good 'ol beam clash, in fact lets make it a multi-turn protracted beam clash ;)))
