Turn 7

Spoiler: crazyabe (click to show/hide)

CONTINUE TO PLAY DEAD.

[2]

The pain finally gets to you.  You moan in anguish.  Luckily, the three Swordmasters are currently dueling on the ground and are out of earshot.

Name: Blade Itself
Description: A flesh-thing dressed in a plastic shower curtain re-tailored into a kimono.
Wounds: Heavy Bleeding, Damaged Abdominal Muscles, Damaged Stomach, Damaged liver, ON FIRE
Swords: none
Items: Letter Opener, Meat Cleaver, Sharpened Fountain Pen

Gouge out the chainsaw priest's eyes with my thumbs. Unspoiler turn.

[5]

You launch yourself at him, sticking your thumbs into his eye sockets and prying them out. 

[Roll To Dodge Chainsaw Flailing: 5]

You easily avoid the panicked waving-about of his chainsaw that results. 

[ON FIRE roll: 5]

-ON FIRE increased by one, now two

The fire slowly spreads across your body

Spoiler: Imp (click to show/hide)

I presume this is where ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS and I are intended to be right now, and now ready for combat, ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS in my hand and ready, I maintain situational awareness in all directions and move to see what this combat around the corner is about, ready to retreat or proceed, very ready to defend, but still connected to ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS and believing it helps me to already know what to do.

[4]

You see two remarkable individuals fighting.  One is absurdly buff and wreathed in flames, and the other one is skinny and has four giant spectral arms coming out of their back. 

[1 vs 3]

The buff one trips getting socked in the face by the skinny one. 

Spoiler: VermilionSkies (click to show/hide)

This is... not ideal.
Try and sculk around in the fallen containers, and see if I can find anything valuable to steal while they're looking for me.

[6]

You search around, and feel something calling to you.  You move towards it and find an old, dilapidated FLYING FLOWER PETALS.  It will require some meditation to bind yourself to it, though. 

[Roll To Dodge Discovery: 5]

You hear them shouting, and moving towards the end of the warehouse opposite from where you are.  They haven't found you yet. 

Spoiler: King Zultan (click to show/hide)

"What nasty people."
Look around for any kind of clean looking cloth I can use for bandages.

[6]

You find a ready supply of clean cloth.  Unfortunately, it comes in the form of a rather appalled magistrate's robes, which you tear apart and make into bandages. 

[Bandaging Roll: 3]

You manage to staunch some of the blood.  Remove one of the Bleedings from your sheet.

Meditate with PREDICT STUBBORN WILDERNESS

PREDICT STUBBORN WILDERNESS

Miracles: Produce emotions in wild animals, track animals and plants, make plants grow, make plants and animals tougher and longer lasting

SUPER MOVE: PREDICT STUBBORN WILDERNESS sends PREDICT STUBBORN WILDERNESS's wielder into a meditative trance, causing bark to form and strengthen the skin of PREDICT STUBBORN WILDERNESS's wielder, and making them far harder to move or harm unless they want it to happen.

Retrieve KILL CHOP DELUXE from the other's body and use KILL CHOP DELUXE'S SUPER MOVE to chop the priest into ribbons and bathe in copious amounts of his blood to extinguish myself.
Unspoiler.

[VermilionSkies]

Get my paws on FLYING FLOWER PETALS, before absconding from the warehouse to find a safe place to meditate upon it.

Spoiler: SHEET (click to show/hide)

Name: Telcan
Description: That’s an orange cat. A orange cat with a scabbard. And a sword.
Wounds: Minor grazes.
Swords:

IMPAWSIBLE YET UNDENIABLE
Miracles: Limited ranged telekinesis (with cat paw strength/fine manipulation ability), make cat noises appear out of nowhere, make someone believe something utterly impossible until confronted with its impossibility, make nobody in a room verbally contradict you.
SUPER MOVE: IMPAWSIBLE YET UNDENIABLE causes you to make a truly putrid cat pun, which causes those who hear it to reel out of sheer disgust and lose some ability to defend themselves as they retch because of your pun.

FLYING FLOWER PETALS
Miracles: ? ? ?
SUPER MOVE: ? ? ?

Items: A feline-sized scabbard.

[King Zultan]

Quickly run away before he calls the law and search for a doctor that can heal my wounds.

Name: Swordhaver McHasasword
Description: A bearded man wearing a large hat and a trench coat, nothing suspicious about him, nothing at all.
Wounds:
- Collarbone Wound: -1 to hit rolls
- Bleeding: If you gain two more Bleedings, a Heavy Bleeding, a Grievous Bleeding, or four extra Light Bleedings, you die.
- Thigh Wound: -1 to movement rolls

Swords:
DEFINITELY NOT GUN
Miracles: make people fixated on any sword they see, make people go into a gun-hating frenzy, make people agree with you on one thing until they have cause to disagree with you again, find the nearest gun, have people hide guns in your presence
SUPER MOVE: DEFINITELY NOT GUN turns into any one thing you choose that is not a gun for a duration depending on its complexity and combat usefulness.  If the thing is expendable, DEFINITELY NOT GUN reappears in your hand after you use it.  For instance, a ballista or a grenade would only last a few seconds, a car or a drill would last a few minutes, and a shovel would last a few hours.  The cooldown restarts when the item turns back. 

Items: Sawn-off Shotgun, shotgun shells, Sword Cleaning kit that has a secret compartment to hide the shotgun inside.

[Imp]

Spoiler: Imp's action (click to show/hide)

I watch this unusual fight, ready to defend myself if I somehow end up affected or attacked by anyone, and use ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS to try and predict what each combatant is about to do next.

- example miracles:  Never let you forget anything, make someone remember something, write secret messages that are only visible to those you choose, plant a fake but very very plausible memory in someone's head

Items: Two coils of strong cord, one thin and longer, one thicker and even stronger, but shorter.  A toolkit with a wide range of tools, including what might be used to cook, polish, carpenter, carve, locksmith, sow, and a range of other general-purpose use tools.  A samples kit with various materials and fluids , such as glues, solvents, acids, buffers, dyes, a few swatches of several different kinds of fabric, 10 small pieces of uncommon woods, 10 small pieces of uncommon minerals.

See if anyone needs my help.

Just waiting on crazyabe.

HOPE THAT BEING A SWORDMASTER CONFERS SOME REGENERATION THAT I CAN KICK IN ABOUT NOW, GIVEN I'M FUNCTIONALLY 3/4THS IN THE GRAVE.

Spoiler: SHEET (click to show/hide)

Name: Genhov von Clubenstein
Description: A fat and sloven man who would not easily be mistaken for a SWORDMASTER if not for the excessive brace of scabbards and sheaths braced across his body.
Wounds:
- Face Wound: -3 to social interaction rolls
- Right Body Paralyzed: Any actions involving the right side of your body automatically fail
- Left Eye Lost: -1 to all aiming rolls, or visual rolls involving depth perception
- Cerebral Trauma: -2 to all thinking or mental actions

- Critical Damage: If you lose hold of NOT A SWORD, you die
Swords:
NOT A SWORD
   Miracles: can behave as a nonmagical, simple tool (no moving parts), can turn invisible, can turn incorporeal, lets you convince anyone you choose that you are completely unarmed and harmless.
   SUPER MOVE: NOT A SWORD phases partially into nothingness for a few swings, allowing its user to choose what affects it and what it passes right through.  Additionally, in this state NOT A SWORD becomes much sharper, sharp enough to hack through even other magic swords with a few swings. 
Items: Clothes, 101 assorted scabbards and sheaths

[BlackPaladin99]

Turn was in the works, then something happened with the internet and I lost it.  Turn coming. 

[BlackPaladin99]

I am gonna have to call this on hiatus.  momentum is important to me for games like this, and I kinda lost that.  I also got way too busy IRL to continue.  I think it made it more difficult that I had the party split immediately on arrival.  I like this setting and definitely plan to do more with it in the future. 

What did you guys think?

[VermilionSkies]

I enjoy the concept, yeah!
I think PvPvE is a bit too... loose? To keep the game running well, though.

[Egan_BW]

Is it really PvP if I never run into any players by accident, and can't run into them on purpose because their location is secret?

[BlackPaladin99]

That’s fair.  So you’re saying that the turns shouldn’t be spoilered? 

[crazyabe]

It was interesting, on the other hand I spent most of the game functionally dead.


In other news- 500 internal server error.

[King Zultan]

I enjoyed it while it lasted, it was fun to get into a fight then almost die and have to try to fix myself.
