Heh. If there's one thing that likens this RTD to Dwarf Fortress, it's the similarity of the definition of "once complete". :P

Btw, I'm starting a sort of a proper character profile thing for the game.

For example, this is a picture of Boksi, taken through a state-of-the-art prototype Sony Invisivision camera, shortly before he smashed it.


edit: hm, a little too dark without proper coloring. Alright, let's see if I can add some.
edit2: done.

I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

Oh. I thought a halberd was the sort of sword Meta Knight uses in SSBB.

NAh. A halberd is a combination polearm and axe. Hard to use, but a very effective weapon. Metakight's ship is called the Halberd, so I can see why you were confused.(his sword is called galaxia)

Technically that picture doesn't qualify as a halberd though. It has to has a spear point on top. Ex:

Yes, this here is technically a poleaxe. It still has a sharp tip for stabbing though. So, meh. I like the design. :)

Btw, who else remembered that Boksi still wears a full helm shaped like an anvil?

Also, god that coloring looks awful. Especially compared to some other character images I made. Refurbishment time! :D

Alright, no sense waiting for those two any longer.

The pictures this turn are only 3. I couldn't draw what I wanted for the fourth one, so left just those I managed. Apologies in advance for silly attempts at humor. :)

Turn 178

Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

----------------      
Wayside V, temporary camp some distance north of Andrea's Furnace      
      
   Having dealt with the last Elemental, the group relaxes a little. Korora looks on with interest as Jay Kayell examines the guy he's just blinded, and shakes his head disappointedly.    
      
   "Nah, this one won't do."   
   "Well, you shouldn't have cooked him so much if you prefer him rare."   
   "Oh, ha ha. Keep it up and you'll blow a humor circuit."   
   "Well, if it's the armor you want, that one over there is just a little shot up."   
      
   They walk over to the other clanner together, and Jay gives him a look-over as well.   
      
   "Now this one looks workable. Can you help me get 'im out?"   
   "Sure thing. I'm not really into undressing my action figures though."   
   "Dammit Korora, I thought turning into a machine should have a different effect on one's personality."   
   "What, you'd prefer if I acted more KILL ALL HUMANS -like?"   
   "...   Actually, forget I said anything. Let's just drag this dead meat out of his armor."   
   "Affirmative. Hm, I should've built an artifact Swiss Army Knife instead. Could really use a can opener here..."   
      
      
      
   While the two are at it, Janna remains at the unconscious Elemental's side, and decides to vent her anger on the helpless opponent. She kicks and pummels the Elemental repeatedly, dimly aware that she's not actually doing any harm to the battle armor but going on nevertheless. She keeps at it until the Elemental suddenly jerks up, screaming in pain and rolling over onto his face, flailing his limbs wildly. He seems completely incapacitated, unable of coherent actions at the moment, but Janna still takes a few steps back - even devoid of jets and weapons, that armor could pack a mean punch if it ever landed a hit. Nearby, Frelock decides to lift off, not intent on hearing the bloodcurling screams any longer than strictly necessary, and heads north. He clearly sees Rooster and the giant bat in the sky, converging on something that could very well provide the distraction he needed so much.   
      
      
      
   Both the Giant Bat and Rooster circled above the clan mechwarrior, unable to decide how to act. Neither the clanner nor Kashyyk have moved a muscle since one discovered the other, resulting in a very odd situation that even threw Neo off his stride when he finally approached. The clan pilot only briefly glanced at Neo, but quickly set his eyes on Kashyyk again. It almost looked like the two were trying to stare each other into submission. Someone had to break the stalemate up. And Rooster did.   
   Flapping his wings wildly, Rooster accelerates towards the clanner! But, instead of coming down on him with a literal flying kick, Rooster suddenly loses control in midair and comically tumbles to the ground, landing straight between Kashyyk and the pilot. When he looks up again, neither of them moved still. Only Neo grinned openly.   
      
   "Well, birdey man, ye suure know how ta make a landin' o' yeself. Check 'em out, still not movin' an inch. They paralyzed or somethin'?"   
      
   Suddenly, Frelock descends behind the clanner in his force bubble, one hand open towards the clanner, the other firmly pressed against his head. "No. Not both. Just he." With a little strain visible on his facial muscles, Frelock sends another command, and the clanner immediately drops his whip and lies down. Neo is impressed. "Well now, ain't that a handy trick. Next thing ye know, ye'll be pushin' up starfighters and deflectin' lasers blindfolded. Now can ye make the other guy move? His mannequin act's creepin' me out."   
      
      
      
   Back at the "camp", or what could be considered one, Qwer'Ty still lies on the ground, too tired to move - but not too tired to think. Suddenly a concerned face looms over the sky. Upon closer inspection, LASD's face.   
      
   "Need help?"   
   "No. Not really. Unless you can think up thirty-six more ways to use this here reactor for beneficial purposes."   
   "You thought up thirty-six ways of using this thing?"   
   "No, I thought up sixty-four ways. If you think up thirty-six more, it'll be a whole hundred."   
   "Well... you could... uh... power something with it?"   
   "Nice. That's number two on my list."   
   "Huh. You, uh, could maybe hook it up to something so it overheats, and leave it in the middle of the enemy base. Howsat?"   
   "That's number one."   
   "Damn. Well, what more could you do with it?"   
   "Dry clothes. Mold soft metals. Use as decoy for heatseeking missiles. Use as counterweight for a giant trebuchet. Use as ammo for an even more giant trebuchet. Cook pizza. The sky's the limit, man."   
   "Heh. How about a warm seat for Korora?"   
   "And that's sixty-five! One hundred or bust, we're making it happen!"   
------------      
Background:   [3]: Through a combination of incredible effort of will and (no doubt) divine intervention, Zako suddenly finds that he is in complete control of his body. Extremely so, as he finds that his body will no longer regenerate on its own. While this may still have some severe repercussions for him later, at the moment he is very happy to have achieved what he did.

With Korora's help, Jay Kayell succeeds in putting on the Elemental armor. To his surprise, the armor eagerly accepts him and he's able to control it with no problems once he's able to get comfortable with the coating of various bodily fluids on the armor's inside. Developing the armor's full potential could take some time, but even as it is it'll prove very useful.

Tell everyone to look away then shapeshift into snake form. Then fly high enough to see the incoming craft and how far away it is.

Zako, you lost involuntary shapeshifting, as well as voluntary shapeshifting. You wanted extreme control, you got it.

Also: Flood barrier. :) New forum game!
