Indeedily I will do. I can't be sure I didn't miss anything, so read carefully.
------------
Turn 54 ------------
I rock hard and sing about these demonic loosers going to hell
| So… yeah, you do that. The monsters are unimpressed. They probably consider it a fitting choice of music.
| Short, thick black hairs grow all over your body. (-1 cha to anything non-hairy) Your skin starts to itch.
i'll make an electricity shield to protect me. or just to fry anyone near. maybe the second more than the first
| You concentrate your electricity powers around you, and the bolts of lightning that dance around your body suddenly thicken and form a close-fitting shell of streaming lightning. (+1 to hit and damage with your lightning shield, you don't receive drain unless it actually discharges)
I'll use my earth non-manipulation to first bury myself to the neck in earth, preferably tight enough to put out the flames, then tunnel into the cellar to get my damn ring. I've spent so many attempts to get it that I simply am not going to give up now.
| Before you can even start to try to do something, the second winged demon finally makes up his mind and attacks you by breathing fire!
| The cloud of flames engulfs you completely!
| You quickly drop and roll away, putting out all the fire that was on you. You don't suffer further damage.
"Man... I try to do a good deed by healing and what do I get?
In any case, I'll heal myself, learning to disregard pain as I go."
| The pain is too great to simply disregard it, but thanks to your prior training you manage to lessen it a little by fixing your broken arms and legs. You're still in too much pain to effectively move, and the damage you have received is still too great. (-2 to physical, -1 to mental and concentration)
I'll go fight the golems Kashyyk is dealing with.
| Bad move! Before you can move away, the first demon tries to attack you again, forcing you to remain in place.
I crawl into the debris and hide from enemies.
| You're still unconscious, but it feels more like a deep dream now.
I pick up a large rock and throw it at winged demon #1.
| Despite a shortage of rocks, you find a suitable replacement! You pick up a piece of a large wooden support from the collapsed tavern, and hurl it at the demon! You realise your mistake a split second later - the support is so big it'll hit korora and gantolandon as well!
| Miraculously, korora managed to notice the threat in time to hug the ground, and Gantolandon was barely missed by the support, but the demon did NOT expect something so large to be thrown at him so fast.
| The chunk of wood blew him away, breaking his arms he tried to shield with, and severely battering his entire body.
| He isn't too bothered by the damage, but his broken arms will surely hinder his attack capabilities.
I'll go get the last key from the poor dwarf and put it in it's keyhole.
| You walk over to the dwarf while the two golems are occupied by Kashyyk. As you try to pluck the key out of the dwarf's armor, the dwarf notices your attempts and weakly raises his hand, faintly pointing at something on his armor.
| You cannot discern what exactly he's pointing at from his movements, but you do notice that a set of very intricate embossed images surround the key. You suspect you have to do something with them to release the key.
I concentrate all my power in a single bolt, and hurl it precisely at the relic container LASD is holding, to break it!
| Kamehame HADOKEN!! You concentrate so hard the air around you starts to shift, and then you focus all your power in one powerful discharge aimed precisely at the relic container! A destructive ball of TK force, some three meters across, rips through the air, smiting the relic container, LASD, and the dwarf!
| The container is wrenched from LASD's hands and hurled against a large slab of stone fallen out of the keep! LASD himself manages to gather the strength needed to remain on the ground, and is sent tumbling along the ground along with the dwarf, receiving minor bruises and scratches.
| The added stress and pain from the tumbling makes the dwarf pass out. As your vision clears and you focus your sight on the container, you see it bent and broken, embedded in the slab of stone. Vivid, flickering green light streams through the cracks in the container.
I am annoyed by the golems. I throw both golems at Jay Kayell so he deals with them.
| You attempt a tour de force, grabbing both golems by their throats and trying to throw them. The golems prove far too heavy for you to throw, however, and they don't take kindly to your grabbing. They attack you!
| You release them and dive under the punch of the first one, but meet the kick of the second face-to-heel.
| You get a familiar feeling as your neck breaks again and your head tumbles off into the rubble. Your body remains motionless, in a crouched position.

NPC Actions:
Allied: Elica is a swordself. Recently hired by Frelock. He's armed with a wooden longsword, and dressed in (somewhat pierced and rather torn) green-grey close-fitting clothing with scarce leaf-shaped decoration. He has some large scars, and still some open wounds, but his life is not in danger.
Elica tries to use his clothing to bandage his open wounds.
| He tears his green shirt into wide strips and bandages his wounds. He's almost combat-capable now.
Enemy: First Keeper is dead. His key is taken. Second Keeper is dead. His key is taken. Third Keeper:{6-2=4} The dwarf manages to come to his senses.
Fourth Keeper is dead. His armor is taken with the key. Final Keeper is dead. His helmet's taken. Marksdwarf guard: status unknown Golem:{4} The largely incapacitated copper golem near Rooster bumps his head against Rooster's left leg. It doesn't leave a mark.
Golems:{5} Having dealt with Kashyyk, the golems turn their attention to Jay Kayell! Running up to him with all speed they are capable of, they bash JK with their heads!
| JK pays no heed to their feeble blows.
Tavern ratmen:{5} The ratmen suddenly burst out of the tunnel and assault andrea!
| He manages to react, throwing most away with his maul, and frying at least two with his new lightning shield. The remaining ratmen regroup in a corner and think over their next move.
Tavern batmen:{4} The last two batmen attack chaoticag!
| He's too tired from his blast to move away, and they knock him off his feet, punching and kicking him all the way!
| Chaoticag's armor protects him from the blows, but gets badly dented in the process.
Army of darkness:{5} For lack of a better target, all critters in the keep attack Rooster!
| Finding new strength in the excitement, Rooster leaps around the keep madly, easily avoiding the attackers.
Winged demon#1:{6} Enraged at receiving injuries, the demon goes all-out on Jay Kayell, breathing a massive cloud of flame!
| He's not quick enough to evade the flames,
| and is badly burned by the flame. The armor is now covered in flames, and the exposed areas of JK's body are in danger of being scorched.
Winged demon#2:{1} Upset by his unsuccessful attack, the demon flies up to wait some more, but hits a passing giant bat!
| He is barely bruised, but the giant bat with a broken neck falls dead to the ground.
Winged demon#3:{1} Completely confused by the dust, the demon slams into the ground!
| His body is battered and he probably received some internal damage, but he's far from out still.

"A massive, massive, MASSIVE sword. It is three meters long, 1'3'' (~40cm) wide, and dazzingly bright. Its fine steel has been polished to reflect light like a mirror. Its one edge is curved, jagged at the hilt, the other is straight and so sharp it could probably slice adamantine blocks like salami. Down the center of the sword, which is at least 2'' thick, runs a hollow slit 3'' wide, in which yeat another, smaller and straighter sword is concealed. The entire surface of both swords, except of course the sharp cutting edges, is finely engraved with uncountable images, among which the launching of the Challenger, world war II, a nuclear explosion, a trainwreck, and a rotary excavator. The hilt itself (being at the same time the hilt of the smaller sword) is decorated with gold and emeralds you can only assume you've taken from someone, arranged in beautiful patterns, and the handle is woven with three lines - one is a scaly snake with two small rubies in the eyes, and two seem awfully like DNA strands. You get a feeling you could decipher the human genome if you looked closely enough. The guard of the hilt is exquisitely detailed as well, but right down the senter of it, spanning the breadth of the sword, is a solid rectangular golden plate, with the single word: ""ASHCRAVER"" deeply embossed onto it. The entire thing is so immeasurably brilliant, you almost don't want to touch it fearing it'll stick to your hand and corrupt you like some magic ring. Overcoming this fear, you pick it up. Despite its size, it is relatively lightweight, relatively, of course, to anything else so large and made of steel.
The second form is a smaller (comparatively) blade, that together with the folding hilt guard looks like an overgrown sai. It's also exquisitely detailed, but lighter. (+1 to damage, -1 to agility).
The Ashcraver seems to accumulate the energy released by the deaths it causes. The process is admittedly rather slow, but has good uses."

---------
Environment:
Human/Dwarven Capital: Large city on the outskirts of hell knows where. Holds a modest amount of homes, from hovels to two-floor apartment buildings, a set of shops, a (destroyed)temple, and a (demolished)keep. Now overrun by an army of darkness.
Tavern: Was a two-floor building. Now it's a mangled ruin, thoroughly blasted apart. The building used to contain your enter/exit point, but how to use it is completely up to you now.
Food store: Square one-floor building with long tables laden with salted and fried meats of all kinds. There's a single wide table at the far end, with a chest on top of it. There's a mighty fine hole broken through the ceiling.
Cloth store: Rolls of cloth and various cloth, silk, and leather articles of clothing are on the many shelves inside this building. There's a single wide table at the far end, with a chest on top of it. The entire building is barely standing, most of its roof is collapsed. There's a pile of elf-paste near the building, and some elven corpses.
Armor store: Everywhere in the shop various pieces of armor are thrown about, shields of different sizes litter the floor, and arrayed under the now-broken shelves and tables are enough various boots to outfit a battalion. A large hole is broken through a side wall. The door is toen down. The building took several ballista bolts during the battle. At the far end of the building, there is a single wide table. The heavy chest is on the floor, broken, a large supplement of coins from it now covers the floor.
The Keep: Was once a tall, proud building. Now a mighty large pile of rubble. There is one (covered) pit in the center of the first floor, with something glowing below.
The Temple: Tall and proud, beautiful building of white marble, a solid first floor surrounded by columns is supporting several ring-shaped floors held up by beautiful marble supports. A deep pool of shiny, clear water can be seen inside the building. Well, it probably was like that. The entire thing has recently tried to rise up in mighty wrath as a gigantic statue of a carp, but failed miserably and broke to pieces. Afterwards, the overpowered Rooster single-handedly sent the whole place into oblivion along with the elves, who now cannot be seen, heard, or even smelled by anyone other than themselves.

Background: [6] You've practically seen everything there is to see here. The herd of monsters with the chief badguy is still keeping its distance from the tavern.
