Turn 4 Results:I attempt to help Boksi by conjuring a very shiny Rubix Cube to distract the sword-wielding entity. None may withstand the distracting might of my shiny objects!
[2 + 1] – You summon a dull Rubik's Cube. You manage to distract the Shadow figure by hitting him with the cube. {+1 to Boksi's roll}
Am I to be assaulted by darkness taken shape?
Am I to be attacked by nothing with a form?
I say, nay. For nature abhors a vacuum and the very laws of physics demand that something create balance.
The brilliance of a million suns is what lights the darkness of space and lets us live, yet the suns are death as much as the emptiness. It is their balance, the flux in which they fight eternally, that created the cycle of life and death.
I shall maintain the balance thusly. Neither of us will survive this.
In each passing moment we change an infinitesimally small amount. I have died already, because I am now a new me.
I am an embodiment of change and sentience and I face an embodiment of stillness and death. What will arise will be something even greater.
TL;DR: I try to merge with the shadow dancer and create a sort of hybrid.
[3 + 1] – You run straight for the Shadow figure. It swings at you! [1] The figure has perfect aim, too. {-2 to damage} [6 - 2] You feel the sword cut through you, but it's immaterial. You feel like your heart is cut in two, but you manage to survive it. You punch your hand into the Shadow's stomach, and begin to merge... You almost remember that you're still holding Kashyyk.
Ok, new action then: I try to become a god of death.
[1 – 1] (
EPIC FAILURE) You fail at becoming anything. You nearly cease to exist for a second, but you're so unlucky that you don't manage to get that done, either. The voice rings out again. You are petrified and you feel as though anything you do will kill you. {Petrified: -4 to dodge, -4 to damage for this turn} {Doomed: -1 to all rolls}
Challenge 1:
Hmm, I ask Death why we are here. If possible I also imagine I am carrying a weapon. (As it is a metaphysical world, it should appear, right?)
[4] – You hold up your hand and a sword materializes in your hand. You suddenly realize that you have no idea how to use one. {-1 to accuracy, +1 to damage} For some reason your body starts to feel darker. You see the shadows start to swirl around you.
I climb through the hole
[2] – You move cautiously through the hole, only to get shoved through the hole by Frelock. You fly sideways for some reason, because the far wall seems to be the source of gravity. [4] You manage to flip yourself feet first, [3] but you act as a cushion for everyone else going through. {Winded: -2 to dodge, -2 to damage next turn, everyone else gains +1 to dodge and damage rolls while going through the hole this turn}
I go through the hole, trying to find the source of that voice (it has to be better than Akroma's).
[6] – You jump through the hole after shoving Akroma through, then you land on her [1 + 1] but you somehow manage to do that on your head {-1 to damage} [3 + 1 – 1] Luckily for you, Akroma softens the blow.
I go with Frelock and Akroma through the hole in the wall.
[3] – You jump in after Frelock [2 + 1] landing on Akroma on your back [1 + 1] and somehow managing to knock the wind out of yourself, as well as Akroma at the same time. Not that she wasn't already winded. {Winded: -2 to dodge, -2 to damage next turn}
I try to make something out of the shards of the old wall.
Preferably something weapon-like.
[2] – You pick up the pieces and start jamming them together. None of them really stick together though, except the ones that you accidentally jabbed into your skin.
NPC Actions:Shadow figure [1] – The Shadow figure fails to fight against Boksi's merging, causing Boksi, the Shadow figure, AND Kashyyk to merge into a single form. {Each turn, a roll decides who controls the form. If you try to do a physical action when you do not have control, you will get -3 to your roll. Also, since Kashyyk is currently unconscious, he will not make an effort to control the form until he is conscious}
Death [2] – Death rushes at Jay Kayell, but Kashyyk seems to get this immateriality down and teleports right in front of Death and swings with the his sword. [1] He manages to slice Death in two {-2 to damage}, [3 - 2] causing Death to disappear, leaving his scythe on the ground. Kashyyk picks it up. Both of them finally leave wherever they were. {Jay gets to keep his soul as a ghost. Kashyyk gets Death's Scythe (It appears when Kashyyk calls it when he's in control).}
Challenges:
Challenge 3: The RoomPlayers:
Akroma,
Frelock,
Dark, and whoever else makes it into the second room.
After everyone gets up, dark spots form on the walls. It starts slowly, then the spots grow darker. Frelock runs to the door and barely makes in before the spot turns completely black and a giant spike shoots through the wall. Several more turn black, causing more spikes to appear. The spikes cut off the door and Frelock from Akroma and Dark. More spots are forming...
