I join the shadow queen. We must protect this portal.
In other words, I join the shadow queen and attempt to kill Frelock
The area around me is considered dark, and the area around him is considered bright, so we should cancel each other out.
[3] – You run all the way down the hall and jump into the portal.
I order my army to bring me the Dewprism! I also help them fight any remaining shadows near it.
[6] – You start attacking the Shadows while your army retrieves the knife. You jump on the face of one Shadow. (+2 to accuracy) [3 + 2 + 1] You aim your stinger right for its face! (+2 to attack) [3 + 2 + 1] You skewer it through the face. It explodes in black! Some more latches onto your armor.
Scorpion Army
[1] – Your army tries to retrieve the knife, but the Shadows seem to frighten them.
I grab onto the Shadow Queen so that Frelock has an easier time cutting her up!
[3] – You try and hold the Shadow Queen back, but she shoots some spikes out of herself. [2] Since you're trying to hold onto her, they're hard to dodge. (-1 to damage) [1 – 1] (
EPIC FAILURE!) They stab into you, puncturing your lungs. You fall to the ground. {Critical Bleeding: Roll to survive, Roll to control, -2 to control checks, -2 to all damage rolls} {Winded: -2 to dodge, -2 to damage next turn}
I strike down the Shadow Queen with my glowing knife, seeking revenge for her attempts to attack me (go padlock!). The shadows will fall! Light will prevail!
[5 + 1] – You run at the Shadow Queen. She's slightly distracted stabbing Dark, and you manage to get right next to her before she notices. (+2 to damage) [5 + 2] (
EPIC OVERSHOT!) She can't seem to move out of the way! (+3 to damage) [2 + 3 + 1] You cut the Shadow Queen in two. The two pieces liquify and flow back into Akroma. You hear a faint whisper saying, “I have only partially succeeded...”
I turn back around and moonwalk back towards the portal from whence I came, hopefully popping back into that room, and I'll attempt to... hm... punch the shadow queen in the ribs.
[5] – You moonwalk back into the portal just in time to see the Shadow Queen disappear, so instead you punch Akroma in the gut! [3]/[4 + 2] She grabs your fist right as you get close, twists your arm behind your back, and smashes your face into the floor. [2] You have little time to react, (-1 to damage) [6 – 1] but you manage to roll out of the way of hitting anything important.
Good, we seem to be winning the war.
I focus very hard on conjuring up a special mop, with the strands made out of unicorn hair. That should be able to fight shadow puddles, right?
[6 + 2] (
EPIC OVERSHOT!) - You concentrate on a mop of unicorn hairs that will soak up the black puddles. You hear another *POP* and before you lies... a washcloth? It's smooth, softer than silk. It's so white that it seems to be glowing. As it falls to the ground, Kashyyk manages to catch it.
I'll just pop around to wherever it is that Dark, Frelock, Akroma and the Shadow Queen are fighting, and help whichever side is losing.
[1] – You just stand there, looking really weird.
I charge over to the knife and attack the shadow figures while JK's army get the knife. I also ask some of them to help me fight the shadows aswell, if possible.
[6] – You rush at the Shadows, slicing at the first one! (+2 to accuracy) [2 + 2] You manage to hit it! [6] He turns into a puddle.
I bake some of the shadow beings with flames from my hands.
[6] – You throw flames at the last of the Shadows. (+2 to accuracy) [1 + 2] They don't have much time to dodge. [4 + 3] (
EPIC OVERSHOT!) They explode, leaving flaming black puddles behind.
NPC Actions:Cavemen [5] – The Cavemen try and light their spears on fire with some of the first from the black puddles. [1] They only manage to fall in themselves
Black Puddles [4] – The puddles take over some of the cavemen!
Challenges:
Challenge 5: The Shadow WarPlayers:
Kashyyk,
Frelock,
Jay Kayell and anyone else who enters the canyon room.
Some of the cavemen are being engulfed in black. Some of the cavemen are being controlled by the black puddles.
Challenge 6: The Darkening WorldPlayers:
Everyone!
The lady in the painting tells you everything you want to know. The only problem is that she says it in the form of a poem.
“The safest way is yet unclear,
Though travel must you close to here.
Though portals be some of the mirrors,
Some will reflect your deepest fears.
A war will broke out very soon.
And then you'll have until the moon
Reaches its prime, its fullest light,
To end the Shadows and their blight.
For if you fail, the world goes dark,
Where light will never leave a mark.”
You have sometime between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM tonight to stop them. Rounds now take ten minutes each. When the time reaches 8:00 PM, a random number out of the remaining ten minute intervals will be chosen. If it is 1, the Shadows will have won. Good luck. It is now 7:30 PM.
Challenge 7: Lost His WayPlayers:
Frelock,
Dark,
Akroma,
sonerohi, and everyone inside the mirrors.
Frelock wanders around the mirrored hallway he seems to be in. The mirrors don't seem to reflect anything, while Dark walks with him, staring into the mirrors, watching him go by. As Frelock walks down the hallway, he looks into one of the paintings. It's a picture of him, oddly enough, pointing down the hall. The mirrors have started exploding. There is a man and some dark red writing on the wall. Akroma is blocking a white portal out of the world.

The old walls, as well as chest fragments, are now scattered all over the room. There is a hole in one of the walls, big enough to fit a person through.
The barred hall (the first hall):There is still a strange humming in the hall. The door is slightly broken. There are a set of bars that cuts the hall in half. Some of the bars are cut.
The gravity room (the second room):Gravity seems to be shifted in this room. Oddly enough, there is a door on the wall that would normally be the floor of the first room. It is broken down. The voice seems to have stopped.
The canyon room (the room beyond the first hall):The room is a big open area, seemingly without a ceiling. The floor extends for some distance, then a gap appears, with more floor on the other side. There are cavemen on the the entrance side of the canyon, attacking the Shadows. There are puddles of black stuff on the ground in various places. On the side nearest the entrance is Nurir Torir's knife.
The mirrored hall (hall after the second room):This hall is made completely of mirrors, except for the occasional painting. One of the paintings has a giant rip in it. It is blank. Dark and Frelock seem to be walking inside the mirrors. Some of the mirrors are shattered. There is a glowing hole that is a portal.
