In that case, I brace myself, so I can proficently deal with the comming onslaught.
[2] You try and brace yourself for oncoming attacks, but you're not really sure what they'll do. So you whip out your parasol and open it at Frelock. [2] He's barely phased by the reflected light, being as he's made out of it.
Ah, then I'd better change my action.
I kill the shadow cavemen with the help of my army.
[5] You rush the cavemen and start attacking the ones covered in black.
Scorpion Army
[3 - 1] Your army is less inclined, as they still consider them Shadows.
I'm guessing that since Akroma is either a ghost or made out of pure shadows (the phase through thingy) that I'm the only one that can stop her rampage. So...
Ignoring my flesh wound, I'll use my new mysteriously ghostiness to engage Akrom in a wrestling match, preferably of the thumbs.
[1] You rush Akroma, but as you are about to hit her, the Shadow Queen stops you. It seems she is just as ethereal as you are. She launches a few ghostly spikes at you! [6]/[3 + 1] You manage to avoid them. You then try to punch the Shadow Queen. [2]/[4 + 2] You don't even get close. This goes on for some time.
I wipe away all the rest of the puddles, if there are not any left I wip the black dtuff off of all the cavemen/scorpion soldiers I can find.
[3] You start to wipe away all the remaining puddles. You manage to wipe up a few, before...
I hurl fireballs at the black puddles.
[6 + 3] (
EPIC OVERSHOT!) You propel yourself into the air and start chanting. Ka...me...ha...me...HA! You launch a giant stream of fire at all the puddles. They evaporate in a horrible hissing noise. Unfortunately, this also sets the whole room on fire! [Kashyyk: 3], [Jay Kayell: 5 1 + 1], [Scorpion Army: 5], [Cavemen: 3], [Shadow Cavemen: 2] Jay Kayell manages to crawl along the walls of the room, followed closely by his army. Everyone else is slightly engulfed in flames. [Kashyyk: 6], [Cavemen: 3], [Shadow Cavemen: 3 - 1] Death's Scythe appears in Kashyyk's hand! He can't seem to feel the fire around him. The Cavemen and Shadow Cavemen are not so lucky, burning up in the fire. {Shadow Cavemen and Cavemen roll to survive, Shadow Cavemen -1 to survival}
Dark
[5] You try and sucker punch Akroma in the kidney. (+1 to accuracy) [3 + 1]/[Akroma: 1 + 2] Akroma doesn't see it in time! [2]/[Akroma: 3 + 2] Your hand only turns darker, but at least you distract Akroma enough to help Frelock. {+1 to Frelock's accuracy and damage this turn}
I infuse my knife-arm with holy light and smite Akroma in the side.
(If this succeeds, I can finally say I smote someone).
[5] You can't seem to infuse it with holy light, but your Swiss Army Hand does glow! You attack Akroma while she's distracted. (+1 to accuracy) [6 + 1 + 1]/[Akroma: 1 + 2] (
EPIC ACCURACY!) You manage to appear right at Akroma's side, ready to attack! (+3 to damage) [4 + 3 + 1]/[Akroma: 6 + 2] (
EPIC... TIE?) Akroma grabs the knife just as it is about to stab her. Light and Shadow mix in a sort of chaotic blend. It grows uncontrolled, expanding exponentially from its source.
Chaos Roll
[Akroma: 3], [Frelock: 4], [Dark: 5], [sonerohi: 5], [Shadow Queen: 5]
The area turns bright. Akroma disappears into the chaotic nothingness, as well as Frelock. Dark shields his eyes from the brightness, only opening his eyes after the brightness disappeared. Akroma and Frelock are nowhere to be seen. sonerohi is blinded by the chaos, as well. When he is able to see again, he finds that the Shadow Queen is no longer in sight.
Hey, a non-shiny amulet, lying on the ground, completely unprotected. I use my ghostly teleport skill to get back to the canyon room teleport near Boksi. I then focus very hard on using my conjuration skill to summon the amulet near the Dewprism. I wonder what'll happen if Boksi strikes the amulet with it. If not, at least it'll be away from Akroma.
[6 + 2] (
EPIC OVERSHOT!) - You teleport next to the running Boksi and conjure forth the Shadow Amulet. It appears... around Boksi's neck! The amulet starts to turn his skin black!
Hmmm. I stab one of the mirrors with dewprism. I wonder what I'll hit if I get a good roll?
[6] You continue running to the mirrored hallway. You manage to make it into the first room and jump into the gravity room, levitating down to the ground. You take another step and suddenly see an amulet around your neck. It's icy cold, and starts to turn your skin darker. You try to yank it off, but it feels heavy in your hands. You see some liquid metal flow along the walls, and into your body. The knife in your hand burns incredibly, so you throw it into a mirror. It stabs into one, slicing it down the middle as it falls. You then hear a young, feminine voice:
All hail the Shadow King!NPC Actions:None
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. They are now starting to attack the other cavemen.
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 7:50 PM.
Challenge 9: Light and Dark?Players:
Frelock and
AkromaFrelock and Akroma both appear in a black and white world. Frelock is slightly faster than Akroma at adjusting to the new world, and is able to get to Akroma. He raises his Swiss Army Knife Hand and swings, only to freeze within centimeters of her face. Frelock and Akroma can't seem to move, as if somebody had frozen them both.
A voice rings out, The key and the lock are now present, but where is the door?
Another voice answers the first, I thought the door was on its way.
The first voice replies, It's impossible now. The key is changed. It's been warped.
Second voice: What about the wisher? He might be able to make a new key.
First: No. It'd never work.
Second: The whole set is messed up. We may need to start all over.
First: There seems to be a new lock forming... Odd.
Second: And the key to that one is clearly untainted.
First: I suppose, but there's hardly any time.
A new third voice sounds out. What do we do with these ones?
First: Hmm... We'll let them fight it out. Whoever survives will be allowed back into the zoo.
Reality seems to begin letting you move again. Akroma pushes out of the way of the knife and stands up.
Challenge 10: The Shadow KingPlayers:
BoksiBoksi, now wearing the Shadow Amulet, starts to turn darker. He starts to hear a voice speak:
