HEY DIGITAL! GODDAMMIT PICK YOUR EXP!
Also, for those with dragonhide, it will bugger you over double if you try to cast a spell on yourself: once because it blocks you from casting magic, and once because it 'protects' you from spell. Even Muwahahaha is going to have some trouble getting around the 'protection' thing.
Inaluct:
You explain the situation to your golem, convincing it that everything is fine. Then, right in front of it, you sit down a start trying to craft your plastic block into a projectile weapon.
{} You make a PPP: a plastic projectile propeller. It's... a tube... of plastic... with a launching mechanism inside. Basically, anything you can fit down the tube can be launched as if from a crossbow.
{} YOUR GOLEM GOES BERSERK!
{} It attacks you!
{} {} {} The golem punches your right arm, and tears it off!
Muwahahaha:
You attempt to mutate your new dragonhide skin to be harder.
{} Your skin is now harder! Not quite as hard as your old adamantine tissue, but still pretty damn good. You also scream to the heavens, "LET THERE BE DODGING! 0/1!"
Digital Hellhound:
{} You conjure a fireball a toss it at Orc2.
{} {} {} The flying Fireball hits the Orc2 in the left leg! It is harmed! It is now a ‼leg‼!
Zasit Alebath:
{} You attack Orc1.
{} {} The orc, while standing on one leg, deflects your attack with its choppa! Some berserker you are.
Katsuun:
You ask Muwahahaha for some of his DNA, and he plucks out an eyelash and lets it fall to you. You catch it, and
{} yell "EWW! YOUR EYELASH IS SCALY!" You throw it in the general direction of your water elemental.
{} The eyelash hits the water elemental, right in the eye! The water elemental now has an eyelash. You order it to attack Orc2,
{} and it does!
{} {} It extends its arm, and the orc blocks it and sends the punch flying back at KWE!
{} {} {} The Water Elemental's punch bounces off its watery self and back towards the orc again!
{} {} {} {} The water elemental bruises the orc's right arm.
Luke_Prowler:
You want to pick up your old armor and store it in your backpack,
{} but why the hell would you do that? You take the troll's dragonhide armor and put that in your backpack instead (I'd been going to make you pick something metal up, but this way I can get the troll out of the status page). You draw your sword with your free hand and- wait- you don't have a free hand!
{} And you don't really feel like fighting with the HippySpear right now.
KnightedSkull:
You close the door. Since the others don't seem to be doing a whole helluva lot to the orcs, you try to help by
{} smiling encouragingly at them.
Errol:
{} You teleport behind orc3, ambushing it!
{} You capitalize on your advantage, and attack!
{} {} {} Your chop the Orc3's head off! Then you ditch your halberd and
{} forget to pick up the orc's halberd.
Orc1 makes a witty remark about 'true berserkers', takes its chainmail off, and
{} attacks Zasit!
{} {} {} The Orc1, against all odds, breaks three of Zasit's ribs!
Orc2
{} fights back against Katsuun's Water Elemental.
{} {} {} KWE's right arm is mangled!
Ace-Ace the Ace of Spades shakes his head, mutters "Amateurs," and
{} performs Kage Bushin no Jutsu! There are now two extra copies of the king.
{} The first copy casts Death Ray on Orc1!
{} The Flying Death Ray hits the Orc1! It is killed! The first King's Copy dissapates. The second copy
{} aims at the Orc2's head, and attacks it with the sceptre!
{} {} {} The Orc2's head goes flying like a golf ball, ricocheting seven times off various walls and pillars, before flying at
{} Inaluct! Inaluct rolls to dodge!
{} The Flying Orc2's head passes right through the space where Inaluct's arm would be if it was still attached to his body.
The King completely ignores the fact the Inaluct's enraged golem is still a threat, and addresses all of you. "There's a cave, about one day's walk to the northeast. Go there and kill Sraxxakex, the Blue Dragon. If you do it, you can have money... or cool equipment... or some such cliche thing that adventurers usually want. Bye." He waves at you in dismissal, and then teleports away, presumably to go do kingly stuff.

You know the drill. If I buggered up, complain about it and I give you a free exp. Digital and Luke both have 1 free exp to spend.
Oh, and I changed the descriptions of the elemental magics around. I'm not gonna lie, I just kinda threw them together before. Also, to balance stuff out, once you hit competent in a weapon skill, you get two different +1s... one for starting the action, and another one for accuracy or damage or something. Plus, having good weapon skills will change the stats of your techniques a bit (for example Zasit can now use his backhanding manuever once every 2 turns instead of 3).
