 Finally, five turns worth of pigeon chatter. If I hadn't gone outside to water or started doing laundry, I would have had it before Rolan posted, possibly Dragnar and Stonemt.


I'm no poet. They're there... just make something up for them to sing.
  Alright. I doubt it will sound like they do. I can't seem to remember how many there are either... I'll go with two singers.


Leartes: "Reunion of half starting set,"
Mirrana:   "Sets airy battle's stage;"
Leartes: "But when summon'd have fully met,"
Mirrana:   "Time waits to turn a page."

L: "One traveled by these bless'ed seats,"
M:  "One did the same by game,"
L: "One traveled by some flying feats;"
M:  "And Malak is to blame."

M: "For fame, for fortune, or for fun,"
L:   "They hailed call; 'pirate maul!' "
M: "They came with books, came with bludgeons,
M:   They came with skills, and these 'pigeons',"
L:   "Then in place, all, they stall."

M: "A scroll is fret, a forge is set;"
L:   "A smith cast down in shame;"
M: "The clash not yet, a chatter duet"
L:   "Leaves things about the same."
M: "But mage aret, upon par'pet,"
L:   "The proof of beacon claim."

L: "With that sestet, the foe is met,"
M:   "To watch, to waft, to ware."
L: "Hands stay steady, ammo ready,
L:   Despite talk bready, and time eddy."
M:   "They want, they will; they war!"

(Continued on other post.)
(Note that whenever they refer to stagnancy in any way, it's in a kind of mocking, teasing tone. And yes, I know that lines 22 and 23 break the normal rhythm, but it isn't too jarring, is it? I mean, if they do this constantly, they have to switch more often than something like Rime of the Ancyent Marinere.)



Extreme indeed, another turn where one player's low roll kept another from overshooting. Not to mention unnaturally massive and destructive lightning bolts, but that's normal.
Yes, he could curse just about anything, so could you. But the anti-magic part came from the original enchantment on the ring.
While simultaneously blessing something else▬ (x20) [5] The ritual complete, you hold the glory of heaven in your right hand and horror of hell in your left; each as a small, gold coin.

 So, we're totally surrounded by hundreds of ships, our size or larger, made of pervasive nothingness and accordingly mostly invulnerable? Where did that nasty-skewed raw chaos go?

 [ ] I don't bother touching stairs or ladders as I rush back down to the solar cannon. As I find all it's edges and get familiar with its shape, I tell Legion "See if you can use that targeting information as dodging information! And try to get closer to that throne!" I then channel a morphic spell through the cannon, through the wood it's fused to, and through the entire ship's deck; crystallizing the wood into a veined, black surface , and making the cannon bright!

Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

[ ] I give SHAD0Wdump a nice, hard, mental slap to the face.
Yes... potentially undermine something that could be the deciding factor of this battle.

 Focus your efforts on not screwing me up!

 My goal is to use my action to force a change in yours. You're doing something that will take a great deal of time, and something that can't help us fight this thing. What would you suggest I do?

Back off before I hack the laser cannon to fire inwards.

 If we want hostilities, I will destroy your chariot.

But that doesn't undermine our situation like your action might, does it?

 So, you change your action to making the laser fire this turn on Legion, and I will change mine to destroying your chariot?

You are surrounded by more than ships. And why should a being of chaos be forbidden to use magic?

Also: most of the ships are smaller than yours. They are larger than most, but yours is just stupidly huge.

Quote from: Flintus10
Destroy as many of the smaller ships as possible.
[3+1] You release a storm of lightning bolts toward the closest ships. They are instantly destroyed, apparently lacking the protection the larger ship had.

Quote from: Jervous
Go to the kitchen and find my drake some meat then.
[4] You find some meat and feed it to your drake. It gulps it down before pushing past you into the kitchen, where it begins to devour everything in sight.

Quote from: stonemt
go there. ready to kill!
[4] You teleport to the point you sensed the being, and find yourself in an empty chamber, with the source of the plants in the center and a pair of humans next to it, conversing.

Quote from: SHADOWdump
Lets see... Dark battleships everywhere... Guy in chair...

I finally make use of my light artifact, infusing it with arcane material and priestly prayer, to create a great slayer of darkness.
 "Greatest deities in all your grace and wisdom, I stand here before an ultimate evil. I beg upon you to imbue this artifact with the power to slay this foul being, so that your reign as gods among the people of the six realms may continue."
[4+1] You hold up the Light artifact and pray to the gods. At first nothing happens, but after a few minutes the artifact begins to glow and you hear a voice from nowhere. "This being is not evil, but it is one half of that coin. We will grant you the power to strike it down, but you must not stop here. The other half will destroy everything if left on it's own." As soon as the voice stops speaking, the glow in your hands changes shape, stretching into the form of a huge lance. It does not gain any weight oddly.

Quote from: Nivm
I don't bother touching stairs or ladders as I rush back down to the solar cannon. As I find all it's edges and get familiar with its shape, I tell Legion "See if you can use that targeting information as dodging  information! And try to get closer to that throne!" I then channel a morphic spell through the cannon, through the wood it's fused to, and through the entire ship's deck; crystallizing the wood into a veined, black surface , and making the cannon bright!
[5+1] You begin to alter the composition of the entire ship as Legion begins flying toward the black throne, watching for any cannon fire from the battleships. You close your eyes and the wood around you begins to change, a wave of blackness flowing across the entire ship. Soon your spell is complete, and Legion is solid black, the cannon SHAD0W summoned being the only bright point on it. You still don't open your eyes though, and fall into a deep sleep the instant the spell is complete.
(Not quite sure what you wanted to accomplish with that. What sort of effect were you going for, beyond the aesthetics?)

Quote from: rolan7
Follow the demon, it seems to know something I don't.
[5] You see the demon prepare a spell and reach out to grab his arm. He doesn't seem to notice and an instant later you are teleported along with him.

Quote from: dermonster
Use Water/Blood manipulation to hold him in place. Have my tiger (If hes still with me) to move into a position of advantage in case of combat. Ask him what he's doing here.
[4+3] You bind the man with your magic and ask what he is doing here. "Hmm... not a bad spell. You have potential, though it seems it mostly comes from that artifact of yours. Those fools, chaos can not be beaten through brute force. You have to remove the source instead... Leave me, soon I shall control half the planes, and I will be able to restore balance."

Quote from: Battleships
Attack!!!
[6][5+1] The Battleships open fire on Legion, raining cannonballs on it. They don't manage to land more than a few glancing blows, Legion's  enhanced hull and evasive maneuvers preventing them from doing any real damage.

Chaos effects(for my reference mostly):
Fire: Mutant monster.
Water: living chaos.
Earth: Corrupted land.
Air: Demon pirates.(a more active side of chaos: Random smashing!)
Darkness: None.
Light: ???

Well... lets see what this thing can do...

I get in my chariot, and fly towards the man in the chair, intending to strike him with the lance.

The source!
Dragonfire the source of the shadows.  Those cultists or whatever will never stop me in time!
Scorch the source!  Kick it up to three, and be prepared for anything (particularly throwing)
