Sargoth pretends to consider the offer for a moment, then steps forward, casting a spell that turns his fist to stone, and pummels the puppet demon's face with it, "Not interested."

Turn 27: Elven Dance of Seduction

Quote from: Tarran

Sacrifice my sunstone gem to Immin.

[1][Luck 3] You figure breaking the sunstone is the proper way to sacrifice it, and so bash the statue with the hilt of your sword. Uh... you're really more accustomed to fighting with the opposite end. No obvious sign of divine wrath manifests, and you've still got your sunstone.

Quote from: Flagrarus

Reverse-energize the demon. When he is weakened by this, break his grip on my throat.

[5-1][Luck 4] You properly suck the life out of the demon, but... the spell slips right off it. Does it not have any life to suck out?
+3 Plant
New Spell: Root Draw

Quote from: RandomNumberGenerator

Forgoing magic, dance furiously in an attempt to create rain. May or may not involve divinities or some kind of spirit.

[1-2][Luck 6] Your Elven Dance of Seduction amazes the humans. Er, it's not raining though. Oops.
+1 Dancer

Quote from: wolfchild

Skip the intermediatery, look back over what i have seen of earth magic and attempt to free my comrades from the monolith myself

[4-2][Luck 4] You fail to properly mold the solid rock away as you intended. At least nothing goes wrong.
+1 Earth Magic

Quote from: Frelock

Well...cure light wounds on myself.

[4+2][Luck 2] You overchannel the spell, but it lacks focus and accomplishes little.
Receive minor healing. Still lightly injured.
Recover from blindness.

Quote from: HmH

I get out of rocks and try to cast Dispel on demon.

[2] You strain uselessly against the rocks pinning you, but it hurts to put too much pressure against them. [5][Luck 4] You fire off a superb minor dispel against the rock you figure the demon is behind, but it just dissipates. Oh well.
+3 Enchanting
New Spell: Minor Dispel

Quote from: Paranatural

Sargoth pretends to consider the offer for a moment, then steps forward, casting a spell that turns his fist to stone, and pummels the puppet demon's face with it, "Not interested."

[1+2][Luck 3] You encase your fist in stone, but the swing merely clips the demon's head, possibly owing to not being able to see it.
+2 Earth
Demon lightly injured.

Quote from: Ochita's Evil Twin

Ochita casts Healing Mists.

[4][Luck 3] Ochita successfully creates healing mists, though they don't quite reach as much of Nathan as intended.
+3 Water
All nearby allies not within monolith receive light healing. Most now Healthy.

Quote from: Demon

Strangle!

"Poor choice, mortal. Your bones shall adorn the earth as your blood turns to ash. Taste true suffering if you dare."
It continues trying to strangle Flagro as it speaks. [2] vs [4] If it didn't have claws Flagro would likely have turned the tables by now. For having such a commanding voice this thing isn't very good at close combat.

Quote from: maxicaxi

I tell everything i know on those subjects

You recount every detail you can think of. After a moment of silence, the booming voice grunts in grudging approval. The other voice gives a brief, chittering laugh.

"VERY WELL, SEA SPINE. YOU MAY HAVE YOUR PET, FOR NOW."

The hum devolves into more erratic cracking, and soon dissipates altogether. The chittering laughter returns for a moment, and the lid to your box is pried off. You can't see what's talking yet, but there doesn't seem to be anything stopping you from acting normally- in fact, the necromancy inhibitions are gone. Far above you there's what looks like a cavern ceiling, and the faint reflections water makes dance across it.

"Now, mortal, you will swear service to Hassinto!"

You can join iceball3, but Diakron is first in line, if he wants to play. Your character also won't have most of those items or spells, at least at first. Beginning inventory is rather limited, as are starting known spells.

Oops.

Give Immin a brief apology, then leave the cave and try to see if the statuette really is to a warrior god, or if it's just a regular decoration statuette.

Ochita · « **Reply #303 on:** August 16, 2010, 07:56:21 pm »

You forgot to add my water Xp and what about that good rune a 6 and a 4 must give some expericance and I managed to get internet access now so auto me after this turn.

I use the ice to encase my hand in it, ending with a spike, then I target the nearest demon.

wolfchild · « **Reply #304 on:** August 16, 2010, 08:00:17 pm »

Summon an eath maker, and observe as it dissasembles the monolith

IronyOwl · « **Reply #305 on:** August 16, 2010, 08:09:08 pm »

Right you are about the water experience. Runecrafting is more difficult than normal magic, and the 6 and 4 were paired with a 2 and 3. I will give you 1 Water Magic experience for the 4/Luck 3 roll, though.

Right now there aren't any demons except the one behind the stone walls.

By the way, do you have any preferences for how you're auto'd?

Ochita · « **Reply #306 on:** August 16, 2010, 08:19:51 pm »

[IF IN BATTLE- FAR] Use water magic to deal damage and to buff up
[IF IN BATTLE- ALLY WOUNDED] Use healing mists if there is more than one but otherwise use cure minor wounds
[AFTER BATTLE] Heal then loot the bodys, check for anything useful
[MOVING] Try to increase skill with runes and sword

Ochita decides to try to use water to speed up eroding of the monolif to make a stone bowl (freeze water to crack the stone to make the rough shape, then use fast flowing water to smooth the bowl and give it a flat base.)

RandomNumberGenerator · « **Reply #307 on:** August 16, 2010, 09:50:22 pm »

Dabbling takes the same amount of EXP to level up as Novice does? Huh.

Refine my Elvish Dance of Seduction into an Elvish Dance of Slaying that I can use in battle.

I speak an oath of loyalty and ask my new master how I shall serve

HmH · « **Reply #309 on:** August 17, 2010, 06:02:07 am »

I try to escape again. If I fail this time, too, I cast Shrapnel Shatter on the stones until I can get out.

Paranatural · « **Reply #310 on:** August 17, 2010, 08:39:21 am »

Move forward and grapple with the demon, grabbing it and breaking off any part of it's body I can with my stone fist.

These things are hollow, guys, just break the damn thing.

Frelock · « **Reply #311 on:** August 17, 2010, 09:13:58 am »

Try invisibility again.

Flagrarus · « **Reply #312 on:** August 17, 2010, 01:43:54 pm »

Hit the demon over the head with my bamboo staff.

If the demon is already dead...grow a tree through it's body ( just to make sure )

Turn 28: Slutty Elf And A New Master

Quote from: Tarran

Give Immin a brief apology, then leave the cave and try to see if the statuette really is to a warrior god, or if it's just a regular decoration statuette.

[5][Luck 4] You utter a brief but astute apology, and it almost seems like the light grows warmer for a moment. Once outside, you inspect that statuette. [3][Luck 2] It's obviously meant to be someone important, but you have no idea how to tell whether it's a god, mighty mortal, or the fond wish of a fat king.

Quote from: wolfchild

Summon an eath maker, and observe as it dissasembles the monolith

[2-1][Luck 4] You fail to summon an earth maker, instead conjuring a whirling, laughing wind elemental who seems to think it's funny to blow wind in your face. It utterly ignores your commands, but seems intent on being annoying rather than harmful.
+2 Conjuration
Update: Summon Earthmaker is now a staggered conjuration/earth spell. Counted as normal Conjuration spell this turn.

Quote from: Ochita

Ochita decides to try to use water to speed up eroding of the monolif to make a stone bowl (freeze water to crack the stone to make the rough shape, then use fast flowing water to smooth the bowl and give it a flat base.)

[6][Luck 2] You manage to crack off several large rocks by freezing it, but they splinter outwards and you narrowly avoid being hit. The monolith also lets out a few cracking noises.
+2 Water

Quote from: RandomNumberGenerator

Refine my Elvish Dance of Seduction into an Elvish Dance of Slaying that I can use in battle.

[4][Luck 1] You refine your Elvish Dance of Seduction into... a rather Slutty Elvish Dance of Seduction. At least you can seduce a wider range now...?
+2 Dancing

Quote from: HmH

I try to escape again. If I fail this time, too, I cast Shrapnel Shatter on the stones until I can get out.

[2] You fail to pry yourself out of the stones. Blowing things up will solve this. [5+2][Luck 4] You annihilate the pile of rocks pinning you, lacerating your legs only slightly.
+3 Destruction
Take light damage, still Moderately Wounded.
Freed from rocks.

Quote from: Paranatural

Move forward and grapple with the demon, grabbing it and breaking off any part of it's body I can with my stone fist.

[2] vs [5] The demon responds to your attempts to grab it by grabbing you as well. This isn't looking good.

Quote from: Frelock

Try invisibility again.

[3][Luck 2] You only manage to channel a slight amount of power, and it doesn't really take. You remain visible.

Quote from: Flagrarus

Hit the demon over the head with my bamboo staff.

[1] vs [1] You ineptly flail at the demon as it ineptly tries to strangle you. Nobody wins.

Quote from: Demon

Foolish hard-to-strangle fools!

"I tire of this game. Come further, if you dare." [?] The demon shoves both Sargoth and Flagro back, then slides straight down, effortlessly passing through the earth. What the...?

Quote from: maxicaxi

I speak an oath of loyalty and ask my new master how I shall serve

"With necromancy, of course."

With that, a wave of water picks up the box, carries it a fair ways, and dumps you out onto a patch of rock. Most of the cavern appears to be flooded, but scattered pieces of dry land poke up here and there. The water looks clear in some places, looking perhaps knee or thigh deep, but is murky or strangely colored in others.

Before you, several bloated corpses float in the water. Most appear human, but the closer you look, the further the bodies go. There... might be a fair number of creatures in here, likely including animals and numerous varieties of human. All are bloated from floating in the water, but some moreso than others.

"Raise yourself a servant, servant. There is much work to be done."

Turning to look at what has been speaking, you finally see your new master. It's a difficult sight to describe.

(Master appearance PM'd to maxicaxi for suspense. You want to see what he's in league with now, you'll have to go see it yourselves.

Regarding Dabbling/Novice, I wanted becoming skilled at something new to be difficult. This is especially true for spells, since it's a lot easier to kill yourself with a 0 than a 1. Becoming better at something you can already do didn't seem like it needed to be harder.

Lay down the statuette somewhere, then offer a single gold coin to whoever the statuette represents.
