Zathyran took a deep breath and rolled his shoulders, getting some of the tension out as electricity continued to crackle around his form. (-6 MP. 1+2 vs 3-1; 5+3 Massive Success, 2d10x2+25% + 1d10x2+25%; 30+15 = 45 damage. 3+2 vs 1-1; Auto Massive+3 (2) damage, 2d10x2+100% + 1d10x2+100%; 40+16 = 56 damage. 3+2 vs 3-1; 2+3 Minor Success, 1d10 + 1d10; 10+10 = 20 damage. 121 damage total) Drawing it all into his right hand as a large sphere, he stepped forward and slammed his palm into colossus's face! There was a glittery shower of mirrored glass, lightning arcing between the fragments, causing everyone's hair to stand on end. The magical construct roared in pain despite not having most of a face anymore and reared back as best as it was able to, despite being being pinned by the chandelier.
Still in its grasp, Malleus attempted to keep the magic train rolling. (-4 MP. 5 vs 4-1; Massive Success, 2d6x2; 16 damage. 2, no freeze. 4 vs 2-1; Major Success, 2d6; 10 damage. 26 total) Raising a hand, all the moisture in the air froze into a giant cross of ice, the bottom end a large spike rather than flat, and the knight drove it into the beast's shoulder. Both ice and mirror shards flew everywhere. Pierre took a moment to step back and apply some healing powder. (4 HP healed) He felt only slightly better afterward. Alora moved to flank the colossus and attack. (1+3 vs 6-1) But she couldn't find an opening.
Claire had waited patiently for an opening - and also was wooling with her monocle, trying to figure out how to put it on as she was unused to such things. Eventually, though, she managed it and squinted through it at the beast... (-1MP for monacle; all damage rolls increased by +1! -2MP. 8+1 vs 1-1; Auto-Massive+1 (6) damage, 2d6x2+25%; 20 damage. 2+1 vs 1-1; Auto-Massive+1 (6) damage, 2d6x2+25%; 15 damage. 1+2 vs 3-1; 5+5 Critical Success, 2d6x2+50%; 36 damage. 71 total) Pulling out her new pistol, she shot him with both barrels. The first bullet ripped through the colossus's chest, shattering most of the remaining mirror there, while the second bullet hit the beast in its free hand and broke it in half, causing it to lose everything but the thumb on that hand. Finally, she dashed forward and cut the remains of the hand off with her cutlass, leaving the construct crippled, but alive.
Roaring, it decided to take its rage out on the knight! (5 crushing damage) His armor held, but just barely; it was getting hard to breathe from the amount of pressure the colossus was exerting! Still bellowing in frustration, it swung Malleus at the pirate! (6+3 vs 5+2; 7+4 Critical Success, 2d4x2+75%; 18 damage) Malleus's helmet crashed against Claire's unprotected head and she was flung to the ground, nursing a new black eye and headache.
In the tower of science, Tariq and Frenz were trying to get the nobleman's hand out of a trap! (Frenz: 2-3. Tariq: 6. Frenz takes 3 damage from the spike, both take 1 poison gas damage) Tariq managed to wriggle his hand in and get a grip on the spike, pushing it up enough that Frenz was able to withdraw his arm... albeit it with a fancy new puncture wound. In the other room, Greenmoore grabbed the keys and went for the door. (3+1, 8+1) He was unprepared for the floor to open up below him, and he fell into the pit! Desperately his hands scrambled for some sort of purchase, and he lucked out. His free left hand caught the lip of an opening, and he dangled above a pit of acid for a few moments.
"Are you all right, father?" Biernat yelled down. Greenmoore confirmed that he was all right, but he would have to find a different way up. He climbed into the opening and followed it, eventually finding himself in one of the cage lining the room. Again luck was with him, and he was the sole occupant... but Alexander and Biernat had other things to worry about than the returning friar! Even as he had fallen out of sight, another panel had opened up behind the remaining heroes, and after Greenmoore replied, something dropped out of it with a heavy metallic thump. Both turned and looked at what appeared to be an emaciated zombie with a heavy metal device on its back. The zombie picked itself up, staggering under the weight of the contraption, and tried to reach Biernat and Alexander...

So, I gave in, got a Dropbox account recently. Think I should port all character statuses and whatnot to a more unified template and just post links to each character's dropbox file instead? I could probably link them to the character's name section of the quoted actions, so the only thing that would really change is that the second post of the thread would just be links instead of spoilers and you could access your character's stuff more readily. ^^^
