Request: Could you guys specify what level of each subweapon you want to use? I'm assuming Irony is using Lv1 (Kraken Shot as opposed to Shots or similar), Ahra Lv2 ('I DONT CARE IF IT TAKE ALL MY MP'), and Talarion Lv3 (destroy him) but since these attacks take MP I don't want to over/underestimate how much you actually want to use. :\
MAGICZap that bastard into oblivion!
I DONT CARE IF IT TAKE ALL MY MP TO DO IT SAFELY, FREEZE THIS 400 HP BASTARDS LEGS AND ARMS TO THE FLOOR
Stab ye olde colossus in the other eye! BLIND IT! BLIND IT I SAY!
Kraken Shot + Normal Slash.
Instead of attacking directly, alora will attempt to hinder it's movements
Grab Malleus, hit Pierre with Malleus
SCIENCEExamine the things in the cage. Don't stick my fingers in there.
Look for something that's hopefully not ELECTRIC. MAYBE EVEN A LEVER.
Reach into one of them and pull a lever! using blind luck to guess the right one by closing my eyes.
Tariq looks around for anything useful. His ally seemed to have things sorted out with the puzzle.
Smash my new sword through one of the caged experiments.
The colossus's hand surged forward again, this time towards the knight... (4+3 vs 3. Like Zathyran before him, Malleus has been grabbed!) Although he had grown used to his armor, negating its penalties, he still wasn't fast enough to dodge the grab, and he found himself hoisted in the air to be used as a steel club on Pierre! (7+3 vs 2+4; 8+4 Critical Success, 2d4x2+100%; 24 damage) Unprepared for such an unusual attack, the mercenary was caught full on in the chest by Malleus's metallic bulk, and was sent flying across the room to crash painfully into a wall! Still struggling, the knight muttered a few arcane syllables... (-4 MP. 7+2 vs 5+2; Massive Failure, counterattack; colossus crushes for 5-2=3 damage that is absorbed by the wax doll. 5+2 vs 3+2; Minor Success, 1d6 damage; 3 damage) ...but the colossus squeezed its hand with a squealing of protesting steel, and he barely got the spell out before the air was driven from his lungs!
Claire took a shot with her pistol (-2 MP. 6+1 vs 3+2; Minor Success, 1d6; 6 damage. 3, so entangled, 3, so defense is lowered by -3 for two rounds.) and put a bullet in its broad chest before rushing it with her cutlass! (3+1 vs 1-1 = automatic Massive Damage. (2, so no exp for that)+2 Critical Success, 2d6x2+50%; 27 damage) Her blade crashed into it, shattering some of the glass along its collarbone! Alora looked for a way to hold it down. (5 vs 1+3; 8. Colossus turn speed lowered by 40 for two rounds!) Looking up, she saw a massive chandelier hanging from the ceiling. She threw a kunai at the rope holding it up and it crashed onto the colossus's back, pinning it and slowing it down greatly!
Pierre, angry for real, finally picked himself up out of the rubble of the crumbled wall and charged the monster. (4+2 vs 1-1 = automatic Massive Damage. (8, so exp)+2 Critical Success, 2d6x2+50% damage. 27 damage. 3, so no shock; 4, Greased Lightning success, auto-massive since we're still using the same accuracy roll. (5, no exp)+2 Critical Success, 2d6x2+50% damage. 30 damage, 57 total) His rapier pierced the monster's remaining eye, and his momentum and the force of his strike carried him forward until his arm was sunk in to the shoulder in its skull! With a grimace, he put a foot on its nose and thrust backwards, pulling himself away... just in time, as Zathyran finished preparing his spell! (-6 MP. 6+2 vs 8-1; 7+3 Critical Success, 2d10x2+100% + 1d10x2+100%; 36+30 = 66 damage. 1+2 vs 6-1; 3. 8+2 vs 5-1; 4+3 Major Success, 2d10 + 1d10; 16. 82 total)
The bolt of lightning struck the colossus in the face, slamming its head back and up into the ceiling and making the tower shake! Some of the electricity reflected back and arced to the ground around Zathyran, who was quickly becoming the center of a lightning storm as he continued to pour mana into his spell... but he couldn't keep it up forever and stumbled back, partially exhausted, to regain his breath.
Meanwhile, Greenmoore peered into the cages. (
) His old eyes weren't the best, but the outlines seemed similar to the monsters they had fought before. Not quite the same, but very close. (
) Biernat saw nothing useful. Just the cages, the keys, the pit, and the wooden door at the opposite end. (
) Alexander tried to attack one of the caged creatures! Joyeuse stabbed into the creature, drawing black blood and injuring it, but how badly, Alexander was unsure.
(
) Tariq looked around the room. On each wall were murals painted into the brick. The eastern wall had already been noted - and Frenz was over there anyway. The northern wall featured a landscape he had never seen before: great gray structures rising up into the clouds, with strange metal contraptions before them. Some parts of the wall stuck out. (Northern wall has these manipulable objects: car mirror, can on a trash bin, newspaper on a bench.) To the west was an orchard with a man sitting under an apple tree. The man was running a hand through his hair as he looked at an apple in his other hand. (Western wall has these objects: apple, tree branch.) The southern wall, he was a bit more familiar with. A line of men on camels rode across the desert. (Southern wall has these objects: camel head, sheathed sword, sun)
Frenz looked at the holes. (
) He reached into the one under the setting sun and pulled it... (4-3; 2d4x2 damage taken, pinned (can be escaped with assistance or a movement roll), poison gas triggered. Tariq and Frenz take 1 damage of poison each round. 12-2=10 damage taken) As he pulled it, a spike suddenly shot through his forearm, pinning it so securely he couldn't move it at all! He was trapped! From vents in the ceiling, an almost invisible mist began to fall...
