Title: Perplexicon: The Creationing (Arena game, 6/6 players, 6 waitlisted)
Post by: flabort on April 20, 2015, 01:13:25 pm

It's that time again, when Flabort tries to run a game.

Perplexicon: The Creationing

You have longed your whole life to be here, though you may not know it. The plain room is near spartan, except for the clerk at his cluttered desk and the cabinet behind him. Behind you is a single door that you came in through, and a window. The clerk hands you a paper and pencil, and tells you it's the standard liability forms and such; there's stuff detailing life insurance, last will, emergency contacts and next of kin, and other such things in case of accidental injury or death. You take a minute to fill out the form, and lastly sign your name. The moment you finish, the clerk looks up and grins, revealing his rather shark-like tooth filled maw.

"Excellent, you'll be joining the others shortly," he says, and presses a button underneath his desk; you feel a slight whoosh as everything dissappears and you reappear elsewhere, in a place not unlike an arena. Your paper seems to have transformed, too, and the long list of things has been erased, and now only your name and a few words of gibberish adorn it. There actually are a few other people here that you can see, each with their own paper.

Spoiler: Alright! A perplexicon game I can join! How do I do that? (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Cool. Is there a map? (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Alright. So, this is a perplexicon game. What are the words? What do I get for killing others? (click to show/hide)

Slardar looks around trying to get his bearings, but he is completely confused. No matter where he looks he can't figure out where he is.

~~((I'm not on the map))~~

EDIT: Slardar eventually comes to his senses and realizes where he is, He partially climbs down the stairs (not enough to reach the ground floor) and points at vaeron saying "RENOG!!"

[Delekates Speed:3+4]
[Delekates Power:3+6]
A pile of dark scraps of a pulsating metal forms in the center of the arena, long thin strips of it. It's almost alive, but there's not much of it.
Delekates of the Sweets moves down the stairs.

[Slardar Speed:1-3]
[Vearan Speed:5-4]
[Vearan Power:4+2]
[Slardar Dexterity:5+2]
A good sized amount of fluids erupt from Vearan's mouth, and arc in the direction of Slardar. However, the strong man dodges quite easily. The resultant puddle on the stairs smells of digestive fluids and old carrots.
[Vearan Power: 4+2]
A roughly shoe-shaped object appears in Vearan's hand, made of a green metal. The surface of the shoe sort of shimmers, and it feels soft like flesh.
[Slardar Power: 5-2]
In front of Slardar a boulder of pitch black rock apears, pure obsidian. Perched on the stairs as it is, it rolls down and crashes into the wall beneath.
[Vearan Power: 6+2]
The shoe in Vearan's hand is then launched straight up and embeds itself into the roof of the arena.

[Science Power: 3+3]
Science's left hand tingles briefly.
[Science Power: 2+3]
A single disembodied tongue appears in front of him.
[Science Power: 5+3]
He feels a whole body tingling.
[Science Wisdom (cast): 2]
Nothing happens when he says his fourth word.
[Science Power: 6+3]
His fifth word creates a pair of 3 foot long spruce 2x4s in front of him.
[Science Power: 2+3]
[Science Wisdom (cast): 2]
Then his mind is filled with thoughts of yellow, and then a strange thought of branching paths.
[Science power: 6+3]
[Science Power: 3+3]
His last two words cause everyone to briefly think thoughts of anger and furs, followed by creating a small cheese platter, minus the platter; small wedges of cheese scatter on the ground in front of him.

[Beirius Speed:5-6]
[Beirius Power: 2+4]
[Beirius Power: 1+4]
Beirius's right hand feels slightly warm, and he thinks of eggs and candy.
[Beirius Power: 5+1]
He thinks of anger and furs again, but nobody else does.
[Beirius Power: 6+4]
[Beirius Power: 5+4]
He briefly feels connected to the wall he's pointing at, and a faint ghostly image of a desk briefly appears in front of him.

[Derm Speed:3-6]
[Derm Power: 6+3]
In front of derm an image of a forked stick with something between the two branches flashes, almost too quickly for him to catch, but it sticks around long enough for him to get the idea.
[Derm Power: 4+3]
A puddle of bile appears on the ground in front of him.
[Derm Power: 3+3]
Thoughts of pumpkins and monsters entertain derm a bit.
[Derm Power: 4+3][Derm Wisdom(defend): 4]
Then his right index finger feels a massive amount of pressure, then is crushed into gore. Yuck! Ow!
[Derm Wisdom (cast): 6]
But he manage to think calm thoughts, dispelling any thoughts of barbarians or halloween and keeping himself from panicing over his finger.
[Derm Power: 6+3]
His last word has no noticiable effect.

Slardar hides behind his boulder and begins rolling it

[Delekates Speed: 6+4]
[Vearan Speed: 5-4]
[Slardar Speed: 3-3]
[Delekates Power: 1+6]
Delekates of the Sweets shouts her words and a piddling pile of obsidian appears in front of her. It looks like it's been chipped for sharper edges.
[Vearan Power: 6+2]
The pile of stuff that appears in front of Vearan is an overwhelmingly nauseating smelly puddle of green goo, in which smoothed chunks of obsidian can be found.
[Vearan Power: 4+2]
[Slardar Dexterity: 4+2]
Vearan then lobs a chunk of obsidian from nothing towards Slardar, only for it to crash against Slardar's giant boulder.
[Vearan Power: 5+2]
An image of a shoe briefly iluminate the space in front of Vearan before vanishing.
[Slardar Strength: 1+4]
Slardar pushes with all his might, but only moves his boulder half way to his target, who barely even notices.

[Derm Speed: 6-6]
[Derm Power: 4+3]
A pitch black slingshot apears in Derm's hand, it's obsidian forked body engraved with images of goblins and skeletons. Strung between the two branches the elastic is bright orange, and the pouch for projectiles resembles a jack-o-lantern's face.
A few small marble sized objects appear, too, but are brightly colored and wrapped in clear plastic.
[Derm Wisdom (Cast): 1+0]
Derm sneezes when he casts, and feels a ominous wind whistle through his lips. Absolutely nothing happens, though.

Quote from: NAV on April 21, 2015, 04:53:55 pm

Eat the cheese.

[Science Speed: 2-3]
The cheese is pretty good. A high quality aged cheddar, some excelent bleu, and a few pieces of a kind you've never had but you'd have to say it's probably a goat cheese.
[Science Power: 6+3]
A wooden figurine in the shape of an angry man dressed in furs and wielding a battle-axe appears. And then another figurine, but it's an angry guy poking a fire (carved from wood) with a stick.
[Science Power: 2+3]
Another 2x4 appears, but it's been painted a bright, bright yellow.
[Science Wisdom: 5]
Derm's finger regrows. That would seem like a success, even if it helped HIM, so you move onto the next word.
[Science Wisdom: 6]
Science stands still suddenly, as his brain is overloaded with glimpses of the future. They all go by really fast, and he's only left with the knowledge of a book. A very big book, that will be created here on this battlefield, bound in leather made from the flesh of the fallen.
[Science Power: ~~1+4~~FATEPOWER 2+4]
Another 2x4 forms, but half the rings of the tree it came from are obsidian, in an alternating pattern of wood-obsidian-wood-obsidian.

An image of a mighty winged lizard appears. Except it's as small as Beirus's fist. And then the image vanishes.

I said murder a guy.

[Delekates Speed: 3+4][Vearan Speed: 1-4]
[Delekates Power: 6+6]
Delekates of the Sweets climbs back to the top and points towards the strips of metal. More strips of the same material appear, but thinner and sharper. They blend in with the existing strips, and it's hard to tell which ones are the newer sharper ones.
[Vearan Power: 5+2, 3+2]
[Delekates Dexterity: 1-6, 6-6]
Vearan summons and launches two chunks of obsidian in an arc towards Delekates, the first one larger than the other. The first one comes down with more speed, and catches Delekates unawares straight in the back. She is knocked to the ground and impaled straight through her chest. The second rock narrowly misses anything important, but gets her leg.
Delekates of the Sweets has been slain! Vearan gains some new words!
She coughs up some blood, and a faint mist rises from the blood to settle on Vearan's paper.
[Vearan Power: 2+2]
A single steel ingot appears next to Vearan.

Start building a house from all these 2x4s.

[Science Speed: 6-3]
There's not enough planks here to make a whole house, but you stack them into a small barrier.
[Science Wisdom: 3]
[Vearan Wisdom: 1]
Vearan is suddenly frozen in place, in the middle of his celebrations. He sees the future, he sees the past. None of it sticks to his brain, but he feels strange. Like he's been unglued from fate. He comes out of this fog of visions confused.
[Science Wisdom (cast): 3]
Science can feel his flesh knitting a little tighter, but there's not much change. Mostly he feels refreshed from wearing himself out stacking wood.
[Science Power: 4+3]
There's a shout and a smell of unwashed bodies coated in cheese, from no-where. Your figurines of barbarians gain a coating of powdered cheddar, and their eyes glow just a little.
[Science Power: 3+3]
You create a brick of cheese (This sans wrapping (http://www.blackdiamond.ca/wp-content/themes/BDsite/img/family-nat-med-ched-light.png)). It's very, very yellow.

Quote from: heydude6 on April 22, 2015, 07:04:35 am

Climb up the stairs, then shout words

[Beirus Speed: 6-6][Slardar Speed: 2-3]
[Beirus Power: 6+4]
Beirus begins to transform, but it's not a very painful transformation. Infact, he's rather serene as scales of obsidian start growing through and covering his skin, his arm grow a fleshy webbing and claws, becoming a wing, and a small tail appears.
His clothing turns into simple furs, and his bleeding slows and stops as his stump is converted into obsidian. There seems to be a downside, though, as throughout the transformation he becomes smaller, and smaller, until he's only half as tall as he once was.
At the end, where Beirus stood is a humanoid dragon made of obsidian dressed in dirty furs. It still seems to be Beirus, though.
[Slardar Power: 2-2]
Sladar screams a word at the dragon, but smoke fills his lungs and throws him into a coughing fit. A rather bad coughing fit that sends red smoke streaming out of his mouth. It catches Beirus's attention.

Quote from: Dermonster on April 22, 2015, 04:05:40 pm

Wait, you did what?

Oh. Thanks.

[Derm Speed: 5-6]
[Derm Power: 1+3]
A large black egg with pink-and-blue polka dots appears in front of Derm. It's big enough to reach his knee.
[Derm Wisdom: 6]
"Yes, hello? Can anyone out there here me?"
The voice seems to be coming from the egg.

[Slardar Power: 4-2]
A medium sized rock appears just off the ledge of the stairs and falls onto the ground. It breaks into shards of obsidian, not close enough to your target to matter.
[Slardar Power: 5-2]
A slightly bigger rock appears right on the stairs, at the top. it's stable enough to stay where it is, but not big enough to count as a barricade. A definite speed bump, though.
[Science Power: 5+3]
[Science Wisdom: 6]
Science points as Slardar, but instead of Slardar changing or being attacked, Science feels a small change. His clothes become tougher and harder, and turn black. He feels himself changing, but resists and avoids it. It's harder to move like this, but better armored.
He moves closer to Slardar.

Science isn't so lucky the second time. He feels his limbs siezing up, and can't really stop his arms from turning into solid obsidian, one frozen in the pointing position.
He gets so that he's touching Slardar.
[Science Power: 3+3]
[Slardar Wisdom: 1-2]
Slardar starts to become rigid. Then solid. Then stops moving all together. Slardar's eyes shine for a moment, and a black substance escapes from his lips before he dies. The substance flows onto Science's page and forms words.
Science smiles.
Slardar has been slain! Science gains some new words!

[Vearan Power: 3+2]
A web of steel lines draws itself into the ground, creating a circle of branches spreading outwards from right underneath you.
[Vearan Power: 4+2-1]
Nothing happens. Maybe you might have heard something, but if so it was so soft you didn't really notice.
[Vearan Power: 1+2+1]
Obsidian erupts from the ground in front of you, and rolls forwards in a violent wave of churning rocks; it disapates and collapes a distance away.

[Derm Speed: 4-6]
[Derm Power: 5+3]
You create a desk, about as large as the one Beirus made, right on top of the egg. The egg fits neatly into the space under the desk where your legs would go.
[Derm Power: 6+3]
A large number of vines grows out of the ground, that cling to the new desk.
[Derm Power: 2+3]
You feel connected to somewhere above you, near where Science is. You feel that it's a pile of feathers you're targeting.
[Derm Power: 1+3]
You get mad. REALLY MAD. RAAAAGH. GRRR. You punch the egg in your anger, bruising your hand.

Some of the fire-wood in the pile gains a green tint, and a few branches expand out of the pile, with a few leaves on the end.

The obsidian statue of Slardar, the pile of 2x4s, and your figurines and feathers all leap into the air and slam into you, then stick to you. The bludgeoning force causes major bruising and...

Your figurines fail to change. However, a new cheese platter appears. You see... a silvery grey cheese cut into shield shapes, a pungent soft white-speckled cheese in the shape of axes, and a cheese that seems to be furry and brown, but smells AMAZING.

You can see something aproaching as you finish, something black like obsidian or shadow with glowing orange eyes; it's flying and small.
[Flimsy Power: Auto Failure]
Your spell breaks, and the first word of it fizzles. The rest of the words seperate into a second spell.

Flimsy doesn't see anything happening from where he's standing, but the feathers around Science are kicked up into the air again, settle into the shape of a school-desk for a moment, then collapse into a pile again.

A pile of wooly fibres, much like the one Science just made but smaller, appears. It seems to have the same aura of happyness.
[6+2+2]
You send a collumn of obsidian, although it's on it's side, flying through the air in an arc towards the pile of metal scraps in the middle of the arena. As it flies, it rolls in a wavy fashion, and continues rolling when it hits the ground, breaking into smaller chunks, losing momentum slowly and mangling the metal strips; it stops near the edge of the upper arena, whereupon the metal strips spring back into shape.

A pitch black snake appears out of the ground, as if from your own shadow. The shadowy snake grows two pairs of legs and a pair of wings as wide as the snake is long. It's eyes glow a bright orange, iluminating it's face and showing it's scales are twisted into screaming faces.
It flies up to the level where it's even with your face, and gives you a look of utter contempt, before baring it's fangs at you; You can see inside it's mouth, instead of being black shadow or obsidian it's teeth are candy-corn. That done, though, it flies up towards the second story, towards the interior of the nearby pillar.

You flap your arms, or wings, and test out flying. You at first don't get anywhere, but when you try to jump with your legs as well, you are propelled skywards, and further pushes on the air with your arms lift you all the way up to the second story. You won't be able to point like this, though.

"Hey, anyone want to trade for the crossbow word?"

[Youstolemyidea speed: 4][Dragon Speed: 5-3][Science Speed: 4-3][Beirus Speed: 6-6]
Youstole crosses the upperfloor to the nearest staircase, and starts speaking words. Meanwhile, Beirus bears down on him, and Science runs towards the same spot.
[Youstolemyidea Power: 2+2]
The wooden desk that appears is just the right width to clog up the stairway. It's a bit short, but it will work.
[Youstolemyidea Power: 3+2]
A large wooden shelving unit appears, and falls over just right. It doesn't collapse, but it fits perfectly.
[Youstolemyidea Wisdom: 3]
The wood forming the shelf and desk starts to grow a layer of bark, and expand from flat planks into whole logs. You'd say the stairwell was nicely blocked off.
It's at this time that Beirus manages to fly close enough to grab Youstolemyidea's shoulder.
[Dragon Power: 4]
The halloween dragon spews orange pumpkin guts onto the pile of feathers. The feathers soak up the goop, and then burn with a blazing green fire for a moment before disapearing. Science is already gone from the pile, though.
[Science Power: 6+3]
Science lays his hand onto Youstolemyidea and speaks. Nothing happens.
[Science Power: 5+3]
[Youstolemyidea Wisdom: 2]
The second set of words causes Youstolemyidea to transform, painfully, into a 2D outline of himself in pink yarn, filled in with tan yarn, with clothes of blue yarn and facial features also made out of yarn. It allows him to wriggle away from Science, only to run into Beirus, who just landed beside him.
[Beirus Power: 6+4]
[Beirus Dexterity: Auto Success because Yarn]
[Youstolemyidea Dexterity: 4-1]
[Science Wisdom: 5]
Beirus tries to grab the wooly construct, but his hand goes right through and he grabs Science instead.
Science grunts in pain as his hand is crushed like a grape, spewing gore out all over Youstolemyidea and retailiates by saying words.
[Science Power: 4+3]
[Beirus Wisdom: 6]
[Youstolemyidea Wisdom: 2]
Beirus resists and shrugs off the spell, but Youstole is still caught between them on Beirus's arm, and the spell redirects into him.
His yarn quickly unravels as it starts to disipate into red smoke, in wisps that find their way into the lungs of the other two wizards and others that float harmlessly to the roof.
Being pulled apart so quickly, Youstolemyidea doesn't have time to retailiate, and a few strands of yarn turn into black smoke that smears itself onto Science's paper.
Youstolemyidea is dead! Science gains some new words and a stat point!
Being thrown into a coughing fit purging the remains of Youstolemyidea out of his lungs, Science doesn't speak his final two words.

When Flimsy says his words, some of the smoke above you turns white and then falls down, raining a very small amount of salt on everyone.

[Roary Speed: 5+6][Vearan Speed: 6-4]
[Roary Power: 4+1]
An instument appears in Roary's hands. It's got a deep round back and a bent neck, and is made of a very nice wood. The strings on the lute's neck seem to be rough fibres, as if they were made from peeled wood too.

[Vearan Power: 5+2+(2-1)][Roary Wisdom: 3+2]
Vearan points down at Roary, who twitches in response. He is then thrown to the ground as his body starts transforming into solid steel. The painful process is slowed by his will to keep living, but the steel climbs up his neck and starts to suphocate him.
Roary tries to move his limbs, and finds that they're very stiff, but he's still alive. Barely, and made of metal, but durable.
[Vearan Power: 1+2+(2)]
Vearan's second spell, though, causes both mages to curl up and start vomiting. Roary spews out large chunks of proccessed steel, and is weakened in the proccess, but he manages to endure. Vearan also vomits, and his vomit contains some steel berrings, but not nearly as much as his target.

[Beirus Dexterity: 3+6][Science Dexterity (Continued escape): 4][Beirus Power: 1+4][Science Wisdom: 3+1]
Beirus puts his foot on Science, struggling to grab him and get hold, but he can't do any better than a taloned foot. He speaks his words, and Science's legs are popped like crushed grapes. He's bleeding profusely again, this time externally.

Quote from: Dermonster on May 03, 2015, 03:43:03 pm

So Hey, I figured out a way to open the Egg. Just try to... bunch up against one side, kay?

Do the things, and also hit the egg with another slingshot or two.

[Derm Speed: 6-6]
[Derm Strength: 3-6][Derm Strength: 6-6]
You hit the egg with two more slingshot shots. The first one starts expanding and melting away the egg's shell like before, and the second one hits the already hardened candy...
The candy keeping the egg still sealed melts away onto the floor, where it and the third candy start bubbling upwards to push the egg away; since it's under the desk, there's no-where to go, though, except out, and it pops out towards you, cracking in half where the second candy is still disolving some of the shell. The creature inside tumbles out, and shakes itself off. It's a small dragon, four legs, four wings, and a pair of large ears that swivel about and droop across it's face when not listening for threats. It's scales are white as a snow hare, and it's left ear is colored pink and it's right ear is colored blue. It looks at you and nods gratefully, but doesn't speak. It looks disdainfully at the desk decorated with skeletons, though, and snorts angrily at the slingshot you're holding.
[Derm Power: 2+3]
You feel a tendril of your being extend out and look for sometthing. In scans high and low, and you feel it starting to reced back into you when you feel it connect to someting above you.
On the roof you can see a wisp of red smoke collecting, where there had been none before; as if something that had previously been disapated were being condenced. You step back as a small "cubby" desk appears, and another, and another, in a circle of 10, around the wisp of re-dissipating smoke, and fall and crash and shatter into shards of obsidian near you.
[Derm Power: 6+3]
Three big office desks of obsidian appear in front of you.

Maybe. Maybe not. It was a spell that allowed you to speak to it in the egg, and it doesn't seem to be talking right now, maybe it can't talk normally?
It does nod, however, and yawn, when you ask it if it's good.

I really don't get this combat system at all. Much prefer the normal perplexicon system.
Also, shouldn't that final wisdom roll have had my +1?

"█████" myself to healthy.
"██████ + ██████" myself into a strange metal man.

Try to make physical contact with Beirus.
If Beirus touches me at any point, then say "███████ + █████" repeatedly until I run out of pool or he's dead. Only say these words if he's touching me.

If Beirus never touches me, then say "█████ + █████ + █████", try to figure out where it aims. Try to aim at Beirus with my mind, eyes, hands, everything I have.
If I figure out how it aims, cast the same spell again and aim at Beirus again.

Otherwise science these 3 words cause I don't see another way to win this fight.

Quote from: Halloween Dragon

No feathers? Murder. Anger

[Science Speed: 5-3][Dragon Speed: 3-3][Beirus Speed: 6-6]
[Science Wisdom: 2+1]
Science's bleeding stops. His legs fail to reapear, but the stubs seal up and feel much better.
[Science Power: 2+3]
Science grins, and grunts as his skin transforms into a red substance, and hardens into metal. He can feel very clearly that his new flesh is still alive, and possibly even more sensitive than his old, but far more durable. He even feels like he could reshape it with a little effort.
[Science Dexterity: 4][Beirus Dexterity: 5+6]
[Science Power: 3+3]
Science points, stares, and focuses his intensity on Beirus as he flies upwards. However, try as he might, he feels the spell connecting elsewhere, again in the nearby desk's boxiest drawer. He hears a thump, the drawer is bumped open from inside, and a black obsidian mask slowly rises up from inside the drawer, accompanied by a ball of red smoke that does not appear to be dissapating this time.
Moving on to science, Science says his other three words.
[Science Power: 5+3]
An image of a disembodied left foot appears. Gruesome, it even appears to be bleeding. It vanishes like most images.
[Science Power: 2+3]
A pile of grey matter appears nearby. Icky, someone's brains.
[Science Wisdom: 1+1]
Nothing happens.

Beirus returns to the lower level, leaving Science alone. On his way, he's met by a smaller dragon as black as he is; maybe blacker and shadowier. The dragon screaches in rage and tries to bite his arm.
[Dragon Strength: 4+2][Beirus Dexterity: 3+6][Beirus Strength: 4-6]
The bite misses. Beirus retaliates by grabbing it's tail, and trying to whip it around into the ground but failing to do anything to hurt it.

Quote from: Dermonster on May 06, 2015, 09:45:27 pm

Derm looks at the dragon, then at the desks.

[Derm Speed: 3-6]
[Derm Power: 5+3]
Your spell searches out for it's target, and doesn't find one at first. But it locates a sliver of a valid target, and the spell takes hold. You are unable to see it's effects from where you are, but there is a single feather located under the foot of an obsidian statue on the second story. From there, vines sprout and climb all over the statue, and many colors of flower bloom from the vines. And some flowers bear fruit, in the shape of eggs.
[Derm Power: 3+3][Derm Wisdom (Prevent Miscast): 5]
Again you can feel your spell searching for a target, but it fails to find any and fizzles. The nearest desk to you flickers for a second, but is unchanged.

The easter dragon climbs on top of the halloween desk and starts to claw at it, carving gashes into the skeletal decorations, until it senses the vines you grew. It takes off, heading towards the second level.

Roary manages to shrug off the spell, barely.
[Vearan Power: 1+2+(1+2)][Roary Dexterity: 4]
Vearan tosses a sandal through the air, a sandal of pure steel. It arcs towards Roary, who attempts to dodge; it hits his nose from the side, breaking the steel cartilage and causing him to bleed, but doesn't damage anything else.

[Flimsy Power: 6+6][Flimsy Wisdom (Miscast?): 5+6]
A lot of energy is released, looking for a target for Flimsy's second spell. No valid target is found, though, and the energy returns to Flimsy and settles down.

[Roary Speed: 3+6][Vearan Speed: 3-4]
[Roary Power: 6+1]
A large pyramid appears in front of Roary, a monumental stack of wooden planks in a tall pointed shape.
[Vearan Power: 6+2+(1+2)]
[Roary Dexterity: 1]
A massive wall of steel bearings is launched upwards from where Vearan is standing, and it arcs upwards, and then down towards where Roary is still trying to get away. They churn and roll in a wave as they crash down on the pyramid, breaking it apart into drift-wood. The wave continues and crashes against the wall, crushing Roary under a massive pile of steel and fractured wood. He struggles to stand, but his strength is gone; he is pitted and marked and worn away to almost nothing by that wave. His head crumbles, and some ink finds it's way out of his body onto Vearan's paper.
Roary is dead. Vearan gains some new words and a stat point.
[Vearan Power: 5+2+(1+1)]
Vearan points at the pile of bearings and scrap wood. They all gain a large amount of mass suddenly, the bearings underneath launching the ones on top upwards; they crash down making noticable dents in eachother and presumably the floor.

Beirus drops science while derm fits a candy ball into his slingshot. Science wriggles in pain and fear, trying to worm away, but Derm fires. He lets go too soon, and the shot flies into the air... and falls down, hitting science anyways. The candy bubbles outwards, covering his face and glueing him to the ground. He tries to scream as he feels his skin melt, but his mouth and nose are both filling with acidic candy.
Science stops moving after a while, and a wisp of ink leaks from his blood and lands on Derm's page.
Science is dead! Derm gains some new words!

Again, nothing happens until you start talking. You both sing a wonderous duet, discussing strategy and dances. Flimsy breaks out in a jig to celebrate.
This seems pretty clear, so Derm moves on to the next test.
[Derm Power: 6+3](DM Note: REALLY? 3 6s in a row?)
You feel connected to the stairs. That's unclear, so you climb over the obsidian barrier onto the floor proper, grab a nearby easter-vine-covered-statue for target testing purposes and cast it again.
[Derm Power: 2+3]
You feel connected to the floor around you in a smaller radius than the connection to the stairs. You don't feel connected to the statue or vines at all. You shout down to Flimsy, who's still dancing, to try it as well.

Flimsy feels the floor under his feet quite clearly. It's distinctly a larger area than Derm felt either time.

Some sparks spit out of your mouth and swirl about in very fancy patterns. They fail to do much of anything but look fancy, then vanish.

Nothing happens.
[ATHATH Wisdom: 2+4]
You feel guilty for what you have done in the past. What brought you here. The lives you took in your past life.

Yup, sadly. Fun fact: For it, I roll 2 fudge die for standard spell, or double that if a spell include a steel word. You rolled "- - - +" for that spell.

Beirus should check out Wycarth's hole (after expanding it, of course).

You feel a tug towards the wall before the spell fails.

An image of a tiny lizard, no wait, a tiny newt appears on your finger, then vanishes.
[Wycarth Power: 2+2]
You feel a connection to something in Derm's pocket. Wow, he's actually a ways away from you.
[Wycarth Power: 3+2]
A little more of the ceiling crumbles, revealing more sky. You think you see a wisp of cloud through the enlarged gap; it's still pretty dang small, though.

Quote from: Halloween Vs Easter Dragons

YOU AND YOUR HOLIDAY ARE DEAD!

[Easter Speed: 5-3][Halloween Speed: 3-3]
[Easter Power: 3+2][Halloween Dexterity: 6+4]
The Easter dragon breaths out another cloud, this one yellow and sticky like a mashed Peep. The Halloween dragon nimbly dodges it.
[Halloween Power: 1][Easter Dexterity: 5]
The Halloween dragon drips Candy-Apple-Green fluid down towards the Easter Dragon, but the fluid is caught in the yellow cloud and deflected away; it noticably eats at the sugary pillow.

[Beirus Speed: 6-6]
The pages are right there, so you pick them up. They fuse to your own along the edge, and become a pamphlet. You smile as you read them.

Nothing happens at first. But as Beirus picks up his new papers and reads them, you suddenly feel a connection to him.

A small pile of spruce 2x4s appears.
[Derm Power: 6+3]

[Flimsy Speed: 3-6]
[Flimsy Power: 5+6]
Your clothes transform into ragged wolf furs and you feel bloodlust. You feel like grabbing a club or axe, but there isn't much of anything, so you grab a piece of broken obsidian and raise it to the air, screaming insults to the sky.
[Flimsy Power: 5+6]
The insults (And word of power) cause the sky to rain shredded cheese down on you. The surprise breaks you out of your bloodlust, and you drop the 'club'.
[Flimsy Power: 2+6]
You create a great big pile of feathers.
[Flimsy Power: 1+6]
An image of a crossbow appears, then vanishes.
[Flimsy Power: 5+6]
In stark contrast to how the previous word made you feel, you suddenly feel chivalrous, proud, and invicible. You also want to swear fealty to a king, but don't see one.
[Flimsy Power: 5+6]
An image of a waist high picket fence appears around you, then dissapears.

[ATHATH Speed: 1-6]
[ATHATH Power: 3+4]
A thundercloud appears in front of you, a thunder cloud in the shape of an eye, with a pupil made of lightning and tears of rain. The cloudy eye weaps openly, and drifts slowly in this direction and that, having nothing but guilt to go on.
[ATHATH Power: 5+4]
You keep staring at the guilty cloud while you say your last word, and feel the spell connect with it.

Oh. I thought it would make sapient beings feel regret and/or guilt by looking at it (or it looking at them).

Wait, never mind, it's working.

Say "Guilty Left Hand", then "Storm Eye". Apologize to the guilty storm eye for creating it, saying that I didn't know that the words would interact that way. Head over to the holiday dragons and ask why they care about which holiday is superior. If they insist on knowing, explain to them that they should settle this in a way other than battle, so that lives are not pointlessly lost. If they don't seem convinced, subtly wave at and/or touch them with my guilt hand.
