((Don't forget a poor sense of grammar((I'm out. I refuse to compromise my grammar for the sake of alleged art!))
Don't have enough time to be detailed"...Um, never mind the evacuations. The perpetrator is currently being contained by...students, here at the school. Of course I can hold, not like there's anything better I can do."
explosion starts on the outside, and happen in rings towards the center
at the center a skyscraperis brought down, falling in one direction down a large road
finally the bombs in the school detonate neatly severing the halls
If the enimies were there they would've been decimated
*beep beep beep*"Shys'm Caes damn it. Ideally literally."
(Oh, good lord.)((Agreed.))
GreatWyrmGold the Great Golden Wyrm: Smite this sleazy mortal!Mortal. What do you contact me for?Dorf!BFEL grabs a mans wig from the cart, places it atop his power armor helmet and slicks the hair back.
"Xantalos, baby, Lord of the Void, Tormentor of Innocents and Defiler of all that is good and wholesome! How would YOU like to be the absolute, unquestionably most worshipped, and thus most powerful, god on all of Gia?? Because I can make that happen baby!*
With just a ONE TIME PAYMENT of Naming me to be the Prophet of your most DEVIOUS will (as well as any powers that come with such a position of course) I can assure you EIGHTY COPIES of "The Book of Xantalos" by next month!**
This GRUESOME tome will comprise of all the stories that show the people that Xantalos is king!
Part Bible, Part Necronomicon, and Part Biography, this tract of purest EEEEVVVVVILLLLL will be the first AND THUS THE BEST religious scripture on the planet. Bound exclusively in leather boiled right off the hides of living creatures, and WRITTEN IN BLOOD, BY BLOOD. Specifically BLOODSPAWNS! These mindlessly loyal servants will toil ENDLESSLY to produce these texts and then will toil EVEN MORE ENDLESSLY to distribute them door to door in your honor!
By my projections, within the span of a year**, you will be the most popular personality on the ENTIRE PLANET. And you know what that means! More worshippers means more sacrifices, and more souls sent screaming to entertain you on lonely nights in the void. As noted previously all this costs you is a ONE TIME PAYMENT of Prophethood!
ORDER NOW, SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED.
*-Results not guaranteed.
**-Projections are based on no solid evidence whatsoever.
((Note: "baby" in this context is the endearment, I'm not actually suggesting you are a infant. Think "slick movie agent"
Also note that how he conveyed asterisks into spoken conversation is beyond my knowledge, it just happened.))
((I am firmly opposed to any kind of genocide.))((So, are crundles the only underground creatures besides the mantle snakes of EVIL?))For now. Eventually, my golems will spread throughout the cave system and destroy the other cave civilizations.
((My point was that homeopathic doses are very, very small.))((Just as the dosage determines the poison, so does the nature of the recipient determine the homeopathic dose. A massive, broken governing system is going to take quite a bit of violence to fix.))I am extremely torn between changing the title of the thread to "Alcohol squared" or "Homeopathic Doses of Violence."((Even though you already changed the title, I'm going to point out that many homeopathics, especially the earlier ones, prescribed very small doses, sometimes so small that you could count the molecules in a dose, if there were any. So, homeopathic doses of violence would be less like what the HMRC does and more like shooting a pillow out of a cannon in the general direction of someone several hundred thousand away.))
So just bugger off an leave our loot to US. You didn't go all the way over here. You're not the one wasting an arrow to kill a spider. That's ME.OR, we could kill the guy previously threatening to kill us and call it a day.
Treasure Hunters United, I'd like to propose an armistice, though hostilities have not yet been initiated. We'll stay out of your way, and you stay out of ours. Conflict will be detrimental to both sides.If Coolrune cools down, no real conflict of interests.
Well I don't speak for my group but your terms are agreeable to me. If, in the future, both groups need to co-operate I suggest a 50/50 split. Are my terms agreeable to the two of you? More importantly, are they agreeable fellow THU members?No. Out group is literally twice the size of theirs. If we work together, every person should get one-sixth of the loot, because there are six people.
Here's how it works=Once we get a bit more cave to explore, no real complaints. At the moment, though, it would be a bit unfair since there's really only one treasure trove or monster, so everyone should get their fair share of loot.
If a team is fighting a creature for loot, and a person from another team invades, they get no loot.
If a team is fighting a creature for loot, and REQUEST the other person to come help, they get a share of the loot.
Deal?
I'm not seeing any "one done right". I've reloaded the page a bunch of times, and hey when did another page come up?Really? I couldn't tell. I was too busy successfully dodging and watching you get burnt to death by your own spell.You realize it was an op error xd? He rolled awareness when it should have been dexterity. In the one he did right you re burning down to death right now.
"Income?"((Alright, whatever.))
((You can't retcon undoing everything I did))
Actually, who did create those bracelets?"On the other hand, if he doesn't disarm 'em, he's going to jail."
((Thank you GWG, i was thinking the bracelets but SA!Stella had no IC knowledge of them))
((If bombs are not getting defused, at least in the school then the following happens))
I would like to add my voice to Issac's
Stella's Nostrils start emitting smoke
((I was talking to shinydragonguy, or what ever his name is))((Who, me?))
Hm. I planned ahead of myself.Colonization: In order, Expert/Skilled/Unskilled. Probably the Unskilled.
Build: Build a Laboratory. And a large trebuchet for retaliating at Dariush. (Oh Space-God, there's going to be a war now isn't there?)
Production: +1 Wealth, Farms (+2 Food), Harvester (+1 BRR), Colonial Center (+1 VP)
Uh...You have 1 Food and 2 Basic Goods. You have a contract for an Advanced Machine, but without actually having one you can't build a Laboratory.
"You can never have too many explosives. Especially when they make amazing cookies""Thanks for warning me to never accept anything you cook."
((Destiny bonds like A is bonded to B so if B dies so does A?((The reverse--if B would die but A is alive, B doesn't die.
"Does every world link to the Midnight Channel?""No. Some don't have televisions."
"How so? Izzy would just digest the cookie, and she'd need a detonator in her if it were to have any risk of detonating."Will glares at...Victoria?
"I add some some stuff so you don't eat cookie bombs"Will begins removing explosives quietly.
Gerard continues placing explosives destructively
"I've already planted bombs over there, now I'm just getting rid of surplus""You're preparing to blow up our own base...don't make me call the local heroes about someone preparing to bomb a school. I wonder if Armsmaster or someone would fly in. If they did, probably Armsmaster; he probably isn't as busy as the Inner Circle."
"Ah, good point."I didn't bring my clothing with me Will, none of it would fit me like thisMeanwhile, SA!Stella is trying and failing to find a way to Kiss will properly with a muzzle.Will grins at her attempts.
"Couldn't you turn back into your human form and kiss me like that?"
She settles for rubbing her head against his
Oh, that reminds me, do you have anything to facilitate communication? A warning can make the difference between close air support and friendly fire"The extrauniversal folks have mindlinking bracelets that they have been so kind as to ignore my every request to duplicate for us."
Gerard carefully places a board with labled buttons on one of the cafeteria tableBy this time, Will has discreetly removed all the explosives and disposed of them. He is running back to the school.
There is a large red button
"Actually, I filled the whole city with bombs""...Dammit, I need to find the rest now. Or, better idea..."
