IN MY EXPERIENCE, THE BEST RINGSIDE COMMENTARY CONSISTS OF STATING WHAT JUST HAPPENED AND THEN MAKING A COMMENT ABOUT HOW AMAZING OR CRUEL IT WAS, SOMETIMES ACCOMPANIED BY ASKING WHETHER THEY SAW THAT.

SO I GUESS I'LL SAY SOME NON-RINGSIDE COMMENTARY.

OOOOHHHH YEEEEAAAAAHHH

Turn 050

I think you'll find that you now have quite a bit more opposition than you intended, Mako boy. MY TEAM MAY BE DEAD, BUT THE ASHES SHALL SPRING FORTH ANEW!

HE USED TO BE A WRESTLER UNTIL HE TOOK AN ARROW TO THE KNEE

((So I now have the power of D.O.O.D.. Neat.))

TO WAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!

NO SELL.

[Derm spd:5-1=4]
[Systar spd:5+1=6]
[Robert spd:6]
[Mako spd:2]

Systar unleashes another of his arrows:

[Systar str:4+1=5] ((-1 for the bow, +1 for the arrows))

[Systar dex:2+1-1=2]
[Mako dex:1+1=2]

This time, though, Mako was expecting it, and was able to evade it, albeit barely.

Meanwhile, in the Eastern hallway, Robert tried to activate the magic, and then transformed with a flash of light into a diamond or, with little tusks coming from his mouth and everything!

-Diamond orc:
[Crystaline structure]

HELL YEAH! TA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!

[Robert pot:4+1=5]
[Mako dex:5+1-1=5]

"What da freaking hell is that?"-Mako's thoughts upon being attacked by a naginata-wielding diamond orc.

While he couldn't evade it, the orc, instead of attacking, made a bunch of fire appear in front of him, But Mako fortunately evaded it.

Now it is Derm's turn, who first says some words:

[Pot:2+1=3]
With the expected flash of light, his axe-foot transformed into a proper foot again!

((Back to old stats))

Now, it is time to recover what belongs to you by right!

[Derm dex:5+1=6]
[Mako dex:4+1=5-1=4]

[Derm str:1]
[Mako str:4+1=5]

Derm managed to grab the spear, but Mako said: You want dis? You'll have to catch it, first!

[Mako dex:6+1=7]
[Systar dex:6+1=7]

The spear almost impaled Systar as he dodged at the last moment. Derm sighed, and went to retrieve his spear, as Mako left through the East hallway.

Mako arrived to a room with an alien guy and a huge floating piece of chitin:

(BAD PUNS)

DO THINGS. WITH BLOOD AND SCIENCE.

[Pot:1+1=2]
A little piece of beetle carapace appears in front of you. You touch it, and it is hotter than room temperature, although not as much as to harm you or boil water. You hurl it at its floating bigger brother, and it just goes though. MORE HEADACHES FOR YOU.

[Pot:6+1=7]
A thick golden line appears in front of you, and draws a really long and somewhat thick prism. The flash of light materializes it into solid diamond. Huh, now you have a huge wall.

Snip

Let's try to see if this works:

[Pot:5]
Disappointingly enough, nothing happened. Maybe because the magic didn't have anything to affect.

You walk towards the Grand Room. The alien guy is there, with a big wall of diamond. Why does everybody like diamond so much?

Anyway, you have more science to do:

[Pot:5]
A bit of nothing flies to that big wall. Damn it, why so much bling?

[Pot:6]
You are filled with thoughts of ancient things. Secrets..."uncovered" by past civlizations. Weird symbols, seemingly alien, fill your head. Strange buildings. Not human. Yet not what you would think of a generic alien. The vision fades away.

[Pot:3]
That wall again! Now it emits a faint golden glow! Dammit, now you surely can't stop thinking about it.

[Pot:4]
You feel that nothing was fired out of your mouth. Yes, you puked a bunch of nothingness. Go figure.


Cage cannot contain Igor.

Go cage!

[Igor spd:1-1=0]
[Miol spd:6-1=5]

As Igor ponders about what to do with the cage, Miol wants to lock him down him even more!

[Miol pot:3+1=4]
A golden line appears and draws a cage over the coal one, which materializes into fire! Hehehe, he won't break this.

[Igor str:6-1+1=6]

IGOR IS ANGRY! IGOR SMASHES! Wait-no, that is grammatically correct. IGOR ANGRY! IGOR SMASH!

Igor body-slams the cage and keeps charging with a piece of the flaming coal cage in his hand!

[Igor dex:4-1=3]
[Miol dex:5]

But he is too clumsy, even for the surprised Miol.

Igor drops the piece of hot coal before it burns his hand, and notices that the fire-cage has left its mark on him: both his arms, as well as his torso and head have minor burns. He doesn't actually care, really.

Igor now has:
Head, arms and torso:
[Minor burns]
