I could, but I will do so after I do the thing that I know will work permanently if I throw enough power at it.

I can tell you beforehand that even if you try again (doing the exact same thing) and roll a 6, it will still get back again to axe form. It is not part of your body, so you can't keep the magic effect in it permanently.

Well, that was intense.

More science! Slightly more specific this time

Another book entitled Start Your Day with Extinction.
Must be the next book in the series after Start Your Day with Death.

A 6 is going to last longer than a 3, though.

I have an Idea, then. Science it is.

I WANT TO KILL SOMETHING

Yo Derm, you up for a friendly 1v1, see who's got ~the magic in [me] (got the magic baby!)~? If not then phah, I'll attack someone else. But if you want to test your mettle.. let me know ;D

If anyone wants to test themselves verses my new, admittedly slightly disadvantageous form (if much more awesome form) shoot me a PM or shout out here and we'll set dat shiiiiii up!

Otherwise I guess I can Xenomorph Science for a bit. That's cool too :-\

Ahh, the clash of the not-so-titans.

I'm tempted to say something to influence the realization or not of that fight, but I won't.

Gimme about three or so turns. If you want to come at me then, you assume full responsibility for what happens after.

Do you want me to change the thread title to anticipate for the upcoming battle? Or would it add too much pressure?

Eeehh. It probably won't happen. We are both too lazy (or at least I am!) and I don't think either of us wants to step on the others toes unnecessarily.
And with his Axe-Foot I wouldn't want too ;)
...
Why am I being so generically nice to people in a DEATHMATCH!? In a situation designed specifically to kill each other the best way to not die is to simply not kill people. What. The hell.
I SWEAR this should be a psychology/philosophy example for something, but of what concept I have no idea. Any clues?

((I'm assuming an awful lot of not-immediately-killy on Derms part, my apologies if I am putting words in your mouth there))

EDIT:

If you wanted a (long) title, I'd imagine something like: "Jokes about killing people made in Deathmatch arena. Peace ensues."
