"Hmfh. You really should be more clear of who and who is not on your side. I've made my lines pretty clear, I think. I had thought we were in a truce, but I never had a clear grasp on who was on your side and who was not. Mind, I didn't particularly pay attention, but still."

"Anyway, no. While science and fighting are time honored traditions, I've come with a rather more pressing matter. My teammate is currently being assailed by eight feet of chaotic steel, as you have probably heard. This is one of the collectors we heard about from those three beings so long ago. Or he might be one. It's been a while and I sort of died between then and now, I can't remember the particulars."

"I would rather like it, for the continued existence of everybody (But mostly me and mine), if we thwarted their plans wherever possible. Nobody controls my destiny, and especially if it means becoming 'soul cattle'. This naturally means killing the Demon Knight."
 
"But alas, it appears that he will summon a horde of 'Hellspawn' if I interfere. I do not believe that me and Elephant alone will be able to pacify such beasts in such time to make a true difference in the fight. And so I have come here. What say you, to aid in killing our captors?"

((A+ For some witty writing btw "It's been a while and I sort of died between then and now, I can't remember the particulars" heh :P Well played.))

"Ah. Yes I probably should have made my alliances (as few, but strong, as they are) clearer. My Bad. But to the more pressing issue.."

"This is precisely the reason I considered the whole conflict so... non-fortuitous. I would have valued quite a fair bit more time to prepare, to be honest something like 15 more full pool-burns.
As inelegant as it is there is a simple solution to this issue, one with minimum of death, minimum of effort for all and Mr Clankypants doesn't leave with the souls. Berius may need to self-terminate.
"

"This sets back everyone in this pit, simply by value of wasted souls, but in my current state (as decent as it may be) I am not sure whether I would be much assistance either. As I have previously covered Clank&Spanx has at least 20 souls, as with the 10-souls-less threshold, and he only appeared when someone had 10 or more."

"He has also had MUCH more time to prepare, and has colleagues with a much more thorough knowledge of this Codex than we. I'm not saying 'let this guy rule your fate'. I'm saying lets whoop his ass, using his self-imposed constraints (no harvesting <soul limits) against him and his crew to prepare properly."

"As much as I actually hate to say it, until I can at least assess what the hell these hellspawn ARE I won't be entering that room. I will however assist you this one turn if you would like me to help you make some half-decent equipment, or full-body transform you. I would recommend some silver somewhere regardless. This guy likes souls, of both the tasty kind and the annoying green and necromantic kind."

((PM me any words you want me to say, 5 for equipment either one bit or several, or 4 for full-body-transform to allow for the "target what I am looking at" word.))

I say, young fellow, things seem to be getting awful risky around here. I don't suppose you'd happen to know any spells good for defense, mm? Armor and the like?

"You misunderstand the enormity of my quest here. I would ask that all participants of this game join. At the same time. He may be strong, but quantity has a quality all of it's own. I doubt his hellspawn could stand up to a concentrated assault by all eight players."

"Make no doubt, it would not be easy. He appears to have strength abounds and can probably take as many hits as he can give, but I have noticed that he is rather clumsy, and perhaps not that fast. Additionally, as a Chaos oriented creature, creatures and attacks Order would be highly motivated to seek and destroy him."

"And call it what you will, vain, stupid, whatever, Beirus has MY points. I am not letting them escape, even if they are being used by another. I've not much left to lose, now. If you are worried about preparations, he has become small and light, with a repulsive field besides. I have faith that he will at the very least delay him for a sufficient amount of time."

"If this is not sufficient to motivate you, I do have a request yes. I need a crossbow, and I need silver bolts that will inflict Order aligned Acid. Perhaps the word for bolt as well."

"If you are feeling particularly generous, do you have the word for 'Multiple'? If in the end I cannot aid Beirus, he will find the word useful during his battle."

I have to say that there is neither order nor chaos in this game. The opposing forces are of a totally different nature.

Also, you already know which effects do the opposing words have when used as an attack. Or at least should know by this time.

((Multiple Dragon Dragon Steel at-sight Move Order " would probbably instakill anything even without chunky salsa rules.))

So, why do you believe this can so lethal, may I ask?

I don't actually recall anyone actually using them aside from that one time someone transformed into both Heaven and Hell or whatever, and the two sides tore each other apart and killed him.

"If you can get EVERYONE else to agree, like you claim you will, then I will join the frey. I have a plan for that eventuality. He. He. Heh. IronButt won't like what I have in mind" :D

"Until then: I can make you a crossbow (or a normal bow), hell, I could make you a very nice crossbow, but alas I do not know the word for bolts.

'Multiple'+'arrows' however. This I can do.
I'd say your best bet would be to make (or have made) STEEL_BOW_STAFF or something similar (or if made by someone with more pool than you, I'd throw in FUTURISTIC and/or a melee weapon word for more options), should give you something similar to a crossbow, but compatible with arrows
As far as arrows go, I could cook up some MULTIPLE_SILVER_ACID_ABSORB_STEEL arrows.
Even MULTIPLE_SILVER_ARROWS_EXPLODE_ACID. I like the latter (Mostly because I am somewhat steel, but also explosions of acid :P) just don't play drums with them." ;D
