Tribulations in Magic: Hydra vs Ghost Rider. Like the title of a B-movie.
« Reply #2655 on: September 14, 2015, 07:58:57 am »

Turn 130

Fairly useless knowledge is still knowledge. Keep testing!

Even MOAR science:

[Pot:5]
Nothing happens.

[Pot:6]
A pile of assorted plastic parts appears in front of you.

[Pot:3]
A golden line appears and draws something which appears to have a joint, or something.

[Pot:5]
Now lots of different rubber things appear, including rubber-bands and more random stuff.

[Pot:2]
A golden line appears, and does nothing. Huh.

[Pot:4]
Another golden line, this time drawing a door.

[Pot:1]
[Will:2-1=1]
You feel something going wrong again, and it takes you but a moment to realize what exactly, as your sight is quickly greeted with erratically-moving golden particles emanating from both of your legs. You try to do something, but you really don't know what to do, and fall into despair, hitting your legs in frustration as you know that they will be gone in short. And, indeed, they do, as with a bright flash of light they are transformed into solid, white porcelain. Lifeless and immovable porcelain.

Legs are inert porcelain, left arm is inert candy:
-3 to speed and evading
-1 to wrestling

Looks like you are going to need to fix yourself if you don't want to die.

CHANNLE MY ANGER! TRY AGIAN

You try agian! Whatever that means!

[Pot:5]
You finally get your precious diamond rapier, with the precious ability to control diamond at will! Now, you have to figure a way to fix yourself.

Diamond rapier that controls diamond:
[Piercing weapon]
Can control diamond!

"Time for the Space Wizard! Shuffle!"

Shuffle!

Deny deny deny, but lies will only get you deeper.

Quote from: NAV
PM

[Thrakor spd:1]
[Derm spd:6+1=7]
[TNI spd:3-1=2]
[Keeper spd:6-1=5]

Derm continues with his attempts at defeating Thrakor. He points his physics-defying staff at the pool of water and attempts to gather as much of it as he can:

[Derm will:3]

He gathers a little blob. Huh, maybe it will be enough:

[Derm dex:4]
[Thrakor dex:2]

And the small blob of water hits the distracted Thrakor squarely in the chest, decreasing his heat even further. He is at a perilous 1 energy now, he can feel the languidness coming after him.

By this time the Keeper reacts, and tries to encase Not Igor in stone!

[Keeper will:3+2+1=6]
[TNI spd:6-1=5]

The stone giant emits a power scream, an avalanche resounding in the arena, as he quickly stabs its fingers in the direction of the floor and yanks some rough walls from it, encasing the biometal dragon inside! It then charges after Not Igor, as the poor sod don't have many place to run now:

[Keeper dex:4+1-1=4]
[TNI dex:5-1=4]

And the Keeper manages to grab the dragon by its torso, and now attempts to bring him to the floor!

[Keeper str:6+1=7]
[TNI str:3-1+1=3]

And after what seemed like a sumo wrestling move, the biometal dragon ended up on the floor, with the Keeper tightly grasping him.

TNI is now [On ground]

But he is not defeated yet! He attempts to fire another arcane beam at the Keeper:

[TNI pot:1]

But he finds that the arcane energy is not coming from his mouth as he wanted. Wait, shit.

[TNI dex:2]
[Beat your pot dex:5]

He coughs some energy towards the floor, exploding the part of it that is directly below him. This creates a little more space for his head, with the unfortunate side-effect of blowing a portion of his jaw too.

Head is now [Slightly mauled]

And, unfortunately for him, he can't quite move his legs to attempt to slash the Keeper.

Meanwhile, Thrakor tries to save himself:

[Thrakor pot:6] ((+2 for Big bonus))
[Derm dex:1+1=2]

And a great radius around the Sphess Whizaard is quickly covered in magma! Derm barely managed to tumble back, his right leg ended up totally covered in molten stone, which eventually dissolved it.

Derm lacks his right leg:
-1 to dodging and speed
Is permanently [On ground] unless he finds a crutch (staff can be used as crutch).

And as Derm curses, Thrakor bathes in the precious magma. It helps him to not lose more heat, but doesn't seem to be enough to restore it.

Energy is now at 1/7. You don't want to be out of energy.

Quote from: Bigf00t
PM

[Bigf01t spd:6]
[Hydra spd:5]

Bigf01t quickly develops a spell which hopes will help him in his quest designed to vanquish this abomination:

[Bigf01t pot:4+1=5]
[Bigf01t will:4]

[Hydra dex:1-1=0]
[Hydra will:5]

A green and black blob is formed in front of Bigf01t, as a multitude of little souls, elongated and twisted green faces, erupt from it, clawing and biting all around as they moan. Oddly enough, the souls found Bigf01t more entertaining than the Hydra, and he suffered from some ghostly scratches. The ball of pitch was fired forwards, and fully covered the surprised monster in sticky, black goo. It seems like it will have some problems moving.

Bigf01t soul meter is now at Soul meter:5/6

Making a good use of this opportunity, Bigf01t attempted to stab the thing once again:

[Bigf01t dex:4+1=5]
[Hydra dex:4-1+2=5]

An unnatural roar is emitted by the three heads in unison as the thing glows with purple energy and dodges the thrust of the demonic weapon at the last second. It then prepares to strike:

[Hydra dex:2-1=1]
[Bigf01t dex:1]

But it decides not to do so, and retreats back, trying to shake that pitch off from it.

Quote from: FallacyofUrist
NO ACTION

Two turns without an action. The Murderous Hippo will win the fight next turn if Fallacy doesn't appear.

Quote from: Beirus
NO ACTION

The chill running through Robert's spine is now made worse by a sudden sensation of dread. It seems that he has to move, or he will suffer, for some reason. An ominous green light can be seen coming from the Arcane Room.

((You've got me at 1/7 energy in the turn and 2/7 in status.  Might want to confirm the axe too?))

Oh, well, better to clarify everything:

You are at 1/7
Your axe is at 1/3, because of the magma bath it didn't lose any kind of heat.

Is the magma I summoned enough to keep bathing in this coming turn?

No, because it has spreaded across the floor.

LAST TIME, ON TRIBULATIONS! IN! MAGIC!

L.I.N:  "These results are remarkable! Wait, what is happening!? MY ARM! MY LEGS!


Endless: *Brandishes rapiers, one of which is actually his hand* "DOUBLE! POKING! ACTIOOOOOOON!"


Derm: "Your time is nigh, Toaster! First I'll kill you, and then I'll blow up the keeper! Nothing can stop me!"

*Toaster screeches as he gets splashed by some water.*



Keeper: *Screech!*

*Awesome fight scene, ends with NAV Pinned to the floor*

NAV: "Get off of me you stupid hunk of rock! Take THI-  *Explosion* " 'y 'aw! I 'EW 'OHH 'I 'AW!"



Toaster: 'This doesn't look good. MAGMA WILL SAVE ME!'

*Magma happens*

Toaster: 'It's not enough... is this it?'

Derm: "Mother of, YOU FUCKER! MY LEG! WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE GODDAMN LEG!?



Hydra: ROAR

Bigfoot: "I've got you now, you overgrown gecko! Wait, no! NO! GO after him, not me! AUGH, IT"S SUCKING AT MY SOUL!!!"

Hydra: *Shakes like a wet dog.*



Beirus and Fallacy: *Chillaxin to the sounds of screams*

Beirus: "I should probably do something about that."

*Severed jaw part goes flying past, embedding into wall*

Beirus: "Nah."



And now, we return to...

So, I went on an unplanned travel, and then I came back to make a turn, but found that some people still need to post an action. Well, PMs have been sent.
