Tribulations in Magic: Scorpion-bear Man appears!
« Reply #2805 on: March 11, 2016, 02:25:45 pm »

Turn 144

Marky examines his book of scribbled notes and words.

"Oh I see, how stupid of me."

"Lets not do that again."


Step two:Don't botch the spell this time.

Ignore the other screaming guy and say "Anci Itiuperon Erante Ciis"


You hope that you don't end up worse than before.

[Pot:2]
Nothing happens. Not even the glow you were expecting from the failure. It seems that whatever thing the magic tried to target, it no longer exists, and so can't be affected. Because, you know, you can't affect something that doesn't exist anymore.

ok...time to get serious about this...
if I'm reading this right I should be able to control steel with this...

Ciis Oner Atiticiru

You have an idea, which you hope will give you tremendous power:

[Pot:1+1=2]
A golden line appears, and stretches, trying to make a form that you guess is somewhat elongated, but it disappears before it can do anything.

Supermassive blackhole plan went wrong were too much to handle
Now i am no-handed


[Redz spd:2-1=1]
[Hippo spd:4-1-1=2]

Before Redz can attempt to do something, the Murderous Hippo attempts to bite Redz with his big, diamond tusks:

[Hippo dex:2+1-1=2]
[Redz dex:2]

But lacking most legs proves an impairment when it comes to try to move and bite someone’s ass off. Redz easily sidesteps and casts a spell:

[Redz pot:3+1=4]
[Redz dex:1+1=2]

A burst of flame erupts in front of Redz. Being prepared for it, he was already stepping backwards, while extending his own bleeding stump. The result was a cauterized, yet painful stump, but at least it is not dripping blood any more.

((Deliberately targeting his own stump, the exposure gets redirected towards that place, but this was not a controlled reaction, and could have gone bad if the pot roll had been higher.))

After doing that, Redz just ran to the Southern Hallway. The hippo doesn't follow. Likely because it can barely move. Having just one leg does that to you.

Focus potency. Slow and steady wins the souls.

You cry again:

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

PM

You take the "dagger" that controls flesh. It is wet, and disgusting, but it will have to do, for that when you touch it, you immediately feel an enhanced perception over flesh.

And that small man is partially made out of flesh.

[Lemon will:5]
[Small man will:5]

You thrust your mental presence and try to move the limbs of the man. But his mind is sharp and quickly reacts, repelling your attempts at manipulating his body.

"The hell did you just try to do?"

He looks upset, but it is so small that it is almost cute.

Quote from: Beirus
PM

You try to do some more of that crazy magic:

[Pot:3+1=4]
A golden line appears, and begins drawing a figure. It seems a human at first glance, but it is bulkier, and seems to have sharp claws instead of hands. And it has a lot of hair. Its mouth looks more like a muzzle, with sharp teeth inside. On its back, a tail ending in a wicked-looking stinger completes the figure. With a flash of light, it materializes into what seems to be a smooth and clean aluminum surface, diamond teeth (like the insides of the mouth) and a black fog emanating from the stinger.

As soon as it realizes that it, well, exists, it growls at you, producing a sound that is a mixture between broken glass and a scraping metallic noise.

It doesn't look friendly.

THIS PLEASES ME.
THIS PLEASES ME GREATLY.


If I can strap my shield to my back then do so, if not say WORDS and use the result to (hopefully) do the same.

Also cast Other Words and see what happens!

Go pick up both the Halberd and the Rapier, take a deep breath of satisfaction and head up the stairs.

((I will spend my soul-points shortly, depending on what I want to do next, once I figure that out/find out what's going to go on upstairs!))

Before moving, you attempt some magic:

[Pot:1+1=2]
You get a golden line, which doesn’t do much.

Well, you do your second thing:

[Pot:6+1=7]

A sheet of steel shavings appears over you, in a radius centered around your current position, and fall to the ground (and over you). The mere contact with it seems to have repaired your torso. Yeahhhh!

You grab the rest of your stuff and try to carry it around. You seem to be overburdened, in fact, you are so overburdened that the GM has to create a tag for it.

[Overburdened]

You, with all the various weapons and things you have over yourself, go up the staircase. Eventually you end up in a tunnel quite similar to the one you used to get into this place, and then you keep going until you find the initial chamber. The Guide asks you to leave, just as a door on the floor opens, and you find yourself at the top of the stairs to the Challenge Mode, which is the Center of the Grand Room.

Down there, there is a huge missing piece of the floor and a diamond hippopotamus with almost no limbs, which looks pretty pissed.

Oddly enough, you don't feel it, or rather, you feel an emptiness in it, just with every living being you can sense. With an exception. It is currently inside the Magma Room, and you feel that its power is the only dense enough to increase your own.

Unless you decide to take on the optional bosses of the rooms. It's all up to you now.

No. It is not only a matter of weight, but also of volume.

Tribulations in Magic: Murderous Hippo is filled with DETERMINATION
« Reply #2813 on: March 25, 2016, 09:29:31 am »

Turn 145

Oh come on.

You try agian! Whatever that means.

[Pot:3]
A golden line appears and draws a small shape. It looks like a sword, but it is so small that it seems to be more fit to be a knife, than an actual sword. With a flash of light, it materializes into solid steel. You grab it, and feel an enhanced perception over anything made of that material. You are going to love this thing.

Steel control knife:
[Piercing weapon]
[Light]
Can control steel!

I is sucky wizard.

Focus muh POT.

I is shouting loudly:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Looks like i have to Focus POT...

You focus your inner energies:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The diamond Hippo crawls to your position, with its only functioning leg. Its murderous rage makes it keep going, even after it can barely move. It is filled with DETERMINATION, it seems. Bugger.

This should be easy, anyway. Also, your pool has regenerated.

You stop crying ans shout some words, that, with some help, you hope to make into something useful. Maybe.

[Pot:2+1=3]
A golden line appears, and then splits in two. Each one of them draws out of itself a bear paw. With a flash of light, they materialize into pure silver, and their extremes seem sharp. Oddly enough, they seem to be hollow inside, like if it was intended that someone should fit something in there. Unfortunately, they are too small for even your hands to fit inside.

Also, upon touch, you notice that familiar sensation of being able to control stuff with your mind. But, having so many elements to control at the same time, they seem to tax your mental faculties too much. It would be unwise to keep adding more materials.

Ah yea, fair enough. Worth the ask!

Ahhh, the old science. It is relaxing, when you don't barely kill yourself in the process.

[Pot:3+1=4]
A golden line appears and draws a bird.

[Pot:6+1=7]
A thick line appears, and draws a huge badass pair of nunchucks.

[Pot:2+1=3]
Nothing happens!

[Pot:6+1=7]
The nothingness to the right of you is disturbed. Hmmm.

[Pot:6+1=7]
The nothingness in a wide angle starting from your back and going away from you is disturbed. More hmmmmm.

You also drop your excess shit and go to the Southern hallway (going past murderous hippo and a guy who lacks hands), and get into the Magma room. Everything seems so calm in there. Maybe because nobody is doing anything. Not even scorpion-bear man. Wait, who summoned that thing?
