Turn 2.5: A series of fortunate-ish events.Jimmy gets into his pugilistic stance, and keeps them all in his sights, waiting for them to make the first move.
[2] You intend to stand your ground, but frankly with the heavy usage of magic and the terrifying creatures and powers you are witnessing, you can't help but run away, some self-preservation kicking in.
[1]When you come to a stop, you see a small, well-defended temporary fort housing a number of soldiers. They don't seem like guards, more like crusaders or adventurers. Unfortunately, they saw you but couldn't identify you as human. One of the soldiers draws his bow and takes aim.
[4(them) vs 1(you)] Their aim is fairly good, too. They peg you right in the knee before you can get behind the cover of the trees. You've not given up adventuring yet, but unless you can convince them that you are on their side, they will probably force you to by killing you.[-4HP]
> ATTACK! Use my attacks! If I should die, glory be to the Emperor!
[4(you vs 2,4,4(Them)] You focus yourself, and Mindfray the three that are closest. One of them reacts badly to it, and begins pounding itself into the nearest crystal in pain. This in turn only makes it worse, and it quickly goes unconscious as far as you can tell. The other two simply absorb your attack greedily, as if it were a meal rather than a threat.[[-4MP]
[3,1(them) vs 3(you)] One of them charges at you and tries to flip itself on end to impale you on it's spiked back. Fortunately this left it less than maneuverable, and you easily sidestep the living spike trap. The other is still somehow gorging itself on your psi attack, and gets kicked around a bit when you move out of the way of it's companion. It lands on it's side with the crystal spines wedged into the ground and keeping it suspended in the air, though from the way it is flailing around that won't last long one way or another.
((Oh, so short lived my poor Daji ! Let's see if fate has another trick in its sleeve for you...))
Having been afflicted by the Mindwipe, Daji feels dizzy and not in control of his body despite still possessing his own thoughts.
Try to influence the Aradian Worker's mind with my thoughts. Like some kind of parasite, trying to awaken his latent individuality, while I feign being mind-controlled. Who knows what would happen to me if they discovered I wasn't under their control ?
[6(you) VS 4(it)] You divine rapidly that the beetle's individuality is not latent, it is just suppressed by the connection to the hive mind. The same connection that was half-forged in you during the mindwipe. You thusly attempt to disconnect yourself and the beetle from the hive, and succeed. This is not a subtle thing to do, however and the beetle quickly turns to you with a shocked, and even panicked stream of incomprehensibly fast thinking.
[1](it)Vs 3(you) However, it's not sure how to act and as it's comrades turn to try and figure out the situation, you mentally command it to continue on as if nothing had happened. The other beetles have not realized you are now in control of one of their kin, but your stealth was nearly broken by it's reactions and they are suspicious.
Your head has cleared, and your senses are back at full. You have one Aradian worker under your control at the moment. [-1MP]
Put out my hat! With their faces!
[4](You) Vs 6(Them)]Your hat is already extinguished, but You attempt to head-butt one of the Sylvarians. You quickly find that is a bad idea as the vines binding your arms pull you to the ground backwards, leaving you dazed and without a hat. Scalene jumps off it, and clings to your shoulder, though they does not seem happy at all.
Oddly, the Sylvarians don't seem to notice Scalene.[-2HP]
Talk to the guards.
[5, Will be applied next action]You approach and greet one of the patrolling guards. She is immediately smitten by your cuteness, though they still maintain a semi-professional demeanor."Hello little one, is there something I can help with?"
Sleep. Potentially try to gaze within soul to see true self.
[5] You would do that, if it was not forced unconsciousness. that said, you rapidly wake up due to your poison tolerance, having been out for about five minutes. The Plains Carver is still asleep and unaware, and you move the incense over to keep them that way.
BLARAGLGLGL
Tarsus feel like he should make this guard repent from striking a servant of the lord, but then he's further reminded that THE LORD MUST BE TESTING HIM.
ALAS, YOU ARE LUCKY TO SERVE AS AN INSTRUMENT OF THE LORD TO STEEL ME ON MY PATH, AS A BLADE THAT IS TEMPERED BY THE HAMMER, THANK YOU MILITE
Tarsus blesses the guard then decides to walk around the town seeking divine cues on his duty.
BE A WANDERING ANGRY PRIEST
[2]You go wandering through the streets, preaching and seeking divine cues on what you should do. Unfortunately, most people seem to be avoiding you, and since it is still dark out, the only people around Vam are guards and thugs, neither of which care to mess with you. You also spot nothing of interest.

Backstory: Tarsus is a priest of the kingdom's main holy order. Having served for a long time, he should've prob been promoted to bishop and sent to the capital by now, but his strange ways have always scared his superiors, apart from the fact he's built like a tank and could probably benchpress a huge bull. Tarsus follows a personal doctrine of self inflicted physical punishment, believing that suffering is inherent to life and a way to redemption, and has a bad habit of being VERY strict with anything he deems heretic. Many a misbehaving hoodlum has met God by means of a huge blow to the head delievered by Tarsus's metal bound book of chants.
