Agreed, practice is good.

That thing is no friend of ours, and it never will be-- why goad it?

The formulae are sound. Now-- expand. Extrapolate. Can you wield fire and thunder together, knowing what you now know?

I want to give it a reason to listen to us, an incentive.  When did you become the voice of "no," Constantine?  Has it always been thus?

We shouldn’t goad it

I don’t like calling it Demon.

How about we hunt the Plague together?

Oh, and thank you naturegirl. I was trying to use a figure of speech. You are correct, we are not using positrons.

I have no control over ferrous metal to produce such a containment field, only my own...and as for goading it...I'm pretty sure I know how it will react, but perhaps its best to point it out in deeds -- it doesn't need us. At all.

You goad the armor, with a painted grin, and it turns its head to blink at you.

[42 vs 13] The Demon Armor rises, and with a twitch of its muscles, lunges at you. It crosses the distance in a bound. Its hands wrap around your throat as it lifts you up and slams you into the ground, hard enough to force the breath from your lung -- but you know its being gentle, its playing, even as one of your ribs cracks. You gasp as the Demon Armor cocks its head to one side. Then, without effort, it tosses you aside as easily as one would bat away a fly.

Are you so proud that you think I desire your powers?

[20 vs 1]
[23-10 vs 17]
[15]
You roll, exhaling a grunt. The Armor tilts its head, then, with another twitch of its muscles, it lunges at you again. Something clicks within you, a calculation briefly unlocking, and its variables are the position of the enemy, its strength, its power, its experience, the wind, the turn of the earth -- hundreds of them fitting into place with a single, rapid conscious thought. You twist yourself to one side before the Armor can adjust, and, with a twist of your willpower and a pocket of hydrogen, you send the Suit flying into a tree.

It rises to its feet, grinning in its malevolence.

[16] You stare at it, calming your heavy breath, but it returns to hunch by the fire. You rub your side, feeling the bones reset and slip back into place.

Now...for the other thing...

[11][10][19][11][10]
You create a massive cloud of condensed hydrogen above you, [twenty-five meters] across. You gather and condense it, grinding the atoms together until it roils with barely contained energy. Then you push it further, nearly losing control as you gather more and more energy, using the kinetic force of the air to give the reaction strength. You surround yourself with a protective electromagnetic force, and make a path to the ground with another.

Then, you unleash hell.

The blast rips apart the clearing and sends you flying back, the hydrogen exploding into a massive ball of flame as your willpower releases it. You shut your eyes, falling into the icy water. It shocks you awake, helping to clear your head of the concussive force. A crater nearly a [mile wide] has replaced the clearing, and all around it the trees have been bent back and burned. Great pillars of fulgarite reach towards the heavens -- however, you cannot hear through the ringing in your ears, and the world swims around you. You stagger, and drop to your knees after pulling yourself from the water.

The Demon Armor drags itself from the water, and grins at the damages.

I said we should NOT goad it...while we’re out here, let’s search for members of the Plague instead of fighting each other
Let’s go Plague hunting

Should have checked status

When did you become the voice of "no," Constantine?
((Uhh, I should ask. Have I been shutting people down overmuch?))

Holy--

...heh.
Heh-ha.
Ahaha.
Beautiful!

Oh dear, but we've gone and exhausted you again... and then some. Stay put-- keep your head still--

"I don't suppose you saved any of that [beast of burden]?"
Do you still have that datapad on you? I don't like this concussion... we may need to call in an extraction, or let the demon armor walk us to camp.

Fighting with each other will accomplish nothing in the long run, and I agree that going back to camp is a good thing.
