Bronan! I will start putting an exclamation point after Bronan's name because He Is Awesome "Nice find, bro!" Bronan does, as noted, high-five Joe; that's a sword made of water, which is awesome. Bronan kind of misses his own sword, which was made of sword, but he broke it when he broke the Tower. He'll have to settle for having Enormous Muscular Thews and breaking his foes with his bare hands until he can build a new sword out of pieces of his enemies, or something. Or, from the looks of it, possibly out of Xyz'ck. Ew, that looks nasty. But no, the whatever-it-is is still moving, albeit weakly... hey, wait a second. Bronan's the only Normal Human Being left in his Wave! That's... interesting. Doesn't seem to bother him, though, as he swims towards the shore and settles back to take a few deep breaths, possibly giving Roscoe some scritches if the dog happens to be nearby. Bronan is taking no actions right now because gently caress, almost anything'd be a letdown after all of this. He'll just chill for a round.

(Probably need to tweak this later, but I'll post it now!) “Holy crap, take a look at floor four, everyone - something crazy just went down!” --- Xyz’ck could feel his internals sliding to a shuddering halt and desperately called out for aid. Koko drew closer with a concerned face and gingerly reached out to draw him into her arms, to try to sooth his pain. Even that was too much - his exo-plating, already heavily weakened by the impact, cracked like porcelain under the gorilla’s strength. Despite her efforts, Xyz’ck fell limp in her arms. Unbeknownst to the others, Xyz’ck had a final gambit to play. If he could not ascend, then neither would his unfortunate killer. In Koko’s grip, Xyz’ck’s form began to pulsate and glow with an unearthly pallor, and a whine could be heard to build, along with a mechanical whirring. In alarm, the gorilla tried to drop the creature, but found it impossible as its claws locked shut clenching fistfuls of flesh and fur (Koko takes 4 damage). Its mouth opened impossibly wide as crackling energy built in its gullet and then… With a juddering belch, the energy winked out, and the creature fell still. (Fun fact, Xyz’ck had a death attack and rolled extremely terribly, doing nothing at all! Good job Arkanomen!) -???- Xyz'ck, you find your ego still active in death. You are aware of a few things. You see in your mind three golden flames - your Haunts. You can spend a Haunt to aid or hinder the living (Give +/- 5 to any roll, mechanically) whenever you want. You are aware that when your Haunts are exhausted, you will cease to be as an ego. It doesn’t bother you that much at this point. With difficulty, you are able to remember fragments of your personality, but caring is difficult without an anchor to the material. -???- “Well, count down another Topseeker for Wave 2, I guess. Jeez, these guys are unlucky! Predictably, Roscoe is freaking right out over this, and limps his wounded little body over to her, whining. After she extricates her bloodied arms from Xyz’ck’s corpse, they hold eachother for a moment in relief. Working a little of his magic, he starts licking their wounds, and - oh, holy crap, the Fruit of Wild Luck just triggered!” --- Roscoe was a simple dog. Well, relatively simple. He was a Magehound, after all, from the venerable Order of Plaid. Even the meanest dog could comfort with a lick, but the tongue of a Magehound had real magic in it. Letting some of his inner energy suffuse his tongue, he was taken aback by the power that suddenly flowed through him. The Fruit of Wild Luck roiled in his belly, charging him up beyond his wildest expectations as he furiously licked his wounds, Koko’s wounds, anything he could get his glowing tongue on! It felt GREAT to be a dog! (Nice! Koko and Roscoe heal 3d6 HP (you guys can roll it) Also, Roscoe feels the Fruit disappear from his belly with an odd bubbling sensation. Also also, Roscoe’s smashed-into-wall debuff ends early.) --- “With all the excitement down there, Bronan takes a second to survey his surroundings and remain uncharacteristically calm. I guess nobody can be action action action all the time. His little buddy Joe spends time flicking the Water Rapier around, finding he can change its shape and size pretty much as he wills it. I’m sure he’ll make good use of it.” -~~~- “On Floor Three, the Third Wave gets ready to eat some fruit. Or… destroy it, I guess? Bud grabs both Vampire Fruit and chops them neatly into halves (the disappear in poofs of energy) while glaring at Adam. Probably a good call, though Adam seems unimpressed. The latter continues folding up his parachute and reaches for the spiky brown fruit before him. Tearing off the rind, he sinks his teeth deep into its flesh - and looks like he immediately regrets it.” (Virus Fruit - a nasty virus tears into Adam’s guts. Take 1d4 damage right now. Each turn roll a 1d4. On 1 take 1d4 damage. 2/3 nothing. On 4 cured.) “Disregarding the cannibal, Chauncey pulls out a fruit and scrutinizes it. (It’s a Fruit of Hunger - pick two fruits next round) Despite the knowledge of its effects, he takes a brave bite, and immediately clutches his stomach in hunger. Even so, his eyes look resolute. Tikkiti wastes no further time, jumping over the blanket, grabbing a fruit and eating it in mid air. Show off! (Bonus to Crit Range! Your next roll of 15+ becomes a critical.) ” “As the others eat and consider their options, the rogue Geometer takes some time to study the tree itself. He walks around it and touches it, taking notes, frowning slightly. Alrighty then.” (Giovanni, as far as you can tell it is a normal tree, it just happens to be able to move. You’re no expert on arboriculture - for all you know it could just be an unusually mobile species of tree.)  -~~~- “Alright, this is the main event - Wave One versus the Giant(ess?) For those not in the know, one of our hosts, the Great Wyrm Falls-From-A-Cloudy-Sky - the Topseeker who has proceeded the furthest in the tower thusfar - met his match with her almost half a year ago. Upon arriving on the floor alone, he took one look at her and tried to launch a sneak attack, activating his Talent to release a powerful pillar of magma upon her. She just shook it off like it was nothing and threw one of those beastly hammers at him, crushing one of his wings and one of his legs. It was all he could do to grab one of the precious gems and flee the tower. There’s just no fighting that. But fight they must, if they want to proceed!” “Wave One is taking it slow, creeping slowly up the hall. The hammering is continuing as though she is unaware of them. Miyagi in particular becomes almost invisible as he ducks from pillar to pillar. Wait, what’s Percy doing!? He’s just walking right out in front of her!” --- Percy had seen a lot in his day. Heavens, he’d talked to the very dead themselves. Also, he was a walking skeleton-man. Just because something had a frightening appearance did not ipso facto mean that it was dangerous. Ignoring his allies’ hysterical whispers of alarm, Percy walked into the hall before her. “Uh, hello, madam?” The Giantess paused in her great work, for a moment holding all four giant hammers aloft. The only sound in the room was the dying reverberations of the house-sized anvil. Then with a smooth motion, she placed all of them gently on the floor before her, in a semi-circle. Even that gentle motion sent shockwaves through the hall, shaking dust off the walls and vibrating the gems in their basins. She placed a hand over her blank face, revealing a pair of plump lips set into the back of one of her hands.  “HELLO.” Percy was at a loss for words. Everything he was planning to say tumbled out of his mind, blasted away by his surprise and the sheer volume of her voice. Sevin shouldered past him, standing in front of him protectively. Laying on the diplomacy, he ventured a question: “So, what are you working on?” The lips on the hand smiled, and Sevin thought he heard (relatively) soft laughter coming from the other hands. “I AM CRAFTING. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE HAD COMPANY. YOU GET STUCK IN A RUT AFTER SUCH A TIME. WITHOUT FRESH INPUT ALL I CAN CREATE IS WORTHLESS DUST SUCH AS THIS. ” She indicates the priceless jewels around her with a dismissive wave of one of her other hands. Sevin ventures another question. “What sort of input do you speak of, Giantess?” The smile broadens. “WHY, IDEAS THEMSELVES. WELCOME TO THE SIXTH FLOOR OF THE TOWER, THE CONCEPT FORGE.” --- “...Oh man, Cloudy is going to be PISSED.” Dog Kisser fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Nov 12, 2014 |

 Name: Giovanni Race: Human Class: Arcane Geometer Health: 15 Armor: 14 Accuracy: +1 Giovanni stood silently. He could not place any special significance to the tree, at least not with a mere glance. Yet it still eluded him. He felt that the tree was too conspicuous to be a mere decoration, but on the other hand, it might be just that. He wasn't privy to whatever ideas the entities responsible for the tower had on such matters, after all. All that he had was speculation. However, Giovanni could think of a way to find out whether the tree was actually important. Change the parameters: Take the tree away. Tesseract cage (attempt 1) : 1d4: 2 Tesseract cage (attempt 2) : 1d4: 3 Tesseract cage (attempt 3) : 1d4: 3 Tesseract cage (attempt 4) : 1d4: 1 Giovanni frowned. His residual headache from the earlier encounter with the void spirit must have been interfering with his concentration. That's what he told himself, at least.

 Still impressed by the giant woman's size and seemingly non-hostile attitude, he found it hard to string together words in a coherent sentence. While Sevin made inquiries, the skeleton tried to regain his composure. Many questions floated around in his mind, and he knew this sentient creature might have answers to many of them. Who built this tower, for what reason, and what was the quickest way to the top? She told them that she had been alone for a very long time. The skeleton imagined how he would feel if someone tried to talk business with him after a year of total social withdrawal and decided that, although tempting, this probably wasn't the time to demand parlay. Instead he tried to show interest her work. As he shifted his attention to the mound of precious gems, the corner of his eyehole caught a glimpse of his still-charred bones. If the giant lady wanted ideas, well, he just came up with a very good one. "You know, outside of this Tower, these would be considered priceless". He pointed at her jewels. "But if you believe this is all still junk, let me give you the best canvas to work your art on -- me!" Percy tried to convince the giant lady to replace most of his skeletal form with new bones made of diamond. Percy K. Buckminster, esq.

Mini update for first wave The Giantess 'looks' to and fro at the Topseekers arrayed before her and places another hand before the one splayed on her face in a giant imitation of a coquettish laugh (you notice with alarm that this other hand also has a mouth on it). "YOU LITTLE ONES SPEAK SO QUICKLY. HALT. ALL THAT YOU ASK IS WITHIN MY POWER - BUT NOT MY MANDATE. THE TERMS OF MY SERVICE ARE SUCH: YOU MUST GIVE ME A CONCEPT, SOMETHING OF VALUE TO YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL. (If only someone had asked you for mysterious concepts at character creation... ) I WILL TAKE ONE OF SUCH FROM EACH OF YOU, AND CREATE A GREAT WORK." She splashes with one hand in one of the pools before her, idly. "IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, ASK THEM ONCE YOU HAVE GRANTED A CONCEPT. I WILL ANSWER SHOULD IT BE IN MY POWER OR IF I FEEL SO INCLINED." With this, she takes her hand off here face and crosses all four arms, waiting.

"Something of value to me?" The skeleton doesn't need a lot of time to answer that question, as he produces a pencil and a business card from his inner pocket. He starts scribbling on the mostly empty backside. A few minutes later he shows it to the giant lady.  "I'm not much of an artist, I'm afraid. But I hope it's enough to work with. It's a sketch of my wife. We've been happily married for 244 years now. Will this do?" Percy K. Buckminster, esq. Health: 16, Armor: 12, Acc: 1

But, no matter how hard he thought, there was one clear answer, honor. Honor was the basis of his entire life. But, could he really risk losing it for the sake of the tower? He could leave the tower now, in order to keep his honor. But, to retreat from a challenge would be dishonorable. No matter what Sevin chose, his honor was lost. "I choose honor as my concept." Sevin declared boldly. Then he asked tentatively, "Do we lose the concept we give to you permanently?"

“drat, I wish we could actually hear what they just said! Obviously they’re communicating with the Giant and she’s not attacking them, but for now they’re just kinda standing around thinking to themselves. I guess we’ll come back to them later?” -~~~- “Oh, the Gate is opening soon, have to make this quick. Okay, so here’s just the facts. That Geometer failed at invoking whatever his unregistered Talent is, so nothing new for our mages to look at out here - he’s just milling around poking at the tree, now. Adam got such a sour look on his face when he ate the fruit, then sat down and sorta zoned out for a second, and now he looks fine again.” (Adam purged himself of the virus successfully) “Bud just went crazy, stuffing fruit into his pants (for further use? as ballast? who knows!?), but there he goes - just fumbled two of them, and the fruit just plonked them back where they were. (Bud takes C6, B6, and B5, but fumbles A5 and B4 like a sucker.) Tikkiti stuffs his face with the Fruit of Healing (Roll 1d6, then 1d6 again. That’s how much HP you get. Take next round off from eating fruit), and Chauncey tries to sate his crazed hunger by cramming two fruit into his mouth. He looks real unhappy with the combined taste of the two, but otherwise seems fine.” (You identified that the fruit wouldn’t hurt you. One tastes like peas and smells like nail polish remover, and the other is bitter and smells like copper. You aren’t hurt, but it tastes really bad up in there)  “Still no key yet, unless Bud has the winning fruit stuffed in his pants there somewhere. Who knows?” -~~~- “Koko and Roscoe dive despondently into the water - mostly ignored by Bronan and Sharperer Joe who are content for the moment to just float on the surface sunning themselves. Swimming down, the two of them find themselves beside the gateway to the maze, hesitant to actually go through. Better decide quick though, or they’re probably going to run out of air!” -~~~- The Giantess considers the concepts granted to her by the First Wave for the merest moment, then reaches into the pools beside her systematically, drawing out inscrutable ingredients. Looking at each in turn, her voices belowed out their choice. --- “HONOR.” Somewhere, somewhen, a stalwart knight in the final stages of a tourney charges his mount towards his opponent, lance locked firmly in place to unhorse his foe. A man of great chivalry, beloved by all, he was a favorite to win the tournament - and the hand of the princess. A light flickers in the corner of his eye, and he tilts the lance sharply, taking his opponent’s mount in the neck. The blow kills the animal instantly, and his opponent slams into the ground, shattering bone. No matter. He had won. That was all that mattered. --- “ESSENCE OF DWARF.” Hirvar Valdkas was as dwarf as a dwarf could be. He fought, he drank, he crafted, and his beard was second to none. One day, while out on a walk, he stumbled - mumbled something about seeing a flickering light. Something changed in him that day - he took to tea instead of ale, to peace instead of war, laid down his hammer forever. Even his beard began to fall out, in great greasy clumps. He was also getting taller. --- “BELIEF IN A FALSE GOD.” Salar Crescent-Roll had always been a devout pastry maiden, giving alms to the needy, baking more than the required holy pastries, and even taking penitence in the Holy Ovens (though the latter was a bygone tradition at this point). Coming home from a walk one day, a star’s sparkle caught her eye, and caught her thinking. What if the sky was all there were? What if the stars in the sky were not flecks of celestial flour upon His great table, but rather mere points of light, like the very Sun itself? At that very moment, she renounced her faith, casting her baker’s hat to the ground. --- “THE LOVE OF HIS WIFE.” Percy’s wife gazed lovingly upon his portrait, the last vestige of him she truly had. After such a long time, to be without him seemed unbearable. Turning the picture in her hand, she caught a reflection from the sun, blinding her for a moment. When her vision cleared, she found she was holding an odd picture. Shrugging, she dropped it clattering to the floor, and walked out of the house, to go explore. --- “HIS PAST.” Miyagi was slammed into a memory thought long forgotten. A moment from long ago - a very happy day indeed. It was all so vivid - surrounded by all his friends, those who respected and cared for hi- wait, who were these people? He didn’t remember that light, either.  Some strangers, he supposed. When you get to be his age, you can’t expect to remember everyone. --- “PLAINNESS ITSELF.” A stone, like any other stone, lay deep in a cavern, cleaved off the dolomite walls by the action of time and pressure and heat. In the unbreakable gloom, a light flickered, then vanished. Though no one was around to see it, the stone had changed. It was beautiful. --- The concepts gathered, the Giantess placed them on her anvil, hammer poised. Despite their varying levels of horror at the visions foisted upon them, they were compelled to look - and watch - and wonder. What was she making? (Seriously, what do you think she’s making? What do you hope she’s making? It matters. A lot.) -~~~- “Something’s happening up there, but it look like it’s have to wait, because the gate is opening once again! Also hopefully someone is coming to relieve me from my post!”  “WHOSOEVER REACHES THE PINNACLE SHALL BECOME THE LORD OF THE TOWER AND OF THE FIRMAMENT AND OF ALL THE LIGHT TOUCHES” “Right!? Someone!?” (You know the drill - the next seven people to post characters are getting in. I probably won’t post another update till Monday, so have a good weekend!

As the giantess raised her hammer, Percy immediately became aware of his grave mistake. He had braved goblins, a murder-pit, cursed fruit and a skydive trip from hell. But none of these things had horrified him as much as the threat of losing the love of his life. He came to this tower to lay claim to the divine. Facing his potential loss, not even the dominion over all of existence felt meaningful anymore. He had to act fast. "OBJECTION!" The skeleton yelled in anger while trying to draw the attention of the gigantic lady. "Tower Lord! You sicken me! I... I yield. Please, spare me this nightmare". The skeleton fell to his knees, dropping his swordcane as a sign of surrender. Though he lacked the anatomical bits required to produce tears, a single droplet of some liquid substance made its way down his skull. Percy K. Buckminster, esq. Health: 16, Armor: 12, Acc: 1 (OBJECTION! on giant woman, 1d20=5, http://orokos.com/roll/230967)
