Gembound Beware - Edric - Feb 19 2021 Edric stared into the Underforge. Getting here had been quite a trial, but the boar had an odd fascination with foreboding holes and tunnels now. Who knew which of them might hide more Altars, after all? The thought that there was only one did not even occur to him. Oil was universal, so why should the Altars that consumed it and drove the chaos not be commonplace? In any case, this particular tunnel had not led to a second Altar, but what it had led to was nearly as fascinating. The whole place was lit by spurts of fire and magma, and occasional objects or rubble littered the rock surfaces that stretched across streams of lava. Most of these did not look useful at all; Edric had no idea what anyone could possibly have wanted them for. He ventured deeper into the forge, peering this way and that for something that would be of more interest--perhaps even use--for a boar. @Mirac RE: Gembound Beware - Mirac - Mar 30 2021
@Edric RE: Gembound Beware - Edric - Mar 30 2021 Nothing so far--but then there was someone behind him, and Edric spun around as fast as a boar with a marble leg could. Mirac was the oddest thing he had ever seen, save for the being of literal shadow at the Dark Altar. The sword looked a lot less intimidating than the Shadow, though. As far as the boar could tell, it was only a sword. And if it wanted to fight him? So be it. Edric could beat it easily. "All right, then!" he bellowed, stomping a hoof on the ground and grimacing at the rush of hot air as he moved. It really was a terrible place here. But before he could get distracted wondering about a drink, Mirac's magic hit. All through his mind, there was only the valkhound's one command: FIGHT. Even the excitement he would have felt at his sojourn here yielding another being who could send chaos through his mind was only a dim blip on his mental radar. There was only FIGHT. Edric would FIGHT. The only thing important in the world was FIGHT. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" Edric roared, lurching toward Mirac and shouting all the way. HE WOULD TRAMPLE THE SWORD BENEATH HIS HOOVES. HE WOULD CRUSH ITS STEEL AND GORE OUT ITS EYES WITH HIS TUSKS. HE WOULD DRINK ITS OIL AND BATHE IN ITS BLOOD. HE WOULD BE VICTORIOUS! (oop forgot the battle table so editing that in--) Round 1/5, brawler level Attempt: trample the sword Defense: ha Injuries: none @Mirac RE: Gembound Beware - Mirac - Mar 31 2021
Round: 1/5? (Ig LMAO) Attempt: Zap Edric Defense: N/A Injuries: self zap @Edric RE: Gembound Beware - Edric - Mar 31 2021 Edric had been too slow. He lurched past the floating sword, feeling nothing but hot stone beneath his hooves. Charging with a limp was pretty hard. He snorted angrily, swiveling to face Mirac again. A little frown wrinkled his face. Edric didn't think he'd come into this horrible lava place with the intention of turning it into a bloodbath just yet. Why were they fighting again? Because the sword told him to? Edric didn't take orders from anyone! HE'D SHOW THAT SWORD. By, uh, beating it. In a fight. The sword was kind of hot-looking, though. It had changed color, and now there were little bolts of purple lightning crackling across its length. Is that gonna hurt? Edric wondered. An idea struck him. He could touch it with his leg! Stone didn't hurt, he was pretty sure. Maybe. It was still a risk. Before he could think himself out of it and ruin his show of force by looking like a scaredy-cat, Edric kicked out his marble leg toward Mirac. Touch the sword briefly, then pull away real fast. It couldn't hurt too bad as long as he was quick about getting away, right? If it hurt at all. And not that Edric was scared or anything. @Mirac I GUESS WE'RE FIGHTING NOW HAHAHAHAHA Round 2/5 Attempt: poke Mirac with his marble leg Defense: none Injuries: none RE: Gembound Beware - Mirac - Apr 05 2021
Round: 2/5? (Ig LMAO) Attempt: Zap Edric Defense: N/A Injuries: self zap @Edric RE: Gembound Beware - Edric - Apr 11 2021 Edric laughed. "YES! I am a FORMIDABLE foe!" he repeated, delighted with himself. Was the sword laughing too? Was he not being intimidating enough? Clearly, if it was laughing. It better not be laughing at him. What had they been fighting for? Edric had forgotten. But he didn't care. This was fun! Putting his strength on display for all (well, really just the sword) to see! Emboldened by the lack of electrocution from his first poke at the sword, Edric attempted to step on Mirac with his marble leg, like a gloating cartoon villain. "LOOK!" he boasted. "I am BIG! I am MIGHTY! Look at me and TREMBLE, sword!" @Mirac Round 3/5 Attempt: step on Mirac Defense: none Injuries: none RE: Gembound Beware - Mirac - Apr 13 2021
"YESS!" Mirac hissed. Knocked prone, Mirac was surprisingly feeble. He was, quite literally, a sword, with no limbs to get up. Mirac, of course, did not mind. His silver-lined pupils glared at the Boar, its silhouette warping with splashes of purple. Round: 3/5? Attempt: Zap Edric Defense: Electrocuted self Injuries: self zap x2, (was) briefly stunned @Edric RE: Gembound Beware - Edric - Apr 14 2021 Edric laughed with Mirac. "MIRAC is mighty? Bold words for someone getting stepped on!" The gathering magic was insidious. Edric didn't feel the crackling through his marble leg, and he wasn't paying enough attention to notice it. "Do you SURR—" The lightning crashed into him at full force. Edric didn't even have time to shriek as his muscles seized and convulsed, let alone do anything. An acrid stench, even more than before, filled the Underforge as hair and flesh sizzled. His nerves were set on fire with agony. When the electricity left him after what felt like an eternity of burning alive, Edric simply lay there, staring at the ceiling with a scorched, shocked expression. He had a feeling it might hurt to move. Even more than he was already hurting, that was. @Mirac Round 4/5 Attempt: idk last minute electrocution throes? Defense: no Injuries: electrocution RE: Gembound Beware - Mirac - Apr 14 2021
Round 4???/5 Attempt: poke edric Defense: none Injuries: self zap x2, (was) briefly stunned @Edric |
