Blog introduction

Meet Lydia Katheere, the fastest satyr in the plains.

[this is my new blog intro]

Lydia: Hey, the name’s Lydia. I’m the scout of the group. I also do recon, hiking, rock climbing, and camping.

Lydia: You may have met some fast fellas, but as far as I know, I’m the fastest in my group. Wanna see me dunk on tourists?

[if answer: yes]

Lydia: Cool. Let’s check out the summit, I heard there’s some slowpokes over there lol.

[If answer: no]

Lydia: *sigh* Fine, your loss.

[If answer: mention quest]: uggh, it better not be another fetch quest.

Quests:

Round up the Renegade Raiders [Stealth/Adventure/Justice]

Investigate Campfire Sites [Drama/Horror/Survival]

Defeat a Wild Beast [Survival/Adventure/Drama]

Ooc: I’ll make some stuff up along the way, so there might be plotholes. However, I will make some official posts about each quest once I finish the roleplays.

*I sneakily steal from the shopkeeper*

[cow-stealin-gal]

[As you steal from the shopkeeper, you drop a fruit.]

Shopkeeper: HEY!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!?

[scaredfurryfire]

*I run away carrying three apples*

[cow-stealin-gal]

Shopkeeper: THIIIEEEF!! THIIIEEEF!!

Shopkeeper: SOMEONE CATCH HER!!

[scaredfurryfire]

*I rush past crowds of shoppers to zigzag into the alleys*

[cow-stealin-gal]

*As you flee the scene the group of guards begin their chase*

[scaredfurryfire]

*I run through the maze-like town, the sound of my hooves echoing through the alley*

[I take a left, right, left.]

[cow-stealin-gal]

*The guards stampede in close pursuit*

[You can still hear their armor as you weave through the town.]

[scaredfurryfire]

*I run to the left, hoping to lose them*

[cow-stealin-gal]

[In front of you lies another stall filled with produce.] [The table inside it currently blocks your path.]

[scaredfurryfire]

*I use my short size to slide under the table*

[cow-stealin-gal]

[You manage to maneuver under the table, but you hit your head on the table as you reach the other side, knocking over some more produce.]

[Upon seeing your escape, they scrambled around the table, trying to reach you.]

[scaredfurryfire]

*I run further into the market*

[cow-stealin-gal]

[As you run further into the market, you bump into multiple shoppers.]

[One of which was a blue-fue satyr wearing black and white leather armor. She had been wearing impatiently for her meal when you bumped into her.]

Angry Satyr: OI!

[scaredfurryfire]

Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! …(I shout as I continue to bump into other people).

[mountain-goit]

*I glance at my meal* [or what was left of it.]

oh Hell Nah.

*I immediately give chase*

[cow-stealin-gal]

[As the deer-folk ran through the crowds, frantically trying to escape, the satyr leapt onto the buildings .]

[The satyr is running on the rooftops.]

[scaredfurryfire]

*I spin around, trying to look for an exit*

[mountain-goit]

*I spot the deer-folk from atop the roof*

Gotcha.

Sassy

I finished this piece! (About a bunch of days ago…)

Anyways, I couldn’t think of a background so I went ham with a colored pencil. But this all happened bc I began coloring a magic circle around her.

Next time tho, I’ll be sure to do this again but with a fighting pose.

Tho, I forgot to date this.

[serious-tabaxi]

open rp i guess

*a Dreamstone has cracked near the intensely religious village of dretmoore. you- a traveler- unfortunately happened to be in the village at the time, and so have been- likely against your will- coerced into entering it as tribute so that the village may remain peaceful.*

*as you approach the stone, its glassy surface reflects your visage.*

*[what do you look like?]*

[( mod note- this is a open rp thing i'm running because i want to do some roleplay, and maybe drawing. i will require a reference image initially, and there are chances that a transformation will happen during this adventure. i will attempt to be drawing the transformations (if any) each section, for practice.)]

[RP OVER: NEW PLAYERS NO LONGER ADMITTED.]

[existing players, may still continue.]

[mountain-goit]

*they're getting closer, close enough that they're all starting to try to push past each other to get at you.*

Ooc: I’m starting from here cuz I need to respond fast enough

*I immediately jump at full speed, bouncing from both heads and shoulders at blinding speed*

*After six consecutive bounces, I finish my pinball tactic by soaring through the air*

[Lydia is “clearing” the “sea” the monsters.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the monsters try to turn fast enough but their closeness prevents them... you escape!*

*the monsters give pursuit, but lack the speed, and you make it to the outer wall, where that same crack is there, decreasing in size..*

[mountain-goit]

*I summon a spider-silk vine and attach it to my spear*

*I supercharge my arm and throw my spear into the same crack, keeping my grip onto the vine *

THIS BETTER WORK

[Lydia is still flying.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the crack is wedged open, just enough for you to get through with it.*

*as soon as you pass the threshold, your spear is also ejected, as the crack slams itself the rest of the way shut, leaving the monsters trapped within.*

*the dreamstone shudders, shivers, and then twists in a direction you can't see, disappearing from physicality.*

[mountain-goit]

*I take deep breaths and slump onto the ground*

…made it…

*I turn to look back, only to see the missing dreamstone*

That’s not good…or is it supposed to disappear…?

[Is Lydia still affected by all the side effects?]

[serious-tabaxi]

[Yes, the tf side effects last until cured somehow- not an easy task, though.]

[mountain-goit]

[ok, got it, I’ll save the curing session for another time. Lydia is accustomed to her new form, but she can’t stand not remembering her name.]

*after a moment, I slowly get up to look around me*

[Lydia doesn’t know what to expect.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the villagers that were there when you were instructed to enter have left, though the lights in the houses remain.*

*it's nearly night, the sun has set behind the imposing westward mountain, but the sky still holds enough light to illuminate the clearing you're in.*

[mountain-goit]

I can leave…I can finally leave…

*I take a deep breath…*

FUCK ALL OF YOU!!

(I flipped two middle fingers as I stomped the ground with one of my eight hooves.)

[serious-tabaxi]

[rp end?]

[mountain-goit]

[a little longer, she needs to pick up something.]

*I pick up my spear and head to the tavern to rent a bedroom*

[now it ends: how did I do?]

[serious-tabaxi]

[GAME OVER!]

[SCORE: 355! Outstanding!!]

[serious-tabaxi]

[mountain-goit]

[I look like a satyr (half goat-half human) warrior with a black and white outfit and blue fur.]

[I carry around a cyan crystal spear that has bandages wrapped around the staff. Note: the right spear may or may not be involved.]

So this is Dretmoore…? (my ears droop as I make a subtle scowl at the stone)

[serious-tabaxi]

*the stone is more really of a boulder than a stone, about 20 ft tall and half as wide at the base, not quite conical.*

[mountain-goit]

*I look up at the stone and whistle at the sight*

damn.

*I then look around the town*

[serious-tabaxi]

*theres a small group of locals watching you from nearby, presumably to ensure you do as they ordered and appease the stone... though you're unsure how you're supposed to do that.*

[mountain-goit]

[Lydia’s mood is currently 3:| ]

*I head to a tavern*

…I’ll have to ask for instructions, (I say with a long side).

[serious-tabaxi]

*one of the watching locals stops you on your way.*

*???: hey. you aint gettin nothing till ya've appeased the Stone, ya got it?*

[mountain-goit]

*I turn to them with a tired expression* …what.

I thought to myself, ‘fuck, how do even you appease a boulder?’

[serious-tabaxi]

???: you was the picked one to appease it. so go on. appease.

[mountain-goit]

…… *I walk back to the boulder while internally screaming*

Here boulder…I’ll give you a piece of deez nuts (I say as I place my hand onto the boulder).

(Ooc: worth it)

[serious-tabaxi]

*there is a large crack- easily wide enough to fit through- one one side of the boulder. perhaps it could be used to enter?*

[mountain-goit]

Oh.

ohhhhh, they want me to purify it

*I look into the crack and walk inside* This better not screw me over, (I say as I venture into the stone).

[serious-tabaxi]

*inside, you enter a room almost as if not larger than the boulder's sxterior. across the way stand two doorways, passages deeper into the rock.*

*as you gaze, words resolve themselves both in your mind and above the doors.*

*the right door reads "STASIS", while the left reads "RISK".*

[mountain-goit]

*I stare at the “RISK” door*

I know what I said…but I choose Risk.

*I open the RISK door*

[Ooc: Did I just enter the No End House?]

[serious-tabaxi]

[no i dont think so.]

*its not a door so much as a passageway, but heading down it, you find another room- with the length of the passages and size of the room, you're certain you're in an extr-spatial region at this point.*

*this time there are 5 doors. in the center a message reads "CHOOSE THE ODD ONE OUT." the doors are labeled Pentacles, Cups, Swords, Thrones, and Wands.*

[mountain-goit]

*I take a gander at the doors*

The fuq’s a pentacle? (i say as I squint my eyes at the labeled door).

*I go towards the Pentacles door* It’s this one (I say as I open it)

[serious-tabaxi]

*suddenly, your skin feels ablaze, burning, as your eyes momentarily go dark. you feel yourself retching, retching, first the contents of your stomach, then more and more, and more, feeling something leaving your body, leaving you lighter and lighter, more and more empty. finally, with one last push, you feel incredibly empty, hollow, even, and yet your mind tells you this has always been the case. your body screaming silently, you regain your senses. in front of you lies... something. you're not sure what- you dont recognize the parts nor the whole. about knee-high, hot and smelly.*

*beyond that, and along the other sides of the room, you recognize 4 things... you're not sure what. they're shaped... you're unsure. you cannot think of words to describe them. besides that, only a door stands at the edge of the room.*

*your vision is... strange. things keep on becoming clear, and obfuscated. identifiable, then ineffable and shortly forgotten.*

[effectively, your recognition cognition has gone haywire, and you cannot tell what some things are no matter how long you stare at them.]

(SMAB score: 6998)

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: so…my mind is effectively broken.]

*unable to think, I scramble to what I assume was the third object in the room*

[serious-tabaxi]

*you approach it, but are unsure what to do with it.*

[mountain-goit]

*I knock it down*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it stands firm- anchored, perhaps?*

[mountain-goit]

*I attempt to climb the object*

[serious-tabaxi]

*its rather hard to climb when your hands refuse to inform you how good a grip you have... there is still a door you can see nearby.*

[mountain-goit]

*I still attempt to climb the object*

[serious-tabaxi]

*you once again- wait. what object? you look around- nothing near you.*

[mountain-goit]

*confused, I absentmindedly crawl towards the door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*your balance has returned to you, you think you can walk.*

*still, through the door you find yourself in another chamber.*

*in the center, the question reads "WHICH ███ █ PERSON SURVIVE WITHOUT?"*

*the doors are labeled Mind, Soul, Body, Anima*

[mountain-goit]

“…i…d-don…”

*i stand there for a long moment*

…

*after a lengthy period of on/off thinking, I walk towards the soul door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*Next, the question reads "PREPARE FOR BATTLE, AND CHOOSE A FOE" and the doors read Deanimator, Mind Flayer, Soul Devourer, Unmaker.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: did my thought process return? Plus, I assume that I dropped my weapon back in the first room.]

*I check around me for anything to fight with*

[serious-tabaxi]

[ooc: not completely, its still on the fritz. i will state that anything that i decide you to be unable to discern in htis state will be omitted/obfuscated by me.]

[also i assumed you hadn't unsheathed your weapon, so it'd still be in its safe place.]

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: so I still can’t think properly, got it. Plus even though, I didn’t exactly sheath a crystal spear, I’ll just say that I was carrying it on my back.

[Tho, in the state that Lydia is in, she completely forgot about it.]

*Not finding anything, I look towards the doors and walk towards the one labeled “Mind Flayer”*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the room you enter looks but does not feel empty- you feel a presence, but do not see it.*

[mountain-goit]

*I quickly raise my hands, preparing to block *At the same time, I bend my knees to prepare my counter attck*

[I have no idea why I’m doing this.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*something thwaps weakly against your face and you react and counterattack, knocking it back.*

*you feel... strange. like theres a force behind you, guiding you to attack the thing- whatever it is- that just failed to harm you.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: Why do I feel like I'm attacking the townsfolk as if I'm already mind controlled?]

*I keep my fighting stance, barely moving an inch*

[serious-tabaxi]

[i'll say explicitly- there isn't a "catch" anything like *that*. regardless, i can wait for you to return from nap for continuation.]

*almost a full 30 seconds later, you sense something moving in, close enough to touch,trying to run its dull claws across your flesh... slightly creepy.*

[mountain-goit]

*I immediately punch it*

[serious-tabaxi]

*its slammed back. once again, you feel something guiding you, suggesting almost, to attack a certain point with certainty.*

[mountain-goit]

*I start punching the thing in whatever appeared to be its chest twice and finish my punch routine with an uppercut to what I assume was its jaw*

[serious-tabaxi]

*somehow, despite inability to see or hear it, this guidance enables you to precisely hit your targets, felling the beast.*

*a doorway appears at the edge of the room.*

[mountain-goit]

*I enter the doorway at the edge of the room with a vague feeling of pride*

[ooc: sorry for the late reply, I went to take another nap.]

[serious-tabaxi]

[there is no need to apologize, bbut thank you.]

*the next room has the question of: "THE LEGENDARY RASTASOR MONSTER LACKS WHICH ABILITY?" and doors labeled "Spatial Warping","Temporal Movement", "Mind Alteration", "Truename Shifting", and "Physicality Removal"*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: i had a "dear god" moment. Oh, is my thought process back?]

[serious-tabaxi]

[it wont be completely back for the duration- but the environ refuses to make its transformations make the questions harder. so while you can focus and think, there may randomly be complete loss of thought processes, inability to notice objects(as like the mind flayer, which was so unnoticed that you failed to be affected by its shriek attack that you couldn't perceive.), and other weird things. but its stabilizing- less complete uncertainty, and more... situational antimemetic properties, if you know scp terminology.]

*the carved words shift and sway, but even though you cannot recognize the letters sometimes, you still understand the meaning.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: somehow that answer describes my mental health in incredible detail. Like for real, I'm experiencing it right now.]

[After staring at the words, something about my experiences led me to assume that the only ability that I've yet to experience involved time.]

*I walk towards the door labeled, "temporal movement"*

"It's...a hunch.."

[serious-tabaxi]

*you enter the next room without incident.*

*the next question reads "How many NAMES does the Black Blade Arania Contain?", with answers of 12,20, 36,48, ██, 96, 121.*

[mountain-goit]

[Ooc: I’m back.] *I stare at the numbers, trying to think of an answer*

[Lydia vaguely remembers that the previous question had an answer that mentioned names.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*you feel like the object of the question sounds familiar, but you cannot remember the specifics*

[mountain-goit]

*after an unsuccessful thought process, I point to the number 48*

[serious-tabaxi]

*nothing happens.*

*you think you have to walk through the door.*

[mountain-goit]

*I walk through the door labeled “48”*

[serious-tabaxi]

*a gong resounds as something starts to feel off... your body swells and grows, puffing up as its filled with air and some strange other energy... you blink, and watch as your flesh turns from a dull grey rough texture into something pink, slick, and plastic.*

[SMAB score: 6984]

*you blink, and are in another room.*

*the room's question reads "WHICH STONE IS FORMED FROM IGNEOUS PROCESSES?" and the doorways are labeled "Obsidian", "Shale", "Slate."*

[mountain-goit]

*I stand in place, trying to process what just happened*

[serious-tabaxi]

*you think... no. you're unsure. something did happen but you quickly forget what change was made.*

[mountain-goit]

*I take a deep breath* *I then walk through the obsidian door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*next room, the question reads "PREPARE FOR BATTLE, AND CHOOSE A FOE", with doors labeled "Clothlord, Bubblemaster, Ironshaper, Hallowghast"*

[mountain-goit]

*with no hesitation I walk through the Ironshaper door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*another empty room. surely there can't be that many-DUCK!*

*it feels as if someone screamed to duck in you rear and instinctively, you do so.*

*...you sense something fly overhead.*

[mountain-goit]

*upon feeling the air rush across my head, I immediately take out my crystal spear*

*I take up a fighting stance, ready to parry*

[serious-tabaxi]

*again, you feel to BLOCK at a specific angle, and something bounces off your spear... though. you barely blocked it in time.*

*and you get the creeping sensation whatever you're fighting is content to snipe you like this from afar.*

[mountain-goit]

*I ready my hooves(?) by practicing my skipping skills*

*Then I prepare another parry*

[serious-tabaxi]

*halfway through skipping, your instincts tell you to BLOCK and you do so, barely fast enough to deflect the attack.*

*you realize- the reason you are barely blocking in time is because it feels like you'r pushing through water to move...*

[mountain-goit]

*upon looking at the water, I begin to swim*

[note: Lydia took a long breath before swimming.]

[serious-tabaxi]

[you're not looking at water, you're moving as if in water.]

*regardless, attempting to swim does yeild slightly faster movement than running- until DUCK!* *its really hard to defend yourself while swimming, and somethings scrapes you on the arm that you failed to move out of the way in time.*

*you feel the arm's weight massively increase, pulling you back down to the floor. you watch as the smooth plastic making up your arm is slowly converted into chunks of floating scrap, spreading inch by inch, slowing the body parts it touches.*

[SMAB: 6983]

[mountain-goit]

*I wince at the effects of the mutation, but i continue to advance around towards the archer*

*only this time I advance slowly, stopping in place to prepare myself for each arrow*

[serious-tabaxi]

*you advance, and it refuses to retreat, simply firing again. you once again move to dodge, but the newly-heavy arm's weight prevents you from blocking in time, causing more transformation to begin on your right leg.*

[SMAB: 6982]

*you're really starting to be slowed down- especially in reaction speed- by this monster, but you finally are within range to strike at it with spear.*

[mountain-goit]

*despite the heavy leg, I cast a magic flower onto the monster to slow its movements down*

“Don’t like being slowed down, now do ya?”

*I then lunge at the monster to strike it with a single spear swipe*

[Note: Lydia is now performing Dance of Vines, a two stage attack that involves a high speed and large attack output. But due to the mutation and the environment, the attack’s top speed is reduced in half. Still faster than swimming :3]

[serious-tabaxi]

*your hits connect and the monster crumples, though your form is still hardening and slowing despite the monsters absence.*

[SMAB: 6972]

*the next door appears.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: Am I still “swimming?”]

[serious-tabaxi]

[no, the mass increase pushed you back to the floor. btw the "swimming" problem was due to simultaneous mass decrease and strength decrease.]

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: oh ok.]

*I use my spear as a walking stick to trudge to the door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the transformation continues to spread, slowing you down more, more, approaching a sto-CLICK.*

*Click.*

*you awake. for a moment, you are confused as to where you are, and why you awoke standing, but recognition returns after a moment. looking down, it appears the transformation is complete- your body, or at least the surface- is entirely composed of scrap metal. between the holes and gaps of the flesh a Darkness pulses. yet, when you begin to move, you move at what feels like the correct speed, not slowed down at all...*

*you get the vague feeling something is off, but cannot figure out what.*

[SMAB: 674C]

[i decided that while 9 is the default value of each stat, it is not the max- we're using hexadecimal counting, so the best of any stat is F]

*trudging into the next room, the question reads "WHAT ████ ████ SHE WHO ███ MAGIC FEARS ████ ███ OWN?"*

*the answers read ██MES, █AHA, █WEN, P█T█R, and G███*

[mountain-goit]

[my reaction to the question and the answers: goddam-it noohoohoo 😵‍💫]

*with no conclusive evidence of what they mean, I turn my focus onto four words* ”She…magic…fear…own”

*I stand in place, trying to figure it out*

[serious-tabaxi]

[...i will provide no hints.]

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: fair enough]

*I repeat the four words* ”She, magic, fear, own…screw it”

*I walk towards the door labeled “▫️WEN”*

[serious-tabaxi]

*you suddenly feel intense pressure on your insides- like being squeezed by a giant. you feel somehow, some part of you is being compressed, tighter and tighter and tighter until its a single point- you realize it's your magic only as it(your entire magical ability) is reduced to a singularity of magic.*

*you feel sick, your body nigh unfamiliar. but... moments pass, and you remain alive, and the discomfort of a mana singularity fades slowly.

[SMAB: 473C]

*you realize, you're back in the center- presumably of a different room.*

*the question now reads "THIS IS ████████ NUMBER....? (EXCLUDING FIGHT CHOOSING.)*

[mountain-goit]

*I kneel down on one knee, clutching my metallic belly*

“I feel…like vomiting…”

*I rest for a while*

[serious-tabaxi]

*you feel so much like vomiting, but your body refuses- unable, most likely.*

[mountain-goit]

[Part two of this roleplay thread here.]

[serious-tabaxi]

open rp i guess

*a Dreamstone has cracked near the intensely religious village of dretmoore. you- a traveler- unfortunately happened to be in the village at the time, and so have been- likely against your will- coerced into entering it as tribute so that the village may remain peaceful.*

*as you approach the stone, its glassy surface reflects your visage.*

*[what do you look like?]*

[( mod note- this is a open rp thing i'm running because i want to do some roleplay, and maybe drawing. i will require a reference image initially, and there are chances that a transformation will happen during this adventure. i will attempt to be drawing the transformations (if any) each section, for practice.)]

[mountain-goit]

*you feel so much like vomiting, but your body refuses- unable, most likely.*

[Ooc: I’m continuing the thread from here, but I forgot the question.]

*I clutch my belly for a long moment before choosing to ignore it as best as I could*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the question still reads "THIS IS ████████ NUMBER....? (EXCLUDING FIGHT CHOOSING.)*

[mountain-goit]

*I look at the answer choices*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the answers read 4,5,6,7,8,9*

[mountain-goit]

*I walk towards the number 7*

[serious-tabaxi]

*as you cross the threshold, a tingling builds up rapidly in your body, and then just as quickly fades.*

*you realize that the parts of you that were metal scrap have been transmuted to plastic scrap.*

[SMAB: 4739]

*In this room, the question reads "which power does NOT regenerate naturally? if all regenerate naturally, which regenerates SLOWEST naturally?"*

*the doors read "ki, mana, soul, anima, harmony"*

[mountain-goit]

“Shit, I’ve only heard about ki and mana”

“…oh wait, I answered that one question where soul was something that a person can live without”

*I pick the Soul door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the next room warns you again of a fight, reading "READY FOR BATTLE, AND CHOOSE AN ENEMY.". the opponents available, as far as the doors inform you, are Builder, Starkiller, Calamity, and Oozeblood.*

[mountain-goit]

*I walk through the Calamity door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*another room, and standing opposite you is... something. it speaks, but the words flow over you without being understood.*

[mountain-goit]

*I grip my spear tightly & take a fighting stance*

[Lydia plans to approach it slowly.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*it speaks again, its voice more tense but just as incoherent.*

[mountain-goit]

*I take step forward with my spear facing towards it*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it creaks, takes a threatening pose, then rushes at you far faster than you expected. you dont even have time to react as it bats aside your spear and uses some strange sort of tendrils to grab you and lift you off the floor.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: it grabbing me by the neck?]

[serious-tabaxi]

[and waist and lots of torso]

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: are my hooves free to move?]

[serious-tabaxi]

[yes.]

[mountain-goit]

*I place one of hooves on the tendrils*

*Upon doing so, a flower spawns on the tendril* [Lydia is bending her leg, attempting to kick it hard using an improved Dance of Vines attack.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the flower seems to fail to affect the thing... only serving to annoy it. your Dance kick hits and deals considerable damage, but the creature retains its grip. it shoves a limb at your face, covering it in a wet thud... you attempt to hold your breath, but feel as suddenly perception dissolves into bubbles and you lose consciousness...*

*you awake. Master stands in front of you, a limb gently placed on your shoulder, keeping you from falling over from lack of balance.*

Master: there. do ███ feel ██████?

*you do in fact feel pretty ok, though very confused. who are you? why can't you remember your name? what just happened? what were you doing?*

Master: I took the ███████ of investigating your ████████, and you've been through quite some █████████. I tried to fix what i could, but that ██████████ limiter is far stronger than █... ██████████. I have a █████ for you, █████. i need you to get the ████, and destroy ██. then, ███ ███ star, and █████ it back to ██.

*Master pulls back their ████, leaving you standing dumbly.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: couldn’t resist lol. Oh right! Do I still have a plastic mutation?]

*I stand there for a while longer, slowly wavering back and forth*

[serious-tabaxi]

Master: ....hm. i fear we lack the time to figure out how to fix this....

[mountain-goit]

[Lydia wanted to do something, to say anything. But all she could do was stare absentmindedly.]

“M-muh…”

[serious-tabaxi]

Master: Please. Break ring. retrieve ████. remember....

*with that, they fade, leaving a doorway beyond.*

[mountain-goit]

”…break…ring?”

*I look around me, expecting to see a ring*

[serious-tabaxi]

*far above, on the cieling of the room, a ring hovers, surrounded by wards so thick they partially obscure it.*

[mountain-goit]

[Ooc: what are wards specifically?]

*I look around for my spear, remembering that I dropped it onto the ground*

[serious-tabaxi]

[shielding/protection spells]

*across the room lies your spear, none the worse for wear.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: oh ok.] *I walk over to my spear ad pick it up*

*I make a few practice swings*

[serious-tabaxi]

*feels.... light.*

[mountain-goit]

*I walk around the room, inspecting the wards as I go*

[serious-tabaxi]

*its a multilayer general-purpose ward system- not exceptionally strange but still indicative of a high quality caster.*

[mountain-goit]

*I bend my knees* *I raise my spear above me*

*I cast three flowers around me*

[Lydia is attempting to break the seal by jabbing the spear into the wards using the momentum of a supercharged jump.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*you jump and get to just about the height of the seal- follow up with a spear attack?*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: Correcta-mundo!]

*I envelope the crystal with energy and launch it towards the ring*

[Ooc: Finally got to use this drawing!]

[serious-tabaxi]

*it appears the wards are too well made, and manage- barely- to deflect the spears power.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: did I make a dent or a crack in one of them?]

*I fall down after throwing my spear*

*I roll upon landing onto the ground*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it seems to have done superficial damage... you fear you'd need a better vantage to make strikes strong enough to destroy the wards.*

[mountain-goit]

”If only Madeline was here…”

*I look around for any walls to use*

[ooc: Is Lydia’s spear lodged in the wards?]

[serious-tabaxi]

]it's not. it landed against the cieling and shortly fell down.*

*the ring is equidistant from all of the walls, providing no easiest path to get to it.*

[mountain-goit]

*As I was looking around, I spotted my spear and promptly caught it before it hit the ground*

“phew”

*I walk towards the wall to inspect it*

[serious-tabaxi]

*solid rock of a dark and rough tint.*

[mountain-goit]

Hmmmm…

*I jab my spear into the rock*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it lamely just bounces off*

[mountain-goit]

(ooc: dammit. I had this mission impossible idea)

Dammit.

*I imbue my crystal spear with energy and then strike the wall again*

—

Note: It’s a stronger jab, and for clarification: Lydia is using both technique and strength to make a hole into the wall.

[serious-tabaxi]

*a door appears directly where you were in the process of striking and your momentum carries you through it.*

*the room has a question reading "Of the elements that can be used with elemental Harmony, which has the least compatibility with Divinity?", while the answers read Earth, Fire, water, air, Darkness, Light, Spacetime.*

[mountain-goit]

*I immediately try to rush back* What?!?

No! The ring!!!

[me: *ahhh*]

[serious-tabaxi]

*there's no way back- the doorway you just passed through is gone.*

[mountain-goit]

*I growl in frustration*

Auuughhhh, I was so close.

*I swivel back to the question*

Divinity, darkness, those two hardly work out

*I rush through the door labeled “darkness”*

[serious-tabaxi]

*suddenly, your vision blacks out for a few seconds. when it returns, it's.... multiplied? you feel like you're seeing quadruple, much like a spider might.... a simile literalized when you feel an abdomen and extra legs popping out of your backside.*

[SMAB: 4734]

*the room you enter reads: "Of the methods of magic that use mana, which does not draw mana from the caster but uses the ambiant mana to cast spells?" the answers; "Rune Circle", "Enchantment", "Chanting", "Bardic", "Aura", and "Calculation"*

[mountain-goit]

ahhh fuuck

*I feel incredibly itchy*

I hate this-I hate this-I hate this (I say as I try to scratch myself).

[serious-tabaxi]

*scratching soothes the itch but does not make the new limbs dematerialize....*

*strangely enough, after even a few steps you're already used to how you have to move now.*

[mountain-goit]

*Upon realizing how to move with my eight(?) new legs, I begin to practice my hoof exercises*

[Lydia now moves faster than usual.]

Whoa! (I exclaim as I felt the rush of air)

I might be able to use this

[serious-tabaxi]

*it is significantly faster, though you fear the shape of your new legs isn't granting you the optimal traction your former legs produced.*

[mountain-goit]

Fast but slippery…Rampaging Whirlwind is bouta kick some monster ass

*I look back at the question*

Oh right, that.

(Ooc: I’m gonna take a sneak break)

[serious-tabaxi]

*...*

[mountain-goit]

*I look at the question and then at the door labeled “Rune Circle”*

I gotta get back to that ring

Let’s hope that this answer doesn’t screw me over

*I walk through the “Rune Circle” door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the next room reads "Take an extra fight for Double or Nothing? or take a safe route to win?*

*the doors, predictably, read "fight" and "safe"*

[mountain-goit]

Double or Nothin!!

*I go through the “fight” door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*you find yourself in a truly colossal room, perfectly flat, with a distant but gargantuan entity.*

I seek to destroy the ring!

I will not give up till I purify the stone!

[mountain-goit]

*I prepare to swing my crystal spear*

*At the same time, I bend all of my eight knees and supercharge jumped straight at their face at breakneck speed*

[serious-tabaxi]

*they seem to have already known what you were about to do, but still move too slow to completely block!*

[mountain-goit]

*I swing my spear to slice through the face, enveloping my energy around the blade upon contact*

[ooc: Is this how a “Black Flash” works?]

[serious-tabaxi]

*it growls and swipes with a smaller limb at you, but you see very little damage was dealt to it- its ████ blood only barely drawn.*

[mountain-goit]

*I summoned a vine onto the boss to swing around it*

[I can be Spiderman or Levi Ackerman!! (But I need to eat nooo 😖]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the limb barely misses, but you're hit with the backwards-flying elbow of a different limb mid-gyration.*

[mountain-goit]

*after being struck by the limb, I throw my spear to anchor it onto another limb with a mixture of vines and spider-webs*

[Lydia is surprised that she could do that, but she maintains her focus in the heat of battle.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the beast swimgs wildly at you, blades flying all over the place.*

[mountain-goit]

*I swing around the limbs and blades, hoping that they’ll get entangled as I continue to create more spider web vines*

[serious-tabaxi]

*you begin to entangle them but your swinging vine is accidentally severed and you're flung away*

[mountain-goit]

Oh Shit!

*I brace myself for the fall by sending energy throughout my body*

[Lydia intends to land on her hooves, but is struggling to figure her rotation.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*you make an awkward landing, but are relatively unharmed. the enemy turns to look at you.*

[mountain-goit]

*I glance at its direction*

‘What kind of power are they looking for?’ (I pondered)

*I make a few warm up stretches*

’What else do I have?’ (I thought as I stretched).

[serious-tabaxi]

*??? pulls a massive javelin from nowhere and flings it at you.*

[mountain-goit]

Oh Shi-

*I quickly sidestep to dodge the massive javelin*

Ok, ok.

Choice A, get my spear back.

*I study the gigantic boss, looking for my spear*

[serious-tabaxi]

*your spear is partially stuck in one of its mid-size limbs... you'll have to get really close to reach it.*

[mountain-goit]

*I quickly study the limbs, making a rough plan to get it*

Ok, jump-jump-jump snatch.

*I start preparing a supercharged jump, aiming for the best spot to bounce*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it trundles over, summoning polearms as it approaches*

[mountain-goit]

*I calculate the new path using my extra eyes*

*I steady my aim, making sure not to flinch for even a moment*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it leaps at you-!*

[mountain-goit]

*I leap at its arms with blinding speed to bounce towards my spear!*

[serious-tabaxi]

*you manage to reach it and yank it out, a small amount of uncolored blood spraying from the wound.*

[mountain-goit]

*I attach a line of spider silk vines to the head of the thing*

Time to use Rampaging Whirlwind for once,

*I jump far from the head, keeping my hand on the vines*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it turns and swings two polearms at you.*

[mountain-goit]

*I bounce off the two polearms to stretch the vine ever further*

[Lydia is planning to stretch far enough to snap back to the head, spinning like a yoyo to slam an energy infused spear into its face.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*it begins to move, slowly at first but accelerating, after you.*

[mountain-goit]

*I yank the vine and spin rapidly towards the boss, enveloping some energy into the crystal spear*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it reacts too slow*

[mountain-goit]

*I slam the spear into the face of the boss with tremendous force*

[serious-tabaxi]

*its knocked back by the blow, colorless blood splurging out.*

*...but not dead.*

[mountain-goit]

*I’m hella dizzy*

Fauuuckk, I need to-urp!

*I nearly hurled/vomited*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it throws what can be only described as a fuckton of explosives at you.*

[mountain-goit]

*I force myself to immediately jump to the right*

[Note: She’s going to the right side of the boss.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the bombs fly on by, exploding and leaving plumes of smoke in their wake*

[mountain-goit]

*I skid over to a safe spot and placed a hand on my head*

My fuckin head bro. (i say with heavy breaths)

[serious-tabaxi]

*the monster stares at you, unmoving.*

[mountain-goit]

*My headache cleared up for a bit*

Ok, I think I’m fine.

*I glance over at the boss*

[mountain-goit]

*I superjump towards one of its left limbs and bounced around*

[Lydia bounced from two limbs to its forehead.]

*I attached a spider silk vine to its forehead and ready my spear for a jab*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it moves- too slow- to stop you.*

[mountain-goit]

Here it is, BOZO!

*I envelope some magic flowers around the crystal spear*

Magic Petal Rush!

*I yank the spider-silk vine and zoom towards the boss’s face once again* [The magic flowers leave behind a spiraling trail of mana and floating petals.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*your stab strikes true, driving deep into the monsters face. it laughs, grinning madly.*

*the boss fades, leaving no remains. a ladder appears, vertically spanning the full distance to the ring above.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: I had a rush of emotions when I got this reblog.]

WOOOOO (I scream out loud)

*after a short celebration, I quickly recompose myself to at the ladder*

….oh….my legs….how am I going to use the ladder?

[serious-tabaxi]

*the ladder does not respond.*

[mountain-goit]

…right, right. Just climb.

*I awkwardly climb up the ladder, my legs occasionally slipping off*

Bruh—bro.

[serious-tabaxi]

*you reach the top, and see that the ring's defensive wards are all but removed.*

[mountain-goit]

Oh what?

*I scan the area for any traps, despite my initial surprise*

[ooc: just checking, quick note: what color is it?]

[serious-tabaxi]

[light blue and brightly glowing]

*you dont sense or see any traps.*

[mountain-goit]

*I slowly advance to the bright ring*

Ok, time to end this.

*I prepare a stance and swing my spear into the ring with brute strength*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it cracks, a spiderweb fracture, flickering both its light and the light of the room.*

[mountain-goit]

*I swing my crystal spear into the ring again*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the attack chips a portion of the ring off, and you feel a rumble as the walls around you start to fade, revealing all the monsters in the challenge.*

[mountain-goit]

Oh shit!

*I immediately charge a Rampaging Whirlwind, waiting to parry an attack*

[serious-tabaxi]

*they all turn, though, and start fighting each other!*

*you see some kind of crystal thing jumping Master, who is struggling to defend themself.*

[mountain-goit]

DUUUDEEEE! (I shout with worry)

*I felt compelled to ditch the attack and run to his aid*

[serious-tabaxi]

Master: I WILL ██ FINE! FOCUS ██ ███ RING!

[mountain-goit]

RIGHTRIGHT

*I power up my attack and stamp one of my hooves onto the platform*

I swear these hits better be good

*I unleash Rampaging Whirlwind to strike the ring about 6-8 times*

(Ooc: This is the closest description about Rampaging Whirlwind that I can find 3:| )

[serious-tabaxi]

*the ring cracks- and shatters into glitter. from the center of the space the ring used to occupy, a tiny light begins to glimmer, slowly lowering. a tiny, miniature Star.*

[mountain-goit]

*after the attack, I end up dizzy and nauseous*

*but this time, I managed to recover a little sooner by shaking my head*

No way…is that…a star? (I say as my eyes glitter from the sight of the star).

(Ooc: I am so sorry, I fell asleep to rest my back and woke up extremely late)

[serious-tabaxi]

*it continues slowly lowering towards you, in no particular hurry.*

[mountain-goit]

*I reach out to the star*

...what now?

[serious-tabaxi]

Master: Quick! █████ ██ to me!

[mountain-goit]

OH SHI-

*I quickly yeet the star towards Master*

All yours!

[serious-tabaxi]

*Master barely catches it, outpacing the monster they're fighting to do so. all the other monsters turn to face Master, and charge as a unified force.*

*you dont have the time to react before master uses the star, and disappears.*

*the monsters all turn to you, in their wake.*

[mountain-goit]

You...YOU...

WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! (I roar in rage)

*I immediately glance around the room, using all of my eyes to calculate an escape plan, charging up all eight of my legs*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the monsters all charge at the same time.*

[mountain-goit]

*I charge my legs a bit more, studying the monsters in front of me*

Jump. Just jump. Just JUMP.

*I stay in place, waiting for the best angle to jump, gripping my spear*

[serious-tabaxi]

*they're getting closer, close enough that they're all starting to try to push past each other to get at you.*

[mountain-goit]

[Part three of this roleplay thread here.]

[serious-tabaxi]

open rp i guess

*a Dreamstone has cracked near the intensely religious village of dretmoore. you- a traveler- unfortunately happened to be in the village at the time, and so have been- likely against your will- coerced into entering it as tribute so that the village may remain peaceful.*

*as you approach the stone, its glassy surface reflects your visage.*

*[what do you look like?]*

[( mod note- this is a open rp thing i'm running because i want to do some roleplay, and maybe drawing. i will require a reference image initially, and there are chances that a transformation will happen during this adventure. i will attempt to be drawing the transformations (if any) each section, for practice.)]

[existing players, may still continue.]

[mountain-goit]

*they're getting closer, close enough that they're all starting to try to push past each other to get at you.*

*I immediately jump at full speed, bouncing from both heads and shoulders at blinding speed*

*After six consecutive bounces, I finish my pinball tactic by soaring through the air*

[Lydia is “clearing” the “sea” the monsters.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the monsters try to turn fast enough but their closeness prevents them... you escape!*

*the monsters give pursuit, but lack the speed, and you make it to the outer wall, where that same crack is there, decreasing in size..*

[mountain-goit]

*I summon a spider-silk vine and attach it to my spear*

*I supercharge my arm and throw my spear into the same crack, keeping my grip onto the vine *

THIS BETTER WORK

[Lydia is still flying.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the crack is wedged open, just enough for you to get through with it.*

*as soon as you pass the threshold, your spear is also ejected, as the crack slams itself the rest of the way shut, leaving the monsters trapped within.*

*the dreamstone shudders, shivers, and then twists in a direction you can't see, disappearing from physicality.*

[mountain-goit]

*I take deep breaths and slump onto the ground*

…made it…

*I turn to look back, only to see the missing dreamstone*

That’s not good…or is it supposed to disappear…?

[Is Lydia still affected by all the side effects?]

[serious-tabaxi]

[Yes, the tf side effects last until cured somehow- not an easy task, though.]

[mountain-goit]

[ok, got it, I’ll save the curing session for another time. Lydia is accustomed to her new form, but she can’t stand not remembering her name.]

*after a moment, I slowly get up to look around me*

[Lydia doesn’t know what to expect.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the villagers that were there when you were instructed to enter have left, though the lights in the houses remain.*

*it's nearly night, the sun has set behind the imposing westward mountain, but the sky still holds enough light to illuminate the clearing you're in.*

[mountain-goit]

I can leave…I can finally leave…

*I take a deep breath…*

FUCK ALL OF YOU!!

(I flipped two middle fingers as I stomped the ground with one of my eight hooves.)

[serious-tabaxi]

[rp end?]

[mountain-goit]

[a little longer, she needs to pick up something.]

*I pick up my spear and head to the tavern to rent a bedroom*

[mountain-goit]

I can leave…I can finally leave…

*I take a deep breath…*

FUCK ALL OF YOU!!

(I flipped two middle fingers as I stomped the ground with one of my eight hooves.)

[mountain-goit]

*I supercharge my arm and throw my spear into the same crack, keeping my grip onto the vine *

THIS BETTER WORK

[Lydia is still flying.]

[serious-tabaxi]

That’s not good…or is it supposed to disappear…?

[Is Lydia still affected by all the side effects?]

[serious-tabaxi]

[Yes, the tf side effects last until cured somehow- not an easy task, though.]

[mountain-goit]

[ok, got it, I’ll save the curing session for another time. Lydia is accustomed to her new form, but she can’t stand not remembering her name.]

[mountain-goit]

*you feel so much like vomiting, but your body refuses- unable, most likely.*

[Ooc: I’m continuing the thread from here, but I forgot the question.]

*I clutch my belly for a long moment before choosing to ignore it as best as I could*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the question still reads "THIS IS ████████ NUMBER....? (EXCLUDING FIGHT CHOOSING.)*

[mountain-goit]

*I look at the answer choices*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the answers read 4,5,6,7,8,9*

[mountain-goit]

*I walk towards the number 7*

[serious-tabaxi]

*as you cross the threshold, a tingling builds up rapidly in your body, and then just as quickly fades.*

*you realize that the parts of you that were metal scrap have been transmuted to plastic scrap.*

[SMAB: 4739]

*In this room, the question reads "which power does NOT regenerate naturally? if all regenerate naturally, which regenerates SLOWEST naturally?"*

*the doors read "ki, mana, soul, anima, harmony"*

[mountain-goit]

“Shit, I’ve only heard about ki and mana”

“…oh wait, I answered that one question where soul was something that a person can live without”

*I pick the Soul door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the next room warns you again of a fight, reading "READY FOR BATTLE, AND CHOOSE AN ENEMY.". the opponents available, as far as the doors inform you, are Builder, Starkiller, Calamity, and Oozeblood.*

[mountain-goit]

*I walk through the Calamity door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*another room, and standing opposite you is... something. it speaks, but the words flow over you without being understood.*

[mountain-goit]

*I grip my spear tightly & take a fighting stance*

[Lydia plans to approach it slowly.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*it speaks again, its voice more tense but just as incoherent.*

[mountain-goit]

*I take step forward with my spear facing towards it*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it creaks, takes a threatening pose, then rushes at you far faster than you expected. you dont even have time to react as it bats aside your spear and uses some strange sort of tendrils to grab you and lift you off the floor.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: it grabbing me by the neck?]

[serious-tabaxi]

[and waist and lots of torso]

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: are my hooves free to move?]

[serious-tabaxi]

[yes.]

[mountain-goit]

*I place one of hooves on the tendrils*

*Upon doing so, a flower spawns on the tendril* [Lydia is bending her leg, attempting to kick it hard using an improved Dance of Vines attack.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the flower seems to fail to affect the thing... only serving to annoy it. your Dance kick hits and deals considerable damage, but the creature retains its grip. it shoves a limb at your face, covering it in a wet thud... you attempt to hold your breath, but feel as suddenly perception dissolves into bubbles and you lose consciousness...*

*you awake. Master stands in front of you, a limb gently placed on your shoulder, keeping you from falling over from lack of balance.*

Master: there. do ███ feel ██████?

*you do in fact feel pretty ok, though very confused. who are you? why can't you remember your name? what just happened? what were you doing?*

Master: I took the ███████ of investigating your ████████, and you've been through quite some █████████. I tried to fix what i could, but that ██████████ limiter is far stronger than █... ██████████. I have a █████ for you, █████. i need you to get the ████, and destroy ██. then, ███ ███ star, and █████ it back to ██.

*Master pulls back their ████, leaving you standing dumbly.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: couldn’t resist lol. Oh right! Do I still have a plastic mutation?]

*I stand there for a while longer, slowly wavering back and forth*

[serious-tabaxi]

Master: ....hm. i fear we lack the time to figure out how to fix this....

[mountain-goit]

[Lydia wanted to do something, to say anything. But all she could do was stare absentmindedly.]

“M-muh…”

[serious-tabaxi]

Master: Please. Break ring. retrieve ████. remember....

*with that, they fade, leaving a doorway beyond.*

[mountain-goit]

”…break…ring?”

*I look around me, expecting to see a ring*

[serious-tabaxi]

*far above, on the cieling of the room, a ring hovers, surrounded by wards so thick they partially obscure it.*

[mountain-goit]

[Ooc: what are wards specifically?]

*I look around for my spear, remembering that I dropped it onto the ground*

[serious-tabaxi]

[shielding/protection spells]

*across the room lies your spear, none the worse for wear.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: oh ok.] *I walk over to my spear ad pick it up*

*I make a few practice swings*

[serious-tabaxi]

*feels.... light.*

[mountain-goit]

*I walk around the room, inspecting the wards as I go*

[serious-tabaxi]

*its a multilayer general-purpose ward system- not exceptionally strange but still indicative of a high quality caster.*

[mountain-goit]

*I bend my knees* *I raise my spear above me*

*I cast three flowers around me*

[Lydia is attempting to break the seal by jabbing the spear into the wards using the momentum of a supercharged jump.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*you jump and get to just about the height of the seal- follow up with a spear attack?*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: Correcta-mundo!]

*I envelope the crystal with energy and launch it towards the ring*

[Ooc: Finally got to use this drawing!]

[serious-tabaxi]

*it appears the wards are too well made, and manage- barely- to deflect the spears power.*

[mountain-goit]

[ooc: did I make a dent or a crack in one of them?]

*I fall down after throwing my spear*

*I roll upon landing onto the ground*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it seems to have done superficial damage... you fear you'd need a better vantage to make strikes strong enough to destroy the wards.*

[mountain-goit]

”If only Madeline was here…”

*I look around for any walls to use*

[ooc: Is Lydia’s spear lodged in the wards?]

[serious-tabaxi]

]it's not. it landed against the cieling and shortly fell down.*

*the ring is equidistant from all of the walls, providing no easiest path to get to it.*

[mountain-goit]

*As I was looking around, I spotted my spear and promptly caught it before it hit the ground*

“phew”

*I walk towards the wall to inspect it*

[serious-tabaxi]

*solid rock of a dark and rough tint.*

[mountain-goit]

Hmmmm…

*I jab my spear into the rock*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it lamely just bounces off*

[mountain-goit]

(ooc: dammit. I had this mission impossible idea)

Dammit.

*I imbue my crystal spear with energy and then strike the wall again*

—

Note: It’s a stronger jab, and for clarification: Lydia is using both technique and strength to make a hole into the wall.

[serious-tabaxi]

*a door appears directly where you were in the process of striking and your momentum carries you through it.*

*the room has a question reading "Of the elements that can be used with elemental Harmony, which has the least compatibility with Divinity?", while the answers read Earth, Fire, water, air, Darkness, Light, Spacetime.*

[mountain-goit]

*I immediately try to rush back* What?!?

No! The ring!!!

[me: *ahhh*]

[serious-tabaxi]

*there's no way back- the doorway you just passed through is gone.*

[mountain-goit]

*I growl in frustration*

Auuughhhh, I was so close.

*I swivel back to the question*

Divinity, darkness, those two hardly work out

*I rush through the door labeled “darkness”*

[serious-tabaxi]

*suddenly, your vision blacks out for a few seconds. when it returns, it's.... multiplied? you feel like you're seeing quadruple, much like a spider might.... a simile literalized when you feel an abdomen and extra legs popping out of your backside.*

[SMAB: 4734]

*the room you enter reads: "Of the methods of magic that use mana, which does not draw mana from the caster but uses the ambiant mana to cast spells?" the answers; "Rune Circle", "Enchantment", "Chanting", "Bardic", "Aura", and "Calculation"*

[mountain-goit]

ahhh fuuck

*I feel incredibly itchy*

I hate this-I hate this-I hate this (I say as I try to scratch myself).

[serious-tabaxi]

*scratching soothes the itch but does not make the new limbs dematerialize....*

*strangely enough, after even a few steps you're already used to how you have to move now.*

[mountain-goit]

*Upon realizing how to move with my eight(?) new legs, I begin to practice my hoof exercises*

[Lydia now moves faster than usual.]

Whoa! (I exclaim as I felt the rush of air)

I might be able to use this

[serious-tabaxi]

*it is significantly faster, though you fear the shape of your new legs isn't granting you the optimal traction your former legs produced.*

[mountain-goit]

Fast but slippery…Rampaging Whirlwind is bouta kick some monster ass

*I look back at the question*

Oh right, that.

(Ooc: I’m gonna take a sneak break)

[serious-tabaxi]

*...*

[mountain-goit]

*I look at the question and then at the door labeled “Rune Circle”*

I gotta get back to that ring

Let’s hope that this answer doesn’t screw me over

*I walk through the “Rune Circle” door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the next room reads "Take an extra fight for Double or Nothing? or take a safe route to win?*

*the doors, predictably, read "fight" and "safe"*

[mountain-goit]

Double or Nothin!!

*I go through the “fight” door*

[serious-tabaxi]

*you find yourself in a truly colossal room, perfectly flat, with a distant but gargantuan entity.*

*I prepare to swing my crystal spear*

*At the same time, I bend all of my eight knees and supercharge jumped straight at their face at breakneck speed*

[serious-tabaxi]

*they seem to have already known what you were about to do, but still move too slow to completely block!*

[mountain-goit]

*I swing my spear to slice through the face, enveloping my energy around the blade upon contact*

[ooc: Is this how a “Black Flash” works?]

[serious-tabaxi]

*it growls and swipes with a smaller limb at you, but you see very little damage was dealt to it- its ████ blood only barely drawn.*

[mountain-goit]

*I summoned a vine onto the boss to swing around it*

[I can be Spiderman or Levi Ackerman!! (But I need to eat nooo 😖]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the limb barely misses, but you're hit with the backwards-flying elbow of a different limb mid-gyration.*

[mountain-goit]

*after being struck by the limb, I throw my spear to anchor it onto another limb with a mixture of vines and spider-webs*

[Lydia is surprised that she could do that, but she maintains her focus in the heat of battle.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the beast swimgs wildly at you, blades flying all over the place.*

[mountain-goit]

*I swing around the limbs and blades, hoping that they’ll get entangled as I continue to create more spider web vines*

[serious-tabaxi]

*you begin to entangle them but your swinging vine is accidentally severed and you're flung away*

[mountain-goit]

Oh Shit!

*I brace myself for the fall by sending energy throughout my body*

[Lydia intends to land on her hooves, but is struggling to figure her rotation.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*you make an awkward landing, but are relatively unharmed. the enemy turns to look at you.*

[mountain-goit]

*I glance at its direction*

‘What kind of power are they looking for?’ (I pondered)

*I make a few warm up stretches*

’What else do I have?’ (I thought as I stretched).

[serious-tabaxi]

*??? pulls a massive javelin from nowhere and flings it at you.*

[mountain-goit]

Oh Shi-

*I quickly sidestep to dodge the massive javelin*

Ok, ok.

Choice A, get my spear back.

*I study the gigantic boss, looking for my spear*

[serious-tabaxi]

*your spear is partially stuck in one of its mid-size limbs... you'll have to get really close to reach it.*

[mountain-goit]

*I quickly study the limbs, making a rough plan to get it*

Ok, jump-jump-jump snatch.

*I start preparing a supercharged jump, aiming for the best spot to bounce*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it trundles over, summoning polearms as it approaches*

[mountain-goit]

*I calculate the new path using my extra eyes*

*I steady my aim, making sure not to flinch for even a moment*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it leaps at you-!*

[mountain-goit]

*I leap at its arms with blinding speed to bounce towards my spear!*

[serious-tabaxi]

*you manage to reach it and yank it out, a small amount of uncolored blood spraying from the wound.*

[mountain-goit]

*I attach a line of spider silk vines to the head of the thing*

Time to use Rampaging Whirlwind for once,

*I jump far from the head, keeping my hand on the vines*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it turns and swings two polearms at you.*

[mountain-goit]

*I bounce off the two polearms to stretch the vine ever further*

[Lydia is planning to stretch far enough to snap back to the head, spinning like a yoyo to slam an energy infused spear into its face.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*it begins to move, slowly at first but accelerating, after you.*

[mountain-goit]

*I yank the vine and spin rapidly towards the boss, enveloping some energy into the crystal spear*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it reacts too slow*

[mountain-goit]

*I slam the spear into the face of the boss with tremendous force*

[serious-tabaxi]

*its knocked back by the blow, colorless blood splurging out.*

*...but not dead.*

[mountain-goit]

*I’m hella dizzy*

Fauuuckk, I need to-urp!

*I nearly hurled/vomited*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it throws what can be only described as a fuckton of explosives at you.*

[mountain-goit]

*I force myself to immediately jump to the right*

[Note: She’s going to the right side of the boss.]

[serious-tabaxi]

*the bombs fly on by, exploding and leaving plumes of smoke in their wake*

[mountain-goit]

*I skid over to a safe spot and placed a hand on my head*

My fuckin head bro. (i say with heavy breaths)

[serious-tabaxi]

*the monster stares at you, unmoving.*

[mountain-goit]

*My headache cleared up for a bit*

Ok, I think I’m fine.

*I attached a spider silk vine to its forehead and ready my spear for a jab*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it moves- too slow- to stop you.*

[mountain-goit]

Here it is, BOZO!

*I envelope some magic flowers around the crystal spear*

Magic Petal Rush!

*I yank the spider-silk vine and zoom towards the boss’s face once again* [The magic flowers leave behind a spiraling trail of mana and floating petals.]

*the boss fades, leaving no remains. a ladder appears, vertically spanning the full distance to the ring above.*

[ooc: I had a rush of emotions when I got this reblog.]

WOOOOO (I scream out loud)

*after a short celebration, I quickly recompose myself to at the ladder*

….oh….my legs….how am I going to use the ladder?

[serious-tabaxi]

*the ladder does not respond.*

[mountain-goit]

…right, right. Just climb.

*I awkwardly climb up the ladder, my legs occasionally slipping off*

Bruh—bro.

[serious-tabaxi]

*you reach the top, and see that the ring's defensive wards are all but removed.*

Oh what?

*I scan the area for any traps, despite my initial surprise*

[ooc: just checking, quick note: what color is it?]

[serious-tabaxi]

[light blue and brightly glowing]

*you dont sense or see any traps.*

[mountain-goit]

*I slowly advance to the bright ring*

Ok, time to end this.

*I prepare a stance and swing my spear into the ring with brute strength*

[serious-tabaxi]

*it cracks, a spiderweb fracture, flickering both its light and the light of the room.*

[mountain-goit]

*I swing my crystal spear into the ring again*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the attack chips a portion of the ring off, and you feel a rumble as the walls around you start to fade, revealing all the monsters in the challenge.*

[mountain-goit]

Oh shit!

*I immediately charge a Rampaging Whirlwind, waiting to parry an attack*

[serious-tabaxi]

*they all turn, though, and start fighting each other!*

*you see some kind of crystal thing jumping Master, who is struggling to defend themself.*

[mountain-goit]

DUUUDEEEE! (I shout with worry)

*I felt compelled to ditch the attack and run to his aid*

[serious-tabaxi]

Master: I WILL ██ FINE! FOCUS ██ ███ RING!

[mountain-goit]

RIGHTRIGHT

*I power up my attack and stamp one of my hooves onto the platform*

I swear these hits better be good

*I unleash Rampaging Whirlwind to strike the ring about 6-8 times*

(Ooc: This is the closest description about Rampaging Whirlwind that I can find 3:| )

[serious-tabaxi]

*the ring cracks- and shatters into glitter. from the center of the space the ring used to occupy, a tiny light begins to glimmer, slowly lowering. a tiny, miniature Star.*

[mountain-goit]

*after the attack, I end up dizzy and nauseous*

*but this time, I managed to recover a little sooner by shaking my head*

No way…is that…a star? (I say as my eyes glitter from the sight of the star).

(Ooc: I am so sorry, I fell asleep to rest my back and woke up extremely late)

[serious-tabaxi]

*it continues slowly lowering towards you, in no particular hurry.*

[mountain-goit]

*I reach out to the star*

...what now?

[serious-tabaxi]

Master: Quick! █████ ██ to me!

[mountain-goit]

OH SHI-

*I quickly yeet the star towards Master*

All yours!

[serious-tabaxi]

*Master barely catches it, outpacing the monster they're fighting to do so. all the other monsters turn to face Master, and charge as a unified force.*

*you dont have the time to react before master uses the star, and disappears.*

*the monsters all turn to you, in their wake.*

[mountain-goit]

You...YOU...

WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! (I roar in rage)

*I immediately glance around the room, using all of my eyes to calculate an escape plan, charging up all eight of my legs*

[serious-tabaxi]

*the monsters all charge at the same time.*

[mountain-goit]

*I charge my legs a bit more, studying the monsters in front of me*

Jump. Just jump. Just JUMP.

*I stay in place, waiting for the best angle to jump, gripping my spear*
