Northward!

Ae's directions are a little off, so I'll wait for someone else to respond or repost them (if I fix them myself I know you guys would claim me a saboteur /< )

I went north. Twice, by accident, to save time. A series of oddly familiar events followed.

Kill Abydos

Eh?

Fawbob: Disbalance the Drudge
Shuri: N, E, NE, Attack the Drudge
Fooruman: N, NE, Attack the Drudge
Ar4chez4n: E, NE, Attack the Drudge
Fawbob: E, E

Attacking takes a move and fooruman only has two moves.

Ae, would this be better?

Fawbob: Disbalance the Drudge
Shuri: NE, NE, Attack the Drudge
Fooruman: NE, Attack the Drudge
Ar4chez4n: NE, NE, Attack the Drudge
Fawbob: E, E

I'll have to go with Stijn because he posted first. Cooba's commands work and do the same thing as Ae's.


[Disbalance] Uberbob points at the Drudge, and his mechanical arm pops open. A small device pokes out, and pushes the Drudge off-balance with a strange blue beam
Shuriken dramatically slices the Drudge (10 damage)
the Drudge is met by much firey whippage (8 damage)
Fooruman and his canoe fight the Drudge. Mainly the canoe. (10 damage)
the Drudge dies
Abydos defends
[Freeze] Abydos opens its door and an icy trickle of water pours out, mixing into the snow. Suddenly, snow pours up from the bridge and covers Fooruman/Canoe, then freezes solid!

Aw crap, we lost Fooruman D=

Oh no, I thought there was still another turn before the bridge shrinks.
Not sure if it'd work but:

Fawbob: Anti-Magic Fooruman, defend.
Shuri: SW, W, W, Attack the Lurker
Ar4chez4n: W, W, Attack the Lurker
Fooruman: W, W

Is the freeze a dispellable debuff, Rad? I was hoping so D;

It's a one-turn thing that already took effect. The dispellable things appear in mouseover after the (+) or (-).

EDIT: Note that that's a subtraction sign in parenthesis, not a censored word.

Does the E.Sphere actually float over the nothing?

No. It can just hover, so it falls in.

Rules question: how does freeze work? Does it prevent the character from doing anything in their next turn (spells/movement/attack/defend), or is it something more subtle?

I think it prevents you from doing anything, including spells, because Fooruman's spells disappeared from the spells list. Most especially Quantum Squaredance

Technically, it switches their team and brings their movement to 0 for one turn.

Ar4chez4n: Hypnotize the Lurker
the Lurker: SE, Attack the Lurker
Shuriken: SW, Attack the Lurker
Ar4chez4n: SW, Attack the Lurker
Fawbob: NW, Attack the Lurker

What would happen if we somehow gave them extra movement this turn?

They'd still not be able to move until your next turn.

Also, the Lurker can't attack itself.

Shuri: W, W, Attack the Lurker
Fawbob: NW, N
Ar4chez4n: SW, W, Summon Mythslayer S of the Lurker
Mythslayer: Attack the Lurker

Shuriken dramatically slices the Lurker (5 damage)

the Mythslayer slashes the Lurker (4 damage)
Fooruman/Canoe falls into the pit.
Fooruman/Canoe dies
[Frost Armor] Abydos's eyes darken and its door pulls closely shut as trickling streams of water pour up the wall and onto its door. The water freezes and hardens into a thick armor of ice. (double defense)
the Lurker lunges at the Mythslayer (5 damage)
Abydos defends

the Mythslayer: Slay the Lurker, then Attack the Lurker
Shuri: Attack Abydos
Fawbob: Defend
Ar4chez4n: Defend

[Slay] The Mythslayer swings his sword and a blast of light follows in the wake of the blade. As it flies it takes form as a swordblade of light and picks up speed, and within seconds it has so much momentum that it blows clean through the Lurker
the Mythslayer slashes the Lurker (4 damage)
Shuriken dramatically slices Abydos (2 damage)
Faw/Uberbob defends

Abydos opens its door. The shadows beyond form into a tongue, which lashes out and pulls Shuriken into its jaws... (6 damage)
[Last Breath] the Lurker shudders and raises its arms. It begins to twitch hideously and fall apart, then, in the midst of it's death-throes, it is suddenly calm... and lifts itself up like a puppet, dark energies defining it's form even where there is no body left, ready for a final struggle.

Shuri: Defend
Fawbob: Defender Shuri, Defend
Ar4chez4n: Defend

Shuriken defends
[Defender] Fawriel points at Shuriken, and traces out a pentagon in the air. Suddenly, Shuriken is clad in new armor, armor of solid magic

Abydos opens its door. The shadows beyond form into a tongue, which lashes out and pulls Shuriken into its jaws... (3 damage)

Shuriken's new armor is very spiffy

Ar4chez4n: S, Summon AWA North of self
AWA: Attack Fawbob
Fawbob: Attack the Servant
Shuri: Defend

[Summon Arabian War Acupuncturist] L33tz4n takes out a handful of needles and holds them up. A sandstorm whips through the air, and when it clears an Arabian War Accupuncturist stands in front of her. He respectfully takes the needles and leaps into position
the Accupuncturist stabs Faw/Uberbob (-6 damage)
Uberbob slaps and Faw stabs the Servant (6 damage)
Shuriken defends
the Lurker lunges at Faw/Uberbob (5 damage)
the Servant claws Faw/Uberbob (5 damage)

Carl complains at Faw/Uberbob until their ears start to bleed (5 damage)
Abydos defends
Shuriken's new armor is very spiffy

Uberbob slaps and Faw stabs the Servant (6 damage)
the Servant is met by much firey whippage (4 damage)
the Servant dies

[Life Drain] Abydos opens its door and a stream of blood issues from it. The blood rears up, shaping itself into the form of a snake, and lunges at the Accupuncturist. It bites, and fades, but its victim begins to bleed, and that blood pours down the abyss to Abydos...
Abydos defends
Shuriken's new armor is very spiffy
the Accupuncturist bleeds away more life...

Ar4chez4n: S, S, Haste AWA

Fawbob: Defend

Goodnight, I hope nobody messes this up D=

Er, is that your final answer?

Fawbob: SW
AWA: SW, Attack (Heal) Faw
Arazen: Lightning on Carl, Defend
Shuri: Defend

afaik my commands seem to be the only ones that dont involve a character needlessly falling into a chasm.

2 votes for Blacky makes a majority (small populations are so easy to manage).

the Accupuncturist stabs Faw/Uberbob (-6 damage)
[Lightning] Araches takes the feather off her hat and draws a symbol in the air, which clings there for a moment as a glowing blue rune. It fades, and a bolt of lightning arcs out and fries Carl (10 damage)
Araches/L33tz4n defends
Shuriken defends
Abydos defends
Carl defends
[Life Drain] Abydos opens its door and a stream of blood issues from it. The blood rears up, shaping itself into the form of a snake, and lunges at Shuriken. It bites, and fades, but its victim begins to bleed, and that blood pours down the abyss to Abydos...

Note that that means the turn right after he moves. As in, he can't act during my response move to your turn. I know this wording confused some people last time.

[Hypnotize] L33tz4n takes out a stopwatch and waves it around a bit. Carl is too busy laughing at the pathetic attempt at hypnosis to resist the mindmagic spell L33tz4n then casts
Uberbob slaps and Faw stabs Carl (3 damage)
Carl is met by much firey whippage (2 damage)
Shuriken dramatically slices Carl (2 damage)
the Accupuncturist stabs Faw/Uberbob (-6 damage)
[Abyss Sacrafice] Abydos opens its mouth and, from the darkness, suddenly a sickly light shines forth. Abydos screams as part of its mouth melts away and pours into the abyss... and from the abyss comes running up Carl, filling its wounds. (Carl full healed, Abydos damaged by amount restored)
Abydos defends

Shuriken dies.

Fawbob: AntiMagic AWA, defend
AWA: NE, N, attack Fawbob.
Arazen: Attack Carl

Quick question: why did we do half damage to Carl?

Carl had defended last turn.

Carls defense was still activated. This turn, however, you do full damage (since you moved him rather than having him defend. I'm not sure why you would ever hypno someone to defend)

[AntiMagic] Uberbob jumps up and down a couple times then shouts something unintelligable. Somehow this process locks off the Accupuncturist's magic aura
Faw/Uberbob defends
the Accupuncturist stabs Faw/Uberbob (-6 damage)
Carl is met by much firey whippage (4 damage)
Abydos defends

Fawbob: Raise Shuriken, attack Carl
Ar4chez4n: SW, Attack Carl
Shuriken: S, SE, Attack Carl
AWA: W, Attack Shuri
