I take my computer and Johnny fabulous with me as we follow JOE. Since size differences of weapons havent been implimented yet, dual wielding doesnt exist, so I take one of Johnny's arms. He only needs one for fighting, after all.

Inspired by JOE's Molotov Cocktail from that one dop way back about 110 posts ago, I create a Black Queen's Cocktail (like a molotov cocktail, but with knife fluid) out of some paper and the bottle of knife fluid, amongst other things.

Once I've arrived where all the enemies are, I light it and throw it at the collection of imp (if I can get the Liches too, that's cool and good) and laugh at the utter devastation birthed from my actions.

"RAAAAAAAAAAGE!" I yell in the air, both as an effort to actually feel as fearless as I was acting, and to intimidate the Imps ahead.
Without any second thought, I then ran into the crowds of imps, swinging my hammers wildly in hopes of hitting some of them.

Huh, that's 25 Imps. I... May have made a bad decision.
No, focus, Arsenical, focus! You beat something bigger than all these guys combined! You can do this!

I pull out both the gashammer and the Nailmelter as I psyche myself up. Let's get that adrenaline flowin', brain!

You Psych Up for this fight!

Note: The GM does not condone intentionally giving concussions to people, even those you hate.
The Fifth Player is ready to rumble!
Using a rock, two imps which got too close to you, and a magnifying glass, you make a single laser cannon. 4 damage to 3 imps.

You Hire a Samurai.
Chequewriter && Needles (1/6) Gold Standard. Syringes filled with Liquid Gold. This could be interesting.

This round, Plague and Arsenical Levelled up!

Plague is now a TESLA FANATIC. Your LEVEL 5 BATTLE TECHNIQUE is NUCLEARIZE. Use radiation and convenient lab accidents to give someone superpowers for two rounds. Has a ten round cooldown.

Arsenical is an AMATEUR ARSONIST.
Your FIRST BRANCH OF BATTLE TECHNIQUES is based around PYROMANCY, the art of seeing the future through FIRE.
Your LEVEL 1 BATTLE TECHNIQUE is GAZE, where you look into fire and get pointers on what to do next. Also, you set something on fire first, preferably an enemy.

The Robots defeat four imps themselves, and The Samurai Katanas a Lich for 8 damage. Now it's the Underling Turn. First off, they all pick up knives. Oh dear. Imp Group B goes to attack Johnny 5, and deal 8 damage to him. Imp Group A tries to attack Joe, keyword being tried. They deal four damage to him, but each take three damage in the process. Imp Group B goes to attack Johnny 5, and deal 8 damage to him. Imp Group C targets the players, and deal 3 damage to FeatheredDragon, Plague and Arsenical. One Lich conjured fireballs and throws them at the Samurai and ParadoxDragonPaci. The former is immune to fire for now, and the latter takes 3 damage. The other Lich whistles for backup. Another fifteen imps appear. The Ohgodwhat idles.

Right now, Johnny Five is in Critical Condition. Someone should help him out. The Imps have been divided into groups, for ease of attacking.

[UND] Ohgodwhat 40/40 HP. Nuclear.
[UND] Imp GROUP D 5/5 HP. x15.
[UND] Imp GROUP A 2/5 HP. x6. Wielding knives!
[UND] Imp GROUP B 3/5 HP. x8. Wielding knives!
[UND] Imp GROUP C 1/5 HP. x3. Wielding knives!
[UND] Lich 25/25 HP.
[UND] Lich 17/25 HP.

[SAM] A Samurai 17/20 HP. 3 AC. Dissapears in 4 rounds, unless you give him money.

[PLA] Plague126 17/20 HP. NUCLEARIZE 1/10 1 AC. 1/3 Punch Out SPECIAL ABILITY
[PLA] JoeBOB 26/20 HP. 2 AC. Getting Attacked Reflects 2 Damage back at attacker.
[PLA] ThatOtherGuy 20/20 HP. 4 AC. CMAFLAG
[PLA] Paradoxdragonpaci 20/20 HP. 1 AC. Fireproof!
[PLA] FeatheredDragon 17/20 HP.
[PLA] Arsenical 17/20 HP
[RBT] Johnny 5 1/10 HP, 2 AC. Is Alive.
[RBT] 5J 12/12 HP, 2 AC. Ready to Rumble.
[RBT] Johnny Fabulous 10/10 HP. 3 AC. Wearing a Jacket and Armed with a Cattle Prod!
[RBT] Judge 5 10/10 HP, 3 AC. Wielding the Lawknife!

Will be getting abilities soon

Doctor's Healing Coat (5/5)
Steel Dowel (5/8)

In the middle of battle I pause to catch my breath, only to notice the sudden density of knife-wielding Imps. You know, I'd really like to stick around, but I think my Alchemization just finished cooking and I don't want it to burn. Tactical retreat!

However, as I ran through the crowd, I passed the... Oh god what is that. Who made this? Why?
I taste the radiation on my tongue as I near it, and I just can't help myself.

"Guys, try pacifying this thing! We really don't want it to have a MELTDOWN!"
With the lack of anyone in sight, I point finger guns at the abomination and walk backwards towards the Alchemiter.

Chequewriter && Needles (2/6) Gold Standard
Pile of Adjectives ll SA Knife (4/6) Platonic Knife

Uh, I look around in mild confusion of where I am and blink in confusion when the words SBURB popped into my mind. Was I supposed to know what that is?

Shrugging the words and confusion away, I sit idly in one of the ruins nearby, I hear the sound of combat nearby. Not really wanting to go investigate with nothing on hand, I rummage through the pile of rusted metal objects shuffled away in the corner I was sitting next to.

Lighter || glyph amulet 7/7
I hold the glyph amulet and channel its magic, sharpening my katana-shaped rod into a proper katana.
Katana && soul sword replica 1/?
Since the katana was made by taking metal and shaping it, there can't be any code repetition, maybe!

Tazer || Piece of Paper with “magic” == 4/5
Needles || Stink == Tearmaker Syringe 3/3

I take the Tearmaker Syringe and extract some tears from a lich, then slap him in the face with his own tears. You lack enough pain tolerance to not cry when simply syringed? How could you ever become a lich! You couldn't, that's right. Meaning you're not a lich after all! You're just an imp with some fancy robes!

I write up a few more bills then offer them to the group A imps. Before they can do anything, I slash them with money so fast it gives them serious paper cuts.

'Uh uh uh, you weren't patient and now you .... paid the price.'

Shoes && Nailmelter (1/?)
Steel Dowel (6/8)

At the Alchemiter, I put in my shoes and the nailmelter (Fire. Kicks. It's a million dollar idea) then grabbed the doctor's coat, watching it go into one of the weird card things at the side of my vision. Wait, what IS that?
I pick up a rock, and as the strange rectangle pops up again to put the rock into my inventory, I grab it out of the air. Seems to be something called a Captchalogue Card. Huh. I toss it near the Alchemiter, for future use.
