I'm staying right where I am.

Due to time constraints + I played too much Mario Maker, there will be no second updop today. Especially because people need to move out of the way of the explosion and whatnot.

Due to the nature of the document (several tabs, rule pages, grid maps, character sheets), I can't simply post it in text. I'm sorry.

It says somewhere only mods can remove them. Fseftr / Numbersoup, can you delete the "two spell choices" poll?

Beam the Chaos Drone. Stupid mooks, getting in my way.

=TURN TEN=

As the Origin Creeper shatters into thousands of pieces, the arena explodes, shards of sandstone and cobble flying into the distance, off the ends of the island holding the arena. And thanks to the Origin Creeper, you can escape from the Arena! Chaos lets out a deafening shriek as the blast rocks the very mindscape, shattering the skies and causing a rainbow blood-like substance to rain from the sky. Chaos's voice then echoes out through the land.

cc: you gorillaholes.
cc: i ra(t)her liked (t)ha(t) arena.

He watches as you all run from the smoking ruins, across a thin wooden bridge connecting two floating islands. The island ahead appears to densely covered in trees; pink ones in fact. And as you near the end of the bridge, you hear the telltale sound of a laser charging. The sound is very clearly coming from the far-off mountain that nearly scratches the sky.

cc: we ©ould've had fun (t)oge(t)her.
cc: you ©ould've all had fun figh(t)ing wave af(t)er wave and dying.
cc: but now I must dele(t)e you.

A beam of orchid light blasts from the peak of the mountain, penetrating the skies above.

cc: prepare (t)o be wiped from the minds©ape.
cc: in 5, in 4, in 3, in 2, in 1...

Nothing happens. The light fades.

cc: oh ©ome on.
cc: sof(t)ware error.
cc: as long as you gorillas are here, i can'(t) fix it ei(t)her.
cc: bu(t) i always have a plan b.
cc: even if said plan b was only ©on©eived four se©onds ago.
cc: (t)his is goodbye for now.
cc: and if you value no(t) being messily slaugh(t)ered by my 'friend', don'(t) cross into the re©olle©(t)ion woods.
cc: bye.


You then proceed to instantly ignore Chaos's warning and cross over into the Recollection Woods anyway. Who knows what beasts lie in wait in these lush, pink woods? And how will you escape Chaos's grasp? Only time will tell...

Chapter 1: A Stolen Memory

Welcome to the RECOLLECTION WOODS, the first official zone of the game! The (slightly) updated Rules section will help guide you throughout the woods! Various puzzles and decisions await; these can determine how badly screwed you are, and determine various rewards you get! Somewhere in these woods is a shop; you can exchange certain items for weapons and potions that'll hopefully save you from death!

Use creativity to solve problems! If there's a boulder blocking your path, odds are you can go full standard DTG on it and summon a giant chairnado to sweep it off into the distance. However, some routes will require important items to proceed. Tread lightly, and as per usual, don't die!

New items have been discovered! Go check them out in the Bestiary / Inventory tab!

I want that grenade rifle and origin powder so badly.

As for use of skill points, I'm putting them into bumping my Agility up to 3 (in total, 4, counting the boost from my aura).

Originally posted on 2015-09-26 04:01:00

I pick up and examine the pendant.

Originally posted on 2015-09-26 04:27:00

I vote for me to get the Grenade Launcher so that I CAN ACTUALLY ATTACK FROM RANGE. I take the time to heal myself. I add fireball to my arsenal to save my life.

((adding totem to spells for slot 2))

Ugh...that was not fun.

I don't even recognize anything here, including all of you guys. Considering you guys didn't try to hurt me or something, I guess you guys are friendly.

I don't know what's even going on, can one of you guys explain it?

Might as well be useful and check this crate.

Pit? tries to open the crate by prying it open with a crossbow dart.

Redstone, if you take the Grenade Rifle (not launcher), you would have massive range, but you could take only one shot before being forced to reload-that's every other attack at best. If range is what you want, You can alternatively switch to the Spear, which has a range of 2 (though it is weaker than the Rapier) and much more consistent damage. In fact, I recommend it in this case, as we need tanks.

I vote Piono gets the Origin Powder because his Pistols need it to take advantage of their passive to the fullest and do more damage per turn. Plus I don't want to encourage Generic's Beam Spam. I don't think the Grenade Rifle is really worth it; it's powerful for its splash, but if someone is standing right next to a boss or an enemy for some reason it'll become dangerous to use.

I take the extra Spell and shuffle my spells around, if that's legal: I'm changing Zillycharm to Enchant Weapon and I'm taking the extra Spell slot to pick Blink. I think that helps better, Zillycharm is kind of situational, and thinking it over it's harder to exploit that with Ice Pillar for Wall Shenanigans. If I can't change it, eh, I'll stick with Enchant Weapon because I'm already pretty fast...

Uhh, Ire, how many skill points did we get? If any?

OH, yeah. I investigate the Triangular Pendant on the ground and speak to it. "Hello? Uh, abracadabra, alakazam, avada kedavra, something from cthulhu mythos, teapot, flak the world, gravity falls, we have need of your services, your aunt bessie, beep beep boop bop boop beep, i am not a robot, four, arglefargle. Thank you."

Foxfire counts as a multi target attack, right? So... the Origin Powder would give +2 damage...

Also, Willow still counts as a summon. It would just make no sense for her to be constantly appearing and disappearing. Wilson still has to cast the spell, 'summon', or order for her to actually do anything.

======================

Willow is lying on the ground, dazed after presumably getting blasted away by the explosion. I probably should have mentioned this when I first summoned her, but she's an ender dragon. Well, a rather small ender dragon. Anyway, as soon as she is on her feet, she calls out,

Ugh... W... Wilson? Wilson!

She runs over to where Wilson is lying on his side and starts slowly shaking him.

Wilson! Are you okay? Can you hear me?

Wilson climbed to his feet and shook himself.

I... think so...

Willow's expression instantly softened and she said,

Alright... that's good.

Wilson, feeling confused, walks over to one of the fallen trees and looks through the Grid to to detect signs of electromagnetism or heat inside them.


Willow turns to look at not-Pit. I'll try to spare the long physical description of Willow because this really isn't the place.

Hello. I never said my name. My name is Cynder.

Said Willow, confidently.

Everyone got +3 Skill Points. That's +1 to a stat or +3 HP / MP. Or you can pool it for later.
(for some reason)

Let's grab Ice Pillar. Better Beaming. You know, at a giant cost. I then pull out Cipher's Call-wait what do you mean this is a totally nondescript and possibly not even canon sidequesty thing? Screw you I'm using it anyways. I light the vein of yellow stuff on fire. This is clearly the most important action to take. Nah, just kidding. I mine it out WITH the fire. Yes that is totally a valid action.

Originally posted on 2015-09-26 10:33:00

So we can have an extra spell, yes?

I take Heal and raise intelligence.

Originally posted on 2015-09-26 15:25:00

Okay, I swap out my cowl for the chaos drone hat, then up my health for all three points, as well as taking the origin powder in place of the finale.
I take heal as my extra spell.
I need to find a way to up my pistol's range though.

Okay, Hank shrugs and cuts down the webs with his katana (which, because of gameplay logic, can't be used in battle) before doing something completely out of character and tossing a grenade into the fallen wood.

=TURN ELEVEN=

First off, Engie increases his AGI score to 3 (4 total). Fseftr then examines the triangular Pendant. It's a flat charm made of solid gold, with lines made of onyx surrounding it. A singular hollow oval lies just above the center of the triangle, and a small, hat shape made of onyx tops the tip. Redstone then takes time to apply additional medication to himself, recovering 4 HP. He also then commits the spell Fireball to heart.

Pit then learns Totem, and attempts to pry open a crate with a crossbow dart. The crate is oddly resilient, and takes (3) damage from your efforts. Odds are, you'll need to smash the crate with creative power! Tazz then snatches the Triangular Pendant from Fseftr and starts yelling things at it, namely things about not being a robot. A voice comes out of it...

TH1S 1S A PRE-REC0RDED MESSAGE, S0 D0N'T B0THER TALK1NG T0 ME! THE NAME'S B1LL C1PHER! 1 S0MEH0W D0UBT Y0U'RE N0T A R0B0T, S0 S0LVE TH1S CAPTCHA!

A small scroll pops out with a grid and various numbers on it. Huh. Solve this and post a picture of it completed to prove that you are in fact, not a robot.

Wilson then takes a look at the Fallen Trees, and scans them. He then finds a heat source; there's some sort of spider, being held in place by the fallen tree. It'll take some work to get it out. But do you want to free it? Who knows what it'll do? Insert then learns Ice Pillar, and attempts to pull out Cipher's Call. Unfortunately, untold forces (namely the triangular pendant) prevent you from pulling it out. Insert then fires a firelaser at the vein of yellow stuff, partially exploding it. +2 Gold!

Fseftr then learns Heal, and increases his INT by 1. Piono then equips the Chaos Drone Dome, the Origin Gunpowder and increases his Max HP by 3. Hank then lobs a grenade towards the Fallen Trees. It'll explode in 1 turn, and probably kill the spider too. He also cuts down the webs for little to no reason.

=TURN END=

OK, hrm...I'm going to buff my HP with that, raise it by +3. I'm not going Mage and I don't really need the extra mana; Same with INT though that would be my second choice here; The extra AGI buff is OK but I can't rely on dodge chance all the time and I'm going to have to be really close; and right now I can't really bring myself to justify +1 to my upper damage range.

Also, Ire, you missed skill changes: I'm taking Enchant Weapon, and if at all possible I want to switch out Zillycharm for Blink.

I see the trapped Spider and immediately unload several shotgun shells into whatever happens to be trapping it, even if several shotgun shells would be monumentous overkill for whatever it is. I then get the spider out of there, say hello to it, hug it, call it George, and give it a Rat I decided to hammerspace so George can eat it. Friendly friends! :3

I'll have Wilson go full on support I guess. So, +1 to AGI for that extra point of movement and learn Grid gravity manipulation. AKA, telekinesis. Range 6, move a target 3 spaces. Seems alright.
