"totally called the whole opposing factions thing"

Toast sits around for a bit, probably having been the first person to die while deathdazed. Probably. Realising that this is going to be the centre of glitch and hopefully not explosion activity, she leaves, passes by Bill, and grabs the hunk of gold. On the way to leave, she revs up her chainsaw with light and does what chainsaws were made to do: chain-kill innocent mooks murder innocent cinder trees. She does the samurai thing, dashing through a large group of them. Nothing seems to happen, but slowly the top half of each tree seems to slide slowly off the bottom.

This somehow heals her because trees can take damage too.

Toast collects the wood, then heads over to the Testing Facility.

Well, we have good news and bad news and good news about the Gasterblaster Tome. Redstone whispers to Glitch Temmie, The good news is that Bill or the pyramid de- I mean triangle doesn't have it and the Secretaries have it. The bad news is that Bill wants it and we'll have to kill the Secretaries for it, and I've already caused enough trouble here. The good news is that Bill will give us a copy of the tome if we give it to him. So it's sorta a win-win-lose-lose. You get what you want, Bill gets what he wants, were helping your rival because we want to help everyone, and we're probably going to be left out with no spell.

EDIT: Redstone gets muffled by Roxxanne before he can even say a word. He shrugs off Roxxanne.

Okay, jeez!

Redstone waves goodbye to Glitch Temmie and walks over to the park. He then asks a local Secretary about his opinion on both Glitch Temmie and Bill.

After that, Redstone switches out TemsTwo for Beam, heads to the Shipping + Receiving fight, moves to E4, and beams east doesn't change his skills and heads over to the Testing Facilities. He suddenly glows with a Red Aura. Kinda looks like he's on fire. The symbol for Time appears behind him and grows. Eventually, he casts a red beam with his hands at the Testing Chamber 001 Facility Doors. Suddenly, it begins to age. The doors become rustier and rustier until it's just a pile of rust. It's just really rusty. The aura disappears.

If the Doors are already destroyed, he does the following instead. He still does it if the doors are not dead.

Redstone then attempts to extract Darkness from 2 of the grave fragments. He then infuses the darkness with his Cloak, making the Shadow Cloak. This is Basically a souped up version of the original (starter) item giving 15% or 10% (depending on 15% dodge is OP or not) dodge chance, and the same AGI as before.

EDIT EDIT: Going all the way back to the 1st page...

I've been wondering who "scrap metal, consumer, and keyboard" refer to. For a while, I thought that Scrap Metal referred to Redstone. However, now that I know that engie in the main series controls a ton of drones, I'm not so sure.

Before anything else, I grab Redstone by the tongue before he can speak to the temmies. "Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut the gorilla up." Roxxanne says. Yes, she actually said 'gorilla' and not a curse.

In all seriousness, Redstone, the Temmies don't so much want the spell so much as they don't want anyone else to have it, so if we give it to Bill the temmies will give us nothing even if we give them back the copy. It's a choice between giving it to the temmies for all that l00t, giving it to Bill for a supposedly awesome spell, or unanimously deciding to murder Bill to get both rewards which would be ridiculously hard.

Now then...I take Gladius post-talk and move her away to the base so we can do stuff VERY, VERY undisturbed. But before I begin-I use Scalebrine to pick the Mining Laser, head to the Testing Lab, and fire upon Door number <001> to obliterate it with the wall-destroying special.

----+----

With that mild errand taken care of, Roxxanne first clears out a large area-if one were to describe it, it would take the form of an eleven-by-eleven grid with each square representing approximately 3 meters each, for a total of a 33 by 33 square meter area. She then temporarily changes three spells to Sapsplash, Iceblast and Telekinesis for the purposes of setting everything up. She keeps Beam.

First, Roxxanne creates a simple 3-by-1 slab of Cobblestone, placing it dead center of the designated ritual area. If this was a map, this would be vertical, north-to-south, at E6/G6. Roxxanne then, approximately 9 meters away from both east and west sides of the slab (so at F9 and F3 respectively), place down a single block of Cobblestone each. She also takes a Shovel and digs in two 3-meter deep trenches at I6 and C6. With this done, she proceeds to use her first spell in the creation process: Specifically, she tweaks a beam to be JUST low power enough to merely carve runes into the Cobbelstone. 12 INT is really helpful in using spells for non-combative purposes like this. The runes she carves into the central alter relate to empowerment, union, binding and evolution, similar to some of the runes that went into creating Scalebrine. There are also runes of a more specific sort: A quick take on the runes that are usually found in tomes that teach Enchant Weapon: Fire. The ones on the separate stone slabs carry the same Enchant Weapon: Fire runes, but also diverge from the main area in that they also use other Fire-related runes, and carve into the center a long indentation. Into these indentations an Origin Blaze Rod each is placed. As a note: Both are facing horizontally, and thus towards the main altar.

With this done, Roxxanne proceeds to pull out the Glitch Gel and some handy glitch-proof gloves. Careful, she creates more runes for a runesquare, like before with Scalebrine. However, these are different-they are more...Cubical, shall we say. Angular. Reminiscent of actual graphical glitches in ye old Pokemon games-indeed, a few patches bear passing resemblence to Missingno himself. This runesquare is also much larger-it extends around the entire outer perimeter of the designated rune circle area. Finally, when a certain sequence of runes is done, Roxxanne proceeds to cautiously fill up the runesquare with the units of Glitch Gel, one per designated 3-by-3 meter square of runes.. The cubical, digital-looking runes, as soon as they are completed, 'glow' a mildly glitchy aura, which doesn't harm anything, merely indicating they are ready to be activated. All in all, Roxxanne expends approximately 40 units of Glitch Gel in this process.

Roxxanne proceeds to pull out six logs of Cinder Wood, moving away from the ritual area and carefully moving over the runesquare instead of stepping on it. She stacks up three logs each into two poles of wood, and uses Sapsplash on the result to make them stick together. The fire of the Cinder trees easily causes the sap to burn, and the burnt sap quickly hardens, creating a loose adhesive so the wood sticks together. This done, Roxxanne proceeds to carve more runes into these, this time runes associated with fire. She carefully does so with a miniaturized version of the Beam spell cast from her fingertips, using the light energy as a method to remotely carve out the runes of choice cleanly. The end result of this carving looks suspiciously like a supersized tiki in practice, with heads of burning flame. She also manages to carve out two Cinderwood sticks, which are left alone for now but are still to be recalled later. This done, she uses Telekinesis to hover the logs over the circle and herself leap over, without so much as mildly disturbing the inlaid rune circles, and places both totems into the aformentioned trenches she dug earlier. She makes sure to take breaks in between to user her mana properly, but she doesn't really need to do much other than meditate to regain it as it isn't a combat situation.

With this done, Roxxanne once again leaps out of the outer Runecircle to the area where she created the Cinderwood Totems. She proceeds to simply tear out the leather of some of the infinite Spellbook weapons that the group has, which must be fireproof to survive uses of Enchant Weapon: Fire. She also tears up a Mage Robe for the fabric. With the leather, she rebinds it together into cylinders with the needle from the Omnisdisciplinary Crafting Station and some of the fabric from a mage robe, creating multiple cyndrilical casings for something small, like a candle. Approximately twenty-one of these were made, probably a few more than needed. She then uses thicker fabric from the Mage Robes to create effective wicks, which she places within the casing and somehow manages to erect. With this done, she proceeds to use a shovel to dig out small holes for the candle casings to fit into.

12 INT really helps when manipulating spells for non-combat purposes. In this case, Roxxanne proceeds to use a heavily modified version of Sapsplash to radically reduce the amount of sap used, creating globs of it to fit into the candle casings (and she makes sure to pull up the wicks so they stick out of the candle casings), careful to not let too much run off from over the top. Once all the casings are filled, Roxxanne mediates to make sure she has the mana, and naturally uninterrupted, she proceeds to create a very low-power Iceblast, which lacks any actual ice and merely cools the sap in the general area.hardens to a solid substance. With this done, Roxxanne pulls out the casings. Ta-da! Twenty one Magical Sap Candles. Of course, this is only a small product of this whole endeavor, but Roxxanne will not use all of them, so the rest will go to whoever sees fit to use them.

Roxxanne heads back into the Runesquare, again careful not to step on the runes she made, and places the candles in the center of the following squares: F4, D5, E5, F5, G5, H5, D6, H6, D7, E7, F7, G7, H7, and F8. 14 Candles. Roxxanne proceeds to create more glitch-based runes around the squares where the candles preside-squares that, by no coincidence, are also adjacent to the Cobblestone alters and the Cinderwood totems, which she also takes into account. She is VERY careful to not let the fire of the Cinderwood light the candles just yet. Once the candles and runesquares are set in this manner, Roxxanne coats the runes in Glitch Gel, like before, even more careful not to let them intersect with the Magical Sap Candles. Once the runes are set, they glow again like the outside runes. This process uses up all but 1 of the remaining 15 units of Glitch Gel.

Finally, not leaving the Runesquare this time, Roxxanne proceeds to take out another Mage Robe and cut out a large swath of fabric from the back. Onto this magical fabric, Roxxanne pulls out a small paintbrush used for watercoloring (not to be confused with the Paintbrush weapon), and dips it into a jar of Red Solution. She proceeds to create yet more runes-runes relating to fire, like the ones on the stone slabs that hold up the Origin Blaze Rods. She uses the Red Solution because it does FIRE-type damage and inflicts burning, which is of course related in all of this. She doesn't stop until a sentence is formed in these runes, which takes up the whole thing: "Flamma magna potentia elementarium cum virtute sacri contractus intrabis vas novum et renascentiam urere vetus in fortitudine infirmitas." The whole backside is nearly large enough to totally cover an entire square. She holds onto the result for now.

Finally, she takes out the ©haos Pumpkin. She stares at the slasher smile, unappreciative, before turning it to the backside and with but a simple carving knife included in the Omnidisciplinary Crafting Station, carves in a series of runes: "Miscere." Beneath this she carves another set: "Exsolvo." She then carves out the top of the Pumpkin and places in one last Magical Sap Candle, creating a Magical Jack-O-Lantern. She places the top back on, satisfied, and stores it for now as well.

"Jeez...Those lessons are really paying off now, but it's a shame I can't just do the Blood Majjyk thing," Roxxanne says, mostly to herself. She shuffles the Sapsplash and Iceblast spells away for Firebomb and Enchant Weapon: Fire, and meditates some more to replenish her mana in full.

Once she is fully restored on Mana, she calls out for Gladius: "Yo, Chloe! I'm going to bring you over here, because we're all set to go! Do NOT walk in on your own-its a very sensitive setup and shifting anything might ruin the whole thing and cause you to explode. I'll Telekinetically hover you over. It's inactive for now, so don't worry. You just have to lay down on the stone slab in the center as still as possible, I'll do the incantation and we will be awesomesauce!"

Once Gladius gets to outside the Runesquare, Roxxanne uses Telekinesis to shift her to the inside of the Runesquare, then again to place her on the stone altar, without at any point touching any of the glitch-empowered runes. Once she's situated. Roxxanne places the runed sheet over the central area with Telekinesis as well. It is only now that she takes out fireproof gloves, pulls out the Cinderwood stick from earlier, and uses its flaming properties to ignite all 14 candles around the Altar, making them flare up in multicolored magical potency. Finally, she pulls out the Magical ©haotic Jack-O-Lantern, and leaps atop the totem at C3. Somehow, the flames part at the top, letting Roxxanne stand without fear of reprisal. She sets the Jack-O-Lantern down on top of the totem. She begins to speak.

"O mysticum numerum potentiarum, vocationem meam! Da mihi virtutem! Sacrosancta geometriae studium magicae me, et da mihi fortitudinem!"

At this, the outer rings of glitchy power spring to life. Unlike before with Scalebrine, they snake towards the center much faster, creating new runes and new forms so perfectly, and the glitchiness now rises into a practical wall of graphical distortion, such that telling what's going on inside impossible for any onlookers. At the same time, the runic squares from around the alter now start stretching out as well, but these did not immediately distort the area around Gladius.

"Original flamma mundum de sacra geometries! Audite vocem meam; I, quod Yamata non Orochi est in nomine Domini, venit et vocat te!"

At once, the runes around the slabs on the Origin Blaze Rods, the Rods themselves, and the Magical Candles, all glow bright. The candle's flames becomes an inferno around Gladius. Interestingly, the while the two Origin Blaze Rods erupt into two massive blue streaks of fire that reach into the sky. The runesquare and the inner runes stretch further and further and threatened to get closer together every passing second.

"Sacrum technologici aberrationibus ex Inanis! Audite vocem meam; I, quod Yamata non Orochi est in nomine Domini, venit et vocat te!"

At this, the glitchy substance in the Inner rings sprung forth, and the flames of the candles became something akin to Missingno on fire. Or Missingno trying to transform into fire. Images of Charizard pop up for reasons probably related to M'. Hard to say with Glitch. Roxxanne, meanwhile, took the Jack-O-Lantern and started hovering above the totem.

"Hic error simul et virtute ignis decreto Yamata non Orochi et patiuntur Accipe vas unum, ipsa Gladius!"

At this, the runes on the main altar finally started glowing, and with that, Gladius was now hovering a few meters off of the altar, now unable to properly move. Hopefully she wasn't too freaked out about this. The blanket she was on started at this point defying some linear geometry, stretching out, now completely covering her, as the runes themselves flew off the fabric and burned themselves into the air above her. Roxxanne gripped the Jack-o-Lantern with both hands and continued chanting

"Et repone cum infirmitate et urere unfantomable fortis Egredere, et viderunt, et in nomine tuo virtutes simul iunguntur!"

At this point, the outer and inner runes had connected totally, and the totems in response flared up as well. Roxxanne remained unharmed despite the flames outright touching her at this point, as did the Jack-o-Lantern. She raised it up to the sky, and on the fly, manipulated two spells that were currently in her arsenal, those spells being Firebomb and Enchant Weapon: Fire. A glowing inferno quickly burst around the Jack-o-Lantern, bright enough to be seen even amongst this mass chaos.

"Per hoc praeceptum, merge, miscere, mutare! Hac tum praetoria nave in regeneratione recreare et testimonia tua, et hoc scientes magnitudinem tuam!"

The Jack-o-Lantern, in layman's terms, exploded. A glitchy mess that seemed destructive even for glitchy messes appeared from it, acting like fire, spreading, corrupting, burning, doing something near-unimaginable. This new kind of glitchy flame rushed forwards towards the blanket. Meanwhile, below the altar and stone slabs had also transformed into this glitchy fire, and at this the two Origin Blaze rods flew upwards. Everything, absolutely everything, for one brief moment, reached directly for the Blanket.

On contact, the entire massive circle of death exploded outwards into a huge column of glitchy fire that reached to the multicolored sky above, completely obfuscating all, but one thing: The spherical blanket that Gladius had now been entrapped in. It was glowing a fierce, fiery blue that nothing in the Mindscape could ignore. The air defense systems ©haos had implemented were at this point only failing to go off because they recognized Gladius in there and thus refused to shoot, even as the blue turned to pure white.

Then, the blanket exploded outwards, and the entire glitchy pillar of fire and corruption simply evaporated, leaving a clear view of what was going on now. Roxxanne was clearly Power Floating right up where Gladius now was, but she was hardly the main attraction.

In short: Gladius was a girl on fire, literally. Her Glitch Aura was now blazing forth a mystic blue flame in addition to its usual glitch, bleending together surprisingly well and leaving a similar aesthetic as before. The duo hovered down and out of range of the defense system, giving plenty of time for Gladius to find new appreciation on her new form. Unless everything exploded. Then Lesser Plot Armor would happen instead, but hopefully not.

If all is well, Roxxanne resumes her usual demeanor. "Yaaaaay! Everything was awesome, and now, you are awesome, colon threeeeeeee!" She exclaims.

If not, she immediately treats her with the Birthday cake to heal her up to full immediately and apologizes profusely.

You pick out an Antimatter Bomb from the pile, then chuck it at Door <001>. Said bomb makes the Door Inverted.

You grab another Antimatter Bomb, then load it into the Syring Ubercannon, infusing the Bomb with healing energies. You then shoot it, then it explodes violently, focusing a burst of healing energies at the Door.

The Door stops being inverted. You grab a Rocket Antimatter Bayonet Launcher Thing, then load a few Antimatter Bombs into it. You fire away, then the door gets wrecked.

You grab the rest of the Antimatter stuff, then shove it into the Inventory. It somehow ejects it all into the Door, which is then eviscerated by Antimatter weaponry. You then salvage the Antimatter stuff that WASN'T detonated.

Lyra is currently using the power of group knowledge to look at and then explain us a thing; that Teag's battle has suspiciously raised the limit to 3, and yet somehow she isn't taking that opportunity to harass greet the Secretary. I guess it's the time where Lyra has to pull out the Big whatever Heroes trope when necessary.

She's also wearing sunglasses while looking at it, which seems to serve no other purpose then paranoia (or, in Roxxanne's case, annoyance) as to what she's doing with her eyes behind there. Just be glad you don't have to deal with her after this. please pay me for doing that for you. i still need the money.

Also, she loots the very dangerous weaponry because this is a totally brilliant idea that will not go wrong whatsoever despite laws of group inventory. Lyra then decides to accompany Pi to the southward expedition, because there's a 99% chance there will be strife when she does that.
And because that clearly is the least important part of this post.

So, either we help the temmies and get loads of sweet tem loot, or we can help Bill for the supposedly strong Gasterblaster tome.
But I guess we'll cross or burn that bridge when we come to it.

For now, though, I purchase a box of Tem Tea and a burrito (we SHOULD have the money), head to Ette, and give her the goods. "No problem. Always ready to help a friend."
I then head to the Testing Facilities and stand in front of the Crimson Scale/Door.

If the crimson scale is exposed, I just casually slice it in half. Hey, I still have crit-augment. That's at least 21 damage from me.

If it isn't, I Nightmeld (25%), hook the blade of the weapon into the door, and forcibly pry the door clean off, exposing the scale inside.

If it's already deadified, I decide to climb up the breach in the roof, which may or may not prove to be stupid.

Siria moves to the Testing Facilities and attacks the Facility Doors by swapping her weapon to Assault Mode and firing a barrage of bullets all around the outer edges of the doors, blowing holes in them, before she puts the weapon away and unleashes a barrage of kicks to the doors, blowing them in. She then harnesses the power of DOG to transform the doors on a molecular level into dog, before tossing a pile of molecular-level cats into the doors and leaving the assorted animals to fight it out. Once that is done, she sterilizes the area with a gout of flame from an inexplicable flamethrower, before destabilizing the gluons in the general area of where the doors once were. This, as can be imagined, turns the entire area into an indistinguishable slurry of quarks, before exploding it massively.

REDSTONE THEN ATTEMPTS TO GATHER SOME PURE EDGE DARKNESS FROM THE GRAVE FRAGMENTS, AND SOMEHOW SUCCEEDS. HE FAILS TO INFUSE HIS CLOAK, HOWEVER. EFFORT, REDSTONE. EFFORT.

ROXXANNE THEN...

...

Okay, we have time again.

<UPDATING, IN A MORE NORMAL FASHION THIS TIME>

...

<TURN ONE-HUNDRED AND SIXTY-THREE>

Roxxanne fires a Mining Laser at <001>'s door. Given how this is MEANT to eat walls, this actually deals a fair chunk of damage; (17) damage. decides to upgrade Gladius to a higher form. She takes her near the MW Anti and prepares a ritual. While I would love to describe the process in detail, you can just go read Tazz's post.

As the ritual goes forth and Gladius is lifted up into the air, she starts to shriek as fires engulf the blanket she's covered in. Streaks of blue light rip through the blanket, carving through the area around the Base, instantly engulfing in flames whatever they touched. The ground directly below her begins to liquidfy, flowing straight of Nightmare Mountain's island, and into the void. Azure fire fills the skies as the ritual reaches its apex, Gladius's screams fading as fire consumes the skies of the mindscape. With a massive pulse of flames, the blanket Gladius was wrapped in explodes, a torrent of fire practically frying everything within the Base area.

Gladius floats in the air unconsciously above the spot of the ritual, eight small pillars of glitched blue flame surrounding her. The same flames bellowed off of her body, casting a brilliant light across all that could see her. Her hair, now more resembling a constant stream of fire was even longer than before, easily reaching down below her waist. Alchemical runes for fire dotted some newly materialized greaves upon her legs, matching a well-fitted breastplate and gauntlets that sat above her usual attire. She gently descended to the ground, now hardened after the events of the ritual. Moments later, she began to stir...

ga: ...I-I, what-
ga: Oh, right. Ritual. Fire.

She pushes herself off the ground and stretches, apparently not much worse for wear.

ga: ...That was incredibly painful.
ga: I don't think my plot armor was triggered or anything, thankfully...
ga: On the bright side, I haven't felt like this for a long time.

A smile crosses her face. She seems like a new person; happy and collected. She then reaches out to Roxxanne, and ensnares her in a hug.

ga: Thank you so much, Roxxanne! I love it; the new look, the armor, the... everything!
ga: It's all so... awesome!

She promptly releases you from the hug when she realizes you're now suffering from massive first-degree burns, dealing a total of (17) damage when factoring in weaknesses. She is a creature of fire now, after all.

ga: Oh gorilla! I'm so sorry! I completely forgot!
[small][small]ga: oh god I've only been like this for a few seconds and I've already hurt someone what have I doneeee[/small][/small]

She quickly composes herself after bringing you a bit of coffee, restoring (8) HP to you. With a bit of concentration, the flames surrounding her body die down. Asides from the armor and hair, you can't really tell that she's been through a transformation. She breathes a sigh of relief, and continues to speak.

ga: I'll do my best to help you with this new power you've given me, Roxxanne.
ga: I don't think I could ever repay you for what you've done to help me...
ga: I just hope you can forgive me for slightly lighting you on fire.
[small][small]ga: Hahaha...[/small][/small]

Gladius's stat block has been updated massively. Her old hat was completely obliterated in the firestorm, though. Might wanna get her a new one that can handle the heat. HealerX then grabs an Antimatter Bomb from <002>, and chucks it at Door <001>. Going off of DTG 2 rules for the Antimatter Items, you have a 50% chance to hit both sides, 16% chance to hit yourself, 16% chance for hitting the target, and a 16% chance of hitting the target and having additional nice things happen. With that in mind, the Antimatter Explosive deals (16) damage to the door... and yourself! Because you're not a total idiot, you opt to not chuck another one, as that'd be dangerous to your health.

Battlefury then LEEROYS into the area south of the Rundown House. Before he can get a good visual, he's murdered by the two dudes there. Leeroy-ing into unexplored territory is a bad idea. Jon then slams a pickle jar into the door of Chamber <001>. The pickle doesn't survive, thanks to the door exploding. The Pickle Jar of the Eternal Pickle Lord is destroyed by some flying debris. Lyra then loots several Antimatter Explosives, and a launcher-device. Lyra and Pi then go south, down towards the Bonfire. The two figures are apparently waiting for you to engage by walking through a fog gate of sorts.

Darkside then purchases a box of Tem Tea and a Burrito, before bringing them (and a potion) to Ette. She examines the goods closely, then quickly brews a cup of tea for Marron, leaving it on the bedside table. She stashes away the rest of the box for later use. Ette doesn't seem to be too keen on giving the Burrito to Marron; perhaps she doesn't really like burritos or something. She carefully pours the potion down Marron's mouth.

As she promised, Ette follows you out of the house. She seems a bit hesitant to leave, but it doesn't take long for her to stop hesitating and just go. She follows you out of the house, and to the Testing Facilities...

>Ette has been recruited! She also takes the time to give you some Silkweed and Medical Herbs.

Darkside then casually bashes the Crimson Scale with his chair, a crack running down it as it explodes into tiny fragments. The Operative then goes to the Shipping and Receiving area, joining the battle. You really hate secretaries, don't you...? Mabuz then heads south of the Park, finding the Falls of Reflection. A massive waterfall of lava is present in the area, the lava emanating from it covering most of the floor in lava, with the exception of several isles of rock. There's also a secretary here, reading a book.

Oriko and Oriko then head up north of the Testing Facilities, while Siria idles due to the scale being shattered.

...meanwhile, Marron seems to be stirring. She's not exactly conscious yet, but it seems she will be soon.

<ZONE 6>

THE CRASHED DRONE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOU LEFT IT. THE HULKING MONSTROSITY SEEMS TO BE A GIGANTIC HUMANOID WITH A MASSIVE WOODEN CLUB, RESEMBLING A BAT. DON'T MESS WITH IT. EVERY CODE YOU THEN ENTER INTO THE COLORLESS TERMINAL FAILS.

<BATTLE: SHIPPING AND RECEIVING, TURN TWO>
The Secretary has called in backup, and you should, too. A 2v4 won't end well, even if 3 of the foes will vanish given time. Also be especially careful with the Fading Creeper; it hits HARD. REALLY HARD. NPC backup might be handy here, given the low player cap.

@Ire, weren't there gravcore bits or something in that hunk o' gold?

Toast swaps Counter for Turn(), consumes both the Everlasting Apple and STR Orb (assuming no-one else does), before calling over the newly makeovered Gladius into the S&R fight.
Sup, Glad. Feel like trying out those new abilities of yours? (looking great by the way)

She (Toast) spawns in at B6 and soars over the skeleton to E10, where she uses Turn(), then Whir Up-er (Earth). For some reason she likes to take the long way around.

Gladius spawns in at B6, double attacks the creeper then switches to Gladius form.

SOUL inputs "memory" into the Colorless Terminal. If that fails, it does the same sort of variants as before. It then stands between AC and the Monolith, taunts the former to bait it into performing some explosive charge attacks, before dodging out of the way smokestyle. Hopefully this will destroy the monolith.

Well, that creeper looks in prime position to nuke teag's face off since it can reach BOTH exits, and he's not going to be able to out-kill him even if he gets two lucky crits. Top kek, apex lel, maximum heh.

/null, internally debating a call for help in imminent ayaze fight

Teag does another 11 MP Sentry, this time at B6. He also moves up one space (thanks tazz)
"i betcha a gold that the fading creeper is gonna move to D2"
