Defeat the Godmodder 2: Alchemiquest

[TheGoldenBoy2188]

OOC: Wait what didn't you say I caught it in the last update?

1... 2... Aww! It appeared to be caught!

Click to shrink...

Alright never mind I stop fighting and go to paradoxdragonpaci and ask him to use his paradox wand on the alchemiter as the opposite of neutral would be aggressive, don't worry I have a plan. After that I go to Algot and ask him to give me the alchemiter remote to see if I could fix it with my Research facility and finally I go to my facility and look at whatever data they found on the alchemiter.

 

[Splashcat]

Action 1: Book of Anagrams && Obscenely Dense Religious Tome || Pen of Puns (Intent: Okay you know my Kabbalah pen alchemies in MSPAradox that I use for wordplay attacks? Yeah something like that.) (Once again, I use the Forge if Alastair's good with that.)

Action 2: I conjure a cloud of powdered beryllium around Tricky, then burn it in a jet of pure oxygen. This is the most exothermic non-nuclear reaction listed on Energy density Extended Reference Table - Wikipedia , releasing an astounding 23.9 megajoules of energy per kilogram of reactants burned. Tricky is burned, melted and vaporized in the resulting conflagration.

Action 3: I summon a Grist Synthesizer of my own.

Spoiler: Inventory

[LVL 2] Obscenely Dense Religious Book: An absolutely massive book containing the ideals of omniquantism - and therefore, the ideals of every single god, because all of them exist and are correct. Despite this, the book still has a massive amount of contradictions within itself.

[LVL 2] Pen of Puns: A pen that forces it's user's hand to write absolutely terrible puns. Could potentially be used as a debuff?

[LVL 4 / LVL 3] Infinite Vacuum/Infinite Repeller: A Bag of Holding capable of sucking in everything loose around it, and sending it to the infinite abyss it contains. / Allows stuff to be repelled away from the small bag that is the vacuum. When combined, you realize you essentially have a fantasy-style knockoff of a Poltergust!

[LVL 5] Modern Elemental Wand:
A wand capable of harnessing the elements in a more modern way, allowing manipulation of an individual element on the periodic table. Allows any action based around this a bonus of 3000 Player Power.

[Alastair Dragovich]

I swear and proceed to try and call for more help- but then pause.

I take out a list, then call from that.

Soon, a Sci-fi version of Bob The Builder showed up. he smiles gratefully.

"Oh hey! Alastair, right? D.I.G.I. told me about you. What seems to be the problem?"

"I've got a Festive Fort Grist in dire need of repair - structural damage. What are your hiring rates for the problem again?"

Sci Fi Bob winces. "Oh, that's a lot of damage. And I'm figuring there's a Godmodder war going on?" With my nod he takes his iconic hat off enough to scratch his head. "I'm afraid you'll want to take me on as a permanent hire for the war, and that will cost extra. Do you even have the funds?"

I grimace. "I uh... may have made an impulse donation to a charity recently."

"How much?"

"Yes." I think for a moment. "If I provide the materials, could we save working out payment details for the endangerment and man hours later?"

Bob conidered it. "Hmm... on the one hand, I was created without the original Bob's standard assortment of friends and vehicles, so I can't say I have anyone to support in the event of my death... but even so working for essentially free doesn't sound ideal. I'm afraid I'll have to decline."

I nod. "Alright. I'll think of something. Thank you very much!"

That sucked. As Bob flies away I can't help but think that. But at the same time, the fact that former entities have free will now and won't just stop because I'm not around eases my troubled thoughts. Still...

I head into the Grist Forge. There's more than one way to get some aid. Or rather, make some. It'll have nothing on Bob, but hopefully 3 Actions worth of Grist Forging and however much Grist it'll take, starting with my own supply and dipping into the reserve if I have to, will get me a Grist Repair Robot that's capable of repairing Festive Fort Grist at a reasonable clip.

While I take a break in the middle of the Forging process, I give orders to those manning our weaponry.

"Keep up the pressure on Tricky by shoot at his feet. The improbable tap dancing feats should force him to drain his Improbabilty drive down much quicker and easier. And maybe a bullet or canonball will actually hit!"

With that done, I get back and finish the Grist Repair Robot, and give it its first order to repair the damage wrought by Tricky on the Fort.

...I feel like I'm forgetting something though. Right. Someone told me something. Who was it?

I get the feeling it was something Meta. But I've been trying to cut down on the direct Meta reading, so I resolve to check the Update terminal logs the second I get some more Grist and Actions to make a GristPhone or something.

(x2)(Chromatic Shurikens)(Paradox Wand) Under my Telekinetic Control, I slam a few dozen Flaming Red Shurikens into Tricky, melting his Ice and ruining his Cool, however, this is but a distraction.Tricky is a Jester, a figure to be mocked and Laughed at. Well, let's laugh at him then. The Shurikens form a Ring of Fire as the Paradox Wand takes the Ice from his name and enchanted the Fire, I conjure a whip and smack it threateningly. Well, let's have the Jester perform a Ring of Fire trick shall we?? When Tricky does so, the Ring of Fire immediately constricts him, burning him as canned laughter plays...and continues...on and on even as nobody actually laughs.

(x1)(All in One)I grab from the All in One a set of Builder's Tools, and with some Conjured Materials, repair the Festive Fort Grist, whistling Christmas songs as I do.

I join the Science Faction, why ?? Because MAD MAGISCIENCE TIME !!

Tricky uses up 3 Improbability Reserve to reduce the damage by making the fire improbably cool, but still takes 6 damage from the actions! You sense that fire is definitely a part of the weakness! Fort Grist is repaired by 8000 HP! You join the [SC] faction!

The Blowdart Gun, but now with fire attacked to it. This changes it to a fire-based attack, and up's it damage to deal 2000 extra damage in total.

For some reason, you feel like the color of the ink will change depending on your team.

Superhero Vest || Stolen Health Aegis:

Alright never mind I stop fighting and go to paradoxdragonpaci and ask him to use his paradox wand on the alchemiter as the opposite of neutral would be aggressive, don't worry I have a plan.

Click to shrink...

No. I was quoting Pokemon, and... it "appeared" to be caught doesn't mean it was caught.

Anyways. Most of these are Free Actions and don't require your actual Player Power, so you just ask Paradox and Algot. Looking at your research facility, it appears test results are still inconclusive. You'll have to wait until they finish up.

Action 1: Book of Anagrams && Obscenely Dense Religious Tome || Pen of Puns (Intent: Okay you know my Kabbalah pen alchemies in MSPAradox that I use for wordplay attacks? Yeah something like that.) (Once again, I use the Forge if Alastair's good with that.)

Action 2: I conjure a cloud of powdered beryllium around Tricky, then burn it in a jet of pure oxygen. This is the most exothermic non-nuclear reaction listed on Energy density Extended Reference Table - Wikipedia , releasing an astounding 23.9 megajoules of energy per kilogram of reactants burned.

Tricky is burnt heavily by the chemical reaction, dealing 4 damage to him! The Grist Synthesizer is summoned, but can't exactly do anything but give a structure a Grist Cache! You'll need to attach it to something.

Although the table looks cool in a post, it kinda breaks down when you're quoting it. I wonder how the quote will show up.

Cannon Pistol && Cueball:
[LVL 3 - 5000 Grist] Cueball Pistol:
The Cannon Pistol, but it shoots an impossibly large pool ball. Although it does the same amount of damage as the Cannon Pistol (3000 extra), it might be more effective on billards-based entities, like The Felt. Well, assuming they show up at least.

A wand covered in various arcane glyphs, the item is capable of summoning a large variety of glyphs and using them in a variety of ways. Boosts any action related to these by a base of 3000 Player Power.

Five Small Glass Vials && Glyphic Magic:

I grimace. "I uh... may have made an impulse donation to a charity recently."

"How much?"

"Yes." I think for a moment. "If I provide the materials, could we save working out payment details for the endangerment and man hours later?"

Bob conidered it. "Hmm... on the one hand, I was created without the original Bob's standard assortment of friends and vehicles, so I can't say I have anyone to support in the event of my death... but even so working for essentially free doesn't sound ideal. I'm afraid I'll have to decline."

You focus, and manage to construct the Grist Repair Robot using what's probably too much Grist! 36000 Grist is left in the reserve pile, but it grants Festive Fort Grist a grand total of 4000 Regen a Turn!

End of Turn Battle:
Festive Fort Grist fires on Tricky's feet, dealing 2 damage of HV to him as he's forced to use a point of improbability reserve to keep his feet moving! All AG forces also realize that they need a total of 3 entities to be safe from Player Injury by the Godmodder, a requirement they don't currently meet due to everything being piled into Fort Grist! Fort Grist regens to full health! The Alchemiter Research Facility builds a charge!

All of the Science entities collectively deal 1 point of HV damage to Tricky! The L.O.B.A.V. finishes it's charge and produces a Zombie Trooper!

The remaining Unaligned forces attack Tricky, and deal 1 damage as well!

The Godmodder releases the Grist he formed to summon a secondary wave of entities! Disoriented by the fact they were just summoned, they'll have to wait until next turn to attack...

Tricky looks at ParadoxDragonPaci and Ghost Armor 1337! Irritated because he can't attack either of them directly, the Magitech Library finds itself encased in ice and snow, along with the MagnaGuard suddenly being teleported a thousand feet up and falling to their deaths! Unaligned Players find themselves vulnerable!

Secondly, my name is not JoeBOB. I don't know where you could have possibly gotten that idea. For example, JoeBOB has never been known to perform manual labour for the purposes of obtaining resources from the ground, something I shall demonstrate my non-JoeBOB capacity to do by mining for grist right now. They are also widely known, per the records of the previously-believed-to-be final Godmodding War, to have given up on the use of glyphs after Verraad created a glyph-nullification medalion(see The Vault), and I have Just alchemized glyph items.
Thirdly, I chip the ground and make a series of channels into the ground in the hole resulting from my mining for Grist, and pour some concentrated Glyph Magic into them, creating a runic array designed to mine the surrounding area for Grist. the concentrated glyph magic is consumed in this process.

Suddenly I realize that making the Alchemiter aggressive while a boss is on the field is not a good idea so I quickly stop Paradoxdragonpaci. After that I decide to make my own Grist Synthesizer too! Then I charge Tricky using the Steel Swiftsword's ability to split my attack into two

1. I attack Tricky with my sword by jumping high into the air and summoning my purple bloodlust aura to amp up my attack as I fall I slam my sword into Tricky and my bloodlust aura explodes shattering the ground beneath our feet and causing the air to whip around the force is so powerful that my blade heats up like a hot knife causing extra damage!

2. I take out my spherical shooter and fire at the cracks on Tricky's health vial causing it to break and shatter more!

Then I remember how the Paradox Wand didn't work due to Tricky's chaotic nature. So I create the Alignment Changer! A item that can change the alignment of any intelligent being!

A sword that can ink the enemy and cover them in black, similar to a game of Splatoon. Deals 2,500 extra damage to them when used as a part of an attack action.

Plastic Armor && Comic Books:
[LVL 2 - 2000 Grist] Comical Armor
A plastic suit of armor that can shift to replicate a classic suit of superhero armor. The only problem is that it's plastic, and therefore doesn't posses the same powers as the real thing. Still provides basic protection.

Comical Armor || Bullet Proof Vest:
[LVL 2 - 2000 Grist] Superhero's Vest:

[LVL 4 - 7000 Grist] Ink-Blade Pro:
The Ink-Blade, but with a slightly different design, and now bearing an uncanny resemblance to a Splatoon weapon.

For some reason, you feel like the color of the ink will change depending on your team.

Action 1: I summon a Grist Reserve to hook my Grist Synthesizer up to.

Action 2: I use the Modern Elemental Wand to force the frozen H2O that surrounds Tricky to rearrange its chemical structure, with two water molecules forming one of hydrogen peroxide and one of hydrogen gas, according to the formula 2 H2O + magic -> H2O2 + H2. The peroxide does what (concentrated) peroxide does and thoroughly bleaches Tricky, while the hydrogen gas is set off by a spark to create another flaming explosion.

Action 3: I take out the Pen of Religious Wordplay and flip the Obscenely Dense Religious Book to the King James Version of the Bible:

Then the Lord rained upon Sodom Tricky and upon Gomorrah Tricky again brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;
And he overthrew those cities that clown, and all the plain his HV, and all the inhabitants of the cities improbability in his reserve, and that ice which grew froze upon the ground.

[LVL 2] Obscenely Dense Religious Book: An absolutely massive book containing the ideals of omniquantism - and therefore, the ideals of every single god, because all of them exist and are correct. Despite this, the book still has a massive amount of contradictions within itself.

[LVL 2] Pen of Puns: A pen that forces it's user's hand to write absolutely terrible puns. Could potentially be used as a debuff?

[LVL 4 / LVL 3] Infinite Vacuum/Infinite Repeller: A Bag of Holding capable of sucking in everything loose around it, and sending it to the infinite abyss it contains. / Allows stuff to be repelled away from the small bag that is the vacuum. When combined, you realize you essentially have a fantasy-style knockoff of a Poltergust!

[LVL 5] Modern Elemental Wand:
A wand capable of harnessing the elements in a more modern way, allowing manipulation of an individual element on the periodic table. Allows any action based around this a bonus of 3000 Player Power.

[LVL 5] Pen of Religious Wordplay: A pen capable of rearranging the letters in any religious book to create bad puns, and then utilizing them attack. Like the Modern Elemental Wand, this gives a basic boost of 3000 Player Power to any action it relates to.

 

[Alastair Dragovich]

I growl, trying to think. As I do so I begin to make a Grist Phone to work of my frustrations, using the Grist Forge to do so. Thoughts of previous years slide in and out through my mind.

One memory comes to mind about how D.I.G.I. and I took on a hostile enemy Snowball. An impossible engine of self improvement. To defeat it required a Critical soul weakness..

When I finish the Grist Phone, I set it aside and begin trying to create a new kind of Grist. First, I grind the grist down into fine, sand-like particles. Then I use the forge to melt and reshape them. My mind immediately comes up with plans for a Grist Glassblowing Station, but that's for later.

Because now I've created grist Glass!

With my final Action I begin to research all manner of magic and runes. Both already existent and conveniently supplied by player powers. And eventually I inscribe a sigil upon a sample of my Grist Glass and turn it into a 'Glass of Truesight!' I don't think it'll see the Critical Soul Weakness, but it should be a good starting point in such efforts. Not to mention it might give us more easily acted upon weaknesses to kill him before we hit the point of needing a CSW.

"Hey! Someone use this to get a read on how we can nail this Jester to the wall!" I shout out to my allies. "Also, more bleed effects might be useful!"

Preview: the phrase "Bad Wolf" && the phrase "A Nice Grandma" && the phrase "Determination" && the phrase "Don't Panic":
The Alchemiter tires of your shenanigans and spits out the same alchemy as before. Phrasing and such don't have a difference, only the direct items fed into it do. The phrase-like nature of all the items just would change it into a phrase of some sort, but it's all the same as it was already a fairytale, a spoken work of words.

Both the The Indigo Conspiracy and the The Orange Company are created!

Meggy is created, although missing a significant amount of her abilities and not... quite up to your specifications. This is mainly due to a combination of a lack of Grist/Actions and either being a part of the entity's description or just being an ability that all entities already have! Take a look at her stat block in the EoTB if you actually want to see what you managed to create.

Utilizing all three of the standard actions instead of just one due to otherwise wasting it, you deal 9 damage to the Health Vial!

Essentially, the way this works is that previews can be done once a turn as a free action, not costing any of the three for your turn. Attempting to create an Alchemy is slightly different, always requiring an action. The output of it will be created and given to the person who alchemized the object, assuming they have enough Grist to create the object - and if they don't then they simply don't get the item or entity and the action is wasted.

The peroxide does what (concentrated) peroxide does and thoroughly bleaches Tricky, while the hydrogen gas is set off by a spark to create another flaming explosion.

Action 3: I take out the Pen of Religious Wordplay and flip the Obscenely Dense Religious Book to the King James Version of the Bible:

- Genesis 19:24-25, probably.

Spoiler: Inventory

[LVL 2] Obscenely Dense Religious Book: An absolutely massive book containing the ideals of omniquantism - and therefore, the ideals of every single god, because all of them exist and are correct. Despite this, the book still has a massive amount of contradictions within itself.

[LVL 2] Pen of Puns: A pen that forces it's user's hand to write absolutely terrible puns. Could potentially be used as a debuff?

[LVL 4 / LVL 3] Infinite Vacuum/Infinite Repeller: A Bag of Holding capable of sucking in everything loose around it, and sending it to the infinite abyss it contains. / Allows stuff to be repelled away from the small bag that is the vacuum. When combined, you realize you essentially have a fantasy-style knockoff of a Poltergust!

[LVL 5] Modern Elemental Wand:
A wand capable of harnessing the elements in a more modern way, allowing manipulation of an individual element on the periodic table. Allows any action based around this a bonus of 3000 Player Power.

[LVL 5] Pen of Religious Wordplay: A pen capable of rearranging the letters in any religious book to create bad puns, and then utilizing them attack. Like the Modern Elemental Wand, this gives a basic boost of 3000 Player Power to any action it relates to.

A lone Grist Reserve is summoned under your name, and given it's own building to work with! Ironically enough, this makes all the AGs have the entity protection rule, making them invulnerable to attack until their entities are defeated!

Tricky takes another 4 damage from the chemical reactions, before utilizing 5 of it's Improbability Reserve to tank through the direct order of God!

I growl, trying to think. As I do so I begin to make a Grist Phone to work of my frustrations, using the Grist Forge to do so. Thoughts of previous years slide in and out through my mind.

One memory comes to mind about how D.I.G.I. and I took on a hostile enemy Snowball. An impossible engine of self improvement. To defeat it required a Critical soul weakness..

When I finish the Grist Phone, I set it aside and begin trying to create a new kind of Grist. First, I grind the grist down into fine, sand-like particles. Then I use the forge to melt and reshape them. My mind immediately comes up with plans for a Grist Glassblowing Station, but that's for later.

Because now I've created grist Glass!

With my final Action I begin to research all manner of magic and runes. Both already existent and conveniently supplied by player powers. And eventually I inscribe a sigil upon a sample of my Grist Glass and turn it into a 'Glass of Truesight!' I don't think it'll see the Critical Soul Weakness, but it should be a good starting point in such efforts. Not to mention it might give us more easily acted upon weaknesses to kill him before we hit the point of needing a CSW.

"Hey! Someone use this to get a read on how we can nail this Jester to the wall!" I shout out to my allies. "Also, more bleed effects might be useful!"

Click to shrink...

You create the Grist Phone, allowing you to directly read the Updates as I see them - a whole bunch of words I type to help guide the battle into not complete chaos. That being said, hi.

Grist Glass is created! This does nothing much at first, but as you turn it into the Glass of Truesight, you're able to see significantly more on the grand scheme of things. Instananeously, statistics and the like begin appearing around Tricky, including things like it's current Health Vial value and Improbability Reserve... and more hidden information. Although hidden and garbled with a bunch of other statistics, you're able to figure bits of Tricky's weaknesses:

- Fire
- W??e?
- ??????? ??????

Despite this, a good chunk of it seems... garbled or even outright missing. This will require further information or testing to break through...
Also, 20000 Grist is spent to make the Glasses of Truesight, combined with the two actions spent.

I smile as I type in the commands for my L.O.B.A.V to begin production of another Zombie Trooper, having the other one start patrolling along with the Security Drones.

Hmm, I should probably increase defenses of this place....

I create a new recipe, Tower && Sandbags && Security Drones && Floodlights.

Along with creating a Grist Production Unit of some sorts...

Hmm, ah!

I create the Grist Reactor! Which will convert airborne Molecules into useable Grist for my projects!

I place it next to the Dual Grist Foundry.

Recipes&Inventory:
Staff of Withering
Bionic Laboratory
L.O.B.A.V

Actions:

I have the L.O.B.A.V create a new Zombie Trooper.

I create a new recipe!

I create the Grist Reactor!

Click to shrink...

The LOBAV will start creating another Zombie Trooper!

Tower && Sandbags && Security Drones && Floodlights:
[LVL 6 - 20000 Grist] Security Tower:
A tower designed to make the place even more secure. Revealing many hidden intruders if they should enter into the area, it also adds onto the LOBAV's max HP and gives it an attack stat as well! [In a nutshell, the stats of the place just got upgraded.]

The Grist Reactor, although essentially a renamed Grist Synthesizer, is attached to the reactor and added onto the side of the Dual Grist Foundry at full efficiency.

Focus: I start recording a video.

First I show a clip of my Thousand Degree Knife heating up via Blowtorch while backed by a obnoxiously cheerful sound track.

Then I test said knife aginst several miscellaneous objects such as an Ice cube, beach ball and clown doll.

Then I move on to the main attraction. First I use the forbidden instamancy technique known as forced perspective to effectively shrink Tricky, Ice Jester.

Then I proceed to cut him.

Click to shrink...

((OOC - ... Well, that's a trend that didn't need to get brought back from last decade. Geez, I need to update more often. Sorry...))
You deal 9 damage to Tricky through a dead trend and it not being able to counter it, do to not having enough Improbability Reserve!

I stagger out from the portal and gain my bearings. I seem to have lost my dojutsu, but kept my wings. That's fine. Good, even.

I take a deep breath and yell, "ALASTAAAAAIIIRRRRR!!!"

Click to shrink...

You yell loud enough that Alastair literally couldn't NOT notice. I think.
Welcome to this end of the battle, though. Long story short... things are definitely different here. You get the customary 5000 Grist to start with though, so... uh, use it wisely.

[Science] hungry visitor - 17000 Grist
Inventory:
Magnetic Field Rejector
(gun that shoots cones of shortlived fields that do not have any magnetism in them, disables bioelectricity) (currently being modified to make matter temporary disappear in the cones additionally)

The Artificer's Guide to Magitech
A book titled and written by an unknown artificer from the world of Eberron. Contains highly useful insights on the usage and creation of magitech items, allowing it's user to do yet more with the creation of magitech items.

Screwdriver Stylus
A stylus with a headed screwdriver on the back, allowing for both to be used in quick conjunction.

Real Estate:
Magitech Library - 10000/10000 HP, 2000 Defense, allows for studying and better actions with magitech (frozen)

Way too cold in here... I get out of the frozen library. I need some sort of new place.
Workshop || inner magic circuitry of the Magnetic field Rejector

I work on my Magnetic field rejector using the screwdriver stylus and the artificers guide and take refuge in the building that my alchemy may conjure.

Click to shrink...

The library is no longer frozen... but, uh okay.

Workshop || Inner Magic Circuitry of the Magnetic Field Rejector -
[LVL 7 - 30000 Grist] Magitech Device Workshop -
A location that could either be added onto another building to create a complex or standing on it's own, this can further boost any and all actions relating to the tinkering with magitech items like the Magnetic Field Rejector.

Working on the Magnetic Field Rejector, you realize... this isn't exactly that anymore. Let's see what we have here...
[LVL 7 Equivalent] Reality Rejector:
A jet black pistol that is capable of creating short-lived cones of what is essentially chaos as all laws of reality are temporarily disabled. It's capable of dealing an additional 6000 damage when used as a part of an action, and is also pretty... dang decent as a weapon. Huh. I think this might be one of the more viable things you guys have created so far, along with some of the other higher level weaponry. Not bad!

End of Turn Battle:
Festive Fort Grist fires on Tricky againt, dealing 2 damage of HV! The Alchemiter Research Facility builds a charge, and produces a... Revelation Point? I thought those died out in the last Godmodding War... nevertheless, I'm sure it'll come in handy eventually. I'll classify it under the Research Facility's area for now until I can find a use for this...

All of the Science entities collectively deal 2 points of HV damage to Tricky! The L.O.B.A.V. builds it's charge!

Meggy utilizes her turn to damage one of the the Backup Jesters!

The remaining Unaligned forces attack the Backup Jesters as well, further damaging one!

The Godmodder gets an idea, seeing how the primary actions have been setting up Grist generators. Everyone finds their various generators stolen by the Godmodder Mind Control Stealy Thingy (TM)!

Tricky directs it's attention to the AG forces, as they find themselves... hm. Nothing is actually happening. Well, wonder how that-
"NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!"
The Cannoneer and Grist Repair Bot find themselves caught so off guard by this development as the Spanish Inquisiton stabs both of them directly in the chest! This somehow doesn't kill them, instead making it so that they're stunned for the next turn!

The Backup Jesters boost Tricky's Improbability Reserve! The kids smack the walls of Fort Grist with a variety of iceballs, dealing 8000 damage to the structure! The parents give scoffs of disapproval at anyone who dares mention their kids, which is nobody - so they kinda waste their turn.

Finally, all Unaligned Players are thrown into different alignments (AG or Neutral) depending on their actions so far!
