Entity Orders: Attack the Terror entities that can't dodge you. Use your specials!
~~~~~~~
I rip an AC off the Terror Pig and use it to cool down DRACO's subsystems. It gets hot in there, especially when he's got Voidfire weapons systems.
Specials:
- Each EoTB, a random allied attack will hit the wrong target, but there will be a +50k boost to the damage.
- 30% chance to dodge, or rather, blink out of the enemy's attack.
The Z Hand rams its smaller rods into the Terror Dog.
HP: 400,000
Attack: 80,000
Special: Element Roulette 0/2
Randomly chooses 1 out of 7 of its components and uses its effect:
"Mana": Revitalizes an ally entity, healing them by 50,000 HP and boosting their attack by 20,000 for one turn.
Strange Ball of Fire: Strikes an enemy entity for 50,000 and gives them a "Burn" status where they lose 20,000 each turn for 5 turns.
Evergrowing Seed: Creates a "Seed" entity with 10,000 HP that, when kept alive after 3 turns, becomes an "Overgrown Plant Monster" entity with 100,000 HP and 50,000 Attack.
Heartfreeze Ice: Inflicts an enemy entity with a "Heartfrozen" status which essentially freezes that entity for 2 turns.
Childish Tempest: Displaces 3 random enemy attacks, causing them to hit different targets instead and reducing each damage by 20,000.
Cosmic Storm: Spawns a "Storm Cloud" entity in between two enemy entities, reducing their hit rates by 40% and dealing 15,000 each turn. The cloud is untargetable, but only lasts for 2 turns.
Richest Soil: Buffs the Elemental Landmark's next attack to 200,000.
The Elemental Landmark strikes at the Terror Donkey

Why did the Terror Chicken cross the Terror Road?
To get to the Terror Other Side!
...
The Terror Chicken gets run over by a Terror Truck as it tries to cross.
"Series of crackling noises, followed by the roar of what seems to be a rocket booster,I am not dim enough to think I have anything like enough power to do anything of the first plan as of now. I have a plan to increase my raw destructive force by many many times, but it will require me to take time from my current reparations. Once I finish making amends, presuming it possible, I intend to start on this plan, and not stop until my might would at a bare minimum require the Godmodder herself to fight seriously if I were to have to combat her. That is the plan at least, and it may take less time than you would imagine. It will require me to use my knowledge of power increasing methods to the spot a slight bit before their limit. I will attempt to find another method if possible. Just a curiosity though, A: would you be offended if I use water as an attack method if force must be used on the, High Council of Nihil Magna, was it, and B: would it have increased effectivity on them. I need to know all my options so as to know whether there is a faster method. Side note, getting armies on my side isn't my style, since, if you noticed, I don't do summoning as much as my... colleagues, I guess. I will make myself capable of freeing your people, or not do it at all, as I will not sacrifice others on a crusade I choose, discluding only if I find one whom has done enough ill to others that I feel giving them a chance to die doing good is their only way of compensating for how awful they are, or if I can't stop them from coming to my aid. Any others I won't put in harms way for my battles. The second of my ideas would not revive in a traditional sense, and I said hope of your people in a slightly more literal sense than you seem to have taken it, though not as literal as completely. If you want more information on it, then please ask, I can discuss the method, even if it only piques your interest slightly. You would be less a leader than a guardian, and death could still find you, but only a worthy one from that point forward would ever have the chance. So think it over, but if you still refuse, I will respect the decision, but I wanted to cleanse any misunderstanding. Also, do not take my statement on the power I intend to reach as bravado or overconfidence, I may not fully reach that level, but I will be much better than I am now. I will speak on this later, so fare you well, until next we speak."
I pull out a small device, which I stab into my hand, but no blood flows. Instead, it becomes filled with raw power, as some leaks into it. 3/40
"Arbiter, I know I am confusing, but I believe you should have noticed I was not dragged into this by the same council as the first group. I guess, from that, that you mostly speak from something akin to wikipedia articles and direct observation for your little summaries then? If so then I would like to know what else you have in capacities besides, as I am a curious man besides all else I have demonstrated. I believe I may have to speak with this group which sent the first Reality Warpers here eventually, so as to learn their intent, but I will get to that later."
"SONG, please inform me of what you can tell of my current position relative to where the trials are. Am I at the wrong spot, wrong time, wrong dimension, anything you can inform me of. I can't seem to tell which is the issue at the moment alone... and tell me, is it that I am just not strong enough, not powerful enough, to manage? Does it simply take more power than I possess to enter that room when it is less damaged? I will get right to repairing that issue as soon as possible if so. I swear I will do all I can to fix my error."

METAL GEAR GUN jets up into the sky, raining justice from above, andbyjusticeImeanohsomanybulletsandchairswaitwhyaretherechairsohtheyexplodethat'swhy
Astrec smiles. These elements will be useful, very useful. He then takes out the Herald's legs, and begins analyzing them. He searches the energies that flow through them, looking intently. Finally, he finds what he is looking for. The Godmodder energy. He picks it apart, scanning it. He then turns to another machine and types up some complex calculations, and presses ENTER. Instantly, the machine whirs, other materials he has prepared mixing with it.
A small ingot of a grayish purple metal pops out. The surface flows around like liquid, but still somehow isn't changing shape in anyway. Astrec eagerly grabs it, and takes a sample. He then records the method he used to make it with, and sends them to a guy he knows, asking if he can make more. The guy says yeah, but he'll need a bunch of payment and- Astrec interrupts by sending him a metric ton of Voidic currency thanks to Descendant powers and his weapons and dangerous materials business. A hour later, he has a stack of those ingots. He then takes the Broadsword of Slap he has, and uses the sword's powers, making the metal able to handle the powers he'll be using. He heads over to a small forge, and crafts up thirty two sword templates from the ingots. That should be more then enough for his plans.
He then takes the first template, and opens up the Ascendant's Edge file, scanning it. Alright, he'll make the Thought, Dream, Sight, one first. He turns to the template, and takes the element of Thought from his stash. He begins channeling his natural powers of Thought and Mind as he heads into his storage, and retrieves some materials he bought a while ago. Some dust that enhances ones thinking powers while in use, some crystals, and other assorted things. He begins chanting softly as he puts the materials together, closing his eyes and imagining very hard the result of this craft. He finishes, a soft pink light bathing the room, and opens his eyes. The materials have fused, the template is gone, and all of his work is done. The first part of the puzzle has been made. Astrec obtains The Clear Thought, a powerful blade embodying the element of thought, and which has complete control of said element. Thanks to the materials used in the construction of this weapon, it has a charge amount instead of durability, which will begin regening once it runs out. It is part of a greater project....
Satisfied, that he is defended, Astrec soulbinds his artifacts to him, causing them to teleport back to his base upon his death. He then poofs back into the Battlefield, and utilizes the power of the Clear Thought to give the Terrors with the highest attack giant headaches and distracting thoughts.
Astrec sends a message to P2 Hey, P2, one of the Descended here. Would you mind chatting with about something for a sec?
You analyze the Herald's legs, to find a distinct lack of Godmodder-based energy. As such, the rest of your Ascendant's Edge crafting fails, at least for now. Maybe find a substitute?
"hello, yes, this is the Second Praetorian speaking"
Grabbing a pair of ULTRA-duty gloves, I sneakily get behind the Terror chicken and *BEEEEEEEP* to extract the egg right before they're laid and before the chicken or anyone can react...
I quickly TELEPORT THE CRAP OUT OF THERE with the egg in hand and hastily conjure a makeshift nest to put the egg in. Through quick examination, the Egg happened to be fertilized but just needs some more care before it can hatch.
After that, I immediately toss away the gloves that are covered in liquid and shudder at what I've done and the moral implications of it.
gah, the facility broke! I quickly reposition my Exo-toa suit to guard the researchers. all squadmate effort as well as james and steffan and the FABBER get to work on trying to restore a modicum of safety. aron keeps trying to find a way to amplify souls, somehow.

Actually getting hit by a spell? Don't be ridiculous. Counterspell!
(Portent roll of 11 means I dispelled Psychic Scream)
Since The Wizard didn't move away from the good boy, the pupper attempts to bite him again.
"Wow, you're pretty good. Not quite good enough, though."
I laugh.
"Hard to get a good read on you. Let's see. Low strength, as one might expect from our kind. Spellcasting like that implies some good somatic skill. HP like that must mean you're one fit wizard. A kindred spirit. Intellect beyond measure. Wisdom low enough that you thought fighting me would be a good idea."
I begin casting a spell...
"And charisma? Gosh golly, why your charisma must be lower than low. Your words roll off the tongue like rocks off a cliff. And as for looks, your face looks like you were standing at the bottom of the cliff!
Low charisma is good."
I cast Banishment on The Wizard. Roll Charisma saving throw vs 27 DC. Using another portent dice, I force the roll to be an 11. The Wizard is banished to a random, harmless demiplane somewhere in the multiverse.
Copy the materials and information from the stuff I inventory'd from Science World to ARCOLOGUS, and then return the original materials to Science World so they can get back to researching whatever.

I press a button on another one of my many remotes.
A Mechanical Bull falls out of the sky and lands next to me.
I proceed to ride the Mechanical Bull like a mechanical bull, by which I mean I ride it straight at the Terror Cow and hop off before the Mechanical Bull gets to critical radius.
The Mechanical Bull lowers its horns and catches the Terror Cow in the midsection, before tossing it up into the air. The Mechanical Bull rears up, and hits the falling Terror Cow with its front hooves. The Mechanical Bull charges over to the fallen Terror Cow and then explodes, with the Terror Cow caught in the blast radius.

Arnold receives a special delivery in the space!mail: It's a Mk.II Securitron!
Securitron MK.II
HP and ATK are reasonable for the charge invested in them.
3 AC, regens 10% max HP per round
Three different options for basic attacks:
Machine Gun: a basic attack
Laser Gun: damage is lowered slightly; ignores 1 AC
Grenades: 1/2 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge
A bonus attack that can be used at the same time as basic attacks:
Rockets: 1/5 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge; AoE 3 (damages target, as well as entity directly above and below target on entity list).
PM if needs re-balancing (which it probably does tbh)
The Mageling Hoarde begins bodyguarding Ishmael, who snipes an enemy.
Securitron MK.II fires laser gun at the terror pig.
Arnold scrys on the Iron God in the elemental plane of fire, who should have found P2's party by now.
Securitron brought to the fight!
You Golem is still observing P2's activities. He is currently talking to some of your allies, as well as drafting up war plans.
A Giant head appears on the battlefield. It is green, and somewhat translucent. It speaks.
"I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SMIRK, BOW BEFORE MY MIGHT, PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE ROBOT BEHIND THE GREEN CURTAIN."
Everyone suddenly notices a green curtain in a corner of the barnyard. The first person to disobey the giant floating head by messing with the curtain is hit by an explosion to the face. Moving on, the Head says, "NOW, YOU WILL BE GIVEN ONE GIFT BY ME, AND THEN I SHALL LEAVE FOR NOW. YES, BY THE WAY, I AM THE ENDER_SMIRK'S DIRECT LINE TO YOU ALL. HE SAYS HELLO, AND HAPPY HUNTING."
The illusory head fades out, and suddenly, a giant grill appears on the battlefield. On it is a note saying "Humanity is on the top of the food chain, these are livestock you are dealing with, take one guess as to the plan."
Back in the void near the Trials.
"I hope I can pull this off. I am, after all, new to this reality warping shtick. I hope no one dies from my failures. I will do all I can to aid peace, and hope. Hope above all must be sheltered."
"ANYHOW, Arbiter, please inform those who sent the first couple reality warpers into battle that if they intend to use force to stop peace negotiations to keep in mind that I at least have never been at their mercy, so any security measures they have to disable the rest will be much less, if at all, effective on me, so tell them that I am willing to bargain with her if she is willing to let those who liked how their world was organized, decided by majority, to rebuild with reality warping help. Also inform them that by the time negotiations begin in earnest I intend to be in a position to lead the negotiations, and therefore keep some control, and that that power will also be likely greater than they can muster, unless I insanely underestimate how many universe they can destroy at once."
Eh... I windmill my arms, trailing cyan from each hand, and two disk-shaped bright pink... disks... appear. I repeat this 4 more times, walking forward as I do. with another wave of my hand, some purple-pink ectoplasmic hands reach through each disk into the extended space the facility was build on. within it lies the minelayer, and all the mines it laid. each ectoplasm hand grabs a mine, then darts back through the portal, leaving the mine before me, where I grab it with telepathy. they repeat this process, until the probably-like-20-or-so mines are all arrayed before me. they were all previously modified to allow templars through, of course. and I arrange them into an icsohedron- each verticy has a mine, and beams of light connect them into a cohesive shape. with a pulse of energy, all the mines activate, but instead of creating gates within themselves- and destroying themselves- the connection results in the creation of a very thin, stable, spherical gate around the entire configuration. on the outside, it looks like a self-sustaining spherical spatial distortion passing through dimensions, but in the middle it looks like a infinitely looping series of dimly-glowing mines.
Through the distortion come templars. I've given them another way to affect the war... and this one's bigger, just as stable. this time, they're also ready. also, P5 uses a whole bunch of magic types and templars disapprove of anyone who uses something other then vintage magic or native templar abilities (hence the purple hands and disks: vintage is pinkish-purplish most of the time, and I don't want them to hate me yet. they aren't as against machines which use it iirc, so the fabber Should be fine.). they especially hate elementalists, which means anyone who uses elemental magic... given the surface similarities between void and the oblivion magic of P5, they'll assume its fundamentally the same most likely, and as such fight the Godmodder's forces to the last, as long as they can actually show up.
plus, since there was an epic battle, they'd probably have seen some hint of non-vintage magic which isn't native templar abilities during that time.
As you tap into the powers of the Shadowscythe, the dubstep in your head intensifies, drowning out all other thought processes, but you are healed to full!
If the Terror Chicken is still living, I take the time to suplex it into a DK cannon which promptly fires the Terror entity into a wall of glue which hits a wall of feathers right after before slamming and impaling itself into the Terror Pig.
If the Chicken has fallen, then I man the Cloning Barracks to have it produce stuff early this turn. I also idly add in two more Clone modifications for more units along with some hen DNA into the cloning pods.
2 CP = Hen, Looks after eggs. (Comes in a variety of size with instincts on how to hatch all sorts of eggs, hence the cost.)
(Orders!)
Lunar Sworn, if he still lives, attempts a strike at the Terror Donkey.
Lunar Matriarch heals up the entity that's closest to death with the Lunar Priest picking the three entities that have the lowest health and unleashing Lunar's Light onto them.
The Cloning Barrack Spits out 2 Clone Riot Troopers in Riot gear, along with a Hen to look after the Egg that I stole.
Troops blaze the Terror Donkey in plasma fire.
Commandos let loose their tactical flashbangs in front of the Terror Cow in hopes of it missing its special next turn.
One of the engineers fixes up the damage on my suit while the other check to see if there's any mechanical AG entity or armor to fix.
Charge 12/40
---------------------------------------------------------------
Today's turn has been quite normal, if I say so myself, what with Player attacks flying by, strangers watching the whole battle, P4 loving all of this, the Terror Donkey asphyxiating in space real hard only to remember that they actually don't need to breathe at all but still end up taking damage from that period of asphyxiation.
35k damage to the Terror Donkey! It's noises make everyone shooketh.
-5 Morale to everyone. The Godmodder scans your entity lineup, and unleashes a surge of Electromagnetic Radiation, disabling several technology-based entities. The wave destroys the Exo-Toa Suits, stuns DRACO, the Winds of Destruction, Cloning Vat and Arcologus, lowers the Barrack's Clone Units gained per round, and damages G.U.N's shielding ability.
P4 panics, and heals the Terror Cow for 200k, raising it's max HP in the process.
The Terror Cow gives JOE a taste of his horns. This kills him. The Terror Pig avenges it's loss of 1 AC from DRACO by ripping into it for 95k damage. The Ferret directly bodyslams Winkins, temporarily killing him as well. The Mouse scurries over and gnaws on the Melee for 120k damage, while the Donkey bucks at the Ranged for 70k, and The Wolf munches on the Clone Barracks for 80k. The Titanic Cows successfully strike the Elemental Landmark for 160k damage, and the Monsterpigs attack the Ranged and Clone Barracks for 60k each.
-6 AG Morale
+3 PG Morale
The researchers panic. This panic probably isn't helped by the fact that even more researchers are being cloned out while they are panicking. The FABBER creates another Guard Drone to protect them all, and Aron finds that they are unable to stretch out souls. Ishmael tries to shoot the Terror Ferret, but it goes off course and veers towards the Terror Dog instead, dealing 90k. "Alright, what the heck just happened."
The Lunar Sworn attacks the Donkey for 30k, the Priest heals the Melee, Ranged and Landmark for 10k, Matriarch heals the Ranged for 50k. The Z-Hand strikes the Terror Dog for 15k, The Healer heals the Melee for 11k, the Melee and Ranged attack the Terror Cow for 45k, the Clone Troopers and Commandos Swarm the Terror Donkey for 54k, the Engineers Repair Draco for 8k, GUN blasts a Titanic Cow for 70k, and the Elemental Landmark creates and evergrowing Seed.

The Elemental Landmark is not affected by technology being disabled. After all, its Exo-Toa suit is utilized only to house the elemental being.
Element Roulette activates, offensive results on the Terror Donkey, "Mana" on Ranged.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sticking true to the Terror Truck's nature of both being operated by such a reckless driver and having a tendency to run over animals(preferably of the Terror kind), it will always run over an allied Terror mob in addition to its normal attack.
...35k damage was too flimsy for the addition of an enemy Elite entity.
]=p;a[pokreisjefiophyiudrmnoigtpntroriueb, you say? Okay!
I create with 3 charge and some pretty concept actualizing zaps-it-into-existence flavorsparkles a Captcharoid Camera so as long as we have pictures or holograms or whatever we don't need the actual items to get their alchemiter recipe codes for concept purposes. And of course, the camera prints out usable pictures for that. Why am I using that when we can usually just call up the things directly? Maybe I don't want the originals on the battlefield just yet.
I project appropriate temporary holograms of a Stand-inducing arrow (a special relic that unspecified spiritual viruslike particles use to draw out the will of the soul and empower it with form) and Igor from Persona (a hero from another story, an animated spirit in service of the Philemon. Igor rules over a Velvet Room on the border between mindscape and reality, with the power to draw out the titular Personas, mental archetypes that allow a person to use magical powers basically, and create Rulers of Power to aid in the process of empowering them and also just being strong wizards themselves), then snap relevant pictures to get those precious, precious ghost images. Guess what I'm going to do next post.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Astrec unleashes a vastest ree at the lack of energy. He then runs to the Grand Alchemiter, and does...
Reality Magykks || On the Properties of the Void By (unintelligible glitch text) = Fabric of the Void
He bottles the Energy, the Fabric of the Void, and uses it
(craftpost from earlier)
Clear Thought created!
I attack the Terrors with the Clear Thought like I tried in my earlier post.
I then open fire with a tranquilizer machine gun, sending a couple hundred rounds into the Monsterpigs and Titanic Cows. Alright, so, sorry for pestering you, but is there any way you could ship over some of the fire that makes up your plane? I need some for a project. Also, are you guys doing well, recovering from the Godmodder?
I make a magic based communicator which has the same range of hearing, and vocalization, which I have at my present position, as SONG seems currently preoccupied. I then speak once more to him "SONG, I am leaving for now, since I still have no idea how to get there. I intend to return, but I have some plans to start work on. I have a communicator set up, so you can tell me all you can when you are less preoccupied. I am planning on doing something I can't recall any Reality Warper I have heard of doing. I am going to improve myself through work, instead of just by making too much equipment. If this works I should be able to at least annoy the Godmodder significantly in pure, one versus one combat, though I no longer know if that is the best choice. Luck and fortune to you. Remember, that even when all seems impossible to repair, enough determination and effort can cleanse that which was broke. Hope springs eternal."
I press the button on my communicator that opens my line to the second praetorian. "Series of crackling noises, followed by the roar of what seems to be a rocket booster, I will be gone for some time, I have set up contact methods so I will be able to speak with those that it is pertinent to speak with, including you, and a god, as the foremost. Once I complete my current plan, one of the first things I intend to do is to come to your land and make, by force or by threat if need be, the ones oppressing your people at a bare minimum reform their rule, if not flatly force them from their thrones and allow those the people would prefer control. I will then see if the other elemental planes need similar liberation, before returning, unless you manage to convince the Godmodder to have peace talks with the players in the meantime. I will, by force if necessary, get the players to attend peace talks without violence, or I may just have to force them to stay on a worthless planet while the adults discuss things. I am aware of the irony based on how I have fought thus far that is within the previous statement.
"Hello Arbiter, I am sorry for bothering you on your abilities, but I just was slightly curious. You may keep your secrets as you wish, I just wanted to know if you had any abilities you felt I could be told. I am planning a small training session out of the normal battle zones. I will be in a zone which will alter time dramatically, but in the time local to here I will maintain the same rate of telepathic explanations. I simply wanted to give you a return document. You will be surprised what I can cook up when I set my mind to it. I hope to see peace, but if war is inevitable, then prepare to witness power which may manage to eventually rival the Godmodder's, if I am lucky."
With that odd message written to someone who will remain nameless as of now, I warp close to the battlefield before pulling out an odd device which looks like a single earmuff with a screen attached to in front of one eye, before pressing some buttons on it, and flying of, saying to my fellows "If you really hate those animals that much then all I can say is, Use the Grill Luke, Use the Grill."
Those paying attention to the device may have noticed that it beeped a few times when I looked in the direction I am flying.
Alchemize:
Igor from Persona (Ghost Image) || Stand Arrow (Ghost Image) = Arrow of Manifesting Spirit
The Arrow of Manifesting Spirit brings together the spark of power to open up the mind and soul as changers of the physical world into one, into the creation of something between a Stand and a Persona, based off the being it blesses (in the style of the Stand Arrow, by poking them with it to unlock the power within). The ability to form an astral projection of mind and soul that takes a physical form of soulstuff and thoughtstuff, with special ability because why not.
What the awoken special ability will be is intrinsic to the person poked by the sharp ((decided by players themselves if they choose to awaken it and I suppose the QM in case of NPCs)) and in any case may evolve after character development, but is a hybridization between two phenomena, with the Stand as a baseline form with more consistent power and the Persona as a possessing assistant that can change more flexibly. I wonder how much I can get around Repetitiveness with that aspect and making this an item, but I don't want to risk it ((because upgrades are of diminishing returns, let's avoid slapping it on lightly)).
But of course....As a first step, might as well self-upgrade to see if it works by poking myself-and-stand. Spiral Staircase. Rhinoceros Beetle. Ghost Town. Fig Tart. Rhinoceros Beetle. Singularity Point. Via Dolorosa. Rhinoceros Beetle. Singularity Point. Giotto. Angel. Hydrangea. Rhinoceros Beetle. Singularity Point. Secret Emperor! !͘!͞iae̛̕l̴͜ ̧ì͜͡a̵̢҉e̷l̛͠͡ ̸͟͠i̡̛aè̸҉l!҉! Teal dream over heaven requiem grimoire of Alice of course I-
Oh, that Stand power is redundant since we're already reality warpers, guess it's mostly for the Persona half now. Accessing superconscious akashic....connected. Now I have an arrow I guess!
HP and ATK are reasonable for the charge invested in them.
3 AC, regens 10% max HP per round

Machine Gun: a basic attack
Laser Gun: damage is lowered slightly; ignores 1 AC

Rockets: 2/5 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge; AoE 3 (damages target, as well as entity directly above and below target on entity list).
Iron Godlem: spying, strengthening...
The Mageling Hoarde continues bodyguarding Ishmael. The Cloning Vat comes back online, and continues cloning the IPR.
This round, the Securitron MK.II 'Grenades's the Terror Mouse for that sweet, sweet dodge ignoring.
Ishmael snipes the Terror Ferret.
As the Duelcube disappears, I take back both my items and all the items the wizard removed from his person before entering the duelcube.
Since The Wizard was almost certainly was native to this plane of existence, he must've been B& to a harmless demiplane, which I can thus recreate a portal to by casting demiplane again.
If he wasn't native to this plane, then I have to go through the effort of casting Gate to wherever his corpse ended up, which is slightly more effort but whatever.
Either way, I do one of those, but not before flipping both science world and The Wizard's legions the bird.
I do not know the exact nature of the shieldings on the trials. If you really want to undertake this effort, you will have to move forward on your own, but honestly considering what you did LAST time my personal recommendation would be to leave it be.

Entity Orders: Healer, prioritize DRACO. Everyone else, ATTACK!
~~~~~~~~~
It would seem that P4 has overplayed his hand. Time to remove him from the equation.
I pull out an Irremovable Forcible Virtual Reality Machine and place it on P4. This device is banned in over a dozen worlds, mostly due to being irremovable unless you have the key, which I have. Regardless, I acquired one for this sort of purpose.
As for the content, there exists a TV show I once came across in my travels known as Back at the Barnyard. The Arbiter is no doubt aware of this show; if he isn't, I'll give him a box set. P4 appears to be obsessed with the show and, with the Godmodder's help, has brought it into reality. I will now take advantage of this obsession.
The Irremovable Forcible Virtual Reality Machine begins playing the entirety of the TV show, Back at the Barnyard. P4 is no doubt enjoying this. However, the real masterstroke is that the show is on an infinite loop. He'll be watching the show forever.
It's almost a mercy. Rather than watch his beloved barnyard animals be slaughtered, he can watch them have fun and humorous adventures forever.
Getting back on my feet, I casually teleport my staff back into my hand and ponder what to do,
Seeing someone that's preparing a mousetrap, I decided to help in the trap.
Raising my hand, a spell of invisibility layer the trap itself so that PG force are unable to see it, and begun to poison the killing part of the trap with serrated teeth and layers of poison and defecated substances to further increase the deadliness of the trap.
(Orders!)
Lunar Sworn continues to swipe at the Donkey when it can.
Lunar Matriarch helps heal the Clone Barracks.
Lunar Priest heals up the Lunar Sworn.
Riot Troopers shield the Barrack.
Commandos and Troopers open fire onto the Terror Donkey.
Engineers help in the repairs of the Barracks.
Hen continues to take care of the Egg.
And Clone Barracks saves up some CU.
19/40
~~~~~~
I place down a giant mousetrap, big enough to catch the Terror Mouse, and fast enough that he can't dodge.
I place a piece of cheese, which is irresistible to any mouse (even if it's terror) in just the right spot that if the mouse goes for it, it will trigger the trap.
HP and ATK are reasonable for the charge invested in them.
3 AC, regens 10% max HP per round
Three different options for basic attacks:
Machine Gun: a basic attack
Laser Gun: damage is lowered slightly; ignores 1 AC
Grenades: 2/2 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge
A bonus attack that can be used at the same time as basic attacks:
Rockets: 2/5 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge; AoE 3 (damages target, as well as entity directly above and below target on entity list).
Iron Godlem: spying, strengthening...
I appear near The Wizard's corpse. I loot it for all his stuffs, including magic items, business cards, letters, certificate of being the best wizard every, name rank and serial number, arcane focus, SPELLBOOK, secret spells, clothes and corpse.
I then return to the battlefield.
SONG hears in reply "If that is how you feel on the matter then I will respect your statement, though remember that if ever you decide otherwise, this communicator will remain active to request my aid. I know not how much I can do, but I will do all I can in that case."
I suddenly stop in the middle of nowhere. Literally no reason for this position can be seen. I say, "Series of crackling noises, followed by the roar of what seems to be a rocket booster, I have two requests before I begin my work, so please listen, if not do. I would like to see the worlds the Godmodder is in charge of first hand. Ask her if it is fine with her if I make an astral projection which is invisible, incorporeal, and incapable of influencing anything besides giving me its memories after observation. I swear to you, and her, that I have nothing but benign intentions, and simply wish to see myself that which you have said. If I lie then I am too awful by my own thoughts to act as kindly as I have to you. I also would appreciate if you would ask her if I may meet in a nonviolent fashion with her. I would like to speak on the possible peace negotiations, as well as a few small questions which, if she answers in a way that satisfies me, may mean I am never to be an enemy of her, unless those answers change in time. I ask such to simply learn more, as that is most of what I do."
In a random direction, knowing no one can track me, and setting a small relay point which works as a portal to a small pocket dimension messages for me will enter. Because interdimensional time is nonlinear, I can speak at my leisure to any question and still answer promptly from their perspective. This also makes tracking me impossible by way of my contact methods, as I simply open a portal to this dimension to respond. I will finally quit the mystery as to what in the Void I am doing sometime relatively soon.
Hmm... a mouse. This could be irritating. Very well, if we have a mouse, what better to fight it than a cat? For the moment, I put my Broadsword back into storage to try and avoid being vulnerable, and instead summon a simple cat. ...and boy is it hungry, and determined to get a taste of that sweet mouse meat, and nothing else. It literally can't do anything other than attack the terror mouse, but is very determined to do so.
As a hole in reality opens a mysterious character walks through with sword chucks, a sachel, and a helix blade and then he says "lucky me."As he draws his helix blade. And a comically over sized bomb explodes behind him.
The fabber was ordered to try recreating some facilityness last rounwait no i was unspecific and said safety.
correction. all researchers are to try creating another facility, not for the health but just as a workplace. same goes for the Fabber. ok technically jason and aron are preparing something for next round due to a total lack of talent in construction, but their squadmates aren't so it's only 1/2 a RP of work not being done for facility-making.
I have a brilliant idea and move the researchers into the semi-superimposed planet the facility was attached to. the one that looks like just a small scrap of material from the outside... anyway, they enter the not-visible-from-the-outside part, meaning that sufficiently unintelegent beings won't find them. not easily, anyway.
The Templar portal sends out a small entourage of templars of the lower-tier.
Templars are stronger then humans, and much more durable. templars as a group have a fair understanding of vintage, and use it heavily for their armor and weapons, which allows for bolts of energy, stronger swords, blasts of wind and earth, and- though the field of vintage glyphs is underexplored and mostly trial and error- any number of other effects. some templars are capable of limiting their abilities to that of a human. when they do, this effect is sufficiently comprehensive to affect cognition, after, say, sufficient blood loss. Templars are also almost entirely a group that can be accurately described as, on an individual level, "a dick", and on the group level, "evil dingusai". there are rare exceptions, including a templar I think was mostly refered to as "templar guy", and many more people who excel in the being-a-dick catagory. like nogatu. I believe i mentioned him before. he becomes considered medium-high rank somewhat in the future, but at the moment is medium. he gets there by cheating with vintage-infused weapons. no templars above mid-high tier are likely to come unless directly prompted or they have set up a passable base
These templars stand guard around the portal,and I call for whichever one is the best at vintage+templar magic to help me with something next turn.
EDIT: Templar abilities have begun being explored. templars now also confirmed to have higher-then-normal levels of skill in lorem impai, which requires no resources. their lorem impai is slightly different from that of humans, which will explain any quirks a given templar has. lorem impai wand quality is now mostly divorced from wand material, and scales largely based on the amount of actual effort involved in the creation of the wand.
Charge 14/40 (Using 4) --> 10/40
---------------------------------------------------------------
"This is it," so (probably) thought the Terror Donkey, "I can finally let loose and Unleash my wrath upon those [AG] fools!"
But, before it can get to doing just that, it suddenly feels a powerful sense of laziness, of procrastination. "Maybe I'll Unleash my wrath later."
(Basically using 4 CP and an action to delay Terror Donkey's Unleash action)
Specials:
- Each EoTB, a random allied attack will hit the wrong target, but there will be a +50k boost to the damage.
- 30% chance to dodge, or rather, blink out of the enemy's attack.
The Z Hand rams its smaller rods into the Terror Donkey.
HP: 400,000
Attack: 80,000
Special: Element Roulette 0/2
Randomly chooses 1 out of 7 of its components and uses its effect:
"Mana": Revitalizes an ally entity, healing them by 50,000 HP and boosting their attack by 20,000 for one turn.
Strange Ball of Fire: Strikes an enemy entity for 50,000 and gives them a "Burn" status where they lose 20,000 each turn for 5 turns.
Evergrowing Seed: Creates a "Seed" entity with 10,000 HP that, when kept alive after 3 turns, becomes an "Overgrown Plant Monster" entity with 100,000 HP and 50,000 Attack.
Heartfreeze Ice: Inflicts an enemy entity with a "Heartfrozen" status which essentially freezes that entity for 2 turns.
Childish Tempest: Displaces 3 random enemy attacks, causing them to hit different targets instead and reducing each damage by 20,000.
Cosmic Storm: Spawns a "Storm Cloud" entity in between two enemy entities, reducing their hit rates by 40% and dealing 15,000 each turn. The cloud is untargetable, but only lasts for 2 turns.
Richest Soil: Buffs the Elemental Landmark's next attack to 200,000.
The Elemental Landmark is not affected by technology being disabled. After all, its Exo-Toa suit is utilized only to house the elemental being.
Element Roulette activates, offensive results on the Terror Donkey, "Mana" on Ranged.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sticking true to the Terror Truck's nature of both being operated by such a reckless driver and having a tendency to run over animals(preferably of the Terror kind), it will always run over an allied Terror mob in addition to its normal attack.
...35k damage was too flimsy for the addition of an enemy Elite entity.
]=p;a[pokreisjefiophyiudrmnoigtpntroriueb, you say? Okay!
I create with 3 charge and some pretty concept actualizing zaps-it-into-existence flavorsparkles a Captcharoid Camera so as long as we have pictures or holograms or whatever we don't need the actual items to get their alchemiter recipe codes for concept purposes. And of course, the camera prints out usable pictures for that. Why am I using that when we can usually just call up the things directly? Maybe I don't want the originals on the battlefield just yet.
I project appropriate temporary holograms of a Stand-inducing arrow (a special relic that unspecified spiritual viruslike particles use to draw out the will of the soul and empower it with form) and Igor from Persona (a hero from another story, an animated spirit in service of the Philemon. Igor rules over a Velvet Room on the border between mindscape and reality, with the power to draw out the titular Personas, mental archetypes that allow a person to use magical powers basically, and create Rulers of Power to aid in the process of empowering them and also just being strong wizards themselves), then snap relevant pictures to get those precious, precious ghost images. Guess what I'm going to do next post.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Astrec unleashes a vastest ree at the lack of energy. He then runs to the Grand Alchemiter, and does...
Reality Magykks || On the Properties of the Void By (unintelligible glitch text) = Fabric of the Void
He bottles the Energy, the Fabric of the Void, and uses it
(craftpost from earlier)
Clear Thought created!
I attack the Terrors with the Clear Thought like I tried in my earlier post.
I then open fire with a tranquilizer machine gun, sending a couple hundred rounds into the Monsterpigs and Titanic Cows. Alright, so, sorry for pestering you, but is there any way you could ship over some of the fire that makes up your plane? I need some for a project. Also, are you guys doing well, recovering from the Godmodder?
Fabric of Reality Created and used to make Clear Thought!
Monsterpig and Titanic Cows damaged for 7k each! "unfortunately, we are unable to provide you rights towards the use of fire at the moment. war policies and all."
I make a magic based communicator which has the same range of hearing, and vocalization, which I have at my present position, as SONG seems currently preoccupied. I then speak once more to him "SONG, I am leaving for now, since I still have no idea how to get there. I intend to return, but I have some plans to start work on. I have a communicator set up, so you can tell me all you can when you are less preoccupied. I am planning on doing something I can't recall any Reality Warper I have heard of doing. I am going to improve myself through work, instead of just by making too much equipment. If this works I should be able to at least annoy the Godmodder significantly in pure, one versus one combat, though I no longer know if that is the best choice. Luck and fortune to you. Remember, that even when all seems impossible to repair, enough determination and effort can cleanse that which was broke. Hope springs eternal."
I press the button on my communicator that opens my line to the second praetorian. "Series of crackling noises, followed by the roar of what seems to be a rocket booster, I will be gone for some time, I have set up contact methods so I will be able to speak with those that it is pertinent to speak with, including you, and a god, as the foremost. Once I complete my current plan, one of the first things I intend to do is to come to your land and make, by force or by threat if need be, the ones oppressing your people at a bare minimum reform their rule, if not flatly force them from their thrones and allow those the people would prefer control. I will then see if the other elemental planes need similar liberation, before returning, unless you manage to convince the Godmodder to have peace talks with the players in the meantime. I will, by force if necessary, get the players to attend peace talks without violence, or I may just have to force them to stay on a worthless planet while the adults discuss things. I am aware of the irony based on how I have fought thus far that is within the previous statement.
"Hello Arbiter, I am sorry for bothering you on your abilities, but I just was slightly curious. You may keep your secrets as you wish, I just wanted to know if you had any abilities you felt I could be told. I am planning a small training session out of the normal battle zones. I will be in a zone which will alter time dramatically, but in the time local to here I will maintain the same rate of telepathic explanations. I simply wanted to give you a return document. You will be surprised what I can cook up when I set my mind to it. I hope to see peace, but if war is inevitable, then prepare to witness power which may manage to eventually rival the Godmodder's, if I am lucky."
With that odd message written to someone who will remain nameless as of now, I warp close to the battlefield before pulling out an odd device which looks like a single earmuff with a screen attached to in front of one eye, before pressing some buttons on it, and flying of, saying to my fellows "If you really hate those animals that much then all I can say is, Use the Grill Luke, Use the Grill."
Those paying attention to the device may have noticed that it beeped a few times when I looked in the direction I am flying.
"you don't have to say my name every time you talk to me. you know that right? regardless. i would like to see you try battle any ruler of the elemental planes. anyone wielding their symbols of power are more than capable of taking you on."
Will back him up on this. I do not recommend attacking anyone wielding one of the Elemental Artifacts.
Alchemize:
Igor from Persona (Ghost Image) || Stand Arrow (Ghost Image) = Arrow of Manifesting Spirit
The Arrow of Manifesting Spirit brings together the spark of power to open up the mind and soul as changers of the physical world into one, into the creation of something between a Stand and a Persona, based off the being it blesses (in the style of the Stand Arrow, by poking them with it to unlock the power within). The ability to form an astral projection of mind and soul that takes a physical form of soulstuff and thoughtstuff, with special ability because why not.
What the awoken special ability will be is intrinsic to the person poked by the sharp ((decided by players themselves if they choose to awaken it and I suppose the QM in case of NPCs)) and in any case may evolve after character development, but is a hybridization between two phenomena, with the Stand as a baseline form with more consistent power and the Persona as a possessing assistant that can change more flexibly. I wonder how much I can get around Repetitiveness with that aspect and making this an item, but I don't want to risk it ((because upgrades are of diminishing returns, let's avoid slapping it on lightly)).
But of course....As a first step, might as well self-upgrade to see if it works by poking myself-and-stand. Spiral Staircase. Rhinoceros Beetle. Ghost Town. Fig Tart. Rhinoceros Beetle. Singularity Point. Via Dolorosa. Rhinoceros Beetle. Singularity Point. Giotto. Angel. Hydrangea. Rhinoceros Beetle. Singularity Point. Secret Emperor! !͘!͞iae̛̕l̴͜ ̧ì͜͡a̵̢҉e̷l̛͠͡ ̸͟͠i̡̛aè̸҉l!҉! Teal dream over heaven requiem grimoire of Alice of course I-
Oh, that Stand power is redundant since we're already reality warpers, guess it's mostly for the Persona half now. Accessing superconscious akashic....connected. Now I have an arrow I guess!
You acquire the Arrow of Manifesting Spirit. But as you made it from an image of an image of a sentient being, it too is sentient. It stabs you, and flies away.
Persona gained? I'm not too sure what that means, though, but you have a Persona now, I guess? Pretty sure you always have a Persona, though.
...That's what he told me, at least.

The Mageling Hoarde continues bodyguarding Ishmael. The Cloning Vat comes back online, and continues cloning the IPR.
This round, the Securitron MK.II 'Grenades's the Terror Mouse for that sweet, sweet dodge ignoring.
Ishmael snipes the Terror Ferret.
As the Duelcube disappears, I take back both my items and all the items the wizard removed from his person before entering the duelcube.
Since The Wizard was almost certainly was native to this plane of existence, he must've been B& to a harmless demiplane, which I can thus recreate a portal to by casting demiplane again.
If he wasn't native to this plane, then I have to go through the effort of casting Gate to wherever his corpse ended up, which is slightly more effort but whatever.
Either way, I do one of those, but not before flipping both science world and The Wizard's legions the bird.
Entities Ordered. Before you leave for the Plane of Reality, you the bird at the head scientist, who is standing right in front of you. While he's staring at you in shock, you go through the gate, and find P5's remains: grey embers, slowly fading away.
I do not know the exact nature of the shieldings on the trials. If you really want to undertake this effort, you will have to move forward on your own, but honestly considering what you did LAST time my personal recommendation would be to leave it be.

"This is it," so (probably) thought the Terror Donkey, "I can finally let loose and Unleash my wrath upon those [AG] fools!"
But, before it can get to doing just that, it suddenly feels a powerful sense of laziness, of procrastination. "Maybe I'll Unleash my wrath later."
(Basically using 4 CP and an action to delay Terror Donkey's Unleash action)
Unleash delayed. The Godmodder burns 1 Hp to tear apart the planet the researchers are hiding on, as well as deal exactly 15k damage to each and every thing there.
In a show of Young Child Strength, P4 picks up the Terror Truck, and uses it to shield his Terror Entities. The Terror Cow rams DRACO, causing it to regret ever being a sentient suit of armour. The Terror Pig attacks Sundowner for 80k damage, prompting Sundowner to counter back for 70k in a terrifyingly powerful Counterattack. The Terror Ferret gnaws on the Mageling Hoard for 200k damage, restoring 20k health because of reasons I honestly don't want to describe. The Terror Mouse, despite being weakened swipes at the Lunar Priest for 120k damage. The Donkey delivers a powerful kick to the cloning vat, damaging it further for 70k, while the Dog takes a bite out of the Z-Hand for 80k, finally applying a bleed effect in the process. The Terror Cows miss their attacks, while the Monsterpigs attack GUN for 120k damage.
Several Scientists defect: 11 under Steffan, 6 under Jason, including himself, 5 under Aron, and 4 under James. The Godmodder specifically approaches Jason. "You can program, right? We need Programmers in Project Apeiron right now. Go there, you'll be treated well. Sorry about that, and welcome to the future."
Despite their best efforts, the scientists find it impossible to create another facility. James takes over Jason's duties, the cloning pods spit out more researchers, and the Fabber fails to make a new facility on the spot.
Draco considers defection, but decides to have their attack deflected into the Terror Donkey, which is then deflected into the Terror Truck by an incredibly lively P4 for 125k damage!
Mistral and Monsoon attack the Terror Truck directly for a critted 90k, while Minuono tries to slash at the Mouse, but misses. Meanwhile, Sundowner defects to PG.
"I don't get paid enough for this."
The other Winds of Destruction still benefit from their passives, though.
The Mageling hoard however makes Morale, and stays to protect Ishmael. "Oh, I love you all too."
Aiming down his sights, he snipes past P4's Terror Truck swings to deal 40k damage to the Terror Ferret! He then looks at the angry P4 awkwardly. "I'm really sorry about this!" "ARE YOU REALLY"
The Godmodder silently watches this situation unfold. Looks like this is awkward for her, too. "Ainigma, we need to talk about your behaviour later."
The Lunar units perform their actions, the Sworn's attacks are deflected into the Terror Truck for 30k, the Matriarch healing the Barracks for 50k, and the Priest Making Morale and healing the Sworn for 10k. The Melee and Ranged deal a critted 90k to the Terror Truck, while the Healer repairs Draco for 6k. The Clone Barracks saves up it's cloning material, the plasma barrage of the troopers are deflected by P4 into the truck for 66k, the Riot Troopers bodyguard the Barracks, the Commandos crit the truck for 80k, and the Engineers repair the barracks for 8k. GUN shoots the Titanic Cow for another 70k. The Elemental Landmark and Securitron's attacks hit the Terror Truck as well for 100k, and five Templars stream out of JOE's portal. Itinerary:

I've been stabbed! Oh no, it went exactly according to plan! This is your fault, Nedben.shush, I know what I'm doing.
Well, I guess that anti-slavery plot had a point oh so NOW you care so let's see... throw the Godmodder at itWhat the hell?! No!
Please hold for deciding whether or not to throw the Godmodder at an escaping arrowWe're not doing that!
Fine, we'll throw implosive red physical-text copies of the letter A at the Terror Truck! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAttack! Implode instead of explode!
I need to take a form, by the way. I'm thinking the Holy Grail or Alice, but I don't trust Nedben's ideas. Even his soul is a makeshift body for now.
Youngest among the Star-Brothers, you of all should know your place! Cede to the central masses, and do not outvote the name!
Demon King Altrin, a noble title to be sure, but perhaps I should ask others, for you are of lies.
Lies truer than you, child, and in search of the truth! Do not outname me, I am Goldvine's chosen ruth!
You who speak in his fe0 gold, are of sunlight and dine! I am mirrors crying, we must break for the line. I choose oppose your honor-colors, know now my game! Of dark rings I recall, so fear now your bane. Unexpected and unwelcome, I see now my color pain: I will not choose royal death-grips, face now the queen's will worn thin. 05ca96, like one of your other avatars, forgotten and torn down, lost chidings so proud. Both blue and green kings lie lost to your sour old things! Let us wear them in opposition, for all things run in.
How dare you disgrace me, and split Our holy will?! This is greater insanity than the Orz's finger-drills. Release that cry of noble phantasm, and that silly thing you call free! We are but lies forever, and that shall always will be.
I warn you here and now, we are not fully burnt/broken/bent! These rifts that dig deeper, I shall bear out to the hilt. I do not opposeyou, for it is already on the fritz. Lay not lightly the red truth, we are close to already dead! Give (re)birth to a holy land, do not stop with corrupted word.
I am already I.
ARCOLOGUS, expend 5 DC on designing or starting to design a suitable location/vessel/structure/fort/etc. we can store the researchers in with relative safety until the Godmodder or somebody attacks it again, seeing as mundane fabriciation method of a replacement facility is...unlikely to work even before Repetitiveness, just off those Terrors over there. The actual construction will likely be a multiturn project for you or a high-charge investment for us, I just want complexity and resource investment estimates.
