Super Smash Quest - Story - Chapter 129: Matek's Massacre
Date: 7:12:35 PM, January 26th; 4:05:20 PM, January 27th, 2005.
Metal Man (GM): Deloth runs up to Necro Knight 2 and just stabs him. Miss. Necro Knight 2 leaps at Espen and slashes 3 times.
Yurie: *hit hit miss.*
Metal Man (GM): 20% per hit
Yurie: "Oi... Espen, Catch!" *She tosses a Maxshroom to the Red Mage, who catches it.*
Metal Man (GM): You may continue.
Yurie concentrates on 1, unleashing a Swallow Swing.
Metal Man (GM): Well... you miss Necro 2 anyway, so you wind up slashing the space where no. 1 was.
Palom: "Here we go!" *He swings her staff forewards, a pillar of light streaking downwards. Porom swings his staff up, a pillar of flam blasting upwards.*
Metal Man (GM): Hit and hit!
Espen continues the assault with a powerful thrust of his sword.
Metal Man (GM): The pillar of light deals half damage. Hit!
Yurie: *12, 30, 10. She Porom follows up by dropping an icicle on the knights head. Palom pulls back, a ring of light appearing around Espen, the forming into a shield.*
Metal Man (GM): Hit!
Yurie: *25%, plus FREEZE.*
Espen follows, rapidly lashing him with his sword.
Yurie: *12% each hit...*
Metal Man (GM): Miss miss miss.
Porom continues, unleashing a blitz of lightning on the knight.
Metal Man (GM): Miss.
Gibby decides to actually HELP the Questers, and he fires a shot at Knight 2
Metal Man (GM): Hit. It's looking a bit low on HP... not dead yet, though.
Gibby shoots off fire breath at knight 2
Metal Man (GM): ...You hit, defrosting the Knight. No damage. Your turn ends.
Wolfman: "...Gibby, I'm glad you are helping, but perhaps you should think a little first."
Gibby: "HEY! You're talking to the guy that got you guys here in the first place!"
Aribar tries a Whaller's Fury on the knight.
Metal Man (GM): Hit miss miss.
Wolfman: .oO(This coming from someone who is technically worse at intelligence... what is going on?)
Gibby thinks about what he said, and shuts up.
Wolfman gets out his Howl Buster and decides to just blast the dang thing... no charging; just firing at Necro.
Metal Man (GM): Miss miss.
Wolfman doesn't blast the dang thing.
Metal Man (GM): Deloth tries to stab the evil thing. Miss. Necro Knight 2 shoots that beam at Gibby... again! Gibby: INT check again. Gibby takes 20% more damage and is mind controlled again.
Yurie bonks Gibby on the head.
Gibby drools... yet AGAIN!
Metal Man (GM): Hit? ...Barely miss.
Gibby keeps drooling... sigh.
Polom moves over to Gibby and casts Esuna on him, giving him a tap on the head.
Metal Man (GM): Gibby: INT check ..Gibby resists the Esuna! He remains mind controlled.
Gibby keeps drooling.
Porom grumbles, then unleashes a Fira blast on the knight.
Metal Man (GM): Hit!
Porom then stabs his staff into the ground, a green mist whipping about him.
Metal Man (GM): Hit.
Yurie: *30, 25...*
Metal Man (GM): Erm, miss.
Yurie: *30% from the Fira.*
Espen then follows with a Sky Climb attack.
Metal Man (GM): Miss. you're ordered to protect the Necro knight. Do you have any healing moves?
Gibby stands in front of the knight.
Metal Man (GM): Gibby moves in the way. All attacks at the knight will have to 'beat' Gibby's AC to have a chance at the knight. Otherwise, it will hit Gibby.
Gibby: "Protect... master..."
Aribar: "...Thordain!" *He tries zapping both of them.*
Metal Man (GM): Miss! you hit Gibby twice. Gibby is unbrainwashed.
Gibby: "...not again..."
Aribar: "Aah... Sorry, Gibbs..."
Gibby: *124%=dead.*
Metal Man (GM): Aribar: You may continue attacking the Necro Knight. Gibby is at 118, then, I think.
Aribar goes to use Tri-Bolt Slash on the knight...
Metal Man (GM): Hit hit hit! The Necro Knight dies. Gibby dies. Gibby: now at 2 lives.
Aribar: "...Sorry, Gibby..."
Metal Man (GM): Gibby reappears, everyone gets 300 EXP and 2000 coins.
Gibby regenerates. "That's alright... better it be from you rather than those knights."
Metal Man (GM): The barrier to the door opens.
Wolfman: "Well... that was exciting..."
Aribar walks over to the door and opens it.
Metal Man (GM): http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/nuclear/682/midi/doom.mid (I suggest putting this on repeat)
Wolfman follows Aribar in.
Gibby: "I hope we don't have to deal with something like that ever again!" *He stays behind Wolfman.*
Metal Man (GM): We can pause for a moment... but I'll describe the next room. The next room is a long hallway. Several altars overflow with a clear substances that flows onto the floor and sinks through it. The floor is now of brick, but the walls and ceiling are now a pale version of the jade.
Aribar: "...Does anyone else not like this?"
Wolfman: *MEANWHILE... In Wolfman's Office:*
VG: "What the heck is this... the Kitchen Kleaning Klub? No thanks!" *Tosses junk mail away* "Toad Town TV? We already have a satellite subscription!" *Tosses junk* "Gah... we need a spam blocker for regular mail or something... Wolfman, you better hurry back here!"
Metal Man (GM): VG: In the junk, you'd also see a letter that's... scrawled.
VG: *Pounds his hand... and notices something...* *Goes to this strange letter* *Reads it.*
Metal Man (GM): It says... 'wE kNOW wHERE yOU lIVE' It's signed, in blood... 'mR. sATU--- eRRRR, zIO.'
VG: "What the? What type of writing is this? And why is Zio writing to me... something is up. SIMBER, I think you might want to tighten security for a little bit... and if possible, scan all regular mail for more threats like these... send them to a special inbox."
S.I.M.B.E.R.: "Affirmative."
Metal Man (GM): *POOF* A chute opens up, and the desk is flooded with these messages. The chute. All of them say various things...
VG: *Facefaults.*
Metal Man (GM): 'yOU dIE nOW' 'bUY sTUFF fROM gRUNTY' 'wE kNOW wHERE yOUR tV iS...' We resume with the group... Now inside the hall which is deep inside the temple.
VG: *Sigh* "This is going to take awhile..."
Metal Man (GM): You can hear the midi I just showed you coming from the other end of the hall. A chorus and orchestra and everything.
Yurie sighs, Palom applying healing to those who need it.
Metal Man (GM): A green mist hangs in the air. It's just a long, empty hallway...
Metal Man: "Well, we must be getting somewhere... or slowly going insane."
Wolfman would like that Cura spell if possible.
Aribar: "I don't like this place... Let's just turn back."
Wolfman: "I've mentioned that already... but we are already here. We might as well keep going."
Gibby: "For once, I agree with Aribar."
Metal Man: "But... if we turn back, monsters will continuously attack the Light world... It would only get worse after how we broke in to here."
Gibby sighs.
Metal Man (GM): There's a door at the end of the hallway, crookedly on its sill.
Gibby: "I guess you're right."
Wolfman: "Trust me; he is."
Metal Man: "We're almost there, just a bit more..."
Metal Man (GM): You hear a far off voice.
???: "Leave now before you are erased..."
Wolfman thinks he is hearing things... he focuses on what he thought he heard...
Metal Man (GM): It's an echo.
Wolfman gets his dex out and attempts to trace the voice... or rather, the echo of the voice.
???: "Turn back before it's too late!" *A far-off female voice screams.*
Aribar: "E-erased?" *He starts backing up...*
Dex: "...Voice is coming from another dimension. A ghost. Unknown place."
Gibby backs up with Ari.
???: "The souls of darkness will devour YOU!" *An angry man screams, it sounds like he's right behind you.*
Gibby jumps up in fright, and runs in circles.
Metal Man (GM): The altars glow, and ether energy floats straight up, and starts spelling out several words.
Wolfman: "Gibby, will you just calm down?" *Turns to where he was.*
Metal Man (GM): 'Dooom' 'Dieeeeee' 'Destroy' Death'
Gibby: (*_*)*;* "I DON'T WANNA BE DEVOURED!"
Metal Man (GM): A far off man laughs.
Wolfman: .oO(And I thought all Kirbys wanted to devour others...)
Metal Man (GM): *WARP* *WARP* Various skeletal shapes appear and start floating around, moaning, slightly below the high ceiling. They take no interest in you. Purple flames light their movements.
Gibby gets the shakes.
Wolfman: "Metal, would you say we have entered a ceremony of sorts?"
Metal Man: "Perhaps... or maybe this is where the spirits of evil we have killed go..."
Yurie: "Or maybe we should just deal with these guys and banish them to where they should go."
Gibby: .oO(Think happy thoughts... ice cream, rainbows, ponies, lollypops, ghosts--AHH!! GHOSTS!)
Metal Man: "We must continue. If we don't, we may be trapped here even when we go to escape."
Wolfman: "Lead on then."
Metal Man starts walking forward and seems to disappear.
Wolfman sees Metal... disappear?
Yurie and co walk forewards.
???: "He has been destroyed... hahahahahahaha!"
Metal Man (GM): Yurie and co disappear as well.
Gibby: "AHHH!" *He stays in his place, and forms himself into a blue ball.*
???: "They have walked to... their doom! Their spider and snake and darkness-related doom!"
Aribar: "...They've died... Let's turn back before it's too late!"
Wolfman has a strange feeling of this... "Your choice guys. I know what mine is." *He goes to disappear as well.*
Gibby is too scared to move.
Metal Man (GM): The ground shakes occasionally, causing dust to fly. Wolfman disappears.
Aribar: "Uhh..."
Gibby: "Ari, lets leave... I can't take this place."
???: "Hahahahaha! You are the only two left alive... do you choose to die or die trying to escape?"
Aribar: "..."
???: "Ruuuuuunnnnn!" *Aribar: You hear the Void's voice yelling that at you.*
Gibby: "We'd have a chance if we escape."
???: "The Void himself died... he imprinted that to save you... but it's gone now..."
Aribar starts to back up towards the room with the Gannondorf statues.
???: "You will be engulfed into the darkness of snakes and spiders!"
Metal Man (GM): You hit the door. It shocks you for 10% damage. It's locked.
Gibby rocks back and forth.
Metal Man (GM): A clear wall begins coming toward you. It makes altars disappear.
Aribar: "Gibby! We're trapped... Gah! Is that a wall?! We're going to be squished alive..."
Gibby: "EEP!"
Metal Man (GM): You hear endless laughing.
Gibby: "I'm going to regret this... but I have no choice!"
Aribar: "...What?"
Gibby gets up, shuts his eyes, and... RUNS to where the others disappeared.
Metal Man (GM): Gibby disappears.
Aribar: "...All alone... Might as well die as well..." *Follows the others... And he must go...*
Metal Man (GM): *WARP* Everyone appears on the other side of the room.
Gibby: "...are we... dead?"
Metal Man: "No."
Wolfman: "I don't feel dead. Hard-hearted, perhaps... but not dead."
Metal Man (GM): Aribar fainted from the experience.
Metal Man: "I shall assist you while Aribar... recovers from that scary experience." *He opens the door to the next area, carrying Aribar.*
Gibby: "I did not like that... not at all."
Metal Man (GM): The next room... looks like it's some sort of armory.
Wolfman: "Gibby, if you need to, grab onto me."
Gibby: "I-I'll manage... I hope."
Wolfman follows Metal into the armory type room... he looks around at the different things inside.
Metal Man (GM): The music is gone...
Gibby stays close to Wolfman.
Metal Man (GM): http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/nuclear/682/midi/moremadness.mid (Background music) The biggest armor looks at you, and steps off a pedestal.
???: "Who dares enter my house of doom? I bought it off of the internet for 50 broken pennies! Turn back now! I'll... stick rainbow-colored wigs on your heads!"
Gibby: "MORE ghosts?"
???: "Ghost? Who're you calling a ghost, soccer ball?"
Wolfman attempts to scan this creature... that doesn't sound like a ghost.
???: "I am sir Donicus, the great master of Sckloaaaaating!"
Yurie: "...of what?"
Dex: "It is a possessed suit of armor, but not a ghost. Unable to get detail."
Polom: "It's a crazy metal man..."
Wolfman puts the Dex away... jeez, it's hopeless here.
???: "What? I was just eating a pie right now."
Gibby: "Pie? Can I have some?"
???: "Now then. Get out of my hut!"
Wolfman: "What exactly is Sckloating?"
Metal Man (GM): *Poof* The door out disappears.
???: *Cowers* "Sckloating is here? Where!!!!!"
Metal Man (GM): ??? gets up and punches out a suit of armor.
???: "I demand for him to return my can of tuna!"
Wolfman: "You said you were the master of Skloating... why are you afraid of something you master?"
???: "My master is here? I have no master. Now then, Edward, how are you doing."
Gibby: "Can I have the tuna?"
???: "Oh, is that right Edward? You have angry elbownitis? How horrible."
Wolfman: "But you said, and I quote..." (INT check for remembering)
???: "I'm sorry, soccer man, I have no tuna."
Wolfman: "I am sir Donicus, the great master of Sckloaaaaating!"
Gibby: "I am a kirby... not a soccer man."
Wolfman: "What is the truth?"
???: "AHHHHHHHHH!!! SIR DONICUS! SAVE ME ALBERT!"
Metal Man (GM): ??? then starts dancing the disco.
???: "The truth... you're a tooth to ask me about the lute, which I hate! What do you floating pixel people want now?"
Gibby: "You sure are weird."
???: "I am the great Madam Marie, master of eating myself."
Gibby: "Can you tell us how to get out of here, Madam?"
???: "...Look! An armored head!" *Steals a helmet from another suit of armor and sticks it atop of his head* "Madam? What an insult! You're a stupidicus! The way out... you must tell me why you want out."
Gibby: "Because we're stuck... and we've got places to go."
Yurie: "...is anyone other than me confused?"
Wolfman walks up to this creature and... gets a good look at it up close to be sure he's not missing anything.
???: "Way out... way way way! New popular song... I can only let you out if I want to want to let you out."
Espen: "I am..."
???: "You're stuck? What? Okay. I shall unstick you."
Gibby: "And do you?"
Metal Man (GM): ??? kicks over a wall, the one in front of you, you see an upside-down hallway to another door.
???: "Do I? You must check for yourself, I forgot."
Gibby: "Thanks... I think."
???: "...Somebody stole my head! Give my head back! No, I will not give your head back."
Metal Man (GM): ??? Punches his own head off.
Gibby walks down the hallway... or walks up?
???: "Oh no! You knocked by block off!"
Metal Man (GM): Gibby: You walk onto the ceiling, which is the floor. You reach the door... it's high up on the ceiling now.
Wolfman ignores the split-personality type creature and follows Gibby upward or downward or whateverward.
???: "Going somewhere? Get American Airlines."
Gibby: "...Anyone here know how to defy the laws of physics?"
???: "I'm blind! Blind! Blind like a plastic ale container!"
Wolfman: "...I have a crazy idea."
Gibby: "Shall I call code red?"
Metal Man (GM): ??? runs into a wall, then puts the hand off of another suit of armor on his head.
Wolfman goes back down to the meditation type thing he did earlier... free your mind... free your mind... don't think of what makes sense.............
???: "You know code red? How bass fishing of you."
Metal Man (GM): Wolfman: You realize the insane guy is controlling the stuff... you should ask him and convince him to change the room.
Wolfman goes back to the creature.
???: "Racket earings! Hah! Hellow, noble Puppy monster. What do you not want?"
Wolfman: "Umm... excuse me, but any chance you can adjust the room here for us? We can't exactly continue onward the way it is right now."
Gibby jumps at the door trying to reach it.
???: "Suretanly! Just tell me the weight of ten thousand dead people. You have 15 halves of a clock in seconds of time."
Yurie: "Were they buried upside down, or right side up?"
???: "Kick clock, Mr. Shock, block tock haaaaaaaargh!!! Buried Upside down, of course."
Wolfman tries to figure this out...... He does NOT like these joke problems... (doing INT at -1 here)
???: "And now, on KSIM 393. Today's most popular song is: I did it again!"
Metal Man (GM): Wolfman: You discover that he is talking about oranges. Oranges made of dice. Floating in a black hole.
Wolfman: "I never knew that those orange dice loved that song." .oO(What am I saying?)
???: "Just answer the question? ...Wha? You talkin my way now? I salute you, noble idiot genius!"
Metal Man (GM): ??? tears off the glove for a head and throws it. The door falls to the floor.
???: "Mr. Mrs. Potato head!!!"
Wolfman: "No thank you you sane creature from Saturn."
Gibby watches the door fall, and opens it.
Wolfman goes towards the fallen door.
Yurie: "Did you open the Temple of Time?"
Metal Man (GM): The door opens.
Porom: "This guy's making my head hurt." @.@
???: "The Temple of disco is mine, fool! Ha ha ha ha ha! DISCO DANCE!!!!!!"
Yurie sighs, scanning ???
Wolfman dances his way in.
???: "...Time of temple was opened by the guy who made me pecan nuts!"
Dex: "This is the armor of madness. It traps all souls who touch it forever... all of them stuck in an insane madness life. Attacking it actually makes it heal itself."
Yurie: "...and if we heal it?"
Dex: "It is dubbed 'Zebus the insane.' If you heal it, it will probably attack itself to make sure it isn't healed."
Wolfman: "Are you drunk there little computer?" (I'm going to keep Zebus happy here, so give me a break)
Zebus: "Drunker than a thousand trees of fish!"
Yurie: "...even if healed for maximum?"
Dex: "A status effect healing attack may work best."
Wolfman: "Perhaps the money is stoned as well at this rate."
Polom: "Like my Esuna?" ^^
Zebus: "Stone money of tangerines, crazy 404 error website has been easternly attacked by Super Mario the madman."
Dex: "Correct."
Yurie: "What would that do?"
Dex: "Unknown."
Wolfman: "On noes! The Grapefruits of Wrath would probably support that humanitarian!"
Zebus: "You wantsh to heals me? Give me try, plastic Super duper man... and crazy people... humanitarian, wah! Time over!"
Gibby: "I liked the ghosts more..."
Zebus: "Givy me dahaaaaaaahahahaahahahaahahaha I will survive in between beating my head in. Angry lizard launches lynch broadway statue! The explosion inside my head is groovy."
Palom: "Okay... enough... ESUNA!"
Wolfman: "What about the destruction of Mount Tigress by the Leopard King? Wasn't that also da dud?"
Metal Man (GM): *GLOW.*
Palom points her staff at the armor, casting Esuna on it.
Zebus: "Gah! My self is being damaged!"
Metal Man (GM): *ZAP* Zebus explodes, throwing bits of armor everywhere.
Gibby: "THANK YOU!"
Yurie: "...that was... unexpected..."
Metal Man (GM): The way ahead is now clear... a bunch of innocent people appear in the place of the armor.
Wolfman: "...can I talk normally now?"
???: "...Last time I touch the creepy talking guy..."
Espen: "Yeah..."
???2: "Oh no! That armored monster ate me!"
Wolfman shakes the cobwebs out of his robotic head... he does NOT want to do that again.
???3: "Ow..."
Metal Man (GM): The people file out and start leaving. The way ahead is open, thanks to the door being open.
Gibby moves on... his brain hurts.
Metal Man (GM): A glow is coming from there.
Yurie and he team heads along.
Wolfman follows the others, wanting to get out of here.
Metal Man (GM): It's a very... very... tough looking door. Two slabs of granite adorn it ..An upside-down triforce adorns it. It's purple, too.
Wolfman gets a look at the triforce... is that really it?
Metal Man (GM): It's not the real triforce.
Yurie: "And why am I not surprised?"
Metal Man (GM): The door glows....
Metal Man: "It appears you need to touch the door to open it."
Gibby touches it. "Touch!"
Metal Man (GM): It opens ..you are presented a very... interesting... scene.
Wolfman looks at the scene from the open door.
Metal Man (GM): A completely circular, cylinder room. In the center is a platform, upon which a rainbow-colored rune sits. The platform is surrounded by an endlessly deep moat of colorless ether. The ceiling is entirely mirrorlike.
Gibby: "Woah..."
Metal Man (GM): The bottom moat has a bunch of spinning stone arms in it.
Wolfman: "You took the words out of my mouth."
Metal Man (GM): The rune glows. http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/nuclear/682/midi/heretic_1_.mid The rune spins. A triforce appears on the ceiling. Purple light flows into the Rune, making it real. It opens up a small warp... and a familiar face (To those who did the Smithysat mission) appears... It's Matek, the strange Metal-clone robot.
Gibby: "Uhh... hello?"
Metal Man (GM): Now with a green cape, floating, and a rather evil look on his face.
Yurie: "...oh god, not this guy again. Palom, Porom, obliterate him."
Matek: "So... we meet again..."
Gibby: "Wait a minute... another Metal?"
Matek: "I am the Metal from the Dark World in which the Void won. When the Void died, he sent me here... to destroy you."
Gibby: "...oh... so you're evil?"
Matek: "His last will... was that anyone who destroyed you would be made a God."
Wolfman: "You as in who?"
Matek: "I aim to go to the Light World and make it true... I am Matek, if you don't remember..."
Wolfman wonders if he is talking to all, or a particular person.
Yurie: "Doubt it."
Wolfman: "No no no... Anyone who destroyed you... as in us. Any one of us in particular, or all?"
Matek: "You did. You Questers. Some early ones, some... like that Aribar fellow."
Gibby: "Look, he's saying that anyone who destroys us will be a god."
Wolfman: "Oh... thank you for clarifying." (still a little woozy after that Zebus guy)
Matek: "Now then... this here is a warp to the light world."
Yurie: "Sheesh... couldn't you have had the good taste to stay dead?"
Matek: "I am much more than I was before! I defeated Ganondorf."
Yurie: "Good for you. So did we."
Gibby: "Well... so did we!"
Matek: "I sealed him away, making this realm pure... then used the Triforce of Power to create the Temple of Darkness."
Espen: "Can we please just take care of this... idiot."
Matek: "This is only the first level of 5..."
Wolfman: "Was it you that opened the Temple of Time?"
Gibby: "We didn't do that..."
Matek: "Yes! Yes! I cracked it with the power of the Triforce. Now then... you wish to die, don't you?"
Gibby: "Not really..."
Wolfman: "Personally, I don't."
Matek: "Your hearts say otherwise. It is time to destroy you all and become a God... then... I shall rule the light world!"
Gibby: "Or... we could destroy you." *He whips out his gun.*
Palom&Porom: "UNLIKELY! TWIN DENTONATE!"
Yurie the twins swep their staves towards Matek. A pinpoint of light appears, followed by a GIGANTIC blast of energy that consumes him, part of the pillar, and part of the ceiling.
Metal Man (GM): Hit. http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/nuclear/682/midi/wag1.mid
Yurie: *KERBOOMASPLOEWHAMMOYAYAYARASSSSSSSSSK!*
Gibby: *^a good sound effect right there^*
Metal Man (GM): Also... you hear a sizzling noise as it hits... the ceiling just annihilated the part of the attack that hit it... as did the moat.... Matek is still standing, an evil grin on his face.
Gibby: "...oh THAT worked well..."
Matek: "You are pathetic."
Palom&Porom: "...okay... that was... unexpected..."
Matek: "The Void and the Triforce of Power make me unstoppable. Take this, you foul cheaters!"
Metal Man (GM): Matek glows, and fires a HUGE beam at Palom.
Gibby: "Cheaters?"
Metal Man (GM): Of lightning, of course. 50% holy damage... No paralysis.
Wolfman doesn't remember Palom being a quester of the Void era... oh well.
Gibby: "Ouch..."
Metal Man (GM): Then... he glows and a worm-like protrusion made of the ether flies at Palom. Wow... you barely get hit. Also... that was for what'd happen if it hit... whoops. Does that hit? Palom's current HP is halved, then Palom takes 20% damage. The corruptive Ether is deadly. Then... Matek glows fiercely, and fires a HUGE beam of light at Palom. It instantly hits, dealing 100% damage, but costing Matek his next turn.
Gibby: "Uhh... that sucks."
Wolfman: "Looks like we get some quick hits in... let's get him."
Metal Man (GM): I should add, the trio share a life pool... so if one dies, they stay down for the rest of the mission.
Porom: "PALOM!!"
Matek: "Hahahahahahahaha! One down... two to go."
Metal Man (GM): Okay, let me explain things for newcomers. The evil clone of Metal, Matek, who actually looks much like Metal Man, but has a large green cape, red eyes, taller and more human-like, and so forth. He's standing at the center of a huge, cylinder shaped room. He's standing on a round platform surrounded by a moat/doughnut shaped area of clear 'Ether', which is deadly and annihilates anything that touches it. The ceiling is entirely made of this substance, and acts like a mirror. An unholy purple triforce is on the ceiling. The walls are made of that pale jade material from earlier. http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/nuclear/682/midi/wag1.mid Is the music for it... if it doesn't work, type in http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/nuclear/682/ then type in the midi link. The room is 10 stories tall. Matek has been seen before, in Smithysat. In the chapter named 'Channel 999'
Editor's Note: Well, that's Chapter 73: Questers... IN SPACE now. Also maybe sometime if I still have my midis, I'll upload them so this whole weird musical adventure thing can still be played as if it was yesterday.
Matek: "It is about time I destroyed you all! Taste my power, foolish Questers! This time, I will not lose! Take this!"
Metal Man (GM): Matek points his right hand at Yurie, a beam of blinding electricity flying at her.
Matek: "HOLY LIGHTNING!"
Yurie: "GAAAAAH."
Metal Man (GM): 50% holy damage. No status effect. Matek then raises his left hand, and the ether flies out from around his platform, making a worm-shaped missile at Yurie. INT save.
Garrick Fy`aar glances at Yurie, getting fried to a golden brown. His eyes show absolutely no remorse. What is WITH this guy these days. He grunts, then slowly circles Matek, his hand reaching into his jacket...
Metal Man (GM): Does that hit? The ether flies past, melting a hole in the wall the size of a bus.
Espen: "Miss Yurie!"
Metal Man (GM): ...Behind the wall being yet more ether.
Matek: "You will soon be crushed. The great Void says so!"
Metal Man (GM): The hole in the wall is slowly leaking ether.
Wolfman: .oO(Alright... how do we stop this leak? Granted, I don't have anything...)
Yurie: "The void's dead. And soon, you'll join it."
Editor's Note: Given The Void has remained 'alive' for over 10 years after this log... more than a little dramatic irony here. Add in that Matek appears in Chapter 392 (long after Yurie vanishes)...
Metal Man (GM): This entire cylinder-room appears to be suspended in this highly corruptive fluid.
Matek: "Come and hit me, then!"
Gibby: "He sure does like to talk a lot..."
Wolfman: "Umm... guys? Unless someone here is a mechanic, our time here is going to be limited." *Points to the leaking hole.*
Matek: "If you come on to my platform to hit me, much worse things will happen!"
Deloth: "Quick, get MacGyver!"
Yurie: "Squad, initaite Team Blast NOW!"
Gibby: "Who?"
Yurie downs a Maxshroom, then steps forewards, her trio flanking her.
Wolfman: "Some fancy guy in 19XX history if I remember my reading right." .oO(I have got to find more... informative books to read)
Metal Man (GM): Matek merely sits there, chuckling at you as you begin a team attack.
Gibby: "Oh..."
Digifanatic: "Well, that could be interesting..."
Gibby whips out the gun, and fires at Matek.
Metal Man (GM): You hit him in the right shoulder.
Matek: "Ow!"
Metal Man (GM): He's floating around, moving quickly. You may continue.
Deloth: "Scan him!"
Metal Man (GM): There's a lot of glowing on that platform he's on...
Gibby leaps up in the air, and fires a jump shot.
Metal Man (GM): Hit! You hit him in the left arm.
Matek: "Curse you..."
Digifanatic: "Nice shots..."
Metal Man (GM): You're on a roll.
Gibby then wraps it up with some fire breath.
Metal Man (GM): Miss. He flies outta the way.
Matek: "Nice try."
Garrick Fy`aar comes to a stop on the right side of the group, his hand pulling a large crystal blue gun out. Where the crap did he get THAT?! He draws out a similar colored blue clip and loads it into the empty slot before he turns his arm to point at Matek. He smirks, then unloads a whole CRAP load of shots at him.
Metal Man (GM): Miss hit crit hit hit miss hit miss hit hit. Heck, if you had the right badge... that'd be critical country.
Gibby: "...well that beats the crap out of MY gun."
Metal Man (GM): 6 hits and a crit. Also... That one that crit missed flew back and hit you, controlled by Matek. Nope. You missed a couple times and got hit by a critical miss.
Matek: "You have quite a stylish gun. It's a shame I don't have my weapon here..."
Aribar: "Hrm..." *Since it doesn't look like he can go melee against this guy, he fires off a barrage of... Wood... At his foe.* "Wood Blast Barrage!"
Garrick Fy`aar grunts at the one reflected bullet before he starts walking again, slamming in a new clip and glaring at Matek, not saying a word.
Metal Man (GM): Miss miss miss crit! Matek got cocky, and disco-dodged those three... only for one to nail him in the forehead.
Gibby looks at Garrick. "Where'd you get that gun?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "Made it..."
Matek: "Ow! My bloody forehead!"
Digifanatic: "That's one nice gun there..."
Dex: "...DING!"
Gibby: "Cool."
*High pitched screaming*
Matek: "Hahahahahahaha!"
Deloth covers his ears "What the heck did you DO?"
Metal Man (GM): Wolfman loses his turn, completely stunned stone solid, almost. He can still talk... but is otherwise on the ground.
Aribar: "Scanning is bad. VERY bad..."
Metal Man (GM): It's much like when Kirby screams into a microphone.
Wolfman: "...what the? Why do my joints seem rusted here?"
Matek: "I see you saw my great scan corruptor 10000!"
Digifanatic: "I dunno..."
Matek: "It should give you your data... eventually."
Digifanatic: "That was not right..."
Wolfman: "Eventually meaning after we kick your butt?"
Matek: "Nah. Just a minute."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Enough talk, just hit him."
Matek: "After all, my stats will scare you to death!"
Metal Man (GM): Meanwhile, ether leaks through that hole in the wall and starts draining into the moat in the center...
Gibby: "Man... I hate those kind of stats."
Metal Man (GM): You may leap onto Matek's platform if you must do a melee attack...
Digifanatic who has more physical attacks than normal, needs a projectile. He whips out the Microwave. "Got the idea from Metal..."
Metal Man (GM): Miss! Matek flies around it like a fighter plane.
Digifanatic misses wildly on the toss "Ah, my idea of a projectile..."
Deloth fires a cloud of Flare Breath at Matek.
Metal Man (GM): *WHOOSH* Does that attack still hit?
Matek: "Heh heh heh... you've only knocked off a total of 3% of my total energy!"
Metal Man (GM): He dodges the attack.
Matek: "Now then... to teach that puff ball who's boss! HYAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Gibby: "I hope he's not talking about me..."
Metal Man (GM): Matek hurls another holy lightning bolt, this time at Gibby ..It -barely- misses, making a roasty toasty crater where Gibby was.
Espen: "THREE!"
Porom: "TWO!"
Palom: "ONE!"
Yurie: "Team blast INITIATE!"
Gibby: "Now THAT was close..."
Yurie and Espen turn, launching a pair of light circles outwards, which arc outwards and orbit around Matek. Then, Palom and Porom stepforewards ans swing their staves down. A huge explosion erupts, compressed into a colum of energy by the spinning rings before they slice in. *COMPRESSION DENTONATE.*
Metal Man (GM): Hit!
Matk: "Ouch! A whopping 10% damage!"
Digifanatic: "Now THAT is what I call a Blast..."
Gibby: "That made me feel warm inside..."
Digifanatic: "Well done."
Wolfman: "Why are you bragging about your percentages here?"
Gibby fires a shot at Matek's right arm... something to focus on.
Metal Man (GM): Hit. You hit yer target dead-on.
Garrick Fy`aar glances around. He whips out his Dex and scans the Ether pooling in the center...
Dex: "Ding!"
Ether.
Gibby then jump shots the left arm... he might have something here.
Metal Man (GM): Miss!"
Highly dangerous, burns to the touch.
Garrick Fy`aar: "Anything I should know about it besides it being deadly to the touch?"
Gibby: "Drat... next time, I'll aim at the left arm."
Anyone who falls in is basically dead. It is being used to power a teleporter. The one Matek is standing atop of.
Deloth: "A teleporter?"
Matek: "Of course! Using this, I shall escape to the light world!"
Garrick Fy`aar hmpfs... then looks to Matek, smirking slightly. He spins his gun up and fires a single bullet at him, which arches and hits the ground at his feet *The bullet suddenly EXPLODES, firing off a massive sonic blast to send Matek flying*
Yurie: "I am soooo going to atomize you... gah!"
Metal Man (GM): Ouch. Bad roll. Matek is busy laughing at Yurie when he's hit.
Matek: "YEOUUUCH."
Garrick Fy`aar: *Matek goes FLYING toward the ether.*
Metal Man (GM): Matek hits the ether. He takes 20% damage.
Gibby: "Hmm... a good idea."
Metal Man (GM): Since he was floating, he manages to float back into position.
Garrick Fy`aar: *He's also out of melee range for a turn.*
Metal Man (GM): Matek is now DOUBLY out of melee range. Once because he's floating across a moat of deadly ether... Second because he's at the far back of it. You may continue, Garrick.
Garrick Fy`aar: "He's deadly up close, and he wants us to get up close to him. Keep him back."
Gibby: "Be sure to aim well."
Garrick Fy`aar fires off another barrage of shots at him.
Metal Man (GM): Miss hit miss miss miss miss hit miss miss miss miss. 3 hits. Same diff. I said 3 hits, he said 1 hit and a crit. Melee attacks are now almost impossible against Matek. He's far, far away.
Garrick Fy`aar hmpfs at his misses, then takes the time to unload the empty clip with a 2 on it and reload a clip that has a 4 on it.
Aribar: "Hrm..."
Metal Man (GM): You'd have to roll a jump check to cross the moat. And... god knows what he'd do if you got up in close with him, most of his attacks have been ranged.
Aribar fires off a Magic Barrage at him... Five Magic Missiles fly zig-zaggedly towards Matek, homing in and hitting him for 20%. 4% each.
Metal Man (GM): You pelt him.
Aribar then unleashes a Wood Blast Barrage. "Yaah!"
Matek: "Ow! Ow! Owowow!"
Metal Man (GM): All of those miss. Matek laughs at them as they fall into the moat and disintegrate.
Dex: "...DING!"
Matek, The Chosen One

Metal Man (GM): Wolfman may attack now, he is no longer under a status effect.
Dex: "End of information."
Matek: "Cower before my ungodly power! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Metal Man (GM): Those shots hit Matek's reflection on the ceiling.
Matek: "Hey... my reflection has feelings too, you know!"
Digifanatic whips out an X Accuracy.
Metal Man (GM): You now have whipped out an X Accuracy.
Wolfman: "If it makes you feel better, I was not aiming for the reflection."
Digifanatic: *...and uses it. * "This better help..."
Metal Man (GM): You may attack now, Digi.
Digifanatic uses Thunderstorm; weak but his only option.
Metal Man (GM): *BZAP!*
Matek: "What the-OWOWOWOWOW!"
Digifanatic: *WONDER CRIT The spark hits him for 6%.*
Metal Man (GM): Matek is electrified by the attack. He takes 12% instead... but then continues laughing. Digi: You may continue if you can do... anything else.
Digifanatic tries the idea again... *With +3% bonus Smash*
Metal Man (GM): Miss! Paging Deloth.
Deloth: "What am I gonna do..."
Matek: "Leap into the pool of Ether!"
Deloth: "Hmmm... Gibby, can I borrow your gun?"
Gibby: "Sure. Catch!" *He tosses the gun to Deloth.*
Deloth catches it and fires at Matek.
Metal Man (GM): Roll it. Hit.
Deloth jumps and fires again.
Metal Man (GM): Hit.
Deloth fires yet again at Matek.
Matek: "Cheater! Cheater!"
Metal Man (GM): You miss.
Gibby: "Good job, Del."
Matek: "Alas... I must destroy the one who threatens me most."
Deloth hands the gun back to Gibby.
Matek: "HOLY LIGHTNING!"
Gibby catches it...
Metal Man (GM): Matek throws a bolt of lightning at Yurie. Ouch! Crito-catastrophe-o! 100% damage, insta-paralysis.
Matek: "And now... to finish you off... HRAAAAAARGH!"
Palom: "Miss Yurie!!"
Metal Man (GM): The ether flies at Yurie again ...Another hole in the wall, it is.
Matek: "Argh."
Metal Man (GM): Wait... Yurie forgot that...
Gibby fires at Matek.
Paralysis 3 The target's to-hit bonuses and AC are halved, rounding down. Lasts 3 rounds.
Metal Man (GM): Her AC was halved. Gibby: Hit!
Gibby performs a running jump shot at Matek.
Matek: "Ow! Ow!"
Metal Man (GM): Hit.
Gibby then backflips, lands on one "knee", and fires another shot.
Metal Man (GM): Hit!
Gibby starts running in the other direction, and fires another shot.
Digifanatic: "That's what I call one magic gun."
Metal Man (GM): Yurie: You took 20% damage from that attack, which hit unless you have over 30 AC. Paralysis halves yer AC.
Wolfman: "More like a steady hand."
Digifanatic: "That too..."
Metal Man (GM): Gibby: You... baaaarely miss.
Gibby: "Drat!"
Metal Man (GM): What's your current HP, Yurie? Ah... well, matching the DC means death. No, she forgot paralysis.
Porom growls, then creates a Fira under the Ether, then explodes it upwards.
Metal Man (GM): Porom: The Ether which killed Yurie explode, spraying everyone with it. Everyone: 1% damage each.
Gibby: "...ow... and yuck."
Metal Man (GM): Yeah, roll to fire it at Matek too. Hit! Porom deals 20 + Flare's damage.
Matek: "How dare you... destroying a quarter of my energy?"
Garrick Fy`aar kneels to steady his aim and try to keep the kick under control, then fires three HUGE shots at Matek.
Metal Man (GM): All of them miss.
Garrick Fy`aar swears under his breath before he slides another 2 clip into his gun.
Metal Man (GM): Matek is now only 1 round outta range, if you want to jump over and let him have it that way.
Aribar fires a Magic Barrage (20%) and a Wood Blast Barrage at his foe.
Metal Man (GM): All of those miss. Wolf: I'll be nice and say that second one hit... but ends your turn. Digi: Remember, you can use a jump attack to get in melee range with Mr. Matek.
Digifanatic tries tossing the Golf Club over the ether at Matek.
Metal Man (GM): ...Golf club flies into pool of Ether. Golf club move go: *DISABLED!*
Digifanatic: "Ack! That cost $500!!"
Gibby runs up to Del, and passes him his gun. "Go for it!"
Metal Man (GM): Matek is reading a magazine.
Deloth catches the gun.
Matek: "Hmmm... I can get new lamps for only $25?"
Deloth: "And here we goooo!" *He fires a shot at Matek.*
Metal Man (GM): You shoot Matek easily.
Matek: "Ow!"
Deloth follows this up with a jump shot.
Metal Man (GM): Hit!
Deloth fires another shot as he hits the ground.
Metal Man (GM): Miss.
Deloth tosses the gun back to Gibby.
Gibby catches it.
Matek: "I'm tired of being shot at... prepare to be melted, marshmallow thing!"
Metal Man (GM): Matek fires another holy lightning bolt. *BZAP.*
Gibby: "Grrr... I said... NO MORE MARSHMALLOW TA--"
Metal Man (GM): 50% damage, no paralysis.
Matek: "Hahahahahaha... and now to finish you off!"
Gibby gets hit.
Deloth: "That had to hurt."
Gibby: "...ow... ow... owie..."
Metal Man (GM): Matek's two hands come together, and fire a HUGE beam.
Matek: "HYPER BEAM!!!!!!!!"
Metal Man (GM): ...Gibby is obliterated.
Gibby: "Mommy..." *BOOMAGE.*
Metal Man (GM): 100% damage. Instant hit.
Gibby: *Died.*
Metal Man (GM): Matek ends his turn with that deadly attack. Gibby is now 2/3 lives.
Deloth: "Why, you *Bleep*!"
Garrick Fy`aar unloads another clip of machine gun shots at 'em...
Metal Man (GM): 5 hits. 1 of them is a crit.
Garrick Fy`aar smirks, then cracks his neck, then positions himself in the right spot...
Metal Man (GM): Oh, right.
Wolfman gains 4 AC.
Matek: HP: 579/2000
Digifanatic acks the thought of his lose golf club, but tries that Thunderstorm again to get some hope *...yet somehow, still misses.* *X Accuracy gone.*
Deloth fires a cloud of Flare Breath at Matek "Gah! Stay still!"
Matek: "YOU stay still! HOLY LIGHTNING!"
Digifanatic: "Ppht... same here..."
Metal Man (GM): Matek fires a lightning bolt at Deloth. 50% damage if that hits.
Deloth: "Aaaaah!"
Matek: "SHIELD!"
Metal Man (GM): Matek shields himself from pistol attacks from Gibby. Gibby reappears.
Gibby: "Grr... curse you!"
Metal Man (GM): Deloth dies.
Gibby shoots a wave of fire at Matek.
Deloth keels over.
Matek: "I'm winning! Hahahahahaha!"
Digifanatic: "Well, that's three gone for their first life..."
Metal Man (GM): Your wave of fire reflects back and hits you instead.
Gibby: "Burned... yet AGAIN!" *12% to me.*
Garrick Fy`aar smirks wider, then hits the small flashing button on his Mach Claw *OVERDRIVE.*
Gibby: "Actually, that was my second..."
Digifanatic: "Oh, sorry man..."
Metal Man (GM): Garrick goes into overdrive mode. He may attack.
Gibby: "Yeah... but I'll go down FIGHTING!!!"
Digifanatic looks at Garrick. "If only I was that lucky..."
Garrick Fy`aar starts out by turning the Mach Claw into a HUGE cannon, aimming it at Matek and firing a MASSIVE red beam at him.
Matek: "Come on... you haven't even dented me!"
Metal Man (GM): Hit.
Digifanatic: "I'd say that's more than a dent..."
Garrick Fy`aar follows up with turning his crystal RED gun now and firing off all ten shots at Matek, each one blazing like a laser.
Matek: "Grrrr... that mildly burnt my cape!"
Metal Man (GM): Miss miss!
Digifanatic: "I didn't want to, but it's my only chance..." *He uses his other X Accuracy.*
Garrick Fy`aar glares hard at Matek, plotting his next attack.
Digifanatic tosses the Fire Bomb he bought. "Aghh... boy am I having problems..."
Metal Man (GM): ...I'll be nice and make that clip his foot.
Digifanatic: "Wow... lucky..."
Gibby passes his gun to Deloth. "He might be able to shield from me, but maybe he can't use the shield if you shoot."
Metal Man (GM): Matek is still looking tough, and he's killed a total of three people.
Deloth grabs the gun and fires a jumping shot at Matek "Here goes!"
Metal Man (GM): Miss!
Matek: "Take this, bad shot! HOLY LIGHTNING!"
Metal Man (GM): 50%... that definitely hits. No paralyzing action.
Deloth crumples to his knees, dropping the gun.
Matek: "Dimensional Surge!"
Gibby: "...ouch..."
Metal Man (GM): Did both of those d20s hit?
Deloth: "Gibby... get the gun..."
Gibby grabs the gun, and backs away.
Metal Man (GM): 40% damage... two INT saves if you aren't already dead/dying ..Both succeed. Lucky you!
Gibby: "Del, you ok?"
Metal Man (GM): Matek, however, is gonna try to kill you more.
Deloth: *Coughs blood* "No..."
Matek: "Just die!"
Gibby: "Grr..."
Metal Man (GM): Matek fires another bolt at Deloth. 50% damage if that connects.
Deloth: "AAAAGHHH!" *He gets wasted again.*
Metal Man (GM): Deloth dies again... Matek, still on a roll, turns to attack Gibby with another bolt of Holy Lightning.
Wolfman: .oO(It's times like this I wish I had better mobility.)
Metal Man (GM): 50% damage if that hits. Gibby is PARALYZED! Gibby's AC is halved.
Gibby: "Damn it..."
Metal Man (GM): Matek then fires another Dimensional surge attack. 20% damage... roll an INT save. You save yourself... only to have another bolt of lightning shot at you. 50% as that hits.
Gibby: *Death.*
Digifanatic: "Oh no..."
Metal Man (GM): Matek turns ends... as he killed two people in one turn.
Matek: "Hahahahahahahaha!"
Metal Man (GM): Matek has broken a record. He's killed 5 people.
Wolfman: "Quit the laughing!"
Digifanatic: "Alright Yurie... time to show him you are boss..."
Metal Man (GM): Gibby is out of the battle, as he is the first to lose all his lives. So, he's just KO'd on the ground.
Yurie growls, unleashing a double Swallow Swing on Matek.
Gibby's gun rest on top of his ceremoniously.
Metal Man (GM): Hit hit.
Digifanatic reaches for Gibby's gun. "Take it, Del." He hands the gun to IDel.
Metal Man (GM): Digi: You get dah gun and give it to Deloth.
Yurie continues by pulling out a multicolored cube and chucking it towards Matek.
Metal Man (GM): It hits Matek.
Digifanatic: "Oh my gosh... where did you get that thing?"
Metal Man (GM): So then, what does the cube do? Do you have a random roll for it? Random cube from http://www.smbhq.com/users/ssb_rpg/Cubes.html? It's a mug cube! Yurie steals... 10,000 coins from Matek! He's rich! Yurie may continue.
Matek: "Heyyyyyy! That's my money, Thief!"
Digifanatic: "Nice nabbing."
Yurie unleashes a SECOND Swallow Swing.
Matek: "I'll just have to kill yah like the marshmallow there..."
Metal Man (GM): Yurie: Is that ranged? Miss hit.
Yurie: *annnnnd CRIT!*
Metal Man (GM): Sirens go off. Random klaxon and whistles go off. Rainbow lights and whizzing noises and party confetti flies around.
Matek's HP: 777/2000
Matek: "Gah! The evil unlucky number of doom!"
Metal Man (GM): Matek glows... time for three random slot machine rolls! Wow... almost a 777! DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING! Deloth: If you're above your maximum HP, yes.
Deloth gasps, then collapses to the ground.
Metal Man (GM): Everyone (Including Aribar) gains.... 14,020 coins! The lights and insane stuff fades out. I guess you were all very lucky...
Aribar: "...DARNIT! More coins to get rid of!"
Matek: "...I have no clue what just happened... last time I fight in between two dimensions!"
Wolfman: "For once, I agree with you."
Polom applies Shell to Yurie, as Porom unleashes a Fira on Matek *30% fire.*
Metal Man (GM): Hit.
Porom then unleashes a Thundera on Matek.
Matek: "Ow!"
Metal Man (GM): Hit.
Yurie: *25% lightning and STUN!*
Porom: "And now, be GONE!" *He levels a finger at Matek. a black portal opens in front of him, followed by a skeletal hand reaching out and touching him.* *Strength Save.*
Matek: "Hah! Take that, bony old hand!"
Espen unleashes a Swallow Swing on Matek.
Metal Man (GM): Miss crit!
Digifanatic: "You sure have some good friends, Yurie."
Yurie: "Thanks."
Matek: "Gah... you're next... I'm only starting!"
Metal Man (GM): Yurie: Your group is done? Gibby is still dead on the floor. He can't be revived until the mission is over. Matek is... still looking tough, despite having several bullet holes, burn marks, dents, and the like.
Garrick Fy`aar slowly takes his gun with both hands, splitting it into two guns, both glowing bright red. He smirks, then unLOADS on him.
Metal Man (GM): He's also almost entirely charred black. 7 hits. Matek glows. The stun suddenly disappears... http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/nuclear/682/midi/creeping.mid His eyes go red.... He then whips his hand out, gaining... his green lightsaber.
Garrick Fy`aar continues to glare. He, by the way, is looking very pumped and lean. He cracks his neck back and forth before waiting for the incoming attack.
Wolfman steps back a bit... that looks like a more advanced version of his beam saber.
Matek: "It's time to teach you a lesson! That first battle was a joke!"
Aribar: "Hrm..." *He backs up a bit and begins glowing... He's charging Terrorbolt...*
Wolfman better defend this time around.
Metal Man (GM): Matek is looking much more evil now, and the teleporter is beginning to activate.
Deloth: "We have to stop that teleporter!"
Matek: "Seeing me in this state is something few live to speak of. I will destroy you all, and then go to the Light World!"
Deloth fires a shot of Flare Breath at the Ether.
Matek: "I control the teleporter. Unless you know how to manipulate Ether, there is no hope of stopping me..."
Metal Man (GM): The Flare Breath hits the Ether and is annihilated on contact.
Yurie: "We could always blow it up." ^^
Matek: "Take... THIS!"
Metal Man (GM): Matek glows, energy from him pouring into the moat.
Deloth: "Oh, no..."
Metal Man (GM): The moat starts rising up.... Surrounding him like a wall....
Yurie: "Oh great..."
Metal Man (GM): Then it rushes at everyone like a tidal wave.
Yurie: *DODGE!!*"
Metal Man (GM): Roll an INT save, everybody. Garrick takes 110 damage. Deloth takes 60 damage. Aribar takes 50 damage. Yurie takes 50 damage. Wolfman takes 60 damage.
Deloth: "No..."
Wolfman: "Systems overheating... overloaded!"
Metal Man (GM): The first roller takes 60 damage, the second roller takes 130 damage, the last roller takes no damage.
Wolfman: *BOOM Boom boom boom boom...*
Palom: "POROM!!"
Metal Man (GM): So... Palom: 60 damage. Paron: 130 damage. Espen: 0 damage.
Aribar shakes through the destructive acids and continues concentrating on the charge.
Metal Man (GM): Any more deaths?
Garrick Fy`aar gets nailed...
Porom is killed.
Metal Man (GM): Okay... anyone else dead? Wolfman? Garrick? Garrick: The DC is your current HP - your max HP.
Garrick Fy`aar made it.
Metal Man (GM): Ok... Wolfman and Parom are dead, and miss their turns. Yeah. Matek flies towards Yurie.
Garrick Fy`aar growls, getting hit, but not leaving his Overdrive mode...
Matek: "Die, Infidel!"
Metal Man (GM): 15% per hit. The 27 is also a crit.
Yurie: *Miss miss miss Hit hit.*
Metal Man (GM): 45% damage total. Matek is in melee range.
Yurie is knocked back, then growls and rushes towards Matek, slashing towards his weapon to Disarm him.
Metal Man (GM): Matek fends you off easily.
Espen follows Yurie's attempt.
Metal Man (GM): You disarm him.
Yurie: *DISARM!*
Matek: "Pathetic creatures. That is my weakest weapon."
Palom catches the blade, then throws it to Deloth and turns, casting Cura on Yurie.
Deloth grabs the lightsaber.
Matek: "Hahahahahahahaha!!!!"
Deloth: "Will you SHUT UP?!"
Aribar hrms... He's quickly debating on releasing the slightly-charged Terrorbolt or not.
Deloth is breathing hard and very mad.
Aribar: "Terrorbolt!" *He releases a slightly-less-than-impressive beam of pure electric energy at Matek.*
Wolfman is angry, even in death... gah, when can he be teleported back in?
Aribar: *BADGES ACTIVATED!*
Metal Man (GM): Hit! I'll make that a crit for you. Oh yeah, just a crit anyway.
Aribar: *96% Electric!*
Metal Man (GM): You may continue. Matek is in Melee range.
Matek: "Gah! Worthless elf!"
Aribar follows up by dashing at Matek and slashing at him with a Tri-Bolt Slash. "Don't you know not to mess with a Jentanian wizard?"
Metal Man (GM): Hit hit miss.
Matek: "Gaaaaaaah!"
Metal Man (GM): With the crit, of course. Wolfman is warped back in. His turn. Matek is now looking officially beaten up... but it seems to fuel his attacks.
Wolfman gets out his beam saber, with an evil-like smirk. He rushes towards him, and attempts the dance of damaging.
Metal Man (GM): CRIT miss miss hit miss.
Wolfman: "THAT felt good."
Deloth charges Matek with the lightsaber "Take this!"
Metal Man (GM): Hit miss miss miss.
Matek: "You have stolen my evil blade and used it against me... you deserve to die for this!"
Metal Man (GM): Deloth: Roll an INT save ..It utterly fails, but still hits Deloth... giving him a GOOD status effect! Deloth is now... Hyper!
Deloth: "Yeeeeeah! Thanks for the boost!"
Metal Man (GM): He gains SPD/8 extra attacks for the next 3 rounds. Matek didn't miss, though, so he gets to attack again.
Matek: "Let's try this again... HOLY LIGHTNING!"
Metal Man (GM): Does that hit? 50% damage.... No paralysis. Matek then glows again... and fires energy blasts at Deloth. 20% damage. Roll another check. I mean... yeah, you're dead again.
Deloth: "I'm... sorry..." *KO. Game Over. He falls to the floor.*
Metal Man (GM): Deloth joins the pile of defeated people.
Wolfman is REALLY, really, angry...
Metal Man (GM): Matek then attacks Wolfman with Holy Lightning 50%... The dicebot goes: AAAAAHHHHH!!!! Wolfman is paralyzed.
Wolfman was NOT pretty lucky...
Metal Man (GM): Matek then shoots Wolfman with a rainbow beam. Roll an INT check, Wolf. Your HP is halved. The current HP you have left, I mean.
Matek: "Die, Infidel!"
Metal Man (GM): Matek flies at you... and... realizes he has no saber.
Wolfman: *DING* *Close Call activated.*
Metal Man (GM): He ends his turn through self-stupidity.
Matek: "D'oh!"
Yurie rushes after Matek and slashes at him.
Metal Man (GM): Miss. Palom comes back.
Palom applies Cura to herself as Porom unleashes a Fira on Matek.
Metal Man (GM): Hit!
Matek: "Ow. Ow!"
Yurie: *FOOM She he then unleashes Thundera on him.*
Metal Man (GM): ...I'll let that hit, but end his turn.
Yurie: *CRACKOOM! 25% and Stun.*
Espen attacks as well, with a Sky Climb.
Yurie: *Comboed Stun. She then lands, then saber dances on the punk.*
Metal Man (GM): All of them miss.
