  30. CCP: 
  31. ?AO: It appears not.
  32. CFC: I keep charging over ledges
  33. CAC: Alright...
  34. ?AO: The narrator finds it hilarious in this silence that you have more trouble talking to somebody than committing mass-gem-shard-murder.
  35. CAU: well i'm going to be off to play overwatch but heh heh heh
  36. CAU: >You should probably turn the lights back on.
  37. CUC: >"I can tell you're not doing that well. Really, do you need anything?"
  38. ?AO: Topaz looks over to you. "... I... water would be nic... nice?"
  39. CCA: ((this fuckin skyblock magic progression))
  40. CCA: ((you gotta do all the mods simultaneously))
  41. CAC: >Give her a glass of water

  46. CUC: ((can do))
  47. CUC: ((oh, right, should dop.))
  48. ?AO: You give a bottle to her. Topaz accepts it, and just sort of sits there, slowly sipping it.
  49. ?AO: Now what?
  50. CUC: ((OH MY GOD.))
  51. CUC: (( O H M Y G O D . ))
  52. CUC: ((JOAJE))

  58. CCP: ((enjoy my massive wall of DOG, crystal))
  59. ?AO: The drone bobs up and down in midair slightly. "CONDITIONS ARE NOT OPTIMAL, WITH THIS LARGE FOREST ABOUT US. I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD REMAIN PRESENT HERE FOR SOME TIME, BEFORE DEPARTING ONCE MORE. THE PATIENT WOULD ASSUREDLY PREFER HUMAN CONTACT OVER TALKING TO AN ARMED ROBOT."

  61. CTG: O O O
  62. CTG ceased responding to memo.
  63. ?AO: "OF COURSE, IT IS NOT MY DECISION."
  64. CAC: >Yeah, stay
  65. CTT: "There's no way around it you're going to have to decapitate me"
  66. ?AO: You choose to remain on the ship, for about twenty minutes, with Topaz.
  67. ?AO: You've got that time now. What shall you spend it doing?
  68. CAC: Hmm.
  69. CTG ceased responding to memo.

  74. CAC: >Toss one plasma rifle to Cyan, keep one for yourself, toss rest on ship
  75. CAC: Maybe an inventory pastebin?
  76. CTT: >request to be decapitated
  77. CAC: >no
  78. ?AO: Perchance. The narrator will seriously consider it.
  79. ?AO: Also, no.
  80. ?AO: You now have 33 plasma rifles. Two on yourselves, one on Strangelove, and thirty in the ship.
  81. CAC: God...
  82. ?AO: These things had better sell well.
  83. CAC: Didn't we sell the access cubes?
  84. CCP: ((And then they turn out to be utter trash))
  85. ?AO: I don't think so.
  86. ?AO: Didn't I talk you out of it?
  87. CAC: No?
  88. CAC: Whatever.
  89. ?AO: ((I'll take them out.))
  90. ?AO: ((There.))
  91. CAC: >Exame meteoric iron
  92. CAC: Examine
  93. ?AO: You look at the hunks of meteoric iron. They appear to be mostly siderite-esque metallic structures, on par with hypercondensed arcanium.
  94. CAC: >Consider their uses
  95. ?AO: Weapons, ship plating, and possible ritual use, if ground down.
  96. CAC: Hmm.
  97. CAC: >Check on Delta
  98. ?AO: You hack into the webcam again.
  99. ?AO: You immediately see something horrific.
  100. CCP: ((blame fnaf)
  101. CAC: what
  102. ?AO: Delta appears to be staring straight into the webcam, inches away from it. The orchid and lime smoke pouring from his eye sockets is quite horrendous in sight.
  103. CTT ceased responding to memo.
  104. CAC: Welp.
  105. CAC: >Put tape over your webcam
  106. ?AO: You put tape over your webcam successfully.
  107. ?AO: You hear the sound of a torn mixture of a scream, a shout, and a laugh, moments before the video chat is cut off from the other end.
  108. CUC: Welp.
  109. CUC: SOMETHING horrible happened to Delta.
  110. CAC: Hmm.
  111. ?AO: Oh Cyan, what hath thou wrought?
  112. CAC: >Ask strangelove if he's learnt anything from the ashen serum
  113. ?AO: ((Apologies, I was momentarily preoccupied.))
  114. ceased responding to memo.
  115. ?AO: Strangelove's lights blink strangely for a moment. "FURTHER SCANS HAVE SHOWN THIS IS ASSUREDLY SOME SORT OF ARCANE ILLNESS EXACERBATED BY THE CHIP IN THE PATIENT'S GEM."
  116. ?AO: "REPAIRING THE GEM WOULD LIKELY BE HIGHLY BENEFICIAL TO HER RECOVERY."
  117. CAC: >"Uh.. something wrong with your lights?"
  118. ?AO: "IT WAS NOTHING, I ASSURE YOU."
  119. CAC: Hmm.
  120. ?AO: "I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE YOU TO RECALL THE FATES OF THOSE ASHEN BEASTS BENEATH THE EARTH, REGARDLESS."
  121. ?AO: "HURRYING WOULD LIKELY BE BENEFICIAL."
  122. ?AO: "UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU ARE INTO BEING MAULED BY TWISTED ONCE-HUMANS."
  123. CAC: >Ask if he knows anything about Delta's... conditon?
  124. ?AO: Strangelove contemplates it for a moment, before swiveling to face Cyan. "YOU CERTAINLY DID A NUMBER ON HIM, MASTER AMARANTHINE. BRAIN DAMAGE IS QUITE THE FEAT."
  125. ?AO: Cyan's eyes widen. "I... did that? To a person? Fuck. Oh god."
  126. ?AO: Cyan proceeds to look back over to you. "I'm so sorry, again."
  127. CAC: Dammit Strangelove.
  128. ?AO: Casual logic, with an indifference to emotion.
  129. CAC: "You don't have to apologize, it wasn't intentional."
  130. CAC: >Ask Strangelove how brain damage can cause...that
  131. CAC: >Also, what exactly is that
  132. ?AO: Cyan frowns a bit, looking away from you. "That's just as bad."
  133. ?AO: "SYMPTOMS HAVE NOT YET BEEN FULLY IDENTIFIED."
  134. ?AO: "FURTHER EVIDENCE WILL NEED TO BE PROVIDED, OF BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE OCCURRENCE."
  135. CAC: Hmm.
  136. CAC: I suddenly feel suspicious.
  137. ?AO: Now, why would you feel that? Why would you do this to the great and lovable Strangelove?
  138. ?AO: Please enter command.
  139. CAC: ...the lights, mainly.
  140. CAC: Hmm
  141. CAC: >"Alright."
  142. ?AO: "PLEASE PRESENT EVIDENCE."
  143. CAC: Hmmmmmm
  144. CAC: >Check if he's been hacked or something
  145. CCP: ((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_kEKW_lL5k))
  146. ?AO: With your considerable computer skills, you identify that Strangelove's current mode of operation is fully within the parameters you set upon his construction. No hacking has occurred this day.
  147. CAC: This day?
  148. ?AO: This year, this existence, and so forth.
  149. CAC: Well... alright.
  150. CAC: >Give him some video from previous chats, not the last one
  151. ?AO: "I SEE. THIS IS AN ENTIRELY NORMAL HUMAN BEING. WHAT IS THE IMMEDIATE REACTION OF THE BEING IN QUESTION TO QUERIES IN THE PRESENT, EXACTLY, THEN?"
  152. ?AO: Please enter command.
  153. CAC: Hmm
  154. CAC: >Hack open audio chat with Delta?
  155. CAC: >Ask Cyan to not talk
  156. ?AO: You can just text him, if you want.
  157. CAC: Ah.
  158. ?AO: Either works, though.
  159. CUC: >Text him.
  160. ?AO: What shall you say?
  161. CAC: >"What's up?"
  162. CAC: I guess.
  163. CTT ceased responding to memo.
  164. ?AO: "you. you did this to me."
  165. CUC: ((OH SHIT WRONG COLOR))
  166. CUC: ((I THINK))
  167. ?AO: ((The color is entirely intentional.))
  168. CUC: ((I know.))
  169. ?AO: What shall it be, now?
  170. CUC: ((I mean that even his color changed, so whatever happened is bad.))
  171. ?AO: ((Ah.))
  172. CUC: >Show Strangelove.
  173. ?AO: "THAT APPEARS TO MERELY BE A CHANGE OF CAPITALIZATION. I AM GOING TO NEED MORE THAN THAT FOR AN ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS."
  174. CAC: >"Uh... what did I do to you?"
  175. CUC: >Continue conversing? ^
  176. ?AO: "you."
  177. ?AO: "created me."
  178. CUC: ((OH MY MOTHERFUCKING SHIT.
  179. CUC: >"Created... you?"
  180. CCP: ((oh noes, his sanity fell into da toxic waste))
  181. ?AO: "burned me into this half of a destroyed realm."
  182. CUC: ((I think I know what this is.))
  183. ?AO: "why."
  184. CCP: (("cout will now reconvene" - Ace Attroney: Apollo Justice, 2008))
  185. CAC: What is it?
  186. ?AO: Why don't you ask your fellows before you head for the robot doctor?
  187. CAC: I was.
  188. ?AO: I see.
  189. CUC: ((I think it's a split. Maybe?))
  190. CAC: Hmm.
  191. ?AO: A split is a term from a fictional series of forum games. That's nonsense.
  192. CURRENT temporaryTechnology [CTT] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
  193. CTT: Ha
  194. ?AO: Please enter command.
  195. CAC: >Ask Strangelove
  196. ?AO: "AH, YES. THIS IS QUITE CLEARLY EVIDENCE OF A SHOCK TO THE FRONTAL LOBE."
  197. CCP: ((*continues to blame fnaf*))
  198. CTT: Kek
  199. CAC: >"So...what's wrong with him?"
  200. ?AO: "AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, MISS AMARANTHINE HAS FRAGMENTED THE COLLECTION OF MEMORIES ASSOCIATED WITH PERSONALITY."
  201. CCA: ((so basically a split ))
  202. CCP: ^
  203. CUC: ((yep))
  204. ?AO: That certainly gets Cyan to freak out.
  205. ?AO: Please enter command.
  206. CAC: >Calm down Cyan
  207. CAC: /brb
  208. CUC: >After calming down Cyan, ask Strangelove "Is it... permanent?"
  209. ?AO: Check passed. You calm Cyan down with some whispered supportiveness and hugs.
  210. ?AO: "HMM."
  211. ?AO: "POSSIBLY. THOUGH I DOUBT IT."
  212. CCP: ((pappap))
  213. CAC: Alright, we should probably talk to Strangelove alone in the future.
  214. ?AO: That would be wise.
  215. ?AO: Your twenty minutes are up.
  216. ?AO: Shall you head back into the ruins?
  217. CAC: >Examine Topaz
  218. ?AO: She's still just sitting on the ground, sipping the water. Staring somewhat blankly.
  219. CAC: >Check Strangelove's code for what would make his lights blink strangely
  220. ?AO: Upon checking, you note the near-perfection of the code. Nothing involving lights appears to be done incorrectly, though you do fix a few bugs while you're at it.
  221. CAU: >Perhaps it was morse? Regardless, you probably weren't paying enough attention to remember the way the lights blinkd.
  222. ?AO: You were not.
  223. CAC: >Promise to pay more attention next time
  224. ?AO: You internally promise to watch over that shifty bastard of a robot.
  225. ?AO: Now, shall you head back into the ruins, or stay?
  226. CAC: Hmmmm
  227. CAC: >Ask Topaz if she minds us leaving
  228. ?AO: She blinks upon your speaking in her direction. "What? Oh. That's... that's fine. I can just stay here. Alone. With this robot."
  229. CAC: >Stay for a bit longer then
  230. CAC ceased responding to memo.
  231. ?AO: "No, d... don't do this for me! I don't want to be a... burden. You can go."
  232. ?AO: Please enter command.
  233. CURRENT absoluteCoolness [CAC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
  234. CAC: Hmm
  235. CAC: I guess for once we are in a hurry..
  236. CAU: well fseftr, we should probably take our leave then, unless you REALLY don't want to leave her here
  237. ?AO: "You can clearly just drag her along with you."
  238. CAC: >Consider programming empathy into Strangelove
  239. ?AO: That would be a monumental task you aren't sure you're up to.
  240. CAU: >Ask Topaz if she would feel better coming along with us, perhaps.
  241. CAC: >Consider having Cyan or yourself stay behind?
  242. CAC: That's a bad idea...
  243. ?AO: Which will it be?
  244. CAU: Going alone is a bad idea, and Topaz uh, might not be in the best condition to go with us.
  245. CAU: Dammit this is like that puzzle with the wolf, the chicken, and the bag of grain.
  246. ?AO: Hah.
  247. CCP: hint: remove chicken 
  248. CAU: If we leave anyone alone with Strangelove who knows what might happen, either at the hands of Strangelove or... wait
  249. CAU: >Is the camp a guaranteed safe spot? Probably not but might as well ask.
  250. ?AO: Define meaning of 'camp'.
  251. CAU: >Err, our ship in the middle of this forest.
  252. ?AO: In that case, you don't know. At all.
  253. CAU: I don't know what I expected :V
  254. ?AO: It appears to have been fine when you weren't there, at least.
  255. ?AO: Seeing as everything is in place.
  256. CAU: Alright well I want to get some opinions then, should Topaz go with us or no?
  257. CAC: ... No
  258. CAC: >Consider splitting up
  259. CUC: No.
  260. CUC: She's stick.
  261. CUC: *sick.
  262. CAU: Yes :V
  263. ?AO: Given the differing opinions, would you like a randomized coin flip to decide?
  264. CAU: She is stick :V
  265. CAU: anyway >Nah, leave her behind.
  266. CAC: No
  267. CAU: >Lock the door, don't answer the door for any strangers, etc.
  268. ?AO: Very well. You leave, offering the 'don't talk to strangers' rule to Strangelove and Topaz, before locking the door, and heading back for the goblin city.
  269. ?AO: Half an hour later, you're back on the balcony elevator overlooking the bonfire of corpses.
  270. CAC: Are we done with downstairs?
  271. ?AO: There was one staircase you did not check.
  272. ?AO: On the left side of the building, I believe.
  273. ?AO: Or, cavern, rather.
  274. CAC: >Go there
  275. ?AO: You head down the right staircase.
  276. ?AO: The magma slits in the wall provide lights as you descend into a singular square room.
  277. ?AO: The room appears empty. You think.
  278. CAC: >Look closer?
  279. ?AO: You both carefully observe the room.
  280. ?AO: There is nothing, save for some carvings on the wall directly across from the staircase.
  281. CAC: >Examine
  282. ?AO: It appears to be some sort of depiction of a battle, with glorified goblin hunters fighting bravely against what appear to be Ashen Horrors.
  283. ?AO: The horrors' eyes have been replaced in the carving with dark spheres of glass.
  284. CAC: Hmm
  285. CAC: >Press the glass spheres?
  286. ?AO: You attempt to press into the spheres. Nothing happens, though they seem rather cold to the touch.
  287. ?AO: Unusually cold, in fact.
  288. CAC: Hmm
  289. CAU: >Look through the glass spheres.
  290. CAU: There might be a large, empty room on the other side that is making it cold.
  291. ?AO: You peer through the darkness. There, behind the spheres, is quite clearly a small chamber bearing nothing inside, save an elevator platform. As well as some Rodarbi text you can't quite make out from here.
  292. CAC: Hmm
  293. CAU: Okay, well that proves that. Now we just gotta get on the other side of the wall without uh, destroying anything.
  294. CAC: I mean, I don't think the goblins would care? Better not to though...
  295. CAU: This could be important, cave-man like religious text here.
  296. CCU: |n this post:
  297. CCU: Zetta vaguely hints at a nasty threat for DarkSide!
  298. CAU: >Shine a light through one of the spheres and then look through the other with one eye.
  299. CCU: Xi is interrupted by becoming a Magical girl!
  300. CAU: Well he probably should get one since he is a godmodder now heh
  301. ?AO: You shine a light through the glass.
  302. CCU: And Roxxanne may or may not have fed a boss pee in the form of Tea!
  303. ?AO: Upon the heat of the light itself, the wall shudders.
  304. CCU: Or just pee.
  305. CAC: ...
  306. CCU: 
  307. CCP: 10/10 rhyme
  308. ?AO: Then, the stone construct slides into the floor, revealing the room behind.
  309. CCU:   
  310. CCP: 
  311. CAC: Well
  312. CAC: >Enter
  313. ?AO: You step into the room.
  314. CAU: oh wait CU is talking about Terraria

  337. CAC: No, best not to...
  338. CAC ceased responding to memo.
  339. CAU: From ashen lungs and blackened skies, the ancient dark shall once more rise.
  340. CAU: >Enter the elevator
  341. ceased responding to memo.
  342. CURRENT absoluteCoolness [CAC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
  343. CAC: Ugh
  344. ?AO: You step onto the elevator platform, and activate it.
  345. CAC: Did I miss anything
  346. ?AO: "From ashen lungs and blackened skies, the ancient dark shall once more rise."
  347. CAC: Hmm.
  348. ?AO: The elevator takes you directly upward.
  349. ?AO: In moments, you are out on the surface of the arcanium nu-continent again.
  350. CAC: Is it actually a continent.
  351. CAC: >Look around
  352. ?AO: It is a massive hunk of arcanium with trees growing on it floating in the void, so no.
  353. CAC: Okay, but size wise.
  354. CAU: /afk
  355. ?AO: You seem to be within a forest clearing. There is a large brick building further ahead.
  356. ?AO: And no.
  357. CAC: >Enter building
  358. ?AO: You walk up to it. There are two doors. One, a door with a hand bearing three navy hashes. The other, a door with a hand bearing four hashes.
  359. CTD ceased responding to memo.
  360. CAC: >Three hash door
  361. CUT ceased responding to memo.
  362. ?AO: You open the door, revealing a dark room about half of the building in size. There is a staircase on the far end of the room.
  363. CAC: >Consider breaking through middle wsll
  364. CAC: Wall
  365. ?AO: You suppose it is feasible.
  366. CAC: >Take staircase anyways
  367. ?AO: You take the staircase, ending up on the top of the building.
  368. ?AO: There appear to be two manned mounted plasma railguns on flat surface.
  369. ?AO: *on the.
  370. CAC: Hmm
  371. CAC: >Try one of then out?
  372. ?AO: You climb to the cockpit of the thing, and fire at some trees.
  373. ?AO: It... it certainly works.
  374. CAC: >Try the other
  375. ?AO: A rumbling in the distance informs you that your shot has alerted some people to your presence.
  376. CAC: Whoops
  377. CCP: super sneaky
  378. CTT: Kek
  379. ?AO: What shall you do now?
  380. CAC: >Wait for them to enter view
  381. CCP: so sneaky, the sneakyness scale had a integer overflow and went to 0
  382. ?AO: It appears to be a horde of goblins bearing the same clothing as those you found on the right path in the tunnels.
  383. ?AO: All bearing plasma rifles, of course.
  384. CAC: The hostile ones?
  385. ?AO: Yes.
  386. CAC: >Fire at then
  387. CAC: Them
  388. ?AO: Tails. You miss, and hit another tree.

  636. ?AO: You take four rounds of plasma bolts full on. Granted, you're nine feet tall, so it isn't too big of a problem.

  638. CCP: >Duallesion. Finish them. using our control over water powers, rip the water out of them, at a celluar level, causing them to drown due to lack of oxygen because blood is water based.

  641. CCP: ...Did i post that too soon...
  642. ?AO: Yes, but it doesn't matter.
  643. CAC: Actually, we should just renew the shield?
  644. CAC: They'll die from the poison, probably.
  645. ?AO: Would you like to do that instead?
  646. CCP: Well, they are badly posioned, so we should do that attack once the shield is fixed.
  647. CCP: Copied down the attack.
  648. CUC: >Bipraesum.
  649. ?AO: I doubt they'll last long enough, but okay.
  650. CAC: >Yeah alright, use the blood of those goblins which got through

  661. ?AO: Cyan drops down from the position that was once the forehead of Aquamarine, toppling down atop you.
  662. CAC: ... Are both of you combined only nine feet tall, or
  663. ?AO: No. That's just how fusions work.
  664. ?AO: Which reminds me.
  665. ?AO: Achievement: Made of Love: COMPLETE!
  666. CCP: Being a 9-foot tall giant is highlt impractial, anyway
  667. CUC: Fusions are generally bigger than the component gems standing atop each other, yeah.
  668. CAC: ... So they're even shorter?
  669. CUC: Nah.
  670. ?AO: What now?
  671. CAC: Description of achievement pls
  672. CCP: ^

  724. CCP: >Distill cup of coffee, test healing power of cup of coffee.
  725. ?AO: No injuries were carried over.
  726. ?AO: You don't think this is the time to make psionic coffee.

  742. ?AO: A holographic screen immediately pops out of the core projector.
  743. CAC: >Examine
  744. CCP: >Examine, and take note of core projector's location
  745. ?AO: It appears to be a combination of diagnostic graphs, and a single bar in the corner, containing a smaller bar on one end.
  746. ?AO: The projector is on the front of the device.
  747. CAC: What
  748. CAC: Is the smaller bar changing in size

  1220. CCU: OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH
  1221. CAU: Well Tazz, let me ask you something.
  1222. CCP: Ah.
  1223. CAU: Do you think you can go for home?
  1224. ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
  1225. CCU: Go for home?
  1226. CCP: INB4 tazz gets the crystal curiser
  1227. CAU: Yes. Home plate, to explain the metaphor.
  1228. CCU: Sector 8?
  1229. CCU: this is the last sector before sector 8.
  1230. CCU: Now, the flagship is a different story but this run is an absoltuely massive success.
  1231. CCP: >Attempt to steal pistol.
  1232. CAC: Hmm
  1233. CCU: Plus, Slug Repair Gel.
  1234. ?AO: That sounds like a terrible idea.
  1235. CCP: Terrible ideas are fun, according to Dwarf Fortress
  1236. ?AO: This is real life, not Dwarf Fortress, sadly.
  1237. CAU: We want fun, not FUN.
  1238. CAC: >Azure: Free yourself?
  1239. CCP: But.. But.. FUN is fun!
  1240. CAU: We don't have numerous expendable dwarves who are either stupid or gods among mortals.
  1241. ?AO: ^
  1242. CAU: And everything in-between.
  1243. CAC: >Cyan: Make a plasma shield between you two and the king
  1244. CAU: Just be glad we aren't facing a giant sponge.
  1245. CCP: Giant Spongebob: It's a giant sponge. Beating you up. And constantly regerating.
  1246. ?AO: You free yourself, and quickly hide behind Cyan, grabbing her hand as she pulls up a shield.
  1247. CCU: SΞCTOR 8
  1248. ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
  1249. CAU: They have no nervous system, so all they can feel is ANGER
  1250. ?AO: The King stabs forth his plasma blade, which passes through the shield, and impales you both instantly.
  1251. CCP: RIPPERONI
  1252. CAC: Welp
  1253. ?AO: Two poofs.
  1254. CCP: INERIOI
  1255. CCA: ((RIPPERONI IN PEPPERONI))
  1256. CCP: PEPPERIONI
  1257. ?AO: You both regenerate to find the King facing the bubble.
  1258. CAC: >Watch him
  1259. CCP: >Spy on him.
  1260. ?AO: He stares into the dome, unmoving.
  1261. CCP: >Take note of location
  1262. ?AO: Location really doesn't matter. Nothing is really that advantageous.
  1263. CCP: >Taunt the King.
  1264. CAC: No
  1265. ?AO: You just got killed.
  1266. CCP: Too late. *presses G button* 
  1267. CAC: >Azure: Set up mercury pools around the king?
  1268. CCP: besides, this game does not have taunts soo.
  1269. ?AO: Furth disruptions of the game with taunts will be met with banning.
  1270. CCP: i vote for AC's plan.
  1271. ?AO: *further.
  1272. ?AO: And, for Cyan?
  1273. CAC: Hmm.
  1274. CCP: He has water powers, or is that us?
  1275. ?AO: Just you.
  1276. CAC: >Plasma shield anyways
  1277. ?AO: Cyan pulls up her plasma shield, and you set the traps.
  1278. ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
  1279. ?AO: The King silently observes the dome.
  1280. CAC: Gmm
  1281. CAC: Hmm
  1282. ?AO: YOUR TURN.
  1283. CCP: Do we toss the pools at him?
  1284. ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
  1285. CCP: Or just continue making the bubble stronger?
  1286. CAC: He probably doesn't know we're there.
  1287. CAC: What??
  1288. CCP: The plasma shield.
  1289. CCP: Might work if we make it strong enough, but thats a bit of a tall order
  1290. ?AO: A plasma bubble would cook you alive.
  1291. CAC: Is talking a free action
  1292. CCP: yes
  1293. CCP: probably?
  1294. ?AO: Recall back to the Witch-Doctor.
  1295. ?AO: Most of the time.
  1296. CAC: >"Hello?"
  1297. ?AO: No response.
  1298. CCP: >"Can you hear us, or not?"
  1299. CAC: >Azure: Make bubble water shield
  1300. CCP: ^
  1301. ?AO: The King responds to your making of a bubble, actually.
  1302. CCP: So, he cannot see us, but he can see our actions?
  1303. ?AO: "Shrouded by night, but with steady stride. Colored by blood, but always clear of mind."
  1304. CAC: Hmm
  1305. ?AO: Who knows? Not you. I do, though.
  1306. CCU: Ugh, got owned in 8th sector.
  1307. CCU: |s the 8th sector always ridiculously hard?
  1308. CAC: He can only see bubbles 
  1309. ?AO: Hah.
  1310. CCP: Be-boop, i am a genocidal robot. Continue listening to his speech if it is ongoing. If it is not, make the water buble stronger.
  1311. CCP: bubble*
  1312. ?AO: You are NOT a genocidal robot, and you will merely wait for Cyan's action, so the battle can progress.
  1313. CAC: >Cyan: Electrify the mercury pools?
  1314. CAC: Is that a thing
  1315. ?AO: Sure, why not.
  1316. ?AO: The mercury pools are now pulsing with deadly electricity.
  1317. ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
  1318. CCP: that should be deadly lethal. IF he has a nervious system
  1319. CAC: It won't be
  1320. CCP: Yeah.
  1321. ?AO: The Dread King mutters to himself about altar graves and incensed skies, before turning around to face you.
  1322. ?AO: YOUR TURN.
  1323. ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
  1324. CCP: Try to blow some bubbles using water powers.
  1325. ?AO: This is a deadly boss fight.
  1326. ?AO: There is no time for frivolity.
  1327. CCP: Just kidding. Make the bubble stronger/larger.
  1328. CAC: >Both: Throw gluon destabilizers while backing up
  1329. CAC: >Have your shields overlap
  1330. CCP: ^
  1331. ?AO: You both toss primed Gluon Destabilizers at the Dread King. Your shield would boil if it touched Cyan's, so you refrain from overlapping.
  1332. ?AO: They both explode. Red is burned into your retinas.
  1333. CCP: owww my retina
  1334. CCP: i hope i don't have to see an eye docter after this
  1335. ?AO: When the flames clear, the King is standing exactly where he initially was, slightly more harmed than he was earlier.
  1336. ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
  1337. ?AO: The King draws his pistol, and immediately empties two shots of some liquid black substance into your shields. They both diffuse.
  1338. ?AO: YOUR TURN.
  1339. ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
  1340. CAC: >Observe
  1341. CCP: ^
  1342. CCP: Focusing on the damage.
  1343. ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
  1344. CCP: His HP bar has lost like a 5th of its srenght
  1345. CAC: Eh, between a third and a fourth
  1346. ?AO: ^
  1347. CCP: So, i assume we dont have enough destableizers to kill him with them alone?
  1348. CAC: >Cyan: Fire plasma beams at the king
  1349. ?AO: You do not.
  1350. CAC: >Azure: Make a water bubble around you both
  1351. CAC: >Check inventory too
  1352. CCP: Can't we toss the traps at him?
  1353. CCP: Or do we lack that abilty now?
  1354. CAC: Better to let them be... Traps
  1355. ?AO: Cyan fires two shots into the King. One hits.
  1356. ?AO: You close the opening with your bubble once more.
  1357. ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
  1358. ?AO: The Dread King raises his lantern. The fluorite gem within sputters somewhat. He stares into it, fascinated.
  1359. ?AO: YOUR TURN.
  1360. ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
  1361. CAC: Hmm.
  1362. CAC: >Observe
  1363. CCP: Sp. about that inventory check?
  1364. ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
  1365. CAC: >Utilize
  1366. ?AO: AZURE INV: Medkit x2, Water Vial, Mercurial Water Vial, Undulating Water Vial, Welding Equipment, Cthk'aryvt's Blessing/Curse x4, Gem Fragment x3, Ylahrthuian Salt x3, Amalgam Interface, Flipside Elixir, Gluon Destabilizer, Potion of the Nine, Bottle of Water, Draught of Tears x2, Plasma Rifle x150, Ashwater Serum, Incense Jar, Psionic Coffee Machine.
  1367. ?AO: CYAN INV: δ-ψ-φ-Bioschema, Deactivated Vitae Canister, Medkit x2, Gluon Destabilizer, Laser Pointer, Plasma Rifle.
  1368. CAC: ... He lost quite a bit of health there.
  1369. CCP: It looks like the destableizers hurt him a lot
  1370. ?AO: Actually, he lost three health in that last attack.
  1371. CAC: >Azure: Fire plasma rifle, avoid the lantern
  1372. CCP: Should we toss the coffee machine at him?
  1373. CAC: >Cyan: Fire plasma beams, also avoiding the lantern
  1374. ?AO: You both hit.
  1375. ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
  1376. ?AO: The King casually reloads his pistol, and diffuses your shield. He seems to be holding back...
  1377. ?AO: YOUR TURN.
  1378. ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
  1379. CCP: Observe his HP.
  1380. CAC: Huh
  1381. CCP: Prepare for RAIG MODE with bubble shield.
  1382. ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
  1383. CCP: The damage from each attack seems to be lessening
  1384. CCP: Is his armor getting stronger?
  1385. CAC: >Azure: Create a bubble shield, this time using poison water. Don't let it touch either of you, of course.
  1386. CAC: >Cyan: Fire plasma beams at his pistol arm?
  1387. CCP: Try targeting the lantren if all else fails.
  1388. CAC: No
  1389. ?AO: Holy shit, no.
  1390. ?AO: You aren't a murderer.
  1391. ?AO: You once more create a shield.
  1392. CCP: *points to 149 goblins*
  1393. ?AO: Cyan shoots the King in the arm.
  1394. CCP: Also, i rather unaware of certain things..
  1395. CCP: Hence any stupidity
  1396. ?AO: Tails. The King does not drop his gun.
  1397. ?AO: ENEMY ATTACK.
  1398. ?AO: The King chuckles slightly, holstering his pistol. With a swift fluorish, he draws his blade, activates the plasma edge, and leaps toward you. His lantern begins to glow slightly more than usual.
  1399. ?AO: Fortunately, the blade bounces off the shield.
  1400. ?AO: YOUR TURN.
  1401. ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
  1402. CCP: Interesting. Last time he did that, it periced.
  1403. CCP: Keep that in mind.
  1404. CAC: Well that trap didn't work.
  1405. CAC: >Observe
  1406. ?AO: He leapt over it, yeah.
  1407. CCP: Regenerate the bubble shield's damage, postion the traps better.
  1408. ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
  1409. CAC: Hmm
  1410. ?AO: Exactly halfway.
  1411. CAC: Did he take any damage?
  1412. ?AO: One.
  1413. CCP: So, damage has decreased to one per strike.
  1414. CCP: Previously, it was three.
  1415. CCP: So, he becomes more tanky as well kill him.
  1416. CCP: Perhaps the Gluon Destablizers drop his defense?
  1417. CAC: >Azure: Send the traps into the king's back
  1418. CAC: >Cyan: Make a plasma shield
  1419. ?AO: You draw the traps into the back of the King. Tails. He notices, and sweeps his blade behind him in preparation for a strike, vaporizing all of the water with the heat of the plasma edge.
  1420. ?AO: Cyan makes another shield.
  1421. ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
  1422. CAC: Goddammit
  1423. CCP: What did you except.
  1424. CCP: It's plasma.
  1425. CCP: Way to hot for water.
  1426. ?AO: With a massive one-handed strike, the greatsword of the King annihilates Cyan's shield. He kicks her in the stomach, forcing her to the ground.
  1427. CCP: Owch.
  1428. ?AO: The lantern begins to glow to blinding amounts as he points the blade right before her throat.
  1429. ?AO: You have a moment to react.
  1430. CAC: ... Oh, I thought he was huge for some reason.
  1431. CCP: Whelp, this is gonna suck.
  1432. CCP: Same here.
  1433. ?AO: Nah, he's around six four-ish.
  1434. CCP: i thought he would be kinda like the Headless Horseless Horsemann
  1435. CCP: in size.
  1436. ?AO: This guy is more reminiscent of Arthas to me.
  1437. CAC: >Azure: Attack/cut off his sword arm with the plasma saw
  1438. CAC: >Cyan: Shock to stun
  1439. CCP: >If we have no choice but to use range weapons, aim for the arm
  1440. CCP: I'd say aim for the hilt. but thats a small target
  1441. ?AO: You attempt to sever the King's arm with the plasma saw. He swipes to intercept it with his blade, just as Cyan rolls out of the way and stuns him.
  1442. ?AO: YOUR TURN.
  1443. CCP: get rekt
  1444. ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
  1445. CCP: We have a prime oppertunity to attack him here.T
  1446. CAC: >Azure: Back away from the king and fire plasma rifle at him
  1447. CCP: The only question is, how to exploit it
  1448. CAC: The water shield is still up, yea?
  1449. ?AO: It is.
  1450. CAC: >Cyan: Hide in the bubble, fire plasma as well, using beams
  1451. ?AO: You strike the King in the faceplate with a rifle shot. Cyan hits him in the kneecap.
  1452. ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
  1453. ?AO: The lantern abruptly ceases glowing. Suddenly, four of the other hunks of crystal shatter, goblins crawling forth to engage you as well.
  1454. ?AO: Satisfied, the King hooks the lantern to his belt, and draws his pistol in his off hand.
  1455. ?AO: Then, he casually breaks your shield once more.
  1456. ?AO: YOUR TURN.
  1457. ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
  1458. CCP: Observe.
  1459. CAC: >Observe
  1460. ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
  1461. ?AO: Moss Rogue: █████████████ HP x4. NOTES: A short, thin goblin of some sort masked in moss and hide, wielding a plasma javelin. They seem to fade into the shadows when you aren't looking.
  1462. CAC: Goblins have water blood, yes?
  1463. CCP: Yes.
  1464. ?AO: These ones appear to be dryblood elixir-veined.
  1465. CAC: >Azure: Rip the blood out of as many goblins as possible, and use it to make a bubble shield once more
  1466. ?AO: Possibly a side-effect of crystal hibernation.
  1467. CAC: Oh
  1468. CAC: Damn
  1469. CCU: git gud
  1470. CAC: >Azure: Send Mercury water towards you, going through or touching goblins if possible, ultimately forming a mercury bubble shield with Cyan in it
  1471. CAC: >Cyan: Fire plasma beams at the surviving goblins
  1472. ?AO: You form the shield. Every goblin survives. However, Cyan takes one out with a plasma beam.
  1473. ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
  1474. ?AO: A Moss Rogue retaliates, throwing a plasma javelin into Cyan's chest. She quickly short-circuits it electrokinetically, but some damage has been done. The other two goblins fade into the shadows.
  1475. ?AO: The Dread King approaches you.
  1476. CAC: Did it get through the mercury?
  1477. ?AO: It melted through, yeah. It passed a flip.
  1478. ?AO: Shields are pretty terrible in this particular boss fight, if you hadn't noticed.
  1479. CAC: Hmm.
  1480. CAC: Our turn or no
  1481. CCP: So, a more agressive stance is pefered?
  1482. ?AO: Anyhow, he swings his blade in an attempt to decapitate you. You have a moment to react.
  1483. CCA: ((too late))
  1484. CCA: ((lel))
  1485. CCU: 
  1486. CAC: >Azure: Duck while dissolving the shield to send it at his face
  1487. CAC: >Cyan: Parry with own plasma blade
  1488. ?AO: The two of you essentially switch spots. Cyan blocking the blade, you pouring mercury into his face.
  1489. ?AO: YOUR TURN.
  1490. ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
  1491. CCP: Observe his HP bar
  1492. ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt. Poisoned.
  1493. ?AO: Moss Rogue: █████████████ HP x3. NOTES: A short, thin goblin of some sort masked in moss and hide, wielding a plasma javelin. They seem to fade into the shadows when you aren't looking. Poisoned.
  1494. ?AO: Cyan Amaranthine: ██████████ HP.
  1495. ?AO: Azure Lapis: ███████████████ HP.
  1496. CAC: >Azure: Drive the plasma saw into his neck
  1497. CCP: That explains why Cyan has such a long last name. He is compensating for how tiny his HP bar is :ms[a:
  1498. CCP: >What he said.
  1499. ?AO: ((Cyan is a girl.))
  1500. CCP: ((ik))
  1501. CAC: >Cyan: If the king moves to parry, stab him in the torso. Otherwise, hold.
  1502. ?AO: You drive the plasma saw neck-ward.
  1503. ?AO: Instead of going for a blade-to-blade, the King ripostes with a quick shot of his pistol into your chest. He leaps backward to avoid Cyan's blade.
  1504. ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
  1505. ?AO: The goblin without a javelin fades into the shadows.
  1506. ?AO: Meanwhile, the two other goblins who were in the shadows reappear, bringing the handles of their javelins around your throats, holding you in place.
  1507. ?AO: The Dread King proceeds to shoot Cyan in the chest with his pistol as well.
  1508. CAC: Well, damn
  1509. CCA: ((oh shit gg m8 ur ded))
  1510. ?AO: YOUR TURN.
  1511. ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
  1512. CCP: That probably hurt. A lot.
  1513. ?AO: Oh, yeah, definitely. Cyan is screaming in pain and everything.
  1514. CCP: How bad is the wound.
  1515. ?AO: I mean, just like yours, the wound is mostly superficial, as this guy is literally shooting you with ink bolts. However, poisoning is a real danger, perchance. You don't actually know. Yet.
  1516. CAC: >Both: Use your plasma weapons to cut off the relevant goblin's arm/break the javelin
  1517. CAC: Then back off if possible
  1518. CAC: /switching
  1519. CAC ceased responding to memo.
  1520. ?AO: You both manage to break free. You actually succeed in killing your captor in the process, as well. The surviving goblin fades into the shadows.
  1521. ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
  1522. ?AO: The goblins do nothing in the shadows harmful to you. The King grabs Cyan by the arm, and slams her into the ground. You hear a sickening snap from her direction. The King promptly spins about, and very nearly relieves you of an arm with an incredibly swift stroke.
  1523. CCP: rip cyan
  1524. CCP: ready the gravestone
  1525. ?AO: YOUR TURN.
  1526. ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE

  1530. ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt. Poisoned?
  1531. ?AO: Azure Lapis: ███████████████ HP. Ink-poisoned.
  1532. ?AO: Cyan succumbs to the bitter ink-death with a poof of white powder, reducing her to an apatite gem once more.
  1533. CAC: Well then.
  1534. CCP: RIPPERONI
  1535. CCP: in
  1536. ?AO: Grabbing her gem is a free action.
  1537. CCP: PEPPERNOI
  1538. CAC: >Grab it
  1539. CCP: >grab
  1540. ?AO: You now have Cyan's gem.
  1541. ?AO: She'll be fine, as long as you survive.
  1542. CCP: And don't horribly die.
  1543. CAC: Alright...
  1544. CAC: Why does your colour keep changing
  1545. CAC: >Azure: Back away from the King, and use a medkit
  1546. CCP: Because i keep leaving my color unsaved, and it's an alteration of the maroon color.
  1547. ?AO: Hey, TC. You have just dropped in on what is quite possibly my favorite boss fight of AO thus far.
  1548. CCP: Supposed to be a bit more fuschia.
