Officially four days of school left, and this is a three-day weekend. Thank the heavens.
Rollin'.

Torrent (Gillian) (8 - 2 = 6)

You coerce a stronger glow out of your hand, and the pain subsides significantly. Bones remain broken, however. Your powers are still too weak.




Ociamarru (Nikolai) (3)

You try to make your talisman work like a rocket, but you forgot that it activates on impact with something.
You make no progress.




caekdaemon (Anderson) (4 - 2 + RAGE = 4)

"Oh for ♥♥♥♥ sake. Why does this thing have to move so ♥♥♥♥ fast?"
"I'll give the thing a slow death for making me go this far in the ♥♥♥♥ water."
"Actually... Why did I not remember there are ore deposit's on the bottom of the ocean?"
"I'll deal with those later though. TO BATTLE!"

Fed with enough rage, you manage to make a little bit of progress - but you're really feeling like the weight is keeping you from swimming well.




CaveCricket (Raphael) (3)

You urge your tail to become larger, but sadly, it does absolutely nothing.
You make no progress.




Tokochiro (Johni) (10 - 1 = 9)

You summon a clone and he sets off, speeding after Foraqe. He's certainly making better progress than you are. Heck, he's toe to toe with the giant mollusk.
Suddenly, you feel like you're not using your cloning powers to their full extent.

Then you pop out of existence.

...

And back. Foraqe is literally right next to you. Did you just...
Yes. You can now switch between yourself and your clones at will, suffering no penalty (And retaining your items - that means your clones now wield whatever you have on hand as well).




Phd (John Adams) (9)

You swim more competently than all of the others. Sadly, there is no debris in this open water. If any fell in, it's probably sunk to the bottom by now.
It just keeps going deeper and deeper...

You wonder how you don't die from the pressure.



NPCs

Gabriel

Gabriel looks tired, but he doggedly swims on.




Terry

Terry finally finishes loading rocks into the Hunchback.
He turns around, sprinting for the water, and jumps high in the air.

The water greets his cannonball with a huge foamy eruption, and he begins sinking after the others.



Locations
-Torrent is on the shore.
-Terry, Ociamarru and Cavecricket are in shallow water.
-Gabriel and caekdaemon are in deeper water.
-Tokochiro and Phd are close to Foraqe.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Foraqe stops at an outcropping of rock under the water. There doesn't seem to be much sea life here. In fact, it seems almost wholly devoid of life - like most creatures avoid this place.
There is plenty of room to swim about, and the rocky cliff is large enough to house ten Foraqe's, if need be. Of course, now, there's only one. And it seems to be waiting....

"Why the ♥♥♥♥ did I not think of this before?"
Sink to the bottom of the water and stroll. Stroll with ANGER.

I wonder if walking at the bottom of the ocean clad in armour will make me stronger?

But I'm pretty sure it makes me a submarine.

Or that.

I have 3 posts. That's half. I'll need the rest before I can post again this weekend.

Torrent (Gillian) (9)

"Honestly, I doubt I'll be much use down there, but... Hmm... Ok, I just got an idea."
Thanks to the pain relief, you're unimpeded as you dive into the water and turbo-blast yourself all the way down to the deep end where Foraqe is. You can feel the water pressure quickly rising, but somehow, it's as if it's all around you and not affecting you at all.




Ociamarru (Nikolai) (5)

You swim s'more, and even with little effort, you make it to the sea ledge where the others are.




caekdaemon (Anderson) (9)

"Why the ♥♥♥♥ did I not think of this before?"
You sink quickly to the bottom and RAGE-STROLL your way quickly to where the others are gathering around the big, ugly shellfish.

Just seeing that thing up close pisses you off so much...

Something inside of you snaps.

Gained Rage Application! This skill allows you to apply built-up rage into actions to make them more effective! Rage builds up over time when certain events happen that make you angry, such as getting injured, being uncomfortable, and in general, experiencing things that displease you. For every 2 ticks filled, you can give yourself a +1! Use it right away for quick, minor boosts, or save it up for a gigantic anger bonus! But don't wait too long... after a while, you cool off.




CaveCricket (Raphael) (1)

You reach the surface and poke your head out of the water. Forgetting what you are, you take a big gulp of air... and choke.

You sink back into the water, thoroughly dizzy from lack of oxygen, and slowly start to recover.




Tokochiro (Johni) (6 - 1 = 5)

*Pop*

Only 1 copy pops off of you. You go ahead and send him upward. Then a swarm of little fish nearly runs into you. They stop dead in their tracks.
On closer inspection, you notice that every single one has a mouth full of little teeth.

Little sharp teeth.

They're all staring at you.




Phd (John Adams) (6)

You manage to pull off a handful of rocks from the undersea cliff. You doubt that such a tiny number will have much affect on Foraqe.



NPCs

Gabriel

Gabriel arrives.




Terry

Terry makes it to the underwater cliff rather quickly, thanks to all the rocks.



Locations
-Cavecricket is a bit below the surface.
-Everyone else is near Foraqe.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Swarms of tiny fish suddenly spring from everywhere around the undersea cliff and charge forward.

You do mean to THROW it this time, right? Because last time, I assumed that "drill" meant a melee attack in which you spin yourself...

Yes, yes I do. Make a big drill of water and water only, and crack that ♥♥♥♥♥ open like a walnut.

Wat. Shrimps/lobsters/insects breath through holes (spiracles) on the sides of their abdomens. What is this nonsense.
