Take widdy and to the castle I go(while being sneaky, of course)

Also, on my status is this
-EpicWings (You can fly as long as these remain undamaged.)<---- WAHHAHAHAHA, I can fly forever I guess! My wings just regenerate after being damaged, right?

Status for this transformation? Also, did I roll high enough to learn this form?

> Follow the others heading into the town.

Status fixed, and no, you didn't roll close enough to a perfect.


The EpicWings are not a part of your body originally, so no. Your regeneration doesn't affect anything you slap onto yourself. A tree branch wouldn't start growing out of you if you jammed it between your shoulderblades, and so neither will the wings, though they are fully functional.

Go to the castle in spirit.

Good guys never die, they just disappear for a while.

I'm not even going to say anything this time.

Wait. ♥♥♥♥.

Torrent (Gillian) (-)

You shake your head, displeased, but grudgingly follow the group, making your way toward the castle.




Ociamarru (Nikolai) (-)

You walk on ahead of everyone and head straight for the castle in a confident manner.

As you walk, you feel a presence somewhere nearby. You can't quite place it, but it doesn't make you feel uneasy. It feels... sort of familiar.




CaveCricket (Raphael) (12)

You join the group heading for the castle, led by Nikolai.




Tokochiro (Johni) (-)

You are about to grab Widdy, but he floats wordlessly out of your reach. Probably doesn't want to be bothered. He moves out of the crater and follows the group.

You clamber out as well, but remain at a distance, going for a stealthy approach.

Wait - why are you being stealthy? It's obvious that whoever called everyone to the castle knows you're there....




Phd (John Adams) (-)

You hang in the back of the group that's forming, keeping your crossbow at the ready. Surely whatever awaits is not friendly....



caekdaemon? Why the hell not.

You can't quite recall what you were last doing.... You feel distanced from everything happening around you, and yet a certain... kinship draws you to join the group approaching the castle. You... hover? beside the leader, and for a moment he seems to look your way, but somehow you don't think he knows you're there. This is strange....



NPCs

Gabriel (-)



Terry (-)



Widdy (-)





______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Events:

The group reaches the grand doorway, and it opens invitingly. At the end of a long, columned hall, a man in red royal clothing, sitting on a throne of marble, lowers his outstretched hand.

Nikolai steps forward fearlessly, and the others follow, feeling a little less sure of themselves, but determined nonetheless. Johni sneaks in behind them, attempting to be stealthy but failing utterly. It's impossible in such a wide-open room.

Another man steps out from behind the throne. The one known as the Jester.

"Shall I give them a proper greeting, milord?" He asks with a cackle.

"No - these are my guests, and so I shall entertain them." He rises from his seat and begins his descent down a series of steps. The Jester grins widely and vanishes in a puff of smoke.

"Your Majesty," Gabriel says, practically snarling. "I believe it's safe to assume that you're the one to blame for the countless deaths and continuing destruction?"

"Why, yes, of course."

"Care to explain? Or should we just strike you down like the scum you are?"

The king's face slowly turns into a smile, and then he begins laughing uncontrollably.

"Hahahahaa... are you truly taking all of this so seriously?"

"What?"

"This is priceless!" He shouts jubilantly. "You actually think... hahahahahaa!"

"This is all just too amusing! You've already given me such entertainment, I might see fit to explain...

...right before I destroy you."

"But come, let us first begin the party. Show me your best effort." He opens his arms wide, asking to be attacked.

Watch what happens from the side lines, see if the Widowmaker notices me.

Fun fact : I named it after the nuclear submarine K-19.

Charge at the king, blasting away with my talisman, then hurl his throne at him after making my arms ~75% larger (AND MENACING BUT IN A PURE, SOULFUL, GOOD WAY).

Ah, Phd! It's you who hasn't posted yet! Suppose I can't blame you; progress has not exactly been astoundingly fast. Still, I'd appreciate an action in the next day or two.

Torrent (Gillian) (2 + 2 = 4)

You pull out all four of your daggers, holding them skillfully between your fingers, and launch them at high speeds, powering them with energy and giving them a tendency to home in on the target.
(4 v. 8 + 6 = 12)
The king raises a single hand, and all four of your daggers bounce off of an invisible wall and go flying in different directions. One of them lands at your feet, and you quickly grab it.
He scowls. "Disappointing."




Ociamarru (Nikolai) (11)

After Gillian fires off his daggers, which are deflected easily, you charge straight ahead, shooting your talisman at the King. (11 v. 1 + 6 = 7) Almost all of the beams simply disappear inches from his body, except for one which sears into his shoulder. He doesn't even flinch. You run past him, trying to get up the stairs to his throne, but he points a finger at you (6 + 6 = 12 v. 9 + 1 = 10) firing a beam much like your talisman's, but much larger. You barely stop in time to avoid it, and watch as it burns through half of the stone pillar next to you. He then fires off another beam straight ahead to burn through 4 people that look a lot like Johni.




CaveCricket (Raphael) (-)

"This is either a trap or going to accomplish nothing."

Sure enough, you find that you're right. The king stops all the attacks that come his way, except one beam from Nikolai. Seems his defenses are incredible, but far from perfect.... Still, he shrugged off the attack like it was nothing.




Tokochiro (Johni) (5 + 1 = 6)

You send four clones to attack the king and assist the others (6 v. 4 + 6 = 10) but as soon as they come within striking range, the king fires off a beam of light that envelops them and leaves no trace of their bodies.




Phd (John Adams) (-)

You hang back and watch as the others fight.



caekdaemon (Anderson?)

The floating sword circles the area, looking for a good opportunity to strike. It doesn't appear to be aware of you.



NPCs

Gabriel (-)

Gabriel's sword shifts into a simple, sleek longsword. He goes into a ready stance and begins approaching slowly.



Terry (9)

"Let's get this over and done with."
Terry charges straight ahead, leaping over the the beam that eviscerates the Johni clones, and comes down right over the king, only to be launched all the way to the top of the stairs by an idle hand-wave.



Widdy (-)

Widdy circles the area, looking for an opportunity to strike.

"Now it's mine."
