Got my lazy ass back to this thread and typed stuff. Now all of you action so I feel guilty enough to do it again sooner. :P

_________________________________

Torrent (Gillian) (6)

You create a few spheres of light - not quite as bright as you'd hoped - and urge them forward toward the king, but he avoids them, dashing at Nikolai and beginning to pummel him with a furious flurry of attacks. You curse and start redirecting your lights, but them realize that with them in close combat, you'll end up blinding Nikolai as well.

Handily enough, Gabriel and Widdy help out.




Ociamarru (Nikolai) (5)

"Hmm... how about YOU!"

You raise your arms and manage to make them a bit larger, ready to defend yourself. Good thing, too, because the king flies straight at you and starts striking at you. (4 + 6 = 10 v. 5 + 1 + 1 = 7) You barely manage to fend off his rapid unarmed strikes, and a few of his blows land on your shoulders and upper body.

Thankfully, Gabriel and Widdy come to your aid, forcing the king back.




CaveCricket (Raphael) (4, 9)

You prepare to dodge attacks, but the king doesn't attack you. He goes for Nikolai, striking almost faster than the eye can see. He seems insanely strong and resilient, but then again, there's only one of him....

Gabriel and Widdy help Nikolai out after a moment.




Tokochiro (Johni) (9)

You create three more clones and send them to separate corners of the room, ready to switch at a moment's notice, but the king singles out Nikolai and begins hammering him with unarmed attacks. Gabriel and Widdy help him out after a moment.




Phd (John Adams) (-)

You remain hidden behind the pillar and peek out, watching as Nikolai fights desperately to fend off the king's punches. Gabriel and Widdy rush to his side and push the king back.



caekdaemon (Anderson?)

You try whistling, then suddenly realize that you don't have a mouth. Or hands. Wait. You don't have any sort of form whatsoever. You feel an acute sense of loss as you recall that you once did.



NPCs

Gabriel (5 + 2 = 7)

Gabriel, seeing Nikolai under attack, charges the king, swinging his longsword vertically, (7 v. 8 + 6 = 12) but the king easily floats backwards and avoids the attack, ceasing his assault on Nikolai.



Terry (-)

Terry gets up and hops back down the stairs, beginning a second charge at the king.



Widdy (9)

Widdy assists Gabriel in his attack, swinging a second time at the king, (9 v. 9 + 5 = 12) but his attack is avoided as well.

You seem to find hatred to be pretty inspiring to your animated object friends. :P

Soon as I meet an ally I'll convince a few saplings to be amorous.
