Re: THE ABYSS

[puzzlekeeper]

[ THIS GAME IS FUCKING STUPID

Resisting the temptation to creep closer to the edge to peer over, thanks. He's gonna stay firmly planted wherever he started, assessing the area. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Wow is that the ominous sound of metal wings behind you? WHAT THE FUCK COULD THAT BE?]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Oh for fuck's sake—

Half turning, scowl already firmly in place. Also maybe moving his hand into position to summon his Heart Weapon... ]

Really?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Really really]

I believe you owe me one no-holds barred duel, Your Excellency.

1/2

[puzzlekeeper]

...

[ Really??????? ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Ok. Summoning his Heart Weapon for real this time. ]

Fine! If it's a fight to the death you want, then that's what you'll get.

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just starts laughing. Yanno. Like you do.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And how about Blue Eyes rising in the air only to destroy the bridge they're on.

Roll: 4 5 6. Blue Eyes has STR of 10, so that's gonna be a success.

Your move, King]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Oh. Well, okay.

There's really not much of anything he can do to avoid the pull of gravity, but he does Henshin midfall, landing on the bridge below and quickly scrambling back to his feet. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Agility roll to not go falling with King and instead hop up onto Blue Eyes. Only Intensity has to roll to dodge his own attack. Roll: 1 2 4 - somehow succeeds...]

That look is a little garish on you, don't you think?

[puzzlekeeper]

Good thing your opinion is irrelevant!

[ What a time to not have a ranged weapon!! Not willing to be a sitting duck, though, he grabs one of the fallen planks from the destroyed bridge and flings it at Intensity, aiming to bean him off the goddamn dragon. Strategics roll 1 4 6 - odds are good?? ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[You little---

Somehow manages to land on his feet in a crouched position (instead of on his face or OFF the damn bridge).

But that just means he's going to raise his gun and fire at King.

Roll: 3 4 5 with precision 11. 7 damage if you can't dodge that bullet]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ King dashes forward just as Intensity is leveling the gun. Dice roll was great but fuck the dice. He takes the bullet to his side in the process of trying to dodge, Henshin knocking off one hit point for 6 damage.

Perhaps much more alarmingly, getting shot in the gut doesn't even stop him.

He surges forward, arcing his blade down onto Intensity's skull. Strength 2 5 6 - that's a fail. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He shot you.

Point blank(ish).

For half your HP.

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL CHARGING?]

The fuck---!?

[Oh shi---

Whether or not it would have hit, Intensity rolls the fuck outta the way of the blade aiming for his skull

JESUS why are paladins LIKE THIS!?]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ YOU wanted to fight to the death!!!! Don't forget!!!

He doesn't skip a beat at all, lashing out sideways with the blade in the direction Intensity rolls. Strength 1 6 6 - another fail.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Damn right it's a fail because Blue Eyes swoops in between King and her master for a fucking headbutt.

Roll: 3 3 4. Hit. 4 potential damage incoming]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Agility(7) roll 3 4 6 - he manages to roll out of the way, blade raised on instinct to cut down on Blue Eyes's head, but he - hesitates.

Then, wheeling around to yell at Intensity, ]

She's not who I'm fighting!

[ HOW DARE YOU TURN HIM ON SOMETHING PRECIOUS TO YUGI'S GRANDPA??? ]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Oh, joy. You are the first one I meet here.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He looks just as thrilled. ]

How much do you believe in destiny?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Quite a bit, but I'm pretty sure this has to do with ratings.

[puzzlekeeper]

Planning to give the audience what they want, then?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Pointing at Intensity.]

Why don't you defeat my champion first to see if you are worthy enough to fight me?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Mmmm nah ]

My fight with him has nothing to do with you.

[ AND SINCE HE DOESN'T TRUST YOU AS FAR AS HE CAN THROW YOU— ]

And if you interfere I will kill you.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Laughing.]

As if you could. But really, call me when you're done.

[Bringing a hand to the side of his head to mimic a phone gesture.]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ If only he were the type to flip someone off. ]

Hopefully your follow-through is as good as your boasting.
