Reisen Quest Til The End: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Serela]

>If we can unmake the hammer, try a distraction via Virtual Hands while you tele-sneak up from behind for another Commemorative Stein smash!

[Serela]

>Undoing the V-hands near the end of this action is fine if we can't spare the concentration.

[Hello Purvis]

>I really should have expected that
>Dismiss the hammer
>If we cannot dismiss it due to it being out of our control, do our best to steal the hammer back with the Virtual Hands.

>You dismiss the hammer, just before the statue throws it at you.

[Kilgamayan]

> Let's go all-out. Try to stop time in this space through sheer force of will.

[Hello Purvis]

> Let's go all-out. Try to stop time in this space through sheer force of will.

>You decide to try something dramatic while the statue picks itself up.
>You try to will everything to freeze into place. It feels as though you're trying to push down the side of Scarlet Devil mansion with your bare hands. You don't have enough control over this place to do that. Even if you could, you aren't sure if it would affect the statue or not.

[Janitor Morgan]

> How much time do we have until the statue attacks again?
> If it's not much, anticipate its next attack.
> If we still have some time, recall who fought us during the Imperishable Night incident. If Marisa, try to conjure Love Sign: Master Spark.

> If we still have some time, recall who fought us during the Imperishable Night incident. If Marisa, try to conjure Love Sign: Master Spark.

>It stands, and moves toward you. Suddenly it is right in front of you, its fist flying at your face!
>You have seen Love Sign: Master Spark, but you aren't sure how it works. You could try to replicate it, or something like it.

>_

[Janitor Morgan]

> Duck and teleport behind it, but aligned so that we're on the side with the harshest dents.
> Attempt a smaller-scale replication of Master Spark. If it only takes one hand to do this, keep the other hand ready to shoot danmaku if the statue avoids the beam.

>You duck before it can strike you, and teleport away.
>You start to set up the attack, but the statue turns to face you, dashes and appears in front of you, hand outstretched. You're going to have to buy some time before you can do this, it'll take too much concentration. As well, you'll need to find a way to put the proper amount of force behind it.

[Kasu]

> Dodge the statue and conjure up a Lunarian-style Rocket Launcher.

[Hello Purvis]

> Dodge the statue and conjure up a Lunarian-style Rocket Launcher.

>How do you intend to dodge?

>_

[Kilgamayan]

For the love of God, people, I said this in the last topic. Be creative with your actions. "Dodge" and "shoot" are not good enough. YOU NEED TO PUT IN EFFORT IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED.

[Kasu]

> Dodge the statue by side-stepping and conjure up a Lunarian-style Rocket Launcher.

[UncertainJakutten]

Kasu, we can fucking teleport and make ourselves ethereal.
Why are we sidestepping?

>Teleport to the side of it
>Conjure rocket lawn chair

[Solais]

>Try conjuring a freaking laser cannon and slicing the damn thing to pieces if the Rocket Lawn Chair doesn't work that good it sounds.

[Hello Purvis]

> Dodge the statue by side-stepping and conjure up a Lunarian-style Rocket Launcher.

>Teleport to the side of it
>Conjure rocket lawn chair

>You blink away from the attack, as several bursts of green fire fly from its hand, and appear to its right
>Digging into your memories, you create a Lunarian Striker type Rocket Launcher. You never used one in proper combat, but you were trained decently in their use. It appears in place on your shoulder, occupying your right hand, while the Virtual Hands disappear.

>Try conjuring a freaking laser cannon and slicing the damn thing to pieces if the Rocket Lawn Chair doesn't work that good it sounds.

>You think you could imagine such a thing if needs be.

[Kasu]

> Make sure to teleport away from any attacks the statue may throw.
> When the coast is clear, lock-on and fire.

[Hello Purvis]

> Make sure to teleport away from any attacks the statue may throw.
> When the coast is clear, lock-on and fire.

>The statue watches you, rocking its shoulders to and fro again.
>You take aim, and have it directly in your sights. You squeeze the trigger. The rocket flies, and suddenly the statue is in front of you, fist descending!
>You teleport away. It'll be hard to catch it with this weapon; it's slow enough that it can see it coming and get out of way, and you have to be fairly far back to avoid the explosion.

[UncertainJakutten]

>Fine, let's try this differently
>Dismiss Rocket Launcher
>Reform Fear No Anvil
>If we can't stop time, let us make it feel like time has stopped
>Conjure Speed Goggles
>Speed Goggles are an item that you wear when you are going to speeds up to .4c (i.e. 40% of light speed). They allow you to see everything that you would perceive at a "normal" speed. However, this does make everything else look painfully slow, since in relation to you, they are. They attach securely so they won't be lost in a high speed blitz.
>See if we can accelerate to speeds that would be expressed as fractions of light.
>Try going at .2c with the speed goggles
>If we can, start smashing that fucking Apparation.
>Don't even bother with full fledged swings, just tap the guy with Fear No Anvil and allow the speed to do the work.

>You try a slight different tactic, creating a set of goggles and trying to accelerate yourself as fast as possible.
>You don't know if you've approached the speed of light, but the statue is moving at a crawl as it draws its fist back from the strike it tried to land on you.
>You strike it with your hammer. The force of the impact is enough to send it flying. But, you barely have time to register this as the force of the impact reverberates through you as well, knocking you off you feet. Dimly, you're aware of yourself flying through the air, and the hammer shattering into pieces.
>It's hard to even think now. You are dimly aware that you are pressed against the mineshaft wall. There is a lot of white mist everywhere, and you're pretty sure that it's not something that is actually there; as much as such a term can be applied to this place.

[UncertainJakutten]

>That
>Was awesome.
>It  was stupid, but it was AWESOME.
>Try to get a hold of yourself and will yourself back to being alright

To voices: Sorry, I really should have considered Newton in that one. But, you gotta admit, it WAS pretty cool.

[Hello Purvis]

>You pat yourself on the back for the idea. You know that you had to have messed the Statue up pretty badly.
>You try to restore yourself, and feel that it is going to take awhile. Looking through the white haze, your body is almost totally transparent now, there is just a definite outline and a very vague suggestion of color through it.

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

>Keep an eye on your connection to the gems, if it seems to wane too much stop restoring

[Hello Purvis]

>Keep an eye on your connection to the gems, if it seems to wane too much stop restoring

>While it is ebbing a bit, the rate has been slowed to a trickle compared to what it was.
>After a bit, the haze clears way. Your are still mostly translucent, but you do not have to squint to see yourself anymore.

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

>Keep on healing if we can still can maintain a fair control of the gems
>Consider the viability of Reaction Boots in the meantime
>Reaction Boots are a shock absorber
>First they absorb any shock taken to your body before it can adversely affect your bones
>Secondly they diffuse it into the ground
>They also use a measure of the kinetic energy to entrench you so you don't go flying
>They can also stand high speed wear up to .4c, they just need to make sure both of your feet are on the ground when anything hits you
>Check to make sure Speed Goggles still work
>Also consider if you have the ability to reform objects that have broken in this world. i.e., can you make another Fear No Anvil.

[UncertainJakutten]

>Check the speed goggles SAFELY, preferably without going really fast and instead just knowing or something.

>You keep restoring yourself. It'll be some time before you fully opaque again, but every little bit helps
>You consider making a set of boots to deal with the shock. You remember the impact well enough to recall that by the time it gets to your feet, it would have gone through the rest of you first.
>The Speed Goggles seem to have vanished.
>You cannot reform it, exactly, but you could make another. It's a bit hard to concentrate on that sort of thing right now.

>_

[Serela]

>Look to see where the Statue is.
>Assess how it's doing after our attack.

[UncertainJakutten]

>Edit Reaction Boots
>What if instead of absorbing shocks, they reflected it?
>Say you kick something, there's a mild reaction
>If you kick them with the Reaction Boots, you get no recoil from the kick, instead retransmitting it into them.
>This does mean that you can't necessarily bounce back from a kick so much as land on your ass without precautions.
>Is there any way to determine how much time we have before this temple sinks again?
>Also, can we create a Heal Brand? Potion and drink it to restore ourselves quicker?

[UncertainJakutten]

Also, voices, consider that we can make any spellcard we want here probably, if you are into that sort of thing. Myself, I think they lose effectiveness when you can just be like *BAMF* and teleport away.
