Age of The End (D&D 5E) (IC)

[TyranntX]

Finally given something to do Vrail lashes out at the nearest flying orb with his tail.

OOC: to hit = 15

You Smack an orb with your tail, sending it flying as it shatters into shards!

 

[DuckPrince]

After a moment, Kalvienne moved away from the others to have more space. These.. new powers the others seemed to have seemed rather interesting.. Should he try too? He took another swing at a whizzing orb..

Ascended roll
5 + 1 = 6

 

[D. Rex]

You cut the orb, shattering it to pieces!



A spark of electricity shoots out from your gun, but you miss.

Toryk growled, inhaling deeply in irritation. As much as he enjoyed the smell of black powder, it wasn't calming now. But he did see something. It wasnt his imagination, there was a spark. A bit more than a spark.

He could do better. But it gave him something to focus in on as he reloaded.


He lined up his shot again. Still aiming for one of the distant ones. The goal was to destroy and he wanted to destroy. But instead of exploding... he visualized it a little differently. Focusing on that spark, and the pull from it that he felt as it emerged.

Gold conducted electricity. Right? It was a metal. Maybe, instead of causing them to explode, whatever he hit would cause the electricity to jump from orb to orb. Hitting everything between him and the target, and everything around and so on. Think big, think big. As many orbs as he can get...

He took his time, lining up the shot, and outlet the trigger.

A blast of air emanates from your dagger, cutting the orb in half!

A Bolt of lightning shoots out from the barrel of your gun, disintegrating the target on contact!

 

[Ilikepie]

Seeing the others uses seemly need abilities causes Shalia to think that maybe that she can do it too. The new powers kind of reminded her a little of that strange spell that the former captain lady did when she summoned those boots. She is sure the gods what her to use this new power as part of this test, but she is still a bit nervous about if it will work or not. She cups her hands together to her side and then thrusts her hands forward towards a few of the targets in an attempt to create a stronger version of her normal fire bolt spell that will be able to hit all the targets the direction she is facing. "Super Fire bolt!"

The flames of your spell turn from a vibrant orange to a vivid pink as your "Super Fire Bolt", strikes a target!

Toryk laughed his hyena giggle, at the sight of the lightning bolt coming from the barrel of his gun. It worked! He didn't know how, but it did.

He inspected the barrel of the flintlock curiously, sniffing it. And would have licked it if he didn't already have first hand experience to know the barrel was hot.

He wanted to try something else this time. Two things. He supposed.

He did not reload the flintlock. Instead leaving it empty, though he did bring the hammer to full cock. He wondered if he needed the cartridge to shoot. Or if it was tied to the gun. Or himself.

And he wondered if he could change the lightning. He visualized a blunderbuss, as if he held it himself. He imagined pulling the trigger and a wide spray of lightning blasting out and seeking out the metallic targets and destroying them like he had the first.

Will it work? He didn't know! Time to see what the limits were!

Toryk pulled the trigger.

your powers spark and fizzle, but no cone of lightning fires out... it seems your powers are too weak at the moment.

 

[Chuckles]

Hopsek pulled out his swords as quickly as Xai said “begin” and pounced toward the nearest orb.

“Finally! Come to Hopsek floaty orbs! Hopsek will poke them FILLED WITH HOLES!” His voice cracked and dropped in places to a strange, deep, dangerous sounding register that did not match the small green creature‘s otherwise bubbling demeanor in this very moment.

Rolling to hit first attack: 8 (wtf dice roller)

Nevertheless, the gnoll was thrilled, the rhythm of his laughing quickened and end as he gave a toothy grin. No it didn't do as he wanted, but he also didn't load it and it still did something. He would need some practice with it. Clearly.

Maybe he should take it easier. Cant load too much powder in a barrel and expect it to go well. Had to control his enthusiasm. Lightning was great. But what else could he do?

Lightning was fast. Lightning was instant. It was sharp and traveled far. Like a bullet of the gods. But saurians also used it for their fancy things. It made things better. Maybe it could make him better too.

Toryk loaded his flintlock normally while he looked inward. Trying to sense any other changes in himself. Trying to feel if anything else has changed. (Assuming an insight check)

He aimed the Pistol again at a far orb, but rather than focus in the lightning, he wanted to fire like he normally did and see how different it was being ascended.



Insight: nat 20 +4
Hit: 31

Your powers seem to make you... enhanced... for lake of a better word. it's too soon to say what they do, but maybe if you used them more and in different ways you could find out more?

your shot also destroys another target

 

[Chuckles]

Growling angrily at the apparent lack of effect Hopsek furrows his eyebrows as he shoves one of his blades back in its sheath. “Fine. Fire.”

Raising his free hand he points it at the orb and casts an eldrich blast.

Spoiler: Eldrich Blast

cantrip evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V S
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Warlock
A beam of crackling energy streaks toward a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 force damage. (+5 for Agonizing Blast)

Rolling ascended (+1) ... 2. (awesome)

You cast eltrich blast, but your ascended powers did not activate. so you missed

"Hmmm." The gnoll mused, loading another shot into his firearm.


As he pointed it, this time he focused in the bullet. Trying to focus the lighting on it. Imaging closing his fist around a ball of lightning, as if trying to contain it for later, except the bullet was his fist. Then releasing his focus slowly to try to hold the lightning in place. Maybe, just maybe. He could hold off the lightning until his shot hits. Then release it. Like an explosion or a lightning bolt that streaks to a different target.

Taking aim at another orb, he pulled the trigger once more.


Hit: 24
Ascended: 12

You feel a sudden surge of power, and feel a gentle current flowing though you. Your attack hits it's mark destroying the target

Toryk starred at the orb as he contemplated during his reload. Maybe he should try something a little easier. But before he opened the paper cartridge, he paused and put it back in his pouch.

Instead aiming again with an empty flintlock.

This time, he was trying to see if he could fire a small bolt of lightning. Something simple and easily controllable and conjurable. Something not too taxing, but enough to still break the orb. Maybe if he could do this... he could find a way to go from there. He had a few ideas.

The gnoll pulled the trigger.

You feel the surge of energy leave your body, as you fire the unloaded gun. A bolt of lightning shoots out, this time father than it did before. the Barrel of the gun glows red from the heat of the attack, looks like you can handle this just fine... your weapons on the other hand...

Another target down. Thousands to go. Toryk looked down at the glowing red barrel. Frowning he lowered it. He didnt want it turning to slag, so best to give it a rest. Even firing it normal while it was this hot could damage the barrel, if not ignite the powder while he was trying to load it.

But that did give him a very amusing idea. With a laugh, he pointed his finger at one of the orbs, raising his thumbs like a pretend hammer.

Sure he was laughing, but he was dead serious. To see if his finger gun had any bang! He imagined once more a lightning bolt streaking to his target, just like the last. And imagined outline the imaginary trigger.

Quickly seeing that this 'test' was going to end badly if he were to stick with his javelins, Beorin once more takes up his warhammer. Taking a running leap from one platform to another, giving a powerful swing from his weapon, trying to use his great strength to send one orb careening into others, hopefully taking out multiple ones at once.

A bolt of lightning shoots from your fingers as you try to imitate a gun, destroying yet another target!

The head of your hammer is engulfed in flame, you strike one orb and send it crashing into two more! Destroying all three

Thrilled, the gnoll let out a string of disturbing hyena cackles.

He imagined firing again and second time. To see how fast in succession he could do this. Each one aiming at a different target.

you take down two more targets, as you feel a slight pain from in your chest... What could that mean?

 

[Felis]

Hearing that the first part of the trials isn't about fighting per se, but rather hitting inanimate orbs out of the air, Diella brightens up immediately. It's not quite clear to her how this task determines whether they deserve a second chance at life, but for the moment, it doesn't matter.

Keeping her eye fixed on one of the orbs whizzing past her, Diella loads her sling and then hurls a stone at the glowing sphere.

To-hit: 20+6=26
