The blast was already fired in my post. His skin can't be pierced through as many attempts have shown. I hid the post so no one would go off of it while I tried to find the time to explain. I'll unhide it now for you to edit it.

 

[King Crimson]

Sorry about that, I'll try to read a bit more carefully next time


Better?

@King Crimson THEYRE SOOOO CUUUUTTTEEEE

 

[GingerBread]

A comforting hand lands on Castiel's shoulder. And for a brief moment, through the hazy cloud blurring his vision, the dark-haired girl cradling a small sow in her arms had an uncanny resemblance to the girl lying still in his lap.


With a remorseful sigh, and an ashamed scratch of the head, Ree murmurs "It's okay. I'm sorry I brought all of this up so soon, It's just...I can't stop thinking about it and the more I think about it, the less sense it all makes."


With that, Ree gives Porkchops one last scratch behind the ears and gently deposits the small pig by Castiel's leg, then gives him a small, supportive pat on the back.


"...But whatever happened then, we're gonna make it right, I promise."


---


Ree then stands and heads over to Roxy, and while she did wish to ask her some questions of a more personal matter, now was definitely not the time.


"Roxy! Before you leave, are we ever going to see each other again?"


@Light @GingerBread

So.. I will post soon or something. But, are you saying Castiel will see Ree as Ruby? (Or at least really similar to?) Cause, he has got his hands over his eyes, so it'd be a bit hard for him to see anything like that, even if he would.

Yes.


I guess I was assuming that Castiel would turn to see who was touching him.

Nah, it's fine. I was just curious. (Though I do get annoyed when someone dictates what my character saw or did. But this was fine) 


I didn't think the post was that bad, I've done way worse posts than that.

 

[Light]

As the electric maelstrom heads towards them, for some odd reason, Ree's mind wandered. 


She thought about her parents, about her old old house, in her old neighborhood. She thought of waking up in the morning to the smell of a delicious family breakfast during summer, when she was free to spend the day with her family as she liked. She thought about her old school, and her old life. She thought about her old friends and how she far away she was from them, how she would never see them again. 


And then, she found herself thinking of Ruby.


It was then, staring at Ree to realize something, something that made her blood boil and made the beasts churn and squirm within her.


A small mass of demons appears beneath Ree's foot and with a combined shove; sends Ree flying over the projectile and sailing over the Reaper's head, landing directly behind the metal harbinger.


Speaking directly to the reaper, Ree angrily asks 


"You know where they are, don't you?" 


@Light @GingerBread @LokiofSP

My issue with this is, when did she take an injection?

Evie
​

Evie closed her eyes instinctively as the cloth came towards her face, though it was still firing out water and electricity towards the two demons, now shocking both of them, while sitting on Evie's face. The torrent from the runes, started to die down and as they did, the rune's carved into the stones, went dull and grey before disappearing almost completely; Only a faint outline could be seen on them, signifying that it wasn't able to be used again. "Great job on deflecting that attack. I can see that went so well for the both of you" Evie pulled the cloth off of her face and threw it back at the demons, before walking past them both.   


@King Crimson

I guess I wasn't clear enough in my post, but Salvador threw the cloth rune-side toward Evie, which means if the runes were still spewing water and electricity, it would be hitting her, not them.

 

[GingerBread]

No, you didn't make it clear enough. because you put:

Salvador controls it's decent to appear right between the two, and with one, swift motion, swats the conductive rag from Faust's head and into the face of Faust's attacker. 


@GingerBread

Which would, to me, imply that he just hit it over to Evie, not turning it around himself. Which, because of the force of the water spraying out, would mean that it wouldn't turn to have the runes facing Evie. But, even if it did, it wouldn't have enough force to plant itself onto Evie face, again, because of the water. Unless the demon threw it hard enough to completely negate that force, in which case, I feel the danger would be coming from the Stones hitting her and cracking her skull, rather than the lightning and water.


But, if it bothers you that much, I can change it

Sorry about my lack of clarity in that post, I was struggling to write the action that I had planned, so I do understand that it might have been hard to determine what I was describing.


So I am more than happy to revise my old post if you are. 


This misunderstanding is my fault and mine alone.


Also, if the torrent of water is that strong, wouldn't the cloth just fly right off of Faust's  face, instead of sticking on as you described? 


And couldn't a sudden upward or downward jerk (such as someone grabbing and tossing the cloth), cause the torrent to "pinwheel" the cloth, flipping it around while airborne?


As for the stone tablets, going off of the reference picture in Evie's character sheet, they wouldn't have the density to crack a skull open.


Worst case scenario, they would give someone a bad bruise if thrown hard enough.


But if the tablets and torrent of water are that strong, then wouldn't throwing the cloth, boosted by the surge of water and holding the mass of the stone tablets, be enough to crack Evie's skull open anyway?


Also, since the cloth is covered in water, wouldn't it be conducting electricity from the electric blast?

Yes, it should've flew off his body, though I never described it sticking onto his face after the runes had activated, that was you. Though I guess I take some fault for not pointing out that they would've flew off shortly after. Though I assumed while he was trying to scrape it off of his face, he ended up keeping it on, cause of his muscles locking up slightly to due to the electric shock, Like when you grab something and get a (bad) electric shock, and your muscles lock up and you can't let go.


Yes, it could've, I never implied it couldn't. I was merely going off the fact that you said it landed on Evie's face.


 It was mostly hyperbole there, though anything can have enough force to crack a skull, if thrown hard enough, unless it's like, a cornflake or something But, it was mostly hyperbole for how hard he would've had to have thrown it.


It wouldn't have cracked her skull open, though, she is probably going to get a nice black eye, or something later. At least I was planning to. But Evie's a hardass, so she didn't even feel the pain; She's just not showing that she's hurt, though she did hardly feel it, cause of adrenaline and all that.


No, it wouldn't. Cause the runes work, the same way a wizards staff would work. Even if the Wizard is wet, the lightning doesn't come back towards him, it continues to fly forwards. The runes will conduct onto whatever's closest in front of them, and only go a little to the sides each way.  


(Like I said before, if you want me to change my post, I can)

 

[Light]

Question. Why so much debating and typing over a rune situation that can be decided like this


King Killer: I didn't clarify that my post had it flip, can you edit that?


GingerFood: Well no, it wouldn't work that way. Though if you want me to edit it I can


King Killer: Oh then no, I'll just go with it


Ooooorrr 


King Killer: Sure, edit it


Just saying, he did offer to edit so a continuous argument can be avoided....very easily

Demetria
​

 
​

( It was petals, not stone Crimson. )


( ! ) Demetria has the stone runes levitate and fly completely out of the area. The steel demon standing in front of Ree instantaneously gets crushed into a small ball comparable to that of a tennis ball, by Demetria's control over metals. The petals begin piercing into Ree's skin now that Bastion was out of the way. Demetria also has the steel ball project itself at high speeds to slam into Ree's right lung. 

The demon's flesh is steel-like, not made of steel, Demetria's powers shouldn't have any effect on the monster's body.


Ree summoned a demon with stronger-than-normal flesh, not a robot.

You know, you really need to work on being specific about what you mean; Look right here for example: 

Ree crosses her arms and summons forth a large, steel-fleshed, shield-shaped demon, which provides Ree with cover to hide from the deadly assault.


Bracing herself against the living bulwark's back, Ree appreciatively remarks, "Thanks Bastion! I really owe you one."  


Of course, Ree's only reply is Bastion's agonized screaming as he weathers the flurry of stones lobbed at his face. Such is the life of a being such as Bastion.


Turning her attention to Suria, Ree loudly shouts over the cacophony of stones crashing against stone and steel, "First of all: Too soon! Second of all: We'll talk about that later! Third of all: Toss me an injection when you get the chance!"


The way Ree saw it, letting Demetria get away could come back to haunt her and the rest of the group; She was powerful, she knew several of their abilities and she had connections with the monarchs.


On the other hand, fighting her risks someone getting injured or killed, and Ree had seen far too many people die today. 


Retreat or attack, it didn't matter.


For now, Ree took the supervisor's advice, and tried to think of a plan.


@Light (and others whom the tags don't work for.)

That says, if I can read, which I think I can, "Steel-Fleshed" Now, to me, that means that it has flesh made of steel. But lets go look at the definition of Fleshed, shall we?

What I was using was a metaphor. 


I was comparing the demon's skin to steel, not saying  that it was literally made of steel.


I could change the earlier post and cut down on some of the figurative language from now on if that would make it more clear.


Also, I do want to apologize for being a nuisance.

@King Crimson


Whale then. Edit if you want, doesn't matter to me. End game is I will find a way to kill you all ;^D

 

[King Crimson]

So then, I should just ignore the part where Bastion gets crumbled into a ball?

 

[Light]

If you want to, sure. Doesn't bother me but you're still getting cut up since it engulfed you and Bastion in a wave @King Crimson

 

[King Crimson]

 
​

 
​

( Okay there seemed to be a misunderstanding with the way the wave of petals worked and the fight overall so let me explain through words and a 15 second video. Hassan can't teleport them all away due to his weight limit, Evie can't blast them all away with a beam of water, Ree and Bastion can't evade them by simply digging a hole. The petals wouldn't stop floating and cutting at high speeds so them pooling up into Ree's dug up hole wouldn't be thing, that would have been like drowning in a pool of knives that are moving. Tazmodo your post seriously fucks with everyone's post time wise. Ginger I never said it was a golem. King I don't understand how you've been able to use demons without injections in the first place. Do it again and I'll be forced to take action. Evie specifically doesn't need injections to use her powers, Demetria and Suria don't either since celestial items run off of your spiritual energy not mana. Nobody seemed to read what I or others have been saying properly and have been posting whatever they want regardless of rules. For now I'm going to drop this fight and hopefully next time everyone can get their business together so trip ups like this don't happen again. I wanted to do this fight but I can't handle it and look forward to it if you're all posting things that don't match up or align at all and you expect me to somehow make it all work and deal with it. Here's the video on how the petals would work in terms of mass. Petals that are razor sharp )
​

@King Crimson )
​

To address the points concerning me:

• Ree dug a hole beneath where she was standing, hid inside of it and then sealed off the entrance with Bastion's body, meaning that the inside of the hole would be petal-free.
  
  Also, Ree should be mostly unaffected by the petals since she was hiding behind something the size of a large door, being Bastion.
  

[*]You never described the petals as being "constantly moving." It was to my understanding that these petals behaved like regular petals, and wouldn't be able to move unless disturbed.

[*]I've been neglecting to add the "Demon counter" to my posts, so that's a fault on my part, but I've been sticking to the "6 demons per injection" rule, here's some math to prove it.

• 
  Faust & Salvador (2) (6-2=4)
  
• Bastion (1) (4-1=3)
  
• Digging Demons (3) (3-3=0)
  
• Also, I don't like being falsely accused of cheating.
  

Lastly, two pieces of advice from one GM to another:

• Don't get too fancy with your posts, otherwise someone will misunderstand what's happening. This goes double for a system like Freeform, where there are no established guidelines for how attacks and the like behave and it is above all important for the narrative of events to remain intact.
  
  
  To add to the above point, since this system depends on everyone understanding what's going on and on the ability to understand and properly convey coherent ideas; it is your responsibility as GM to ensure that everyone understands what's happening. If someone is mistaken, clarify. Try to keep action as simple as possible to prevent things getting mixed up.
  

[*]This may not apply to you, but I've ran into a lot of GM's that make this critical mistake when setting up things for players to fight against: If you have a "Me vs. Them" mentality as a GM, drop it immediately. I have seen far too many good games go unfinished because the GM decides to go on a powertrip.




With that out of the way, I want to apologize if you take any of this criticism the wrong way, but I'm starting to reach my breaking point and participating in this roleplay is starting to feel more like a chore than something I'm doing because I want to.


I do want to be a part of this and I do want to have fun while doing it, so I hope that at the very least, you'll consider some of the things I have to say.


And a final question about the events happening now, Would Ree still feel nostalgic even though her parents have no connection to Dragon's Roar?
