On another note, the Duck vs. Chap the Fencing Grasshopper was awesome. ^^

Best fight yet, but how the hell did sleeping toxins kill the duck, Xana? I assume Chap knew what he was doing and avoided inadvertently poisoning him, so what was with that?

Neither fighter could continue the fight, they were destroyed when the environment reset itself.

I'm about to post, I just want to say that:

- I'm not using my blessing, I'm rather channeling the magic around me to power up my boulder-making power to a bigger area (which needs an awful lot of concentration; He can still fight, but doing so would stop some of the earth channeling for some moments, I belive);
- My imprisonment (?) attack would be different, depending on how Borogove reacts;
- And I'd do something else in the end of my post, but since Borogove will split his next post in half and my next actions depend onto his actions now, I believe I should wait for him.

I think this is it. I hope I didn't forget anything, both on my post and in this explanation right here. If I remember anything after Mimsy post I'll say it here or talk with him and Xana directly. I'm really slow today, I dunno why. Sorry for taking such a long time, by any grammar mistakes I may have done and if I frogot anything.

uhhhhhh, what was JR thinking?

>_> Gonna get smashed to so much dust by that mallet.

Relax, Agora. You're dealing with Nada Richman, not Genndy Oda C.O.G. There's no mallets involved (for some reason)

Okay, while I'm tryping, I noticed I'm not really sure what Mimsy did nor how he did it
I think I'll wait for him, then Or does anyone have an idea?

I think I have it analyzed properly.

Borogove slashes upwards, and the blade firmly embeds itself into Goliath's side, sustaining slight, easily-repairable damage, as well as letting Borogove know how to damage Goliath easier. Using the blade as a brace, Borogove tries to sling himself around Goliath, only to be met with earth barriers. Said barriers get blown up with fragments of Borogove's trick swords, and he uses some air power to keep himself, uh, airborne, and by the time he stops moving, he's hovering in place some distance away from and above Goliath. Borogove converts his bow into material for powering up his sword, while Goliath is moments away from attacking again.

Yo, Mimsy, did I read it right?

What I really didn't understand was the part he exploded the earth barriers with fragments of his sword. The description he made still has me wondering how he said the earth barriers worked, as well as how was he able to explode it and in what way it was damaged. Other than that, I didn't think his swotd had this amount of wind power.

I do know he mentioned adding one of the concepts he was readying to his air enhancement to allow him to fly at the cost of losing one of the powers he was charging.

I knew he had done that, even though I don't remember reading it. But I didn't know he sacrificed one of his concepts.

As to how he damaged it, I believe he used the ability that creates a hyper-concentrated essentially two dimensional burst of power to slice bits of it apart. Each fragment's rune carries the full magic of the sword it came from, and the Sever command crushes that into a tiny area.

Well, if he wants to get a concept with more than one turn of charging, he needs to keep mentioning that he is "charging a concept" for every turn that he does. He can have a few going at once, and I think he had three coming into this turn, but he was forced to sacrifice one so that he could fly.

Sicon explained it pretty well, I think, but I still feel like giving my own two bits on an explanation.

Barriers: Not quite sure what you mean here, but I think the answer you want is that he was saying Goliath was making a cage of earth to surround Borogove from all sides, including upwards.

Explode: Evidently, Borogove had some fragments of a broken weapon scattered throughout Goliath's barriers, and he used the Sever command to cut them to bits. According to the character sheet, using Sever causes the weapon fragments to emit energy blades of a certain length and width that cut through nearly anything, as long as that nearly anything is a certain thickness and touching the fragments.

Wind: It didn't, but Borogove had evidently launched himself pretty forcefully into the air. All he needed the wind power to do was balance out the pull of gravity and let the friction of the air slow him down. Remember, he was hovering in the air at the end of his post, not necessarily flying.

Barriers: Well, I believe he pictured the barriers differently than I did, so I'm wondering about those.
Explode: Well, I did damage his sword, but for it to damage the barriers pieces of the blade would have to be falling apart. That's why I'm wonderi8ng about what earth he is referring to.
Wind: I just didn't see him saying that he powered his wind. So I was wondering if it was more powerful than I thought, what isn't the case.

I'm thinking that the fragments might have came from the remains of that barrage from near the first. The ones he hadn't already used must have been scattered across the ground after you stopped them, and then you used said ground to try to form the cage.

Sorry for not replying. Actually, the runes came from the void arrow he fired that Goliath dodged, which then exploded behind him and tiny pieces rained down on the rising earth wall.

Other than that, yeah, you guys pretty much got everything.

Ooohhh... I pictured it exploding further from me. No sense of scale, damnit. Either way, I know what you will do, be it now or after. I shouldn't have broke your sword

I'm not feeling very well, so my post has poor grammar, poor wording, poor description, poor attack plan, etc. Differently from yesterday, I'm not only procastinating, I'm not really well, so my post sucks. If you want me to edit it I'll do so tomorrow if I'm feeling better.

Well, he probably just remote detonated the sword after he saw it pass by you so that the runes stayed nearby. It's what I would do, though I would probably set it to detonate once it reached your area, hit or no hit, because I'm evil like that.

I'm a little disappointed in my fight with Eli so far. Little fighting between us and intteruptions by slime.

I hope my current post can bring things up to eleven and higher.

So far, I'm feeling better today, so I'll try to make my post without procastinating today. The bad side is: today I'm busy, so I won't have as much time as to procastinate, er, I mean write. The only reason I won't write it right now is because I'm deciding which reaction would be better.

That's just fine, Vic. Take your time. You are both doing a great job so far. Also, if you find yourself having trouble, I will be back on four or five hours and I can give you a hand thinking it through. I won't tell you what to do, but I should be able to give you ideas. It's all about the mindset.

I don't quite follow......

Elaborate?

Stopping in to say...
