Kit strikes the [Fourth]-Metal Witness with a magical attack! The result is... less than spectacular. It's likely the Witness resists one or more of the elements Kit's generic Magical Attack deals. Still, it deals Moderate damage.

Tsatmeiyal moves to interpose itself between Kit and the enemies, followed by the Bulwark and Pavise doing the same.
Ethereal clouds are summoned up to cover the party in ablative layers of protection, and the Eternal Suncloud infuses Kit with Eternity's Sunlight, granting a buff that gives a huge defense and damage boost and allows her attacks to become solely Light & Time element.

The enemies act.
The Witness opens its eyes, trails of eldritch glowing purple-golden light spilling out of empty sockets as it fixes Kit with a glare. The ablative clouds take the impact of whatever it was it was planning to do.

One of the Viziers Directs the Witness to act again. Its gaze bores into Kit. The Bulwark moves to defend, but the eerie light flows right through it, ignoring the shield-Fantasmic's form entirely! The Pavise auto-guards instead, its own cloud-cover being blown away and taking Moderate SAN damage.

The other Vizier Concurs. The Witness acts again, once again glaring at Kit. The Pavise manages to guard against the attack again, this time taking only Light SAN damage.

Meanwhile, the unassuming [Fourth]-Metal Sage attempts to deal a spinning staff-blow to the Cloudrider of the Heavens Beyond, and succeeds in doing absolutely nothing at all to the veiled Fantasmic. Kit gets the feeling the Sage is on the lower-end of the dungeon's level-bound and likely running afoul of the level band gap.

Kit unleashes a titanic blast of Light and Time that utterly obliterates the Witness- looks like having her elements flipped to that got around its Resistances.

Tactics are re-evaluated.

The Dream glares at the [Fourth]-Metal Sage twohundredfold times, effortlessly blasting it to pieces. Looks like it was sufficiently below its level to make taking it out trivial.

The Suncloud calls up an Eternal Stratosolar Front, battering the Viziers with waves of Light and Time, dealing Moderate and Light damage to the metal-robed figures, and setting up the effect to repeat.
The Cloudrider, meanwhile, waves an arm and the clouds around it part to reveal Brilliant Rays of the Beyond shining through, lancing into both Viziers for a couple of counts of Moderate damage.
The Bulwark fades into semi-corporeality, a ghostly copy of itself whipping forwards and ramming into one of the Viziers in an Imaginary Mindslam, dealing Moderate damage and Moderate MIN damage.
The Pavise hits the Viziers with an Unbound Realmscape. Unfortunately, due to the lack of Zones, Terrains or similar, the effect is less than impressive. One of the Viziers dodges the effect entirely, while the other takes only Light damage from the scintillating vista-burst of dreamlike landscapes.

The Viziers respond, both lifting their sceptres to unleash potent attacks against the party!
The first uses its Many Mystic Magics to harry the group, only succeeding in removing the ablative clouds from the party and dinging off the Pavise and Bulwark's earlier-set-up defenses.
The second uses an Essence-Twisting Spell against Kit, only to hit the Pavise instead as the shield-Fantasmic auto-guards against the status-attack. It takes Moderate damage, and is hit with a temporary-thanks-to-its-nature instance of Manablasted: Essence Deviation.


The next round ticks. The Pavise takes damage from the status effect, then sheds it.

Kit and the Dream, combined with the flood of eternally-looping sunfire, manage to sear their target Vizier to death with a glorious tide of light and sound.

The Eternal Suncloud wraps the group in sunlight and statis, boosting their damage and defense via a stack of Eternal Prominence.
The Cloudrider once again whips up Enveloping Clouds of the Heavens Beyond.
The Bulwark buffs Kit's defense via a stack of Mindshield, which flips her Defense to being keyed off her MIN alongside boosting her Defense and MIN-defense in general.
The Pavise stands guard.

The remaining [Fourth]-Metal Vizier attempts to gain control of members of Kit's cohort with Insidious Advisement, but is utterly rebuffed by the Pavise's passive status-defense.

The round ticks. The Eternal Stratosolar Front deals Moderate damage to the remaining Vizier.

A truly punishing barrage of magical attacks, vision-based sound(?) attacks, roaring clouds of sunfire, roaring fires of... clouds, and a pair of reality-and-dream-dividing shieldslams quickly overwhelm the remaining Vizier, who utterly fumbles its defense in the face of such a relentless assault.

Kit and the Dream get:

XP for a Level 43 entity
XP for a Level 33 entity

[Fourth]-Metal Ring- (Accessory, Ring, Null & Metal & Magic & Essence, 8,000,000 Gold) +8,000 MIN, +800 Defense against MIN Damage

2 Piece of [Fourth] Metal- (Item, Material, Null & Metal & Magic & Essence, 8,000,000 Gold)

Come [Forth|Fourth] && Witness- (Accessory, Other: Glitch, Null & Magic & Essence & Ki & Mystic, -4,444,444 Gold) Any entity in any battlespace may choose to bring any number of lower-leveled targets from other battlespaces into the battlespace said entity currently occupies at the start of each round, no entities in any battlespace in the same battle as possessor may undo any actions or effects, reset any rounds, reset the battle to an earlier point, or reset or restart the battle

Kit has four|seven other doors to choose from.
One leads to an angrily-swirling vortex of [nothing], so that one probably isn't a good idea.
Of the remaining three|six, two lead off into corridors of the same lavender-hued metal, one leads to a short hallway with a room visible beyond with a large metal slab in it, one leads to a hall where the lavender metal gradually phases into plates of curved blue metal, while the final door leads to a dark room tiled entirely in hazy, shadowy, and very-exactingly square pieces of black metal. The Dream identifies it as leading to the Square Metals of Ether Spire (Level 1-19).

Kit dashes into the level 1-19 dungeon... she needs to escape and get out. She figures a low level place will let her and her crew find the exit and get out before the glitches spawn more!

Re: Kit tries her luck

Kit flees into the Square Metals of Ether Spire! Immediately, the light levels fall to near-nothing. Thanks to the vibrant fantasy-menagerie that is her party, along with her own vision augmented by her Level, this is no problem at all for Kit, who can see everything as if it was broad daylight.

The room she runs into is square. Very square. It is, in turn, made of a lot of square tiles of dark metal, which appear to be somewhat hazy and indistinct.
A lot of the tiles look a little odd, like they've been etched to look like the backs of some sort of playing card.

There's a chest made of the same metal in the middle of the room. At least, Kit thinks it's a chest. It kind of looks like somebody decided to upscale a box of trading cards, turn it into a chest, and then make it extremely square. Or cube, in this case.

There's two other doors in the room. One looks like it leads further into this particular dungeon. The other is currently opening into a space that is rapidly shuffling between card suit-symbols, various other numbers (which prominently pause on '13' and '15' with a degree of ominousness), flashing bright colours and making a noise like a cross between a slot reel and cheesy casino lounge music caught in stuttering reverse.
The words "RUIN SHUFFLE" are blinking in neon-bright lights above the doorway.

Kit's fairly sure that taking the door further into the Square Metals of Ether Spire is going to be extremely safe for her and her gang, and likely going to result in a fight she'll utterly steamroll due to the laughably-large Level discrepancy between her group and the dungeon's.

Kit can't predict anything at all from the Ruin Shuffle door, although her Danger Sense is picking up the slack there by practically grabbing her by the throat and shaking her about while screaming.

Re: Kit tries her luck

Kit steps into the flickering portal and is torn across space in the blink of an eye. Flashing lights blind her, and the sound of cascading coins and wails of despair become deafening.

Light stretches and flows, shifting into long chains of card-symbols, numbers and suits, twirling and whirling in strands against a flashing background of black and red and gold. Kit feels like she stands upon the razor's edge of Fortune, the potential for great Wonder or great Regret whirling in the abyss below.
Clouds of filigree-symbol-strands swirl into a vortex and part, revealing a sky set with a riot of colours- clouds in every shade and hue, glittering and vibrant, whirling and chasing each other across a sky that swirls with rich golden tones and deep, dark greys and blacks. Set in the centre of it all, high above, a glimmering, glittering sphere of shining strands of wondrous, luminous energy and masterful architecture, flashing lights and solidified fortune hangs, its centre a shifting riot of gold and black.

Kit doesn't have the time to fully appreciate the sight, because her eardrums are currently getting blasted by a buttery-smooth male voice giving an announcement at far too high a volume.

"WELCOME, LADIES, GENTLEMEN and ASSORRRRTED OTHERRRRS to yet ANOTHER RRRRRRRROUND of...."

An equally-loud chorus of various voices assails Kit from a variety of directions.
"RUIN SHUFFLE!"


"THAAAAAAT'S RRRRRRRIGHT! Coming to you LIVE, brrrroadcast DIRRRRECTLY FROM THE MOON OF DIRRRRE FORRRRTUNE ITSELF, for ONE and ALL to THRRRRILL! To MARRRRVEL! To DESPAIRRRR! Today's challengerrrrr is one we've ALL met beforrrrre, who TRRRRRIUMPHED in the SECOND-EVERRRRR TOURRRRNAMENT of the game to grrrrrrace the worrrrrlds! But don't let THAT swing yourrrr bets just yet. Because as we all know, VICTORRRRRY and RRRRRRUIN arrrre two sides of the SAME CARRRRRD! WHO can say which face will grrrrrace us with its fickle forrrrtune? Perrrrhaps ourrrr host: EDGARRRRRRR DUCAAAAAAAAAAT!"

Confetti made of radiant, blinding Wonder and Fortune rains from the heavens, caught in a maelstrom of glittering light before sucking inwards to form the silhouette of a man.
With a dramatic pose, the figure bursts forth from the confetti-singularity, stepping down from his position in midair as if descending an invisible staircase.

Edgar Ducat was a human possessed of frenetic energy, who appeared in each subsequent round of the Ruin Shuffle tournament during the Dreaming Moon Festival in ever-more-elaborate suits.
Now, he is so much more.

Clad in a suit of blinding hyperplatinum set with cufflinks of darkest Regret and a tie of pure, blinding Fortune, the entity that is Edgar Ducat gives a winning smile, his teeth literally shining like stars- for that is what they are. His eyes whirl with golden card-suit-symbols like some bizarre slot-reel.
"Thank you, Vince! Welcome, welcome, welcome one and all, to yet another exciting game of Ruin Shuffle! Today's challenger bears no introducing from me, but for those just tuning in who haven't heard of Kit Timeshadow, well!"
He turns to look at something off at right-angles to himself and winks.
"You clearly haven't been paying attention!"

Uproarious laughter emerges from everywhere at once, then abruptly cuts off.

"But wait! What's this? WE HAVE NO OTHER PLAYERS!" He holds his hands to his face in exaggerated shock as gasps ring out.
"Clearly, we must remedy this! As such, BRING OUT THE--"
A crowd suddenly begins to cheer and chant along with him.
"WHEEL! OF! MOONS!"
An oversized picker-wheel set with a dizzying array of lights descends from on high, blotting out most of the sky as it does. It's divided into twenty sections, each of a different colour, each with a different sphere set into its end.

"As perrrr ourrr usual disclaimerrrr, the Wheel of Moons also happens to contain the option to pick the Physical World of Seirrrrrei itself, but including that in the name would be FARRRRRR less catchy!" the voice of Vince smoothly bellows from entirely too close to Kit's ear.

"Now, challenger!" Edgar gestures grandly, and the disembodied crowd chants and cheers along with him again.
"SPIN! THE! WHEEL!"
A large lever fades into being next to Kit, topped with a shimmery golden ball and glittering with jewels.

Re: Kit tries her luck

Post by Aeromage »

Kit unleashes a glittering flood of XP as she makes her prayer-declaration, appealing to the gods and goddesses, fortune and glory!

Three of the spheres on the vast wheel glow brilliantly in response as it spins- a sphere of radiant platinum, a black-gold jewel-sphere, and a sphere of searing white-edged golden light.

Edgar spins on the spot in a fake swoon, floating as if underwater. "And it appears our challenger has gotten off to a surprising start by requesting specific opponents from the get-go! Surely that goes against the spirit of the Wheel Of Moons! Vince?"

The thunderous rolling smoothness that is Vince's voice fills the air. "Well, Edgarrrr, this earrrrrly in the courrrse of prrrroceedings it's cerrrrtainly an UNUSUAL choice to trrrry FLEXING ONE'S LUCK in such a SHOWY fashion, but given herrrr choices happen to be so VERRRRRRRY apprrrrropriate forrrr herrrrself and the venue, combined with the prrrrromise of a show for the audience and the prrrrrrovided compensation, I think we can let things slide this time."

"And by 'provided compensation', Vince, you mean..."

"Yes, it's a SHAMELESS BRRRRIBE, Edgarrrrr! But that won't be able to help herrrrr durrrrring the game, as WE ALL KNOW!"

Boistrous laughter echoes from the unseen crowd.

"And now OURRRRRR GUEST CONTESTANTS! Firrrrst, coming ALL THE WAY frrrrrom the MOON OF HOLY VICTORRRRY, one of the self-prrrrrroclaimed NEW ORRRRRDER of DEITIES forrrr Seirrrrei, SHA-GOLIMAL!"

The radiant plantinum sphere falls from the wheel and breaks apart into blazing motes of triumphant starlight and divine power, revealing a huge, shaggy white dog covered in ominous swirling black symbols. Its entire form wavers and shifts as if made of smoke, except for its terrible, terrible burning red eyes. Space around it seems to constantly wither at its presence.

"Wait, really? I thought he was just a legend, and dead besides!"

"Turrrrrns out you can't kill Death that easily, Edgarrrr! Especially when thrrrrowing a force crrrrreating new deities frrrrom and forrrr a worrrrld into the mix!"

"Well, we'd best hide the swords, then. Keep those windows closed, folks!"

More laughter, for some reason. Maybe it's a cultural reference Kit isn't getting.


"Next up, frrrrrom THIS VERRRRY NECK OF THE WOODS, we have OURRRRR VERRRRY OWN ARRRRCH-CRRRROUPIERRRR DANNY PRRRRROVIDENCE!"

The jewel-like black-gold sphere plummets to the ground and explodes in a wave of glowing confetti and cards, a male figure in an elaborate green croupier's suit edged in black and gold emerging with arms spread, an ominous black bowtie at his collar. Kit can't seem to focus on any details of his face- it's like her mind just can't hold the information beyond looking at him.

"Always a hit at the tables, our Danny! Let's see how he handles being dealt in instead of dealing out!"

Danny Providence sweeps a bow to riotous applause from nowhere.

"And finally, taking a BRRRRREAK frrrrrom a harrrrrd day of prrrroselytizing, it's one of the LEGION-PRRRROPHETS OF DELIRRRRIOUS LIGHT, LUVECORRRR (4)!"

The white-yellow-gold sphere streaks from the wheel like a meteor, blinding Kit as it detonates with a rapturous chorus of unintelligable song and revealing a mile-tall figure made of searing yellow-white light, of Greater brightness than Kit has ever seen. Its eight arms perform symmetrical ritual gestures with fluid, alien grace. The eyes of its sculpted face crack open, bleeding oily radiance outwards and upwards as its mouth parts, frozen open. The voice of thousands issues forth from it in eerie unison.

"ℌ𝔞𝔳𝔢 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔴𝔦𝔱𝔫𝔢𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔡 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔊𝔩𝔬𝔯𝔶?"

Kit takes Extreme SAN damage. The world fractures at the edge of her vision, bleeding white and gold.

"I thought they were on break, Vince?"

"Well, Edgarrrr, you know what they say about people who take theirrr worrrrk home with them!"

More laughter, some of it with a worryingly manic edge.


"Well, well, well, regardess!" Edgar somersaults from midair to land between the group with a flourish. "Our contestants are all assembled, and a grand game is sure to be had! However!"
He pirouettes with a flourish pointing in Kit's direction.
"While we all know the rules, our challenger hasn't played for quite some time! Far be it for me to suggest she may have gone rusty, but for her benefit and those watching, would you care for a refresher on the Rules of Ruin Shuffle?"

"Right you are!"

Edgar claps his hands with a flourish and pulls them apart, an extravagant cane extruding from the space between. Whirling it like a baton, he points upwards at the still-hanging Wheel Of Moons, which spins, blurs, and flips (exerting enough air pressure that everything in the area would likely be blown away were the group not somehow exempt from the resulting storm of shining clouds and card-symbols).
The back of the huge wheel lights up with engraved text!

Try to match your opponents' bets! The better the bets, the bigger the risks and the rewards! Discrepancies might also cause problems.
Pulling three of a kind provides a prize!
If a Joker is pulled while a Joker has already been played, the first Joker activates again!

The Wheel abruptly plummets from the sky once Kit finishes reading, vanishing below the black-gold clouds she hovers above before rising back up as a great golden 'floor', an extravagant table set in its centre.

"Now, we all know how it goes! As the challenger, Kit has an extra privilege for the game to come! So tell me, what time is it?"
Edgar waves his hand in an exaggerated flick and brings it up to his ear.

"Why, of courrrrse it's time to--"
The voice of Vince and the invisible audience shout in unison.
"SET! THAT! BET!"

"Correct!" Edgar beams, cane abruptly stopping its spin as he spreads his arms wide. "Much like that eventful final round in the Dreaming Moon Festival, Ruin Shuffle can now take any bet you'd care to stake! The only limit is your imagination!"
He winks to something off to his side and lowers his voice a fraction.
"Provided, of course, it's something you own and can bet. I would say something about gambling responsibly, here, but frankly if you're already engaging in a rousing game of Ruin Shuffle, I'd say we're far beyond responsibility!"

Roaring laughter answers him from everywhere and nowhere.

Meanwhile, a spotlight with no obvious source snaps on, focusing on Kit. The air of expectation is palpable.
