What do you mean, that wouldn't work...?

[ It really is unfortunate that Michel's perpetually gloomy and suspicious nature has brightened a little in Fragment. He's temporarily too distracted pursuing this very relevant information to actually wonder why Fandaniel is pulling out a tome.

On the bright side: Michel doesn't roll a critical fail, and therefore his pain sensors are off today. On the less bright side: that 19. The unexpected blast of lava catches him full in the face, knocking him back and taking an unfortunately large bite of a Blade Brandier's uninspiring health pool with it. ]

Gh—

[ While he's down anyway, he'll try to dexterously (17) swap to his Mutual Pain armor set before coming up with a blazing Vak Slash. Sure, he's probably dead in a second. But he can try to get a hit in before he does. ]

Have you lost your mind?!

[trollophoroi]

[ Ah, well, he isn't going to be able to dodge that in time (6). He throws an arm up, letting it take the brunt of the slash. His sensors, however, are on. He always leaves them on. He can feel cloth and skin burn, cauterizing the slash cut into his flesh shut.

Yet, that doesn't scare him off. Has he lost his mind? Has he? ]

Yes, actually! Hahaha!

[ He cackles out the answer, losing himself in the role of the villain murderously stalking the streets of an eternally dark city. Another spell gets snapped out, a GiVak Kruz (10), flung at Michel as he circles in a quick motion, deciding to keep moving to try and avoid another swing of that blade. ]

[ The downside of asking a question like that is that sometimes, annoyingly, you get an answer. Michel lunges sideways to dodge that blast of fire with admirable grace (15), but his pivot to counter-thrust with an Ani Revolver (4) is scarcely better than stumbling forward with the pointy end of the sword in the approximately right direction.

Apparently Fandaniel's circling strategy is actually quite dizzying. ]

Clearly. The area is barely a few minutes away. You could have asked.

[ That Fandaniel had asked about the bug is something he will file away for future consideration. When he isn't fighting for his (non-essential) avatar life and his (much more essential) dignity. ]

An arena is hardly as fun!

[ Though wow, wow! Fandaniel avoids the thrust of the blade by a mile (14), still laughing all the while. Just keep circling, that seems to be keeping him thrown off enough to continuously miss. Ah, but he'll eventually decide to come to a half a few steps back, itching to try out one of his newer spells. ]

Though you are always welcome to meet me there if you so desire a rematch. Oh, but first, how about you meet my friends?

[ Once more he reaches for a spell from his tome and this time it isn't elemental, no blasts of fire or lightning. Instead, three lights explode into life around him and take shape.

Goblins! Three Goblins! He's used More Goblins and all three immediately set themselves upon Michel (11) (13) (18). ]

[ The look Michel shoots Fandaniel ought to be withering... if it were possible to look withering while all but tripping around drunkenly with a sword. ]

I have no desire to meet any friends you might have—

[ ...Though the goblins might be fitting, in fairness. Michel dodges the first two with surpassing deftness (18, 20); but his quick steps seem to have carried him right to their much more competent compatriot just in time for him to stumble (5). The goblin skewers him neatly — probably right in the kidney —
sending an annoying jolt of feedback through his side and leaving him staggering as his HP bar drains out.

Spite can surely carry him for one more attack. He flails towards Fandaniel with one more Razor's Edge no more graceful than the last attack (4) because the dice love a bilingual joke. ]

I'll... see about that rematch...

[trollophoroi]

[ Fandaniel merely watches the digital life fade from Michel as at least one of the goblins proves to be worth the SP spent to summon it. He'd been wondering how well that spell worked on other players! ]

Haha... I'll be looking forward to it.

[ Which is true! He loves it when people come after him for revenge. It fuels such a fun loop, back and forth, back and forth, kill for kill, eye for eye. Ah, but until then, Mr. Winter, until then! ]
