Pax RP

The torch Swix threw burnt out without any effect- she was going to have to plant the torches from the other side to have a difference.

Running on the gel proved difficult. You slipped, bounced, and landed on your face more than once. You are almost there though, and your robot friend seems oblivious to the danger.

Swix tried moonwalking faster this time, as that seemed to have worked better than before. The woman used all four of her free tendrils and one arm to try and grab a torch in each. Then she'd turn and moonwalk back to the door at the edge of the chasm.

((Sorry Swix, it's going to be harder than that.

Remember how I said this challenge was not remotely simple? Well... I worked on a little something for you guys. Borg, you've now been bounced beside Swix on the edge of the chasm, cause you took too long, and I can't risk my phone losing this. XD

Swix, you'll find only one tendril got lucky and snagged a torch- the others, and your own arm couldn't pull the others out as hard as you tried. Putting one back, and trying another worked though. This cave sure is weird huh?))

((...Have fun. ))

SLUDGEMATCH RULES
-On either side of the chasm, you can "run", allowing you to start anywhere on A-O 1, or A-O 0.
-On either side of the chasm, you can grab a torch at any time.
-Once on the jelly, you can only move forward, left, right, or back 2 squares. You must move two squares in a cardinal direction when you move.
-Diagonal play is not allowed
-If you have a torch, you may plant it on the square you land, and take a second bounce to get away. If you are not planting your torch, you may move only once a post.
-You may only carry one torch
-You may post again after the map is updated
-Planting a torch removes the block on the square, and one to each cardinal direction.
-If you are on a tile that doesn't exist, you lose.
-If the playing field is cut off from the rest, THE ENTIRE SMALLER CHUNK WILL FALL.
-Always post your tile id when moving.

Kill for my amusement, GO&#33;

((So Claymolder is now a creature that lives near the mud... not far off from his own nickname.))

After the final spell of dizziness abated, Claymolder dwelt in a juxtaposed state within his mind. On one hand, he transformed into an amphibian. Unsure whether there is anything worse that might befall him should he fail again. Especially due to some of the townspeople believed that the pond would be the best place for him now, since becoming frog. What would his teacher say?

Foolish student.

However, this seemingly unfortunate event provided a rare sensation that often took mediation or the Well to achieve: he felt reinvigorated. The downsizing, frogifying magic bestowed to him a strange body, but it could only change the form of his clay shell, not its properties. Even now, his outer self rippled about as it made it more pleasing to his eyes. Resulting in a lustrous silver tone shone about his bumpy skin with an extension for his stub of a tail, giving him a prehensile appendage to practice with.

Seeing that he was stumped on the riddle, he decided to hop on the rucksack of one of the other competitors nearby. Hoping he could at least aid another in achieving the grand prize.

((Awesome XD. This is going to be interesting. (Although very hard to quick type on a non smart phone, I suspect. Ah well. XD.)

I do have one question though,

... What's a 'cardinal' direction?

All that brings up in my head is images of guys in military uniform XD))

((Think North, South; East, West.))

((Sorry, I was working.

Also, what's the in character justification for this awesomeness, it seems rather sudden. ))

((Thanks Jent

Oh and where are we starting on the grid, exactly?))

And an IC reason? You're both trying to kill each other. Its obviously going to take some thinking, and craftyness. If you can't think of anything, and just want your char to bounce around then tell me the square ooc that's cool too&#33;))

((OOOOH, I totally missed the lead up to the challenge. ))

Composing itself, the Artificer morphed the metal cloak once again to create a sort of stabilisation device. It wouldn't be totally still but at least it wouldn't fall over traversing the goo.

Plucking a torch off of the wall, the Artificer quickly scanned the surrounding area and lept onto the gelatinous bridge.

((9G))

Hey, if you have to be a frog, why not be a pleasant looking one?

As you finish shifting colors, a couple of the townspeople gather to take a look at you. They mumble, and eventually come to the conclusion that the magic simply hadn't decided on a species for you until just now. Of course, they had never seen any kind of frog that was such a vibrant silver, and had any kind of tail, but in this mixed up world, it could be possible.

When you hop, several of them scream and back up. Luckily, you landed on the very first person to try the stone, a particularly brave girl who judged you skeptically before getting over it. For a while, there was meaningless chatter from the townsfolk. For whatever reason, you becoming froggy hadn't hardened their resolve to try this stone again.

Then, suddenly, there was a huff from your ride, and a dazzling wave of green. Apperently, she had gotten fed up again and pressed another wrong key. While she shifted to the second stage of transformation, you felt nothing. Once you were a frog, it didn't look like this rock could do anything more to you.

In fact, looking at it seemed to reveal something strange. Through a stony haze, you could see two figures in front of what looked like a large expanse of jelly. You recognized them as two that had gotten through, and felt invited to join them...

But you're a frog now. Maybe figuring a way back was more important than some treasure. That was up to you.

((I'm gonna allow a way to move forward to the next challenge for puzzles like this. If you don't get it, there's not much that we really can do to move the rp forward. But, there are consequences. Skipping ahead at this particular step after failing out leaves you as a frog. There may be a way to fix it later in the story, but since you skipped, you're missing the potions in the hall.

Challenges are likely going to be different, and I hear Borg just kills Frogs sometimes for no reason. So, keep that in mind. But, you could keep trying, and if you get it, those potions are there for you.))

((How do you miss like an entire page of the RP? XD Also, I'm moving you to 0G. On the sides of the chasm you may start on A-O 1, or A-O 0.))

((... Swixy huh?))

Swix huffed, and then contented herself with taking a single torch in one of her arms, rather than a tendril this time. The woman then jumped onto the gelatinous bridge as well, if she needed to play a deadly game with the tin can to get this object then so be it.

((0L))

((Yes, Swixy. You get a heart.))
