You have won the wounding contest with toughness, which would have otherwise dealt a Superficial Wound — however, this has been upgraded to a Minor Wound due to a Realm Rule related to projectiles and traps.
You have suffered a Minor Wound in the Leg. You have suffered slight body shock (due to psychic resonance). -1 penalty to actions for 5 seconds only.

She slowly approached, walking around a spiral, temporarily making the damage disappear to her. When she got back to the flat platform the Lightstone had been on, she had to kneel so her eye was level, and angle herself to see down the trajectory she knew the crack went…
She yelped and jerked away as her vision became totally disoriented once it passed into the spot. Her eye watered as if it had been damaged. It felt...
2024-05-05 14:57:35 +0000 UTC View PostImmediately upon the transition along the bridge, Marjorie gasped loudly enough that Sammy turned around. Her mother was wide-eyed as a hand was gripped to the hand railing, as if lightheaded.
Sammy rushed over to steady her. “Are you alright?!”
Marjorie’s face was white with shock, and her eyes watered. She nodded quickly, then swallowed and collected herself. Finally, she said, “Sorry… there is a large difference between this and…” Her eyes shifted down and to the ...
2024-05-04 15:27:06 +0000 UTC View PostHaving her fill of abilities, spells, and item deliberations, Sammy turned her attention to the Pantheon. She could feel her access to the ‘pool’ of FE just hovering there, ready for access. Sort of.
Still hanging out on an observation platform in the City of Tomorrow, looking down on the engineered hustle and bustle of NPCs, Sammy called out, “System, what exactly are the rules for Pantheon FE use, anyway?”
Pantheon FE can be used for nearly anythi...

Sammy pondered the [Be Converted] enhancement for a bit. The System wouldn’t likely discriminate on ‘damage’ needing to be some actual wizard shooting at her or something. She could potentially stick her hand in a fire and get 1 FE (Pneuma) as long as it was enough to damage a typical person.
It was maybe worth experimenting and trying to stack a little since the time requirement seemed minimal. Nonetheless, time was her big limiter. If she could easily finagle a means to get a hu...
2024-05-02 14:51:09 +0000 UTC View PostOh snap, it caught me by surprise! Boom, baby!
The first thing she did was check her deity status and there it was: Standard Deity.
“Aw, yeah, I’m fucking average, now. Take that, world!” She declared it to Heaven with her fists thrust upward. Ironic, naturally. Her assortment of advantages surely crested her well into double-digits. But apparently, level 7 was a relative biggie.
Sadly, there was no automatic Domain slot, so it was likely trapped behind some q...
2024-05-01 15:14:04 +0000 UTC View PostOrswyth received quite the education on the functioning of a train, including numerous specialized terms and concepts he’d never thought about. Communication and teamwork were critical. Sometimes the ‘fireman’ had to be the eyes down the track, such as when the tracks went more left than straight or right, where the engineer could see. And keeping an eye out was imperative in general considering how long it took to brake.
It was certainly more detailed and realized than the snippe...
2024-04-30 15:26:57 +0000 UTC View PostOrswyth watched with great interest as the powerful engine rolled down the tracks. From its front, it had a cylinder at the top and a wedge fanning out at the bottom, perhaps to split and drive away any chance obstructions that got in its way. An exhaust billowing smoke was atop the cylinder, and behind it all were more squarish compartments.
Incredible! A glorious beast and conquest of technology. Unstoppable power.
“Isn’t it incredible, Tashome?” Orswyth asked. ...
2024-04-28 14:29:59 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the shake between Sammy and Glae, the latter walked away with a final nod, journeying back to the mead to have another swallow, and pouring more into the chalice from the pitcher.
I suppose that’s that. Oh well.
She turned to go but paused with a sudden impulse. “Glae. Was it you that routinely left apples by the Great Oak outside of Brackenhome?”
He froze at this mid-raise of the chalice. His eyes turned to hers hard and expressionless. He didn’t answ...
2024-04-27 15:35:18 +0000 UTC View PostGlae seemed to continue musing about Zadkiel. “He was most recently obsessed with Redberry. Now whole by your wondrous miracles and your ally by Pantheon. Does she obey you? Match her with him and you’ll have your slave to do with what you will. A better control than I was as long as you keep him fighting. Both halves satiated should make him even more of a monster.”
Thanks a lot, Hyginos. Just spill all the beans. I’d have to consider whether it was oathbreaki...
2024-04-26 15:31:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe way Glaelychus studied her made it clear to Sammy that he had not shared the vision… She wasn’t sure if that was good or bad. Then he had a dark grin cross his features as he leaned in a bit to say, “You have no chance against me or the Sage, youngling.”
Sammy exhaled in annoyance as she withdrew her hand testily. She favored him with a sour scowl. “Speak for yourself. You had to sacrifice a priceless sword and run away.”
This did actually get him, as...

I’m sure we’d both keep our word once given. Anyway… you sure are big into rules and order. Pretty hypocritical considering the shit you said as Devero.”
Glae seemed annoyed with the subje...
2024-04-24 15:36:59 +0000 UTC View PostSamantha fumed for a while about Zadkiel. Marriage! What an idiot! How stupid could he be? That dirty little shit — I literally would let him rot forever before I agreed to that. He just doesn’t get how fucking lucky he is to even be alive. I will not free him to do whatever he wants. I just can’t.
It was an additional problem that she had Bast to worry about… who wanted Zadkiel dead. But his mother would be alive again soon, restored ...

Her presence was significant — it held power and authority there, blatantly showcasing her as the mistress of the demesne. Moreover, she had weight to her words, a promise within the threat that showed she was not a paper tiger. He recognized it for what it was: the proper fur of a predator who’d killed, who was capable of crushing her enemies.
Hot.
But he was stuck under...

After Zadkiel screamed in deific rage and offense for a while, he slumped to his hands and knees on the cold stone below him and added some wallowing for good measure. His teeth were clenched, his face bared in a grimace. The pain from the soul wound didn’t help anything, either.
All our careful planning and the Sleeper was awake. You swore up and down, you paced back and forth like a ma...

One such awakening was more like an alert in the ancient brain of Thal — the Guardian Keeper of the Dormancidia of the Eternal One, the One True Sage, the Master of Life and Death, the Principal Advisor, His Honor… Well, no one knew his original name any longer, not even Thal.

It was a really special kind of complete peace in that void. Her mind was always running, running, running, with nothing to shut it off. Meditation was one thing, but complete shutdown? Bliss.
The System had seen fit to make divinity still weak to matters of consciousness. As such, some facsimile of a concussion was obviously quite possible, and it was a total shutoff. A sensory void. She found it quite soothing.
There was just nothing. The mind couldn’t seize. Except m...
