Elementary anarch with Baleruk (Moore)

[Nephrite]

Hm, it surely isn't because of Baleruk... or is it?

Perhaps a different visualization is in order, then. He takes a breath and this time, tries to visualize the Words of Creation for his skills at motivating others.

He is trying to paint the Words of Creation for Inspire Competence this time.

[Anastasia]

Okay, try another check then.

It's still hard. Limbo just isn't replying to him. Baleruk growls low, "Focus! Try something different, chaos doesn't reward the boring!"

[Nephrite]

Different... hm. Something he isn't good at...  fighting!

This time, he casts a spell for a little luck first before he tries something completely different... he tries to create a celestial version of Baleruk! Yes, perfect!

Air forms currents, which form the skeleton for rocks and gold to form around. It's more or less Baleruk, as much as the medium and changes allow. Baleruk stares at it, "Now make water! Then fire looping through clouds!" Baleruk demands, "More! Don't stop! Always something different! CHAOS IS ETERNAL CHANGE, SO CHANGE IT!"

[Nephrite]

Moore takes a breath. Chaos is ever changing... which means occasionally it can surprise you and be much more different!

To add to this scene, he tries to will water -- bright, crystal clear rain that comes down in an orderly fashion -- the very opposite of the chaos you'd expect from rain such as that. It rains over a perfect circle for no reason.

Fire... yes, he's heard about golden fire before -- in the midst and the middle of the rain, a golden fireball that the rain simply does not touch.

I am presuming more anarch rolls but please correct me if these are incorrect.

[Anastasia]

More. More more more and more. Moore creates more, his art on display before him. "Enough with the MAGIC!" Baleruk bellows, "Dismiss that spell and focus on you and your power!" His tail slams down, earth breaking below it. "Don't stop, don't think, create! Create anything that comes to mind. Go go go! Don't stop until you can't do it any more!"

[Nephrite]

Time to lose the training sword, is it?

Very well. Moore takes a breath and continues with his art. Places he's seen, places he's been. Yes, yes, an ocean full of light. Light is easy to create, so he wills it to exist. An entire ocean full of light that glimmers like an ugly, angry sun. It shines amidst a mountain sitting in the sea of light -- Mount Celestia. Yes, the light of the mountain is so strong that it must fill everything else, even the entire ocean with light!

Light comes, then a mountain - then rainbows, then frogs, then a shield of iron, then a sunset. Hills, rocks, boulders. Rain, mist, fog. Letters in the sky. Baleruk drives you and drives you further, time passing as you keep up, working as hard as you can. Sweat trickles down your face as Baleruk gives you no break until your mind can take no more. You stumble to a knee, great heaving gasps taken.

The prismatic dragon looms over you and declares, "Good. A good start. But your ANARCH STRENGTH IS DEFENSE? THEN PREPARE TO DEFEND YOURSELF!" From your side a jet of fire comes right at you.

[Nephrite]

Moore takes a breath. He's been through worse than this! He holds a palm out, face up and tries to pull the ground itself up to defend himself from the fire!

[14:28] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+9+4 defending champion anarch

[Anastasia]

A wooden shield forms to block it, burnt to ashes but stopping the assault. Yet as this happens, a great big rock appears above him, falling towards him.

"FASTER!" Baleruk bellows.

[Nephrite]

Moore takes a breath -- rocks break on the shores of water... yes! A sudden spiral of water appears above him, strong enough to pulverize the rock with its pressure as it lands!

[14:34] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+9+4 what beats rock??
[14:34] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 23 > [d20=10]

[Anastasia]

Water erodes rock, only a harmless rain of pebbles reaching you. Then more! A great, gusting wind glowing purple-red is gusting at you from behind, sharp enough to make the air glow with energy.

"FASTER!"

Even you see the wind, a blade of iron appears right besides you, going right for your side.

[Nephrite]

He's rotated through the elements already that are familiar to him -- time to be more creative!

The wind will get caught in a jar that happens to appear in such a way as to capture it. The iron -- yes, the iron will have to try and get past ...sudden molasses!

[14:48] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+9+4 now it's zany
