The Axis of Glorius Retribution Day Five!

Though the day is agreeable much is happening some good some bad.

Back at the cave...

Lightfufu presses his hand against the great stone door and with some struggle the door begins to move back. As he is pushing it open creating a greater and greater gap Lightfufu hears something shifting around behind the colossal stone. lightfufu uses his torch to bring light into the cavernous opening behind the stone door, when a gigantic bat creature is brought into view. It screams at Lightfufu but ignores him and makes a dash for the newly created opening. Rushing for the cave entrance it spreads its wings and heads for the sky letting loose a terrifying roar before it does so. Lightfufu is unsettled by this display but the cave goes deeper even yet. Not letting his nerves get the best of him he continues into the cave behind the door. At the very back of the cave lay a golden spear ornately decorated with all types of gems. Pictures on the wall tell a story about how the men shapes attempted to use the spear to kill the creature but no man was successful and so they managed to trap it here.

Stalkerfufu unimpressed by the ominous stone door decides to explore more of the island. Experienced in the ways of discovery this was a simple task for him. Pushing further and further into the jungle along the way encountering many kinds of small creatures. Finally he comes to an opening and sees some other people. He begins to approach them when he notices their glasses, the ghoslty complexion, and their pocket protectors. Pointdextarians! A small patrol of 3 soldiers, one of them screams halt and then the 3 chase after Stalkerfufu. All your life you've been told that only a total pussy would show his back to a pointdextarian so Stalkerfufu holds his ground. With his newly discovered dagger he returns jab for slash, but dextarian steel is a formidable thing. At the end of the carnage 3 dead men lay at Stalkerfufu's feet and he has suffered a large but shallow cut across his chest.

Back at the camp...

BeckyD begins exploration just outside of camp. Using her aptitude for stealth she manages to go unnoticed by anything she encounters. Even Jackals and boars don't notice her. She begins studying the rocks around the edges of camp attempting to discovers some clues about the island. Though BeckyD doesn't find anything this turn she's sure if she continues she may find something.

Jeremy waking up from a dream begins work on a new project, he puts together plans for a bio magnetic power source and a machine that is a suit. Putting this plan into action will require preparation so he prepares his body by trying to focus his natural magnetic output. By the end of the day he can manipulate a small needle.

The Goop meets with the villagers and their leader. They recognize you as part of that party on the shore and greet you amiably. They seem to be in the middle of a ritual, behind them a a man in glasses and carrying a pen protector is tied to a sacrificial altar. Symbols of a squid-like entity surround the camp. A circle with a star drawn in the middle is drawn in blood over the poor sods chest. You blow up one of your Lizards in a display of power over your cultists and they seem mildly impressed. They point towards their sacrifice and continue in the ritual, he explodes into a horrid formless mass with many gnashing teeth and blinking eyes. A form too horrible to fully comprehend. But at the end of the day both groups have a mutual respect for each others dark gods and robe wearing cults. The Goop can stay there as much as he likes food and water is supplied and trading may occur.

At the end of the day your team ends with: a golden spear, 3 dead men, plans for a mechanical suit, alliance with the natives.

I would like to apologize again for not updating on time. Life has decided to get in my way for the last month of school. So I need to put aside my pretend life to focus on that. I'll be working very slowly on these updates for the next month so expect no deadlines. I think this will work out better for every one. At least I'll still be updating faster than VGcats.com.

The Axis of Glorious Retribution Day Four!

Team Axis is thankful for the quiet after the storm. The warm rays of the sun much appreciated over the howling winds of the terrible squall. Realizing that several of his teammates are in need Lightfufu wastes no time, and immediately begins problem solving.

Awakening inside the cave Stalkerfufu notices he is now completely alone, the native as left him and there is no trace of a trail. Tending to his wound Stalkerfufu successfully cleans and bandages it. The wound causes a slight amount of pain but at least he isn't injured anymore. Looking around the cave he notices that this cave isn't purely natural there is evidence that the cave walls have been worked. Using some of the embers from the fire the native left and sticks and underbrush stalkerfufu puts together a small torch and goes deeper into the cave. The deeper into the cave he goes the more the stone around him becomes worked, transforming into a hallway with imperfect 90 degree angles. Finally he reaches a arch way with two pillars carved out of the walls. A stone figurehead of a Lionphoenix carved at the top of the arch way is posed to look like it is jumping down on anyone who enters. Continuing past the archway the cave opens up into a large room with a 30 foot stone door at one end and a stone alter in the middle. All around him on the walls, ceiling and floor are pictographs of man shaped pictures worshiping the the Lionphoenix and as the pictures progress a giant bat like man creature is depicted destroying their village. The alter is stained blood but by the looks of it is very old and well preserved. In the alter is a ornamental dagger, carved with similar symbols as those around you. When you touch the blade your skin instantly frosts, it does no damage but if you had left it there it would have. There is one large symbol carved into the door and you get the distinct impression that it is a warning.

Lightfufu warms up with some katas then gives a rousing speech and heads out mounting a rescue search of stalkerfufu. Looking at the map he see's the symbol of the cave believing this to be the best place to start his search he heads south. Spending much of the day to reach the cave, Lightfufu arrives and notices the vestiges of a fire. Using his fire magic to create a torch Lightfufu heads into the cave and catches up with Stalkerfufu.

BeckyD overwhelmed by her sickness and injury spends her day laying on the ground, one of the Lizardshark cultists tends to her wounds with a "high as fuck healing salve". Suddenly she feels all better in fact not only that but manages to have a rousing conversation with one of the lizardsharks and a grasshopper. The grasshopper bounces away saying something about being late to a band practice and the lizardshark has to get back to his dark rites so that his bloodthristy god won't shred his soul and use his innards as play things. (BeckyD is now uninjured and unsickened).

The Goop takes to the jungle searching for more potent chemicals and exploring deeper into the jungle. With his small platoon of Lizardsharks he makes his way farther inland. Encountering but making quick work of Monkeyspiders and Montypythons. Chewing on the memory enhancing leaf he remembers his first day of "Defense against the Awesome arts" when his teacher saw potential in him and decided to reveal himself as a practitioner of the awesome arts and take The Goop under his wing. The Goop remembers his first spell "Fuckis Upis" a spell designed to totally fuck the enemy straight up. Towards the end of the day they come across a trail that when followed leads to a native village.

Jeremy spends the day innovating now that the forge is up and running. Jeremy creates nails and screws, bolts, saws, drills, hammers, and many other advanced tools. Now he is able to create all sorts of structures and objects. Also looking at the brown nuts that explode he comes up with a simple design for a non-lethal gun that fires the nuts. And creates one such item.

Your team ends the day with: -1 healing salve, advanced tools, frost dagger, pop nut gun.

The Axis of Glorious Retribution Day three!

As the day goes on the storm gets worse, the wind howls like an army of monkeys and the rain pours heavily even piercing through your huts but they still afford you protection. The trees bend and sway and lightening crackles from strikes all over the island. Team Axis is nearly confined to their huts but one brave soul leaves shelter to continue his tasks. Then abruptly when the sun is setting the storm passes and all is peaceful again.

Lightfufu stays inside and uses his proximity to the storm to learn how to be like one. He learns how to bend water in small ways pushing and pulling it as well as creating small tendrils that can pick up objects or create a small whip. He also develops the power to control the wind either commanding it to a standstill when its breezy or making a swift breeze.

Stalkerfufu The brave bastard he is ventures outside to what the rest of the team only assume can be certain doom. He struggles to keep good footing as he walks trying to pierce these wind determined to finish what he started a day ago. He manages to find a few of the rocks he desired but eventualy with a crack of lightening a tree splits open and large pieces of sharp wood splinter off and pierce his leg. knocked off his feet the wind lifts him up and throws him deep into the jungle. wounded and bruised Stalkerfufu struggles in vain to weather the storm in the jungle, but it's just then when a furry native walks by completely unfazed by the storm. Walking around just as happy as if it was sunny he notices Stalkerfufu and begins to help him. The native guides him to a nearby cave, and although they do not speak the same language the native coaxes him into a dance. It was a silly dance around a small fire and the native through something into the fire at the end of the dance. suddenly without warning the native pushed out of the cave. At first he flinched afraid of the rain and storm, but then realized that whatever the native had done the effects of the storm didn't affect him anymore. But his wounded leg still hindered him greatly and he didn't know the surrounding area that well so he spent the rest of the night at the cave.

The goop had his Lizardsharks gather up materials close by and then retreat to their stone crevices for shelter. Meanwhile in his hut The Goop began experimenting with various mixtures and while he was not yet able to create a potion that made you stronger or faster or smarter he was able to create a healing salve. This healing salve would he a wide variety of wounds and was easily package-able in seaweed and distributed to team mates. It also had the desired side-effect of getting you "high as fuck". (Game terms take 1/2 turn to make 1 salve. But when applying takes no part of your turn, but also gets you high. What that means you'll have to find out for yourself.) Goop was able to make 1 such item.

Jeremy went straight to work on the forge, putting the finishing touches and generally perfecting the design. With that done he was a bit bushed but wanted to start work on more tools. Realizing that his ability to create better tools was hinged on the use of the forge which would be nearly impossible during the storm, due to smoke inhalation, or having an opening in the roof which rain could poor through. So instead he experimented with the resources at hand and created a bit drill out of spare bits of metal and wood.

BeckyD went temporarily insane and thought it would be an awesome idea to go dancing in the rain. The rest of the team begins to suspect Island Madness may be setting in. She prances through the thunderstorm like it isn't affecting her at all but it clearly is. She dances through the jungle and discovers that she can't find a dancing partner and dances with a stick. She does this until the wind manages to throw a pretty hefty rock at her head wounding her. Finally done with her dancing spat she returns to her hut and falls asleep. She awakens the next day with purple spots all over her, and a nasty cough. She is now sickened and wounded.

-=Sickened condition=-
In the sickened condition different things may happen to you, of which you will discover in my post. You can take a whole turn and you will have a low chance that turn to be cured or you can take it easy. This tells me your turn is only 50% effective and you have a high chance to be cured. Some one tending you or giving you some sort of health related item might increase chances in both situations.

Your team ends the turn with: BeckyD(Wounded and sickened), Stalkerfufu(wounded), 1 High As Fuck Healing Salve, Finished Forge(high quality), Bit Drill

The Axis of Glorious Retribution Day two!

The wind of the approaching storm rips through camp and Lightfufu begins making preparations. The team hastily begins strengthening the structures.

Lightfufu with the help of his lantern is able to help with the huts, meditate on his fire magic, and learn some unarmed combat katas. Not only was Lightfufu able to learn how to fire off small but white hot fireballs, but he was also able to do it as he threw a punch. The Natives were saddened that they could not make a trade and a few even seemed angry. But after offering them a pile of lumber three of them leave behind one extra spear and happily take thier new pile of wood back into the jungle.

BeckyD helps out around camp and begins yet another day of grueling athletics training. During her acrobatic work out she perfects flips and handsprings even learning how to use her arms and legs to equal effectiveness. Through her rigorous training she has come to learn a great deal about her self. BeckyD has the greatest potential for stealth and subterfuge in her team.

The Goop during his confrontation with the Lizardshark king manages to convince all of the lizardsharks that he a a dark and powerful god that should be feared and worshiped. In awe of the display they cower in fear and begin bowing and some how all don purple cultist robes. They begin practicing dark rites and sacrificing half of there catches to The Goop. The Goop now has all the fish, gulls, and catlobsters he could ever want. and a fiercely loyal entourage of cultist lizardsharks.

Stalkerfufu after helping secure the camp for the storm continues to gather supplies. Heading deeper into the jungle he comes across various sizes of rocks and brings them back to camp each time and heads deeper and deeper with each trek back in. Eventualy he stumbles upon a building carved out of stone. the door is covered with debris from the cliff it is carved into and the fact that there are no trails means no one has been to this site in a very long time. Unable to do anything with the debris alone he heads back to camp to tell his team. Not long after he digs a small trench around the camp. After his gathering expedition Stalkerfufu learns a great deal about him self, learning that he is very average in all tasks but is the best gatherer in the team.

Jeremy works to secure his structure and transform it into an area for a forge. Getting about 2/3rds of the work done. (if you spend one half of a normal turn it will be done) Even though it is not done yet, you are proud of the work the work you've accomplished and beleive that the forge will be of top quality when done.

(Jeremy I couldn't quite understand if you posted your turn or not so I added this in for you in the future please make it more apparent what your turn entails. You can add a "my turn" braket or add more assurance to the post with words like "I do this" and "I will spend my action doing blah".)

Your team ended the turn with: 3 spears, secured huts, forge(almost done), Pack of cultist Lizardsharks, 1 pile of rocks, whereabouts for a abandoned temple.

The Axis of Glorious Retribution Day One!

Making good use of the fine weather The Axis gets to work. Lightfufu begins by barking orders to his guild mates. Gathering materials Lightfufu sets out to begin construction on several structures. With a little luck he manages to create four rope and lumber huts about 10 feet in diameter. After feeling content in his job well done he begins meditating on the four elements, the element of fire coming to mind most often. The immutable flame of creation burning bright from deep within. Lightfufu learns to focus his will and create a small flame. As well as produce a thin jet of flame from his hand. As he trained Lightfufu noticed that the light from his lantern gave him clarity of mind and made his time much more productive.

BeckyD strolls onto shore with a sunny and cheerful nature, after creating a small one person teepee she whistfully strolls into the forest looking for wood. She enters the jungle and begins to pick up large sticks when a Jackal, black as night and burning red eyes jumps out at her. The very next moment just before the Jackal strikes out at her a 10 foot tall Frogbear lashes out with his tongue wrapping the Jackal up and rebounding straight into his mouth. The Frogbear slothfully munches away at his meal and BeckyD makes her escape with a bundle of wood. Having just nearly been a meal she decides to loosen up and practice her acrobatics, slipping her feet past her head, perfecting cart wheels and handsprings.

The Goop crafts a makeshift Lizardshark disguise out of leaves and vines. With a little knowledge of the Sharklizards back home he begins to communicate. With a series of tailwags he tells a smaller one in the pack that he is here to meet the leader, or was it fight the leader? A large Lizardshark with a crown upon his brow makes him self known with a large bellow and charges The Goop. But The Goop dodges out of the way. He knows that Lizardsharks fight a non-lethal battle when fighting for leadership but injuries are still likely to occur. (you can spend another turn and fight him, or you can run and use your full turn for other things).

Jeremy gathers some materials to create some basic construction tools. First using a some rope, wood and a rock to create a hammer. Chiseling at another rock to create a dagger, and fashioning saw out of some metal found in the wreckage. With these tools gathering other resources and crafting will become easier.

Meanwhile George masters the art of gathering, while gathering more sticks in the the jungle George comes across a spear sticking in the ground. Curios he picks it up and notices some movement as something vanishes into the underbrush, the thing had left behind another object, picking it up George acquires a map of the island on this map several spots are marked. On the map the three spots are marked, the shape of a stick man a day north of camp, the shape of a cave a day south of camp, the shape of a building a day east of camp.

-=resources=-
At the end of the day your team ends up with more wood than it started with, two 10ft huts, and a teepee, a set of basic tools, a spear, and a map.

The Axis of Glorious Retribution Arrives!

Your team awakens on the beach to the sight of Lizardsharks basking on the hot rocks while the tide is out, some of them are munching away on seagulls they caught. You've always wanted a vacation on a tropical island but not on one where your on the menu.

Lightfufu remembers that his guild leader gave him two parting gifts a "Sockmonkey of justice" and "Azure lantern". He told you they had some sort of hidden power, but you had know idea what he was talking about. You look around the wreckage for them and manage to find the Lantern but not the sockmonkey.

The trees just off of the coast are varied, some of them are long skinny trees with some sort of red and round fruit at the top. Then there are other smaller trees that hold tough brown nuts. Every once in a while the wind will blow them down from the trees and hit the ground if they happen to fall onto a rock you notice that they emmit a large pop sound and a small burst of air.

-=things to note=-

a list of up to date team resources including structres will be posted under the team rosters.

Post your turns here, you can talk strategy all you want but please make it

clear when your posting your actual turn. Have fun and be creative!

The Axis of Glorious Retribution - Game Prep

Welcome to the Axis of Glorious Retribution. Your team leader is Lightfufu all this means is that he gets a special item at the start of the game. Whether or not you take orders from him is between him and you.

I'm not going to start just yet. This is mostly because I know there will be a few more people that might want to join and because I want you to at least say hey to your team mates. Also this gives you a chance to voice your opinion on the team leader, flag and team name. Over all I want the team leaders to make the decision but hopefully they will listen to your pleas. Also feel free to post any questions.

If there is a problem with team leaders I will handle it civilly and swiftly.
