Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

*The tomb shears space within it, tearing at your body in opposite directions in short, jagged stripes*

@System

*Red beams of light flash from between the cracks, just before rubble itself atomizes in a flash, as I dust myself off*
You have no clue where you are, do you?
*The pink cloud surges and sends a massive jolt of modified lightning through your body*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

*After boring through the wall, they drill and activate an internal rune structure, causing an outward explosion of stones, sealing you in a makeshift tomb*

@System

*Energy spirals around chaotically from the damaged infrastructure, and after a moment, it condenses into a cloud of pink ionized gas that moves over your position*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

*The blast makes contact, knocking my head back with a jerk—I react by reaching for my utility belt and throwing a handful of metal shell-like spirals against the wall*

@System

*Cocks my arms back, still standing in the doorway, as steam bellows out into the hall behind me from my elbows*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Flings the corrosive energy from my body onto your hand in the recoil of the explosion, accompanied by blood rippling with magical blue light, and twists my fingers as if grasping a sphere*
In—

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

Vert!
*The larger webbing and the smaller webbing in my hand swap places, including the combatants touching each of them, timed such that Garsun is placed in the direct path of the beam again after it passes over him the first time, but Akora and myself narrowly evade it*

@System

*My mask flashes, sending a focused psionic blast directly at your head without me moving*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

*The rune detonates, blasting you with a torrent of destructive magic*

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Takes the opportunity to blast you several times in the face*

@System

*Does nothing more than hold up an arm to shield my head, and emerges from it still dashing. I slide to a stop at the door you entered from, but don’t make a mad dash to escape*
I didn’t expect the opportunity, but now I have to try. Nearly all possible problems in one room.
*Slams my wrists together, palms outward, and a loud, high pitched whirring comes to life from where I stand*
Thank you.
*Blasts everyone in an intense but widely spread beam, that spreads out rapidly from the origin point of my palms and sweeps the entire room, side to side and top to bottom*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*The netting ejects from the wall and binds around Akora without restricting her movement, but absorbs impacts on her behalf*
On your right.
*Unholsters my blaster with the flick of a switch and shoots past both of you, and rather than the combatant, the shot hits the wall near the red barrier, leaving a white-hot rune on contact that glows with more intense light with every passing moment*

@System

*Moves toward the unblocked door*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Narrows my gaze, the force visibly impacting a red barrier that only makes itself apparent on impact with the ranged attack, several feet from me*
I’m annoyed at all the interruptions to my goal here… But, so long as I walk away with a prize…
*The bayoneted half of my blade becomes enveloped in teal energy, effectively converting it from a broken rifle into a large battle axe made from raw power, which I turn and swing Akora’s way*

@Inimical

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

It appears that the hidden element you lack is that of surprise.
*Spreads my fingers on one hand, the webbing stretched from fingertip to palm, and plucks at one of the threads, unleashing crescents of invisible cutting force that bend around Akora*

@System

*Stands unfazed to the side of the room, out of range of the current action, and glances toward the door to the next section of the temple, which is sealed off by an opaque red barrier*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Launches forward, having kicked off the wall above the door and flies through the air toward the combatants*

@Valiance

*Turns my head toward you, nimbly sidestepping just as you approach in the neck of time*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

Wait!
*Pauses while trying to think of something*
At least give us a name?...

@Audacious

I don't know.

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

*Makes no effort to prevent it*

@Legend

*Leaves the tower*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

I have no further questions.

@Legend

Great.
*Walks toward the door, past you*
