The man grunted in surprise as he was run through. He inhaled, pulling in withergeists, but Conflict glowed in the wound, preventing it from healing.

"Well, you wouldn't want your enemies getting reanimated, would you?"

Bacon quickly checked on the man Cricket had been fighting to make sure he was still dead.

Should he come back?

And I don't know about that, Ennulling can block pretty much anything.

The woman was slammed backwards through the air.

Pyk sliced at the woman with his katana. 

oh also this suit doesn't use Nullite

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

"You're joking." She made the armor thicker, then impossible slippery so she fell to the floor.

The pale man ran his sword through the armor where Tam had been just moments before.

"Just stay still and die," he growled, trying to step on her to keep her in place.

"The void. Huh. An interesting belief. Interesting. Is a fascinating word. Fascination. Is that a feeling. Is it subjective. Questions. These are useless are they not? Becuase if you ask questions but die in the end. Then was it worth it? Or should everyone just not exist?” Asher continued ranting. was Asher, Asher? Or were they just absent? Ashers eyes became duller. “Huh. You’ve not been very helpful.” Someone. Someone snap them out! Ashers mind screamed. Hoping that someone could hear. No one can hear thoughts. “I hoped you’d give some good advice huh? But alas. You’re just a guard. A useless normal human.” Asher slashed a gap in the guards arm. “No one has answers. Do they. Only someone who has been through what you have would,” The wound dripped with black smoke “has anyone died? Like i have? In many ways i have died. In what way am i alive?” Asher cut the guard again. The other one had the black smoke dripping along with the blood as the first one did. Asher! Ashers mind scream at them trying to snap them out ASHER WAKE UP! 

The man smiled creepily. "Ah, but I have died. I can show you death, if you wish."

The voice of a withergeist began to whisper in Asher's mind, pushing to be let in.

The woman clawed at the sword, trying to rip it from Pyk's hands.

No I posted it here in reply to Glass. Lemme see if I can find it. Also, what happened with the fight btwn Pyk and the woman?

 

I couldn't find it.

 

Um, I stopped paying attention after my dragon died.

"He's dead." Cricket said wearily. "Trust me." He remembered those last moments with awful clarity, running his sword through the man's throat again and again.

Nah, I have other ideas for Cricket's nemesis, maybe later, but it would be a while. 

Ummmm, I was kind of thinking it of the material that makes up the essence of a being, so it's above Enulling, but I'm fine with changing that.

I believe that to be Nullite

It was a sword of light. Her hands passed through it and were significantly burnt.

Pyk shrugged, then insubstantiated the woman and pushed her into the ground, and resubstantiated her.

LOL

Xino, she's still in the armor; it's the outside of the armor that's slippery-

Y'know what, nevermind. Don't worry 'bout it. 

She made herself slippery, working her way through the vines until she was right next to the pale man. She Narrated another sword into being and swung, intending to take off his head.

Shoe ran across the space, unfortunately in full view of everyone else, and began helping Asher fight the guards.

@xinoehp512

Up to you what this does.

Basically, the insubstantiation just cancels every force outside of the system, so things like normal force dont push back on the atoms and they can overlap.

Shoe's running across the space, btw

His soul would look a little darker than normal

The thing is, the vines were wrapped all the way around the armor in knots- even if the armor was slippery, it would have to pass through the vines in order to slip free.

The pale man lunged at Tam, heedless of his own safety, putting all of his will into piercing her with his sword.

The woman tried to scream, but her lungs were full of solid matter.

After a few moments, her body burned to black, a withergeist rising from the corpse.

"My Enulling stopped his healing." said Cricket. "It should prevent him from returning. Your castle? Yeah, let's go." Cricket said, turning away, but pocketing a handful of Soul Matter.

Pyk took what was left of her body to his lab to study, leaving the spirit behind. He returned to the battle. Maybe Tenth needed his help.

Good point!

Tam swung her sword through the man's neck.

What's his sword made of, again?

Nogard wavered. "I... never meant for anyone to die..."

"Regardless, they're dead! Killed by those you called friends! We can end this witho-" Valiant's words trailed off and became inaudible as Nogard was carried off by TP.

2 hours ago, xinoehp512 said:

[That stings,] TP complained.

He dove down, attempting to scoop up Nogard from where he stood, then began to accelerate away. The rest of the party would have to fend for themselves.

The General accelerated as well, continuing to close the distance between her and TP.

1 hour ago, Immortal Platypus said:

Platypus heard the Valiant One. Remarkably, he did trust him. He had respect for the General. The Brave Adventurer's claims surrounding the Blade were accurate, but there was more to the story. The rest of the Council deserved to know the truth.

Instead of attacking the Silent Hero, Platypus quickly wrote a speech and Created a megaphone. It didn't actually do anything, but would hopefully avoid breaking the mind of the one who Onyx wouldn't let know the nature of the world.

"Silent Hero. Valiant One. General," he called, voice clear over the sounds of combat. "Some of what the information the Brave Adventurer told you is true. But there is more to the story, information that he might not have known, or that he intentionally omitted. I would ask that you put the conflict on hold while I explain this."

"TP. Selppaenip. Nogard. Subversion. Everyone else who is fighting. Hold your fight. This is the Council of the Brave Adventurers. The Valiant One is perhaps the most honorable person currently living in the world. The Silent Hero, the antithesis of herodom. The General, an elite fighter who has fought for what is right. They do not want the world to be destroyed."

He raised his voice. "I have seen what happens if only one Blade is claimed. And I have a plan to stop that. But it will require all of you to work together. Please, everyone stop fighting while this gets explained. We don't want any more innocents to die."

The red rabbits who had been stalking the Silent Hero noticed Platypus, then froze, crimson eyes locked on his face. [He is the tastiest one. He is... he is Light. we must eat him. Eat the Light. Consume the Light. Destroy the Light.] Their eyes became pitch black pits of pure darkness. They moved towards Platypus as one, and a faint dark mist began to rise around them.

2 hours ago, xinoehp512 said:

"What's waking up?" asked Selppaenip urgently.

"The rabbits. They're breaking free. Corrupting the spells I placed upon them." The Great Wizard's eyes focused. "What did you fools feed them? Their suppression should not have needed renewal for another month!" Strain etched his expression suddenly, and a wave of light shot out from him.

The red rabbits froze as the light hit them. The darkness in their eyes faded, and they slumped into unconsciousness.

Back on TP's back, the Great Wizard relaxed, as much as he could while still completely immobilized by the bonds he'd been tied in. "I have suppressed them for the moment. I'll have to completely redo the protections later to be safe, but I acted in time to prevent them from breaking from my control." A moment later, all the tension was back. "Where are the rest of them?"

--

The Valiant One glared at Platypus. "We're trying to end this! We just want the Great Wizard in custody before he can claim the Blades for himself!"

2 hours ago, Immortal Platypus said:

  Hacob laughed uproariously as waves of energy pulsed from him, slamming the rabbits away, though he was careful not to kill any. [I told you I would give you the tasty thing if you helped me, but you chose not to. This is your reward!]

The rabbits were knocked backwards, but then something strange happened. Instead of dissipating, the energy swirled around the invisible rabbits, darkening and flowing into them. [This is tasty! Give us more!] Stronger and larger than before, the rabbits attacked once again.

2 hours ago, xinoehp512 said:

Not... exactly. We have heard that these two new Plotblades pose an existential threat to the Thread. As custodians of the Thread's welfare, we feel we ought to be made aware of the precise nature of these mysterious artifacts.

"Ah." Omen's smoky form briefly coalesced into a half-decayed corpse in ruined clothing, then broke apart into indistinct shapes that looked like screaming faces. "If you wish only information, I can still bring you to the Dreamsmith. It will be slightly more dangerous for you, as you will not have the benefit of the protections woven into the forge, but you are far from powerless, and I do not believe the Dreamsmith is anywhere very dangerous at the moment." A grey hand emerged from the smoke. "Do you wish to proceed?"

Shoe ran across the space, unfortunately in full view of everyone else, and began helping Asher fight the guards.

Asher continued their strange rant. 2 guard lay dead wound leaking black smoke. "Dying. Death. Satisfaction. Yes yes. Death. When you die. You are usless. In life and death nothing matters. But wining." Asher said absently. Their eyes were almost black at this point. Black mist swarmed them. Asher paused staring into the black blade. Seeing shoes reflection. "A worthy opponent. Someone who can fight." Asher stabbed a guard through the heart. Ashers voice was concerning. Why were they speaking like that. Why were their eyes black, normal glow turned black. Asher started walking to shoe. Blade at their side. Their face was emotionless. Snap out ash! Snap out! Before you hurt someone you dont want to! resistance is useless, mind. their mind screamed

"fear. Ah yes. Fear. I felt that onthat many moons ago. Many many moons ago. Then I stopped feeling. Feeling are usless. They hold you back. Or so I think. One cannot kill if they feel. For they will feel guilt. The pain. The screams." Asher continued forward. They seemed dead. As if a walking corpse. Head tilted to the side. Arms hanging down. "Shoe, is it? You and asher never got proper introductions. Just jumped into everything. Head first." Asher stopped a few feet away. The black smoke crept along the ground towards shoes feet.

"My Enulling stopped his healing." said Cricket. "It should prevent him from returning. Your castle? Yeah, let's go." Cricket said, turning away, but pocketing a handful of Soul Matter.

Italics is emphasis. Without quotation marks, it's thoughts. With quotation marks, it emphasizes a certain way of speaking.
