  1. Nerdy suddenly appeared right behind Platypus and stabbed him in the back. "You almost made that too easy." Nerdy smiled and pulled the sword out. "Shame that won't kill you, but, well, you are immortal. I suppose that it will leave you with a nice scar, though." Nerdy teleported away.
  2. Can we stop with the D&D metaphor? It's getting a bit over the top... Nerdy laughed again. "Really, Platypus, I would have thought that you'd be smarter than that. Trying to stop a Narrator from using abilities, especially ones powered by Blades of Plot? Oh, that can work, I'll give you that, but not if the narrator is distracted by, say, reversing time. I regained my ability to teleport a few seconds after I summoned that sandworm. It's pretty sad that you didn't notice, actually." Nerdy parried Vengance with Drama. "You've always seen things and expected them to work out, Platypus. You've never actually had to confront your own illusions." Nerdy's Plotblade morphed into a shield to block Platypus's counterattack. "You've always assumed that you have the upper hand. Like how you were so confident in the power of your Plotblade, you failed to realize that it could be taken from you." Nerdy's blade transformed back into its true form. Nerdy swung the Blade of Drama, knocking the Blade of Vengance out of Platypus's hand. "This is my fight, Platypus. I brought you here for amusement, and you've been foolish to think that you could defeat me. But that's your whole thing, isn't it? You've always been too foolish to dispel your illusions." Nerdy puffed away and reappeared in the sky. A slash with their Plotblade summoned another swarm of spectral throwing stars, and a slash of their other hand sent them flying at Platypus.
  3. MeSaan did the insectoid equivalent of raising an eyebrow. "Why do we have to make our grand escape now? After all, they're taking us where we need to go."
  4. Prepared action: cast Dimension Door as soon as things go south. Nerdy laughed, then teleported away in a puff of rainbow smoke. "Keep focus on your Narrating, Platypus. Don't let distractions get the better of you. And really. Time travel shenanigans? Do you know how hard those are to Narrate in a logical manner?" Nerdy slashed the Blade of Drama two times, summoning a swarm of spectral throwing stars. "If you want for this to get up close and personal, I suppose I can manage that." Nerdy flew at platypus, surrounded by the spectral weapons.
  5. @Lego Mistborn? Where art thou? If you don't respond soon, someone else will have to take your spot!
  6. Nerdy nonchalantly fell towards the mouth of the sandworm. "Alright, three things." Nerdy threw a shuriken at Platypus. "First, I don't knock success. Subversion beat you, and you haven't scored a hit yet, have you?' Nerdy threw a second shuriken. "Second, I have a 50 foot flying speed as a racial trait." Nerdy, being, well, an Aarakocra, flew out of the sandworm's grasp. "Third, Dominate Monster." The sandworm slowly turned to look at Platypus and lunged. @Being of Cacophony
  7. The blade passes through where Nerdy appears to be standing. Seven duplicates of Nerdy appear out of yellow, white, purple, and black smoke. Nerdy's voice seems to emanate from the whole arena. "Excellent. I see that you're learning. But good luck getting out of this!" The duplicate Nerdies all stab their swords into the ground. For a second, nothing happens. A spotlight appears, and then the sand of the arena begins to churn. Nerdy, riding on the back of a sandworm, bursts out of the ground. "Don't assume you know what I understand, Narrator. You may be immortal, but you're new to this game." @Being of Cacophony
  8. Nerdy held their blade in a reverse grip. "Tut tut. All of that training and you make the same mistake as you did with Subversion. Oh, and, Platypus? Even if she notices our duel, Subversion won't think anything of it. My spells work in subtle ways." As Platypus rushed, Nerdy vanished in a puff of rainbow smoke, and appeared behind Platypus, swinging for his head. NKG, or Nightmare King Grimm, is a boss in the game Hollow Knight. He has really epic music and I was imagining our duel to be sort of like the NKG fight.
  9. "Yay, cheery accordion musi- oh wait it's a boss fight."
  10. Nerdy appeared behind Platypus. "Oh, you fool. You poor, poor, innocent fool. Plot (Both personified and non-personified) has always needed Drama. And when the villain absconds with the macguffin? That's when we need drama the most. That's when my blade is at its highest power." The blade started glowing with rainbow light. "But if you insist, we can have a duel before I vanish with my Blade. Here, let me make this a little more... dramatic." Nerdy snapped their fingers. Both of them appeared in a large arena. "Now, I'd love to have Subversion come here as well. But I don't feel like doing the whole mind-wipe again. So it'll have to be just us for now." Nerdy grinned. "En Garde!" EDIT: Is it wrong that I imagine this like the NKG fight?
  11. As the spell takes hold, a voice whispers from the shadows. "I think you got ninja'd. Big time."
  12. Nerdy's smile grew as an elegant sword materialized in their hand. "Yes. Don't try to rules-lawyer with me, Narrator." Nerdy smiled, feeling the weight of the sword in their palm. "Do you know what this is, Platypus? I don't do anything without a reason. Now, granted, that reason is usually frivolous, but anyway. You should recognize this. It's a Blade of Plot. While you were distracted by your WIS save, my minions have completed my goal. This is the Blade of Drama." The spell began to take hold of Nameless and Platypus. "Sleep now, Narrators. You will not remember this." Nerdy vanished in a puff of rainbow-colored smoke.
  13. "Do not mock the Peony Empire, Platypus. Soon you will cower in fear against the might of our subtle enchantments." Nerdy smiled. "It's nice to finally have a empire working for me."
  14. Meanwhile, the Peony Empire was busy bringing their plans closer to fruition.
  15. This caused much chaos among the ranks of the Tomato Menace.
  16. They had a hard convincing the Daffodils to get in the cannons, though.
  17. The Peony Empire was also conducting operations against the Tomato Menace.
  18. But the Daffodils didn't know that they were being manipulated by the strange mind-magics of the Peony Empire.
  19. The tricks were actually all part of Eof's master plan.
  20. Wait, when was the doorknob? Also, I think that it's mentioned that Shallan had tried soulcasting Lavis grain during the Shadesmar journey in RoW.
  21. Yeah, and I agree. She did soulcast oil a lot during the Battle of Theylan Field, tho. I wonder what Shallan's affinities are. The first thing that she soulcast was blood, so that might be one.
