I wonder what other secrets are on this board...


Could be just about anything. Seems that the shop isn't finished being programmed. Or...something. *shrugs* Meh.

Steak is formerly of Dark Lord and Dark Prince status...and turned away from that set path to seek out his own before becoming a King of the Night. He has still mantained a general strife for goodness, despite a rejection of legality. He has spent his life training in the mystical arts. As a direct result, he has gained some startling abilities.
The quickest way for Steak to advance his defenses and attack abilities is by transformation into a different creature. After each transformation, he gains much of the abilities and powers of that form. His three most recent transformations were, earlier, into "Fried Chicken," a female High Elven Warrior. From this form he gained a long string of immunities to status attacks, much speed, and his immunity to psychic and psionic attack. The next transformation was into the "Black Dog," a rottweiler able to transform into a Hellhound and then into a Black Hellhound. From this form his profit was substaintially larger: vitality jumped enormously, gained considerable elemental defenses (absorbs fire and unholy as healing; immune to holy, ice and water, resistant to all other elements), immunity to instant death attacks, and the gaze of a pyrolisk. About a year ago, Steak spent a short period as a dwarven warrior named "Oin Ironbreaker." The tie to the earth and the health of the dwarves improved his stamina again, and greatly amplified his physical attack and defense. He also became immune to Earth Elemental and the remaining status attacks he still had vulnerabilities to.
Steak's magic attack is off the scale, even more potent than before. From the varying transformations he's had, the raw force behind a simple Fire spell strikes people harder than an above average to strong Firaga blast. Comparatively...to him, a Superior (S) Magic Attack rating is like comparing an Superior rating to a Low (D) rating.
Similarly, the Dark Elf's magic defenses are equally powerful. This comes from most magics not being strong enough, and simply rolling off him like water from a duck's back. After being Oin Ironbreaker, his status defenses are now full imunity across the board.
After spending time away, after gaining the skills from being Oin Ironbreaker, Steak no longer uses a rod as his main weapon. These days it is a rapier. Also, his focus on attack and status/effect magic has left him with not too much to work with in the way of defensive spells, and all-but-nothing in healing.
Steak's attack palette is full. There has yet to be an attack spell that he's come across that he does not have memorized. For him, he tends to open with beneficial status spells. Firaga, etc., are his warm-ups. Unless things suddenly turn ill, he typically continues building up, using things like Flare, Holy, Shadow Flare, Nuke, etc., before using spells that, normally, come from summoned monsters...except he does not need to summon them to use the attack. From there comes spells like prismatic spray, meteor swarm, meteo, inferno, and the like. After that come his true guns...a lengthy list, but includes the upper-end of Bigby's hand spells, Ultima, Shadow Doom Blaze, variations on the prismatic spells, and things of that nature. When in a pinch, the Dark Lord will summon the tried and true prismatic sphere for defense (which he has been known to put around adversaries that agitate him). Any foe's prismatic wall or prismatic sphere spells are quickly met by Mordenkainen's Disjunction, and are disjoined. When either annoyed greatly, or needing to end things, the Dark Lord will spend at least three rounds charging up magical energy, and then strike with Ultima-ga, the highest form of an Ultima spell, and something that precious few others can handle without risking or being killed by casting it. Steak will be out of breath and slowed for several minutes after casting.

Out comes a figure in a dark blue full cloak, with hood raised. Who or whatever it was...it landed on its feet, back towards "Ghost," about 15 yards away. The figure stops for several seconds...looking about.

"Good grief...second time a wrong turn has led to an inescapable portal to some place else. Now to figure out how to get back...."

The figure continues looking about.

"...haven't seen many cemetaries this big. This will be trouble before I get done...."

The figure slowly turns. It stops when its torso is at a 45o angle towards "Ghost." The left eye moves in the socket towards "Ghost," holds a gaze for a second, and finishes turning. It is a male Drow Elf, a bit under six foot. His dark blue cloak, pinned just below the neck, goes down the center of his body, ending about six inches above the heel, and covers his body. The countenance suggests wary curiousity. There seems to be a flash behind his malachite green eyes.

"And you are...?"

"Itching for a scrap, eh? I wouldn't have thought combat was unavoidable, until you felt it necessary to challenge."

Hastega

The drow made no movement...no hint of a hand turning under the cloak or anything of the sort. He just stood there as the spell went, no change in facial expression, shifting of weight, or change in the cloak's hanging. The drow looks at the center of Ghost's chest, a slight blue tinge to his eyes. He says something barely audible....

"Free-willed undead...unique...un-turnable, that'll complicate things...."

His voice becomes clearer a few seconds later.

"What do you here, if you needed reacquainting with the physical?"

"Eh...?" *thwack* "Hey...!"

The Dark Elf's body didn't seem affected at all...except the irritated look on his face from the first pulse. As the second approached, he suddenly opens up the cloak, draws a rapier, and parries the shot. Underneath the cloak are the kind of clothes expected of royalty, all with a base of a dark blue or black.

"Interesting...never seen that before."

The drow regards Ghost curiously.

"You indeed are something unusual. Yet I don't sense the kind of malice typical of free-willed undead...rather, I sense...confusion?"

He shifts, so that only his right side points towards Ghost, his left hand in a fist on his hip, and the sword in front, held with palm up, and the tip at Ghost's eye level.

(OOC: remember...he is hastened...double-speed)

Fire
Slowga


Upon impact...Ghost can tell that most Firaga blasts don't hit quite that hard. As the second spell approaches....

"What is confusing you?"

"...Steak is what I am called."

He stands staight up, leaving his en guarde posture. Seems to comment to himself again....

"Fire immunity...not typcial of an undead...no chance of using a Pyrolisk Gaze then...that large a shield...can't do much against that with this."

He sheathes the rapier.

"Whatever purpose you may have been called for might or might not be the purpose you choose to pursue. What higher, or lower, entities do you have ties to?"

(OOC: one hastened, the other slowed...4x)

With a quick shake of his right arm and fingers, many fragments, or speckles, of blue fly from Steak's right palm.

"Good to get that out of the system...."

Steak grins.

"Test the shield, he wants. Very well then...."

Steak dashes towards Ghost. At about 10' away....

Force Hit (specialized spell...depending on one's defenses, it could great damage or precious litte, if any. Regardless...it knocks targets about)

Given the angle, Ghost is sent sliding along the ground, still poised as before, his feet tearing up the topsoil, and smashes through a few tombstones...moving about 70 yards in a couple of seconds, if even. Steak struggles to keep up, even with being hastened...and can't quite do it. As Ghost's sliding slows and stops, Steak leaps about 10 yards into the air...as he passes over Ghost....

Thundega

Steak lands 10 yards behind Ghost.

"More interesting...what did you do in life? That would have to play some part in your being called here, and now."

Steak flinches from the hit, but doesn't seem too tore up about it.

"You're not the only here who's immune to fire...though I do like this pike you're using."

The drow quickly draws the rapier, landing a drawcut across the inside of Ghost's weapon arm, following it up with sticking the same spot with the point of the sword, all in one motion.

"You should address this now...I know that I cannot afford to lose myself, or what knowledge I've acquired...it's part of what drives me in battle...knowing that if I fall, I cannot pass on what I have learned, that the things only I know will be lost."

Steak whirled back from Ghost, drawing out his sword. He stands about ten feet away, with his left hand foward, palm up, and holding his sword in scorpion stance. A pearly sphere the size of a shooter marble coelesques an inch above his left palm, and bursts.

Holy

"Dare you lose the chance to regain yourself? that which was lost?"

"Ah hell...one of these types...."

A translucent blue tetrahedon comes together above Steak's left hand as the drow takes a knee, staring at the floating pyramid. He sheathes the rapier.

"Ya' know, that form can't dodge everything...takes bigger things to hit, but it can't dodge everything...."

A second later, the tetrahedron flashes red.

"There you are..."

As he whirls towards Ghost, his right hand outstretched, in an opalescent glow....

"...and at that close of range...."

Prismatic Spray (as per the 7th Lvl Evocation spell from AD&D)

"...you can't dodge this in time."

"Yipe...!!"

Steak is struck...and rolls out of the way...hand aglow with a familiar opalescence....

Prismatic Wall (as per the 8th Lvl Evocation Spell from AD&D)

Steak examines himself briefly. His aggrivation is clear, even through a Prismatic Wall.

"Enough...should've done this sooner...."

His voice changes, as he leaps above the *very* tall wall...seeming to hang some as he descends at Ghost....

"Everlasting flame of blue...let the power hidden in my soul be called forth here from the infinite...."

Ra-Tilt (as per spell from the anime series The Slayers. Note this isn't fire-aligned)

The dark elf lands, blue semi-transparent spheres about the size of softballs enveloping his hands...a condensed magick power...clearly preparing his next volley, in case that wasn't enough.

Steak takes a hit...and another...and another...and loses his temper....

"You should've been destroyed...you are the only non-living thing, or creature tied to a different plane, that wasn't destroyed by a Ra-Tilt...."

The charge about his hands turns to a spheric charge about his person...clearly not in great shape...but also clearly ready to using the big guns, so to speak. The red tetrahedron still rotates about. The charge, it seems, has a bit of pull to it....

"Go ahead...I know you can't dodge the first...which'll force you back into corporeal form...and at this close of range..."

Solidify Spirit (nearby non-corporeal undead become corporeal briefly...that would include Ghost's "transparent" form)

"...it ends."

The glow about Steak turns...pearly...as Ghost returns to the physical, facing Steak's outstretched hand an inch from his face...the power seems to focus at that point. At the moment of Ghost becoming physical....

Judgement (as per the FFVII summoning of Alexander...except, the spell originating from Steak's hand).

The spherical aura begins turning opalescent....

OOC: ;;;;; Never...played it...??? I'm surprised...okay...I suppose I should explain most of these spell then.

Judgement - normally requires summoning Alexander. Casting it otherwise is much more costly in terms of MP. The spell targets multiple enemies, and pops them with a heavy barrier-piercing Holy-aligned attack.

Ra-Tilt - strongest Shaman spell from the anime series The Slayers. It is an attack from the Astral Plane (likely falls under what you describe as Spirit attacks), and from that it is incredibly effective against demons and undead...tends to destroy both on the spot. Does next-to-nothing to things still alive.

Prismatic Spray - from AD&D...7th Evocation. Creates a sizable wedge of intersecting light rays, the colours of the rainbow. There is no dodging this in the area of effect; non-corporeal undead, etc., are struck. Depending on what colour struck will change what happens...it is easily possible to be struck by multiple rays. Red...fire damage, 3 times that to kill a normal person (saving throw for half). Orange...acid damage, 7 times that to kill a normal person (save for half). Yellow...lightning damage, 12 times a normal person (save for half). Green...instant death, save for stark Constitution penalty. Blue...total irrecuperable insanity (save for negate). Indigo...petrification (save for negate). Violet...instant transport to another Plane of Existence (save for negate).

Prismatic Wall - from AD&D...8th Level Evocation. Creates a sizable wall, radiating the colours of the rainbow. Low-level creatures within 20 ft. are blinded for several minutes if they look at it. The caster can pass through the wall un-inhibited, as can things on his/her person...though any magic-based status (i.e., slow, haste, barrier, auto-life, etc.) are stripped off. Other objects get destroyed immediately. A magic disjoining spell (very rare...very high level magic...I only know of one from all I've come across) can bring down the wall instantly, as can a rod of cancelation (which will also destroy the rod), though anti-magic fields cannot penetrate it. Bringing down the wall otherwise must be done colour-by-colour, in consecutive order, by hitting the wall with the proper spell. A creature or whatever touching the wall (this includes non-corporeal undead, etc.) inflicts the effects of all the colours still active, just like taking the rays from a prismatic spray. Until the violet layer (the bottom-most layer) is down, no attack (save those that can strike gods) can pass through the wall in either direction. There is a specialized version of this spell at 9th Lvl., Abjuration/Evocation. NOTE: Steak never struck Ghost with this...just used it as a defense.

Steak stops for a moment, confused, watching the swipes pass through the tetrahedron that's been letting him detect Ghost's exact location.

"You're attacking a simple enchantment...with a physical weapon...? Normally people cast dispell magic, but...okay...."

Steak mostly got out of the way of the tombstone...his outfit a bit torn from the old granite. A flicker behind his eyes, and...

Levitate Other

"Playtime's over...!"

Ghost is lifted 15 ft. into the air. Steak jumps up to being on level with him as the opalescence solidifies at the peak.

Prismatic Sphere (9th Lvl Abjuration/Evocation spell from AD&D)

Ghosts sees all the colours of the rainbow swirling and dancing around him, finding himself almost as the exact center of a sphere with a 10-ft. radius. The light is glaring. Gravity pulls Steak back down, slipping through the sphere...his hastega enchantment finally stripped from him, and audibly crashlanding. Outside the sphere, Steak pushes himself up to all fours, breathing heavily, with the prismatic sphere a few feet above him. Solidify Spirit wears off.

"Try and...get your...self out...of that...."
