Chevaleresse Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 A memory - or perhaps a vision - bubbled to the surface of her mind, at the bidding of the strange sight before her. A sight of warriors laughing at their foes by dancing in the most improbable locations; atop a downed Hydra, in the midst of no man's land, balanced on a speeding hoverbike. Armed with this idea, Thunderlord jumps atop the tallest object nearby and performs the classic Guardian dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powder Miner Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Stretch finally landed in the spot he was making his moves in for the final time, finishing off that particular set of bouncy beats. But instead of just landing stationary, he did a slow, swooping backflip. landing upside down and standing on his hands (an easy task to do when he stretched them out somewhat to increase his standing area. "You like that? I've got a whole lot more funk in me! Keep paying attention for Stretch Armstrong's Diamond Dance Juice Bouncing Stretching Senssssation!" He flicked his legs out to the side, and began to turn them... and turn them... and turn them... his hips going backwards and then forwards in continuing 360 degree circles which would probably be rather disturbing to see for some but ended up with his whole body twisted into a coil. "Rubbery... Break Dance!" And with that, Stretch dropped onto his shoulders, his legs uncoiling and uncoiling and uncoiling into an extremely rapid upside down spin on his shoulders, his entire body spinning but his legs kicking outwards in a widening, increasingly rapid circle, the whole affair eventually reaching a blinding speed. A warbled sound emitted from the whole spectacle, which only careful listening would reveal to be Stretch shouting "Go! Go! Go! Go!" at himself, but distorted by his high-velocity spinning. Stretch charges and uses Rubber Gatling Gun, which normally would do 1d4+[SYN/2] damage four times, but which Stretch just uses to dance! Reveal hidden contents Life Stones (x3): Bright blue oval shapes that are actually kind of made of stone, but are soft and chewy and heal people when eaten! One of Stretch's favorite foods, of course. Heals 8 HP. Can be stacked up to 3 in a loadout slot. Wild Slingshot: Being as incredibly elastic as Stretch is does have mobility advantages as well -- by stretching out his arms to grab two objects and backing up, Stretch can begin to slingshot himself around at high speed, bouncing off of objects and the ground, whipping by enemies rapidly, turning him into a surprising blur of motion. Stretch gains 1 extra action and [DEX] init for 2 turns. Rubbery Gatling Gun: Stretch takes a few seconds swinging his arm in circles again and again and again and again to twist and coil it up, the elasticity then afterwards causing his arm to spin in the other direction rapidly, now with a little bit of extra force to it from his own efforts, for an extremely rapid-fire punch. Stretch takes uses an action to charge -- with the next action, he can attack an enemy with four attacks, which each do 1d4+[SYN/2] damage. This attack cannot kill. Bouncing Strike (Level 3): Stretch deals out a punch, kick, or headbutt, at the end of a stretched arm or leg or head, bouncy fellow that he is. If he's been punched or stabbed, however, the attack gets even stronger -- as the hit body part flies back and then elastically snaps back with a vengeance! Does 2d6+STR damage, 4d6+STR damage if Stretch was hit by a physical attack in the last turn. Level 2: Attack upgraded from 1d6+STR damage to 2d6+STR damage Level 3: Attack now deals 4d6+STR damage if Stretch was hit by a physical attack in the last turn. The Tubes: A set of tubes, ALSO bright blue. These stretch from a point at Stretch's chest to his arms and head, and conduct Magic Juice. They aren't actually tangible, parting and reforming when touched, but will disintegrate if not on Stretch. When this is equipped, active healing actions used by Stretch have an additional 2d4 effect when used on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
