But isn't that what bringing down a bolt of lightning would do?

Isn't reality "unwarping" just reality warping something to stop warping reality? If it forces things to become normal, wouldn't that make it abnormal in itself?

Can magic attacks damage the FAE? Because I will make Laura enter this scene if mundane attacks is what you want.

The woman is still channeling the barrage.

Wouldn't throwing a fireball at the FAE or F not be considered magic and still damage it, even if it were created by magic? I mean, fire itself doesn't warp reality, neither is it magic.

@Syme:So is a rookie wizard blasting a trained, experienced soldier into ash with a bolt of arcane magic with but a gesture. F forces magic users who have gone complacent with using magic to solve all of their problems with little planning involved to be clever and cunning with their use in order to fight F.

Using magic to subtly affect the weather and make stormclouds to strike F with lightning doesn't register as anything "unnatural" to the FAE. So it'll hurt him.

The two grenades smash into F's humanoid torso, failing to penetrate but heavily stuns him due to the concussive force of the explosives while the one aimed at his treads ends up blowing him back a couple of inches rather than rolling underneath since grenade launcher grenades explode on impact.

   Nnngghh...

The Bear Terminator shoots three more grenades, this time around F to obscure his field of vision using the explosions. After that the Bear Terminator heads towards Wizards Tow.

Oh, well, I'm getting Laura to enter this scene. Then I'll use the mysterious woman to finish him off once the FAE's damaged.

The woman suddenly vanishes, and an armored young woman walks out of the mists, wielding a Plasma Gun.

Rookie wizards can't use arcane magic, especially with simple gestures.

Riven stops, and blinks. The ground disappears underneath F, revealing a portal to nowhere.

F gets sucked into the portal... Only to reappear in the arena a few moments later via a different and clearly technology-derived dimensional portal.

   Teleport beacon. Internal. Lets me teleport anywhere I want so long as there's a clear signal. Too bad about how much power teleporting costs...   

F then punishes Riven for his insult with a storm of bazooka rockets and autocannon shells.

You're not the only one who can bullshit things, Danish.

He creates another portal in front, next to, over, and behind him, leading behind F.

Funny.

Laura then uses her Cloaking Device to refract the lights going towards her, making her invisible to the sight, along with her gun.

She then starts to sneak up towards F, planning to plant a remotely-activated bomb behind him.

Since Riven warped F away and he returned just when the grenades were going to explode, the vision obscuring plan failed. Bear Terminator reloads his grenade launcher while throwing his last to normal grenades from his jacket at F in order to distract him.

Due to F's powerful sensors, he detects Laura and without missing a beat; his torso whirls around and sprays a furious fusillade of Autocannon shells towards the saboteur and Riven coincidentally all while he decides to even the odds by calling in reinforcements.

   Squires! To me!   

A trio of dimensional portals appear right above F and zooming out of them are his robotic slaves, which then fire a literal blizzard of bullets and grenades at the mage.

The grenades explode all around F, but they don't do much other than throw off his aim a bit since he didn't really need to see in order to land a few hits on his targets.

Laura dodges most of the bullets, and thanks to her reinforced armor, blocks the rest of the attacks., rolling away from the area of effect.

In response, as she rolls away from combat, she hurls two Plasma Grenades towards F's back. Both grenades will deal significant damage to the robot, and potentially damage the FAE in the process.

What the heck did you do anyway?

The Plasma grenades only impact on F's front side, where they only cause moderate damage due to F's armor being treated with a special thermal stress-reducing coating.

I knew it was a bad idea to let you power-playing fucks know more about F's new toy.

I created a entrance portal in front of him, making the attack go through it, and the exit portal was right behind F. Essentially, it's using F's attack against him.

QUESTOR. THAT'S ENOUGH. STOP BEING A CONDESCENDING ASSHOLE, AND I ASSURE YOU ALL WILL BE WELL.

[up][up]So in your viewpoint, it's fair to make your character be so fucking immune to all magic attacks, but unfair for us to damage your little reality-warping toy? I'm sorry for being like this, but you're pissing me off.

Laura stops rolling, and starts shooting her Plasma Gun at F's head.

It shouldn't be known IC that the thing on F's back is what makes him invincible to magic. That's called metagaming. Rather, it should have been written that the thing on F's back is highly unusual and should have been tested to see if it is a potential weak spot and that your characters should not know that he is immune to magic. And yet your characters attacked the FAE from the get go, as if they already knew that that was the key to beating him even though they aren't supposed to be sure what it was.

F could be harmed by magic. Now, he cannot. He also now has a unusual device on his back.

Do the math.

Questor, stop acting like a goddamn child. It's not always you who should win, and you're ruining everyone's day in the Arena. And no, Laura hasn't have a single clue about what that device does, only that she knows what it looks like.

Laura stops shooting, and starts charging up her Plasma Gun.

Riven never saw F with that thing before and he was not attacked by magic even once during the encounter.

@Syme:That's funny, the same could be said for Ichigo and you some of the time.

Even so, a random, unprotected, machine on a robot's back is obviously a weak point.

Also, it's called surveillance.

[up][up]I only come in the Arena for the purpose of roleplaying, or enjoying my day, not to get pissed off by someone who thinks everyone's playing unfair when he is also playing unfair in the process. Believe me, in all the encounters I have had with you, Questor, you don't even get defeated. You always win.

Laura is still charging her gun.

But attacking it at once even though F doesn't seem too hard to destroy with Riven's vast magical power and through a way that "coincidentally" renders its defenses moot sounds like metagaming to me.

@Syme:That's because I feel like your characters will win far too easily if I played like the way I play with Tophat, Micool, Psyco, Anolis or Fractured.
