And That Monkey's Name Is "Payback"
Okay, I'll just assume Dave is charging up with Brogg and the zombie twins.
Cinder, actually, because you failed that last save, the '77' is how many Con points you lose. You die. Your son dies. Your grandson dies. The line of Cinder is no more. The power of the lightning ball!
Just kidding, the 77% is a system shock check. You passed. From missing save three, though, you take 6 hp and flail around. It feels like you just stuck your tongue in an electrical socket. Fortunately, Ogre John grabs you, hefts you into the air, himself now surging with electricity! He rips the chain in two, freeing you from the horrible lightning torture. There's another BOOM and then everything is strangely silent for a second. That's just long enough for Brogg to yell as he hurls some flaming oil! Of course, it's not clear just what he's hurling it at, so I'll assume the control panel, which bursts into big flames!
Vrill yells "No... NO!" He's got some skillpoints in that by now. "You fools... what have you done?!" He turns in rage and points down to the lot of you, screaming at the Two Of The Jug. "See that?! I TOLD YOU SO. And now they've got an ogre, that's just great. Do something!" Rupert draws a crossbow as Sarah and Vrill ready spells.
Just before combat's about to begin in a flurry of initiative rolls, you hear more voices below! "We finally meet," you hear a young voice say. Looking down, just entering the room you see... some people you've never seen before. No, that's not true... you recognize the gnome clerk from the Potion Guild? WTF is he doing here? With the gnome is a young boy- the speaker- along with a middle-aged guy and two women, one of whom is wearing a black veil. The gnome yells "Oh my god... it's Master Vrill! You... you.. son of a bitch! I'll kill you all!" At first you're kind of confused, as you remember this gnome was a spellcaster, until you chopped his arm off, thus ending his involvement in that line of work. You have a hard time concealing your surprise and bemusement when he pulls back his cloak, revealing... a small monkey! In short purple robes. The gnome begins to chant a spell, while the monkey performs the somatic component!
The boy says to you "We won't let you get away with this. You've destroyed our lives. Now it's your turn. Payback's a bitch." He pulls out a slingshot and takes aim.
Initative.
