Crazy Magics
Okay, first full round. Lots to see and do.
Brogg, you begin reading the Flame Strike scroll. Flame Strike is a full round spell, though, so it'll go off next round.
Dave, the kid with the slingshot yells, "I am Jacobo, son of Jacob. I am your doom." He slingshots you for... 20 double damage! You take 2 points from the stone, right in the face!
The gnome with monkey Magic Missiles you Brogg, yelling "And this is for my arm! You suck!" It's one missile for 3 hp. "Hell yeah!" he yells... "Vrill... you're next!"
Vrill yells back: "Appprentice Gerald... why are you doing this? Nice Magic Missile, but you should stay focused on those meddling PCs below! I am NOT your enemy!"
The gnome retorts: "I'm not your apprentice anymore, bitch." He and the monkey start dancing some more.
The priestess was about to Turn Undead, but instead recogs the spell you're doing Brogg, casting another spell and backing faaaarr away from Vrill and Rupert. Rupert, meanwhile pulls out a crossbow and shoots you, Dave, saying "We meet again, heretic. Taste a crossbow of God." Toink, 4 more hp.
Dave, potion drank, healing the damage you received this round, back to 14/22. Badger comes online. Please see sidebar in case you're wondering about badger stats. We'll put that 20, 17, and 5 right to work. The badger appears right in front of the gnome who yells "Oh shit! BADGER! Guys, badger! Right here!" The badger grabs the monkey with one paw, bites its head off, and throws the monkey's headless body at the gnome, who runs out of the room screaming.
A blue bolt of lightning strikes the middle-aged guy for 4, causing him to go cower in the corner. The veil-less woman also thinks about fleeing. The veiled woman, however, removes her veil, revealing...
...a skull!
She then says in a creepy voice:
Zelba is unhappy that you yet walk across these lands. Come with me to her demesne. Priests, cower in fear before The Old One.
All clerics, make a save vs spells. WI bonus applies. Dave, your next blogroll, 12, does the job. Brogg?
Cinder, you sneak off behind one of the giant pylons that connect the three or four scaffolding levels. You hear an enraged Vrill yell: "Now what? Where'd the human battery go? Shit." If you want, next round you can try to either get up to Vrill et al., or you can jump down to the undead priestess of Zelba.
Mike the zombie crossbows Lady Sarah, 4 hp.
Brogg, Flame Strike. Nice. A pillar of fire races down from the sky, engulfing Vrill, Rupert, and the control panel, which totally explodes! Vrill and Rupert scream, looking very hurt, but maybe a little less than you expected? Rupert says "The gloves are off. I shall slay each one of you painfully." He leaps over the railing and enters melee with you, Brogg and Dave. Lady Sarah rushes down to cure him, which she'll do next round. Brogg and Dave, you can't melee with them this round as they're moving. Vrill drinks a healing potion and prepares to cast. The boy drinks a potion, becoming immune to the attacks of the Badger, and slingshots you again Dave! Whiff. The priestess of Zelba also prepares to cast this round. Ogre John prepares to melee with Rupert.
Dave, you bring in the bobcat support. Where are the badger and bobcat going now? Cinder and Brogg, actions? HP check, Dave 14/22. Brogg, 11/14. Cinder, 10/16. You've got three casters, one melee guy, one 'archer'. Plus, everyone make a save vs. wands from the blue lightning ball! Brogg, don't forget your Zelba spell save.
Do it.
