He's A Real Gentleman Like That
Okay Cinder, the death knight sighs on your critical fumble, and draws his sword.
"
Fine," he says. "
Let's just do this, if you insist. Now that I think about it, I guess it is high time I took my revenge on you." He clears his throat and takes a more formal manner with you. "
Allow me to introduce myself," he says, taking a swing on your fumble and hitting you for 10 hp, "
I'm Lord Roderick Skullbones, servant of Orcus, and I expect to kill you all. You killed my wife and my horse, and you'll pay in flesh, blood, and pain."
Marivhon, you grab the wand, a long, ornate shard of bone, and point it at Lord Skullbones, gritting your teeth and shaking it a little. "
You really have no idea what you're doing, do you?" Skullbones says, giving you a quizzical look. He gently plucks it out of your hand. "
Best leave that up to the professionals. If you're ready to be fireballed, why don't you go stand over there with your friends? Else I'll just kill them, then Power Word: Kill you and make your heart explode. But the first way is cleaner."
Rodger the Ranger and Abercrombie leap into action! Abercrombie misses, but Rodger hits the death knight for 3 hp! "
You have to be kidding me," says Lord Skullbones incredulously. "
Who the hell is this guy? A dog? You're having a 10 gp guard dog attack a death knight? Is this the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons comedy hour or something?" Quietly to himself, Lord Skullbones still can't believe it: "
A guard dog attacking a death knight... That just ain't right."
Lord Skullbones politely waits for everyone else to post before taking his action.
