The Wood Automaton's Name Is Wood-2-D2 Because He Kind Of Looks Like R2-D2 Oddly, the Flame Strike doesn't go off.

In decades to come, Asst. Librarian Charles Lleudenski will write of the battle, that the High Priest, being mad, had lost status with his god. Enough status to prevent casting of 5th circle spells, which is good for the adventurers, not so good for him. His rage, however, co-opted Ares God of Hate to take over 1st-4th level spells, so H.P. Bart is good on those. In fact, he casts an Implore to bring in a Host of Ares, which amounts to a floating magical spear, right before Marivhon stuns him.

So much for the High Priest. You're now facing three automatons and a magic spear. However, you must choose. Take a few rounds to ensure that the stunned high priest is dead? Or fight off the magic weapons, and wait for HPB to come back on-line with more spells? "An interesting conundrum," writes the Asst. Librarian forty years hence.

Anyway, Zombie Chef fucks up the automaton and triggers the automaton defense mechanisms. They all turn on you Brogg, as leader of the main combatant. Bolt miss, reload. Scimitar... critical fumble. Buzzsaw, BBZZZZZZ you take 13 hp.  ¶ 12:34 AM
