Wow. Mr. Vrill really smokes the choad.
You know, Greg, I've tried to be straight-up with you. Shit went down on both sides here - and maybe we were more egregious in our offenses against you - sure, killing your wife and daughter's pretty bad. And I'm not going to make the argument that you opened that door by killing Mike when he was defenseless in a cell, becuase - you know. Wife and daughter is a lot more than that.
But MAN do you smoke the choad at verse! That wasn't a rap, and it wasn't any kind of poem that I'm used to - the rhythm and meter sucked, your theme varied from painfully obvious to excruciatingly hidden, your metaphors (such as they were) blew donkey cock, and you've really raised the bar on pretention to a new level. Ummmm, good job on that last one, I suppose, but really:
"ripping his flavid toga and at dawn"?
I mean - dude. Words fail me as to the . . . to the . . . well, words fail me, 'cuz it's SO BAD. I'm just going to leave the line:
"because you took advantage of my disadvantage . . ."
Alone, because I'm embarassed for the language. Yes, somewhere the muse of language is hanging her head in shame, because you came along and CRAPPED IN HER MOUTH.
I might have been willing to let bygones be bygones, but what you said was so terrible that Now You Must Die.
Anyway. Save vs. fireball? 14, makes it. Drink a potion for 20. If Vrill didn't take fireball damage, he does now - Gloves of the Mime (dex check 3 - makes it) say fireball back at him, and if he can avoid fireball one, we can avoid fireball two.
Oh yum - 48 points of fire damage! I'm sure that as an 11th level alchemist you've got mad HP there, Dr. Vrill.
(He's got a PhD in Choad-smoking, I figure.)
But those are both free actions! Whatever shall I do next?
I would like to wait and see what happens after the fireball - dispensing cures or a dispel as needed. Rob, if you want to make a call on that to speed play, I'm fine with it - you know how the triage works. Dead? Nope - can't do nothin for you. Dropping? CLW and 2d8+5 potion, or split up if two people are dropping. Otherwise CLW on whoever needs it the most.
