Xel's Monster Mash

Because the fight with Team Chaos + Robot has finally ended. I'm going to revial the stats I had given the monsters they fought also showing off what they would've had at full heath.

strange and complex I like them.

Here's what the rest of the first combat fought, only they fought them all at bloodied, cause I was dumb at thinking that was the needed HP for a good fight. XD

Spark Robotic Beehive - 30 (Racial-Templated: Robot) (Hive)
Trait - Spark Hive Goes first unless bloodied, then it goes last in the enemy turn order, and everything else moves up one...

[-X] Robo-Swarm! - Immediate Reaction
Trigger - Hive is dealt damage or is Killed
For this combat talent, X equals the number of pips spent on this attack. If the Hive has been Killed, destroy as many Bees as needed until the Bee Number is equal to the Bees' pip count. Roll Xd8+X damage for all enemies and each roll of a 5 or higher equals one dead Bee. The number of bees that die post attack must be form 2 to X-1... (Meaning you can't use this attack with only one Bee, unless a Hive was Killed of course.) Unless the Hive was KOed, then all bees are dead at the end of this attack and this attack ends with also giving one random Ally 1d4 pips.

Heh, so how long did that battle take? Took me forever to playtest

They fought the Smooze Blob, they won at the end of round 6. XD

thanks to Judo Throw and Royal Command... They were used SO MUCH in the fight, so much it's not even funny.

Yeah every fight against the Smooze blob, I managed to pull out 4 fire giants by the end

They didn't think to pull that off, oddly enough.

I'm the only one who took Summon Fire Giant into battle and Royal Command looked more effective.

Also, does (5 Turns) mean we only have to fight the Beekeeper for 5 turns before the Smooze would attack?

No the Five Turns thing was more a comment that the Beekeeper moves FIVE TIMES per round.

See the neat combo I came up with when using your characters was getting the robo-pony to use daredevils rush on his first turn for 10 pips, then summon a fire giant on his next turn using his channeling talent. But with 6 characters, there are a lot of different combos you guys can do. Good job beating that Smooze, though I think the Bee Keeper was more dangerous by a bit

I'll find something to make them face a Beekeeper... Cause I want them to face one so much right now.

Alright then I'll pitch the idea of challenging it to battle to the others once everything's calmed down.
