Zilean's Revenge - OOC

Given that Zthulan's the healer and everyone took some bad stuff (especially Horizon), it's probably best that you did go first.

Where does the fridge (or knowledge of such) come from, Jerry?
Also, given what she knows of the monster (and can now see it fully), I expected her to be a bit more 'serious'.

And I think I can guess what the penguin picture is.

Ok, it looks like it's a Paladin's turn. I'll go ahead and take the first one, I guess. Kinda need to know what they can do though.

Paladin stuff, for reference:

Paladin Combat Stuffs:

They not doing stuff this turn, tho. Armor's good for protecting, but not for keeping your head not-ringing. And Bob/Stanley are only just arriving.

EDIT: Forgot to mention - the Paladins don't start with any pips, since they're NPCs.

Wrote a general thing for the water gun. Zarhon can take care of the specifics.

Now that you've used it, have some specifics:

Bob's Extinguisher:

Edit: I'm starting to think Jerry's being played as the adult, magic-immortal-elf-ranger version of Mabel Pines.

It be Horizon's paladin's turn.

Can't say why the freezer showed up. Things are crazy speed demons that love to slide everywhere to fulfill their penguin fantasies. None can know their minds. Fridge Logic, amirite?

Jeraylia's already had time to come to terms with the wrongness of the creature, after seeing it through the mirror and being plain worldly. Just because the mere existence of it fills her with righteous fury doesn't mean that she has to go over pg rating in front of the boys. What does matter is that she's there, it's there, and that she's going to make sure it won't be there much longer. And that just happens to involve a hearty helping of her natural gift of the art of song. The silliness could also be attributed to the combat talent's namesake of mocking melody, but I will be trying to make the next few verses a bit more lawful smitey serious. Expect a few Pelors, here and there.

Speaking of Pelor, Paladin assignments have gotten wack. I'm not sure whose on what anymore.

On terms of strat, maybe we should let the fire build a little, so it's dealing decent damage to the Monstrosity (as it does double damage to it, not to mention hitting its summons), but also manageable to heal on our end. Although, we only have 1 healer... Wish I picked up a heal talent D:
Wait, did we just extinguish the fire immediately?

Yeah, you kinda extinguished it. As far as paladins go, Horizon is controlling Paladin1, and unless anyone else want to have a shot at controlling their actions, I'm controlling the other three.

BTW, did Zthulan forget to have Koras act this turn?

Yeah he did, Derp.

Why does so much shit have to happen on Thnaksgiving.... 3 games go nuts with posts while I'm away all yesterday and nursing a hangover today.

Being European and not giving a damn about Thanksgivings/Black Friday helps, of course.

Just wondering if that shower of holy water did damage besides just extinguishing the fire, cos the description made it seem to not.

Yeah, forgot to add that. Basically, the holy water took away 25% of the Monstrosity's starting HP.

Was gonna post last night, but then realized I made a huge miscalculation in what all I could do on this turn. Go figure, getting blown up was actually a bad thing.

Anyway, I'll post soon with a much less impressive turn.

Double checking: would iron will come into play, since you're saying it's a stunlike effect?

Yes, but at your turn start only (none for turn end), and it's roll bonus doesn't stack with the ones from blessings. Or it's moot if it dies before the turn.

Good thing noone gave me a blessing, then :p .
Also, Azarune, you forgot Korea's turn again (I think?)

... Thank you for reminding me. SHAMMMMMEEEE

Horizon-controlled paladin turn up, in case you've forgot.

Also, i just remembered Rolf picked up a bunch of potions, maybe they'd be worth using?

---

3x [0] Simple Healing Potion - Minor Utility - Consumable
Regain 1d6+2 hp. When using this item, you may additionally spend a standard action to gain 2 pips.

1x [0] Dwarven 'Healing Potion' - Minor Utility
Regain 1d8+4 hp, and then gain "Internal Dispute" (save ends). Whilst affected by "Internal Dispute", you are dazed. When you save against "internal dispute", you then suffer "weakness" until the end of your next round. When using this item, you may additionally spend a standard action to gain +5 damage on your next damaging ability.

Potion of Heroism - Minor Utility - Consumable
Gain 1d12+5 temporary hp, +10 damage to your next attack, and you may remove a save ends condition currently afflicting you.

Stoutbottom's Vim Potion  - Minor Utility - Consumable
For the rest of the encounter, each time you damage an enemy with an ability, you gain +1d2 extra damage to your attacks. This effect stacks with itself, up to 15.

Might as well pop the Stoutbottom's if you have a minor free, and start ramping it up.

Ah, someone finally remembered the potions! How swell.

On a potion-unrelated note: It's rounds like these that I, as a DM, get to decide between working off pure rigid mechanics alone, or fudging the rules to have PCs flavor stuff or circumstance have combat significance, whether for good or bad.

So, yes/no on my shoving the aberrant?

Broken Logic wrote:So, yes/no on my shoving the aberrant?

Well normally I'd say yes, but the damage you did that turn was too low to really justify it (and you didn't kill it either)... Feel free to try (with an actual roll) on your next turn, though.

Waiting on Horizon, I believe.

Of course it is. Can I get the turn order again, I keep forgetting when my turn is.

Zthulan
Rolf
Jeraylia
Pala1 (Horizon-controlled)
Pala2 (Siph)
Horizon <- Now
Pala3
Pala4 (Stanley)
MONSTROSITY
2x Abberant Fleshpiles, 1x Skelly Dog, anything else that might get summoned
Zilean

Ok, my post is ready, BUT: Is either Zilean or the abomination suffering from a save ends?

I don't think so - so far Monstrosity had a 'blessing' put on it, but that's not save ends (and was used up on its turn), and the mocking melody which was saved against.
