C'mon, aren't you curious?

[Zhym]

Hey all: ragsnboneshopper just let me know that he has to drop out of the game because of real life issues. I'll run the character as an NPC for now, but if there's anything really stupid you wanted to try but didn't want to risk your own character for, now's the opportunity.

[saalaria]

Ha ha - send him everywhere, picking up everything...except maybe that orange jewell!

[saalaria]

We're here for the skull aren't we? Assuming this really is the actual real tomb, any reason not to just grab the skull and run? Or send an Unseen Servant to grab it whilst we stay outside the room? Do we even have any left?

[Mondego]

Yes. We were sent to retrieve the skull.

Don't think we have any unseen servants left, but I wouldn't take my word as gospel. Let one of the MUs chime in.

[saalaria]

I'm expecting of course the room just to be one massive trap!

I could use True Seeing which may help ...or not!

[Zhym]

Yup, you're out of Unseen Servants.

FWIW, I try to keep track of prepared and used spells here:

[tkrexx]

Urdak will keep that thing's attention while someone grabs the skull, then let's get out ta here!

[Stirling]

McClou has another unseen servant 'Penfold mk V' if needed...

[Zhym]

Also, note that McCloud is at -5 HP. He'll lose 1 HP per round until he hits -10, at which point he'd be dead. So there's still time to save him, if people aren't too busy trying to save themselves.

[Stirling]

sorry lost thread didn't Quinn cast CLW on McCloud what's his status now..


McCloud conscious or unconscious is going through some gripping nightmare, the hair-raising shock of being frazzled by some ricochet bolt has left him in a world of Erodhan toying with his head like a puppet telling him he's going to put his hand inside and make his jaw waggle, pictures of Bindle swigging flasks of finest malt surrounded by a trio of couched grape squaffing virgins whilst McCloud gets to look but not taste, Skiiratch's cat gnawing his bones and playing a tune on his ribs, glistening gems on his fingertips blowing up at the slightest touch and a mummy wrapping him up for burial, all the while some green griining face is swallowing him whole into pitch blackness and illusionary cave-ins....

[saalaria]

I like it Stir!

Zhym flamestrike would hit urdak too wouldn't it? If so Skarlos will cast Bless instead

I see you healed McCloud by Skarlos - was that through a CSW?

[tkrexx]

Dude, throw that flame strike! Urdak's got enough hp to make up for his lack of INT points!

[Zhym]

Yes, that was through a CSW. And a flame strike would be likely to hit Urdak because he's in melee.

[saalaria]

Dude, throw that flame strike! Urdak's got enough hp to make up for his lack of INT points!

Okey dokey - as you confirmed....

[Zhym]

OOC: Has the thing actually attacked anyone yet, or is it just standing there?

It attempted a physical attack in the first round. It tried to cast spells after that, but you've done well enough in initiative that his spells have been interrupted.

IOW, the thing has attacked but not done any damage yet. Your wounds have all been self-inflicted.

[Mondego]

Yup.

[Mondego]

Why don't we retreat into the hallway and see if it follows? Might be tied to just this room?

[tkrexx]

You're asking Urdak to think. An unlikely prospect at the moment.

[saalaria]

That could be a good idea. Just need to check the action thread...
