Once everyone agrees to give of themselves, and to what degree, Giggyfez appears absolutely joyous of your decision.

"This is going to be so great! I hoped you wouldn't hesitate."

He looks to Wes first, adjusting the dials on his strange metal hat that looks more like a colander of some kind.

"Put this one and brace yourself, some people regret giving up health."

He pops the metal bowl onto the head of the Initiate and hits a button on the side before Wes starts to convulse violently. His face turns beet red and he starts to drool a foamy white substance from his mouth. By the look on his face, the pain he is currently dealing with could only be described as......exquisit.

Giggyfez doesn't seem too concerned about any of it, looking to Tlachtga as the next victim, er, contributor. "Ready Freddy?"

[Karaunios]

No action from Elnaerel ither than watching in fear but staying firm in her decision.

[Rex]

Tlachtga

"Ready."

[gurusql]

Holmfrid

"Also ready."

[Monsieur Rose]

The Princess

She watches with fascination and horror as a glimpse of her future appears in front of her. Only her fear of losing memories or mental acuity prevents her from changing her mind.

"Maybe I don't need to speak dwarven..."

[kruk]

Lerrick

The cleric nods her head to the stranger. I am ready


Tzarkori

The fighter stands rigid Let's get this over with.

[OGRE MAGE]

Stand by here gang!

Just tidying up a bit in the privates.

Wow, that sounds bad, doesn't it.

[Monsieur Rose]

Not at all. I respect a DM with tidy privates.

The still glowing Giggyfez seems to get more excited with each "fee" he collects, smirking from ear to ear as the silver "bowl" is passed from one person to the next.

"All these donations seem heaven sent, I thought I'd get more argument."

Wes feels slightly weaker from his harrowing ordeal, but otherwise suffers no worse ill effect than simple discomfort and oddness. -3 permanant hit points

Tlachtga and Elnaerel experience much the same, but the pain they feel is slightly less intense. -2 hit points each

Princess gets by the easiest, almost barely noticing the slight discomfort of her minor ordeal. -1 hit point

Holfrid, Tzakori, and Lerrick all decide to give away intellect, making their experience feel more like having their brains scrambled slightly inside their skulls. Though not unbearably painful to endure, the sensation is still unpleasant to say the least. -1 point of Intelligence

Please adjust your sheets accordingly if you haven't already done so.

When the last person has finally donated, Giggyfez claps his hands together joyfully.

"Since you all did just as I told ya, this should really help bring up my coda."

He shoves the weird device back into his pack and hands over both the blue and the yellow Activation Spheres as he starts to fade from view again, slowly disappearing before your eyes.

"If you need me again just do what I sez and shout out the name GIGGYFEZ!"

Actions?

Lerrick: (C5) AC:5 27/28 2/5 first 5/5 second 2/2 third (Light Stone)
Tlachtga (D5) AC:7 23/33 5/6 first 3/5 second 1/3 third (Light Stone)
Princess AC:6 HP 4/4
Elnaerel (C5) AC:3 35/35 2/5 first 5/5 second 2/2 third
Waesfaren (D6) AC:7 39/50 5/6 first 2/5 second 1/3 third 0/1 fourth FF:9
Holmfrid (F4) AC:3 46/46

[Rex]

Tlachtga

"That was unpleasant."

She gives Giggyfez the evil eye as he jumps around.

[gurusql]

Holmfrid

"Agreed. No offense, but I hope we never need his services again!"

Sheet updated.

[kruk]

Tzarkori

I didn't feel a thing. Was something supposed to happen?

He wasn't smart to begin with so he doesn't know any better


Lerrick

The cleric feels a little dazed and confused, trying hard to refocus. I...hope this sacrifice is worth the price we all had to pay.

Sheets updated

[OGRE MAGE]

I will do a wrap-up post here before moving this group to the next thread, but go ahead and figure out your XP rewards while we wait to button this one up.

[Monsieur Rose]

The Princess

She just stares at Giggyfez as he fades away. "He never told us more about Wendel."

The Princess needs to sit after the events of the last hour.

[Jernau35]

Wes

Wes leans against a tree and wipes away the blood trickling from his nose. He blinks hard several times and addresses the dozen or so members of the party he can see.

"If I ever hear poetry again...it'll be too soon". Wes reaches into his mouth and pulls out a tooth. "Ugh".

The XP reward has put Wes over the top. He's now 7th level, allowing him to shapechange. *promptly turns into an eagle and flies off to next Obelisk*

I see OM is looking for suggestions about who gets the Organization XP. I also noticed that nobody got the Organization XP from our previous quest.

How about we give those XP to the character that is closest to leveling up? (Or something similar - if there's 500xp and your character is 600xp away, you're going to level up next time anyway, so we give them to the next character in line.)

[gurusql]

On #45 it would have been Wake (since he organized it) but of course he died.

[Karaunios]

Elanerel

"Where do you think we should go next?"

Elnaerel is still 5.373 XP from levelling up.
