Well, what with Xmas coming, I didn't have time to post the last adventure, which was on Dec 11...
As you can see, we are already into the holiday spirits before the game even begins...
I think this was spiced rum?...don't remember...
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We have defeated the archers that were outside of the main castle doors, and now we venture INSIDE...
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Georgeous opens the door and undead
swarm in...
...now we know where all the peasants and the castle army went to!
Beernut says that the Witch Lord quest called for a 'legion' of 12 monsters. Ya. 12. Here's HIS version of a legion!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As we steadily kill them, new ones trickle in.....
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We take care of them easily and find another room beyond the door; going into the mountain!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Zombies pull down one of my skels. Maybe it's the gold one
Korisu claims is gay...it is looking a bit like a *group hug*.
And there's a gold Mummy there, too - wonder if HE shops at Shaw's?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
...Or maybe they're zombies themselves... I should have written this the weekend we played it...
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In any event - here's
Korisu's version of the gay gold skel...
...somehow "shopping at Shaw's" became his name/signature expression...ppshaaaw-w-w-w-w...
ask if THAT one wasn't overdone by the time the evening was over.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fighting Zombie dogs and zombies and undead - and a few skels mixed in.
We saved this pic to set up the next time we would meet - because we well out of time!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It takes us 30 mins to setup and figure out where we were, now that it's Jan 8...
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Zeb kills a zombie dog, then attacks the zombie (must have been its master).
Korisu finishes the zombie, then cuts another dog.
A second attack finishes it off.
Georgeous attacks a dog, hurting it. Red Skel kills a zombie, and according to the DM, flattens the face of another one.
Gold skel gets up, and damages the blue zombie.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But dogs kill the pebble base skel. Zombies fail to kill
gold skel (NOT 'ppshaww').
Georgeous make a 6 skull hit on a ghoul - which has -2 defense due to his artifact weapon.
But he only cuts off its arm! The Ghouls are powerful!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Korisu next kills a zombie dog. My skeletal mage uses Shock Touch on a dog. Red skel manages to finish off a Ghoul, while Gold skel kills a dog.
But with Zarquon's turn to attack, a dog bites
Zebs right in the crotch.
Zebs kills a ghoul.
Korisu finishes off the dog that
Zebs took an ear off of.
A ghoul is cut by
Korisu,
El Flesh releases the spent mage, and makes a new one that has 'Summon Allies' as one of its medium chaos spells - even if they get HQ level attack dice and defense
(in other words, weak as *lemony goodness*) their masses will help alot. Two more Ghouls come in the door. LEGIONS. This is what legions are.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Korisu shrugs off their attack, slashing back with a long penetration - severing the spine of the ghoul; its head drops off as it slumps to the floor.
Georgeous attacks another ghoul with his magic extending weapon from two spaces away and its guts drop right out.
Georgeous shield bash is defended however.
An arrow from my mage's warped ally - skel archer hits the back of the ghoul's head. Pebbles skel kills a zombie that was stunned by the mage. Two of my mage's zombie allies pull down a ghoul!
The gold skel comes around, and a full skulls roll kills it! ("pppshhawww!!!" sez
Korisu)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Korisu defends TWO attacks, but the ghoul paralyzes him.
Zebs takes the head off of the ghoul.
Georgeous, at the door, decides to go down on his friends. The stairs have bones and bits of fat left over form the ghouls eating what they could find of rotting dead bodies.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
He gets downstairs, and only then notices the smell - it is a
Defiler! His check roll manages not to puke!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My summons run down the stairs, with zombies speeding to surround the defiler. But they have used all their action points and cannot attack.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The tentacle of the defiler in the back constricts the zombie there and it is being dragged in! A roll of 4 dmg with NO defense lets the other tentacle take the head off of the other zombie entirely! The gold skeleton is constricted too!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Zebs arrives, and barely manages not to puke - can't imagine why, since as a half-Ogre, he eats stuff comparable to the defiler anyway.
Korisu also manages not to lose his cookies, and we can't imagine why, either; being almost permanently drunk he should barf at the drop of a hat. He tries to cut the tentacle dragging gold skel but fails.
The staff attack lousy roll of
El Flesh fails to do any damage...
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The zombie dragged from the back is dragged into the defiler's mouth and is crushed into bones, rotten flesh, and pus. (Reminds me of someone from another website.) But his body points are added to the defiler! Now yours truly,
El Flesh is constricted and being dragged into the mass! Another tentacle releases the gold skel, and crawls backwards to attack
Georgeous from behind! Pebbles skel is being dragged by another tentacle!
Zebs comes to save
El Flesh - he attacks the defiler, while he hears something coming from down the corridor! It must distract him, because his sword hits the ceiling!
Zebs and
Korisu manage not to barf.
Korisu jumps on a table and does a KIAI attack - he splits it open, with vile putrescence spilling out of it, but sees that the wound is already closing. He too hears something getting closer form down the corridor!
Georgeous uses his artifact weapon's 'Blessed Light' - which destroys a skeletal archer ally, but fails to harm the red skel. Pebbles skel is destroyed, while
El Flesh is dragged one more space. A tentacle from the Defiler slips under the table
Korisu is standing on to attack him from behind! Another tentacle smashes the red skel into bits! TWO Ghouls and a RENDER show up! It was the noise from the hall!
(sorry the pix/story are paced so badly)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Zebs goes berZERK - nine hits score on his full attack, and it destroys the Defiler entirely!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Korisu manages to kill the Render before its claws can flash out all over the place severely wounding anyone within its reach! But
Zebs on Zerk has very low defense when the ghoul attacks him. Now it is his turn to fight, and six hits slices its head badly but it doesn't fall.
Korisu's sword fails to harm the ghoul. His last hit goes through its ghastly smile.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Georgeous is fighting a ghoul very hard, and it is costing him chi. A shield bash smashes the ghoul into
Zeb.
Gold skel fails to kill it, but Red skel succeeds.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now it seems the legion has been destroyed. Time to look for treasure and rewards!
Zebs finds a potion of well-being.
Korisu finds a Katana of Armor(ous) Piercing; two of the attack die will autohit. He also rolls horribly and gets ONE piece of Copper!
Georgeous finds 20 Gold pieces, and a Cloth Shirt of Strength that gives +1 to body. A Mace of Battering; -1 enemy defense die. I find 80 silver pieces and a statue worth 200 gold.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Zebs is too curious, and goes through the dug out tunnel, but is assaulted by stench again! uh oh. ZOMBIES!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Korisu searches the cabinet and finds another Katana - this one is a Duelist Katana of Storms: +2 def dice, and one skull hit makes the enemy lose 1 body point due to electricity vs its body save roll.
He also finds a Throwing Hand Ax of Storms. It is an artifact!
Georgeous finds 130 silver in the shelves, and dried foods that can replace their stuff that was spoiled with defiler guck all over it. My skels go down a hall and have the roof collapse on them. The gold one is killed and I release the red one rather than waste time digging it out. My pebbles skel defends vs THREE zombie attacks and repulses a roll of 4 ones and a two that utterly FAIL to pull him down! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! They also fail to pull down
Zebs, who blows away a zombie with an 8 skull overkill. A zombie stays up with the first hit from
Korisu's Duelist Katana of Storms. But the electric touch of it causes the zombie head to detonate, splaying oatmeal-like congealed rotten brains everywhere. (hey that makes me think of that same jerkoff)
Georgeous crushes a zombie head into the wall. Red skel kills a zombie; pebbles kills one too. Zombie dogs jump into the fray, but fail to pull down any skels.
Korisu gives
Zebs the Katana of Armor (ous) Piercing.
Georgeous kills another zombie. Nothing much else happens, and now
Zebs of Dooooom is on the ball right away; using his leap attack, he harms one ghoul, and smashes it into the other one, making it fall.
Korisu attacks a ghoul, shocking it too.
Georgeous kills it.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But now we see the commander.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It Boner Slaps
Korisu & Georgeous. A 9 skull hit of
Korisu makes a crack on it.
Georgeous fails to hurt it. The three skels cause minor damage when they hit it with SIX skulls.
My mind check roll lets me infer that this is an entity of its own; one that I can not attack on the level of weakening its hold to its body. It is a Bone Golem.
Korisu hits six skulls, and it only cracks.
Georgeous hurts it - it starts to wobble. I fail to harm it, while it hurts us quite severely.
Zebs saves the day again, delivering the final Coup de Grace with six skulls.

Xmas gift for
Beernut the DM - we got loads of fun coming up with THIS.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This is where we all visit when we aren't killing things...
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Well sorry for the bad focus; I was trying different things with my camera this time - looks like I'm going back to auto settings...
So glad to be back in the saddle again! Will be even gladder next time when we have all recovered from our colds and there will be alcohol again!
Wheela!
