[2025/11/02 13:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: think I got notes for the final fight
[2025/11/02 13:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: you may all die, just warning you now :P
[2025/11/02 13:58] Sapphire: i mean, as soon as inititive is called, we roll die
[2025/11/02 13:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: just waiting on Andreas, I think
[2025/11/02 14:02] Sapphire: /me crosses their legs and waits
[2025/11/02 14:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: I know, I'm anxious to kill some players too
[2025/11/02 14:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, Andreas and Jassie can't make it
[2025/11/02 14:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's down to you three
[2025/11/02 14:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me cracks knuckles and opens cards and notes
[2025/11/02 14:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: And so we come to the climax of the one-shot....
[2025/11/02 14:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: will you survive? Or will you suffer an ignomious TPK?
[2025/11/02 14:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Everyone roll D20
[2025/11/02 14:04] D20: Joe rolls 15
[2025/11/02 14:04] D20: Mecha rolls 1
[2025/11/02 14:04] Sapphire: /me dies
[2025/11/02 14:04] D20: Sapphire rolls 6
[2025/11/02 14:05] Mecha: And with that this one is going back to making dinner
[2025/11/02 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe... fortune smiles on you... 2D6 please
[2025/11/02 14:05] D6: Joe rolls 4
[2025/11/02 14:05] D6: Joe rolls 4
[2025/11/02 14:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me chuckles. Guess what you drew from the pack.
[2025/11/02 14:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, so... the final chapter. Chapter 5: Thy Flesh Consumed
[2025/11/02 14:07] Sapphire: ah yes.... where are we at the moment?
[2025/11/02 14:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: you've been told in no uncertain terms that you got two hours to deal with some horrid entity in the crashed human vessel
[2025/11/02 14:07] Sapphire: right
[2025/11/02 14:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're in the vessel, with eight rather anxious human survivors
[2025/11/02 14:08] Sapphire: Sapphire re-tightens her straps and looks around. "So. What do you know about the horrible entity that is holding out in here?"
[2025/11/02 14:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's been half an hour. You got ninety minutes left before the Githyanki show if they are bluffing or not about incinerating the planet.
[2025/11/02 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: One of the humans, who seems to be the be in charge, leans forwards on the table and says: "Look, I'll admit we got a huge problem. This... thing... whatever it is... is currently nested in our reactor. We can't use firearms or explosives against it. Any kind of major force, in fact, is likely to damage the reactor, and if that happens, we'll be in the middle of a dust bowl the size of Nebraska."
[2025/11/02 14:10] Mecha: Beltadona hauls out Jawbreaker."Well, can we lure it out?"
[2025/11/02 14:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson: "Yeah, good luck with that. It doesn't move."
[2025/11/02 14:11] Joe: "Did you poke it with a pointy stick?"
[2025/11/02 14:11] Mecha: Great so we target our major force or save the Githyanki the trouble
[2025/11/02 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hicks: "Those that tried, died, man!"
[2025/11/02 14:13] Sapphire: ".....that would kill it, right?"
[2025/11/02 14:14] Sapphire: "If we damaged this 'reactor' thing?"
[2025/11/02 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson: "...you're not suggesting we blow the reactor...?"
[2025/11/02 14:16] Mecha: Wait... Nested."Is the reactor powered on right now?
[2025/11/02 14:16] Sapphire: "well... how big is a Nebraska? It's smaller than the whole world, right?"
[2025/11/02 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Woman in white suit looks at Joe: "You're wounded. Let me help you." She takes out a white box and starts pulling objects out.
[2025/11/02 14:16] Joe: "Could we at least wait until the Githyanki demons arrive first. To solve two problems with one ree-ack-tor
[2025/11/02 14:17] Joe: weapon."
[2025/11/02 14:17] Mecha: I have a question. How hot is this area with that reactor?
[2025/11/02 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson: "The reactor is always on, it powers the ship. As for blowing it - NO. It'll wipe out everything within a few hundred miles. And I mean, EVERYTHING."
[2025/11/02 14:18] Sapphire: "How hard can we hit it without damaging it?"
[2025/11/02 14:18] Mecha: if it is nesting because of the warmth maybe we can take away that warmth to drive it out
[2025/11/02 14:18] Joe: "The Gighyanki intend to blwo up the planet. I choose the lesser of two evils. We detsro the Githyanki with the reactor."
[2025/11/02 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Woman in white starts ministering to Joe, sticking on patches and giving him a few pills. Joe gets to roll a D8
[2025/11/02 14:18] D8: Joe rolls 7
[2025/11/02 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson: "We can't use fire arms or anything explosive. Whatever hits it, must be a hand-held weapon, like your swords."
[2025/11/02 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe: gain 7hp
[2025/11/02 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Woman in white: "Best I can do. You're pretty beat up."
[2025/11/02 14:20] Joe: awesome! "I feel good. Lets go chop this demon up."
[2025/11/02 14:20] Joe: Thanks the woman in white
[2025/11/02 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hicks: "We got flame throwers and incendiaries... but that's going to be suicide."
[2025/11/02 14:21] Sapphire: "Where's its armor weakest?"
[2025/11/02 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson to Beldonta. "You said you got powers... can you guys do anything to help?"
[2025/11/02 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hicks: Laughs. "Go ask it!"
[2025/11/02 14:22] Mecha: Forget explosives and flame throwers let's just go smash it
[2025/11/02 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson: "Trust me, you'll WANT those flamethrowers."
[2025/11/02 14:23] Sapphire: "Whys it like your reactor? is it like a cat resting by a fireplace, or something else?"
[2025/11/02 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: One of the women, who's said nothing so far: "We don't know. We theorize it's because of the unique nature of this species, the way it feeds."
[2025/11/02 14:24] Mecha: Beltadona sighs and catches herself."Okay we bring what we need based on our weapons and these Eeearthers
[2025/11/02 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson: "I hope you're ready for this thing. It's like nothing you've seen, ever, in your worst nightmares."
[2025/11/02 14:26] Sapphire: "I haven't had time to have nightmares lately."
[2025/11/02 14:26] Mecha: You know, I would challenge that but based on what i have seen recently. I am willing to believe you there
[2025/11/02 14:26] Mecha: *Off we go?*
[2025/11/02 14:27] Sapphire: ( Seems like. )
[2025/11/02 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson: "It's... it's like... a big mouth, fused to the corridor. There's tentacles... and it draws you in."
[2025/11/02 14:27] Sapphire: "Maybe we can feed it poison...."
[2025/11/02 14:27] Joe: "draws you in ?"
[2025/11/02 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson: (sighs): "Alright, Marines, armour up. Ten minutes, the reactor corridor, now let's move! Rest of you - fetch spare tanks and grenades. We brought this thing here, we better deal with it."
[2025/11/02 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson: "Yeah... took out the Sarge that way..."
[2025/11/02 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: To the reactor corridor?
[2025/11/02 14:29] Sapphire: "OH. If we fail.... are you able to force the reactor to blow anyway?"
[2025/11/02 14:29] Sapphire: "Better a Nebraska than the whole world."
[2025/11/02 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's a lot of discomforting looks passing amongst the humans. They seem reluctant indeed.
[2025/11/02 14:31] Sapphire: ( brb, biobreak )
[2025/11/02 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, on to the corridor?
[2025/11/02 14:32] Joe: Joe the Paladin makes a prayer to the Purity and decidely steps forward as if there is no risk at all.
[2025/11/02 14:33] Mecha: *Nods* to the corridor
[2025/11/02 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: On to the corridor, then!
[2025/11/02 14:33] Mecha: Beltadona says a prayer as they move
[2025/11/02 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe, on the way, you spot the ships' cat, Simba, sleeping in a corner.
[2025/11/02 14:34] Sapphire: ( back )
[2025/11/02 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl:http://81.133.27.194/QuantumKittens/D&Dcats/simba-restedadvantaged20roll.html
[2025/11/02 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Such a rested kitty. Simba grants that your next D20 roll is made with advantage.
[2025/11/02 14:34] Sapphire: Sapphire is rather stressed out, doubting she makes it back from this, but wanting to do her best.
[2025/11/02 14:34] Joe: aw - i do not disturb the sleeping cat but i send feelings of friendliness from my heart
[2025/11/02 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you approach the hatch to the corridor... you hear an increasing roaring sound. It sounds like an angry giant, bellowing and roaring in fury - and HUNGER
[2025/11/02 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: D20 for initiative
[2025/11/02 14:35] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 19
[2025/11/02 14:36] D20: Mecha rolls 5
[2025/11/02 14:36] D20: Sapphire rolls 3
[2025/11/02 14:36] D20: Joe rolls 12
[2025/11/02 14:37] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 10
[2025/11/02 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... could've been worse :)
[2025/11/02 14:37] Sapphire: could it?
[2025/11/02 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson: "Ready? Because when I open this hatch... the gates of Hell are open!"
[2025/11/02 14:38] Mecha: Could have been the Olson Twins
[2025/11/02 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Last chance to cast spells that you might need)
[2025/11/02 14:38] Mecha: Beltadona casts Prayer
[2025/11/02 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: +1 to hit/saves/AC?
[2025/11/02 14:38] Sapphire: is a Fighter
[2025/11/02 14:38] Sapphire: unless i got a magic item
[2025/11/02 14:39] Mecha: Prayer 6r allies to hit/dmg rolls +1, foes -1
[2025/11/02 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: 6 rounds... if you last that long....
[2025/11/02 14:39] Sapphire: oh!
[2025/11/02 14:39] Sapphire: the Red Hot Whetstone
[2025/11/02 14:39] Sapphire: sharpening up my sword
[2025/11/02 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: +1d4 fire damage on hits
[2025/11/02 14:39] Sapphire: might matter
[2025/11/02 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: All ready?
[2025/11/02 14:40] Mecha: Beltadona closes her eyes and tries to psych herself up for whatever is about to be seen
[2025/11/02 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hicks and Gorman line up to go first. And with that, Hudson opens the hatch....
[2025/11/02 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sanity checks all round! Roll 2D10
[2025/11/02 14:41] D10: Mecha rolls 10
[2025/11/02 14:41] D10: Mecha rolls 10
[2025/11/02 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: :O
[2025/11/02 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: 00. Pass! Such a good pass... no sanity lost.
[2025/11/02 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, Joe?
[2025/11/02 14:42] D10: Joe rolls 5
[2025/11/02 14:42] D10: Joe rolls 2
[2025/11/02 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: just passed
[2025/11/02 14:42] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/11/02 14:42] D10: Sapphire rolls 9
[2025/11/02 14:42] D10: Sapphire rolls 4
[2025/11/02 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: only loose 1 sanity.
[2025/11/02 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: uh oh
[2025/11/02 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: 94 is a fail.
[2025/11/02 14:42] D10: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2025/11/02 14:42] Sapphire: what sight drills itself into my brain?
[2025/11/02 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: 6 sanity lost.
[2025/11/02 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: As for what you see...
[2025/11/02 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: This anomaly resembles a massive, fleshy vertical orifice roughly 6 ft wide and 10 ft tall. Lining the “maw” are thick tendrils and sensory stalks, while in its depths pulses a huge, pupil-less eye. The walls around it are warped, fleshy, and sometimes still-metallic—as if it grew through the ship or tunnel wall like a cancer. It simply bellows and roars deafeningly, a mix of rage, hate and, above all, hunger.
[2025/11/02 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire goes first!
[2025/11/02 14:45] Sapphire: Towards the fleshy slit she marches, shield raised and sword held high, arm swinging to slash through whichever tendrils come her way.
[2025/11/02 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Using longsword? Roll D20
[2025/11/02 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: 13+ to hit.
[2025/11/02 14:47] D20: Sapphire rolls 3
[2025/11/02 14:47] Sapphire: that's -like- a 13
[2025/11/02 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Put a 1 in front of that next time.
[2025/11/02 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: You bat at the flailing tentacles, but with no apparant effect.
[2025/11/02 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha is next
[2025/11/02 14:48] Mecha: Gonna cast produce flame aiming for the pupil-less eye in its gob.
[2025/11/02 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Already used that spell
[2025/11/02 14:49] Mecha: Yes but has 3 spell slots and have not used all of them
[2025/11/02 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: spells are prayed for at the start of the day, but, I'll allow it.
[2025/11/02 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Goodness knows you need all the help you can get!
[2025/11/02 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: You now have a hand that is on fire. If I recall right - attack roll.
[2025/11/02 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: D20, see if you can hit.... let's say AC8
[2025/11/02 14:51] D20: Mecha rolls 19
[2025/11/02 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: You fling a ball of fire straight into it's "eye"!
[2025/11/02 14:51] D10: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/11/02 14:51] D10: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2025/11/02 14:51] Mecha: "Ka - MEeee - Haaaa - Meee- HAAAAAA!!
[2025/11/02 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: The spell -fizzles-, and has no effect.
[2025/11/02 14:52] Mecha: *1D4 + 1 Correct?*
[2025/11/02 14:52] Mecha: ...
[2025/11/02 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Would've been....
[2025/11/02 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: It goes next. Oh dear.
[2025/11/02 14:52] Mecha: Beltadona."welp I'm out of ideas."
[2025/11/02 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: The "eye" seems to focus on Gorman....
[2025/11/02 14:53] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 18
[2025/11/02 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: He gets the most vacant and serene expression on his face and starts strolling forwards, without an apparant care in the world.
[2025/11/02 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hicks: "Someone stop the stupid bastard!" He charges forwards and activates the flamethrower.
[2025/11/02 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: Roll 3D6
[2025/11/02 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Or Sapphire?

[2025/11/02 14:56] D6: Mecha rolls 3
[2025/11/02 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: 10 points of damage...
[2025/11/02 14:56] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 17
[2025/11/02 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Saved. Reduced to 5.
[2025/11/02 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's now on fire. This does nothing to soothe it's rage
[2025/11/02 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe!
[2025/11/02 14:56] Joe: I have this: Dagger "Elderams Gift" +2 vs Extraplanars so i am going to get all stabby on the demon
[2025/11/02 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll d20 with advantage this round.

[2025/11/02 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: He's clearly punking you
[2025/11/02 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wait! You got advantage! Roll again
[2025/11/02 14:59] Joe: hmm
[2025/11/02 14:59] D20: Joe rolls 18
[2025/11/02 15:00] Sapphire: or they're standing in front of us, bidding us to rejoin the divine flesh
[2025/11/02 15:00] Joe: oh yeah thats more like it
[2025/11/02 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: HIT! Roll d4!
[2025/11/02 15:00] D4: Joe rolls 3
[2025/11/02 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: 5 points of damage inflicted!
[2025/11/02 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Advantage: used.
[2025/11/02 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Back to Sapphire
[2025/11/02 15:01] Sapphire: Moving to get in front of Gorman and using her shield to block her and his view of the EYE
[2025/11/02 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: and... anything else...?
[2025/11/02 15:03] Sapphire: is that only a move action then?
[2025/11/02 15:03] Sapphire: is there stuff in range to attack?
[2025/11/02 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're literally in the corridor next to him. You get two sword attacks, if you want them
[2025/11/02 15:04] Sapphire: will attack twice then!
[2025/11/02 15:04] D20: Sapphire rolls 6
[2025/11/02 15:04] D20: Sapphire rolls 9
[2025/11/02 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: D20, nee....
[2025/11/02 15:04] Sapphire: it seems to be irrelevant
[2025/11/02 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: o_o
[2025/11/02 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha? Can you be more rele... I mean, effective?
[2025/11/02 15:07] Mecha: Gonna move in close draw her whip and again aiming for that eye. I tmight be what is controlling Gorman

[2025/11/02 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Automatic hit on Gorman, who finally comes to his senses as he is dragged to the great gaping maw, which promptly starts to chew on him. Needless to say Gorman is screaming frantically, but, numerous tentacles are dragging him in.
[2025/11/02 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe!
[2025/11/02 15:13] Joe: sorry

[2025/11/02 15:14] Sapphire: so what equipment does gorman have on?
[2025/11/02 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: o_o
[2025/11/02 15:14] Joe: next round im going to use the axe
[2025/11/02 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ceramic armour plates and a big tank strapped to his back, connected to a long tube with a flexible hose
[2025/11/02 15:15] Sapphire: interesting
[2025/11/02 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Marines next: Gorman is incapacitated. The creature is still on fire...
[2025/11/02 15:15] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2025/11/02 15:15] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2025/11/02 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: It suffers 5 fire damage.
[2025/11/02 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's starting to look wounded.
[2025/11/02 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hicks sprays more fire over it.
[2025/11/02 15:16] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2025/11/02 15:16] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2025/11/02 15:16] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2025/11/02 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: 10 damage...
[2025/11/02 15:16] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 4
[2025/11/02 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: does not save. Full 10 damage suffered. It's now wounded.
[2025/11/02 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: End of round... Sapphire!
[2025/11/02 15:17] Sapphire: hmmmmm
[2025/11/02 15:18] Sapphire: how far did Gorman get dragged?
[2025/11/02 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hard to tell, why, what have you in mind?
[2025/11/02 15:18] Sapphire: is it less than a normal move action?
[2025/11/02 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: What are you planning?
[2025/11/02 15:19] Sapphire: does the distance change based on how i answer?
[2025/11/02 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, but, if I know what you have in mind, I can tell you your chances of success before you try
[2025/11/02 15:19] Sapphire: since i was standing in front of him and then he got pulled, i'm trying to visualize the situation in my head
[2025/11/02 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Partly his mind control, partly flailing tentacles, he got dragged into a huge great gob that chewed him up
[2025/11/02 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: so can you reach him? Yes, if you plan committing suicide, 100% success
[2025/11/02 15:20] Sapphire: I was thinking to go and try to cut him free
[2025/11/02 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: That'll be a Strength check, with disadvantage
[2025/11/02 15:21] Sapphire: but that would mean going past all the teeth
[2025/11/02 15:21] Sapphire: how about to just breach the tank he had?
[2025/11/02 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's doable.
[2025/11/02 15:21] Sapphire: oh hey i have ranged weapons
[2025/11/02 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hmmmm
[2025/11/02 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: hit AC 10, you'll breach a tank.
[2025/11/02 15:21] Sapphire: switching to short bow to attempt that
[2025/11/02 15:22] Sapphire: since his weapon was spitting nasty stuff, right?
[2025/11/02 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: you'll need to be up close - not sure arrows will succeed at that
[2025/11/02 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: from google: "A bow and arrow is highly unlikely to pierce a standard, high-pressure oxygen tank."
[2025/11/02 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: But you do have a hand axe.
[2025/11/02 15:24] Sapphire: yeah, let's try with the axe if it looks like i won't get eaten on approach
[2025/11/02 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'll allow hitting it with an axe from a distance, but, it's a harder shot. AC 8.
[2025/11/02 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Also: you suddenly have an axe in your inventory
[2025/11/02 15:24] D20: Sapphire rolls 17
[2025/11/02 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: make it count! Roll ....
[2025/11/02 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: that hit.
[2025/11/02 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: You rupture the fuel tank strapped to Gormans' back. It explodes with a deafening roar.
[2025/11/02 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll 6D6
[2025/11/02 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: (It'll get a save, anything over 10 will reduce by 1/2)
[2025/11/02 15:26] D6: Sapphire rolls 2
[2025/11/02 15:26] D6: Sapphire rolls 1
[2025/11/02 15:26] D6: Sapphire rolls 4
[2025/11/02 15:26] D6: Sapphire rolls 1
[2025/11/02 15:26] D6: Sapphire rolls 1
[2025/11/02 15:26] D6: Sapphire rolls 3
[2025/11/02 15:26] Sapphire: >.>
[2025/11/02 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me holds her head in her hands
[2025/11/02 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me rolls the d20 without looking
[2025/11/02 15:27] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 13
[2025/11/02 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Gorman is blown to pieces.
[2025/11/02 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: The creatures' tentacles flail as if trying to wave the flames away. It's barely scratched.
[2025/11/02 15:29] Sapphire: o_O
[2025/11/02 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: good idea.... too bad with the die rolls... did you make correct snackrifices before playing?
[2025/11/02 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha! What hare-brai... I mean, bright idea have you? :)
[2025/11/02 15:30] Sapphire: /me pours some sherry out for the dice
[2025/11/02 15:30] Mecha: Beltadona face palms before apologizing to Goreman for not thinking of this sooner and casting Protection from evil
[2025/11/02 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: on who?
[2025/11/02 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: also... Goreman, really?
[2025/11/02 15:32] Mecha: *Shit, forgot it wasn't area of effect. How many earthers are left?*
[2025/11/02 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, it's AoE, from my notes. Allies are now {protected}
[2025/11/02 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: For the next 18 rounds, it can no longer mentally dominate anyone.
[2025/11/02 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now it's -really- angry.
[2025/11/02 15:33] Mecha: *If she had done this sooner Goreman would not have been mind controlled*
[2025/11/02 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: It goes next... cannot mentally dominate so here come the tentacles!
[2025/11/02 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Indeed... oh well. Poor Goreman, now he's just gore.)
[2025/11/02 15:34] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/11/02 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: really?
[2025/11/02 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: A tentacle flails at Hicks.
[2025/11/02 15:34] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 17
[2025/11/02 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: It hits him!
[2025/11/02 15:34] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2025/11/02 15:34] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/11/02 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: He's battered, but alive.
[2025/11/02 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe to go!
[2025/11/02 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: (And that Protection from Evil could well save your collective asses)
[2025/11/02 15:37] Joe: (who has protection from evil?)
[2025/11/02 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Everyone but the creature.
[2025/11/02 15:38] Joe: I guess I have to chop the creatures eye out with axe
[2025/11/02 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're going to axe it a question? D20
[2025/11/02 15:38] D20: Joe rolls 4
[2025/11/02 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: 15+ to hit
[2025/11/02 15:39] Mecha: *It does also give enemies -2 to hit added to the earlier Prayer gives allies a +1 to hit, +2 to save and enemies have a total -3 to hit*
[2025/11/02 15:39] Joe: nope
[2025/11/02 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me just stares at Joe with some incredulity
[2025/11/02 15:39] Joe: Steps back, frowns, rethinks strategy
[2025/11/02 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hicks is still able to fight; the creature is still on fire.
[2025/11/02 15:40] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2025/11/02 15:40] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2025/11/02 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: No save, 6 damage inflicted
[2025/11/02 15:40] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2025/11/02 15:40] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2025/11/02 15:40] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2025/11/02 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: 11 damage, unless...
[2025/11/02 15:40] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 11
[2025/11/02 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: of course it saved :/
[2025/11/02 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: 6 damage inflicted
[2025/11/02 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: It is now looking very wounded, but, even more angry and hate-filled.
[2025/11/02 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: End of round, back to Sapphire!
[2025/11/02 15:43] Sapphire: Sapphire goes onto Tentacle-Cutting duties to slow down people getting grabbed
[2025/11/02 15:43] Sapphire: hopefully the blood loss adds up too
[2025/11/02 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's lots of tentacles, but, roll a D20
[2025/11/02 15:43] D20: Sapphire rolls 4
[2025/11/02 15:43] Sapphire: only on?
[2025/11/02 15:43] Sapphire: not two?
[2025/11/02 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's round 4, I think
[2025/11/02 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: so yes, roll again
[2025/11/02 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll better'n a 4...
[2025/11/02 15:45] D20: Sapphire rolls 3
[2025/11/02 15:45] Sapphire: >.>
[2025/11/02 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha.
[2025/11/02 15:47] Mecha: Beltadona drags her hammer through the flames hoping some of the "Oil used to spray the fire could get on her hammer before taking a swing at the thing
[2025/11/02 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, roll over 18
[2025/11/02 15:47] D20: Mecha rolls 14
[2025/11/02 15:47] Mecha: *Even with pluses that misses*
[2025/11/02 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, at least you rolled a number with a 1 in front.
[2025/11/02 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: +3 makes 17....
[2025/11/02 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay.
[2025/11/02 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Tentacle time!
[2025/11/02 15:48] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/11/02 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay
[2025/11/02 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: what the fuck is going on
[2025/11/02 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: I have never seen so many 1s
[2025/11/02 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: One tentacle lashes at Hicks
[2025/11/02 15:49] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/11/02 15:49] Sapphire: might not want to say that word with so many tentacles around
[2025/11/02 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: FUCKING REALLY???
[2025/11/02 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe!
[2025/11/02 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Save us from this nat1 hell!
[2025/11/02 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me has faith in Joe
[2025/11/02 15:50] Joe: takes a deep breath.
[2025/11/02 15:50] Joe: uses Footmans' Flail 1d6+1 to hit the tentacle beast
[2025/11/02 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Must roll over 14 (included bonuses)
[2025/11/02 15:51] D20: Joe rolls 13
[2025/11/02 15:51] Joe: oh ffs
[2025/11/02 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: you've gotta be yanking my fucking chain
[2025/11/02 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's on fire.
[2025/11/02 15:51] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2025/11/02 15:51] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 16
[2025/11/02 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Saves, 3 damage.
[2025/11/02 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hicks sprays it with fire
[2025/11/02 15:52] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2025/11/02 15:52] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2025/11/02 15:52] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2025/11/02 15:52] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 15
[2025/11/02 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: 14 damage, saved, only 7 inflicted.
[2025/11/02 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson is on the scene with a flamethrower too...
[2025/11/02 15:53] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2025/11/02 15:53] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2025/11/02 15:53] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2025/11/02 15:53] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 13
[2025/11/02 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's incinerated. It gives a last roar of fury that slowly dies away, the tentacles slowly stop flailing. It simply is there, oozing ichor and burning, motionless.
[2025/11/02 15:55] Sapphire: Sapphire stands ready to slab anything more of the flesh wall that tries to move
[2025/11/02 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's just collapsing.
[2025/11/02 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: No kidding, that Prot from Evil really saved your asses.
[2025/11/02 15:55] Joe: phew
[2025/11/02 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: good call, Mecha
[2025/11/02 15:56] Joe: thanks Mecha
[2025/11/02 15:56] Mecha: thank you. Sorry didn't think of it sooner
[2025/11/02 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: well. With the creature dead... time to go see the Githyanki at Barrow Hill
[2025/11/02 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: they will be pleased
[2025/11/02 15:57] Mecha: Hope so. Time to move. Not sure how much time is left
[2025/11/02 15:57] Sapphire: I suppose either we die or we don't
[2025/11/02 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kitharx Vaelthyr: "The infestation is ended, the mission complete. You live... for now. Another world demands our wrath. Be content with your survival. You bled, yet you endured. Few of your kind do. When the war-chants echo again, perhaps you will answer. Until then, we take our leave."
[2025/11/02 15:58] Sapphire: Sapphire holds her tongue, for lack of anything kind to say.
[2025/11/02 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: O.o
[2025/11/02 15:58] Joe: Says something unbefitting of a Paladin about the bastards
[2025/11/02 15:58] Mecha: Beltadon falls on her ass and takes a deep breath
[2025/11/02 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: The Banner of the Githyanki is erected on top of Old Barrow Hill.Kitharx Vaelthyr: "Hear, O lesser kin: Submission to us is not slavery but deliverance, from what the Outer Beasts would have made of you. So kneel, offer your service. Raise your eyes to the Githyanki, and be remade."
[2025/11/02 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me waits if anyone says/does anything
[2025/11/02 16:00] Sapphire: "....what does Remade mean here?"
[2025/11/02 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kitharx: "As it implies. You'll be elevated."
[2025/11/02 16:01] Mecha: Beltadona gets back to her feet."We didn't just save things to have it taken over."
[2025/11/02 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kitharx: "We have no wish to take your realm over, only that you join with us in the Great War."
[2025/11/02 16:02] Joe: "all good. We have our own Gods. Don't need another one. Especially a tyrannical one which is faintly Evil."
[2025/11/02 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2025/11/02 16:03] Mecha: Now hold on Are you saying our realm or are you just looking for hereoes? Not sure how much of this realm is for fighting wars
[2025/11/02 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kitharx: "I am not here to argue with lesser creatures. I'll simply leave a garrison here instead. So be it."
[2025/11/02 16:04] Sapphire: "....elevated but still here to keep things togther?" She looks around, seeming to be seriously considering it. "What oaths would you demand of me?"
[2025/11/02 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kitharx doesn't seem to be paying attention any more.
[2025/11/02 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: The Githyanki form a cresent, and raise their swords up high, and chant:

"We are Eternal in War.
We war not for hunger, nor for plunder, but for Memory.
For every blade drawn, a name is remembered.
For every city taken, a lie is erased.
For our Queen, Vara’kul the Unending!

The Way Is War. The War Is Endless.
So commands the Queen!"
[2025/11/02 16:05] Joe: "Can we get some sleep now?"
[2025/11/02 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Each Gith warrior sheaths their silver sword in perfect unison. A ripple of silence spreads outward, swallowing sound for a few seconds. When it fades, they are gone — no footsteps, no trail.
[2025/11/02 16:06] Sapphire: Is there somewhere comfortable to slump on?
[2025/11/02 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Congratulations on having survived the one-shot "Thy Flesh Consumed"! But...! (...you KNEW there'd be a "but", didn't you? Didn't you???)
[2025/11/02 16:06] Sapphire: "....I think I need a drink after that."
[2025/11/02 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Epilogue: “In the dark, damp earth, far from the light, hidden away... a mound of organic matter pulses and throbs. The stink of rot clings to the air. And then - the faintest movement, like a breath, a twitch beneath the membrane. From within the biomass... something stirs...”
[2025/11/02 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: And that concludes the one-shot, you may indeed sleep now, you've earnt it! I do hope you had fun playing... and are looking forwards to the campaign(s) to follow.
[2025/11/02 16:08] Sapphire: am curious what would have happened if Sapphire said yes to the remade deal, but being sworn to work for asshole mantis-people seems... not great
[2025/11/02 16:09] Mecha: Whew, we survived
[2025/11/02 16:09] Joe: yes! thanks for the exciting adventure Sonja
[2025/11/02 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Technically, nothing, since it's one-shot ending.
[2025/11/02 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: But it gives you an idea of what comes in the campaign.
[2025/11/02 16:10] Sapphire: hmmmmm
[2025/11/02 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me has.... big plans :)
[2025/11/02 16:10] Sapphire: oh yeah, you wanted character concepts discussed at some point soon?
[2025/11/02 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Next week. Campaign isn't written yet, but, by next week, I should have a large portion done.
[2025/11/02 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Consider it campaign session zero: character creation
[2025/11/02 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... the big question
[2025/11/02 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: was it a good Halloween game?
[2025/11/02 16:12] Mecha: /me nods."Very good."
[2025/11/02 16:13] Sapphire: /me nods. "very Spooktober."
[2025/11/02 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: glad you liked it... I better dash, though, got work tomorrow, and it's been 9-10hr days, so... I'll see you tomorrow!
[2025/11/02 16:14] Joe: have a good week
[2025/11/02 16:14] Joe: i gtg too
[2025/11/02 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: and, I got writing to do...
