OOC: you're saying that we can't use any of the spells until we reach level 1, right?
OOC: That helps with the difficulty, but what about the frequency? It would change the feel of DCC to be constantly rolling for skill checks. Just about every location has one, and some have several.

OOC: Any idea what "nail the witch's shadow " might do Fire? OOC: Go for it! Converting material to DCC isn't that hard! OOC: Agreed, when it comes to monsters, NPCs and other creatures. Skill checks, on the other hand....there are just so many of them, of so many different difficulties, e...

Hmmm, ok. Gran yells down the stairs for Luc to "rustle up some Holly branches, quick", then scootches over next to Amalthea and also reads the grimoire. Luc extricates himself, grabs the rope, and searches the woodpile for Holly. Nan.....well, not sure what Nan does. That last cabin must ...

OOC: quick question then: have any of us seen or run across anything made of holly yet? Or is this the kind of thing for which I.should go back and re-read all the posts?

Ooc: but did they bleed? Did she inflict any damage at all, a tenth of a hp, maybe?

OOC: I have a theory......we may have to sacrifice one of our number in order to attack the phantoms when they turn solid after feeding. Let's find out. Marissa pulls a knife and leaps up, screaming the goddess of luck's name slashes the most solid-seeming part of the most solid of the phantoms that...

My bad, Marissa only has 2hp left. I once knew how to do basic math, honest!

She got hit for 1&2 dmg. Still has 3hp. She throws her bag of flour at them, dropping the dolls and dropping to her knees, apologizing profusely for offending the dead. OOC: How is Nan doing in the new cabin or Gran with the tarot? Luc is completely covered in undead gore and is lying at the bot...

Luck scores: Gran 14-1 Marissa 7-1 Luc 10-2 Nan 10-2 Dolls: This is a little harder. Specifically mentioned, Luc has the one that was originally in front of the door, and Marissa has 2, one in each hand. We mentioned that between me and fire, we collected all the dolls. I think we can assume Nan has...

Only if Raven gets tired of being my DM.

ok. 1 luck from Gran and Marissa, 2 from Luc anf Nan. I seem to be playing favorites.

...and after Marissa is all finished with the door and "safely" inside, she grabs a doll in each hand and faces the door from inside, holding them out as if to show them to whoever comes through the door.

I'm feeling pretty paranoid about this whole situation, so each of my PCs is going to be burning 6 points of luck on this initiative roll. Gran = 12+2+6 = 20 Marissa = 12+1+6 = 19 Luc = 15+6 = 21 Nan = 3+6 = 9 Gran dashes over to wherever the elf is and starts drawing cards, pausing to investigate i...

OOC: Congrats
OOC: No, you took the tarot. I'm happy to run over and start drawing cards if that's what it takes. Are you ok with that? I like the "show them the doll" idea too.

OOC: Fire, I think it's time for magic. It's been made pretty clear nothing else is going to work. For best effec, suggest one person with the book and one person with the tarot?

OOC: Maybe, but would prefer not to risk my life on that assumption, yet. And I need the rope if I'm going down the well.

OOC: Doesn't matter fire, I'm on my way back. OOC: Thanks for the kind words! All 4 run back to the cabin they just left "Back to the cabin! Never mind these ghoulies, we forgot the rope!" Gran shouts as she leads the way back the way they came, Marissa right behind her, than Luc, and Nan ...

OOC: Oh, crap. Not these guys again.
And a reminder that a TPK is not the end right before what could easily turn into a TPK.
Fight or flee, forward or backward or down the well. I'm gonna need to think about this one

OOC: I dreamed that one of my characters died last night. Haven't dreamed about a rpg in ages.

Gran AC11, 1hp, +2 missile attack, +1 Melee attack, Bridle, small hammer, 1sp 75cp, torch, knife 1d4, short bow 1d6 12 arrows Marissa AC11, 5hp, +1 missile attack, Sling 1d4, club 1d4, 1lb flour, staff 1d4, 35cp, torch, knife 1d4. Luc AC10, 2hp, +1 melee attack, pitchfork 1d8, club 1d4, rag doll, 3...

OOC: Thanks to you both. Back home, but pretty tired. Had at least 25 of the little buggers. I don't think they'll work as dice. Too small, too light, too irregular, and they leave marks. Probably too disgusting for anything other than a horror game anyway. OOC: I'm going to write out my surviving 4...

OOC: A real-life luck score of 9 or 10?
I might be a little slow posting this round. Gallbladder surgery tomorrow and I'm kinda freaking out.

OOC: Gran'll take the bow and arrows. You're down to your last PC fire. .. Go nuts. Take what you like, and I'll distribute the rest.

OOC: Thanks. Now I gotta read up on luck. I don't really get the strategy of when to burn it at zero level. Any hit is going to kill you anyway, so how do you know when to use it? IC: Nan searches the hole to see what she might find. Then they help her out and together search the bedroom, main room,...

Nan tries to hit the beast with her shovel (1+0=1), but she trips and falls down the hole in the floor the beasts came out of. (2 on 1d4 on fumble roll. Missed save) OOC: Woot! finally a fumble! Watching these guys is entertaining.. Luc clubs the creature over the head (12+1=13) and Marissa snatches...
