Let the cry of Bueller go forth once more and rally our forces!

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

See if it works twice, or if it's Vancian and I get it once per "day".

Despite the nearly irresistible curiosity, Kylessa averts her eyes from the tank containing the so -called "medusa-fish hybrid". Unwilling to touch the strange orange material besmirching the tome, she resolves herself to sate her appetite for arcane lore on less tainted fare hoped for farther in. ...

Kylessa moves toward the book carefully, eyeing the cages warily with dagger drawn. Could this be the mad doctor's notes? Or better yet, a spellbook? She eyes the open pages not wanting to touch the gelatinous substance unless she must.

What's it say? What's it say?

WHEW! I can post again! I was on some weird Spamhaus blacklist for a couple days... was I hacked? Anyway... Kylessa raises a cautionary gesture to Obadiah as he starts for the door and whispers: "We may not want to announce ourselves just yet- perhaps we try an unexpected angle?" Is the door the onl...

"I can take my lumps like the lot of ye- shall I go first then, maybe scout for a bit?"

...as in, shall we send her first since she hasn’t been hit yet and you two have?

Kylessa enthusiastically claps Hodin and Obadiah on the back, grinning furiously. "Good show, gentlemen!" Then, quietly, "Why do you suppose the other two didn't attack?" Considering this (and their responses) for a minute, she shrugs and begins collecting a sample of the twitchy meat. Heh, "twitch...

Hodin will attempt the same action/deed on the remaining contraption: striking it with his longsword and using his deed to push it backward (or to the ground).

Deed roll 1d4 = 1
Atk roll 1d20+1+1 = 22 (rolled a Nat 20)
Dmg roll 1d8+1+1 = 9

NICE!

Kylessa cries out delighted at the demise of the construct: "Good one, boys! We got 'em on the ropes!"

She lobs another stone at the remaining animated horror...

..but misses by a country mile.

Obadiah lets out a stream of curses as the club strikes him, and lashes out with his spear, aiming low in an attempt to strike the thing and then flip it over on its back like a crab.

Deed roll 1d4=4
Atk roll 1d20+5=17
Dmg roll 1d8+5=8

Nice hit! He’s gonna feel that one!

Murmuring an incantation, Kylessa quickly produces a knife and pricks her finger. She then pops her bloodied digit into the mouth of her doll, nursing it on her Strength to power her spells once more... Spellcheck 14+2=16 (spellburned 1 STR for a lost spell) ...and a single burning missile whistles...

Clearly unnerved by the manikins' sudden movement, Kylessa jumps a bit and fires a wild shot with her sling at one of their heads,

Init=19, att 11+2+13, dmg=1

She shrinks back from the bizarre sight of the "guards" moving toward Obadiah and Hodin.

The casting of Spider Climb with the roll I made should last 10 minutes, along with the mercurial effect of extra eyes. Just let me know when the time has elapsed, GB.

Woohoo! the Call of Bueller spell did not go unheeded! :mrgreen: I was beginning to worry! Kylessa nods at Obadiah's suggestion, then moves cautiously to inspect the manikins, wary that they might spring to life at any moment. She'll poke at them with a dagger, maybe tipping a hat back to get a bet...

Bueller? Bueller?

The Triad attains the top of the wall and moves cautiously toward the gatehouse. The figures atop the roof do not stir as you draw nearer and nearer, until a flash of lightning illuminates them in the dark -- some sort of scarecrows or the like, they do not move as you approach and their clothing s...

... a Warrior with such strength to command need not fear a rope!

(The hangmen of several towns beg to differ on that point with some of my characters, but I digress... )

...Every so often along the run, there is a series of projections, obviously meant for archers to rest their arrows against, in a siege. It would be no trick to choose one of these that's less weathered than the others to anchor a rope to... She will do so (is there a roll? 17 on the die if so), th...

Back to the wall, Kylessa takes the rope from Obadiah in one hand, clutching Mara in the other, She closes her eyes and begins to chant something under her breath... Spider Climb spellcheck: 18+3=21 The caster gains the actual climbing ability of a spider, even when using gloves and shoes, and when...

If the others are amenable, he'll ready his arms, light his lantern, hang it from his pack and head out. Hodin is amenable. He nods his approval while cleaning clay off his sword, then scabbards it. Kylessa huffs and stows Mara and time he clay in her pack: “You don’t look like either of you’re of ...

Kylessa carves off a pound or so of clay, wrapping it in anything she can find on hand, and stuffs it into her pack for later use.
”Are we going out in the middle of this storm? Mara doesn't like to get wet...”

...also, I lost my best damaging spell, lol.

Kylessa replies:
”Yes, yes! If you’re gonna go see this doctor I’m going to! I wanna see what other toys and tricks he may have...”
Can she carve off a bit of the clay that forms them, or tell anything about what they are?

Kylessa smiles, her fingers reaching out toward the strange creatures as she intones again...
Magic Missle spellcheck 10 -Lost. Failure.
...her eyes widen and smile fades as the spell fizzles out! She scolds her doll: "Don't be shy NOW, Mara!"

Ooh! If that’s an option I could bring Brun AND Kylie at level 1- just as they were in Punjar! Whaddya think?

edit: disregard! I’ll stick with what I have, plus a little gear!
