Goodman Games

Yeah. I'm truly not one to talk :p

attack roll to throw it off: 13
attack roll to stomp: 16

both unmodified, have to get to my sheet at some point (would the thrashing use STR or Agility?)

Running away through the corn field is as effective now as in a slasher movie. lol, yes. How many of these dolls are there? Are they chasing us through the corn field, or are they climbing all over us? And how are they attacking? With teeth or claws or magic...? And if they're running after us: wow...

OOC: Should we cue the "two women running through cornfield from evil wicker dolls" sequence? this would be a great movie moment.

Amalthia will flee with Gran, dropping all the cornhusk dolls she'd been carrying this whole time. (Dangit!) "This horrible place! Why would they attack us? And why bother with making those dolls in the first place?!" the elf huffs with the effort of running, but speeds with her companion ...

How subway-accessable is this?

And away we go! To the Cornfield we go!

ooc: do we HAVE the mending spell? I'm feeling very resource-lite right now. Unless we get the staff together, or discover some power from the holy symbol (neither of us are Clerics, so I'm not sure we'd have access to anything it's got), I'm not sure what we can do. Avoiding "meta-thinking&quo...

ooc: Hmmm... I'm not sure what we'd gain by attacking the mimic. Maybe there's something we can use on the staff to put the pieces together. Amalthia puts on the hold symbol, calls out "Sovereign, avenge your fallen servant, and help us here. Mend this, your staff, so that it can be used to smi...

Markers: Hrmm... fair enough. Any sign of whether they're recent or old? Someone would have had to have buried them/dug graves. If this tragic event happened suddenly, someone would have needed to bury the dead. Oddly, too, I recall some mention of the cabins being left virtually untouched: like eve...

OOC: I figure the marker could be a sign of something to dig up, but it's not like any of this is a "hee hee play my marvelous game" type dungeon. If we wreck it and we needed it to protect us from ghosts, then we're done for. That's the thing about this: something is messed up about Sour ...

ooc: We haven't entered the cornfield. Only Murphoi entered the woods, and promptly died by himself (with zero description, I might add, thus making his player believe it was essentially suicide). Does the diary have information we can read? If the graveyard is a relative safe zone, we need info. Ot...

ooc: Amalthea uses the duct tape to put the staff back together. Done! IC: "Hmmm.... devil's thorrrrnnnnnn..." Amalthia thinks, looks at the staff pieces, then the wooden marker. "Gran, you think this marker is important? It has the devil's thorn, like that cabin. Maybe the phantoms c...

OOC: I'm back! Sorry for the delay! IC: Amalthia stows the goat, knowing magic to be a strange force that could help return these lost ones to life. Amalthia scans the markers for symbols, words, anything to help them. "What are we hoping to find here? We have the staff, the symbol. Can we put ...

OOC: well, first let's get me the heck out of here. Then we'll have a look at... the graveyard!!!

Amalthia climbs back up with what strength is left her, glad to be out of those depths as soon as she can be, given the loss of her dear friend Sir Cudsworth.

If we can get through this adventure, we'll need to hole up for a while. Maybe your clan's home would be a good starter base?

OOC: Hmmm... I wonder if that's the sort of thing a Patron would do?

IC: Amalthia calls out that she has the symbol, and grabs some of Nan's belongings (ax? flametongue? ring of three wishes?)

Amalthia sobs as she searches through the well for the holy symbol, and any other useful items she can find. Before she finishes, she will grab the remaining belongings from Nan, hoping they can get the fallen woman's last remaining relative to safety. OOC: Should I roll luck? And if we have burned ...

OOC: Woo hoo! Okay, here's my level 1 Elf. She knows Patron Bond and Invoke Patron, as elves have been preparing for help from a patron for some time. That said, would her experience be enough to trigger/finalize this bond, as in her case (unlike Arvandra, but other PC) she'd presumably already done...

OOC: Still here! Sorry, very distracted. Going to check back on the last few pages.

OOC: Yay!

OOC: Yeesh!

IC:

Amalthia wastes no time, but batters at the creature with all her might: it's make or break time!

Roll: 16! 1d6 damage: 4!

Initiative: 13+1=14 Amalthia, sensing that only heroic action can save her now, moves around behind the creature as it heads towards Nan. Hefting the broken staff, she attacks with as much power as she can: she knows her life is in peril, and this is the only way to save herself and her friends. Scr...

OOC: Do you have a lantern? If not, Gran helps you tie one on so both hands are free. Nan watches for phantoms. Good luck, and come back quick if you need to. We can always send Nan......

Woo hoo! Okay, this means (thanks to Guang) I had a lantern!

OOC: can I burn luck to avoid being hit? I'm unsure if we made it official, but I remember discussing putting a lantern on Amalthia's belt before descending. I'll double check. Failing that, she'll take the momentary distraction to rush in and whack the stick-creature with the (magical?) cudgel. But...
