In reply to Narrator (msg # 757):

"Lets throw it at those other sneezers, Nessa."

She fi wishes moving to the other entrance to block it with a fireball should any approach, but she stays a safe distance back from it.

"Whoa!  The whole point of drowning it was to avoid exploding any of the loot down here!"

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 759):

"It may just be unconscious, and explode when it dies. But those over there are another problem...perhaps it is better if they all pop off together...the barrels won't be carried out by us anyway."

"What do you mean we ain't takin the barrels?  We got a wagon."  He keeps a vigilant eye out whilst making his arguments, "I mean sure, maybe not all the barrels... we could though.  Maybe.  Might have to find another wagon or make two trips."

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 761):

"Or ten trips..." Christine laughs.

"there are a lot of them, and they are not small! Enough for collateral damage without effecting our bottom line."

Since we know not the value of any of them, let us not destroy any if we can safely avoid it.

In reply to Azrael (msg # 763):

"Agreed. But not killing explosive demons is not exactly safely avoiding it..."

Quickly shifting my gaze around making sure nothing is moving toward me and spreading the acrid smell of my candle around.

"I'm in agreement with any plan that doesn't involve explosions or further defilement or destruction."

In reply to Dareos Madrigar (msg # 765):

"I am not sure there is a plan for killing lots of explosive demons that does not involve, well, explosions. Picking each up individually and handing them to Jednessa to drown, or drowning them yourself, may not be practical. It certainly is not practical for me, and I will not stand by while they stab me just to avoid them exploding..."

While everyone else argues, Jednesa sneaks up on the sneezy barrels and tries to spot the little Boombrat.




OOC  02:41, Today: Jednesa rolled 13 using 3d6.  Stealth 13, sneaking up on sneezy barrels.


02:43, Today: Jednesa rolled 13 using 3d6.  Spotting sneezing Boombrat.

If it was straight Perception she fails by 6.  If it's Observation she's not allowed to even roll...  she has no darkness penalties due to Night Vision.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 767):

Something slices at Jednesa's feet, wwhich she does not feel. The drowned one lays in a puddle, unmoving.

In reply to offspring (msg # 768):

Christine seems distracted worrying about the one in the puddle and the one slashing at Jednessa...

"One at your feet Jednessa..."

[Private to GM: Rolled 4 over perception.]

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 769):

There is a rasp of metal as something hits Chris'armored legs.

Jednesa looks down and if she spots the snotty little nightmare will snatch it up.



OOC:  14:24, Today: Jednesa rolled 9 using 3d6.  Wrestling 16, AOA (Determined) +4, Deceptive -4 (-2 to defense).

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 771):

Chris instinctively swings his pick where the attacker should be as he turns around to face it, missing the target...

"Anyone be hurt?"

In reply to Chris (msg # 772):

The doomchild at Chris's armored heels springs back, chuckling and then sneezing loudly.

"This demon about to be..." she chuckles and than smashes the one in her hand into the ground.



OOC:  Attack maneuver, the "Smash" half of a Grab and Smash.

15:16, Today: Jednesa rolled 14 using 3d6.  Brawling* 16, smashing Doomchild into the ground.

15:25, Today: Jednesa rolled 15 using 3d6+4.  Smash damage, 3d6 thr, +3 for Trained bonus, +1 for hard surface.

* I put Wrestling in the dice roller, but on looking up Smash and Grab I noted I could use Brawling.  The skills are the same so I 'switched' over for the greater damage bonus.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 775):

"Always best to throw one into another if you can, Jednessa...Chris can you step back for a bit and be ready to hit it if it gets close?"

She throws her fireball at the one near Chris.[Private to GM: Rolled 4 under skill to hit, 4 damage.]

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 776):

As Christine sets the little stabber ablaze, Jednesa smathes the other to the ground, where it exploses loudly, setting the Ogress ablaze.
The blast sets off the other, setting Chris ablaze!
[Private to Jednesa:12 pts burning before DR, your hair is on fire][private to Chris: 12 points before DR]

Christine creates a gallon of water over Chris, then Jednessa, to douse the flames.[Private to GM: Rolled 7 under, then six under, Create water. Taken fp off Christine and applied damage to Chris.]

Watching carefully, I peer over my shield in every direction not currently covered by my allies to be sure we see it coming.  If one approaches me, I'm ready to shove it back with my shield.

Jednesa gives Christine a big thumbs up and large toothy grin and then goes back to squinting around for more smashably explosive Boombrats.

Stenet tries to get an eye on how much damage the twin explosions did to their (potential) loot, while keeping watch on his row.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 781):

"Jednessa, that is why it is better if they explode together further away.. Less burning."

She recasts fireball...

[Private to GM: Critical success on fireball creation...what is effect, given fp cost is already zero? Rolled natural 4, skill 16.]
