When Gareth is no longer under attack from the 'horror' amelia goes back to guarding the group's rear.

Berry claps. Then thinks. Then speaks. "Maybe I should always assume I need to blast if you guys are swinging? Unless its obviously a golem or something..."

The Adept again thrusts


[Private to GM:    10:06, Today: Adept Yisslitheniss rolled 8 using 3d6.  Sword thrust   same routine, aims for nervous system/spine and rolls a 1 again.
10:06, Today: Adept Yisslitheniss rolled 4 using 1d6+3.  Sword thrust Damage. .]

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 668):

the uncounscous smoking body twitches when you stab it.

meanwhile, Haveron chops off the other arm of his opponent


there is nothing here to burn.  the floor looks to be adamantine like the rest of the tower, and there are no furnishings or ornamentation... or much lighting for that matter...


somewhere out in the outer darkness, you here a pair of growls like these had made... then the sounds of bloodletting!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 669):

"Perhaps we should continue our ascent--rápidamente"

"Lead on," agrees Amelia.

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 671):

Gareth maintains the spell to see if it does destroy the thing, checking the second body to see if it had any valuables when it stops attacking while the other decide what to do next.

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 671):

Safwan waits briefly as Gareth loots the corpses, then resumes the ascent.

Was the noise we heard ahead, behind, or off in some other direction? Perception roll in log if needed.

In reply to Safwan (msg # 673):

the bodies were nude, the only possessions large crude clubs. As you approach the armless, Legless one that Haveton has been chopping up, it tries to bite you!


dodge or take 3 points cutting!

In reply to Void brute (msg # 674):

Roll in log. Fail, but my tough skin reduces the damage to 1 (unless you already accounted for that).

Amelia has another try with her broadsword.

[Private to GM: 20:27, Today: Amelia Montaigne rolled 15,4 using 3d6,1d6.  Broadsword 13.]

In reply to Safwan (msg # 675):

sorry, that was for Gareth, as he was checking for valuables,  damage to ankle/foot

In reply to Narrator (msg # 677):

Gareth jumps back out of the way, belching flame as he does so. The burning death target still here? Spell is being maintained...

[Private to GM: Retreating dodge, 2 under dodge, breathe fire, 9 under skill, 4 damage. Still maintaining the burning death. This was not the same one, was it?]

Berry fires a mystic bolt at the horror.

Mystic Bolt Damage (no attack required!)

16:11, Today: Berry rolled 4 using 1d6-2.  Mystic Bolt.
Cosmic Damage

In reply to Berry (msg # 679):

these creatures are on the order of "Too stupid to know when they are dead" and despite having no limbs, it was still tryiying to attack

In reply to Void brute (msg # 680):

And the ongoing effect of burning death on that one?

As progress seems to be stalled again, Amelia turns to keep watch for anything behind the party.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 681):

slowly reducing it to char. you need the Death Spell "Cremate" to do this quickly.


in the distance you can hear metal on stone

He Moves toward the sound carefully and on guard.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 684):

Sure, happy for that. Wanted to see if it would finally get rid of it. Has the other one stopped moving, or does it need further destruction?

In reply to Gareth (msg # 685):

despite bei g limbless and stabbed multiple times and being on fire, it is still going!

in the gloom. Amelia can see nothi g comi g up the stairs, and Yissthenis spots another floating set of stairs up, about 2 yards wide, also without risers or sides.


the noise is coming from above....

In reply to Void brute (msg # 686):

"We must prepare for another batalla if we wish to continue upwards."

Amelia suggests, "Hey Gareth, does that mean you have time to make a really hot fireball?"

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 688):

Gareth once again casts a spell, in preparation for the upcoming fight.

He considers using it on the creature below him, but it can be dealt with later.

"Good idea Berry. I could use some healing before we get there." He says, as his staff takes a sickly red glow.

[Private to GM: Rolled a natural 3 to cast this spell!]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 689):

roll again for critical weirdness
