Masugatan tries to remedy this by chucking a throwing axe at the bottle.

07:01, Today: Masugatan rolled 12 using 3d6.  Throwing axe.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 112):

the axe shatters the vial, which errupts in a ball of green flame!


Jednesa is once again singed, daffy duck vs shotgun style, and takes 2 points of damage post DR

Jednesa ignores her smoldering flesh and whacks at the rainbow jelly twice.




OOC:  All Out Attack (Double), mace pokes.

15:05, Today: Jednesa rolled 7, 12, 8, 13 using 3d6,3d6,3d6+3,3d6+3.  Two attacks, Axe/Mace 13.  Potential damage 3d+3 cr.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 114):

Emma watches the effects of the fire, and of Jednessa. If Jednessa seems to have little effect, she will ask her to step back.

Looking for an opportunity to fire past her big friend, she will fire her sunbolt only if she gets a clear shot.

[Private to GM: Rolls 8 under skill to hit, 4 damage.]

Has Christine finished looking at the book yet?

The younger sister loads her sling with a stone from her pouch, and begins to aim, the loaded pouch swinging below her hand.

In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 115):

the book is magically sealed.
the slime is changing color,and burning,  but from your vantage you cannot gaet an idea as to its health

In reply to Narrator (msg # 117):

Christine is able to recover the book without too much trouble? If the slime is burning, she does not want to put it out with acid...

But perhaps she could use the fire to call Crispin?

Tired of feeling and looking useless, Masugatan changes his mind and takes a swing at the vile jelly.

10:37, Today: Masugatan rolled 11 using 2d6+3.  Cut dam.
10:37, Today: Masugatan rolled 4 using 3d6.  To hit Butcher’s blade (broadsword).

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 119):

Masugatan's might blow splits the jellified mass, spattering goo everywhere.  The butcher's blade seems to have struck something vital in the creature!

In reply to oozing mass (msg # 120):

there is enough fire to call crispin!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 121):

Then Christine will stop with the book and call her friend!

[Private to GM: Rolled 12, standard Frequency of Appearance, for Crispin.]

Elaina continues to aim (at the half with a clearer shot), just in case.

"How do we tell if it's dead, anyway?"

Masugatan observes his handiwork.  Is anything still moving?

Jednesa takes a poke at it to make sure, but again goes for a wind up, the axe snags in the stairs and is pulled from her grip.  She growls angrily and stomps the jelly out of frustration.




OOC:  All-Out Attack (Double).

00:00, Today: Jednesa rolled 17, 11, 15, 14 using 3d6,3d6,3d6+3,3d6+3.  Two attacks, Axe/Mace 13.  Potential damage 3d+3 cr.

00:04, Today: Jednesa rolled 10 using 3d6.  Critical miss.

Critical miss, second attack converted to a stomp (Brawling 16), doing the same damage, 36+3 for 14 cr danage.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 125):

as Jednesa stops the charred, oozing mass, a ball of flame forms from the fires on it...
the slime is still twitching, but is no longer gmforming new pseudopods.
between Jednesa and her feet, and Masugatan and the Butcher's Blade, the burnt thing is nearly done

In reply to Fire elemental (msg # 126):

"Emma, please watch over the little sun here, while I grab this book.
Crispin, please follow Emma's directions."

She goes back to working out the book. How is it sealed, and what sort of magic might be required to open it?

[Private to GM: Christine rolled a Natural crit, 3 for Thaumatology! WTH, a couple of critical failures, and now suddenly a couple of critical successes?]

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 127):

Emma was surprised at Christine's suggestion. Sure the small living fire had a lot in common with the sun, but she had never directed it.

"Umm, Crispin, please don't burn Jednessa. We need to make sure this ooze is done for. Please feel free to consume it though."

The door is open, right? If there is a shortage of light there, then Emma will move down the steps to squeeze past Jednessa to light the room, concerned about a flaming ball leading the way into a possible flammable storeroom.

As Emma squeezes by, Jednesa is busy scraping her foot off on the wall.

Masugatan carefully wipes any jelly residue from his Butcher’s Blade.  He has the feeling the stuff wasn’t intended to be used as sword polish.

"What was that thing?  There's nothing like that in the lakes and swamps we know."

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 127):

the book is secured with Magelock, either Lockmaster, Counterspell:magelock or its password will open it.


you suspect it to be sealed with a strength of 15...to get all meta

In reply to Narrator (msg # 132):

Christine tries Lockmaster...[Private to GM: Rolled 6 under skill.]

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 133):

the dimunitive alchemist struggles to peer at the book
"A formulary! and spots the highly erotic marginalia drawn on nearly every page "With pornography!"


make a fright check. All actions are at -1 even if you succeed.

In reply to McNealy (msg # 134):

Christine threw the book towards Crispin in disgust, controlling her fears.

"How disgusting! Crispin, destroy this rubbish!"

[Private to GM: She rolled 8 under will, but destroying it is entirely in character all the same!]

At first, Masugatan is confused.  Then his primitive street brain fully evaluates what he just heard, confirms the world 'pornography' really was mentioned, and a look of joyous bliss transforms his face.

"Maybe I should check that book for traps.  Alone."
