Well there is plenty of flanking, thrusting, breaching barriers and claiming spoils of war so I think he can manage.

Hah!
Once more into the breach my friends, to fight the last good fight you'll ever know.

Into the jaws of death!

"No no, not the spine, she NEEDS the spine!"

LOL

You bring up an excellent point. If anything, it sounds like his specialty.

One beastly massage coming right up.

Don't forget AoO's now.
And in case you need a morale bonus, Derek is happy to help.
But if you need flanking, Appario is better for a sneak attack.

-cheers for the bard-

You'd think, with all the drinking, Derek's system would be accustomed to dealing with large loads of poison by now.

Derek's system is just happy to try out new and exotic flavors :)

What flavor do you think the current poison has?

Considering that desired trip-AoO: It would have made for a pretty funny scene at the bottom of the pit, with Xerath trying his best to withstand the stalker in close combat :)

What flavor do you think the current poison has?

A pretty nasty one, considering the Bestiary describes it as a foul-smelling paste :)

On the plus side, we'll get to use all those Lesser Restoration Potions we've been stockpiling!

Way to be positive!

Yup!

I hadn't excepted Yahirma to swoop in with the Remove Blindness. Suddenly my Evolution Surge seems like a terrible idea.

Way to be positive!

Ayep! As a bull, he's charged.

I hope you feel bad about that one.

Argh! Too. Bad. Pun. :)

For the record, I would not be disappointed if Walcourt was the last we saw of dark creepers/stalkers... ever. =P

It will be; no worries there :)

(well, assuming you defeat the master vampire, who's also responsible for bringing the dark folk into the council fold)

There might be one or two down in the dungeon level, though..

We can't fail now!

We have an audience. =P

You can't disappoint the audience! Robahl Nonon would have you charge on down to the dungeons immediately, with no rest and no option for retreat!

If everyone gets out of this, Maddok can have a cameo at the Mermaid's Grotto with Andrea and Fiosa.

Crossover!

I think there's a reference I'm missing.

Speaking of poison and tastes, I wish Derek had the "Pick your poison" spell right about now.
When it is cast, instead of taking the normal penalties for failing a fort save against poison, you get the penalties of having a strong drink.
How's THAT for a fair trade.

As for bad puns, don't forget the ones remaining.
Maddok being a bull-y, taking the bull by the horns etc

And since we are talking about a crossover that probably involves bed...Watch it you don't make a blanketed statement, make sure you quilt when you are ahead, not that you need to give a sheet about what I think.

That would actually be a very cool spell. Specialty priest spell perhaps?

*Puns*

I knew Appario was a bad influence. Look what you've done to my little brother!

Lolz.

With those puns, you're abed of the game, Derek. You're fut-onning a show!

I blame it on having more poison than blood being pumped into my brain.

As for the spell, Bards get to pick it as well, just that I had other spells I wanted first, go figure.

As a final note, I'd go for bedbugs before impailing.

This is the most posting we've gotten in rapid succession in a while!

Derek what time do you typically retire for the evening?

Depends, on a work day, I'd have been in bed already, when I'm free I tend to stay up til I get sleepy.
My schedule is very...haphazard right now.

Vigilante superhero haphazard or the bad kind?

Well, I don't have a bunch of women fans with my poster on the wall if we put it like that.

Ah, bummer.

Well I hope your situation improves (whatever it is).

Well, it is unlikely, I'm just not that lucky, and the state of the worlds economy doesn't help. But thanks.

Right, half past midnight and all is well.
Time for bed, don't get into too much trouble while I'm sleeping ok?

No promises!

Oh Shiii! We got sucked into the Knot by a touchy-feely ranger! No spoilers but this is right after getting tenderized by that Blood Reaver.

Might have to skip the party, Maddok.

But Derek said you'd do body shots!

***

You guys will be okay. You have a kick-ass team.

Andrea will be sure to do some belly-dancing on the table for you.

Now..how do we convince a 3 foot halfling not to run screaming into the night when she sees you?

Oh comon! Please don't abuse the 0-level commoners. ;_;

Simple, my dear! Find a halfling that seldom opens her eyes!

I think I like where this is going!

Trout, don't you have a game to run?

Simple, my dear! Find a halfling that seldom opens her eyes!

Oh there you are, you Elusive Trout...I see you hiding.

I was worried you tuna'd us out. Now that you're back, if you need anything, let minnow.

If you keep this up, the game is going to flounder.

Not right now. My players haven't made up their minds about how they're going to approach their next objective.
I won't railroad for another 24 hours.

Edit: Ah, good ole' puns.

At this point I think you all are just fishing for compliments.

Not you too!

At this point I think you all are just fishing for compliments.

Complements for fish?

Like surf and turf?
Or tartar sauce?
Or twist of lemon?

/me confuzzled.

Like surf and turf?

Missed opportunity.

What can I say? I've been hooked!

Poor Maddok, talk about swimming against the current.
Fish travels in schools you know, want to join in the fun?
I can teach you, I'm a very good t(r)out.
