Shiny,
That's fine.
Maybe you were only gone for a day, but you kinda have a habit of bailing for a week, or a month without saying anything, and I can't keep track of it. I've sat on your turn for a couple days before until I figured out you were going to be gone for an extended period.
Also, it's all well and good if you want to fart around on fawtl, but other people might want to play at the same time. I mean, I really can't tell if you're not going to fart around on fawtl tonight and disappear for two weeks, and don't take this the wrong way, but I suspect that you can't either, so that's......pretty much where I'm coming from.I do it too; I got life stuff too. Everybody does, and pretty much everybody here is gone some of the time, and it's really not that big a dealyo. If I stopped the game every time somebody was gonna go off for a week, the game would totally stop, man.
So the gone guy kinda falls down a hole, or disappears into the fey realms, or gets kidnapped by mindflayers and plugged into a weird soma injecting meditation machine to be used to try and break into the Dreamlands because mindflayers can't astrally project into the human dreamlands and they need a dwarf to attempt it because humans are too flimsy and they always die when they're used....but life goes on, man.
That's how I keep it rolling. If I don't, it won't go anywhere.
The beetle fells e1 with two blows from its mandibles.
Yes, they're pretty much lawful evil.
JGG's up....
:)
The vine-covered Jolly Green Giant reaches into a bag on is waist, pulls out two rocks, each the size of a small house, and hurls them at the efriit.
Yeah, one more because I think he's hasted.
Oh; which one's in the wall of thorns?
AND the magically sped JGG hurls one more rock, which bursts into flame as it speeds unerringly into the forehead of the offending Efriit.
The last one hits.....knocks out his incisors.
e2 turns into gaseous form, and retreats outta the wall of thorns about 15 feet north of his position.
e4 wails on Claw.
Hits twice, doesn't confirm either critical....
Claw takes nothing from heat.
perception, d.c. 25
Stiggy's up, then it's group's attack.
"There!" Gjetost points his club upwards. "Something approaches!"
<Stig looks up, fumbles for his flask....>
For fortification.....hic....
:
Pip looks around
"What?"
Stiggy:
<Mid-draught, Stig sees something, choking on his frost giant vodka.>
*cough*
<In a booming enlarged Stig voice: "Lads, et's a big flyin' feckin' archer."
Huzzah!!!
"What? Where? Dammit, I can't see a blasted thing through all this smoke."
"Where is the bowman? I'll knock him right out of the sky."
<Stig waves his flask up at at a wisp in the clouds.>
"'E was up thaur abit."
Stiggy:
he was right above you, at 30 feet, when you saw him winging over.
Stiggy:
** spoiler omitted **
"Abune me heed. 30 feit up."
huzzah!!!
Pip looks up where Stig gestured to
Yeah; you see it too. It's about 40 feet north of Stiggy's prior spotting now, at 30 feet above ground. A large being in black plate, with a bow, riding a huge red dragon....

Pip racks his brains for anything he knows about big fire giants riding red dragons
Efreeti air cav.
He must be pretty effin badass cos he's on a huge dragon instead of a huge nightmare.
Efreeti air cav.
"YEEK!"
Pip dives for cover among the rubble (tucking the last few mithril cogs in his pouch as he goes).
Stealth:
He shouts to the others as he nocks his bow.
"Eyes to the skies guys! We need some ADA but fast!"
heh heh heh
Elgan swings his avian head around, spots something through the clouds, and squawks in what sounds like a cry of success. His personal thundercloud spits another lightning bolt,...
It's pretty much everybody's turn right now...
Having dispatched one ifrit, Gjetost turns upon the next one.
Claw once again fails to hit his opponent.
The massive beetle gives chase after the gaseous ifrit; finding its path blocked, it stops and eats Elgan's summoned shrubbery instead.
“What? What exactly is up there?” asks Beldan nervously, seeing the response of those who have seen what is above
Having dispatched one ifrit, Gjetost turns upon the next one.
Claw once again fails to hit his opponent.
Gjetost demolishes his foe, though the crit was unconfirmed....
Anybody have anything they want to try on the gaseous efreet?
Looks like Gjetost, Claw, ant the beetle are the only ones who have acted this round....
The dragon and rider have been seen, but it's too hard to tell where they are due to all the damn smoke....
“What? What exactly is up there?” asks Beldan nervously, seeing the response of those who have seen what is above
"Jist some flyin' monkies laddie."
huh. Missed this. You can, but he's a cloud of smoke at the moment.
huh.
Sounds good to me.
Beldan whips around his lightning thrower and (if possible) fires it at the retreating efreet.
That's all she wrote.
The cloud of efreeti disperses...
There's a thud, really loud, like.....a dragon landing to the north.
A lone solitary medium sized......human, he looks Mwangi, and dressed in gold and silk, comes striding through the smoke from the north.
"Greetings! My Lord treats thee for parley. He is mighty, and ruthless.....some would say almost dispicably so, but they are truly jealous and not at all worthy of his consideration! It is a great honor for you all to meet him."
He holds a snowy white silk in his hand by way of peace flag. It seems to shine radiantly in the smoky haze.
You guys have some major damage pumpers in this crew, man....
