Has Altai ever heard about anything like the cactus-man before? Knowledge (nature) 13+7=20.
Let me look at d20srd for a minute.
Yeah; you've heard rumors in the Sea of Dust, of cactus men. They hide from people usually. Xenophobic. (can ya blamem?) ;)

Could I get him with a Glitterdust? That gets a 10' radius, and since he's playing the invisy card ..

From the srd,
Targeted Dispel
One object, creature, or spell is the target of the dispel magic spell. You make a dispel check (1d20 + your caster level, maximum +10) against the spell or against each ongoing spell currently in effect on the object or creature. The DC for this dispel check is 11 + the spell’s caster level. If you succeed on a particular check, that spell is dispelled; if you fail, that spell remains in effect.
If you target an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by monster summoning), you make a dispel check to end the spell that conjured the object or creature.

Ogay....
The mul moves to e23; Pip can aoo him on the plank.
The mul misses wee Pip.
The kongamato hits Elgan with his warhammer; Elgan takes 7 dmage.
Another owl appears where the first one was dispelled; it claws Oso for 7 h.p.
From the doorway at i18, a bugbear/dire boar tauroid (Pip remembers him being introduced as MONGO) crashes through the burning wall bellowing. He pulls his tulwar and advances to gh23-24, hitting Pip for 25 h.p. in damage.
Players' turn.
Again, if Stiggy shows up tonite, he can emerge from below and attack...

I remember the cactus-men from China Mieville as well - good steal. What's next - Inchmen? Those odd mosquito-men from that quarantined island in The scar?
Altai fires rays of fire at the newcomer.
For some reason I first read the description as a bugbear/dire toad tauroid... Casting Scorching ray at ol' Mongo. Ray 1 hits touch AC 16, damage 17 fire. Ray 2 hits touch AC 17, damage 16 fire.
| Altai Iscarni |
I gotta recheck the Mieville special Dragon ran. Sadly, what I remember best was the angry commenters on the messageboard who didn't like the books because of all the political stuff and long words, as well as the lack of Drizzt-style fight scenes between Uther Doul and the Brucolac.

AoO: 1d20+7=21(22 with IC on), 1d8+1=4 (5 w/IC on)

EEEP!
Pip's normal atk: 1d20+7=12(13), 1d8+1=2(3)
Reeling from the massive damage the Bugtaur has sliced him with, Pip reacts poorly.

Hmm....maybe I could turn my pbp into a political morality play of some sort.
Okay....they're not pirates. They're.....medieval venture capitalists.| Pendobar 'Pip' Bushytoe |

Long as you don't dis HP Lovecraft.
| dungeonmaster heathy |
You see....
| Elgan Dreadwood |
Hah! Best Lovecraft-flaovered book yet,... "Shadows over Baker Street" HP Meets S. Holmes. Good stuff. I read the Dragon stuff on Meilville when they ran it. I remember thinking I should check out his books. Haven't gotten around to it yet,...
Okay mr DM, I have a challenge for you. Lets bend the rules just a TEENY bit. It's dog-fightin' time! ;D
ElganHAwk Screeches in pain, flaps backwards to get away from the batman, and then Dives, towards the deck of the ship.
Folding his wings at the last second, Elganhawk dives THROUGH the rigging of the mainmast, twisting to avoid becoming entangled in the ropes. He calls back with a laughing, mocking screech. The hawk-ish equivalent of, "Nyahh,Nyahh, Nyah, Nyahhh, Nyahh!!"
He then turns, aiming for the plank,...
Does anyone else hear "Danger Zone" in the background?,...
| Elgan Dreadwood |
You're able to pull it off; he takes a swipe at you that catches air.
Do youse wanna end up somewhere over the ship, or on the deck?
Heh. Sorry, was tired last night. Still flying, Basic idea here is an oldie but a goodie. Get him to follow me, and lead him thru/past something that I can get by but he can't. I was thinking Gittik,... ;)
| Pendobar 'Pip' Bushytoe |
I like them too. Did think Gittik might turn me down but I like the flying halfling more than the flying cleric.
Oso grins at Pip, "that owl, you owned it man."
mutter mutter - wish I coulda hit it
Pip winces, trying to stanch the blood spurting from his side
"Yeah I got him, But Mongo the Bugtaur did for me."
If no one heals me I'll be doing a CMW on my next turn.

“Eeek!”
After seeing what he saw in the water, Beldan hurriedly climbs back to the top of the wharf.
Climb: 7+11 = 18.
Once up above again he’ll assess the situation.
The bugpigbear is right next to where you're coming up, and as he is massive, loud, and reeks of pigscat, there is no way to miss this fact. He'll get an aoo with the tulwar; are you sure you want to do that?
| Beldan Vale |
Nah … popping his head out from cover, Beldan sees / smells / hears the bugpig and thinks better of climbing up right here. Trying to be as stealthy as possible Move Silently: 7+17 = 24, Beldan edges along the side of the wharf to a position that will put one of his allies between him and the monster.
Sorry, I’ve lost track of the map and everyone’s position with everyone flyin’ and zippin’ about and such.
| dungeonmaster heathy |
Gittik's on him, but he's up in the air; you can get down that way a ways though and end up in g26 or so.
The nasty thing doesn't see the rogue, and he pops up at g26. He can see an eruption of blood where the mul went down underwater...
Riese; Stiggy....I guess if somebody wants to run Stiggy go ahead...
| Riese |
Riese eyes up the Hog-o-bugbear thing and says, "Oh I do love the smell of bacon in the air! Imbelia furtion de'flar-imbelia!!!". A bolt of flame and force appears, glowing white hot, and streaks of to hit the creature. 5d6+6=24 from an Arcane Thesised Fiery Riese's Firebolt, DC17 reflex for half. Hey! I got fire in my fire! Two great tastes...
