Heathy's Isle of Dread Thread

Game Master Heathansson

"Ah means, yew tried 'splainin' dis tew me wunce. Deh angels' caint reely be deestroyed, jes her physical form kilt. Raight? Sew she ain't reely ded. Jes',... well, probably pi$$ed off an' sech. Ah guess?" He asks Altai.

Elgan looks and sounds very much like he is trying to convince himself, not any party member.

"Um,... Kin we git outta here yit? Er iz we still waitin fer an invite?"

Satari, alert to Elgan's palpable moral distress, tries to ease the druid's heart. "As I remember, she stepped willingly into the machine to speed us on our mission. A worthy sacrifice, and one I hope she does not regret, wherever her essence now rests."

"Altai, can we proceed? Or do we need some new form of motive power? If so we may find a willing volunteer beneath the waves." Satari shudders with repressed memories of lambent green possession. ... kill me or free me...

The.....vampire....was freed from its gas tank by the dybbuks; it's back in there now though.

It couldn't get too far.

"Okay Altee. Ah lahks yer new ride en all. But DAT t'ing iz jes',... creepy." he finishes lamely, indicating the box.

"Dere's got teh be a betteh way teh make eh ship go,..." he murmurs.

Not if you ask a moonbeast

nitey nite!!!

Elgan look at Satari thoughtfully. The monk seems to be preoccupied with the waves. Or perhaps what they left under the waves. For a moment the little druid's features soften, and he resembles the monk he observes. Then he gives a swift shudder, like a dog shaking itself awake, and resumes his usual elvin appearance.

"C'mon Altee. Les git. Deh sooner we goes, deh sooner we kin kitch up teh our fren'. Ah t'inks ah've hed aboot enuff uv dis place. Ah'm reddy teh git back to deh reel wurld."

Elgan looks around at the weird sky.

"Mebbe if'n ah pinches mahsef reel hard,..." He is heard to murmur.

There's some flickering, a way's off, at the tower, from whence most of your recent new friends have emerged.

Green eldritch light.

Nitey nite!!!

"Ah, H@LL no!"

"C'mon Altee, tell me we're NOT goin' towar's deh laight?!?"

"What else can we do in a place like this? I don't like this any more than you do."

Elgan looks at Altai, then shrugs in his usal, calm, all-accepting way.

What is unusual is his muttering in elvish afterwords.

Elvish:

To those who speak elvish, it is a sign of how upset he is that his quaint common accent is being reflected in his native tongue.

Of course Altai speaks Elvish!

Altai shrugs, before replying to Elgan in an unusual language.

Druidic:

Pip grins

elvish

Pip looks towards the green light, smile fading

"Let's hope we have a soul left to reincarnate, shall we?"

Emreal silently watches the others, at peace with her place in the multiverse at this moment.

"Speaking of souls - get everybody on deck. Crew, pets, everyone. I want to make sure we're not hosting any more of those dybbuks before we go anywhere."

"Tru Dat."

How do you want to go about that?....

This is where we suffer from our lack of a paladin or cleric. However, I have a backup plan: We line each and every living thing up on deck, before I summon an archon who goes nuts with Detect evil. It's a start.

The Oldest Salt amongst the crew, who has one eye, and one nostril, and one complete arm with 3 fingers, and a peg leg, and a shoulder perching thing that looks half monkey and half mangy scarlet macaw, says "I'll teel ye son;" to Altai; who is taken aback that this incomplete jigsaw of a man would infer with a wink of his one eye and a sniff of his one nostril and a wiggle of his ears both of which have been docked in some barroom foofaraw or another would infer sireage in this manner, "them dibbuckey duppies are known fer hidin' in inanumate objects, or objects that should be inanumate but orrint.....aswill as able bodied seamen...." to which the mangymonkeymacaw adds "RAAAAAAAAK! ABLEBODIED! ABLEBODIED!" whilst leering unabashedly at the nereid.

Elgan glares at the monkey-macaw critter, then shrugs.

When the critter is right, it's right.

"Sew waitaminute. Yew mean dem t'ings kin hide in purt near anyt'ing?!? Naw how inholyheck ur we suppozzed teh fine sumthin' that kin hide anywhere's? Kin they jump frum one tew deh udder real quick? Er does it take tahme? If'n they's quick deys gonna be hard teh ketch."

Exhibit A:
The Dybbuk Box

Can't quite find the original ebay auction.

Pip picks his teeth with one of his arrows

"Any of these dybbuk-thingies want to dance I got a whole quiver full of healy missiles"

"Dybbuks are undead demons. Sort of. So that'll work well."

"Oh well. In that case, nobody goes anywhere alone. If anything unusual happens, run and get me. Now, let's head over to the tower."

Got some building to do; might be a day or two.

Getting there; pretty much will probably be ready tonight.

Need Craig, then will get this thing going.

Also, how are you guys approaching the tower? It's a mile through a forest of trees........trees made of flesh, feeding a tribe/nation of vegetarian ghouls.

Pip tucks his arrow away and looks over at the tower

"I can go in invisible and scout the area out. Might be good to check for ambushes or any other unpleasant surprises"

heh heh....heh heh heh.....

j/k

"Perhaps we should approach by air, above the trees? More obvious but far less distasteful than a stroll through those trees."

Emrael nods in agreement.

"We fly. Might as well capitalise on the fact that the ship is... satisfied."

Pip shudders

What's the plan?

Fly Angelchomper to the tower?

Angel Food Cake.....

Elgan hastily and completely agrees.

he wishes to avoid walking through THOSE trees at any and all costs.

Meat tree druids, ftw

"I am glad we are agreed against a stroll in the forest of flesh. Altai is right however, we cannot leave while the shadow of the dybbuk lurks throughout the ship. Altai, call forth your cohorts that we may see where evil lurks."

Oh, look....Evil Dead 2 is on Netflix.

Nitey nite!

Oh, look....Evil Dead 2 is on Netflix.

Meh. I might check it out. It IS halloween. But I've always preferred Army of Darkness myself. :)

"I am glad we are agreed against a stroll in the forest of flesh. Altai is right however, we cannot leave while the shadow of the dybbuk lurks throughout the ship. Altai, call forth your cohorts that we may see where evil lurks."

"Agreed. I'll get right to it."

Heathy, I don't particularly want to handwave this, but I can summon so many lantern archons that I wouldn't know where to stack them all - in fact, summoning hordes of (relatively) low-powered monsters is what I do best of all:

Summoning: Altai has the Superior Summoning feat and possesses the Ring of the beast. Thus, he summons 2 monsters from the same-level list, 1d3+1 monsters from the one-level-lower list or 1d4+2 monsters from the two-levels-lower list. All summoned monsters have +4 STR and CON due to his Augment Summoning feat. Through his Nexus Method feat he can spontaneously convert memorised spells into Summon monster spells of equivalent levels.

I'll scratch 2 5th level and 3 4th level spells. That gives me 2d4+6+3d3+3=21 lantern archons. So - do we find any more dybbuks?

Elgan blinks at the horde of summoned lantern archons.

He sits back in a deck chair and watches the parade.

OMGosh, now Elgan wants one of those rings!

Can you imagine it? TWO plantzilla's at once?!? :D

I'll figure out what to do with this in a minute then.

Heh heh.....

Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit.....gotta find that on Youtube as well.

The holy lanterns scour the ship for a good while.

Aside from the power source, and a kinda twitchy carpenter amongst the crew that has a habit of staring at people creepily and making them nervous, they find no trace of dybbuk stowaways.

You ruin all my fun!

j/k

He's even more twitchy now, this evil, evil carpenter.

It's on That Mitchell and Webb look - the funniest sketch show ever. Best of all - all three seasons are on YouTube!

"You and the power source... would go well together, if you know what I mean. Stay useful, buddy."

heh heh

He shudders. And twitches.

"Tharr be some dryrotted struts I was going to see too...."
