Radsworth angrily yells back at the creature, shaking his fist in the air.
"Bugger yourself, my pancake salted seabiscuit! I am Abraham Lincoln Log!"
Telepathically:
Heheh.... Ye hear that rubbish? Now imagine 'avin' to hear it all day long.... That's what I 'ave to put up with, day in an' day out, that fat bag o' gas babblin' bout The Old Ones Know What....
[dicel]1d20+4
On his turn this round, Koran will deal himself 1d8+ Str modifier damage with his earth breaker....
Radsworth would get to act normally just before he heard the gibberish in this round, and on his turn next round, it so happens that the result is that he can act normally (if perhaps a bit prone to some free action gibbering of his own for fun)....
Will save 1d20+2
Uh.... Huh?.... Wait a sec.... Where am.... Who the.... What the.... Where's the.... Um.... Whatchamacallit?
Uh-oh! Lol, look out, DL's shooting at the nearest creature (Kate, as it happens) on his next turn....
Still need Will save DC 13 from Mephos, and actions from Mephos and Radsworth, and for Koran to smash his own foot with his earth breaker for 1d8 + Str mod damage, and it will be time for round 2....
After Mephos, Rad, and Koran:
Round 2!!
Intellect Devourer!
Et cetera!
Eeeeeek!
Lazy ass Initiative Monkey....
I'm on my lunch break, b&#*%!
/eats banana.....
After Radsworth and Mephos finish round 1:
Casting invisibility defensively, concentration check vs DC 19 succeeds....
The Intellect Devourer vanishes from sight!
Mephos (Will DC 13 or confused 1 round, actions for round 1)!
Radsworth (normal actions for round 1 before confusion sets in)!
Round 2!
Intellect Devourer (casts invisibility defensively)!
Derrik!
Krar!
Mephos!
Grimm!
Radsworth (confused, but acts normally)!
Dwayne Lee (confused, will attack nearest creature)!
Babbler!
Kate!
Koran!
BUUURRRRP!!! (Banana-scented)
mephos enlarges derrik.
Derrik seems annoyed the creature fading from his sight. Knowing only one way to possibly pinpoint the creature Derrik takes a small step back and looks upon the world with his special vision trying to catch the creature's aura and pinpoint where he might be. He seems to grow in frustration t a metal giant.. or was it Simply Mephos' enhancements.
" Your foul magicks shall not save you creature.."
mephos enlarges derrik.
Mephos casts enlarge person on Derrik just before he hears the maddening gibberish of The Babbler in the Stairwell....
On his next turn in round 2, Mephos stands still and babbles incoherently....
Go ahead with round 2, only Radsworth hasn't finished round 1 yet, he can catch up when he gets the chance....
ID went invisible....
Derrik used detect evil to pinpoint ID....
Go ahead Krar, Mephos will babble, then Grimm and Rad....
Krar strikes at the babbler before dancing away.
Dashing back through the doorway (20 ft of movement) brings Krar to the foot of the spiral stair, where he is within reach of The Babbler; he strikes it a blow with his sword (dealing 2 slashing after DR) and attempts to spring back another 10 ft, provoking an AoO....
Bite plus grab succeeds, preventing Krar from moving away, as he is now dragged closer to The Babbler's disgusting, amorphous blob of a body!
Mephos stands still and babbles incoherently this round, affected by The Babbler's contagious nonsense....
just to be clear the babbler still takes damage from krar's second attack because he strikes first.
just to be clear the babbler still takes damage from krar's second attack because he strikes first.
Yes, 10 bludgeoning in addition to the 2 slashing....
Grimm!
Rad (confused, but acts normally)!
In round 1, before hearing The Babbler, Radsworth casts summon monster III, summoning from the mists of prehistory a giant soldier ant, which now materializes in front of The Babbler in the Stairwell! It hisses and snaps its formidable mandibles at the gibbering mouther....
Though struggling against the mind-churning babble coming from The Babbler's mouths, Rad has the presence of mind to summon another ally to flank with the giant ant next round....
Bite plus grab ....
Sting plus poison DC 14
The Babbler dodges both attacks....
Krar strikes at the babbler before dancing away.
Correction: The Babbler has AC 19, so the sword attack misses, but the punch still deals 10 bludgeoning....
After Mephos:
You're the evil master-mind behind all this, you hippie-chick-from-hell! I can see it plain now!
Turning his AR-15 on Kate, Dwayne Lee succumbs to a momentary lapse of reason....
Kate screams as the bullet rips into her side!
I'm.... I'm sorry, Grimm, but.... Kate's really a spy.... I think....
AAAAAAOOOOWWWWWCH!!! What the f*@*, Dwayne Lee, are you f&%%ing more retarded than I even thought!?
Telepathically:
Oh!! HAHAHAHA!! That's bloody rich!! I takes it all back, Babbler, me boyo.... That was bloody priceless, mate! HAHAHAHA!! "She's behind it all!", 'e says!! Fookin' priceless!!!
Har-har!! Did ye see the look on both o their faces after he shot her!? I think I'll piss me self! Har!! Uh.... Rather, wardrobe exchequer trolley laggards! Boggle wallops chimneys weep guttersnipe a paddy!!! Har!! Har!!
Will saves DC 13 from all, please....
As a swift action, The Babbler indeed "pisses himself", or rather Radsworth, squirting a stream of acidic spittle at him....ranged touch Fort DC 18 or blinded rounds....
As a standard action, The Babbler engulfs Krar, its mouth-and-eye-riddled flesh oozing around to completely envelop his body! piercing damage plus 2 Con damage, and Krar is considered swallowed whole until he can cut his way out!
Will save
Booger sammich double down a fifty ounce Mountain Dew kabobs, buddy! Giddy up a pickle ham and go a-hoggin' at the country bars!! Heheh!! Wait a sec.... Who am I again?
Oh yeah! Dwayne Lee!.... Sorry, Katie.... Sorry, Grimm, don't firebomb me, it was that damn mumbo jumbo comin' from that damn Babbler....
Will save
Ow, g&$@+!mit, Dwayne! I'm gonna f%$!ing firebomb your ass myself when this is over! Ow, getting shot f&+$ing HURTS!! You stupid redneck....
More laughter, telepathically from ID, out loud from several of The Babbler's mouths....
Kate casts cure light wounds on herself, burning comprehend languages, to ease the pain of her bullet wound........and the flattened bullet pops out onto the stone floor with an audible clink as the wound becomes a faint scar....
Grimm (action and Will save DC 13 or confuzzled)!
Koran (Will save DC 13 or confuzzled and action)!
Squeak-a-deek, my neek-a-geeks!!
The distant reel careens and rambles through major and minor key changes, seeming to reflect the chaos of battling a gibbering mouther and an intellect devourerer, as prehistoric giant ants appear out of the mists of time to join in the madness....
The overall effect is not unlike a rumble breaking out at an early Pink Floyd concert while everyone's on strong LSD.... (Which reminds me, Will saves, DC 13, or confuzzled....)
Knowing what the babbler is all about and not seeing the creepy brain, Grimm launches a fire bomb at the babbler.
Wth?
A chorus of howls escape the many mouths if The Babbler as Grimm's firebomb explodes across its amorphous frame, searing its flesh with a satisfying crackle!
After Koran finishes round 2....
ID casts cure moderate wounds on itself....
koran stands still babbling to himself.
Derrik!
Krar!
Mephos!
Grimm!
Radsworth!
Dwayne Lee!
Babbler!
Kate!
Koran!
Eeeeek!
Correct, and he may attack the square the aura is in with the usual miss chance.
Derrik sees the seething reddish aura attempting to hide itself from sight with magicks but his fury would not be deterred. He would show the creature it was not safe even then. speaking in a booming voice.
" Grimm, go to the aide of our tattooed friend your fire shall do much more to This babbling menace than the cowardly brain-slop! I Shall handle him however! I've Found you! RAAAAH! "
Derrik tosses his shield to the ground it shrinking back down as it falls with a small Clank, grasping Dawnbringer in both hands and attempting to cleave the aura in twain
Swings down with all his might at the space.
Edit: Engulf attempt on Krar........fails! The elusive monk disengages from The Babbler, and does not take the previously stated 20 damage and 2 Con damage.
Dawnbringer splits the evil ID's hide again, invisibility notwithstanding the young paladin's evil-seeking eyes and righteous fury! It broadcasts a psychic scream of agony and outrage!
Telepathically:
YEEEEEOOOOWWWWWCH!!! Vat bloody fookin' 'urts, ye shiny tin lobster-bastard!!
