I know a good scale-colorist who can touch those up for you. And he'll throw in a deep-wing massage for free.
I like this one. We should keep him around. ;)
I think we should keep them all, actually. I can't tell you what kind of hell dealing with the Board of Education is like when you've lost a student...
Though, to be fair, he never should have teased Ruji with exploding catnip mice...
That was never proved... catnip-smelling mice explode all the time. It's an imperfect world. Besides, I think those were rodent suicides.
They're prematurely gray! With grandchildren like mine is it any wonder? ;PI'm not THAT old!Don't lie, I saw the gray edges on your scales!
Yes, becuase true gentleman resort to biological warfare when an age joke is made...
Sinh, the battle with the slurk slime was AWESOME!!! :D
I have to go pick up the kidlet from school. I'll be back in about an hour.
Okay, Nala. Not a lot is known about her for sure, but Ephebe was able to pick up a few things. Nala has some sort of cold subtype, a fact most people don't notice. She's also a talented witch and way too adept with charm and compulsion spells. What not even Ephebe knows is that Nala is also a master of illusions. I.e., she's secretly helping the Hunter, though she isn't actually a Hunter herself.
She's overall an unpleasant person who needs to have a victim in order to affirm her own sense of self-worth, and her attacks against Ephebe have been steadily escalating the more that Ephebe has stood up to her. She always keeps a gang of other students that she considers 'worthy of her attentions' nearby charmed to the gills and ready to do her bidding.
She's done lots of awful things, but she's never actually gotten caught at any of it.
Thanks for the info and compliment! :)
Hm.. one of my children is a colormage(just made this up), the other two can find things...
All three would probably hate Nala...
I can see this is going be good! ;)
I've already managed to terrify her "associates" that was fun.....though it saddens me that she didn't run away terrified. Oh well there is always Mr. Fishy's method.

Kobold Cleaver thought you were supposed to use a stick?
Its a 'virtual' stick then. Besides if you think about it the caster evolved from the stick.

It's his boomstick. ;)
Hm. I was planning on Vakkler giving Nala detention for throwing the slime at Ephebe (specifically, slurk duty with Jiminy). He'd already seen it, but is determined to punish 'the Sunwake brat' by making him work with her. If that makes sense.
However, it occurred to me that removing her from the Snipe Hunt might mess up other plans. Since he hasn't revealed his knowledge yet, I can still change and rule he doesn't have any idea.
So if detention wouldn't suit a plan, let me know now. I don't want to ruin somebody's character development. :P
Putting her in detention with Jiminy would be like adding fire to kerosene. :)
She definitely needs to go in the Snipe Hunt. If he says that he saw her throw it she'll just say that he must have been mistaken. (She actually did get one of her charmed accomplices to do the throwing, though it can be hard to tell since she made the motion as well. Part of how she controls her thralls.)
OK, so I have to take some liberties with Nala's class schedule and I'm not sure if Jiminy will be available to play along so this information is to get us all on the same page and give Vakkler something to use if he wants to push ahead with an after-action "I tracked down that Sunwake brat and learned X"...
Here's the deal:
1. Jiminy dropped standard run-of-the-mill, aged and stinky, slurk slime on Nala. There was nothing alchemically interesting about it.
2. Nala wasn't lying - cryptozoology isn't on her schedule. What IS on her schedule is 'Potions' or 'Alchemy' and possibly something like 'Botany'. Classes where she is in contact with a lot of chemical and natural reagents.
3. Vakkler, as a big game hunter :), knows the history of many slimes and oozes... including this legendary bit about the origins of Gray Ooze:
- "Some sages believe that the gray ooze is the result of a failed alchemical experiment, while others postulate that the first gray oozes spontaneously arose from a cesspit of magical detritus."
That is straight out of the book, btw. :)
The conclusion that Vakkler will be able to reach is that the slime coming into contact with the girl who probably had witchy hexes running, and had trace amounts of several chemical reagents on her clothes/hair/skin, coupled with the highly magical nature of the school and the variety of magic fields that are constantly bouncing around... gave birth to a new type of Oozy life-form.
And I have stat'ed up and will run said Oozy funboy for this little adventure. :)
To give it time to get big enough for some real fun... I'd like to have it pop in and out of scenes, stealing food and whatnot. The plan is to have it make its big entrance the next day, preferably right after gym class.
Lynora/DB3 - I'm figuring as the head DM's you probably declare when 'The Next Day' happens... so I'll be following your lead on that.
Until then, I'm going to have Sinh trying to track its movements while Vakkler can make his discoveries and reach his conclusions.
If you've got any questions or concerns - fire them at me. Otherwise, play ON!
Sinh:
Nala actually is in cryptozoology, but they haven't got that far in the book yet. She honestly knows nothing of oozes. But yes, good call on the alchemy class, since I already had her chucking alchemical goo at Ephebe.
I like your explanation of the origin of the ooze. Interesting magical mishaps are bound to happen in this school.
As far as the next day goes we'll get there soonish. The group is gonna have that little talk to get everyone caught up on the necessary info. And then there's band practice. And after that we'll get to the next day. Your plan on when to unleash it is good. I'll coordinate Jiminy's attempted prank with accidentally unleashing the ooze then. :)

I think Eldritch Jello is my new favorite alias name. :D
And I think we have our new band name!
Shout out to Mr. S. for the inspiration.
XD
Dude! I was totally moshing at the Eldritch Jello concert last night! It RULED!
Those guys coldnt' play their way out of a cardboard box!
Excellent point. As we know Eldritch Jello eats through cardboard!
rofl :D

I can't kill you because you're family, but there are no rules against maiming, boyo. ;P
And I don't hurt children...geez....I thought we'd already covered this...

Objection, your honor! Defendant is in human form, and thus gets no natural armor.

You should just be happy Asch hasn't gotten detention yet. :p or gotten into any random fights...though I almost got in a fight with Taron and Kam but that's besides the point....

I very much see a new prestige class in Asch's future (after his discommendation from the Order)...Rogue Gunslinger sounds about right.
[Sigh]

Not at all, o' luscious one. And I've got the field amputation kit with me if your maiming plan is a 'go'... :D

For a doctor you're awfully eager to cause bodily harm...

On the contrary, my muse - I'm awfully eager to make sure no permanent harm is done, or infection sets in. (^.^)
Besides, if you want to hold whatever appendage you choose to take 'hostage' until he learns to behave himself properly in your wondrous presence, I can make sure said appendage is properly preserved. We can even put some disparaging tattoos on it if you're really feeling adventurous.... ;P
Heh. Ryleh is well into epic which is why she's not going to be participating in any combats. It's like bringing a cannon to a knife fight. ;)
And then all the knifers realize how hard it is to aim a cannon, not to mention the reloading time...
All you need is love.
Aren't you a little short to be a storm trooper?
And aren't you a new student - and therefore late for your entrance physical exam...?
