Apparently Seben has not spent a lot of time on the study of giant carrion eating insects. . ..
Seben just understands the real academic pursuit is to sub-specialize in beetles. Fascinating creatures really.(In fact, Wikipedia tells me it has its own branch of study called Coleopterology. Smart lad, that Wikipedia.)
Great name for a Gnome Archivist Bard :) Wik Ipedia
I'm drifting into metagaming here, since Seben needs to level before she gets Knowledge (Religion), but maybe we can piggyback off of Indus's successful roll? If so, the standard operating procedure here is to have the cleric drop multiple channels to blast the thing with positive energy.
CLW from our wands might also work, but I think we need to-hit rolls for that (which is kinda weird) so channels are probably better. Lueck's chance to shine once more?
Then the bad news is that, even if successful, it just disables the haunt, meaning we can bypass it but we're sort of then trapped inside the compound. Maybe we can find the haunt's bones and sanctify them or something to lay the haunt to rest permanently.
So much for battling the millipede at range. . .
Indus' knowledge roll was good enough that he'd know that the haunt can be disabled with something like a CLW spell. And in game terms, you can use the ready action to apply it as the haunt manifests, and hopefully prevent it from triggering again.
Indus also knows that like many traps, haunts often need time to reset after they have been disabled. So, unless you feel like spending the night in a haunted house in the middle of a necropolis crawling with undead (Google reviews say: 0 stars, walls tried to eat me, would not recommend), you're probably fine. Probably...
You're so negative! How about a little balance in that review?
3 1/2 Stars - * * * 1/2
"Interactive walls provide much entertainment. Constant heart rate acceleration takes care of the morning workout. Would recommend, but primarily for divine spellcasters with a positive attitude who are ready for anything."
This is pretty serious minutia, but just for when we hit the actual initiative round, Seben has Animal Focus (Tiger) going, so instead of the usual +2 she will have a mighty +3.
Insect? That's right! Lueck eats insects. This centipede has got be looking like the largest buffet this grippli has ever seen!
With a few refrigeration spells, we could possibly set Lueck up with boxed lunches for weeks.
Though I guess we'd better first resolve who is eating who, exactly...
Gives new meaning to the term "walking buffet" :)
Merry Christmas, Bask Brigade!
May Santa bring you much XP.
Happy Hanukkah! Merry Christmas! Good Jól!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays all around.
Happy New Year, everyone!
I’ll move the game along once the Jan 1st fatigue wears off.
Happy New Year peeps!
Sorry for the extended absence. Our container from Denmark finally arrived after 99 days. We have been up to our necks in boxes and unboxing. Lots of work but very nice to finally not be living basically out of suitcases.
