I hope you agree that was a helpful trick on my part? I acted unilaterally for the sake of time (as mentioned, I've been busy - greetings from my first-ever time in New Orleans!!!).

It was very helpful, thanks!

@Sirlicks & Sadrib: Thanks for the healing! I'm almost topped up on hp now. It's really this Strength-draining poison that's going to take me down if I can't make some saves :)

I have a lesser restoration spell. Unfortunately, not useful now given its casting time of 3 rounds...

Unfortunately, lesser restoration won't work on ability score drain. I do have a one-use Chronicle boon I can check for an instant restoration, which I may have to do if things get really desperate.

Well, one monster's down and just one remains, while we're all still up and (correct me if I'm wrong) you're the only one who's suffered ability loss, so I things don't seem particularly "desperate"; it's a pity none of us did terribly well on our Knowledge checks....

Yep, I think you're right--it's more that I was worried about getting drain to 0 Strength and falling into a coma, but the poison is slow-moving enough that I don't think that'll be a problem. I'll still need to "clear" the drain at the end of the session, but I'll probably just pay for that instead of using the Chronicle boon.

I had 28 on the creature, doesn't seem that bad.

It certainly doesn't, I'd forgotten! What had you learned?

Sirlicks discovered it is a Thognorok Qlippoth, being a Medium Outsider. DR 5/(Cold iron or Lawful). Immune cold, mind-affecting effects; Resist acid 10, electricity 10, fire 10. It also has all round vision and is amorphous.

And don't forget it's Horrific Appearance. Any creature that witnesses a thognorok’s horrific appearance could find itself overwhelmed with revulsion at the qlippoth’s constantly sprouting and waving insectile legs, becoming sickened for 1d6 rounds (Will DC 16 negates).

Immune cold, mind-affecting effects...

So much for those ideas! I was pretty darn ill-prepared for this.

Ah, sorry. I had not realized that it was ability drain.

Uhh, Sadrib? You've been looking at this sucker for a while, are you certain you didn't already make your save against Horrific Appearance? I thought we all had at the start.

In any case, I hope you agree with my trick either way; BTW, why did you move? Unless I'm mistaken, you'd have had a flank with me where I'd put you.

I'm not sure you can flank something with all around vision.

Not until now, as far as I can remember. There was also something weird with the map and my position, as I did not move to the left of the monster in my previous turn, when I cast a spell on the Shining Knight. Luckily, not relevant any more :-)

You are correct. It is not possible.

@GM: I need to clear my ability score drain. Would you please subtract 2 PP from The Shining Knights Chronicle to reflect him paying for a restoration? Thanks!
