Lough's page

Ignoring the wormy nuisance, Lough focuses and places his slaggen claws into the ground in an attempt to spurn growth of two nearby sprouts.

Lough stands by with his own 'protocol'... but allows his colleague to make his case.

Lough hunts the note down, trapping it withing his slaggen claw, and strangling it with his pelt until it no longer moves.

Performance (T) vs DC 20-ish: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Lough's body comes together. Perhaps his strange faith in Nhimbaloth interfered with his spirit's ability to render itself corporeal once more. No matter.

He drops to his bottom, crosses his legs, closes his eyes, opens his throat, and vocalizes a sound that he imagines coming from his open heart ♪♪♪"ööööööööööööööööööööhhhhhhhhhhmmmmm"♪♪♪

Performance (T): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

The notes leave the vibrations of his voice and manifest as a bridge upon which someone could feasibly walk!

Lough unforges himself. Pulling his fur from his skins from his bones, he imagines a dissolution of parts that reduce him to a few base elements, which, imbued with a divine spark, he wills to dim itself out, leaving the space around what was once his person unlit.

Darkness. Dirt. Water.

Then Light!

He reforges himself. Assembling the parts in a new, more efficient arrangement, starting with the reignition of his divine spark, he emerges invigorated, and walks across the breach.

Nature (T): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Arcana (Untrained Improv): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Having learned his lesson not to attract attention to himself forcing the matter over mind, Lough opens his senses unto the realm and tries to walk the blinding overload, smelling the way forward by following ROYGBIV: 1d7 ⇒ 2 orange signatures.

"Chaos, then"

GM, if Lough was Off-guard, then would only the first strike hit him, less his 4 temporary HPs, to be sustaining 10 damage total?

If there is anything left after Jean and Einar's devastating blows, Lough finishes him off. But first, his wounds close so beautifully, if there are any witnesses, they are inexplicably moved to tears!

Lough easily ducks the sloppy scimitars which slide of his shield like abanked rock skipping over a stream.

Reeling with bloodlust, Lough offers respite "Stand down invisible one, or share the fates of your enforcers. We travel this realm to restore order to a contraption of great value, even as our methods are disorganized. Please."

Lough stays focused on the big guy, treating the smaller enforcers as mere pests. He draws and fires another crackling javelin!

Reaching underneath his pelt, Lough pulls a long pointed stick from seemingly-nowhere, cracking with ectoplasmic energy. He launches it at the larger of the three interlopers. Then repeats the motion, launching another!

"My disorder will stand!" He smiles at the thrill of the strange hunt in the foreign jungle!

Lough imagines the transformation of his body and effects as a new predator in a new jungle of runes, and capitalizing himself into an apex, propogates through the space as an ink pen unlifting from the page, cursive in his stride forward!

Will (M) vs DC ??: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

Nature (T) vs DC ??: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Lough's curiosity frequently misunderstood as indifference of worse - perhaps due to his own somewhat disheveled appearance and the skinned monster pelt wrapped around his form - he smiles and rather than mince words, gets to work.

Digging his cold iron claws into the ground like a hot kite through silky clouds, he kneels down and finds himself shoulder deep before retrieving a sample of rocks and soil and worms for the strange halfling revolutionary to study.

"I hope I haven't hurt her" he speculates out loud. And watches carefully how his contribution is analyzed.

Lough smiles as he considers the creature before him removing twigs to present himself.

Saying nothing.

Yet.

Lough nods to the darty-eyed Ulfen in the corner.

He considers the wizard before him. It seems as though this Maze was, after all, given it's unknown danger, a forest with square trees where monsters lurk, not entirely unlike any wild area.

"Unstable" he tries the word "What is the nature of this instability? Does the Maze itself know itself to Be? Can it Think and Act?" He had known conscioussness to take many forms, so, feeling his own mind sometimes miring him inside some pit of insanity for extended periods of time, why not a larger, more physical trap?

Having spent the last few years in the wilds, the God's Rain awoken in our shaggy hero previously latent abilities that defied his mortal bounds. Honing those abilities hunting down apex predators both natural and supernatural, and furthering his estrangement from his fellow man, which, incidentally, had never been less than distant to begin with, he had come to know the peace and introspection that only solitude can deliver, his voice only those that spoke from within his mind, supplementary to the barking and grunting to exert himself in one survival endeavor or another.

Emerging.

Neither short nor tall, Lough had a sturdy frame unencumbered from muscle whose only function was to display bulk. His eyes, copper and silver, one, the other, each operating independently of eachother, perhaps corresponded to different regions of his brain. His fingers, cool and strong, ending in spines as sharp as a spear freshly ground upon a whetstone, but no less nimble than those with more rounded digits. About his body, covering him hood to foot, a beast of unknown origin, skinned and cured into a blanket, draping itself across his limbs comfortably, lending credability to his skill as a hunter. The shield, polished and well-used, unable to blunt every blow what for the telltale scars across multiple limbs, especially concentrated by his arms and legs. Perhaps most curious, his left arm, glowing with a strange soft light, not unlike a will-o-wisp blinking from within a nearby bog.

Taking in the room, he sizes up the Decemvirate before him, and clear his throat "What stirs in the Maze?"

Lough gives the creature his last breath - ripping it apart with his barbs.

"Feel free to take the lead whenever you're ready again Lough..."

Lough nods to Kvit "Alrighty. Keep an eye on that bonehead behind us pretending to be neutral" he gives the skeleton an 'i see you' look before punching in the next door...

"I would be perfectly content not having much to do with Nhimbaloth, to be honest"

Shriveling a little at mention of 'Nhimbaloth', Lough unconsciously thumbs his copy of Reeds as if just to confirm that it hasn't yet slipped his grasp...

Lough boasts "Well then. We'll take her out, and then, we'll take Her out!" he flexes his muscles and silver, punching fist into open palm claw "How does that sound?"

”Yes. I love secret doors!” a little overexuberantly, Lough holds his shield high and prepares to squeeze through…

Lough plugs one of the holes with Borbo.

And another with his slaggy claw, if he can reach.

"Soul eaters..." Lough consults his Whispers Reeds text...

Religion (T) and Occultism (T) both +15

Lough nods to Kvit.

This was his show, as he had proved himself a capable tactician.

Earning his respect, he is prepared to die for him.

But also, he is simply prepared to die...

Lough nods to Cherry.

And approaches their eldritch researcher ”I don’t think our innocent little Cherry will help you summon a ghost - even to fight a ghost with another ghost!” and looks menacingly at the lens ”But I know enough about the gods to help you reach from beyond - or at least try! - and I can integrate that ‘chip’ into Borbo’s ‘mainframe’ so as to transfer the death sickness from me to her”

He smiles. The easy smile of a man who knows he is probably going to die, but who is not afraid!

Lough laughs in the face of death.

"And Belcorra! Waging an impossible war with inconsistent and ultimately disappointing allies. Perhaps you have been over-estimated, and their failures are just a reflection of yours to come!"

Then he thinks a moment "And you forgot Kka! Whose humor and diligence was only taken for granted, who nearly died every week, unable to finish the noble quest side-tracked to an even higher calling: Love"

He heads northwest - the bottomless pit - then west getting a noseful of sweet swamp weed - reminding him of his inexplicable excursions into the fogfen - then east and the four alcoves.

"Kvit - feels like I've known you years - because you still annoy me. Cherry, I could never be like you, so innocent, so morale" he reaches in the bag of stuff they found "That ring looks nice" then turns to "Dorianna, Aesephna, glad to stand by someone who can take a hit" and winks at the latter.

Flexing his muscles, he flips death the bird, and descends unto his fate or doom...

Seizing the advantage of Caldiddo's slowed reflexes, and prone state, Lough lashes out full offense with 1,000 Borbo Punches!

Lough follows the ysoki wizard, ready to watch him give his magic a try.

If it doesn't work, he could always try tearing it open...
