Waagic rises to his feet in a blur of movement and gratefully seizes the elixir proffered by Boomtop. He downs it in one swig and even as the burns on his arms and chest begin to visibly heal, he readies himself to fight on!

Waagic collapses senseless, his arm and front sizzling.
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Waagic feels the burning but continues striking the ooze, trying to drive it back!
I don't mind discord and was in a successful 5e game run by yourself before. Roll20 is fine for maps and rolling. Some good character sheet templates too.
Invigorated with alchemy, Waagic rushes forward and drives his fists at the large ooze!
@Rankle: That sounds good!
Waagic downs his elixir of boldness and readies for combat!
"Boldness and resilence would be very helpful, Boomtop.", replies Waagic, as he looks about for signs of the ooze's recent passage.
"Kargoroth, I would see your weapon repaired but I lack the skills myself. Do any here have the ability to repair it? We should then investigate where those oozes emerged from. It could threaten the flank of our forces."
Oh wow! Good luck with the move and thank you for the heads up.
Waagic, seeing a bolt have an effect, fires another.
I'll be travelling this weekend and I won't be posting again until Monday at least.
Waagic tries once more to affect the battle with his crossbow. A bolt, launched a moment too soon.
Waagic switches his focus to the larger, black ooze and launches a second bolt.
Waagic swiftly advances to cover, launching a bolt at an ooze!
Waagic stands back, quietly impressed by the paladin's words.
Actually, I don't think so. Haunted one gives a monster hunter's backpack and a trinket but no cash. I may not be able to post again until Saturday. Just a heads up.
Waagic nods at the description of the elemental, quietly pleased. He is surprised by the ghosts but not as much as he would have been even a few days ago. "Hello again." He turns to the living gnomes: "As Boomtop says, they are allies. I say we fight with them. The oozes and their lord are the enemy."
I cannot recall what Waagic's share of loot has been, if any. Looking to have bought: Greatclub 2sp
20 sling bullets 8sp
Waagic solemnly says: "Cyrus fell in the defense of Blingdenstone. I honour his sacrifice and wish him well in the afterlife." The deep gnome does look about, in case Cyrus' ghost is lingering near by.
"A fair point, Rankle.Ranged missiles or spears may be fine things to acquire."
Take care and enjoy.
Waagic turns to his new companions, thinking that he should acknowledge the sacrifices of the fallen. "You have lost two companions in recent times, both to bizarre circumstances. It is no small matter. They fell to defend others, which was worthy of them."
"The Pudding King is surely a servant of the greater ooze horror that I once saw, and a servant that we must defeat to protect this city. I am of course ready and able, though would appreciate rest if we have time."
Waagic speaks up. "The sword that drove the temple defenders to madness has been shattered. They now have their wits about them once more. Cyrus here was struck before we achieved victory - and is parted from his body."
Myras, you can fire away with the shortsword IMHO. Myras and Rankle, those last few posts are glorious. :D
Waagic notes: "Who will carry him? I am better equipped to scout."
"A poltergeist lecturer?", ventures Waagic. "In any case, let us get moving."
"We can bring you...your body...back to Blingdenstone. Perhaps someone there can assist you."
Waagic tenses at the sight of his deceased? companion. "What happened to you, Cyrus?"
This party is a Ship of Theseus!
Waagic prepares to drive his fists at the blade again - then sees Kargoroth's masterful stroke! The deep gnome actually smiles when he sees the ghosts of the ancient city defenders freed before him. "I knew it was right to join with ye.", he says to no one in particular. He composes himself. "We should return with this excellent news."
Realising that he is talking to a slumped half-elf and especially with Myras's exhortation, Waagic drives his fists once again at the blade!
Martial Arts for another unarmed attack as a bonus action
With the ghosts rushing about, Waagic takes the opportunity to back away. Seeing Kargoroth, he stops his movements, and stands by the paladin. "Kargoroth, you look ailing. I will cover your withdrawal."
Agreed!
Not seeing Kargoroth's dire straits, Waagic tries to strike the specter before him!
His ki drained and time short, Waagic feels that he can do little else but keep trying to break the sword - albeit with less speed than before.
Alas, Cyrus!
That is totally understandable. I wish you the best of luck with that!
Waagic exhausts his remaining ki in an effort to beat the sword into pieces.
Thankfully it's not damage resistance ala 3.5/Pathfinder, or gods help us, 3.0.
"Will do!", replues Waagic as his fists move back and forth in a brutal flurry.
Waagic stows the staff in his clothing as he races over to the half-drow. The gnome drives his fist down, aiming to shatter the drow blade with no further delay!
Waagic moves, channeling ki to move to the next spot called by Boomtop, rushing at immense speed!
"If you see the sword, I can rush for it swiftly!" Waagic racks his memory, trying to remember what items are said to belong here.
Waagic tries to attune his senses in the temple, seeking that aura which does not belong.
@Myras: I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that it's worked out. @Caster: Sounds good.
Waagic duly nods.
"I acted hastily for the same reason, Burrow Warden Badger. I am Waagic Jadefingers and I would gladly aid to cleanse the temple. How can this sword best be destroyed? Does it have any guardians of its own?" |
