Sweet, nice flurry of activities for this scene!The cage door bent open by Wiff, Rook shimmies through and leaps onto the inside-out man! His flailing has knocked the Medusa Cascade beyond his reach. The halfling and the arrow in his hip prevent him from moving toward it. He does, however, bite Rook's arm, drooling disgustingly. Weak Hit (Hack & Slash): Deal damage. 1d8=2, Rook.Meanwhile, Cal Saintson has at Hi Xaphon! A slash of his claws across the dark mage's midsection stains the wall red with blood. The wizard of the Turalian order cries out in anger and surprise at the sudden attack. He then looks to his own hands, forming them into wicked claws to match the paladin's. Swiping back, he strikes Cal fiercely! It's a melee! Weak Hit (Hack & Slash): Deal damage. 1d10+3=11. This one does not Ignore Armor. Roll damage against Hi Xaphon please, Cal.

Cal, who doesn't have his shield out, takes 8 Damage. As near as I can figure, he has about 6 HP left. I'm not keeping up with my character sheet very well, and I'm wishing injuries were more narrative in this game.
Damage against Hi Xaphon. (1d10=10)

Ouch, 10!
Judging by the slashing claws and feral howls from these two combatants, it's like two great beasts are tearing at each other in this tumbling chamber of broken cages and fleshy walls, slick biological fluids raining down around all. The tainted blood of the dark magus sprays upon the wall, an acidic substance that brings tears to one's eyes and burns the Vile One's newly reconstituted tissues. There is a rumbling through the great beast as it rolls over itself, tossing everyone to the ceiling and then back to the floor as the purple worm rights itself and rises up to bellow into the air, finally free of its long petrified slumber...
The Medusa Cascade hits the floor with an audible "clink," bouncing a few times before landing a short distance away from Wiff. Beyond the ring, Cal and Hi Xaphon are gathering themselves, the dark mage uttering the first few words to a spell of enervation and death to finish the paladin off once and for all. Meanwhile, the inside-out man is tangled up with Rook, a two-fanged feeding tubule extending from his throat toward the thief's belly.
GM Move: Show Signs of Doom. Cal and Rook are being threatened!
Light - daylight, in fact - is beginning to shine through the hole being eaten away in the wall where Hi Xaphon's blood was spilled.
GM Move: Offer an Opportunity with or without Cost. The hole provides an escape route. Anything unresolved could represent a potential cost for this opportunity.
What do you do?

Wiff jumps for the ring and frantically puts it on one finger of his good hand. "I hope this thing works," he mutters, as he stands up and looks Hi Xaphon in the eye. "Shut your mouth," shouts Wiffleball as he focuses intently on the dark mage, trying to visualize his face melting into a blank sheet of skin.

Cal snarls and grabs the mage's hand to stop the spell. He yanks Hi Xaphon off balance, and drags him toward the hole, with the clear goal of exiting the worm with him.

Rook yells to Wiff "Focus your mind! A single strong emotion and a mental image will cause the ring to act, transforming its surroundings to its master's desires! He fumbles and pulls out a dagger. plunging it into the inside out man's eye. Mechanics Spoiler:

Why do I get a silly PG-13 man giggle going everytime I see Fist Of The Forest ?
When she was 8 years old, yeah, yeah she was. Sicko. And we all know you only like Harry Potter cuz of what a huge Equus fan you are. 
How do you know about that? I only told one person.
Well, it's like this: Marie gets around.
I do not understand. I can't give a game to a friend?
You can, but only once. That friend can't give it to anyone else. The holy corporation has spoken. Stop complaining and give them all your money.
But how will they know?
I do not play video games.
then why do you care? 
Why do you care that I care?
i'm curious
You are? Cool! Here is a hornet's nest. Stick your [redacted] in it to see what happens.

Liar. Hipsters don't run. It's too mainstream.
Actually, Santa just didn't like you. However, you weren't on the Naughty List, so he had to give you something "better" than coal.

First, an experience from a game I played in a few years back. Our DM didn't like 3.5 as a whole but liked parts of it. So he hands us a big ass rules packet for his modified FR campaign, complete with quotes from important NPC's on the front. I can't remember most of the HRs, just that some how gods like Cyric and Bhaal existed at the same time, despite the obvious problems there. In the end the game became a problem more because of the railroading than the HRs, but it ended with this classic line, after our ranger tried to disarm the strange woman following us WITH HIS BOW: DM: You just killed (insert random noble sounding name here) JP: Was she important? Jack: Dude, she's quoted on the front of the rules packet!

Cut the last encounter on your way out after dealing with the Darth. He's the BBEG. Treat him as such. Play up that Darth Revan is THAT much of a badarse. When the shuttle landed, I had no less than 13 JEDI MASTERS step off the shuttle. The PCs were slack-jawed. After the meetup with Bastila (as she's carrying Revan's body), only TWO jedi masters remained with her. Let me tell you, the player whining about not getting to fight Revan himself shut up pretty quickly when he saw that.
There's so much you can do with insanity, especially when it has alot of resources.

2. Tank goes in and get surrounded by enemies.
3. Wizard cast fireball and blows them up.
4. ???
5. Profit

Rook's soft plump stomach is impaled by the inside-out man's two-fanged feeding tubule, who begins hungrily slurping up the halfling's vital fluids. Rook's blade struck true, but the horror's gibbous anatomy leaves it unfazed as it relishes its first meal in a long while. Golden Opportunity (Miss, Hack & Slash): Deal damage. Rook, take 1d8=7 damage and mark XP! This damage does not Ignore Armor.
Meanwhile, with Rook's helpful advice, Wiff can focus his mind on the Medusa Cascade which pulses with potent magic. Cal Saintson and Hi Xaphon are locked in a grapple, stumbling over toward the widening hole in the Vile One's flesh, switching places several times as each tries to gain leverage on the other. It is harder for Hi Xaphon to cast the spell, but not impossible, drawing upon his inner reserves to speak louder the arcane words instead of making the accompanying somatic gestures. Necrotic energy chills everyone to the bone as the spell nears completion!Can Wiff channel the power of the Medusa Cascade to silence this fiend?When you focus your mind in an attempt to channel the power of the Medusa Cascade, summon up a single strong emotion and a mental image of what transmogrifying effect the ring shall create, then roll+WIS. On a 10+, it works! On a 7-9, it works and choose 2 below.
- You are similarly transmogrified.
- Your alignment becomes Evil ("When you transmogrify someone simply to cause them pain, mark XP.")
- The ring vanishes.
I believe you take +1 forward on this move because of something Rook did earlier.

As Hi Xaphon is about to speak his vile words, Wiffleball can feel the energy of the Medusa Cascade coursing through him. He focuses intently on Hi Xaphon's mouth, hoping to seal it shut before he can finish the spell. 2d6+1 → [5,1,1] = (7)
Well, Wiff is going to need the ring to un-transmogrify Genevieve, so that leaves "You are similarly transmogrified" and "Your alignment becomes Evil"
It works! Just as Hi Xaphon is about to finish his spell, his mouth is replaced by a blank sheet of skin. But the power is too much for the untrained mind of Wiffleball Shuttlecock to handle - Wiffleball finds himself silenced as well! He tries to scream but he can't! He is overcome by raw emotion, he now cares only about two things: rescuing Genevieve and making Hi Xaphon suffer. Ignoring Rook's suffering, he rushes back towards the stairs, vowing to return to make the rest of Hi Xaphon's life a living hell. |
