Transmute that blasted air of hers again, do it right this time.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

((As a note, your Hp is lower than 8, the GM made a mistake. I guess it was supposed to be 8 + 1 (healing) - 1 (knife-cutting) - 5 (your magic) = 3 Nevermind, wrong, got the numbers all mixed up.))

13 hp +2 healing = 15hp -6 damage = 9hp remaining if my math is correct

thanks for pointing that out.. you just got me 1 hp back :D

((I actually thought you had 8 hp at the start of the turn, which you didn't. So yeah, your current one is 9hp.))

"Miss, first, I apologize for my tactless companions. We care for our own, and were worried that if you kept him, you wouldn't be able to protect him from those who trouble him. We may not be able to protect him though, he and the mages are the frailer among us, so we would welcome your assistance.\" Gus said, trying for diplomacy.

he is easily one of the more dangerous of our number, seeing how he has managed to gain a valiant protecter with one night in a bar."
((How am I dangerous?))

Rhedarios stared at Gus. Now if the latter's diplomacy attempts failed, he would probably only press her further into keeping him as a personal toy. He just hoped she was kind to her pets, but not excessively kind, though.

Eric stopped just before saying his one-liner. Thanks to Fluffy, he already lost the advantage of surprise, so there was no point in proceeding with the plan anymore.
On one hand, there was a conceivable scenario in which the Doll-Molester would cut Fluffy's throat and give Eric a justification he needed to kill her and take her skull. On the other hand, she would become Fluffy's weak spot even if she survived. That seemed like a win-win situation, so Eric lowered his staff.

"So you've got it under control? Wouldn't have guessed. Go ahead, then."

((@Irony: Necromancy allows the caster to manipulate dead bodies beyond simply moving them around, right? Can I turn them to dust, re-shape them and so on? If so:))
See if there are any bones in the trash bin. Take one if I find any, powderize it, pour the bone dust into the Blood Jar and have it form a layer on the Jar's inside. That way, the blood won't erode the Jar's mud with its wetness.
When in doubt about the soul's strength, Kelhor used to teach Eric, fill your jar with blood, bone and feces; that's as close to a real body as you're ever going to get, and it's this similarity that will define your jar's strength.

Eric met Rhedarios's gaze just before saying his one-liner... and regretted it, because this gaze had puppy-eyes in it. Too much puppy-eyes led to hesitation, and hesitation led to not-killing-the-enemy-immediately and thinking instead. Eric already lost the first-strike opportunity, so he stopped and weighed the options.
On one hand, there was conceivable scenario where the Doll-Molester would cut Rhedarios's throat and give Eric a justification he needed to kill her and take her skull. On the other hand, the bitch would become Rhedarios's weak spot even as she survived. That seemed like a win-win situation, so Eric lowered his staff.

((@Irony: Necromancy allows the caster to manipulate dead bodies beyond simply moving them around, right? Can I turn them to dust, re-shape them and so on? If so:))
Stop attracting attention and see if there are any bones in the trash bin. When no one's looking, take one, powderize it, pour the bone dust into the Blood Jar and have it form a layer on the Jar's inside. That way, the blood won't erode the Jar's mud with its wetness.
The more diverse the material base is, Kelhor used to teach Eric, the bigger the advantage you get from using it. When in doubt about the soul's strength, fill your jar with blood, bone and feces; that's as close to a real body as you're ever going to get.

((Le sigh. And here goes my perfectionism. Should I roll it back?
Also, the facts are that she's got a +2 to attack and a +3 to defense, on a d10 physical attack roll. Strong indeed, unless you notice that magic ignores defense.))

((If I remember correctly, magic does not "ignore" defense. Straight-combat rolls are always opposing, and opposing rolls still take dodging and defense in consideration :3
It seems the GM has been using a d6 for magical actions simply because they are not, let's say, flinging fireballs at her. They are mostly trying to change other things (and they are mostly getting negative modifiers for it). Also, I kept that quote because of the "puppy-eyes" reference. :3))
