Turn One Hundred and Twenty One?Level Three of the Temple of SefFOR FUCK'S SAKE TACKOV I AM GOING TO TRAMPLE YOUR ANCESTRAL LANDS UNDER MY ARSE. SOMEONE GET ME A HEALING POTION THING.BUKKAR IS DISPLEASED.
PERHAPS THIS IS BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN DYING FOR ABOUT A MONTH.
(update – two months? Sorry guys. I feel like I am physically a bad person. It actually took me about 3 weeks to get from the line above to this line)
Turn that sheep I cut in half into a construct of some sort as a free action, as promised by one of my overpowered traits!
Meanwhile, Felony… er… Eb… er... Sylvanna! Sylvanna grabs the nearest half sheep, collects all sorts of limbs that happen to be lying around – sheep limbs, for the most part, actually, entirely sheep limbs, and, whilst people run around and bleed and burn and suchlike, sticks aforementioned limbs to aforementioned sheeprear and creates…
…a HIDEOUS SHEEPASS GOLEM! Blame Tackov. But, you know, Felony might be a good name for a female character. Felony Jackson, Private Detective.
Anyway, a foul-smelling woolly octoped with no head nor ears nor eyes, the golem seems to stare balefully at Sylvnna, standing to attention and ready to smite the Felonious One’s foes.
But instead of commanding, Sylvanna realises that merely two golems is not enough, so she grabs the sheep’s head, and some burnt bits of gut,
…and just sort of creates a ball of burnt grolly, which is quite upsetting.
Sheepass GolemName: Sylvanna the Felonious’ Sheepass Golem
Class: 9 Part Sheepass Golem
Health: [HP: 40/40HP]
Abilities: One Backside, Eight Legs. No head, so max 2 command words per turn.
Free-action fashion an invisible ashgut sheephead golem as well! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Then examine the table and its contents.
…Despite her emotional trauma, Sylvanna manages to inspect the table quite successfully. It seems to be made of slabs of granite slotted together and held in place by smallish pieces of metal with an indented hexagonal design crafted upon them. She wonders if this is of any significance.
Appeal to teammates' sense of generosity. Quaff healings.
This actually happens here, after rolling for initiative, but what happens to Bukkar is entirely dependent on his comrades – if the combat finishes, he recovers, bosh. If it doesn't, well, I think there's only one healing potion?
And two sets of bleeding.
Action: Find that invisible head! If successful, play hackey sack with him until he gives up plot details. Get him to turn Bukkar into a sheep, too.
Also, make sure bukkar gets a healy potion from me, however, ideally before he dies
In any case, just before he dies a bit more, Lady Foxglove throws a healing potion to Bukkar, who quaffs it right down without a problem as Foxy starts poking the corners of the room with her foot, trying to find an invisible head. One bleeding deathwound down, one to go.
...Suddenly there's a scream of anger and a cry of pain, and where there was once an attractive young (ish) lady adventurer throttling an invisible head to death, there is instead an attractive young (presumably) lady sheep throttling an invisible head to death.
”Crikey!” cries Tackov, poking his head round the door.
”Baa!” replies Lady Foxglove.
Lady Foxglove kicks a lifeless invisible head across the room, sadly bereft of plot details. Which is a shame, she reasons, because there must have been
some to reveal by now. She cheers up momentarily as she realises that detransforming her from a sheep is probably a plot hook or similar, but then very very quickly remembers that she is a sheep.
Still, there's no possible way that this could last.
It's probably down to the evil energy generated by the field of arcane... necrostuff. That she senses nearby. Approximately down a floor, and then along a long corridor, and then up a floor or two. That's probably it?
Slash at Nigel... again. Use my axe right-handedly while I pursue him.
Init:12
No way dude
Init:1
Command the Dronebongo to eat the neck of Nigel. The jerk. Bukkar can have his head.
”Baa!” shouts Lady Foxglove, escaping from the room and chasing after Nigel the Rogue Accountant/Bodyguard, and just about catching up with Gervedder the Messenger (when Sylvanna has been in the group for more than 6 months I will not just remember her name, but know it forever, like I do Gervedder et al – the only real problem I have is with Tackov, who I sometimes get confused with Larry, and very occasionally want to call Davy. I don't even mentally call light blue “Dwarmin Blue” anymore, but Foxglove Blue)
...Foxglove is just in time to see Gervedder slash right through Nigel's spine and into his guts, setting them quite on fire, which adds to his other fire, and other bleeding, and with a dramatic arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg, I... have... failed..., Nigel collapses dead to the floor, whereupon a living deathtambourine starts chewing his neck off.
In the other room, Bukkar suddenly stops bleeding, and, a second ago at death's door, feels happy! But he's got no eyes, so doesn't see when a large tambourine, wagging its imaginary tail like an excited puppy, brings him Nigel's fully functional head.
Search for loot?
...Rejoicing at Bukkar's recovery, Chink decides to search for loot? In a small pine cupboard a few feet behind the stone table he finds a sword, and a potion.
If there's healing around, take a sip
There isn’t, sorry.
"Well, he is probably more useful alive then dead, isn't he? On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that he can easily be replaced, as chances are that we'll find another conveniently leveled fellow if we lose him, right?"
Magic Healing Potion Carpet Go! Don't stop looting, though.
Oh but there might be!
...Oh, no, actually. Sorry.
PARTY CHOICE TIME:1/ Continue immediately?
2/ Rest to full health and mana and then continue immediately?
3/ Something I haven't thought of?
If 1 or 2, then where (I am happy to give plot-related suggestions such as the next level down of the dungeon, or storming the castle for the less subtle types). If 3, what?

edit: sorry about the wait everyone. I could have slightly helped it, but I really do have a lot on. I'll try to add some exciting plot denouements to make up for it! Although not just now, I'm away for two days.
