Chapter 1: Garden GambitTurn 21 Enter diplomatic talking mode, point out how you just made him strong enough to take over the elven kingdom and therefore he should thank you and allow you to pass on unharmed.
"What he said. You are much better off now. You are clearly a match for the elven empire! You should thank us and let us walk!"
"Bull. I may be as strong as anything on the first, or perhaps even second floor, but the bosses would still kick my ass. Not to mention the Empire commands Deep Elves, Academy Sages, Divine Bloodlines, Terrible Tamed Beasts, and other things I couldn't even begin to dream about beating. Good try though..." Ignacio, Wishbone, Guardian Angel: Begin advance. Optionally, engage Banter Mode.Aside from that...I think we've expended enough summons for this fight, but that might just be me.
Ithan: Move into LOS, shoot the Mini-Boss.Now for the big question...how will Oscar contribute? He could pretty nicely overkill the guy with a Fiery Charge...if it hit. If it didn't? Our favorite, squishy offensive caster would be left adjacent to an enemy. An enemy which specializes in ranged attacks, but still...
Oscar: Put a Fire Aura on Wishbone to give him an extra bit of AC for when he gets up close.
"Alright! I can do that! Mewmewmewmew!!!!!""Oscar moves forward, and with a single flick of his tail, encases Wishbone in a protective aura of searing heat and blinding flame!" "Awesome! If I still had meat, it would reach a juicy 165 degrees in no time! Thanks Oz! Now if you excuse me, I'm going to baste this loser!""The Skturkey charges forward ready to attack, but the universe decides to punish his corny sense of humor by causing the attack roll to turn up a 6. Even with Wishbone's huge attack bonus added onto that, it isn't even close to getting past Syn's huge AC score! Wishbone's attempt sees him covered in painful spores that inflict 1 damage!
Ithan and Ignacio both advance, but neither can get into position to attack this round...
Syn decides decides to risk an AoO and attempt a point-blank shot on Wishbone!
Wishbone takes the opportunity, and promptly rolls a natural 20 on the attack roll! His roll to confirm comes in at 20 after apply bonus, which is not quite enough to register the critical hit. Wishbone karate-chops the elf for 4 regular damage and 2 lawful damage! Wishbone takes another point of damage from the spores!
Injured but undaunted, Syn continues with his shot. His attack roll, after bonus, is a 17, so he misses the evasive and flaming monk." "Gosh mister, that attack was half baked. Beating you up will be fun, and taking all that sweet loot will be just gravy! *groans* "Your puns... they are as painful as any weapon in this dungeon.----

Hey Amelia, quick note, I wasn't there when you died, and I probably wouldn't have killed you, I didn't like X that much to be honest, just tell me if you need any player help.
For the record, I wasn't trying to get you killed. I just overestimated your competence.
"You know... I don't quite remember how I died. I'm just assuming it was that little halfling jerk's fault."
