Nooo!

Ignore the carriage.
Skeleton guards me.
New spell: Undeath Revival - Bind Cheddarius' soul to his body in an attempt to revive him as more then just a mindless thrall, hopefully under his own control. Sacrifice some of my own health for this if needed. If it is, I'll take one of Cheddarius' healing salves and use it on myself.

Look on the bright side: Cheddarius can't hurt everyone anymore. Also, I got two of you! Bwahahahaha!!!

Isn't it more like my GEE took Cheddarius out (really sorry there Ched) rather than you, Dragnar? Or did you take down someone else I'm not accounting for?

Anyway, I calm GEE down by forcefully CONTROLLING it. GS will attack the last hound.

Huh. I just realized I screwed up my math; The Unholy Abomination isn't supposed to be dead yet... Rather, it is supposed to have 2 HP left... Meh, I'll probably just leave it dead since even if you guys didn't manage to kill it next turn, it was still losing 3 HP/turn due to bleeding so it would have died anyway.

Freeze elemental to ground.

NO MORE SUMMONING PLEASE GUYS.

Anyone else want Ched's staff? I'm taking it otherwise. Forget daggers. Passive damage bonus > badassery.

Yeah, and when you get a [6+6] roll I will pray for your safety.

And yeah, I'll stop with any kind of summoning from next turn forth. I will just keep those I "have" for now.

Given Cheddarius' healing record at the beginning of the game, this can't be too much of a surprise. Actually, RNG's record with healing magic in his games is pretty grim in general.

Also in KineseN's defense, that healing spirit was invaluable.

.....

The same one who summoned a healing spirit also summoned what killed the healer. I don't know if that's ironic or suspicious.

Wait! Are you telling me that Cheddarius was our healer? With the last three turns fresh in my memory I would not have thought that. I swear!

Hmm... I don't think Earthen Heal has ever critically backfired, has it?

And statistically speaking, Healing Magic is beneficial. ~8% of the time it can be damaging, another ~12% it can be ineffective, but the other 80% of the time it should work. I suppose statistics don't really matter when you roll straight 1's and 2's for several turns, though.

From what I can remember, no, Earthen Heal has never critically backfired. Would be awesome though if a backfire would slowly turn the target into stone inst-

I know what I'm going to focus on when we are safe.

Huh I tend to do better as a knife-wielding maniac, then I do as a crazed alchemist.
Switch the iron knife to my off-hand, draw the blessed copper knife in my main hand, and attack the Hellhound with the blessed copper knife.

Attacking with both on the same turn? I'll allow it, with a -2 penalty to each.
