Turn 35: The Elf Lights It UpCast spirit ally, defensivly attack the plant with my claw gloves
[3+3][Luck 4] A hulking ghostly wolf appears over you, and you attack the plant. [5+1] vs [4+2], [6] vs [1+1] While your attack is parried, your spirit companion lunges through to tear at the monster.
+2 SummoningPlant monster takes moderate damage, still critically wounded.Cure serious wounds on Sargoth
[3][Luck 5] Your healing is weaker than intended, but refreshing and well-placed.
+4 RestorationSargoth heals moderate damage, now Moderately Wounded.Chop the plant monster up into tiny pieces. When it is dead, puree them and squeeze out the juice, then use my lightning to distill the extract into Ichor Liquor.
[4+2] vs [1+2] You strike the final blow, and the monster begins to collapse just as the lightning strikes.
Thorontur: [3][2] vs [5][1]
Plant: [2][5] vs [1][4]
Miraculously, the lightning inflicts only light injuries on its way out. It roasts the collapsing plant a bit better though, and its tumbled corpse is now smoking lightly.
Plant Abomination slain.+4 Polearms+4 LightningLight damage taken, now Critically Wounded.Ability Gained: Natural ConduitTry to grab and pull Paranatural out of his own bigass mistake before he dies.
[3] You don't manage to run all the way over in time. Curse those distracting demons and that hole.
Accept the help, and use my (apparently) masterful command of earth magic to have the earthen maw open and let us out.
[6-1][Luck 6] The earthen maw opens completely and even inverts, spiraling you and Nathan out and onto the ground. You're mostly unharmed from the fall.
+6 Earth MagicNo longer being ground to paste by own magic effect.Now Expert Earth MagicHelp Paranatural with my knowledge of enchantments.
[5] It occurs to you that a low-level earth enchant might very well be within your power. Enchant [6][Luck 2], Earth [3-1][Luck 2] You channel too much power into the enchant, and it doesn't hold. Let's never speak of your attempts at earth magic ever again.
Gently remove the ice from me and drive it as spikes into that plant.
[3][Luck 6] You manage to gently break the ice apart, but it's too little to escape. You're no longer suffocating, at least, and the cold stopped your bleeding.
+3 WaterTake light damage, now Critically Wounded.Kill everyone with plant magic!
GLORY TO THE PLANT!
[3][Luck 4] Newly freed from the plant's grasp, you proceed to
murder all your friends recover from the experience. You're a little woozy but otherwise alright, and counting yourself lucky you didn't take any hits for the plant. And hey, you've shown everyone how powerful plant magic can be!
The wyvern and angel attempt to finish their business. [2] vs [3+2], [2+2] vs [1] The angel splits the wyvern down the middle, and it dissipates into wispy smoke with an angry bellow.
The combo elemental struggles more. [6+2] vs [6+2] Once again, the fire elemental hangs on through momentum.
With all enemies slain, the looting and deciding what to do next begins. Nevermind that a giant plant monster you
just saw being created likely has nothing of value on it. Unless you count your own blood, of course.
Slightly short man with a long amethyst ponytail and eyes. Medium complexion, birthmark on left hand.
