Turn 55: Thou Shalt Not PassWhile it is prone, deal a final knocking out blow to the lizard with my bucket.
[5] vs [4-1] You give it a good thwack and it collapses.
+3 Improvised WeaponsTry to stand between our worse wounded and the plant. Parry all attacks from the plant next turn.
[5] vs [2] You expertly position yourself between it and your allies.
+4 TacticianUse the water as a focus to call into being an Ice Warrior
[1] You summon
something, as the water begins to writhe and throb. The result is a circular mass of icy water with numerous spikes and tendrils of ice and water. It looks hostile.
+5 SummoningCast Transfusion on the plant, heal everyone who is heavily wounded or worse.
[5+1][Luck 1](Resist 1) You rip large amounts of energy from the plant, but it is channeled into the dividing beanpods you now seem to be inhabiting. They explode outwards, continuing to grow and beginning to separate into writhing vine horrors themselves.
(Resist 2) The effect on your body expires, as does it. You can feel yourself following suit, as your consciousness is beginning to slip from your current beanpod shell.
+4 PlantI cower behind Tarran and cast bolster on him!
[6+1][Luck 1] You infuse Tarran with life... which also temporarily blinds him for some reason. Oops.
+4 SpiritTarran bolstered, blinded.NOM NOM NOM PLANNNNT.
[6-1][Luck 4](Resist 2) You expertly drain the plant's vital essence, albeit with a low-level spell.
+4 NecromancyNow Novice at NecromancyDeal light damage to plant, heal light damage.New Spell: Drain Life (Necromancy 1)Breath of Life on Nathan.
[1][Luck 2], [6][Luck 5] Nathan, or what used to be Nathan, lets loose an unholy scream as he... it... rises as a skeletal horror. In a stroke of strange luck, it doesn't seem to need to feast on you to sustain itself... which would be much more comforting if it weren't essentially mindless.
+5 NecromancySkeletal Horror raised.Now Apprentice at NecromancyCast Fiery Detonate(amplified to Level 4) on the plant.
[3] You begin rifling through nearby stuff for stuff. [1] The thing hits you, so you hit it back.
[3] vs [3] Fre narrowly avoids the slashing claws of The Horror Formerly Known As Nathan.
Try to find another, weaker demon to kill, then try to absorb that one's energy to heal myself.
[3][Luck 2] You find what look like demon tracks, but no killable demons.
Create a stone wall for us all to hide behind, to protect us from the newest threat.
[6+1][Luck 3] You create a massive sheet of rock between your allies and the skeletal horror, but can't quite wall off the ice-thing. Ochita seems like he's okay for now.
+2 Earth[3] The ice-thing lashes out twice at its summoner. [5+1][5+1] vs [3+1][1] The first attack very slightly hits Seymore, but the second can really only be described as impalement. He takes heavy damage and is now critically wounded.
[2] The screaming plant seems out of steam, as it merely lashes out with two attacks. Both are directed at Tarran out of necessity.
[1+2][2+2] vs [5+3][5+2] Not much goes into the attack that it's able to pull back, as Tarran's expert swordplay hacks it apart.
Plant takes heavy damage. Plant is Heavily Wounded.Slightly short man with a long amethyst ponytail and eyes. Medium complexion, birthmark on left hand.
