Turn 22: Olympic DemonsWell then, let's try a simple cure light wounds on HmH.
[2+1][Luck 2] You barely manage to conjure any healing power, and it dissipates before you can use it.
Observe the demons. Try and get some idea of what they are doing. Are they just puppets who have no controller at the moment?
[2] You can't figure out anything about the demons from observing them. Maybe you're too far away.
Yell "I'm gonna kill yoooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" and charge right past the humans so I can make demon stir-fry.
Remarkably, the demons turn and run as you approach. Aside from that one incident, you've never seen a demon run before, not even from certain death. [2] vs [6] Their tireless stampeding leaves you in the dust. Are they fleeing back to their nest?
CLimb out of the wyvern then doubble-team a demonn with it
[6-1][Luck 2] The wyvern tosses you gracefully from its mouth, then tries to charge after the demons and trips over you. You're not hurt, but neither of you is catching anything right this moment.
I reconfigure the dissipation enchantment and focus it on the tip of the blade.
Enchanting [5][Luck 1], Destruction [2+2][Luck 2]. You manage to focus destructive power on the tip of the blade, but it just shatters, leaving you with a slightly broken and unenchanted dagger.
Dissipating Steel Dagger
turned into Slightly Broken Steel DaggerI shout at Frelock, and then search around the area for some Ph@t l00t (sorry), or some demons to kill.
You notice the fleeing demons, and give chase. [2] vs [5]. Since when were these things that fast?
Photosynthesize.
[5][Luck 4] You breathe deeply, soaking up the sun's rays. When you exhale, you notice you're glowing, and feel ready to do anything.
