Turn 57: NO ESCAPE.RUN AWAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!
[2] vs [2] Your inept fumblings can't quite outpace the plant's inept graspings. You fail to escape.
Strategic Retreat
[5] vs [4] You narrowly outpace the plant, and
should be safe.
Cowardly running!
[3] vs [4] You fail to escape, despite your severe cowardice.
paint more sticky runes on the rock lizardthing.
[4] vs [5] You fail to rerune the lizardthing.
[3] It barely manages to wrench itself off the existing runes.
The spirit screams for his brethren to get him out of this hellish husk, hopefully attracting some of the braver spirits.
[3][Luck 5] No new spirits are called, but the path is opened, and the being once known as Nathan gets a stir of consciousness.
My spirit will leave my body and help to inhabit HmHs body.
[6][Luck 6] YOU LIVE ONCE MORE! Well, not "live," and you don't have
exclusive control over this body, and you're kind of stuck here... but still.
Possess HmH
[6][Luck 5] YOU LIVE ONCE MORE! Well, not "live," and you don't have
exclusive control over this body, and you're probably stuck here... but at least when nobody else is using it, you don't seem to have any more trouble controlling this body than you did your own.
[2][Luck 6] Nathan fails to reawaken to any meaningful extent, but his vague consciousness takes over as the body's reflexes and instinct.
[6][Luck 3] Fre miraculously stabilizes, albeit very close to where the plant is crushing things.
[6] The ice-thing assaults Tarran. [2-1] vs [2-1] His acute senses seem to grant him greater defensive advantage, and he dodges despite being blind.
[5] The plant is once again enraged at everything.
"Nathan": [5-1] vs [1+1]
Sargoth: [5-1] vs [4+1]
Tarran: [2-1] vs [5+1]
Dwareet'ik: [6-1] vs [5+1]
Ice: [2-1] vs [4+1]
Sargoth and Dwareet'ik are lightly smacked by the thick, whipping vines, while the ice thing suffers a fair battering and looks near the edge. "Nathan" instinctively lashes out with his new claws, drawing scores across the plant's appendage, though this isn't very harmful.
Tarran, sadly, takes the full force of the plant's wrath, [1][Luck 3] and promptly collapses. A faint glow emanates briefly from his falling shell, as though his soul were being spirited to the realm of the gods in thanks for his service. Or to chew him out for failing.
(Resist 2) The plant continues its smoldering.
[1][Luck 1] Perhaps having expended their energy, the beanpod-things burst into strange goo. Bizarre.
Ochita, Flagrarus, a spirit summoned in a last-ditch effort by Dwareet'ik, and Nathan's vaguely aware instincts all find themselves in the same body. They will likely have to learn to share.
Slightly short man with a long amethyst ponytail and eyes. Medium complexion, birthmark on left hand.
