Huh, I didn't notice iceball's name-adjustments at all until Tarran did it... very subtle.


Anyway, just to clarify the shared-body situation:

Ochita and Flagrarus are both probably permanently stuck in the body; it's not just like they're ghosts hanging out and can leave any time they like. Both can control the body essentially the same as they could their own, aside from competition. HmH is still technically in there but so barely aware that it hardly even counts; he can take basic actions like fleeing danger or approaching food, but not much else. The spirit is still probably capable of leaving like normal, but also probably has some measure of control. HmH has sort of hijacked it and been giving it orders because why not.

[Dwarmin]

Tactical plan: retrograde maneuver!

EDIT: Hey, if everyone is running away, can you just roll as many turns to until we all manage to get away or die Ironyowl?
Makes things alot faster!

[Flagrarus]

But I wonder, does this affect our magicking actions? I guess that would kind of depend on whether or not you need a body to use magic, or if it is tied to your spirit instead.

Because if it doesn't, then we could probably make some pretty huge staggered spells if we work together. Or, considering our track records, create a boss monster so strong it'll wipe everyone out in a single turn.

For some reason, I'm thinking you guys will end up like the two headed ogres from Warcraft.

"This way!
No, THAT WAY!"

[Paranatural]

Wait, so I successfully ran away but the plant hit me anyway?

[Tarran]

The plant hit you with it's mind.

[IronyOwl]

Kind of. It was borderline and the plant needed targets, so I let it happen. If it'd been a major hit I likely would have capped the damage or something, but it just tapped you anyway. This also means you're barely out of range now, so you don't need to run from the plant anymore unless it gets up. Or you want to rest, or something.

Generally speaking you can only take one action per body, so you'll need to fight over who gets it. A good result on some sort of synchronization roll would likely allow you to act in tandem for doing multiple things at once but with different parts, such as fighting with two weapons or, as you said, combining magical knowledge to cast combined spells.

[Flagrarus]

Well, for now, I say we run.

[HmH]

Yeah, guys, you're right. Retreat!
The Shambling Horror runs away from the plant.

The approximate plan for future actions is following:
1. Restore Nathan's mind, so the shambling horror doesn't have a slightest chance to interfere in spellcasting. We know how it goes when you have to roll three dice instead of two, don't we?
2. Restore our body with flesh(preferable, but currently impossible), healing ice(if undeadness won't conflict with it) or plants(a phrase "I AM ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL" summarizes my doubts perfectly. On the other hand, there's no staff anymore, so this may as well succeed).
3. Synchronize our actions for multitasking, join the rest of the party.
4. Gather seeds or buy them in the fort, enchant them with Imbue Concussion Bomb and learn to cast Seeking Seeds with one hand.

By the way, does one body count as one player, since it can only take one action, or is it in the party's best interests that we die?

[IronyOwl]

One body, one player. I might make exceptions if you manage to become a fully functional two-headed ogre or something, but when it's just a mass of you struggling over one body its just one member.

[Ochita]

Ochita, you can have the right half, and I'll take the left half. Nathan, you can borrow the head every once in a while.

Or maybe we should all just construct new bodies. Or maybe we should run away from the plant thing. Not my body, so not my call.

Lets do it.
Just before re run-away grab the body and cast a cause medium wounds on the plant.

Which body should we grab? There's quite a few of them lying around right now.

And you know we can only take one action right? Grabbing a body and running might be ok, but probably not casting a spell as well.

Well what if my side took my body, and your side took yours?
My side will grab my body and run away.
(Maybe one of us should go legs, arms, legs, arms)

[HmH]

There are four highly noticeable mentions in this turn that you two are STUCK IN MY BODY. As in, you are incapable of possessing anything else. Which means that corpses are useless to us.
Furthermore, even if certain outside influences like Dwarmin would succesfully free you, it's not like you are safe from dying or going dragnar should you try to possess something else. You have already had your streak of luck while rolling all sixes and fives on current possessing rolls, so I suggest we stick to what we have and simply grow ourselves more hands, mouths and other appendages as the need arises.

[Ochita]

WEll I have some necromancy and healing skill. I could technically combine the 2 to fully resurect someone. However I need more training...

EDIT: I would like to get expert on necromancy before I want to try it. Maybe frelock can do the healing part.
