This lich used to be a bard. He gets his power from music.
"And you're just now telling me this?"
I'm certainly not going to make stealing my body easy for you. I'd rather you not damage it fighting elephants, though.
Smash the speaker.
You look around for the source of the music. (6) And find it embedded in the mouth of a creepily smiling clown statue. Clobbering time. (4) You smash the speaker, and that infernal music stops. The elephants are still moving... (6) And then they fall apart. The source of these abominations' animating force appears to be the music. Good to know. You walk behind the curtain that the elephants came through, and into an even bigger tent-like structure. That would not fit inside that castle. You must have been transported underground while you were in the first room. The music is louder in here, and you see more speakers than you could break, all out of your reach. The lich's voice crackles from the loudspeaker, "Hm... Having just the one speaker in there was a mistake, wasn't it hero? I'm sure you'll like your new friend..." A door with "FREAKSHOW" over it opens up, and a monstrous undead thing shambles out. It's about ten feet tall, and has seven arms, each with a different circusy weapon (including: balloon sword, whip, huge barbell, throwing knives, squeaky horn, baton, and a bubble gun), which all emit an aura of magic. It has three heads, one with a jester's hat and makeup, one with a top hat, and one with a big curly mustache. "I tired of employing SO many carnies, so I just combined them all into one! Isn't that exciting! You kids have fun now!" The music increases in volume as the monster comes towards you.
MINIBOSS! (5 vs 6) Torir makes a strong effort, and takes over the body. (I swear, if you end up controlling this thing...)
"Kraken seduction?" Ax buried his face in his hands and shook his head. I'm really going to have to be stealthy, I'm sure as hell not going to let anyone catch me carrying anything intended for sleeping with frickin' tentacle beasts... and not in the cement shoes kind of way. He sighed, stretched, and looked around for the FrobozzCo building. It was probably pretty tall judging from the fact Naktinna said the earrings were in a safe on the top floor, so it probably wouldn't be too hard to find.
Hmm, what to do when I get there, though? He needed a plan of attack. I could just try climbing the outside of the building, although anyone could easily see me doing that... I guess I'll think more about it when I get there. He would definitely look for a fire escape or something similar, anyway.
Where could FrobozzCo be? (6) Maybe it's this big building with the sign saying FrobozzCo! You walk around back to look for a ladder or something. (4) There's a fire escape that looks like it goes about 3/4 of the way up the building, but it's pretty rickety.
Swing around, kick the fuck out of those zombies, enter the fore door.
You try to stand up and take out those zombies, (1) but you fall on your face like an idiot. (2) An unconscious idiot. You knock yourself out, and wake up strapped to the bottom of a wooden ship, with water streaming by you. You're being keelhauled. Great. At least you can breathe underwater. You get dragged up the side of the ship, and a pair of skeletons haul you on deck. Still underwater, by the way. You love the Plane of Water. The skeletons tie you to the mast, and a man in
very fancy pirate gear comes out of the ship's cabin. He looks up, and you recognize him as the pirate lich that attacked you in the Air Plane. He grins, and says "Didja know that ye' need to destroy a lich's phylactery in order to kill him dead? And my phylactery is kept
veeeery safe by my crew here." He gestures to some zombies. "Throw 'im in the brig." The zombies untie you and take you to be locked up in a cell. You see your stuff on a table in the hold as you go by.You get thrown into a cell (all still underwater) and left with no company but the ratfish.
Oooh. Swords. Take a Sword, Take a book, Knowledge......"
You reach up and grab the most badass looking sword there. It feels... Real, like it has no respect for magic. You like this sword. You decide to name it Sword. You also grab one of the wizard's books. (4) It has a spell of firebolt in there! You can shoot fire from your hands! FUN! You hear some buzzing from the top of the stars. Maybe more of those bugs.
Roll out of the way at the last second so they run into eachother.
The two vampires come charging at you. (6) Yu jump up right as they stab at you, and they impale each other. They burst into flame, and disappear. You just took out a room full of vampires with your bare hands. The room you are in appears to be a small chapel dedicated to Smakkim, the
neutral god of fisticuffs. That explains why the vampires weren't affected - being ninjas, they would have been worshippers of this god. You look around for any loot the vampires might have dropped. It seems that all of their stuff was burned when they died. Oh well.
HAMMERTIME
You ignore your injuries, and charge at the monsters, ready to ban some life! (4+1) You swing Lifeban in a horizontal arc, to get both of the monsters. (dodge:3, 3) Lifeban strikes true! You samck the monsters, one after the other! (damage:2+2, 6+2) You hit one solidly, and the other explodes. Literally, explodes. You are covered in Slaad guts, and the one who wasn't quite dead was killed in the blast. Fun. You should probably rest now.

Will do anything asked of him unless he has a reason not to (if it conflicts with an existing goal or his basic morality). Lawful Good (as in lawful as the opposite of chaotic).

Profession: Paladin.
Background: His people believe themselves to be the only true guardians of the material plane; the best way to help the mortal inhabitants of said plane is by not touching anything. Obviously this is what The Creator had in mind, and any who meddle in the plane, and therefore blaspheme The Creator, are to be punished severely.
