Turn 4: More Burning"Aww, crud. I can't help the fire, I'll try to keep it from burning you more though!" Garied desperately raises more slabs to deflect attacks.
[2+2] vs [4] You're barely too slow, and the fire slips through. [4] vs [1] You are lit on fire as a result.
-3 HPOn Fire: Will take 3 damage next round"The hell!"
Put self out.
Fire spirit: Subdue Ice spirit.
[1][Luck 2] You scream and flail a lot, before collapsing in a smoldering heap.
[5] Fortunately you managed to frantically motion to your servant first. [6] vs [6] They seem evenly matched. [5] vs [2] Or at least, they seemed evenly matched with the fire spirit attacking. The ice spirit does a much better job, wounding its foe.
-3 HPNow DyingPut up a shield of holy magic.
[5][Luck 4] You expertly put up a minor shield.
[5+1] vs [2-1] You try to dodge on your wounded knee. It goes badly, and the demon impales you painfully just below the ribcage.
-3 HP+4 Holy MagicHoly Shield: +1 Piercing ResistThrow monkeys off spear, then stab some more!
[2][Luck 5] You fail to fling them off, but the effect is rather disturbing to the existing monkeys.
[4+2] vs [1] You add another monkey to the spear.
[2-2] vs [3] The last monkey on you has had enough of that. It turns to flee into the trees.
+4 SpearsAnimate both dead monkeys Taric just dumped, but make them perceive the world and function as a single entity.
[4+1][Luck 3], [4+1][Luck 6] You animate all three monkeys currently impaled on Taric's spear as some sort of horrible amalgamation. It's rather disturbing and rather weak, but hardy and obviously not de-animating anytime soon. It's also disturbingly self-aware.
[6-2][6-2][3-2] vs [4][3][6] The monkeys ferociously descend upon you, but you get off with a few scrapes to your arm.
+4 Necromancy-1 HP"Both of you attack the monkies. " with that Tarok jumps back, and summons up another demon, but this time one made to block all attacks coming at him.
[5] Your blob of... stuff obeys. [3] vs [4] It just sort of stares at one of the monkeys, and nothing happens.
[1] The goat-thing has had enough, and turns to attack you. [1] vs [1] Fortunately it's bad at it.
[4][Luck 4] You successfully summon something vaguely resembling a squat humanoid armadillo.
[5-2][1-2][5-2] vs [6][5][1] The monkey clinging to you savagely bites you some more.

Now might be a good time to explain how dying works.
You die at -5 HP, but when you're dropped, you continue to take damage equal to the attack that dropped you until it's healed or you perish. Healing reduces this amount.
I might bump this to dying at -10, but that seems a little excessive. I'll probably also allow some sort of don't-die-on-your-own check.
