RL: Now the other basilisk!
8+7+11-1= 25.
You get close enough to the other basilisk that you can carve him open like a thanksgiving turkey, but far away enough that you won't get cooked like one. You slash at the remaining enemy, doing your current maximum of 21 damage.
Snakesprite takes a point of damage from the fire, and also attacks the fire basilisk, but he rolls
another grave blunder. What are the odds? He takes 5 damage in the ensuing confusion.
The fire basilisk attacks your sprite in a desperate bid to reduce the number of enemy combatants, but only does 9 damage, leaving your sprite with 2 hit points, and conscious.
Looks like it's time to pull the plug on this place. (YEAAAAH!)
>CR: Attempt to pull the rod out of the mountain and run like hell.
You spend a few minutes trying to pull this enormous rod out of the volcano like the plug out of a bathtub. It doesn't show any signs of budging though. More importantly, your ADVENTURER SENSE tells you that this rod is not a plug, but some form of... Device? You guess? Your ADVENTURER SENSE was not very specific on the point. Whatever it is, it is not something you want to try ripping out of the ground, if only because it would be a waste of your time.
Would you like to spend some time contemplating the MYSTERY OF THE VOLCANO ROD?
That means I have 4 points in my lobby. GET ME THE FUCK OUT SO I CAN USE THEM.
Actually, 3 and 4 points. Maybe you'd like to bargain with the Elder Gods for consciousness? Not that I'd suggest it, but it is a thing you could do. If you were to do so, however, they could choose to force you into GRIMDARK mode whenever they chose, effectively turning your alignment to lawful evil, with all the team fracturing backstabbing that comes with that.
