[Adventure]: The Bane of the Black Dragon (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

[Voda Vosa]

In a perfect demonstration of mental lapse, Vermitrax retrieves a vial of purple liquid and another, smaller vial of red liquid, but forgets what's the correct proportion of one into the other. He mixes, apparently too much of the red component, and a violent reaction is ensured, bubbling acid quickly shooting up the purple vial. To save his hands, Vermitrax throws the acid bottle in a random direction, while swearing at his feeble memory. By virtue of pure casuality, some of the acid splashes the Corruption corpse.

OOC: Somehow, CC takes 1 acid damage after two 1s.

 

[Luinnar]

OOC: Sorry for the delay, was waiting to give CA and then take my turn, but change my mind

Dragon smash! Sharpe shouts. And the dragon did smash as dragons do, but not enough to smash the zombie to pieces.

The large zombie falls from the attack of the monk. Two other zombies fall as well, one from the blade of the barbarian and the other chomped in half by the dragon. Zhane swarm of insects cause the foul smelling corpse to moan in pain as well as destract him leaving his guard down. It still manages to fling a ball of filth at Zharne, hitting him square in the chest. Zharne feels weakened by the attack.

Zhane sprays a swarm of insects cause the foul smelling corpse to moan in pain as well as destract him leaving his guard down. It still manages to fling a ball of filth at Zharne, hitting him square in the chest. Zharne feels weakened by the attack. The ever observant fighter notices the foe starting begin to move its massive limbs. It then stands up and clenches its fist, raising them above its head, looking for another target to smash. However, this creates an opening for the construct, which stands PRIMED and ready (ooc: sorry...I couldn't resist )
