[QUOTE="Joshua Randall, post: 9634693, member: 7737"] WIS 3. Definitely. These gamebooks are like one of those made-for-TV action movies with a nonsense plot, iffy acting, and surprisingly awesome special effects and action scenes. We should also remember the audience was younger teenage boys (predominantly). Not a group known for its discerning taste in the written word. While we knocked the older paladin off his horse with our extend-o-staff, Dalris and Rufyl teamed up against the younger paladin. Or more specifically against its horse: Dalris waved her sword such that the horse reared up, and Rufyl stung it while it was distracted. [B][I]The horse's eyes roll and its tongue lolls loosely just before the paralyzed beast collapses on top of its stunned rider, crushing him instantly.[/I][/B] So yeah. Dalris and Rufyl harmed an animal, of the non man-eating variety. And then said animal crushed a brainwashed paladin to death. Heroes! Also, is this the same Polymorph Other spell that required the target to be nicely positioned for several minutes and also required a precise description of the new form it would take? I'm beginning to think this book doesn't follow its own precedents as closely as a nit-picky person like me would prefer. HaHA! I do like the idea of "a" tarrasque that retains Dalris's mind and character abilities. I'd like to imagine it climbing a tower with a sword gripped in one T-rex style short arm; then when it gets to the top, it yowls in bardic song to lull everyone around into slumber. I would also like to imagine that prior to this, Dalrrasque decided to eat Carr because [I]he turned her into a freakin' giant monster[/I]. [/QUOTE]
