D&D Wargaming: Good OOC

[Carnifex]

Just checked the IC thread to see a transparent dragon, probably our old friend who got disintegrated now in undead form, has turned up to wreak his revenge

Definitely getting that ghost touch enhancement on my lord's axe now, for sure! This might also be a good time for the high level cleric of Theren to turn up and turn undead

The ghost is the dragon. I don't know how, but he is. Now I'm going to make him pay. I don't think he's foolish enough to attack me alone, so watch out everyone.

It's undead? I can probably kill it in one touch with my Lay on Hands. =D

If it takes you longer than three or four rounds to kill it, I'll gate in, but I'd rather save my transportation for an immediate counter-attack, if, with your scrying, we can find a good location to do so.

I guess he is most likely a ghost, since that's the most likely form of undead to arise spontaneously (if he were animated with a necromancy spell he'd be a zombie and other forms of undead generally are spawned when killed by an undead of that type). And ghosts are *nasty*.

And they also tend to reform again a few days after they get killed, IIRC. Generally you have to find out what's keeping them from the afterlife and resolve it. This may of course be different - indeed I *hope* it's different or else this guy will keep on coming back to get us

Thinking about it, a wall of force might be a good implement for trying to hem in a ghost, since IIRC force effects go into the ethereal as well. And magic missile too, of course

What would you counterattack though? The undead dragon is all that's left of his army, isn't it? And the other forces have probably made damn sure their stronghold's are forbiddance'd now.

Looks like I'm going to need to map out Lowgate...

I can heal once per day for 100 damage (Will save half) and lay on hands for another 117 damage, and then throw some cure critical wounds if it somehow survives. Any undead that is a reasonable CR won't have enough hit points to take that much damage. The original dragon had 13 HD, which means the ghost probably only has 90 hp. I can do walls of force, but that will only make the dragon attack something else, unless we can trap it on 6 sides with Walls of Force.

Oh my god, that would be sweet!

I'm still gonna kill it with positive energy, though. Positive energy, negative energy, force effects, and ghost touch effects have no incorporeal miss chance.

Well, if needed, I can always dimension door leapfrog across the Green Desert and find a place myself. Shouldn't take more than a couple hours, and much less to cross the desert, with dimension door once per round for 960 feet each; that's 110 miles per hour.

Why? Is it attacking specific places, outside the town square where the speechifying was going on?
