Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [OOC]

[Friadoc]

Thanks, Lief.

Although, I'm pretty sure some folk think I'm just PC-suicidal.

This is due, of course, to my being pretty rough on the poor bastards, with the exception of my sorcerer in a PbP Pathfinder game run by hewligan.

There was a time, I admit, when I became very attached to my characters, and I would have been very upset to have happen to any of them what has happened to Firadoc. But time, age, maturity, and boredom have led me to the point where, I hope, that now if I had a character about to die horribly (but NOT become a chaos best! YUK!) I would just try to give him a memorable exit scene, and roll-up his replacement. The whole chaos beast thing, though, is just downright revolting! (But, in actuality, I was forgetting my favorite character, in Scotley's game, where the entire party is under a curse right now, from a lich that we battled to almost a draw.)

I guess I have some qualms about the inevitability of it...once that fort save was failed, he was pretty much doomed, and in a way that's much worse than death. That's pretty harsh for a relatively low-CR monster.

Ironically, one more level, and we'd be able to cure it ourselves...at which point it becomes justifiably low-CR.

 

[Scott DeWar]

man I hate this ... not being able to do anything about friadak. it stinks.

but that is my humble opinion

 

[Jemal]

Just for the record, Rokelsh will vehemently disagree with any suggestions to 'Kill Friadoc before he turns', and will defend the halfling if it comes to it.

 

[Friadoc]

"Oh, Rokelsh, I knew you cared," says Friadoc, through an agonizingly morphing face. "Give us a kiss, big boy!"

Yes, Obviously since this is in the OOC thread it is an OOC joke.

Honestly, I'm not too thrilled, either, but I think it adds a depth to the story, since it will give the party even more focus in cleansing the sewers, whatever happens to 'doc.

 

[Jemal]

Well, so far it looks like over the next 2.3 minutes Friadoc looses 3 wis...
What's that put you at?

 

[Shayuri]

lol...if I'd ever intended to carry that sentence out IC, I'd have posted it in the IC forum.

Still, it's good to be clear, I suppose.

as will corwynn

Well, if he does turn, I'm hoping Rokelsh sees it coming and gets out of touch range (hmmm, maybe Dyspeer could smell him changing and give a growl? Shai did set him to defend Rokelsh, not Friadoc. ). If not, we might have a horrible domino effect going on here... heh.

I suppose we really didn't prepare as we ought to have. We had a good idea there was another chaos beast down there, and saw what it had done to the kobolds. It never occured to me to see if we could round up a scroll of any kind that might have the proper remedy.

Fingers crossed and all that.
