[sblock=Heal Skill] Boy oh boy do you know what to do: this magical mold is not going to respond to much that won't fry Julius. Also, you're not sure this is normal Brown Mold, which would simply grow in size and cover more of the wall. This one is jumping onto its targets as it freezes them; it's like the active heat is fuelling this jump.
Regular brown mold needs cold to kill it, to counter-act the heat-drain-growth. This may work for it, but it may damage him and anyone else the mold touches, which could hurt with all the freezing. You may need another solution to clean it off him... [/sblock]


Everyone around Julius feels the sensation that the (already cold) air around him is starting to drop in temperature!

[sblock=Everyone]((Reflex Save DC16 from everyone directly around Julius. That's Renya for sure, and Keepiru, and maybe Jack. Anyone within five feet of Julius.

Julius: you take 3 cold damage! Apparently the mold is distracted today(?) and doesn't kill you with the freezing-ness.[/sblock]

 

[SelcSilverhand]

Keepiru's face looks more and more worried as the mold seems to grow under their very gaze. The air temperature is continuing to drop rapidly. He suddenly stands up from crouching over Julius and shouts to the Scholar, "The bowl and ladle! Bring it here quickly!"

Upon retrieving the bowl from the scholar, Keepiru dashes the contents over Julius's chest and the mold spreading there.

[SBLOCK]
Even if something bad happens, Keepiru will still try to get Julius splashed with the bowl water before treating himself if he failed the save.

[sblock=Oh noes!]
However will I explain that to the others!?

Save vs the cold 1d20+7=23 - that's something at least
[/sblock]

A worried look crosses Renya's face as if a horrible realisation has come over her. Rather than adding branches to the smouldering pile of tinder, she brushes the twigs aside, and reaches inside the leather jack she wears over her chain vest. Beckoning Ragnor, Sindri and Keepiru closer, she takes out a piece of chalk and squats on the ground.

She draws a very rudimentary stick figure then points at Julius. Next she draws something resembling a fire, pointing to one of the lit torches to reinforce the point. She then rubs it out while shaking her head and pointing to Julus again. In the place of the fire she draws a snowflake, then another and wraps her hands around her torso as if to mime shivering. Then points again at Julius, gently taking the blanket from him and stepping a few feet back.

With that she looks enquringly at the arcanely gifted members of the group.

[sblock=OOC]Oh yeah, play a mute, *great* idea genius Somewhere a GM is laughing evilly... EDIT and Selc posted while I was writing so avoid being splashed while writing[/sblock]

<<The forums ate my post! I thought this was dealt with already...>>

Kain yelled from across the room. "Maybe you should spread it all over your body! The rubbing it on your arm is doing wonders!"

As he watched the group grow more concerned, Kain started back towards the group. "What, is he actually dying?"

Noting the cold, Kain says, "Well, I gots some Oracle magic to help, but I gotta touch 'im to protect 'im... and I'm gonna protect me first."

<<Kain casts resist energy (cold) on self>>
<<Kain casts resist energy (cold) on Julius>>
<<Kain casts cure light wounds on Julius: 1d8+5=6>>

 

[fireinthedust]

Kain's spells work.

[sblock=kain] Could you, if you would, do a Reflex save when you touch Julius? [/sblock]

Those whose speed was enough to avoid the mold, avoid another wave of the frigid cold.

Keepiru gets the Ladle from the Scholar, and splashes the water on Julius' chest. Immediately the mold disappears, vanishing from his chest and outward all over his body.

[sblock=grufflehead] Somewhere? RIGHT HERE! hahahahahaaaa. From now on Renya gets to learn all the convoluted plots of the main bbeg's! What's that, Renya? You know something vital but your chalk's missing? But... I don't understand you... okay, you'll have to show me. Okay, first word. Sounds like... bug. Spider. Grasshopper? ((insert Renya trying desperately to sign "antidisestablishmenterianism"))

Jack gets lucky and avoids the blast of cold from the mold. Sindri hovers nearby trying to get a good view of what's going on but just manages to get underfoot a little. His suggestions to help are rather outlandish and clearly not useful (and perhaps more than a little dangerous). Luckily those working to aid Julius manage to carry on despite Sindri's 'help'.

Okay, I'm going to need some example "suggestions" from Sindri here. I need at least three. Sounds like your suggestions are going to start with the phrase "knock knock"? [/sblock]

Sindri squints at Julius deep in thought. "How 'bout we scrape the mold off with a dagger? It can't be too deep yet so it wouldn't be any worse than a Qadiran sand bath. Acid might burn it off. We could fill up the pool and let Julius soak it off. Oh! That water seems like a good idea. If we immerse him it might kill all of it; he may need to be under a while, though."
