Yay!

The Blood Fox sounds nasty. And the Djinn and ...

Yay!

Sagiro’s Story Hour, Part 180

Soon the Company is soaring over the jungle at 35 MPH. It takes a few minutes for Pewter to overcome his terror at riding so high on dragon-back, but he can dig his scales into Aravis’ scaly back as deeply as he needs to. The wind-walkers match speeds with the dragon. Below them the jungle speeds by.

…to be continued…

Ahem. Unless that poor bloody cat has had a nasty encounter with a certain wand of magic missiles that I don't remember laughing about.... you mean dig his CLAWS in Aravis's scaly back


Edit:
just read the djinn bit... My my Sagiro, you've been reading Pratchett again haven't you? Damned djini's with more than one thing to do.
Zustiur.

Ah, EN World... land of a thousand proofreaders.

Now the Blood Fox was indeed a nasty, speedy little bundle of fur and ouch. But the really brilliant moment was when Aravis (the player) got home and told his wife (Iron Chef BBQ) of the evening's fun.

"Why didn't you just cast Magic Missile at it?" asked Chef, who plays a mid-level sorceror in my game, and knows the power of MM.

The sound of the collective forehead slapping when Aravis told us this could be heard four streets away. D'oh.

Ug. Us smart gamers. Us play many years. Us forget first level spells.

"Why didn't you just cast Magic Missile at it?" asked Chef,

I wondered that very thing. "Dodged a dagger and a chain lightning? Ooh, high AC and evasion. They'll have to magic missile it."

Polymorph Other or other non-ray fortitude-save spell would also work.

A fantastic update. Sagiro's updates, while few and far between, are generally quite satisfying, as they are meaty, full of substance, and also huge.

Lots of reading makes for a happy target.

Is there any chance we might be able to see the stats of the Blood Fox in another thread? I'm willing to bet it's just a fox or something with a natural haste effect, but I want to know for sure.

“Suit yourself,” says Pewter. “I have complete faith that I’m going to land on my feet when I… ABANDON DRAGON!”

Pewter can talk, now? I remember the party used speak with animals in order for him to relay information between Avris (in the maze) and themselves at one point, so is this new?

Not that I'm complaining I've always liked Pewter. That line had me laughing for a while.

Naw... That's just Pewter and Aravis "talking" over their standard mage-and-familiar mind link. Sorry for the confusion.
