Hot crap on a stick!Eric: You lucky old coot! *wheeze*Darkness: He's pretty hot with those dice tonight, isn't he? Look at the wild spin he gives 'em before they land! Old boy must be cheating or something! Gargoyle: Oh, he's been that way ever since the palsy set in. We just let him spin.Piratecat: All right, that's a hit with my my fal- my fal- whatever you call the thing, my Big curved sword-thing! For (rolls) 11 points of damage! All right! *wheeze*Eric: All right, you wounded him pretty badly - let's see - confound it, I can't read the hit-point totals - left muh bi-focals on the canasta table... Gargoyle: That's 43 damage total, Eric.Darkness: Right it is - (checks init) my action, and I want to - use a domain spell!

My Siatica is acting up again, and I've got that date with Ashtal again! We're going to go cruising the game stores and feed the pigeons!Eric: Oh, fine then. Piratecat, you old galoot, it's your turn again.Piratecat: I rear up, *wheeze* I raise my Falchion, *wheeze*and I say... *wheeze* *thump!!* Gargoyle: Kevin, you all right?Darkness: (checks for breathing) He's dead, Jim. That last dice roll must have done him in.Eric: Oh, well.... Oh, Crap! Where am I going to find a new player now to take over his character?Darkness: I hear Henry is available - as long as he changes his oxygen tank every couple of hours, he's a spunky puppy!Eric: Great! I'll call him tomorrow! Now we got to call an orderly about Piratecat. One thing - could somebody help me pry the dice from his fingers? Those are some perfectly good dice...</blockquote>
