[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5729109, member: 60965"] [B]Match Two: The Jade Tomb, Round 20[/B] The ghost appears a moment after it flickers away, only to be blasted by Corragan and Sha'kar, dissipated the moment it appears. Ignatz circles around to spot another chest overflowing with gold (painted) coins and a third block of [COLOR=Lime]'treszur'[/COLOR]. [GM]At the start of Ignatz's turn, the ghost would have re-appeared and attacked Ignatz. I rolled a Nat1 for its attack though so its fine. We'll just assume Corragan readied his action before the ghost appeared. I rolled a 24 for it, which it made its Spectral Resistance against. So, I'll bump Sha'kar's readied Magic Weapon gets 18 and is Jade Bane so destroys it. As a note, there can be many manifestations of the jade ghost (currently up to 8 to be precise), so even if there's one present, another can still appear.[/GM] [sblock=Combatants][B]-Party-[/B] [B]Corragan[/B]: [COLOR=Silver]J19[/COLOR], [COLOR=Lime]21[/COLOR]/28hp [B]Sha'kar[/B]: [COLOR=Silver]L19[/COLOR], [COLOR=Lime]25[/COLOR]/30hp [B]Rilissa[/B]: [COLOR=Silver]K19[/COLOR], [COLOR=Lime]18[/COLOR]/27hp [B]Ignatz[/B]: [COLOR=Silver]M13[/COLOR],[COLOR=Lime] [COLOR=Orange]3[/COLOR][COLOR=White]+[/COLOR][COLOR=Red]14[/COLOR][/COLOR]/30hp, [COLOR=DarkSlateGray]resist 5 force[/COLOR] [B]Dina[/B]: [COLOR=Silver]M19[/COLOR], [COLOR=Lime]24[/COLOR]/24hp [B]-Enemy-[/B] [B]Jade Ghost[/B]: [COLOR=Silver]Dissipated[/COLOR] Jade Ghost(Undead): Minion.
