[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7310471, member: 6777052"] "Something I've always wondered about ghosts," wondered Herewulf wonderingly, "Can ghosts see ghosts?" "Why not?" replied Od. "Well, some people can see ghosts and some ghosts can see people but how do we know if ghosts we can't see can see other ghosts we can't see, if we can't see them seeing them?" "You're overthinking it. It only matters if ghosts can see [I]us[/I] because if they can, they're probably dangerous." "Like that big one over there in the Acropolis, you mean? The one that's waving at us and beckoning us towards it?" "Definitely. Extremely dangerous. Just look at the way it's pointing to that big sarcophagus that's so obviously full of treasure and signalling that we should help ourselves. It's such an obvious trap." "Funny, it doesn't [I]smell[/I] evil. Just sort of blank. Anyway, how are we at fighting ghosts? I quite fancy doing some [I]Smiting[/I]. Do you have any useful spells? How about you, Nord?" "I think I might stand well back and use [I]Witch Bolt[/I]," replied the pirate. "You barge in and smite away but don't get in the way of my lightning. Metal armour and all that." "I suppose you know ghosts have resistance to lightning?" "Ghosts have resistance to practically everything. It just takes twice as long, that's all." "Okay, we have a plan. Jeli, you had better keep the children away." At this suggestion, there was a shrill chorus of "Oh no, we're not scared. We have unicorns." "Have it your own way," replied Od, starting up a stiring melody on his flute as they all began a determined march towards the ghost to the beat of "Glory, Glory, Halelujah." But with different words, obviously. The ghost, seeing that waving in a friendly fashion was out of fashion, turned hostile, waited until everyone was in range and then shouted "BOO!". It was gratified when several of the little girls shrieked in terror and aged 1d4x10 years at the horror of it all. Xena (18¾) was suddenly very grown up but she was the lucky one. Amanda was now 49, still single and in the presence of three fairly-eligible bachelors if you aren't too fussy and at that age you can't afford to be. The relentless march continued, minus a few suddenly-not-so-young-but-nevertheless-still-terrified ladies, and Nord began his [I]Witch Bolt[/I] attack. Lightning poured forth from his hands and a smell of ozone grew in intensity until eveyone's eyes started to sting. Meanwhile, Herewulf closed in and started smiting. This seemed to worry the ghost, if only because it was actually the ghost of Sir Noxious of Phlem, waiting all eternity for redemption and unlikely to get it, and he knew all about Smiting. And he recognised something about Herewulf, too. "Hey, that's my shield!" shouted the ghost inaudibly. It would have been a lengthy fight, the attackers doing little damage each round, had the ghost not turned the tables by [I]possessing[/I] Jeli. "?" said Herewulf. "?" said Nord. "???" said Od.
