[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7327703, member: 6777052"] There was a blur as Od cartwheeled around the medusa, leapt nimbly upon the altar, grabbed a candlestick [i]en passant[/i] and hurled it through the doorway. He was rewarded with an "oof" sound as it struck an approaching [i]other[/i] on the nose (or possibly snout). Dotti screamed. It wasn't the scream of a thwarted villain, it wasn't the scream of a banshee having its throat cut, it wasn't even the scream of a bad actress in a horror movie. It was the scream of a medusa whose recently-combed snakes were suddenly on fire and rapidly turning into carbonised ex-snakes. Nord had cast [i]Combust Serpent[/i]. Pleased his success, he glanced down at his hands and wondered idly why they were growing feathers. They were quite pretty feathers, mostly a kind of irridescent green with yellow stripes, but not the sort of feathers you expect to see on a storm sorcerer. Not often, anyway. A dull thud came from outside the door as Snappy's deftly lofted football dropped into and through the bottomless bucket and bounced off the head of a second [i]other[/i] as it hove noisily into the room. Snappy grinned his special toothy grin and looked round for approval from Xena. She, however, was too drunk to appreciate it and called for a glass of djinn and vermouth. No-one brought her one, though. Herewulf remembered that it was his turn next. He drew his rapier, cried the battle cry of the unforgotten and lunged. He didn't actually lunge [i]at[/i] anything in particular, which is perhaps why he didn't hit it; but it was impressive ayway and was absolutely the right thing for a paladin to do. But then the [i]other other[/i] arrived. Its evil aura crashed into the room and Herewulf was overwhelmed. His knees turned to jelly, although being a gelatinous paladin anyway he bore it with considerable fortitude, and he was suddenly seized with a loathing of his own shield, which he flung away from him as far as he could. And then, and then, the [i]other other[/i] raised a mantled arm, opened its grim and grisly mouth and spoke. "[color=teal]I use [i]Turn Living[/i][/color]," it announced with awful finality. "[color=teal]I want you all to make Wisdom saves. The DC is 17 and you get disadvantage because reasons[/color]." [/QUOTE]
