The Rod of Seven Parts: Kauai Team OOC

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Maggots … I wonder where is the zombie they infested his body? Did you check the closet?

Naw, not overnight. That trash bag had been in there since Friday evening. We don't really generate that much garbage as a family. I normally take the trash out every other day, more frequently if need be. I put our food scraps down the garbage disposal in the sink and some of the rest of it we compost. But I'd grilled pork chops on Friday night; I think they may've spawned in the pork chop wrapper. I've heard that fly larvae can hatch in 8 hours if the conditions are ripe. Libris Mortis has a dire maggot. I was thinking of using it last week. May have to revist that idea. Ya know, since the description is fresh in my mind and all.

I was born in B.C., in the Kootenays, and then lived in northern Alberta. We moved around after that quite a bit, but I did a nine year stint in western Wyoming somewhere in the mix there. New Orleans, Texas, California, Arizona, South Carolina, Germany, South Korea...Hawaii. Those are the places I've lived. My parents are American southerners. I'm an American citizen as well.

 

[Mista Collins]

Sounds like you've moved around quite a bit. Hawaii is one place I have yet to visit. And living 5 minutes from the U.S./Canadian border, I consider myself a Canadian implant. I practically lived there every night between the ages of 19-21.

If there is one thing that I cannot tolerate, it is maggots. I have a very strong constitution when it comes to stomaching disgusting sights & smells, but maggots for some reason are my kryptonite.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Kryptonite. Good description.

Ambrus, the oak has Improved Grab, but all the same, thanks for pointing out to me that dealing even one point of damage on an AoO at the initiation of a grapple will stop a grapple attempt in its tracks. Ditto re: the tree needing to move into Maelicent's square next round. It's something to keep in mind.

"He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general
rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if
his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it."

–Moby Dick, Herman Melville


It looks like this may be the end for our poor goblin.

 

[Voadam]

Things look very grim for the lone Goodwulf, sorry Ambrus. But also not so great in the cave. I thought cover would still work against incorporeals, but guess not. I don't think putting light on a nonmagical weapon will make it affect incorporeals by the RAW, but it seems thematically right. I've got one cantrip that could affect the demon then I'm out as far as being able to affect it. And there is still the dire maggot down the hall coming.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

And there is still the dire maggot down the hall coming.

Or is there?

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Maelicent is currently unconscious in the forest. I got something in mind for him but it'll have to sit until those in the cave finish up with what's going on there and I can put everyone back on the same timeline once again. Ambrus, if you get fantastically bored while waiting, feel free to pop in at the IC and post a dream sequence for Mal.

“To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart,
I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee”
–Moby Dick, Herman Melville

Is that likely to be before you leave for the mainland? I suppose I could post how his Wolf God comes and judges whether he had a worthy death or not, But I guess that'd depend on whether he'd died or not. You expect Mael to survive?

 

[CanadienneBacon]

I expect Mal to survive, yes. He may be in for a tough time getting back to the cave, but I expect him to survive.

And, yeah, I'm hoping to have it fixed in everyone's minds where things stand before Friday rolls around and I leave for the mainland.
