WOULD YOU LIKE THE GOOD NEWS OR THE BAD NEWS? Suzuka says, "Bad news." ACTUALLY, I HAVE TO GIVE YOU THE SORT OF GOOD NEWS FIRST. YOUR BODY SEEMS TO BE GETTING MARRIED. THE BAD NEWS IS THAT YOU SEEM TO BE MARRYING YOG-SOTHOTH. Suzuka says, "..."An actual moment of Awesome from the game (Master-level Power Words = your friend.  Especially when Psyche-master Anthy backs you up with a Spikard and Demi-Jewel of Judgement...)Uotani now points at Child. "I am the Daughter of the Bear, the Disciple of the Mistress of the 631 Secret Runes, Mistress of the High Rune of Ujikal. Lord of Chaos, I BANISH YOU IN THE NAME OF UJIKAL, WHO ABHORES ALL THE DELVINGS OF CHAOS!" She draws a rune in the air, a glowing sign of perfect symmetry and structure, and power flows into it from Anthy and her Eye and her Wheel. And then it soars across the open space towards Child. Child stares in shock. "Ujikal is dead! I saw his towers burn, I saw his children scattered, his power bound into a spoon of all things and......AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" The sign strikes him, and he hangs on it for a few seconds, and then explodes into a shower of crystalline fragments which burn and blow away in the wind, surging into the sky and floating towards a distant horizon. Uotani says, "<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> YEAH!!!!!!!!!!" As for D&D Awesome:Players hear werewolves in the distance.  I intended this as a flavor thing; they were in an area with a serious werewolf problem, but I assumed the second level PCs with only one magic weapon and no silver ones would carefully stick to the road.They thought I meant them to HUNT THE WEREWOLVES.  How do they kill them?Grapple them and then force them to eat the party's hundreds of silver pieces, then grind them against the ground in order to ensure the silver rips them up from the inside.The whole time, all I could do was just stare mindlessly. Another game, same group, but I was a player and the guy who figured out how to kill the werewolves was the DM:We'd become Spelljammers, but I missed the start of a session and when I got there, we'd all been charmed by beholders and become their slaves.Somehow, the 5 Wisdom Barbarian Grettir threw off the charm first and went on a one-man unarmed beholder killing spree.  He had his Belt of Storm Giant Strength which they'd left on him so he could haul cargo around for them.  He got to the central shaft and waited for a beholder to come up the shaft.When one did, he jumped down onto its head, ripped off two of its eyestalks...and beat it to death with them.  We were all yelling "YEAH!!!!" while the DM stared in surprise.Grettir's other moment of awesome--a group of adventurers were trying to threaten us, so Grettir punched their leader's warhorse in the head.  Thanks to a homebrew crit table, when he rolled a natural 20, he got a quadruple damage crit and killed it with one blow.</blockquote>
