Re: Pokethulhu - Someone's Chewing on My Parents
The Dyzant thrashes as best it can, but it clearly isn't going anywhere. Cthonyx and Mobeot have it completely locked down and out of the fight.
The other Dyzant, having just unencased it's head from ice, recieves another chilling blow, knocking it back a bit. Undaunted it springs back to it's feet.
SpoilerBoth of you succeeded at the trap, it's out of the fight. Brain Freeze succeeds with a 3, leaving it with 1 hp. But, it succeeds with a dodge of 4, bringing it's total to 5 hp.
It glares at the Kadath, and then seems to realize that it's now a 3-on-1 battle...Taking Over The World, One Tangent At A Time

West
"Excellent work, Cthonyx," young West says gleefully, "Now tentacle slap!"
It was at this point that West congratulated himself for ensure that he had just the right cthulhu to defeat his other cthulhu...good thing that Cthonyx were known to be more reliable than the bizarre Dzyant.

Yawning with boredom, West breaks his interest with the battle to pull out a book on higher dimensional calculus and sits down, reading while his Cthonyx dispenses with the final Dzyant.Avatar: Dave the Drone Rigger, by Brickwall

Re: Pokethulhu - Someone's Chewing on My Parents
Cthonyx rears back, bringing it's terrible tentacles to bear. Lunging forward, it knocks the Dyzant silly. The last strike causes it to tumble back up the stairs a bit.
SpoilerRoll of 4 brings the Dyzant down to 1 hp again.
Mobeot swoops and swirls, and a blue myst begins to cloud the Dyzant's eyes. Unfortunately, the embarassing memory brought about happens to be the last few seconds of the fight. Appearing ashamed, or at least as ashamed as an insect can appear, it shakes itself off.
SpoilerRoll of 1 ties with the current hp, and fails to frighten
Kadath crouches, ready to bravely leap forward and finish off the beast, but then notices West pull something out of his bag. Curious, Kadath forgets what it's doing and waddles over to see.
With a sneer, or at least... well you get the idea. The Dyzant manages to pull off a lot of expressiveness with mandables and an exoskeleton. As I was saying, the Dyzant sneers and, with the last of it's strength, levels it's stingers directly at Cthonyx's gaping maw.
SpoilerRoll of 8 brings Cthonyx down to 2 hp
Cthonyx recoils and roars, a terrible noise which causes your eardrums to burn white hot for a moment, apparently yet another noise man was not meant to hear. It shakes it's head vigorously.Last edited by Elrosth; 2008-10-30 at 02:13 PM.

Re: Pokethulhu - Someone's Chewing on My Parents
Startled, Kadath quickly waddles around to face his trainer. Another sweatdrop appears as it see's Cthonyx's "face" wounds. Furrowing it's little brow, it rears back and unleashes a brain freeze unlike anything Ben or Jerry could ever hope to create.
The Dyzant's multi-faceted eyes bulge, and the tiniest little cracking noise can be heard as the horrible bug freezes and then falls face-first down the stairs.SpoilerRoll of 7 knocks that thing to -6. It's dodge could only hope to bring it to 6 (which it did actually, I rolled for it), which leaves it still at 0 hp.
SpoilerBam! Officially done with our first combat. Damn was that thing tenacious.Last edited by Elrosth; 2008-10-30 at 03:31 PM.

Re: Pokethulhu - Someone's Chewing on My Parents
Ted runs up to his Kadath, seeing the enemy fall down the stairs.
"Yeah! Way to go!"
He tries to pick up the penguin, but it flails madly in his arms, hits him in the head with it's beak, and runs excitedly around the group for some time.

Re: Pokethulhu - Someone's Chewing on My Parents
West
Distracted by the noise of his screaming Cthonyx, West peers up from his book and sees the damage. Walking over, he strokes the beast, trying to sooth its wounds, "Excellent work, Cthonyx. I sincerely apologize for your wounds; are you quite alright? Regardless, I suggest you return to your dodecahedron, there perhaps to recover from this ordeal." At this last, West summons the creature back into its metaphysical cage.

Re: Pokethulhu - Someone's Chewing on My Parents
Steve motions his Moboet back over, and as it floats around his head, he takes out his Dodecahedron, and lets it back in. He takes a few more steps down before turn back to the others and saying "Well, shall we continue?"

Re: Pokethulhu - Someone's Chewing on My Parents
Up from the stairs near the rest comes a dashing young man with a furrowed brow. His shirt is a mess, but in that rugged hero way. He looks and assesses the situation.
'Ah, good. What I need... what we need. Men, we must do something. These... monsters... they are killing innocent people. We must work together to defeat this evil. Are you with me, men?
He seems strangely... unaffected by the horrors around everyone. Calm, confident and determined. How mad must a man be to sane in such a crazy time? Still, he's calling a group of preteens and there about 'men'...

Re: Pokethulhu - Someone's Chewing on My Parents
SpoilerAny frighten effect is lost at the end of the battle, so thulhu dispatched that way can safely come out without any ill effects once the fight is through. Healing damage, however, is different. To quote the book: Anyone who was injured in the last fight may roll a single dodecahedron and heal that many hit points from their injuries. After that, points regenerate at a point per hour of rest, or a point per day of activity. Other things (magic spells, a good hot meal, being tended by a nurse) can alter this, as the Owner (that's me! ) sees fit.
As for now, as far as I remember, Cthonyx was at 2/10, Dyzant was at 3/6, Nylarthopy was merely feared and is now fine. If there was anyone I missed, lemme know, but for now Cthonyx restores 7 hp bringing it up to 9, and Dyzant restores 12 hp, returning it to full health. If you guys rest for an hour, he'll be back to full health. Dunno if it's worth it for one thulhu missing one hp, but up to you guys.
Down it is. You leave behind the unsettling glow of the dispatched Dyzants, and continue once again towards the icy blackness, reminded once again that maybe a light source would be cool.
EDIT: and then the above post happens.
SpoilerI'd be fine with one of you having a flash light in your backpack, but if you have some other light source you'd like to use thats cool too. Would you guys wanna just quick list what you have in your backpacks? Include mundane stuff like comic books, textbooks, candy bars, etc. Any pocket stuff or otherwise not-backpack stuff in your posession as well. I'm assuming each of you have a shirt and pants, shoes, a backpack, and your dodecahedrons. Also what you *don't* have is more empty dodecahedrons, any sort of thulu-dex, or an uzi. Mundane kid stuff, or possibly minor magic or grown up items (switchblade, I choose you!) would be fine, pending my approval.Last edited by Elrosth; 2008-10-30 at 05:14 PM.

Re: Pokethulhu - Someone's Chewing on My Parents
SpoilerNo, that is a good amount of stuff. I'm not too much concerned with worth. And as far as the year, anything nowadays is pretty much acceptable, but try to think more generic I guess. Technology is just as advanced, but it is relied on less, supplemented by eldrich rites and thulhu. Also similar to Pokemon, where they have computers but most people just don't use them, or use them really specifically. Like the video phone consoles everywhere.

You know, you should call it a cephalaPod. Same function.
add these to the list:
Pens, paper, pencils
Dice (standard and gaming), playing cards
DS with Picross
Pictures of cats with funny words on them; for amusement.
Pictures of self
Also:
The walkies: I would like, if possible, to have enough so that everyone could have them. If you fear that will break the system, I'll settle happy with two. They flip open and in fact are official merch from the show 'Quasar Quests': as is his toy space ship. I'm not going too over the top, am I?

Re: Pokethulhu - Someone's Chewing on My Parents
You all begin your trek down the stairs, following the strange newcomer. You are curious as to what he's seen, coming up from that icy black. In the distance, a faint pinpoint of sickly green light glows from far down the staircase. Rather than continue wondering about the newcomer's story, you begin a somewhat disgruntled rant in your head, wondering who the hell builds a staircase this long, and why. After about ten minutes more walking (props to the new guy for running up this, you think), you find yourself approaching the hewn stone archway leading into a cavern. Now bathed in the sickly green glow, you peer into the dim cavern. Squinting for a moment, the dark mass on the ground before you comes into focus, and you realize it's a massive pile of bodies. Some look like they could be merely sleeping, and others look less fortunate. One body that looks like it was tossed away from the pile lies right next to the archway you're at presently. The skin and muscles of the left leg have been completely stripped away, leaving nothing but bone. At the edge of this stripping, where the skin still exists on the upper thigh, the flesh has become bloated, spongy and pearly white. The rest of the body appears untouched, save for some bruises and a nasty gash on the head where you presume they landed.

Re: Pokethulhu - Someone's Chewing on My Parents
Approaching the body closest to the door, you affirm what you saw last. Skin and muscle stripped clean from the bone, and on the edge where the skin remains, it is engorged like an sickly ivory sponge full of unsavory fluids. Short of the bruises and head wound, the rest of the body seems untouched. Rolling it over slightly, you finally see the face, contorted in it's last moments of terror. You can't be sure, but it might indicate that whatever was done to the victim's leg happened while it was still alive.

Re: Pokethulhu - Someone's Chewing on My Parents
And thankfully, you discover something fitting just that criteria. Traveling a few yards down one of the walls, you find a door left slightly ajar. It's a rather crude door, standing out from the ancient hewn stone as a rather modern addition. In fact, you think you recognize it as one of the doors that got added to the east wing in the school last fall, though this one seems shoddily held into place with pylons, glue and tape.
