[color=00aeef]“Eliza!”[/color] The half-elf’s delightful, jiggling orbs of joy dissolved, as the outstretched appendage of the Lore master became an icicle despite their captain’s loud admonition during the cheerleader’s psalm. After a scream, Dyn’yer’zhead and Calico followed suit, demanding answers and an apology. [i]But.[/i] All the drow could focus on was to provide relief to her vertically challenged amiga. Pondering a solution to the wizard’s frozen dilemma, she instinctively generated a mischievous sneer while slender hands buffed against each other briskly. Comic relief was almost always the answer when someone was suffering from a rough wind in their sails. Gently pulling Jill away from her target, the fool proclaimed. [color=ed1c24]“Eureka! Excuse me, boss, but I believe I’ve got an idea.”[/color] Waving her limbs in a synchronized, but opposing counter-current fashion, over her wrist, similar to the motion involved in beating upon bongo drums, Abbercroft’s right upper extremity soon riddled itself with [url= https://www.thecastcover.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/long-arm-hearts.jpg][color=ed1c24]Matryoshka hearts[/color][/url], circumscribed coeurs of vivid colors. The wild sorcerer ended with a hand waxing rapidly up and down, in the air, as if skywriting an invisible telegram. As the airbrushing ceased, the clown’s name, portrayed in rainbow stripes, engraved into a question-mark spiral over the makeshift orthopedic cast. A glaring stare from about four feet high flashed disapproval. [color=ed1c24]“Ooh. Ooh. Can I try again? Please?”[/color] Quickly, gaudy [url= https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/75/80/2c/75802c8f66347abf108fe1ae6ecd2483.jpg][color=ed1c24]irezumi[/color][/url] waded around the elbow, shoulder and wrist of the pediatric-sized magician, until the fervent tattoos aborted their swimming currents and settled into their wavy molds. [color=ed1c24]“Fishies better, right?”[/color] The marine sling soon disappeared only to reveal a bright, orange pigmentation pervading the iced skin's undertone. [color=ed1c24]“No?”[/color] Frustrated with the series of haphazard events, the short prodigy sidestepped out of the 15 foot cube, delineating the insane illusions, all the while, the wintry wolf gawked with jaded attention, stifled with glimpses of curiosity. However, her little friend’s boots did not remain close, but marched off, with an inadvertent heil boom arm, carving a swastika of sadness into the clown’s crowded soul. The mage’s stink eye, whilst she paraded away, only egged the one-woman circus act to retaliate and continue, endeavoring to amuse her tiny compadré, before any possible depression could curdle. [i]The show must go on.[/i] [color=ed1c24]“Okay, okay. Let me start over.”[/color] [i]Poof. A [url=https://cdn-img-1.wanelo.com/p/de9/a66/2ff/4e83c41139295d29aecf98e/x354-q80.jpg][color=ed1c24]one piece[/color][/url]?[/i] [color=ed1c24]“Um. How unfitting. That didn't count.”[/color] More finger waving produced the [url=http://img12.deviantart.net/1583/i/2015/117/3/d/cigarette_and_a_furcoat_by_parororo-d47mswm.jpg][color=ed1c24]harlequin[/color][/url] with a cigarette in a fluffy fur coat. She took a drag and belched nothing, but cold breath. Aiming for under the stiff auburn body part, the scarred comic then flicked her cancer stick, which subsequently crackled into a miniature inferno under the hinged stalactite, thawing rapidly some of the pronated ice. Yelping, the maimed tinkerer steamed a beeline towards Koan. Reflexively, the wombless woman countered, furnishing a halt with both gloves. [color=ed1c24]“Stop! In the name of fun!”[/color] Shocking to the whacky warlock, she did. Magically. Taking full advantage of her paralysis, the crazed bard concentrated and blew a kiss, rearranging the stationary gnomish silhouette into that of a [url=http://clipart-library.com/data_images/435413.jpg][color=ed1c24]snowman[/color][/url], with her carrot arm for a nose, a matching scarf, a stovepipe hat, and two wooden branches projecting from the flanks of its buttoned midline, hoisting marshmallows. [color=ed1c24]“Now, we’re in the mood. We'll get you back to clapping in no time but this may hurt a little.”[/color] Before another bonfire could manifest, three flashes of spotlight and their thunderous applause finally concluded the mayhem, as lightning bolts rained upon Garnesh, Shiki and the Theullai. [color=ed1c24]"Oops."[/color] [hider=Mechanics] FYI, the above crimson labels are clickable urls. The following post was collaboratively approved by Eliza and the DM. 1. Koan rolls a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/3018][color=ed1c24]4[/color][/url] for her Arcana. She honestly believes that a magical fire will absolutely thaw Eliza’s arm. 2. Koan casts an at-will [i]Silent Image[/i] over Eliza’s arm to display it as a cast with all sorts of hearts, then later with a Koan’s signature spiraled all over the top of it. Then, she changes her mind again and makes it into a tattoo sleeve, full of aquatic life. This triggers two WM surge rolls of [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/3026][color=ed1c24]8[/color][/url] and [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/3027][color=ed1c24]14[/color][/url] against a DC of 2 and a DC of 3 respectively. The DC rises by +1 above spell level, if the WM surge is not triggered. 3. Eliza quickly notices Koan’s illusions overlapping her frigid limb and attempts to move way from their vicinity. This forces Koan to utilize [i]Shape Water[/i] to turn the frozenr arm carrot-orange, lasting up to one hour. 4. Koan moves in closer and casts an at-will [i]Disguise Self[/i] to wear accidentally a bikini but then appropriately chooses more appropriately a fur coat while smoking a cigarette, both triggering 2 more WM surge roll of [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/3029][color=ed1c24]5[/color][/url] and [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/3031][color=ed1c24]15[/color][/url]with a DC of 4 and 5 respectively. 5. Koan states that she's only trying to help and casts [i]Create Bonfire[/i] via the cig under Eliza’s arm, which seems to be melting the ice, albeit slowly. Eliza yipes and jumps back from the [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/3028][color=ed1c24]16[/color][/url] (2d6) damage, after dropping the last 2 dice and doubling for vulnerability. 6. Before Eliza begins to give chase to Koan, Koan reactively casts [i]Hold Person[/i] on Eliza. This triggers another WM surge roll of [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/3032][color=ed1c24]12[/color][/url] against a DC of 7 (second level spell). Eliza rolls an opposing Wisdom Save at advantage against a DC of 16, with a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/3023][color=ed1c24]10[/color][/url] and a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/3024][color=ed1c24]15[/color][/url]. She is now paralyzed. 7. To make the moment even more special, the carrot-orange arm is juxtaposed as a carrot stick nose within another at-will [i]Minor Illusion[/i], and turns the stationary Eliza into a snowman, with a Lincoln top hat and stick hands holding marshmallows, potentially future smores. 8. Due to the ridiculousness of this event, the DM activates the saved WM surge roll (1d100) from the previous activated [i]Tides of Chaos[/i]. The DM rolls a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/3033][color=ed1c24]65[/color][/url]. 9. A 3d9 is rolled by the DM to determine who is hit by the 4d10 lightning. Garnesh, Shiki, and the Theullai are our lucky winners, taking [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/3038][color=ed1c24]22[/color][/url] damage.
