[OOC] Table of Monsters

[Lugia]

Flip a coin or reroll, your choice.

[Riddles]

Zombie mage's hit roll: 2 + 4/2 = 4
Trey's dodge roll: 11 + 9/2 = 15.5

So, he dodged.

Trey's hit roll: 18 + 12/2 = 24
Zombie mage's dodge roll: 10
Trey's damage roll: (2 + 18 - 4)/2 = 8
Zombie mage's remaining HP: -12/0
Trey's remaining MP: 6/8

[Lugia]

You forgot to divide that one. They're partially resistant to fire, in that they 'take' half damage from it. So, you dealt 8 damage, leaving the mage with -12.

[Riddles]

Fixed it

[Lugia]

And now for IC...

Oh, and, Eklispe, would you mind editing your last IC post to include the Monk's attack on Dorisma?

[Eklispe]

Edit: bah ninjed

[Lugia]

You already rolled, earlier, you just never added it to your post. The thief never attacked you, so far, only the monk has.

[The Grey Dust]

who's post is it now?

Can I attempt to discern the underlying effects of the magic keeping the zombies together?

If would be rather metagame if Ry'leh started to heal the zombies suddenly.

[Eklispe]

You got a little hint from Robert when he said "I don't think normal attacks will work." but ya I concur with your thoughts. Dorisma going straight for the torch might have been a bit of a stretch as well but meh.

@The Grey Dust

If you try to use poison, you'll actually "heal" them a bit per round, however, if you use Cure, you'll "damage" them, and quite a bit, too. Do whichever you think R'lyeh would do in that situation. I mean, Poison is HARDLY a normal attack.

[The Grey Dust]

Well neither is healing your enemies <_>

Or should I eschew requiring the knowledge check to use healing magic against zombies for damage?

[Lugia]

Whichever you think is best. Honestly, for this being the first set of enemies with this condition, I'd kind of expect R'lyeh to use poison against them.

[The Grey Dust]

Well, he already noted his magic would have been useless as they are non-elemental magics, plus poison would do little to life forms which do not have metabolisms.

I'll use THIS:

Ability 1 : Study - Studies' enemy current state and weak points.

[Lugia]

Aha! Good one! So, from study you figure out that...
The enemy can't stand being healed!
The enemy can't stand fire!

the enemy loves being poisoned!
the enemy's status is 'Rot-Zombie' (Your character will also now know exactly what that status does)

The enemy doesn't have any physical weak points, as if something else is controlling that body, and giving it power.

[Lugia]

Alright, now it's...
oh, wait, it's my turn. OOPS!

[The Grey Dust]

Silly pokeperson.

[Lugia]

Hey, Grey, while you're here, would you mind rolling for a dodge? I'm going to have the zombie paladin attack your character in my post. He will be doing so with a 'hurt' spell, which heals these zombies, but actually hurts us. I rolled an 11 on his hit

11 + 1 (AGImod)

If it hits, it will hit you for... 1 + 5 (INTmod) = 6 damage... if you roll lower than a 12, that is.

[The Grey Dust]

Well unfortunately I rolled a 5. :I

Any bonuses I get or no reflex save? D:!

[Lugia]

You get half of your agility as a bonus, which brings you up to 10... now, so I'm not powergaming, mind coming up with a reaction to him getting hurt... I was planning on making him 'seem to flinch', but, you know, seems kinda weird having him actually do anything without the creator's approval.

Okay, this is funny... @The Grey Dust, your character has enough magic defense for that attack to deal... 1 damage. I'm not even joking here, lol.

[The Grey Dust]

hah.

why not sure lol.

"tis but a scratch!"

I'll assume the post is yours.

He'll probably go like this.

"Oh, dear me, it seems I have slightly injured. Well then, onwards to the science."
