Gemnus: Callout to teammates
* Gemnus_Soulis calls to flybro
@Sorodin
Flybro steps out of the darkness behind you.
Gemnus_Soulis
"i need yOU tO gather Up thOSe flyS! keep them OUt Of harm'S way! "
@Sorodin
"Got it!"
* Gemnus_Soulis summons ghostbro
@Sorodin
Ghostbro spurts into existence directly next to you.
Gemnus_Soulis
"i need yOU tO watch my back. make SUre that i am nOt SUrpriSed. fOcUS On SmaLLer enemieS if yOU can. heLp me when they are dead."
@Sorodin
"...oh, kay.."
* Gemnus_Soulis shakes general to action
Gemnus_Soulis
"LiSten tO me! i need yOU tO have my back! i wiLL need yOUr heLp tO take thiS thing dOwn!"
@Sorodin
The General is still a bit confused, but nonetheless takes out his weapons.
His fists.
Because REAL MEN DON'T USE WEAPONS
Gemnus_Soulis
"gOt it?"
@Sorodin
or some shit like that
"Sounds good to me. Are you sure you don't want me to take care of that thing over there, though?"
Gemnus_Soulis
"what thing?"
@Sorodin
He gestures towards a giant one-eyed thing that just lumbered out of the darkness.
It's colossal.
Gemnus_Soulis
"Uh... yeah, yOU can take that One."
@Sorodin
He cracks his knuckles, then runs off towards it.
@Sorodin
You may take your turn, if you'd like.
Gemnus_Soulis
Gemnus: Rush it. Beserk + Powerstance (Two gigagreatswords), and I use Summon from my Summoner's sword
@Sorodin
Roll a d20 for me, please.
Gemnus_Soulis
7
and 1 for the d4
Gemnus: Slice
@Sorodin
There's a loud flash of orange light, and when it fades, a slightly tall solid black creature, though they have a tint of orange, appears next to you.
"So, where the hell am I?"
Gemnus_Soulis
"Uh... a warzOne?"
@Sorodin
(Roll for hit and damage.)
Gemnus_Soulis
(working on it)
@Sorodin
"This ain't like no warzone I've seen before, kid."
"But hell, if there's a battle, count me in."
Gemnus_Soulis
"Same here. bUt a Leader mUSt adapt tO any SitUatiOn."
hit: 24
@Sorodin
yeah thats a hit
Gemnus_Soulis
Damage (8+4+4 [drive through]): 16 damage
@Sorodin
Your sword hits it, and deals a nice clean blow.
No blood escapes the wound, though you suspect that the target does not, actually, contain it.
So that's probably not a bad thing.
Who knows.
Gemnus_Soulis
Gemnus: Jump Back Remaining Movement Speed
End turn.
@Sorodin
The Lich looks at you for a second, before making a whip motion with it's arm towards you, a glowing pink chain coming from it's hand as it does so, which fastens around you, and squeezes.
11 vs Fortitude
Gemnus_Soulis
lolno
18
@Sorodin
Haha rip.
The chain retracts, dealing no visible damage.
The Lich looks a bit dissapointed.
It backs up thirty feet, and then ends it's turn.
Flybro and Ghostbro finish taking the flies to safety.
Your turn again.
Gemnus_Soulis
Gemnus: Reconvene With Ghostbro and Flybro
@Sorodin
They are about five feet closer to the Lich than you.
Gemnus_Soulis
End turn
@Sorodin
(I have been told that he runs towards the lich, so yeah.)
Gemnus is 15 feet away from the lich, while flybro and ghostbro are 10
The summoned dude runs up to the Lich, and tries to stabby-stabby it.
And it connects, leaving a medium-sized wound.
Flybro runs up, and takes out a whip.
He strikes the Lich, and manages to pull off an arm.
The Lich looks heavily injured.
@Sorodin
The Lich raises it's arms, and four skeletons emerge from the ground.
Your turn.
Gemnus_Soulis
Gemnus: Wide Swing
@Sorodin
Roll for hit and damage.
Gemnus_Soulis
24 to hit
@Sorodin
pffft yeah that hits.
Damage?
Gemnus_Soulis
16 (drive through)
@Sorodin
One of them collapses into a pile of bones, while the remaining three look slightly injured.
Flybro attempts to whip the Lich again, but misses, dislodging a brick from the manor instead.
The Lich focuses back on you, and sends out the chain again.
25 vs Fortitude
Gemnus_Soulis
whelp
18
@Sorodin
Take 11 damage.
Your soul feels like it's being ripped out of your body.
Ghostbro possesses a rock, and flies at the Lich, but the Lich ducks and it embeds itself in the door behind it.
Gemnus_Soulis
41 hp left
@Sorodin
All three of the skeletons go for different targets, one for you, one for Flybro, and one for Ghostbro.
The one going for you misses.
@Sorodin
The other two connect, and leave scratch marks across Flybro, and dispel a fair bit of Ghostbro's essence
Flybro looks queasy for a second, breaking into a hacking cough.
The skeletons give you a mock salute before collapsing into piles of bones.
It's your turn once more.
Gemnus_Soulis
Gemnus: Wide Swing on These Jerks

Continue.
Sorodin
Okay, yes the skeles are ded.
So do your rolls for Slice.
Gemnus_Soulis
I will just take wide swing.
Sorodin
You take a wide swing at the lich, which connects.
The Lich isn't quite dead yet, but it almost is.
RIP
Oh, and also I forgot to mention when the dude you summoned exploded in a bunch of orange shards.
That happened.
Gemnus_Soulis
Gemnus: Give Estus to Flybro temporarily, and tell him to drink
Sorodin
Both Flybro and Ghostbro take a swing at the Lich, but the Lich deftly dodges both blows.
Gemnus_Soulis
"it wiLL heaL yOU."
Sorodin
Flybro drinks the Estus, and seems a bit healthier now.
Gemnus_Soulis
"drink."
End turn
Sorodin
The Lich's hands crackle with electricity, before sending it flying at you.
14 VS Reflex
Gemnus_Soulis

Sorodin
Take, uh.

Sorodin
BUT WAIT.

Gemnus_Soulis

Sorodin
It ends it's turn.
Your turn.

"FIGHT FoR WHAT WE BElIEVE IN!"
Gemnus: Whisper
"LaviiL..."
"i am SOrry."
Gemnus: End Turn
Sorodin
Ghostbro is out of range to attack.
Flybro, however.
Is not.
And on a d20, the worst thing you can possibly roll is a one.
Guess who's that lucky winner today?
Gemnus_Soulis
...
Sorodin
Flybro takes out his whip, and accidentally tangles up the Lich, and then continues to pull him over while he tries to untangle it.
The Lich seizes his opportunity.
Gemnus_Soulis
Gemnus: Scream Out in Warning
Sorodin
Minor Slot: Chain Lightning
Go ahead and take an action real quick. The Lich is too far away for you to reach.
Flybro and Ghostbro are 30 feet away.
Gemnus_Soulis
Gemnus: Scream of Despair, and Redirect Energy Towards Lich
Sorodin
How do you do so?
Gemnus_Soulis
Focus whatever power I am able to.
Sorodin
Concentration.
Gemnus_Soulis

Sorodin
Nothing happens. You can still take a major and a move.
Gemnus_Soulis
Gemnus: Shove Flybro Out of the way, and Throw Ghostbro's emblem to Saftey and Desummon
Sorodin
You run up to Flybro, and shove him out of the way.
You then throw Ghostbro's emblem to safety.
There's only one person left in the Chain Lightning range.
AND GUESS WHO GOT A CRITICAL.
Gemnus_Soulis
I accept my fate.
And I have many regrets.
But this is not one.
Sorodin
4, 7, 5 +6
22 damage.
On a critical, times two.
Take fourty-four damage.
Gemnus_Soulis
Gemnus: Collapse, But Not Entirely Dead Yet.
Sorodin
The world blurs out, and you can hear panicked yelling/sobbing faintly in the background
Gemnus_Soulis
I can't give up.
Sorodin
You smell blood, and your vision is hazed over with a red sheen.
Gemnus_Soulis
Not yet.
Sorodin
Roll your first death saving throw.
Gemnus_Soulis
13
Sorodin
You feel a bit better, but your brain is still scrambled.
You start to get up, but collapse once more.
Roll your second death saving throw.
Gemnus_Soulis
14
Sorodin
You feel even better, and start to get up fully this time.
That is, until a red chain attaches itself to your neck, sending you sprawling to the ground.
There's an anguished yell, and the chain shatters.
Roll your death saving throw.
Gemnus_Soulis
crit
critcrit
Sorodin
You push yourself up, vision swimming.
You still feel bad, but you're okay.
Stabilize at 1 HP.
Gemnus_Soulis
What now?
What is happening
Sorodin
Well, Flybro is on the ground next to the emblem, knocked out.
The Lich is standing about five feet away from you.
Roll Init
Gemnus_Soulis

This will go over well.
Sorodin
Ties go to the player.
You go first.
Gemnus_Soulis
Hit:
25.
I use slice
Sorodin
Crit or no?
Gemnus_Soulis
Nope.
18 damage
Sorodin
Your sword goes straight through the Lich, slicing it in half.
For some reason, this seems familiar.
Anyways, it bursts into several pieces of grist.
Take 250 EXP.
Take 10 T4 grist
Take 15 T3 grist
Take 51 T2 grist
Take 169 T1 grist
Take 538 build grist.

Gemnus: Rush to Flybro's Aid

He's knocked unconscious. You can try to fix him up by rolling Medicine.
Gemnus_Soulis

Sorodin
You try to do something, but it doesn't work.
You can try again, if you'd like.
Gemnus_Soulis

Sorodin
After a few long moments, Flybro gasps for air desperately.
He's still knocked out, but he's alive.
Gemnus_Soulis
Gemnus: Retrieve Ghostbro
Then return for Flybro
Sorodin
A few seconds later, the General walks over, fists bloody. He's tossing around a giant eye.
"So, how'd it go?"
Gemnus_Soulis
"aLmOSt..."
"aLmOSt died."
Sorodin
"Is that really unusual for you?"
Gemnus_Soulis
"i think i cOULd feeL mySeLf dying."

He laughs a bit, before responding.
"Sure."
Gemnus_Soulis
"did that thing yOU kiLLed drOp anything?"
"it iS USefUL StUff."
"yOU've earned it."
Sorodin
"Well, this for one. Also a bunch of grist stuff I've been collecting for who knows what purpose."

"aLchemy Or SOmething."
Sorodin
"Ah, that makes sense.
