In which Marcus can now shoot lightning FROM HIS FISTS

<yzabtech> ==START==
<yzabtech> As you walk along the river, you see another one of the black beasts, this one more snake-like.
<Marcus_River> Well, time to get some more grist.
* Marcus_River draws his TASchain
<Marcus_River> And then approaches the snake?
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+5
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=5 ] | {10}
<yzabtech> Roll initiative
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20-1

<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20 intimidate
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=2 ] | {2}
<Marcus_River> Okay, yeah, not that.
<Marcus_River> End turn.
<yzabtech> The basilisk wonders what the hell you're doing.
<yzabtech> It realizes the error of its ways, and tries to apologize by giving you a hug.
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+7
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=14 ] | {21}
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6 to be antisocial.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=18 ] | {24}
<yzabtech> Wow. Rude.
<Marcus_River> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<yzabtech> The basilisk is hurt emotionally.
<yzabtech> It ends its turn.
<yzabtech> You monster.
<Marcus_River> As well it should be.
<Marcus_River> Major action to attack.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6 to hit
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=20 ] | {26}
<Marcus_River> Oo bb.

<Marcus_River> Followed by Fast Hands to combo into a grapple.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6 to grapple.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=20 ] | {26}
<Marcus_River> OO BB!
<Marcus_River> Yeah, end turn.

<Marcus_River> yzabtech
<yzabtech> You grapple its corpse into:
<yzabtech> Build Grist: 162
<yzabtech> T1 Grist: 56
<yzabtech> T2 Grist: 15
<yzabtech> T3 Grist: 12
<yzabtech> and 75 EXP.
<Marcus_River> Oh, cool, another one-shot.
<Marcus_River> Alright, well, moving on.
<yzabtech> How about another basilisk?
<Marcus_River> Sure.
<yzabtech> Roll initiative.
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+5
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=4 ] | {9}
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20-1
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=18 ] | {17}
<yzabtech> Nice.
<Marcus_River> Well, it worked last time, so Marcus hooks followed by grapple.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6 to hit.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=9 ] | {15}
<yzabtech> That works, barely.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 2d6+5 damage
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2d6+5 --> [ 2d6=7 ] | {12}
<Marcus_River> Followed by:
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6 to grapple.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=12 ] | {18}
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+7 to evade
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=5 ] | {12}
<yzabtech> The basilisk is now grappled.
<Marcus_River> End turn.
<yzabtech> The basilisk tries to escape.
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+7
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=15 ] | {22}
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6 to say no.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=5 ] | {11}
<Marcus_River> Okay fine, maybe.
<yzabtech> The basilisk is out of your grasp.
<yzabtech> End turn.
<Marcus_River> THEN DO IT AGAIN!
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6 hit.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=3 ] | {9}
<yzabtech> No.
<Marcus_River> Fast hands only works if I land the hit, so just normal combo attack.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6 to hit AGAIN!
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=18 ] | {24}
<Marcus_River> !Roll 2d6 damage.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2d6 --> [ 2d6=8 ] | {8}

<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+7
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=7 ] | {14}
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6 to say no again.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=1 ] | {7}
<Marcus_River> "Yes."
<yzabtech> Ok.
<yzabtech> End turn.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6 to try and say no instead of yes.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=15 ] | {21}
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+7 to make you change your mind.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=11 ] | {18}
<Marcus_River> "No."
<Marcus_River> Alright, well, minor action to narrow eyes intimidatingly again, I guess.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=14 ] | {14}
<Marcus_River> Versus WILL.
<yzabtech> You win.
<yzabtech> I really don't know what that does but whatever it does you win.
<Marcus_River> With a 14, that's -1 to hit on his next turn.
<yzabtech> Makes sense.
<Marcus_River> End turn.
<yzabtech> Grapple.
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+6
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=4 ] | {10}
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6 No.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=15 ] | {21}
<yzabtech> Nice job.
<yzabtech> It takes practice.
<yzabtech> End turn.
<Marcus_River> Yay me.
<Marcus_River> Countergrapple!
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=12 ] | {18}
<Marcus_River> Wait, no.
<Marcus_River> That would be to hit first.
<Marcus_River> Then combo for grapple.
<Marcus_River> That hits, right?
<yzabtech> Yes.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 2d6+5 damage.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2d6+5 --> [ 2d6=5 ] | {10}
<Marcus_River> NOW countergrapple!
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+6
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=20 ] | {26}
<Marcus_River> Huh.
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+7
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=1 ] | {8}
<Marcus_River> HUH.
<yzabtech> That's quite possibly the best possible outcome.
<Marcus_River> Yeah, yeah it is.
<Marcus_River> Alright yeah, end turn.
<yzabtech> I feel like I should do something.
<Marcus_River> If you want.
<yzabtech> That has a 1/400 chance of happening. Technically, so does literally every outcome of those two possible rolls, but this one.
<yzabtech> This one's special.
<Marcus_River> It is.
<yzabtech> ...nah.
<Marcus_River> If the dude's only got 6hp left, that'll kill him on my next hit no matter what.
<Marcus_River> Cool to say I literally squeeze the life out of him?
<yzabtech> Alright fine.
<Marcus_River> Noice.
<yzabtech> You literally squeeze the life out of the basilisk. The basilisk's ghost flips you off before going somewhere else.
<yzabtech> Build Grist: 153
<yzabtech> T1 Grist: 49
<yzabtech> T2 Grist: 19
<yzabtech> T3 Grist: 8
<yzabtech> 75 XP
<yzabtech> No wait, how about 65 XP.
<yzabtech> Not 75.
<yzabtech> C'mon that was unfair
<yzabtech> ((trust me))
<Marcus_River> Alright, fine.
<yzabtech> Now look at your XP.
<Marcus_River> Marcus only goes up to 420 exp.
<Marcus_River> I know, i know.
<yzabtech> Hehehehehehehehehehe.
<Marcus_River> (Can I add that removed 10exp to the next enemy though?)
<yzabtech> ((yeah sure))
<Marcus_River> (Cool, thanks)
<yzabtech> ((wanna kill a lich?))
<Marcus_River> Marcus ascends to Rung 7: Hug of Death.
<Marcus_River> (Sure, I'll try)
<yzabtech> ((sweet, this is gonna be fun))
<yzabtech> ((for me at least))
<yzabtech> The basilisk's ghost comes back.
<yzabtech> It's still pissed at you.
<yzabtech> It can't fight you anymore because it's a spoopy ghost now, but it has a friend now that it met in the afterlife, and he's really like for you to meet him.
<yzabtech> he'd*
<yzabtech> Oh, here he is now.
* Marcus_River does not think he likes where this is goin.
<Marcus_River> (going*)
<yzabtech> Yeah you're gonna have to fight him.
<yzabtech> Roll initiative.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20-1

<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=5 ] | {7}
<yzabtech> You go first.
<Marcus_River> Presumably a lich shows up?
<yzabtech> Yeah, that's the basilisk's new friend.
<Marcus_River> And it's not just the ghost basilisk talking about his imaginary friend?
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+7 to attack
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=11 ] | {18}
<yzabtech> The lich is very offended you called him imaginary but it isn't his turn yet.
<yzabtech> That hits.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 2d6+5 damage.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2d6+5 --> [ 2d6=3 ] | {8}
<Marcus_River> Followed by minor action for Fast Hands.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+7 to grapple.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=5 ] | {12}
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=16 ] | {18}
<yzabtech> You don't grapple.
<Marcus_River> Well, had to try.
<Marcus_River> End turn.
<Marcus_River> yzabtech
<yzabtech> The lich decides to bring some more of its friends along.
<yzabtech> Raise Undead, major slor
<yzabtech> slot*
<yzabtech> !roll 1d2+1
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d2+1 --> [ 1d2=2 ] | {3}

<yzabtech> nope doesn't say
<Marcus_River> I have no idea, I don't have the 2e MM
<yzabtech> Well, three skeletons.
<yzabtech> You can go, then the skeletons do.
<Marcus_River> Well, this is going to get complicated.
* Marcus_River ignores the mini skeletons, and goes for the lich.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+7 to hit.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=6 ] | {13}
<yzabtech> That doesn't hit.
<Marcus_River> Then combo to try again.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+7 to hit.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=19 ] | {26}
<yzabtech> That does.
<Marcus_River> !Roll 2d6 damage.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2d6 --> [ 2d6=11 ] | {11}

<Marcus_River> End turn.
<yzabtech> The skeletons all try to take revenge.

<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 3#1d20+4 -->  | [ 1d20=14 ]{18}, [ 1d20=20 ]{24}, [ 1d20=12 ]{16}
<Marcus_River> Nuts, all of that hits.
<yzabtech> Alright, one breaks fortitude.
<yzabtech> Or two?
<Marcus_River> Oh, it's against FORT.
<yzabtech> no the way it works is
<Marcus_River> Ties go to the attacker.
<yzabtech> that if it breaks fort it gets bonus damage
<Marcus_River> Matching is considered breaking.
<yzabtech> if it doesnt but it still hits it just gets regular damage
<Marcus_River> Like how if you tie AC, you still hit.
<yzabtech> !roll 3#1d6+4 damage
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 3#1d6+4 -->  | [ 1d6=5 ]{9}, [ 1d6=5 ]{9}, [ 1d6=5 ]{9}

<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2#2d6 -->  | [ 2d6=5 ]{5}, [ 2d6=7 ]{7}
<yzabtech> Take all that damage.
<yzabtech> Good thing the skeletons die after that.
<yzabtech> That's 27+12 damage.
<yzabtech> 39.
<yzabtech> Oof, ouch, owie.
<Marcus_River> Okay good, because that's almost 2/3rds of my health.
<yzabtech> The lich tries a basic claw attack since it's tired after that.
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+3
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=3 ] | {6}
<yzabtech> Nope.
<yzabtech> Your turn.
<Marcus_River> Alright, well, pain is a thing that happens, so Marcus is going to try and take care of this rather quickly.
<Marcus_River> Speedrunnig, amiright?
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+7 to hit.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=2 ] | {9}
<Marcus_River> Slowrunning, amiright?
<Marcus_River> !Roll 1d20+7 for combo hit.

<yzabtech> Gain 260 XP, making up for that 10 XP from earlier
<yzabtech> Also all this.
<yzabtech> Build Grist: 503
<yzabtech> T1 Grist: 161
<yzabtech> T2 Grist: 51
<yzabtech> T3 Grist: 16
<yzabtech> T4 Grist: 10
<yzabtech> If that's it, you made it home.
* Marcus_River exhales a sigh of relief.
<Marcus_River> "I did it."
* Marcus_River ascends to Rung 8: Home.
<yzabtech> Congratulations.
* Marcus_River finds his old TV, and inputs the VCR tape.
<Marcus_River> As the TV reads the tape, Marcus sits back in his chair.
<Marcus_River> "What have you been doing this whole time, Dad?"
