Amanda flails at some monsters and they fall over for some reason. Then she gives Vincent an Elder Sign for being such a good audience.

<El-Cideon> So I should probably take my turn.
<El-Cideon> who's around?
<RandomConsonant> .
<MishaArsellecLune> ~
<El-Cideon> Okay!
<El-Cideon> These are pretty wimpy monsters, but I have no weapons and wish to be in decent shape for next turn in case that gug jacks me. Figure I'll use dread curse to ensure splattering and thus ensure no stamina damage happens.
<El-Cideon> Maxing will and lore. Casting roll: 4-2 = 2. Math!
<El-Cideon> roll 2d6 teach me, Azathoth-sensei?
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d6 teach me, Azathoth-sensei? and gets 7."12 [2d6=4, 3]
<El-Cideon> Expert Occultist gogogo. Reroll!
<El-Cideon> roll 2d6 okay Azathoth fine be a jerl
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d6 okay Azathoth fine be a jerl and gets 7."12 [2d6=5, 2]
<El-Cideon> Jerk, even.
<El-Cideon> Anyway, -2 sanity, +9 fight for all combats. Yay.
<MishaArsellecLune> jerl
<RandomConsonant> Think it's just one?
<El-Cideon> It just says combat checks.
<El-Cideon> Which I assumed meant all in a round.
<El-Cideon> Notably less worth using if it's just one!
<RandomConsonant> Nope, it's for just one combat
* AndrewXFiles (~terrybras@adsl-76-254-20-227.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
<El-Cideon> So that was probably wasted sanity.
<El-Cideon> But oh well.
<El-Cideon> Let's smoosh a zombie since he actually has a combat modifier.
<El-Cideon> ...Actually, knowing that would've made me put the sliders elsewhere, I figured I should maximize will rolls since the monsters would just get overkilled.
<El-Cideon> Watch my distant cousin there send me to the hospital now.
<El-Cideon> Oh well!
<El-Cideon> roll 3d6 not scared of zombies?
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 3d6 not scared of zombies? and gets 13."12 [3d6=3, 5, 5]
<El-Cideon> No.
<El-Cideon> roll 9d6 zombie stomp
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 9d6 zombie stomp and gets 31."12 [9d6=1, 5, 5, 5, 1, 3, 1, 6, 4]
<El-Cideon> Right.
<El-Cideon> Depp One Hybrid, same horror check.
<El-Cideon> roll 3d6
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 3d6 and gets 16."12 [3d6=6, 5, 5]
<RandomConsonant> This is going to be grim.
<El-Cideon> Now we see how many times he hits me, yes.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d6 epic book-smacking going on here or something?
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d6 epic book-smacking going on here or something? and gets 6."12 [1d6=6]
<El-Cideon> Looks like it.
<RandomConsonant> hahaha what
<El-Cideon> So that turned out okay.
<El-Cideon> and I hand Vinnie my elder sign.

<Mage> Alright, time to see how horribly I die
<Mage> Flying Monstrosity or Many-Armed Horror, first?
<+RandomConsonant> If you're sneaking, do the hard one first, if you're fighting, do the easy one first
<Mage> It's harder to sneak, and either way, I die if I lose once to the hard one. >_>;
<Mage> So I'm thinking pump fight and just beat these sonsabitches to death.
<Mage> Funnily enough, I'm in no danger of Sanity death thanks to seeing Home before I came through the Gate, and also because the Stars are Lined Up.
<Mage> So I'm going to have 1 Will, and 4 Fight for this.
<Mage> Both Horror Checks I fail automatically. Whoo~
* Mage takes his 1+2 San damage, respectively
<Mage> 4 Fight, +3 from .38, -0 from Byakhee

<Mage> Close, but that's a kill. >_>;
<Mage> Taking San damage from Gug then (the +2 mentioned earlier)
<Mage> 4 Fight, +6 from Holy Water, -2 from HOLY CRAP SO MANY ARMS WHAT IS THIS
<Mage> 8d6 to notdiepleasedon'tdieohmygodpleasedon'tdie
* +Hatbot --> "Mage rolls 8d6 to notdiepleasedon'tdieohmygodpleasedon'tdie and gets 30."12 [8d6=4, 3, 6, 3, 6, 5, 1, 2]
<Mage> ...
<+RandomConsonant> Splorch
<Mage> SUCCESS!
<Mage> Now to see if I ignore Overwhelming because Flesh Ward is hax.
<@Ranmilia> You killed the Guggernaut!  (bitch)
<Mage> 3 Lore, -2 from haxx
<Mage> 1d6 to become the near-insane God of Battle and Boocs
* +Hatbot --> "Mage rolls 1d6 to become the near-insane God of Battle and Boocs and gets 6."12 [1d6=6]
