[Sorry for the late entry. Could God make a spreadsheet file so monstrously large he could not open it in OpenOffice? Well, I don't know about him, but I certainly did, and it managed a lovely cascade of failure for me resulting in having to do a lot of things with my computer.]
[Note to Self: Weird monsters inspire interesting responses.]
[Gauronne casts Probe at a cost of 1 MP]
Through a combination of naturally- and arcanely-acquired lore, Gauronne learn that these phantomized members of Solanum tuberosum are descendants of plants grown in a garden of one Mr. McGregor, who cursed the rabbits who would enter his garden and nibble at his vegetables, particularly that annoying one with the little blue jacket. The stress caused by the constant rabbit attacks drove the man insane, as he tried every last thing to stop the invasion of these long-eared vermin. Eventually, his anger snapped his resolve, and he called down a curse and raised his hoe in the air, unfortunately during a thunderstorm; he was hit by lightning and killed instantly. His curse, however, was granted: Mr. McGregor's twisted soul has passed into the bodies of the plants he wished to protect, and travels along their family line. They will attack any intruders it deems may be hungry enough to cause them damage. Unsurprisingly, these spectral spuds attempt to attack the party after Mephis prods at them, flailing their green trendils at the party menacingly.
[Kit fires a bolt]
[Sarah uses 1 Oil, and 1 Lighter]
Sarah creates a sort-of Molotov Cocktail, which she flings towards the potatoes, after everyone has retreated a safe distance. The bottle swirls through the air, only to land on the soft dirt dig up by the haunted potatoes.
Fortunately, although Kit's bolt misses the potatoes, it does manage to shatter the glass of the bottle, causing it to explode and flash-fry the potatoes. They emit a hideous death scream (don't ask me how, but I made a sound effect for it), and they flail about as the are cooked. They eventually hover and fall, the vines motion slowing and eventually stopping as the potatoes achieve their final rest.

Well.....dinner is ready guys!!! *say with a happy grin* well, talking about that, i feel a bit hungry *take food from my bag and eat a bit* Someone like abit?
ReplyDelete*when i finish to eat a b it, i go to explore the west path*Hey guys...are you going to leave a lonely woman to explore alone? Hurry up guys^^*looks happy about being usefull to the party*Come here monsters, im prepared to all!! *say like a joke and start to walk*
Kit gives a relieved sigh, and offers Sarah a high-five for their teamwork, however accidental it may have been.
ReplyDeleteWatching one of the part members eat a potato, Mephis couldn't help but just stare at her in awe. "You're goign to eat an ex-haunted potato? Seriously?" he says, seatching his smaller weapon.
ReplyDelete"As long as they don't corrupt her in some way, I don't see why not. Still a little unsafe" William says as he follows.
ReplyDeleteOOC: Hmmm... I don't see that Xandre is eating any of the haunted ex-potatoes -- "take food from my bag and eat a bit", right?
ReplyDeleteAfter the eldritch vegetables are dead, Gauronne tells Kit and Sarah, "Well done! I am glad, and grateful, that you made such quick work of these peculiar entities. I am also glad that your assault succeeded with so very little collateral damage. Thank you both."
Having done that, Gauronne will next do the scholarly thing -- take notes,use his SLG stone to record pictures, etc -- and decide not to take any tissue samples of the fried tater-geists.
After documenting the tater-geists, Gauronne will begin to investigate the immediate area. The sudden appearance of the evil veggies begs a few questions, like: Why did the evil veggies show up here, rather than anywhere else? And why now, rather than next week or something? He will use his Lore skill and Probe spell as needed to gather the information he seeks. Should the party decide to move along, Gauronne will cut his studying short and move with his comrades; similarly, he's not going to keep on studying if a new monster happpens to pop up and attack us.
OOC: Sarah is not eating any potatoe, she was only joking about it, because she think the situation is funny, the food what she was eating is from her bag, one of the rations
ReplyDelete*after continue, sarah pick one of the po tatoes and examine it, if they are a safe thing, i put 2 potatoes in a separate place of my bag, because maybe can be usefull later*
Kit pats Sarah on the shoulder, and walks a few feet ahead of the group, breaking formation to scan the general area ahead of them. He doesn't stay gone for too long, however.
