« Last post by Alice on Yesterday at 05:11:18 pm »Well, he certainly isn't controlling the birds - or he really hates his subordinates. How are my chances to catch the bird attacking me and / or to bat it towards the other bugbear? It wants blood, I have no blood. But I guess I am still nutritious in this shape. Anyway, I just wanna get the bird to the bugbear. Crusher only lets me move a creature to an unoccupied space.

The Bulette was there when M3gan returned to Alice after securing the girls in an undisclosed location. Nezzner may be controlling it.

« Last post by Yulya on Yesterday at 02:50:25 pm »Yulya spots Alice Run west away from the Bulette with two bugbears in hot pursuit. She casts Toll the Dead, using her goblin staff obviously, on the zombie she hit last time and then retreats 30 ft west with Cat.Yulya is miraculously spared but still faces the undead creature.
The bell tolls and the Zombie is adversely effected, significantly wounding the already weakened creature.
Trying to stay out of reach of the zombie, puts them 30 ft West. Though the zombie catches up, it's used it's turn to catch up to Yulya, but still charged with electric energy it readies a touch to discharge it's remaining energy (use action).
The zombie doesn't manage to make contact but is still charged.
Cat we need to finish this!
Yulya casts Sacred Flame amplified by the goblin staff and her celestial Revelation again hoping to take down the zombie.
Yulya can sense Nezzer casting something but isn't sure what.We need to deal with this spellcaster now or the stream of enemies will never end!
M3gan Panther scratches and bites at the tough hide of the bulette as it desperately attempts to buck her off.Yulya looks to the ghoul and bulette finding herself surrounded by enemies. She leaves it to Cat where she goes next. if the zombie is down Yulya moves 30ft further west.
It just can't manage to shake her and suffers the consequences, as it's hide is ripped and torn. In return, it attempts to slam it's back against a wall.
You can tell by her scuffs and cracks that M3gan Panther is near her end as well.

« Last post by Kashtan on Yesterday at 02:25:39 pm »as things look M3gan panther wont be much help against Nezzer. why did she attack the bulette to begin with? Alice is crazy but shes right we should have plotted them against each other. at least the birds are useful now. things dont look too good on Yulyas side here if we dont finish off the zombie we have a big problem...
is Yulyas celestial revelation still active? dont forget she deals extra radiant dmg!

« Last post by Joy on Yesterday at 10:45:20 am »My day job office had a slide in it, like an ultra colorful child slide that was huge and complicated. At the same time there was a party going on and we were firing rockets into the sky in a competition.
A gaggle of HR Karens set up a ultra-colorful plastic automated train for children and suddenly there were a dozen children under 5 running around and ruding it. In the corcer of this rather large room was my desk. I was thinking they were trying to take my office.
The latest rocket had a flat wide nosecone, awful aerodynamics, no wonder it didn't go very high.
Now I was riding the slide down the side of the building but it was blocked at the end and a fat guy who looked like Randy Quaid was looking at me like I did something wrong.
I get off and walk with some familiar people and I was going home, it was night by nowso I get a call, it's the Howard Stern show, Howard wants Tucker Carlson's phone number. I ask them to hold on and I do have it, three numbers:
*979
1-800
And a nromal phone number.
I say goodbuy to Howard and that was it.

Once again, her shot misses. She moves West with Yulya.

The zombie doesn't manage to make contact but is still charged.
Cat notices the zombie is still charged and off-limits for a melee attack. Cat waits for Yulya to attack the zombie. If it's still un-alive after that, Cat will fire one honed arrow at the zombie. If not, she'll fire a poisoned arrow at the bulette, leaving the ghoul for later. Assuming that the zombie is eliminated, Cat moves towards the bulette. Should by extreme luck the zombie and the bulette go down, Cat again turns her attention to the ghoul and approaches him for decapitation.

Alice disengages from the bugbears and as a bonus action dashes 80ft west, hoping to lure the bugbears away right to the bird-friends. But without alerting them yet.
[Alice's brilliant and heroic plan: 1d100=4, LUCK: 1d20=7, BUGBEARS Decide: 1d2=(2,2), Stirges Decide: 1d3=(3,1,3)]
Alice's plan failed, but not completely, the Stirges were already alerted and on their way as Alice races West, she skids to a stop, followed by the bugbears as the bird-like creatures reach them. Two of them split off and attack Bugbear 2 while one attacks Alice.
[Grapple vs DC15,14,14 1d20+10=(14,15,29)][HIT vs AC18 1d20+9=(23,15),(28,14)][DMG AUTO-WOUND 1d4+6=9]
Being extremely nimble predators, they swoop in and attempt to grapple and strike their prey. The one targeting Alice just barely misses her but the other two manage to grapple tightly onto Bugbear2 and attack, one of them managing to find a good place to strike and wound him. It's jagged and razor sharp beak plunges deep into the flesh of his scalp causing him one level of exhaustion. The nature of its beak is meant to keep a wound open as they drink the blood of their victim.
Leaving Nezzer behind and out of mind, Alice reconsiders why she couldn't attack him.
[Saving Throw[A] vs DC15 1d20-1+1d4=(11,5)]
She just can't shake the notion that he's just too charismatic to attack.
Meanwhile Cat gives Yulya [2d6=3] temporary hit points and fires her crossbow at the zombie again.

« Last post by Alice on April 12, 2026, 07:21:55 pm »Alice hears battle sounds from the other side of the large doors to the south and spends her last Ki point on Step of the Wind (Disengage+Dash) and makes a run for the door. Busting through the double doors, she sees the bulette with the large cat she's seen before riding it's back holding fast. She looks every bit an electrified, demonized machine in action.[/i]Being shaken off, Alice's plan or riding the bulette has crumbled.
Alice tries to ride on top of it and grapple it.
Even with advantage, given its wild flailing, she can't manage to mount the beast. Though it's very much still active, it's looking haggard and scratched badly by the efforts of the panther.
Damn, what a mess. And I actually wanted to help you too!
The bugbears chase have to dash to keep up with Alice's speed. They barely catch up to her.Alice's eyes dart between the Mecha-panther, the bulette friend and the bugbear gentlemen that surround her.
She sighs and with a heavy heart chooses not to interfere in the battle between the Candy-goddess who crashed her ship and the bulette-friend fighting for freedom.
Forgive me, Panther-Candygoddess, I really wanna help you, but the gentlemen here are a bit persistent!
Alice disengages from the bugbears and as a bonus action dashes 80ft west, hoping to lure the bugbears away right to the bird-friends. But without alerting them yet.
Follow me gentlemen, or you'll be torn apart by my friend here! She's about as unreasonable as you!
