8 Dice Rolls invisibility recharge

Garrmondo finally manages to lure one of the armors within reach of the others. It's beginning to look awfully battered.

Footwork Lure: 12 damage to Animated Armor (bloodied)

Gabriel manages to actually reach the enemy and give him what-for. If you're going to spend all that money on plate mail, put some soldiers in there! This stuff is expensive, what kind of idiot do you have to be to let it wander around on its own initiative?

Bolstering Strike: 10 damage to Animated Armor. Gabe's temp. HP +2

The invisible brain abruptly stops being invisible with an audible pop!, and his wheedling voice sneaks into Argumentus' brain.

Hello, friend. Do you remember the little piglet you kept as a pet when you were small? The old dwarf killed and ate it. It's true. How do you feel about that?

Argumentus' gaze falls on Motsognir, smoldering with a long-suppressed rage.

Brain stops being invisible; dominates Arg until Brain's next turn

Not wanting to get involved in the staring contest Argumentus was apparently trying to start, Soggy trots up and finishes off the nearest armor with a flourish. It smashes into bits, quite ruining its future wearability. Ah well, it was too big for him anyway.

Viper's Strike: CRITICAL HIT! 17 damage. Animated Armor destroyed.

Bob, Animated Armor, Argumentus (DOM), Garrmondo, Gabriel, Brain in a Jar, Motsognir

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The clever dwarf stepped up and destroyed one of the suits of armour with a single blow and I shouted a yell of encouragement to him.

I was about to move up next to him to get a better look down the corridor and blast the enemies but the big human had a funny look in his eyes and I wasn't so sure I wanted to stand any closer to him. Instead, I stood my ground and readied my ray of enfeeblement, preparing to blast the next suit of armour to enter the room.

Move one square west. Ready ray of enfeeblement, use it on any bad dudes who enter the room

I was speaking idiomatically.

6 Dice Rolls reaping strike v. Mots

Now that Garrmondo's out of the way, the armors file into the room in an orderly line. Bob fires off a necromantic ray as the nearest one approaches him, but it flies harmlessly through the several holes in the armor's helm.

The narrowly-missed armor slams his heavy gauntlet into Bob's chest.

Gauntlet Punch: 8 damage to Bob

Argumentus is overwhelmed with the sad memory of his long-lost little piglet, and starts battering Motsognir furiously with his meaty fists. Then he realizes his mistake: Piggy-Sue had gone to the Daisy Hill Piggy Farm! Nobody had eaten her at all. How silly.

Reaping Strike: 2 damage to Motsognir

Garrmondo, Gabriel, Brain in a Jar, Motsognir, Bob, Animated Armor, Argumentus

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The dwarf looked to the heavens, his eyes becoming lost in the radiance of Kord's light. He began mumbling in tongues before turning those star-filled eyes on the most distant assailant. Let the two nearer him crash against his armour like waves on the rocks. He would destroy the foolish creatures long before they could wittle away at his defenses.

Divine Challenge on green armour. Dire radiance on green armour.

1 Die Roll Hit the armour

Not really in the mood for going toe to toe with a suit of armour, I deftly skipped away from my assailant before spinning and blasting it in what would once have been it's face with a frost ray.

Shift south, ray of frost on nearest armour

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Motsognir had to stop the brain before it turned his lady against him. He looked at the brain, angrily. He decided then, he would fucketh up that brain.

7 Dice Rolls green punch gabe

Motsognir's inexplicable fireball strikes the jar squarely, sending it teetering about in midair and putting the vile fluids in which it floats into a gentle boil.

Scorching Burst: 7 damage to Brain Jar

Bob attempts to use his most basic spell on a mindless enemy at nearly point-blank range. Well, they can't all be winners.

Ray of Frost: miss

The armors continue marching inexorably toward Bob. The furthest seems suddenly more interested in Gabriel, and as Garrmondo suddenly finds himself in a cooperative mood he lets the armor pass.

Dire Radiance effect: 4 damage to Animated Armor
Gauntlet Punch: 7 damage to Bob

2 Dice Rolls footwork damage

His sudden fury over the passing of Piggy-Sue fading away, Argumentus decides he might as well pass the time by smashing up some heavily-armored pedestrians.

Passing Attack: 16 damage to Animated Armor (destroyed), 11 damage to Animated Armor

Garrmondo finds himself a little confused about which side he's on. Until he can figure it out, he reasons he'd better break up the fight. He grabs Gabriel about the neck and drags him away from the fracas.

Footwork Lure: 11 damage to Gabe

Gabriel, Brain in a Jar, Motsognir, Bob, Animated Armor, Argumentus, Garrmondo

I was speaking idiomatically.

The dwarf spun in annoyance at the newcomer.

"Right. Look here, new jack. Lay your hands on me one more time and I'll cut yer balls off, yeah?"

With that he dug his feet in and turned to glower after the jar that was generally floating around and being creepy. His weapon glowed with the intensity of all that was righteous of Kord's wrath and anger. The white light filled the corridor as he stalked his prey and swung out viciously with his axe, the light arcing out towards the creature.

second wind. Divine strength. Radiant delirium.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

4 Dice Rolls dominate vs Gabe

Fed up with all these Kord-damned floating brains in this Kord-damned dungeon, the paladin unleashes the most vicious blow he can muster. The jar is dashed violently to the floor, fractures erupting all over its surface as the jar's noxious fluids begin to leak out onto the stones. The brain's ascent back into the air is wobbly at best.

Second Wind: Gabe's HP +12 (with defense bonuses)

Radiant Delirium: CRITICAL HIT! 29 damage, jarbrain is bloodied and dazed

Suddenly bereft of its defenders, the brain worms into Gabriel's mind in a desperate attempt to save himself from the dwarf's fury. But Gabriel scarcely seems to notice the small voice in the back of his head, such is his rage.

Motsognir, Bob, Animated Armor, Argumentus, Garrmondo, Gabriel, Brain in a Jar

nothing much changed, just refer to the previous map

FELIPE NO

The dwarf simply dismissed one more voice in his brain as merely another note in the growing choir taking root in his mind. What be one more word when the heavens and the gods themselves whisper to you?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

2 Dice Rolls Damage

I continued my retreat, from the hulking suits of armour with a graceful pirouette, easily ducking under their clumsy swipes. Once at a safer distance, I blasted one of them with another ice ray.

The dwarf turned on his heels and took pace towards the animated armour that slumped and dipped limply. A short slide as he approached took him opposite the mage, hoping to draw the thing's attention and split its vision as his axe swung in a vicious arc towards its midsection. His knuckled were white as they gripped the hilt of his weapon, the rage at the loss of the cleric still fresh in his mind. These mindless creatures would feel the sudden wrath of his vengeance. He knew there were more beasts lurking in these catacombs, and they too would be destroyed at his hands. Let them come. Let them all fall. He would collapse against Kord himself before he let these beasts overwhelm his friends again.

As the beast doubled over in the face of his blessed rage, the paladin pointed his axe at the remaining armour and grinned. "You are next, abomination."

Argumentus makes way to Q27, striking the Yellow Armor while it busies itself with the woman.

1 Die Roll dominate vs Garr

Orange Armor destroyed. Yellow Armor bloodied & marked.

The brain finally gets its cartwheeling jar under control to find a very angry Garrmondo staring down at it. Under immediate peril, it suggests (ever so subtly) to Garrmondo that he might want to run in the opposite direction. The fighter promptly turns on his heel and flees back to the east, and the brain floats into the west doorway before vanishing into thin air once again.

Garr dominated; brain goes to L18 before turning invisible

I was running out of retreating space quickly but my companions had come to my aid and distracted the malevolent suit of armour enough for me to again duck out of punching range and deliver an icy blast to the thing's mid-section.
