I wonder if Arden's good enough to disguise her plan to cap dis' bitch.

Oh well, hopefully no one was planning to make friends!

If you were, well.

I hope you have high Cha and Speech Scores.

Just copying Scan results here as given to me on the pad by Krylo.


Scan Result for Group 1 Target:

Overlord Zombie
Level: 2
Description: An amalgam of hume and other humanoid corpses stitched together with a giant blade replacing one of its arms
Category: Undead
Location: Town
Size: 6ft
Reaction: Neutral

HP: 138
MP: 46

STR: 10
VIT: 10
DEX: 8
INT: 10
CHA: 8

Special: Undead, Weakness to Fire, Weakness to Holy, Immunity (Healing), Status Touch Poison, Regen 20 hp/round.

Has Ring worn around neck. Will likely melt if hit by powerful fire or electric magic.

Soooo... theoretically, if Elsa managed to successfully cast Lock on the Goatee'd Zombie Overlord, could someone just walk up and take the ring/pendant off the guy, at which point the rest of us proceed to either beat it up or run like hell?

Cuz Elsa's got MP to spare and is almost in range for spell casting.

Well, Lock is breakable. If the goatee'd guy makes a strength check of 13, he's free. And since he has 10 strength, I doubt it'd hold him for long. Lock really isn't great against anything with more than 6 strength.

Dammit.


Huh. Guess I need to read the manual again.

You could cast it when we are close in, so we can have a free turn to grab it off of him.

Elsa could also combo-magic with Jhennek - Lock and Thunder would probably hurt and all. Arden's got enough MP to try and make it a Holy Lock, I suppose, so there's that option too (she'd be reluctant, since its hard to guess if it'd work or not, but if Elsa asks, she'll try). Raltz' Cures won't combo well against the head Zombie, unforunately, since he's immune to healing damage.

Basically! Possible Combos:

Lock + Restore
Lock + Thunder

Alternatively, Elsa could target his support zombies. She may have better luck holding those.

I'll post some glowing diplomacy that could end the war in the Middle East as soon as I'm sober. Either that, or Bello could Mimic a Thunder and we can fry him. But my intent is diplomacy.

Making that check requires him to roll a 10 or higher on 2d6. That's a one in six chance. THAT'S PRETTY LOW.

Krylo's inclusion of "Will likely melt if hit by powerful fire or electric magic" makes me assume that if Jhen does anything besides a normal Thunder spell she will hit the ring and ruin the quest.

Or maybe even a normal Thunder spell with good rolls.
