Well, we got through it fine without you, like with the Stone nymphs and the wannabies.

POS Industries · 09-19-2006, 12:44 PM

Well, then you'll be fine as long as you don't run across any large, inanimate rocks.

Flarecobra · 09-19-2006, 01:14 PM

Even Indiana Jones had problems dealing with those, so it's not like it's anything to be ashamed of.

POS Industries · 09-19-2006, 01:40 PM

This brings up an interesting point, actually. Not only could Indiana Jones (played by Harrison Ford) not deal with giant boulders, but he couldn't handle snakes on a plane, either. On the other hand, Samuel L. Jackson had little trouble with such a problem, but got totally blindsided by Darth Vader (played by a mannequin from Sears). However, Darth Vader totally got blindsided and sent hurtling off into the cosmos for a while by Han Solo (played by Harrison Ford).

The progression goes something like this:

Harrison Ford < Snakes on a Plane < Samuel L. Jackson < Darth Vader < Harrison Ford

Wrap your head around that.

Actually, it was just Paris Hilton's itinerary for yesterday.

*a rimshot can be heard echoing off into the distance*

Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week! Don't forget to tip your waitress!

EDIT: I didn't feel like waiting until tomorrow at the earliest to deal with it, and I thought this would be fun.

Well, I've decided to bam things up a notch with a grand melee. I also seem to have a love of doing cruel things to my own characters. Friends don't let friends kill people with stomach explosions.

Firstly, if you need to remind yourself about what a monster or encounter rating means, the post describing them can be found here. As I've said in the RP thread, this battle is Doom Cookies rated.

Name: The Capitalist (True Form)
Class: Sub-boss
Appearance: The best summary of The Capitalist's true nature is he is a creature of Chaos that for reasons best left known only to itself, decided to become a buisnessman. Thus defining his nature, he took on a disguise.
He appears as a slightly transparent, green, immensely fat giant of a man. We're talking makes sumo wrestlers look puny. He still has his monocle, top hat and moustache, whihc would make him look faintly ridiculous if it weren't for the fact he's busy trying to crush you to a pulp with rather frightening degrees of success.
Abilities/weapons:
High strength and agility higher than what you'd expect in a fat man
Incredible Bulk: This jello green giant is not to be trifled with. His girth renders him largely impervious to most forms of attack - they either bounce off him, have limited effect or occaisionally get stuck in him. He is also slightly amorphous. Expect to have a lot of trouble hurting him.

Name: Bruticus
Class: Sub-boss
Appearance: Bruticus is the very epitome of a large man with a gun. Dressed in a well tailored black suit, he has a massive, brooding presence that virtually exudes threat. Bald and with a stare that treats everything with the same incipient hostility, his face has heavy features. In addition to the weapons attached to the ends of each arm, he has been seen to have at least two handguns and presumably has other weapons about his person.
Abilities/weapons:
Aptly Named: When fighting Bruticus, expect to get generally brutalised. He is a walking pile of brutality who is very adept at spreading the hurt. He also can take amazing amounts of punishment and still give as good as he's getting.
Solves Problems With Violence: Bruticus is adept at resolving a wide range of problem or obstacles by shooting them or otherwise performing violent acts. If he can not solve a problem with violence, not only does a solution not exist, it probably can't.

Name: Fungal Trolls
Class: Logical
Appearance: These trolls are one of the subspecies that is partially fungal in nature. They reproduce via spores which burrow and grow into new trolls. These are also believed to be the origin of the myth that if you cut off a limb, the limb will become a new troll eventually. This has been known to happen, but isn't particularly common.
Essentially, they are trolls - big, tough, strong, mean and not particularly blessed with looks or intelligence. Their skin is a mottled green with what looks like algae growing in patches on them. They generally wield crude weapons like clubs and wear nothing more than loincloths.
Abilities/weapons:
Regenerate: Like all trolls, fungal trolls rapidly heal from injuries. They are not particularly vulnerable to fire, able to regenerate the damage.

Thod is also at the battle, tree and all, but he's not actually fighting. If someone feels a need to attack him, treat him as an Insane enemy, this rating being mainly due to his possibly negative IQ. He is astoundingly tough and strong, otherwise treat him as a fungal troll.

I'll leave it your own imaginations what effects the food has, but suggestions include: hallucinations, sudden obesity, loss of balance, extreme hunger, addiction to the food, uncontrollable shakes, blindness, deafness, nausea, vomiting and stomach explosion.

As for the jungle, I'll also leave it to your imaginations - vines strangling you, roots holding your feet, the earth threatening to drag you down, being attacked by a number of animals with weird glowy eyes, thorn bushes, branches scratching and trying to poke out your eyes and so on. Anything doing any reasonably widespread damage to the jungle will only infuriate it.

I took halucination and insatiable hunger.

Arhra · 09-21-2006, 09:35 AM

Uh, Newb, we're in the middle of the jungle. There is no bacon-fruit.

Still, we haven't had a good fight for some time, so hopefully this will liven things up a little.

Uhoh.

Curse you halucinations!
