Slime Salad

Perhaps my favorite turn-based tactical type game was Fallout. Particularly how you weren't just going from level to level with each starting out as a battle. How each battle starts would depend on the real-time gameplay prior to each battle. I've also always preferred action points over a specific ...

Kalar turns to the closest hostile bloodhulk and holds out his holy symbol. He pours divine power into it and sends a bolt of dark energy screaming towards it.



Dark Bolt (BoVD): 4d8 damage, half cold half untyped. Target is immune to being stunned because of the fort save.

Kalar moves closer to his most injured bloodhulk and pours negative energy into it, healing it up. He looks around at the continued carnage, pleased at how relatively well things are going. It could have gone better, but it's a great deal more effective than previous encounters involving his minion...

Incidentally, I think Lynda still has the masterwork thieves' tools that Kalar gave to her.

Yeah, while Kalar is buying you guys time to go through the place invisible to all undead.

Kalar allows all of his minions to continue tearing into the hostile undead. He raises his arm up and sends power through it, channeling divine power into himself (+2 luck bonus on attack and damage rolls for one minute). That done, he moves in alongside his undead army to engage the remaining host...

Kalar keeps his own forces back, letting the wyvern do what damage it can for now. He does, however, stay near the front. He raises his holy symbol again and channels negative energy into it. He knows he cannot control any further undead, but he can put the fear of Kalar into them. He releases the ...

Right now, it's Kalar, Hrulgin, 1 ghoul, 5 zombies, 10 skeletons, and 4 bloodhulks vs how many?

Kalar wonders whether or not to strike first. On the one hand, if he does, it allows him to rejoin the others more quickly. However, keeping things quiet up here could potentially prevent any alarms from going off. Still, the last time they were separated, one of the group died. He decides to act. ...

With nothing happening yet, Kalar assumes that the others have yet to run into any undead. Still, might be a good idea to do something other than simply waiting around. He returns to the wagon and retrieves a barrel. He calls over a bloodhulk and orders it to pull apart the metal bands holding the ...

Hehe, I love Rob's comment about how Stumpy had better have skin. EDIT: Oh, and no, Kalar won't stay up there while everyone explores. Once the spell wears off, and once the hostile undead are taken care of, he'll follow the party into the tower. He'll leave Hrulgin, most of the lesser undead, and t...

"Boss, I'm going to head on over to the towers to tell them, if they can even hear me, our situation." With that, Hrulgin heads for the central tower. He has no idea where the others are, so he simply stops a few feet from the tower and calls out: "Kalar has taken control of a great ...

Kalar is cautious. He knows that Stumpy and the rest of the houses are with the wagon, but he cannot see them because of the spell. And he can't feel around for them, or the spell well end, putting his comrades in danger. With few other options open to him, he decides to stay put for now, giving th...
