Episode 119 - Unfinished Rites

Sigrid, one of these shadowy creatures, these dark reflections of the Trollkin that you saw in the torchlight at the beginning of this cavern, this labyrinth, it lunges towards you with its mouth open.

There's no sound.

No. Oh no.

There was a sound.

That's typically the sound that occurs if there's a critical success.

Oh, I thought someone broke something.

I was gonna say, it was like broken glass.

Yeah, that's the sound that Foundry makes for me.

I don't like it.

I mean, congrats, yay!

No, no, no,

no, no. It's Teeth.

It succeeded.

It's Teeth.

Oh, I mean, congrats to it then.

Enter your throat and it feels like cold ice in your neck.

It withdraws and you feel like something is missing from you as you stagger backwards.

It moves from side to side on the heels of its shadowy feet, ready to strike again.

Eske, the one that you've just struck, lunges forward at you.

Its horrible black talons rake through the side of your arm, and you feel an icy grip creep up to your shoulder.

All right, Sigrid, it's your turn.

Please roll your sanity from unnatural for me.

I guess my call shots.

Goodbye now, sanity.

Yeah, you

just got attacked, so there's no aiming here.

47 under 63.

Ooh, look out.

I

pass.

Excellent.

You lose zero sanity.

What

would you like to do with your turn?

The aiming that you were trying to do is ruined at this point.

The thing is now raking at you with its teeth and apparently ready to prepare another round of icy malevolence.

I think Sigrid is going to be focused on hitting his mom.

So shoot an arrow.

No aim, no nothing.

She's just going to shoot an arrow now.

Let her loose.

So you turn away from the thing that's attacking you and you try to knock an arrow as quickly as possible.

Let it fly.

Wait, did

I?

Wait, did I? Oh, sorry, sorry.

I already rolled, but I succeeded both times.

40 under 65.

All right, show off.

Ew.

Ew.

You took that away from your next roll.

Go ahead and roll

your damage.

Now, keep in mind, I did need to give you a minus 20% on that, but you still passed.

But it'll be real difficult to be shooting a bow as something tries to sink its teeth and nails into you.

That's basically right behind

you.

Yeah, I'm just that good.

So that means

you're really cool.

Yeah.

It's pretty cool.

That's a D, what?

It should be right on your character sheet.

Just click it.

That goes for everybody's weapons.

And your equipment.

You can just click it.

Damage

lethality.

It's a five, baby.

Sweet.

the arrow flies true through the dark barely lit by the torchlight but your eyes still follow at sea grief as it lands in the shoulder of this enormous troll finally her smiling visage turns towards one of these injuries one of these wounds as the other northmen beat against her bulk as if it's caught her attention she looks confused as she stares at this arrow a bluish fluid starting to well up around it she frowns and her eyes turn towards you secret
