"Bone to Pick” (The other group)
Not officially a 10ft Squares post, but definitely worth sharing.
Spoilers for book 6 of Rise of the Runelords.
Three intrepid heroes of sandpoint venture to an abandoned cabin near a mine. Quinn, the nearly fearless half-elf ranger and group leader.Lorelai, the stunning, but manipulative human maestro-blooded sorceress. And Snarvel Brunsquash, who’s as weird as his name sounds, Svirfneblin barbarian.
Said cabin is haunted by the spirits of mining dwarves who succumbed to insanity and cannibalism, the most nastiest of haunts, taking form of the skeleton of the adventure who stumbles upon it.
Snarvel is the lucky one to find the skeleton, of which he immediately picks up. The haunt begins and he is tormented by 10 hungry ghosts who deal half of his total HP.
Unfortunately, neither Quinn or Lorelai are aware of this taking place, and the ghostly damage leaves no marks on poor Snarvel.
A ghostly knocking brings them all to the same room. In which Snarvel attempts to sleight of hand one of the many bones he PICKED UP AND CARRIED OUT OF THE ROOM into Lorelai’s pocket.
The sorceress leaps away and greases the bones so the creepy little dark gnome will drop them....but an impressive reflex save allows him to retain hold.
GM: Soooo you’re still holding the haunt. *rolls 10 more attacks* Sorry man
Once again 10 ghost dwarves bite him and swirl around him while Quinn and Lorelai look on in horror.
Snarvel explodes, leaving only a crimson skeleton and goop behind.
Quinn: WELL! LORELAI LET’S GET OUT OF HERE
Lorelai: *hugging Quinn from behind and peeking around in horror* Teleport!
GM: Karzoug wins, good job guys, I’d feel bad but Snarvel brought this on himself.
