Your mind is full of a thousand images of future events and you are able to discern which is solid land and which is not until suddenly, a disturbing vision forms in your mind. You see yourself in combat with a terrible monster that has risen from a dark pit.

The Forbidden City posted:A vast, amorphous mass of slime and mud, wreathed with vines and dead vegetation, rises up out of the quagmire you have just passed. It reaches out and grabs you while you remain entranced, and presses you against its filth-encrusted body in a crushing bear hug. (Lose 2 ENDURANCE points.) You are being held by a Swamp Giant and it intends to squeeze the life out of you. Swamp Giant: COMBAT SKILL 16 ENDURANCE 30 Combat Ratio: -5 WP/Round: 6 We roll: 10 Grey Star: COMBAT SKILL 11 ENDURANCE 1 WILLPOWER 5 Swamp Giant: COMBAT SKILL 16 ENDURANCE 0 The Forbidden City posted:As the creature dies, its body melts away, leaving only a pile of mud and filth that once gave it form. Urik gives a shout of congratulation and you nod in acknowledgement; you are too tired to talk.

You lose that 1 EP regardless of whether you use Prophecy or not. And yeah, I knew it was a pointless decision before I asked you to make it.

It was neat to try to scrape through the first book with awful stats, but I think the joke's wearing a little thin. Reroll but otherwise make the same decisions we made to get to this point.

achtungnight posted:Reroll stats but take the safer route through the swamp. Saving the Chaksa was a good thing. OK, that's what we'll do. New stats! Willpower: 37 Endurance: 24 OK, so that's almost the same scores as last time. How about let's not roll for it, let's just take the average of 5 (well, 4.5 but we'll round it up) for each of them. No point rerolling if we're just going to have the same scores anyway. Combat Skill: 15 Willpower: 37 Endurance: 25 First we take the 3 Azawood Leaves, then Shield ourself, Urik and the Ooslo bird with Sorcery at a cost of 2 WP and a Tarama seed. Then we come to the Chaksu, which we will defend. The Forbidden City posted:The gap in the undergrowth that leads into the clearing is very narrow and the Shadakine can pass through only a few at a time. Three Shadakine warriors charge towards you, bellowing a savage battle-cry. To your surprise, Urik produces a small boomerang edged with razor-sharp teeth. He wields it with great skill and accuracy. With a stunned cry, the first of the Shadakine falls to the ground, his sword arm severed by Urik’s deadly weapon. Two Shadakine remain and you must fight them as one enemy. Shadakine Warriors: COMBAT SKILL 18 ENDURANCE 24 Combat Ratio: -3 WP/Round: 5 We roll: 9 Gray Star: COMBAT SKILL 15 ENDURANCE 25 WILLPOWER 30 Shadakine Warriors: COMBAT SKILL 18 ENDURANCE 0 The Forbidden City posted:Although you have defeated the Shadakine warriors, the clearing is now full of raging soldiers. Wary of the power of your Staff they avoid further risk to themselves and send in a Magdi. The beast lunges at you, its claws and fangs thirsting for your blood. Due to the magical powers of their maker, Shasarak, the Magdi have a natural resistance to magic and you must subtract 2 from your COMBAT SKILL for the duration of the combat. Magdi Hound: COMBAT SKILL 20 ENDURANCE 30 Combat Ratio: -7 WP/Round: 7 We roll: 9 Gray Star: COMBAT SKILL 13 ENDURANCE 23 WILLPOWER 23 Magdi Hound: COMBAT SKILL 20 ENDURANCE 0 We'll pick up the Chaksu Pipes and restore 1 EP, then we come to the Gurlu Marshes. But this time we'll take the slower, safer route to the northwest. The Forbidden City posted:Urik has routed out a supply of Lianor and hands you three of the blue tubers. Each tuber counts as one Meal and you store them in your Backpack. You set off at once, for the success of your quest depends on haste.

The use of this spell has cost you 2 WILLPOWER points. The giant falters, apparently confused. He shakes his head and looks at his sword as if it were not his own.
