Odds sound reasonable to me... No wait - we forgot the arrival of Bobs character who casts a level 12 'fuck skeletons' and destroys them as a whole and we are left giggling in our shit stained armour - right? so it's come down to a divine intervention has it? read the book aloud? burn the book? give them the book? ???? ------------------------- FROM: Jason Proctor TO: "satanworship@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [4]" SENT: Monday, September 29, 2014 1:35 PM SUBJECT: [satanworship] Re: 28 milliseconds later from the back of the cave, you can no longer see Chump and Arfa as they are buried in skallywags. the second row out of the pit surrounds the first and will have at it in the very short term. the third and subsequent rows marched around the melee and and are approaching you (this is when i made your Bottle Out roll). they're not running as such, but they are doing a fast mechanical march. decent pace required to keep ahead of them. the light is dim so you can't really determine whether all the scallywags mobilised or whether some couldn't be bothered. the original estimate for skallys in the cave was 150 or so. (i assume) you dashed back to the scorpion man room to tell C border-left: 1px #ccc solid; padding-left: 1ex;"> Not to die. Just how incredibly bad does it look from Splut's perspective?
