Alright guys, let's move the chat/strategizing/questions in here to keep the other thread from getting too bogged down.

    Careful, Scar might stuff you in a crate for holding out on him. :P

    Tristan has a secret bondage and minotaur fetish so it all works out.

    oh dear... another thread to destroy...

    you should link to it saw, cause i dont know if it will stay on first page or not

    but in strategy, my light staff power will deal an instant 1 radiant damage (plus any radiant weaknesses) to any undead that starts its turn within the radius of the light (4 squares). so i have a minion killing aura power that i am about to unleash...

    I should warn you that this encounter completely changed when I was writing up the initial stat/map post and stuff. I was looking for stats on the minion and found something that is going to make the fight so much more epic and awesome.

    However, I can't promise you will all survive. :P

    If anyone does get killed, if you'd like, we can bring you in as a new character via a survivor the party comes across, so that's a plus, right? :lol:

    As much as I love Tristan, the prospect of playing as a halfling prostitute with a whip is very exciting.

    Just kidding, please don't kill him.

    I'm picturing the level from Jedi Academy where you have to run and leap past crates while a rancor chases you and destroys everything in it's path. Except instead of a rancor it's a Rat king-esque zombie.

    I have managed to hit two enemies in as many rounds. Clearly, whatever SAW is sending at us next is going to murder us utterly, just to drive the point home that we can never actually win a battle.

    Now that I think about it, we really have managed to "win" every encounter so far by fleeing, haven't we?

    Yeah. :lol:

    And you'll be able to win this one. Its going to be tough, but I've actually put you in a situation that gives you a fairly big advantage.

    I've said it one, and I'll say it again - SAW is the only DM on these forums that is actively seeking to kill off his party, no matter the encounter.

    You clearly have never played with tasty. And, you know, for me wishing to kill you, its funny how you've all survived. :P

    We only survive because we flee in abject terror long before the enemy actually knocks us out.

    Wait! Our first encounter in the abbey, we totally won that one. Take THAT, SAW!

    You can definitely win this fight. I've already given you a hint earlier on how to do it, actually.

    I considered double moving, but then figured a another zombie has to pop out of a box somewhere. Might as well be prepared for when it comes and tries to eat Tristan's face.

    Well, luckily the Horror totally whiffed against Scar, so that makes it less critical you get there. Otherwise he'd be in much more trouble.

    Okay, so I have been looking at SAW's narration posts to see if I can find this "hint" he says he dropped.
    Crossing the threshold into the warehouse, you begin to notice that the smell of fire--which permeates the air here wherever you are--seems a bit stronger here. But it is also tinted with something else that none of you can identify.

    Fire, maybe?
    The creature has multiple heads, each with rotten teeth, and its entire form seems to have been burned at least a dozen times. As it moves, however, its 'skin' cracks and exposes a hint of what seems to be flames still burning beneath the surface.

    ... water, maybe?

    Yeah that's all the potential hints I can find.

    EDIT FROM AFTER MY GAME POST:
    That's right, fuckers. This is why you bring the Cleric to the party.

    The hint may not have been in the narration, necessarily.

    And lucky as well. I missed those 2 attacks with the Horror, but also totally forgot it had a third. And now its barely going to survive another round with you guys at this rate. :lol:
