Chewing on some goofy foreign pink sap material that retains a rubbery consistency even hours later, Vivi skips at least three squares over to the side around the altar, putting Grandpa and Big Sis between the Grundly-Loo and herself and establishing
Concealment! She then lets out a deep sigh, which blows the sap into a bubble that she witchingly holds on her lips as she begins to shuffle sweets between her fingers in her pockets, channeling a
Curse onto the Grundly-Loo, which seems redundant for a cursed Druid monster, but stay with me! A velvety-thick pink-purple sheen of magical energy drapes over her coat, granting her
Dark Majesty against the Grundly-Loo for +2 Defenses whilst it is cursed!
What's a Squiggle-Goo?! Fransisca would only hear every second word as Vivi very eagerly recites the story of a young mage who tried to create a friend for himself, to soothe his troubled life. He breathed necromancy into a bit of sap and fed it with rare bits of sweets he could pocket from the market, guaranteeing it would survive and grow to be as sweet and doting as he was to it! They'd talk for hours at a time at night, and the little slime wondered why it didn't have all the things Humans had. In time the animated bit of goo began to grow and grow, becoming harder and harder to hide... and to contain. Eventually the Squiggle-Goo would become too big for it's cupboard prison and it had a wonderful idea as it barreled out of the pantry in the little house.
"My parents need eyes to watch over me!" The young wizard said! Once the Squiggle-Goo ate them, it had eyes too! Some to spare! Then it began to roll into town, where it spied the same stalls it saw from the boy's pocket. "I can only take a little, I don't have permission." That's alright! The Squiggle-Goo would take in the kindly shop-keepers and now it could give permission, all the time!
In the end, the boy would wake up and confront his friend, screaming as it ate him, the last survivor of the little village. "Now we can be together and never alone! Let's go on an adventure..." The house-sized slime bubbles and boils and burgles and gurgles and rankles and writhes, it's cotton candy pink sheen glimmering above Vivi's tiny frame, dozens of eye-balls bobbing about near the top like boiling rice in a pan. Vivi thrusts a hand forward and the whole mass of the ethereal Squiggle-Goo cascades forward, rolling over the Grundly-Loo in a psionic shock-wave that floods the mind with the gibbering of the mouths and eyes and minds inside the happy, simple-minded Squiggle-Goo.
Curse of the Dark Dream vs Will
1d20 +5
16 + 5 = 21
Curse of the Dark Dream Damage
3d8 +3
1 + 5 + 6 + 3 = 15
Curse Damage
1d6
4
So that's
19 Damage, passing on the option to shift it 3 squares for now, but it has a
Save Ends effect vs me being able to Shift it 1 Squares every round after so long as I sustain a Minor. And another -2 to it's attack until the end of my next turn!
Action Point!Vivi's bubble pops and she blinks, startled as she comes out of story-telling mode. She wraps the wad off her face with an index finger and then draws it through the dark, majestic sheen of pink-purple around herself a bit, gathering some extra yummy sweet energy. She pops a bit of hard tack candy into her mouth and bites down hard, producing a violet spark from between her pointed teeth for the impact, which ignites the wad on her finger! She flicks it out at the Grundly-Loo, where the entire mass catches in the air, billows out into a drape of flame and lands on it, covering the beast in
Witchfire!
Witchfire vs REflex
1d20 +5
7 + 5 = 12
Witchfire Damage
2d6 +3
3 + 1 + 3 = 7
Another
7 Damage and being ignited by sweet, syrupy fire reduces the Grundly-Loo's attack by another -5, for -7 total until the end of Vivi's next turn!
