When I asked Vlad's player what he looked like he said Vlad resembled Jack White.
Life Changes undergone:
Thanks to Dr. Von Himmel’s expertise Vlad is now a bat winged head bossing his reanimated corpse around. His head has 4 hp, and is AC 5, which can be uparmored and will gain HP as you level.
His body is HP 20 and will remain so. Keep it away from sharp cornered furniture, open flames, and Krenshaw Powder.


 Addendum:
Seeing as [Tao's Player] will soon be escaping leaving us, she’s proposed we meet sometime over the next  week for an extended game session. I’m flexible enough, so if you guys can get enough of a quorum I’m happy to run another long game.

Commentary:

Oh, I've been so looking forward to telling you all about this one, boils and ghouls. This is my all time crowning achievement in weirding up the party!


As the party rumbled with the dunkleosteus headed gargoyle creatures in the newly discovered cave under the basement at Castle Von Himmel, poor Vlad ran afoul of a critical hit from one of the cthonic beasts' claws as well as my dreaded Dodecahedrons of Doom tables. Lets just say when his coin got flipped it came up heads.

Well, the party managed to finally stomp the ancient creatures down and then picked up the pieces for a hurried transport back up to Doctor Von Himmel's laboratory. (They also managed to pick up the loot off the skeleton on the steps as well as bust open the monsters' pedestals, which is where I think they got all those silver dodecahedrons. Hey, Vlad wasn't goin' anywhere, really. Not like the Golden Hour means much when they've already croaked.) 

Honestly, there are few places it's better to be decapitated by a primordial monster than in the basement of the greatest mad scientist of the land's laboratory. Thanks to the good doctor's ministrations, Vlad really came out ahead

Stay tuned for more terrible jokes and terrible things on Friday. 

I'm shakin' with antici... 




pation!
