OOC,[b]Michael[/b] missed completely. He got three 1s, which more than cancel out the two 6s. Thanks for the Crystal, and for the Sanity point! That will help keep me going even after the Crystal is gone. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3649024/]Spell check (Lore 4 -1 [Shrivelling] +1 [Time Stands Still] = 4 dice), casting Shrivelling, Round 3 (4d6.hits(4)=2)[/url]. I forgot that Taint of Evil affects this too, but I still succeeded thanks to my Blessing (the 5 is reduced to a 4). Another Clue token is placed on Crystal of the Elder Things. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3649029/]Combat check (Fight 3 +6 [Shrivelling] +3 [Enchanted Knife] - 1 [Yibb-Tstll] = 11 dice) attacking Yibb-Tstll (all dice -1 this round, 1s and 2s count as -1 success), Round 3 (11d6.hits(5)=6)[/url] That would have been 10, but I still got 2 successes on the initial roll alone. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3649034/]Using Research to reroll failed dice attacking Yibb-Tstll, Round 3 (5d6.hits(5)=0)[/url]. Two of the -1 success rolls are canceled, for a total of 4 hits so far. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3649035/]Using Bullwhip to reroll the 1, Round 3 (1d6.hits(5)=0)[/url]. No further improvement. Added to the 51 from the first two rounds and [b]Carolyn[/b]'s 3, that gives us 58/110 hits. We're more than halfway there, but things are going to get much harder from here on out with less of us in the fight.

OOC,Oh, I hadn't realized that. It's been a while since I saw the text of the card. That certainly changes things for the better. [b]Michael[/b] got one hit, then. [b]Rex[/b] got one as well, [b]Carolyn[/b] scored seven, and [b]Mandy[/b] got a whopping eleven! We're now at 71/110, which is much better. I think we may actually win this one! Unfortunately, [b]Michael[/b] needs a 6 this round to avoid being devoured. :cry:

OOC,[b]Mandy[/b] loses 1 Stamina for [b]Michael[/b]'s death. Taint of Evil affects every roll, including the Focus roll for when Yibby attacks. That 5 became a 4, which fails unless you have a Blessing. I already factored in all of our successes in the last round in the total in my previous post. We've done 71/110 damage so far.

OOC,I kept my Blessing, so I have a 75% chance to survive this round. It may pay for me to keep most of my stuff and inflict as much damage as I can even if it does turn out to be my last chance, though I'll hand the .38 Revolver off to someone else just in case. I'll use the Research Materials this round. If I don't need it to cast Shrivelling, I'll use it on my attack. The Crystal will be used up this round. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3650892/]Roll to keep Blessing (on anything but a 1), Round 4 (1d6.hits(2)=1)[/url]. No changes.

OOC,[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3652581/]Focus roll to avoid Yibb-Tstll's attack, Round 4 (2d6.hits(4)=1)[/url]. Woot! [b]Mandy[/b] lives! :D I think we can beat this thing now. I'll be around for at least three more rounds, which should be enough. I could use the Sanity point next round, and I'll also take back the .38 then.
