“What are you doing? Going out there would be akin to suicide!” “Yes, I know! But really I don’t see any other way! I mean, we’re low on supplies, and unless we find an antidote for the poison, Jeph is going to die! We can’t just sit here and do nothing!” “Well, what kind of weapons do we have? “Against an army of undead, brought to life by an evil necromancer? I’d say that we’re up the proverbial creek without a paddle.” “But there _has_ to be a way! There’s _always_ a way!” “You're deluding yourself into thinking that this life is fair! How about the time where Harlowe was trapped in the catacombs with a gelatinous cube and the exits were sealed off? I can still hear his whimpering!” “I always suspected foul play there! But there is an option! I’m going outside. I’ll use my Bane of Lazarus to take out the army!” “Hm. You rolled a nine, and you needed at least a twelve for that ploy. Pity. Looks like you were mauled by the ravenous reanimated corpses outside the cave.” “Saving throw?” 2007-12-05T21:05:20Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/14771 <p>&#38; im gunna guess uselessness liked it&#8230; now thats aome praise you dont get everyday =* }</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/14771?basename=26775 2007-12-05T21:05:20Z llamaluvsmenotu http://ficlets.com/authors/user_2924 <p>im very happy to say i have no idea what your talking about ; )</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/14771?basename=26774 2007-12-05T21:04:28Z llamaluvsmenotu http://ficlets.com/authors/user_2924 <p>Curse those gelantinous cubes!!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/14771?basename=26436 2007-12-03T20:59:21Z Cavalry Calhoone http://ficlets.com/authors/cavalrycalhoone <p>I love everything about this! Quality writing, great idea, deft execution of a fantastic twist. I&#8217;m running out of adjectives. The tension in the beginning grabbed me right away, and the transition to D&#38;D was seamless&#8212;and something an old nerd like me had no trouble relating to. First place, and then some! Thanks so much for entering my challenge, I&#8217;m honored to have elicited a work like this.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/14771?basename=26413 2007-12-03T19:04:56Z uselessness http://ficlets.com/authors/uselessness <p>Okay, that was awesome. I don&#8217;t play D&#38;D (although I probably would if someone taught me how, so it&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m out of the geek loop here), and that was a great ending. :)</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/14771?basename=25915 2007-11-30T18:00:16Z pie_is_good http://ficlets.com/authors/pie_is_good <p>i luv the title!!
