You need to try to cast a very high level one, fail it, and then fail to contain the runaway magic. I haven't even had a chance to use the most gruesome parts of my runaway magic table yet!!

Anyone have a link to the post with the original Mauve character sketch? I'm on a different computer and had to download them again. Found them all, including Aqua Mauve, but I can't find the non-fishdemon-Mauve.

For some reason, when I loaded the pic of Mauve, my whole graphics program crashed. Most of the map was saved, luckily. Give me a few minutes. The Mauve Avatar must have been out of mana.

I just figured that in our case she'd toss it straight at the singer. Whatever tune everyone else is hearing, I'm fairly confident it isn't the 1812 Overture… the sudden addition of percussion would stand a good chance of messing with it, even if it didn't stop her from singing altogether. Also, it's hard to carry a tune properly when you're deafened.… ;)

Omg! It's good to hear you wasn't forced to redo the map from scratch.

She's jinxed, don't forget it, writing her very name is hazardous! When she succeeds at something, the rest of the party fails. Always save before dealing with something related to her.


@Ravana
The problem of aiming at the singer is that it could be close enough to damage our party members too. It's not only damage—might stun as well if I remember it right.

I've been dying to quote Ripley ever since I anticipated the possibility that the shaman would get close to Burnbright.

I was tempted to suplex just now, but I know charge+sword+STR to stun actually works so no screwing around! And 28! That was a good STR roll. Not like those consecutive 10s (natural 1s) I rolled for STR and CON when most of the party wasn't looking.

And speaking of STR, we have an unarmed barbarian also capable of rolling up to a 28, and he can reach either harpy. Looking forward to Algy's next move!

Correct (including the part about wanting to deafen the party). And in case the rope trick seems to "easily" shut up the singing harpy, no this was not easy at all! Here are ALL the things that had to actually go right in order for Mauve to do that rope trick:


  1. Fail a STR check to overpower Baldhart
  2. Successfully cast Sonic Boom as shown in Nihal's diagram
  3. Succeed at a DEX check to avoid full damage – 6 damage from her attack, Mauve has 5 HP, she still took half damage, BUT note that she had to…
  4. …be close enough to her own attack to become partially deaf
  5. Successfully cast Magic Hands
  6. The GM makes a generous interpretation of a successful STR check

As usual, it isn't quite what you might have expected. Though part of that is because both the harpies are now grounded and surrounded by party members, making throwing hammers a bit trickier.

Both the harpies we're aware of, at least.

Figure if the rest of the A-Team (Aliron and Ankari) get in trouble, he'll join them next round.

Figure no harpy's going to be charming anyone with those lyrics. :p

Whether the singing does any actual good or not may be another story. But who knows? Might provide a little hate-based morale boost to the recently charmed. I'm just hoping that the other figures up on the ledge are their trophy collection or something. Otherwise, we might be in serious trouble.

Going to have to get going soon, and I won't be back online until tonight. We're not at the 24 hour mark, so I'm going to wait for people to have an opportunity to post. I'm not even sure if Keit is standing or unconscious after taking 6 hp :)

Actually, under our MAX starting HP rule, she has to be still standing. So we'll give her and Batos a chance to do something :)
