      Oops, didn’t mean to reply here. :/

      But now that I’m here that is indeed one awesome expression Syr’s got there. Although the “flash bang pot device” has already been used. Not so sure it’s gonna work again. Assuming it is a flash and not a gang bang.

    I’m still trying to figure out how in the hell just landing on the ground from a(n admittedly) high jump cracks the ground. That’s either some shoddy-ass arena construction, or magic (like that ruby embedded in his navel) at work.

      To your P.S., of course, one must add “but not necessarily by your party.” In this case, I’m pretty sure that the party will be up to it, but that thunder-stomp attack is nasty. Let’s hope it has a long cool-down.

    Firstly: FOR SCIENCE! (Sorry… Girl Genius fan, had to do it)

    Secondly: Agreeing with Nicolas: The Cleric’s supposed to be the first one down, dammit, not the Druid. And in some cases… the Paladin. (I have the WORST luck with dodges/save rolls)

    Thirdly: No one told Frigg to be careful what she wishes for.

    Fourthly and most Epicly: I predict/pray for interruption from Payet who happens to be in the area (ALSO in that pit, but no one noticed/cared) Not so he can save them… so he can take all the damage.

      Fuck Best. The moment after Harki dies and all the other Savages start pouring into the pit would be an excellent opportunity for Byron to ‘zerk out, and if he doesn’t take it, I’MA START CHOPPING HEADS…MYSELF…because he’s a lameass berserker slash community organizer and probably will never do it. >_<
