(By the way combat music)

We don't have a healer yet and Marin has way too few HP to be taking any hits so if you're not already in the back row get there other wise just drop a couple Poison Gusts. Kero go ahead and put an Anointing Ward on Martin and wait to see this things damage output before deciding whether to use another one this fight on yourself or not.

Martin cast Poison Gust Huge Scorpion takes 26 damage!
Kero blessed Martin with [b] Anointing Ward
Martin's defense increased
Huge Scorpion scratches Kero with its claw
Kero takes 2 damage

Ugh you better keep back Martin
Why? That thing merely scratched you.
I've got a heavy divine blessing on me, what about you?
Oh

Next Round's Tactics?

Kero: Show him your stabs.
Martin: Scalding Spark. We should test to see which is more effective, for future reference in our COMPENDIUM OF MONSTERS.

Do the damaging status effects stack with themselves? In either case, we should try the burning one.

I don't think the Wind spell actually applied the poison this round. It's only a chance each time, and I think wind is still going to be more effective against a desert creature than fire.

My vote goes for using wind again, and showing it all the stabs.

Quick, do a barrel roll!

Don't look at me, I'm a sorcerer I don't do acrobatics.

Next Round Tactics?

Okay continue to poison gust and stab it until either it dies, Kero falls below 10 health when he'll want to use a potion, Martin takes a hit so we can figure out when he should quaff potions, or the scorpion does something different.

Oh noes, FIRE isn't very useful in a DESERT. Who would have guessed that such a thing might be true?

Yeah, stabs and Air attacks.

>>483338
It had to be tested. For science.

>>483336
This, pretty much.

I was thinking that Poison would not be effective against a creature which is often poisonous, but apparently not.

Well that was a nice distraction. What now?
I can see one of the Jackal tribe cities in the distance over there. But what do you recommend?

It would be dangerous to let ourselves get kidnapped until we've completed our initial investigation so we should disguise you two as women so neither of you get stolen up in the night.

>>483361
Obviously we're using Crawl logic here. All the bugs have rPois-.

>What now?
Grind scorpions for the next ten hours or so.

No.
But the Jackals revere wome-
No, I don't have much pride as a man so I'm not giving up what little I have.
Well it looks like that idea won't work.

>>483366 Grind scorpions for the next ten hours or so.
Huh? I don't know what you're thinking but grinding up the scorpion utterly ruins their venom sacs and contaminates the distillation process.
I think they're talking about a different meaning.
Anyway, I think we should just ask around in the city. I mean we're not likely to be assaulted in the streets or else it would be more than likely that a war would start over that.
Then what questions do you want us to ask the people in the city?

Fine let someone sneak into your window and run off with you in the middle of the night. Martin can attest to how easy it is to catch you unaware in your sleep. As for questions, we should look into the buildings previous victims were taken from see how they're getting in and see what general region the abductors are operating in.

Fine, but you're doing night watches. Check the state of the city first, and ask around for quests, act like any other templar/adventurer passing through. Don't seem suspicious.

Well it's a normal regular Jackal tribe city, there doesn't seem to be any fear of strangers here.
While there are very few people on the street I say it has to do with the heat.

Ugh I'm not that helpless you know.
It's a bit strange, I don't feel hostility but more of curiosity..., the unnerving kind, who should we ask questions?

Maybe you should look behind you?

Avoid openly looking at the guy behind you unless he gets closer. You should just ask around for quest stuff like normal, stay a night in the inn, then ambush the guys who will probably try to kidnap you.

>>484092
Reverse ambush!

>>484183 Reverse ambush!
That sounds like a great idea!
We are in an inn. There's an innkeeper here, but what sort of questions do we ask him? Besides what's up?
Jackal Innkeeper-Adventurers? Do you wish to purchase rooming?
Yes but tell us has there been anything unusual happening around these parts?
Jackal Innkeeper- Well yes, scorpions have been getting larger for the past few months, and strange people have been sighted wandering the sands. The desert has been showing signs of mortal sacrifice mostly from areas surrounding the desert. It's gotten so bad that the tribes are abducting everyone else for their own safety.

Secret mortal sacrifices? That sounds acts of like HERESY to me. Ask where these things were sighted, and if there is enough time left in the day we should head out there to investigate.

I don't think I trust the tribes to be uninvolved in this, but it would be foolish to say so right now. We should still go through the plan to confront the abductors if we have not found a better lead before then.

So where have these sacrifices been?
Jackal Innkeep- They're usually found... after the fact. That's mainly the reason why the tribes are doing preemptive abductions. There are very few signs to tell who is next on these sacrificial attacks.
One room for two please
Jackal Innkeep- That will be 50 coins.
-50 Coins
450 Coins left

So all you questers, there is enough time to go on searching around the desert but there's the risk that it will be dark by the time we finish the day's search.
I'd say that we should take the time to rest after all those blasted searing days.
Still standing around won't help but what do you think we should do?

You should ask around town for more info on the heretical sacrifices.

Searching around the desert without a specific location in mind sounds unlikely to help much. Resting a bit and looking around town until nightfall sounds like a decent plan.

Yeah, it'll be better if we're fully rested before tackling gathering information.
Fine, we'll take a short break but then we're going to get to the bottom of this.

Ohh yeah, I hate how they pool around your feet so your always a moment away from tripping into a perfect face-plant.

Why are you wearing one, anyway? Everyone knows elaborate hats are much better overlord attire.

Nah it's a Corgi this time, though nothing has hinted at him being undead and he hasn't done much crying since we meet him. So how did you get here? We were lead to believe this is another dimension.

It looks like you have been doing pretty well for yourself this universe, long cloaks aside.
I hear you are involved in some sort of gnome war?

>save state copying
You are fortunate to not be a tree that eats wagon meat.

So why do you have a 'Darth' title? Have you taken up choking incompetent underlings as a hobby?
