Naked time!

So, is Neb going to pull down the curtain as a makeshift robe, or what?

on the bright side it often seems like being the dude in a loincloth is rarely a handicap in these kinds of situations

New rule: no spitting on baby jellysnakefrogs

Now I'm not too savvy on lovecraft lore, but in Conan when you untie a mostly nude woman from a wizard's tower it's a good thing.

So we gonna go down to the depths and murderize those dudes (and maybe awaken a dread horror in the process)?

I'll let that sink in and give people a chance to respond.

I hope so, my character is in a quantum state until everyone else arrives at the scene.

Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

new policy: Kill all women we meet, they are evil harlots made of snakes.

the lamia seems a higher priority target than the guards, perhaps you can try ganging up on her in one turn before the guards make it to you.

Sorry for the delay on my part. I think we're waiting on the other two.

Maybe a quick map would help out w/r/t where the lamia, the guards, Catsushi, and the PC's are.

So the she-lion that's got Taotie by the throat, is she able to do like critical coup de gras bite if I continue to grapple, or is it a "regular attack vs pinned (but not helpless) opponent" so I'd be taking damage but not an instant death attack?

Ok, so what is going on with Kamoses? So far as I can tell, if it was hypnotism, he should have been released as soon as she was pulled into a war of souls, and supposedly it's difficult to hypnotize sorcerers anyway. If it's a war of souls...then Neb fucked me by joining in because I now have two sorcerers actually trained in hypnosis I have to beat.

What can I actually do?

Well, man, I figured it was the two of us versus her, at the least, and she can only drain one of us at a time. My dude isn't trained in hypnotism(it would be next, since serpent magic is basically nature/hypnotism), so if AH is using the conan bestiary the lamia is +6-8 or so on either of us. The main thing we're providing at the moment is a chance to hit the lamia while she can't move/threaten/dodge/parry/cast spells.

Unfortunately, being in a war of souls is probably the most useless thing Kamoses could be doing right now, second only to taking a piss.

Oh, crap, ha, she does. Well, I guess Neb is throwing points away, and Kamoses is dominated, then.

Just waiting to see if Whipstitch does anything different, I think - unless someone wants to change their action.
