The Return of ***RAY OF FROST***
Another gaming story from my Wednesday game.
As mentioned before, there was wackiness with one of my sorcerer's semi-sentient spells. There was further wackiness last week.
There I was, adventuring along, killing things & minding my own business, when suddenly my character disappears with a puff of cold. *pop!* My party is perplexed.
Zayante appears in a small room. The room has has pillars of ice & fire, some mage-looking guy with a staff shouting "Destroy them, my minion!", and a bunch of ogres. I have been, apparently, summoned. Like a common badger! The indignity! However, destroying the ogres does seem like a good idea, so Z. fireballs the grr out of them, then tries to ask the guy what the heck is going on. However, she goes *poof* once again, and ends up right back where she was. However, RAY OF FROST has returned, suppressing poor Little Ray.
I am perplexed. However, the arrogant RAY does deign to explain that THERE IS A COST FOR CASTING RAY OF FROST, YOU FOOL!!! It seems that RAY is actually a much higher level spell, which is supposed to be living in a staff. Somehow, it managed to jump into Z's head, suppressing Little Ray. Why? Well, sorcerer heads are more interesting than sticks, apparently. Every time she casts RAY, she will be summoned the next time the staff owner uses a summon monster spell from the staff.
All this was determined by a whole bunch of talking to myself.
Not to worry, I have a plan.
In other cheezstk DnD news (in one of my Sunday games), my rogue has determined that he will need to beg, borrow or steal enough to obtain a permanent dingus of Death Ward.
Bodaks suck. Just for the record.
