Mmm.... the series of unfortunate events. Combination of a nasty monster with unknown abilities (Combat Reflexes, of all the random things), oodles of poor dice rolls, questionable tactics on the behalf of some PCs, and Ulsaon having about 20 HP to begin with. Tragic, but it happens.

On the bright side, there is hope that Ulsaon's replacement will be somewhat less parchment-HP-ed.

Also, unless I'm mistaken, bonus hitpoints don't work that way. They get removed first, and once the Evil Kitty (TM) shredded Andre, they got removed first and are out of play, and when the duration runs out there won't be any additional effect.

Well..... Kuzan did reach her in time, except it was decided at a Convocation of the Wisdom of the Group that it'd be a better idea to Tumble out of the way, rather than give the kitty-cat another chance at committing elf-i-cide.

Issue. Tumble check of 8, Advanced Revived Fossil Smilodon hit the Attack of Opportunity, and shredded Ulsaon. Ergo, we have another deceased Outlander.

Tarlyn was supposed to post his death scene last night, but I suppose I can sum it up in the next post.

Oh, also, Khalil is going to be on hiatus for a few days due to work-related issues, probably the next day or two, if I have my time zones right way up.

There are weird rules involving some sources of bonus HP. Some are "Ok, they're gone, but you're in your normal HP, so that's ok!" Others are "Muhahaha, we have gone away, and now you die! Have the you're dead prize!". I remember something about the Amulet being of the "Dead prize!" sort, but if i'm wrong, I'll be very happy.

The rules for temporary hp are pretty clear o-o The amulet grants temporary hp, and you always lose temporary hp before you lose real hp.

The "dead prize" hp, as you put it, come from sources like hp gained from temporary Con boosts.

Checking the MIC, Amulet of Tears just says you get temporary hit points, nothing about the "You're Dead" prize. So Andre should be fine, barring cosmic misfortune, even if it was so much more dramatic the other way.

Oh, well, phew, there's that.

As for who Tomas's diety might be, well, that's the question, isn't it? What storm/lightning themed diety would pick a Lamordian to be his or her sacred champion?

The one worshipped at the Monastery of the Quickening Spark, perhaps? Tomas's history of being subjected to mad surgery would then become a tad ... more ... Hey, now. o_o You're not secretly some kind of super flesh golem, are you?

Not your fault Tarlyn, or at least, certainly not *entirely* your fault.
