BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

I attack .... I mean kill the first grid bug. Doing 3 points of damage with a +0 dagger.

Remaining Monsters:
2 Grid Bugs (3 HP, 1d1)
1 Newt (6 HP, 1d2)

The grid bug tries to attack lilomar from beyond the grave but fails due to lilomar’s armor.

Point of order: If a monster doesn’t exist, can it still fight? The rules say that a monster’s hp drops, and they cease to exist if it goes below 1 WHEN the @ fights it. They also say that a monster fights back AFTER the @ fights it.

I assumed that a non-existent monster couldn’t fight, no matter what.

I attack a grid bug, doing 2 points of damage with a +0 dagger - it (let’s call this one Ken) has 1 HP left. Come on Ken, give me your best shot.

Can I have a wiki log-in account please? I want to change my inventory.

Okay, I’m giving Freezerbird a wiki account. Then I’ll make “Ken” attack him.

lilomar: Ah, okay, I had misread the rules.

(Oh, I’ll need Freezerbird’s email address.)

So you can’t attack with melee until after 24 hours?

Er… yes. Damnit, I had forgotten about that.

ALL MONSTERS STILL EXIST, EVERYONE.

well the daggers used are both ranged and melee weapons. So they are fine.

Ah, never mind, hadn’t noticed that daggers were used.

Remaining Monsters:
1 Grid Bug (3 HP, 1d1)
1 Grid Bug (1 HP, 1d1)
1 Newt (6 HP, 1d2)

I would also like a wiki account, please.  Or I could hide it under my uncursed cloak of invisibility.

It being my inventory.

I need your email address.

I attack the 1 HP Grid Bug (Ken), throwing a dagger at him.

I do 2 HP damage, ending Ken. He has -1 HP for those keeping track at home.

Bye, Ken.

I attack the last Grid Bug, hereby dubbed Squishy, dealing it 2 points of damage. Squishy has 1 hp left.

And I used a dagger, to avoid confusing DC again.

I attack Squishy with another dagger. And do 3 damage. (crap. I’m going to use up all my 3’s. Do GNDT DICE have the same metaphysical rules as physical dice?)

Squishy is dead at -2 HP.

Remaining Monsters:
1 Newt. (6 HP, 1d2)

I attack Newt the newt with my +1 longsword for 1d12+1 damage (Result: 8+1=9).

It has -3 HP remaining.  On counterattack, because of my +3 small shield, it will reduce my HP by 1d2-3 (a negative number), but to no effect, since I am already at my MaxHP.

I try to attack the Newt for 5 but get ninja’d by Hix.
