ROUND 5
Initiative: Party 6!, Squishies 2
A lucky break for the party!
Shadow loses his arc welder but draws his flail and attacks an unlucky toad. [4+2=6] He splatters the squishy thing and now 45 of the toads remain.
Breath and Minion stab at MOR with their arc welders [1d6+2=8!!!]
The giant toad suffers [1d10=5; 2d8=8] 8 hit points of neon energy damage and is slain! MOR bursts open, splattering all with gore (except Fated to Die who is cowering under Pack Slave's body).
Supervisor Whitman shouts with victory and turns his attention to the swarm of squishy toads. He attacks as 4 men [5, 5, 2, 5] and hits 3 times for 2 dice of damage each, killing 6 more of the toad-spawn in a blast of neon light!
The garage door bursts open and the ROVERZOID crashes into the mass of toad-spawn! [It kills 1 die of toads: 1d10=10!; 1d12=12!] It crushes 6 of the toads under its metal treads, and its turret sprays a wide swath of gamma radiation that instantly evaporates another 6!
27 toad spawn remain and they fight mindlessly to their death!
Minion is struck for 1d10=7, 1d10=5hp damage and reduced to 1 hp! Shadow is struck for 1d10=8, 1d10=10hp damage and is crushed beneath a writhing mass of toad-spawn at -6 hit points!
Health check:
Supervisor Whitman: 11 Breath: 4 Minion: 1 Fated: [Cha check = 5] plays dead and is stable at 0hp. Shadow: -6 hit points Pack Slave: DECEASED B'Yakhee: unknown MOR: SLAIN Toad count: 27

The Shadow of Evermore's soul departs his body and begins its descent to the realms of eternal torment...
"NOT SO FAST!" calls a familiar voice... "GET BACK HERE!" Shadow is disoriented...
... now he finds himself in an alien and unfamiliar jungle. He is lying on his back in the mud, wind knocked from his lungs, looking up at the canopy of razor-sharp leaves and carnivorous vines. High above, a giant dragonfly and butterfly are locked in swooping, spiraling mortal combat.
"OATHBREAKER!" screams the Purple Stranger, slowly dragging himself toward you on shattered limbs. Blood and tooth-fragments spray from his mouth as he shouts: "YOUR SOUL IS MINE!"

The Shadow waits, regaining his senses and breath, until the Purple Stranger is closer.
"I cannot give you what I never had, purple man. My soul belongs to the Watery Depth. It is not mine to give. If you want it, you'll have to go take it yourself."
When he is within reach, The Shadow will grab for the Purple Stranger's gun, if it is visible, and use it on him.
If he does not see the gun visible, then he'll stand up before the Purple Stranger gets too close to him. And he'll kick the purple man in the head.
An ineffective round for the toads, disorganized without their leader.
But their stumbling dislodges the corpse of Pack Slave and [Cha check = 18] the jig is up for Fated to Die. He weakly shoos the toads away [3, 3, 5] but he cannot hold them off much longer!
Now the PCs. Breath and Minion roll 1 die each and miss only on a natural 1...
Breath rolls 3+2=5 and Minion rolls 5+2=7.
4 toads are slain by neon energy and 23 remain.
Supervisor Whitman attacks as 4 men [2, 1, 3, 6] but his arc welder's battery is spent! He hits 1 time but only for 1 die of non-neon damage, so 22 toads remain.
ROVERZOID is a toad-killing machine as its gamma turret vaporizes 5 toad-spawn! [1d10=5; 1d8=5]

Shadow [Con 11] has an 80% chance of surviving adversity and rolls a 41. He will have to roll again each round until his condition is stabilized.
As his mortal body faces almost certain destruction, the battle for his soul begins!
Shadow raises his hands to defend himself from the Purple Stranger but his bones are completely pulverized! His limbs flop and slosh about in the most uncoordinated motions. You might imagine this would be extremely painful, but the actual sensation is disorienting and cartoonish.
But the Purple Stranger is in not much better condition himself. He crawls toward you at about 1" movement rate, struggling to breathe--broken ribs, perhaps. Gone is his high-tech equipment; he drags himself near-naked through the muck and looks intent to tear you apart with his bare hands!
Noting the struggled breathing, The Shadow throws dirt in the Purple Stranger's face, attempting to increase his breathing difficulties.
He then attacks the Purple Stranger with the nearest weapon at hand he can grab.
Shadow attempts to throw dirt in the Purple Stranger's face, but his boneless hands have become abnormally moist! He accomplishes naught but a muddy palm and initiative is rolled: Shadow 1, Stranger 3. Both will attack/defend as Light Foot (Shadow having sloshed right out of his armor).
The Purple Stranger (rolled 4+1=5) and Shadow's Melting Soul (rolled 2+1=3) swat ineffectively at each other. The Stranger tries to apply a choke-hold but Shadow's neck slips through his fingers like jelly! Meanwhile Shadow's clumsy, ameboid blows do no more harm than gently-pounding ocean waves.
The situation appears to be a stalemate, with time running out...
Supervisor Whitman is overcome by the toads for 1d10=3, 2d6=6hp damage, reducing him to 5hp. But he retaliates using his powerless arc welder [6, 4, 6, 1] and kills 3 toads! 14 remain.
Breath rolls 6+2=8 and Minion rolls 5+2=7. 4 toads are slain by neon energy and 10 remain.
ROVERZOID crushes 3 toad-spawn under its treads and 7 remain! [1d10=2; 1d4=3]
Shadow of Evermore must roll under 80% to survive adversity... 75! He clings to life, just barely...
