THE HIGH TABLE

22:57 Blubber_Whale: After the desolation and big sky and long vistas of that marsh the city ahead looks more inviting. But when  i arrive it seems like the marsh is a scene of desolation. Ruined buildings and bones of men strewn around. Many look as if they were eaten by something and the bones discarded.

22:59 Blubber_Whale: Then this sorcerer reappears tell us about two paths then disappears as if by magic ! Great what about getting me out of here !

23:00 Blubber_Whale: Neither route sounds great but I am wide whilst the corridor isn’t so I go into the hall.

23:00 Blubber_Whale:

  

23:05 Blubber_Whale: Heads on the walls carved and should be lifeless but their follow me. Looking up at them when I spot movement in centre of hall. Rising my from the solid stone floor is an armoured man, who starts advancing menacingly towards me. Instinctively I back away but trip on a raised flagstone falling onto my butt which allows the armoured man to approach. He raises hand to strike my head as I try to grab his legs to pull him down

23:05 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚂ 3 + ⚁ 2 = 5

23:06 Blubber_Whale: I fail to grab his legs while he slam a fist on my skull dazing me.

23:07 Blubber_Whale: I lose 3 less 2 is 1 so I am on 17 now

23:08 Blubber_Whale: I see the man try to hit me again on the head. Trying to block his attack this time with one hand as I try to pull him down with the other

23:09 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚁ 2 + ⚅ 6 = 8

23:11 Blubber_Whale: This time I am successful pulling the man down on to the floor where I slam my own fists on his head

23:12 Blubber_Whale: He suffers 2 less 0 is 2 damage points so he is on 12.

23:13 Blubber_Whale: Although he is armoured I am very heavy so once on the ground I try to just steamroller over him from head to knee to crush him

23:13 Blubber_Whale:

23:14 Blubber_Whale: Using my belly as a weapon

23:14 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚀ 1 + ⚁ 2 = 3

23:17 Blubber_Whale: This is a miscalculation as he incurs no damage. Instead his armoured body injures me as I feel its rough plating tear my skin as i press onto it and he is able to slam huge fists and forearms into my back and belly

23:19 Blubber_Whale: I lose 5 less 2 is 3 - leaving me on 14.

23:20 Blubber_Whale: Rolling off I decide to use my weight mire effectively by trampling on the chest of the man. Full 530 lb on him. Surely this will be felt

23:20 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚄ 5 + ⚂ 3 = 8

23:22 Blubber_Whale: This time I see the man thrash arms around and hear him groan so i know I am hurting him

23:23 Blubber_Whale: Reducing his points by 5 less 3 so another 2 lost - he is now at 10.

23:23 Blubber_Whale: As this seems successful and non energy draining for me I continue the trampling

23:24 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚅ 6 + ⚀ 1 = 7

23:25 Blubber_Whale: This is clearly having an effect as he thrashes his arm around even more legs kicking. I feel his rib cage start to crack

23:28 Blubber_Whale: Another 6 less 5 plus 2 is 3 life points lost as I continue to crush - he is down to 7

23:31 Blubber_Whale: He is screaming loudly now. Moving my foot so it is over his throat as I try to finish him quickly before anything else arrives

23:31 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚁ 2 + ⚃ 4 = 6

23:34 Blubber_Whale: Moving my foot was big best idea as that reduces my ability to crush his chest and make me vulnerable to falling so a stalemate

23:35 Blubber_Whale: I return other foot back to his chest hoping he hadn’t recovered too much

23:35 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚂ 3 + ⚁ 2 = 5

23:36 Blubber_Whale: He had recovered grabbing my leg gauging it with is fingernails as I yell in pain

23:37 Blubber_Whale: I lose 3 less 2 is 1 so I am on 13

23:38 Blubber_Whale: I get off him blood flowing down my leg then kick him in the head three times. Considering face sitting him to ko

23:38 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚃ 4 + ⚂ 3 = 7

23:39 Blubber_Whale: My kicks make his brain rattle in his skull

23:40 Blubber_Whale: His hit points down to 4 less 3 is 1 so another point lost. He is now on 6.

23:40 Blubber_Whale: Lowering my huge butt over his face

23:40 Blubber_Whale:  

23:42 Blubber_Whale: Engulfing his whole head as I place my feet on his arms so he can’t escape. Hoping to finish him quickly as he has no air supply getting in

23:42 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚁ 2 + ⚅ 6 = 8

23:43 Blubber_Whale: Hid legs kicking again but I see his legs starting to kick less and less                                              

23:47 Blubber_Whale: Losing another 2 less 0 is 2 points leaving him on 4

23:48 Blubber_Whale: This tactic seems to be working as I sit there like a huge Buddha on this throne not moving feeling the man struggled lessen more

23:48 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚅ 6 + ⚁ 2 = 8

23:50 Blubber_Whale: Suddenly he stops moving.

23:51 Blubber_Whale: Huge damage of 6 less 4 plus 2 is 4

23:52 Blubber_Whale: Rendering him unconscious. I continue to sit there as I need to make sure he is dead

23:52 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚂ 3 + ⚁ 2 = 5

23:53 Blubber_Whale: No movement from the man

23:54 Blubber_Whale: He can’t fight back he can’t respond ! A huge sigh is heard in the hall. I see him fading away as I end up in my butt on the cold stone floor

23:56 Blubber_Whale: Hauling myself up I find a ledge to sit on to revive. Regaining 3 points up to 16

23:58 Blubber_Whale: As I sit there I feel the ground shake, I hear the thud of something very heavy. I cannot see it till it close by

00:03 Blubber_Whale: It is the biggest bellied beast I have ever seen ! It appears to be made from solid rock. Tall maybe over 15 feet with an immense belly and huge thighs

00:06 Blubber_Whale:

00:08 Blubber_Whale: It is clear from the gurgling in the huge belly that his last meal is still digesting. He looks hungrily at me.

00:09 Blubber_Whale: Suddenly i realise who left all those bleached bones !!

00:11 Blubber_Whale: Lumbering towards me every movement shaking the hall. 

00:11 Blubber_Whale:

00:11 Blubber_Whale: It is so immense maybe over 3000 lb with a colossal belly that my own huge belly would be useless against its belly so I try to get around it hoping it is even less agile than me

00:12 Blubber_Whale:

00:12 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚂ 3 + ⚂ 3 = 6

00:13 Blubber_Whale: As I try to move to the side and escape the huge beast turns so we are face to face again. I see it grinning licking its lips

00:14 Blubber_Whale: Moving forwards again our bellies almost touching then it tries to slam onto me

00:14 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚄ 5 + ⚂ 3 = 8

00:16 Blubber_Whale: I lower my body as it tries to slam me and push forwards too so my whole weight slams into its right thigh

00:17 Blubber_Whale: 530 lb hitting the thigh forcing the huge beast to stumble slightly

00:17 Blubber_Whale: 

00:18 Blubber_Whale: Causing 5 less 3 is 2 damage so it is on 15

00:19 Blubber_Whale: However this brings me close up against its huge bulk. Allowing it to rain blows down onto my back as i cling onto that thigh to try to force it over

00:19 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚁ 2 + ⚅ 6 = 8

00:21 Blubber_Whale: My tactic working as the huge beast is struggling to stay on feet as I push thigh. It stops hitting me to try to steady itself as I get closer to toppling it

00:22 Blubber_Whale: 2 less 0 is 2 further points lost so it is on 13

00:23 Blubber_Whale: I give a huge push with all my weight and power to get it over if I can

00:23 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚅ 6 + ⚄ 5 = 11

00:26 Blubber_Whale: BOOM !!!! It feels like an earthquake as the huge beast falls backwards landing heavily on the stone floor. Creating a huge crater in the floor where it fell. Parts of the hall walls collapsing with the heads falling to the floor and smashing

00:26 Blubber_Whale:

00:27 Blubber_Whale: I am holding thigh still so I land on the fallen giant adding even more damage

00:28 Blubber_Whale: Huge damage of 6 less 1 add 2 is 7 massive points lost. It is now on just 6.

00:29 Blubber_Whale: On the ground belly up the massive beast looks immobile. 

00:29 Blubber_Whale:

00:30 Blubber_Whale: Knowing i can’t let it get back up I move to its head and perform same move as earlier

00:30 Blubber_Whale: Lowering my huge butt over its face to try to suffocate it to death. Holding its arms down with my feet

00:31 Blubber_Whale: My considerable weight helping that vast bulk from getting up

00:31 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚅ 6 + ⚃ 4 = 10

00:33 Blubber_Whale: It is struggling violently its huge thighs kicking but I valiantly keep my arse over its face to deny it air. Letting out a noxious fart to help suffocate it

00:34 Blubber_Whale: I feel monster weakens as it needs loads of air

00:35 Blubber_Whale: Massive damage of 6 less 4 add 2 is 4. Monster down to just 2 points

00:37 Blubber_Whale: Surely this is it as monsters legs move less and less. Its struggles almost over.

00:37 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚀ 1 + ⚁ 2 = 3

00:39 Blubber_Whale: Maybe I was overconfident maybe I lifted too soon as I feel myself get lifted up and thrown off the monster. I smash into the wall at huge force injuring my belly and chest and legs.

00:42 Blubber_Whale: I suffer huge damage of 5 less 2 is 3. Leaving me on 13

00:43 Blubber_Whale: Trying to get up as monster recovers as I see a chance to escape. But as I get up i feel my legs buckle. Trying to get past it to the doorway

00:44 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚃ 4 + ⚀ 1 = 5

00:46 Blubber_Whale: My leg has been injured and I am limping. Floor is cracked and uneven from impact of the giant. I trip just by the monster landing on my huge belly

00:46 Blubber_Whale:

00:47 Blubber_Whale: Taking 2 less 1 damage points so I am on 12

00:48 Blubber_Whale: Crawling towards door, each movement appallingly painful

00:48 Blubber_Whale: I feel monster stirring

00:48 Blubber_Whale: 

00:49 Blubber_Whale: !dice 2d6
Roll the dice... ⚃ 4 + ⚃ 4 = 8

00:51 Blubber_Whale: I have to finish it off. Hauling my bulk over it Laying my huge belly over its face completely cutting off the air from its lungs

00:51 Blubber_Whale: 

00:51 Blubber_Whale: 4 less 2 is 2 leaving monster on zero

00:53 Blubber_Whale: Monster is not moving so I assume it is dead or at least ko. Crawling to that far wall as I rest to recover

00:59 Blubber_Whale:   

01:00 Blubber_Whale: Regaining three hit points so up to 15. 

01:03 Blubber_Whale: Exhausted. I know i have been very lucky to survive.

01:04 Blubber_Whale: I could have easily ended up as a quarter ton meal in the massive belly of the monster
