This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
I think my character needs to go to a larger city where he has a better chance of hiring a henchman oncologist. On the bright side, maybe if I have to lose a limb from the mortal wounds table it could be the cancerous one effectively removing the diseased tissue.
ReplyDeleteWe'd have to roll randomly to see if it spread to the PC's lymph nodes.
ReplyDeleteThis is the most morbid joke I've made in a long time.
Per henchman oncologist's instructions: if you take small doses of giant centipede venom twice a day for a week, there is a 20% chance the cancer will go into remission. This process may be repeated; however, the usual effects of giant centipede venom remain in effect, and there is a cumulative 5% chance per week of treatment that the venom will subtract 1d8 weeks from the character's remaining time.
