Episode Number: (TG406)
Original Airdate: 2/2002
The body-switching proves to have consequences, as battles erupt and the party is less than entirely effective. Among the bad guys on the scene are a half-blue-dragon frost giant, a half-dragon kobold, goblin, and satyr, the men in red who feebleminded Timus, an evil druid, and a bunch of angry dwarves going after "Torian Kel" aka Tierney. Oh, and Aldea has sort of stolen a magical artifact that the half-dragons were trying to steal.
No real new information, although there were a lot of VERY WELL DESCRIBED floats.
Comedy episode, comedy episode!
The men in red?
Okay, so they're somewhat ineffectual. And then they held Tierney and summoned a fiendish rhinoceros. So give them a break.
About Brel's Song
Sorry. You drive an hour and ten minutes to and from karate, you get bored. Parody lyrics happen.
AAAAAAAAH! Die you vampire bitch! Die die die!
(fumbles with attack, losing grip on weapon)
Oh, shit.
Patrick, you do know that all this mind-switching or body-switching or soul-switching or whatever is going to make it a royal pain in the arse when we have to deal with things like, oh, party death, level drain...little things that you don't expect when your elven vampire suddenly reveals he has about 20 more monk levels than we originally thought.
Gryffid knows how to break other people's weapons effectively. Aldamar could take advantage of it, given that he is in Gryff's body. (For the sake of argument, we will ignore the critical fumble of a few rounds ago.) So sundering that quarterstaff, which seems to average over 40 points of damage per round, would probably slow down Brel's attacks. (Assuming it can be sundered.)
And open up the party to level drain, instantly.
Let's see. We can take a fast, ferocious beating, or we can slow down the beating and prolong the pain. And become tasty snacks in either case!
See, if I were a specialist in Divination, I would know exactly how screwed we are, in either situation. But since I'm not, I'm just going to resolve this as a question of how much lubricant is (not) involved.
Dave: Wait, who are these guys?
Pat: They're the ones who turned Timus into TIMMEH!
(Note: Line originally conceived by Pat's wife, who complains that he never gives her credit when he steals her lines)
Patrick: I don't remember what I did last night. It musta been goooood.
Tony: Look, a dwarf with wings!
Dave: It's highly absorbent!
(Tony elbows Dave)
Patrick: Timus and his sister are evil dragons who are trying to find a powerful magical artifact.
Geordan: Which is made of pizza.
Patrick: Trying to come up with Dungeons and Dragons-themed parade floats...harder than it sounds.
Dave: The entire thing is this huge beautiful Boris Vallejo montage.
Dave: You have to roll a loin check?
Geordan: Whoa! Failed my loin check!
Dave: Ignore my Bright Blade.
Patrick: But it's a holy symbol!
Arlemis (in Tierney's body): Let's try and find the others. Emcee: Why? Wackiness isn't ensuing, is it?
Patrick: What are you talking about? Ripping off the plot of Buffy would be lame! (pauses briefly, reconsiders) None of you can watch Buffy.
Patrick: I think Emcee was prepared for a lot of things for the bad guys. A fiendish rhinoceros was not one of them. Rhinoceros, little bat wings...
(A half-dragon frost giant is revealed)
Patrick: Timus is pondering for a moment what a blue dragon and a frost giant would see in each other.
