Ironworks Gaming Forum - Voodoo Dolls

I found this post that I did recently and I thought I would post it again. What can I say? I like these conversations between myself... I mean between my characters.

I remember the first time I found out what those dolls were for.

Dezmund: Are they dead? Good. Brumburg, I think our rat got sick when that zombie vomited. Can you do something for him?
Brumburg: Sure thing, Dezi.
Dezmund: Stop calling me that!! If he didn't know healing spells.... Lauren, can you tell me what the heck this thing is?
Lauren: It's a doll. Or action figure if you prefer.
Dezmund: I know that it looks like a doll, but what good is it?
Knarfling: Maybe the Zombie needed something to die with and couldn't find a teddy bear?
Lauren: ~snickers~
Dezmund: Can you identify it?
Lauren: It looks like a Voodoo Doll.
Knarfling: Who do?
Lauren: Voodoo.
Knarfling: Who do Voodoo?
Dezmund: Stop it!! Lauren what does a Voodu Doll do?
Lauren: It is a Voodoo Doll, not a Voodu Doll.
Dezmund: I don't care what it is called, what does it do??!!
Lauren: I don't know.
Knarfling: I have heard about those things. Point it at Dezi and then prick it in the leg with this dart. It is not good enough to be a weapon, but use it as a pin.
Lauren: Okay... like this?
Dezmund: Ouch!!!
Brumburg: What happened?
Dezmund: There was a sharp pain in my butt!
Knarfling: You are always complaining that we are pains in your butt. Lauren, do it again.
Dezmund: Ouch!! Don't do that.
Lauren: I didn't poke it this time. And the first time I poked it in the foot.
Knarfling: Oops.
Dezmund: Knarfling!!! You little rat!!!!
Lauren: ~waving doll~ No, Dezmund, don't kill him!.... oops. I think I used this on you.
Brumburg: At least we will find out what it does.
Dezmund: What!??? What did you do to me?? What does it do?
Lauren: It seems to throw a Minion's Curse spell. It keeps you from attacking.
Knarfling: That same curse I got hit with in the Crypt?
Lauren: Yes.
Knarfling: ~big grin~ Then he can't kill me?
Brumburg: Don't push it Knarfling.
Dezmund: It is working! I have tried to cut that rat to ribbions and I can't swing! Lucky for you! Now how do I get this spell off me?
Brumburg: This could be useful on some of our enemies.
Knarfling: We don't need a doll to curse our enemies. We have Dezi to curse at us. If he can't curse them, no doll.. sorry dezi.. action figure will curse them any more.
Brumburg: You have a point.
Knarfling: And besides. Who you gonna use it on? How do you curse a demon? Aren't they cursed already? Will that just make them stronger?
Lauren: Yeah. And can you imagine using it on a Jungle Lily and then find out too late that it didn't work?
Knarfling: Why didn't I think of that? Dezi, you can use the next one on a Jungle Lily. I will stay back a bit and see if it works.
Dezmund: Will you stop chatting and get this curse off me?? We could be attacked at any moment.
Brumburg: Promise you won't kill Knarfling?
Dezmund: I promise NOTHING!!
Brumburg: Too bad. This may take a while to exorcise it. We might even have to go back to town and pay the temple.
Dezmund: Okay, okay! I promise not to kill the rat.
Knarfling: How much exercise does he need? I could have him chase me for a couple of hours.
Dezmund: I didn't say anything about not maiming him! Not one word!
Brumburg: Knarfling, it is exorcise, not exercise. But be prepared to run anyway. I think I better remove the curse.
Knarfling: If you need me, I will be hiding in Shadow.

I don't even bother to pick them up any more. They aren't worth enough to make it worth it. And Dezmund is a little leary about the rest of the party picking them up. I am not sure why.
