Surviving Castle Heterodyne: A wild update appears!
Sam cheerfully heads down the hallway that nearly claimed his life earlier, intent on disassembling the traps. He'd already thoroughly removed the spike that made him hallucinate, but he's stuck with the issue of how best to deal with the think brown residue coating the floor. It seems lightly thicker than before, as if it has dried slightly since it was sprayed all over him.
August and Charlie follow Sam in their ever-futile quest to keep him from hurting himself.
Ursula, having returned early from the fight, gets a fair bit of reading done.

Special Ability: Charge Me Up, Buttercup: When subject to electrical damage, Hieronymus may prevent 1d3 of that damage, storing charges equal to the damage prevented in his capacitors (maximum 6). Using his palm electrodes, he may release any number of stored charges into a target (via touch or a conductive weapon), dealing 1 DAM to the target for each charge released. He may instead use one charge to power the battery for his Electric Torch (once charged, torch will illuminate for a total of 6 turns). Charges may also be used to power appropriate devices or items. During his capture, his implants suffered some damage and as a result, anytime Hiero expends a charge, there is a 25% chance that it deals 1 DAM to him in addition to its other effects.

- Farm Animals - 25 CP, 2.5 SP in Learning, 1.5 SP in Zoology, and 1.5 SP in Butchering [Hiero][E,Z]
[tabs:Charlie]
ATT: 4 (25% to lose 1 HP next rd, 5% to block melee)
DEF: 3
DR: 2/ (electrical)
DP: 22/
In addition to ATT and DEF, Charlie also has damage reduction (DR) which negates the first two damage from any attack except one electrical in nature. Any damage dealt decreases his non replenishing pool of durability points (DP). As he becomes more damaged, every 5 DP that he drops, he will randomly decrease in either ATT, DEF or DR. At 0 DP, Charlie will be non functional. DP may only be regained by being repaired.
Items: (bold indicates items that are currently equipped)
- Long spear: +3 ATT, on hit has 25% chance to lose additional 1 HP next round, 5% chance to block melee attacks
