Peter, you are obviously too nice to your PCs. If Onslaught
were to try this in my campaign I would have three responses ready
for him (which I would not necessarily reveal to him before he found
out the sad truth).
- You say your helm is immune to acid? But it has never
experienced acid of _this_ potency before. Guess what? (I might let
it stop the first 40 points or something.)
- Headbutting won't hurt a gorp, remember? You have to
kill it with magic. *dang*
- The gorp sends out a pseudopod to engulf Onslaught's
whole body. All your hit locations except your head take 80 points
of damage. Next round.
That said, in my own campaigns the characters are comparatively
low-level. The two highest ranking individuals are currently a weak
shaman and a wannabee Sword of Humakt (not yet achieved the lofty
status, but his sword attack is up to 85).
