It seems that a telga orek does strange things to certain spell messaging due to its body type. I notice it on the Devitalize spell in particular, but I'm not sure if it's a spell thing or a creature thing. Basically it tries to use "gelatinous" as a noun on some of the critical hits:


>cast
You clench your fist and mutter a whispered invection against the telga orek.
With a noise reminiscent of an old groaning oak, a roiling mass of frenzied green and blue energy forms into being, streaking towards the telga orek!
The mass of blue-green energy wraps around its head, wild tendrils of energy flailing in several directions. When it passes, the outside of its body is ringed by a thin covering of ice where flesh, sinew, and gelatinous used to be.
A telga orek slowly falls apart into a gelatinous mass until it turns into a pile of hundreds of eyes surrounded by a black, gelatinous ichor.
Roundtime: 1 sec.

The roiling mass strikes its body, absorbing itself into the body. Suddenly, its body contorts and spasms as it partially collapses in on itself, bits of flesh and gelatinous falling off and covered on the inside with ice.

In addition, their special attack does this strange thing every once in a while:


A telga orek suddenly lashes its body at , trying to trap I in its eye-covered netting!
manages to get out of the way in time, the viscous netting going wide.

Likely the spell's damage messaging. Can you please submit a bug report in game and mention the spell name, creature, and the messaging where the typo is so this post doesn't get lost before we can dig into it?

Bug report submitted. On further investigation, it looks like it's replacing the word "bone" with "gelatinous". If it just used "gelatin" instead I suppose that would work.

These ones are definitely the creature though. In some (but not all) of it's wound messaging when LOOKing at it, "gelatinous" is misspelled as "gelatnious".


You see a telga orek.
The telga orek has a few holes in it along with minor cuts along its gelatnious eye-covered body.
It is wearing nothing!
It is carrying nothing!

The GM that investigated found that there was an issue with the way we were handling building the messaging string, so it was likely happening to several creatures, but we believe we have a fix inbound.

Yeah I think I saw it throw "thud" in there against a granite gargoyle. That was pretty amusing. Thanks for looking into it!

<<we believe we have a fix inbound.>>

Was this supposed to have been implemented? If it has, I suspect you'll probably want to know that it hasn't been successful; I'm still seeing the gelatinous thing. If it hasn't gone in yet, then nevermind!
