Heroica RPG - Quest #114: The Tale of the Sea Fiend

[KotZ]

Kiray and those following her targeted the head of the beast from their respective rows. The Magpie leaveled its weapons on the head as well. Same battle order. "Bring it down!!"

[Actaeon]

Actually, can I drink a potion?

[CMP]

Round Five of Sea Fiend Smackdown

Magpie fires at Head - (40 - 10 = 30 damage)

Mizuki vs. Head - Lethal Hit Lethal Hit (36 - 10 = 26 x 2 = 52 damage)

The Magpie and the majority of the party takes on Kjorfalneire's head as Lane fires a round that blows its tail to pieces. Actaeon narrowly avoids its enormous, sword-like teeth as Kiray keeps her shield held high. Mizuki manages a few slashes along the side of its jaw, but it lashes forward, swallowing up the Magpie's captain and Reg. One of the crewmen is startled.

"Cap'm!!"

Lane stepped back next to Mizuki as he loaded his cannon.

"We're running out of people here."

[Tachyon]

"Right now, I think even if we all get swallowed, the cannons of this ship can take down the Sea Beast. But I still don't want to be swallowed and I'm sure neither do you."

Mizuki slices at the head twice, from the Front Row.

Red heals Mizuki

Acteon fires twice from the back row at the Head.

Captain Lane fires at the head from the Back Row

[CMP]

"Right now, I think even if we all get swallowed, the cannons of this ship can take down the Sea Beast."

"Dunno about that. Without us around to distract that thing, the Magpie won't stand a chance."

[Tachyon]

"Then we just gotta hope for the best and somehow survive this. Once we go down, there aint any chance of us getting back up until the fight's over.."

[KotZ]

"I'll gladly take suggestions, guys," Kiray nervously said.

[Tachyon]

"I can give the other guys Nostrums but it would still be tough taking down the Sea Beast."

[KotZ]

"Do what you think is best, Mizuki. We have a beast to take down." Kiray shouted a battle cry, trying to muster some courage. Same order, same actions.

[Tachyon]

Mizuki thought back to the time, she and her questmates had fought Haroka and his Inquistors. The party's cleric Nerwin had used a Rito feather after chanting some foreign words. Mizuki grabbed her pouch and pulled out her Rito Feather. Repeating the same words, Nerwen had incanted, Mizuki intoned. Cormamin lindua ele lle, Rito! Asca melloneamin! Vara tel'taurninin! Gurth gothrimlye!. A blue outline of Rito wings formed out of light appeared on Mizuki's back before dispersing.

Mizuki used a Rito Feather and used a Nostrum on Captain Lane.

Red did nothing

Captain Lane repeated.

Head vomits heroes back out - (Kjorfalneire no longer lucky)

The ship is pelted with rain as Mizuki dashes around Kjorfalneire's struggling head, slashing away at its face viciously. It lashes out at Lane and bites a chunk out of the Magpie - but a few more moments reveal there may be more of a problem with it than the heroes realize. A rumble that rattles the deck of the ship precedes Kjorfalneire vomiting an extensive amount of bile, seawater, and food items onto the ship - including the devoured party.

"...Ewwr...cap'm?"

Illdria got up to her feet.

"Don't ask. Let's just get this thing the hell off my ship."

Everyone, please choose an action. Party leader, please create a battle order. If the Magpie is destroyed, the Quest fails. The Magpie can deal damage equal to its level to one enemy each round. This does not prevent free hits.

[KotZ]

"Nobody attack!" Kiray ordered. "Let the Magpie finish it off, we won't have to worry about any of us being devoured."

The Magpie attacks the head. Same order.

[Captain Settle]

Francis does nothing but wipe some of the bile of his once beautiful outfit.

[Tachyon]

Mizuki was reluctant to follow Kiray's order. Afterall, several more attacks from her and the beast would quickly fall. Still, Mizuki repsected the fact that Kiray was assigned as the party leader. MIzuki and Lane did nothing.

[CMP]

Rounds Nine - Eleven of Sea Fiend Smackdown

Magpie fires at Head - (40 - 5 = 35 damage, Head KO'd)

The Magpie's crewmembers unload on Kjorfalneire's head. The monster tears chunks out of the deck, but ultimately succumbs to the hail of cannon fire brought down on it. The sea fiend thrashes once more, with a fierce, but hollow roar, that slowly dies out as the creature goes still, lying limp in a pool of blood. There's a few moments, where everyone is silent under the wailing wind and rain.

"Good. Only right my ship should finish this thing off. I'll get us out of this storm."

The captain returns to the helm.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!!!

Everyone gains double experience. The enemies drop a lot of stuff. Briar throws his Scroll into the pile, but Reg and his cohorts remove two bucket fulls of the fiend's fat and half the gold as their payment. Party leader, how will the loot be divided?

"Well done, everyone," Kiray said as she sheathed her weapons. She gave Fleuret and the loaded die back to Mizuki. "Thanks for these."

The knight looked at her party, "Does anyone want anything specific? I was looking at the mail since I'm the only one of us who can wear it."

[Captain Settle]

Francis gave the Shruiken and Top Hat back to Mizuki.

"There's nothing I specifically want."

[Tachyon]

"The tongue wouldn't be a bad memento to keep." Mizuki said as she took back her items."Just remember, we do have to split the loot with the wolfgang."
