Heroica RPG - Quest #134: The Sky Is Falling

[Dannylonglegs]

"Savato!" Shouted Sylph, dramatically striding forward, a hand raised pointing at the antagonistic druid. "What exactly are you planning on doing with that human?!"

[Asphalt]

I believe his intentions are clear Slyph. This fallen druid intends to sacrifice the maiden to the supposed dragon in the castle. By the Wanderer, drunken tavern minstrels can spin a more complex plot than this villain. All it is lacking f for Warlen to Scream, HAVE AT THE VARLOT!!! and the tableau would be complete. Let us end this farce. He has proven to be the villain of this tale, and he stands within our path. Let us remove him from it.

Vindsval's eye begin to darken and a green ring shows on their edges. He is beginning to lose his temper with this one.

[Dannylonglegs]

A sad throaty growl escaped Sylph's helmet. "I want to hear him say it." He snarled. "This is not Sylvania's way. We do not serve as supplicants to ancient polluted beasts of predation. We strive to heal the sicknesses of this world... not exacerbate them!"

[Asphalt]

Before his soul is offered to the Wanderer for judgment you shall hear him say many things I am certain.

Vindsval draws his Tin sai, and points at the fallen druid and his cult.

Ogo, Oro, Poe, these men you see before us would continue to defile the land and let this ancient wrym lay waste to your homes. What do you have to say about that? Would you continue to starve, or feast upon these who would see you die the death of cowards?

[Endgame]

"A d-dragon?! What?! T-they're going to-" the young woman tries to stammer out a terrified reply, not yet aware of her fate before now, before Savato kicks her down again.

Savato cruelly kicks the woman in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her, sending her to her knees. She gasps and pants.

"I said BE QUIET, you whore!" Savato inhaled. "That is not me being crass, she truly is a whore. I decided she was the best candidate for Lethauros jaws when I caught her setting out to dump the waste from the Brothel into Triad Park, one of the few places in Eubric still bountiful in greenery."

"The hell were you doing near a whorehouse, I wonder?" Miller sneers.

"Silence. We are known as Sylvania's thorn because we punish those who dare to tarnish Nature's beauty. You handle a rose wrong, you draw blood. Mistreat Olegaia in my presence, and you'll find that you'll have a very short future. t's that simple, heroes, really. I try to reasonable.... I try to give fair warning in my crusade to protect what I love. I can understand why you'd see mas the villain, but I can't let that stop my mission.

I have gone on pilgrimage to Ennon, heroes. I have stood beneath the shrine of the Dark Druid and crafted a helmet in his visage. I have stood in those sacred ruins, and crafted a staff from the fallen branches of the ancient oak there. And the Druid's power courses through it!"

Savato jams his staff into the stone, and pulls it out, huge, barbed vines stabbing out from the crack. The fissure rapidly continues, Vindsval having to quickly dodge the burst of spiky vines coming towards him. Moss tendrils begin to crawl up the druid's arm,a green glow emitting from the helm.

"Furthermore. Lethauros has every right to "disturb" this forest. He is a natural, vagrant, apex predator. What you call unnatural about the venerable dragon's presence is simply Sylvania's way, there is no denying that."

[Dannylonglegs]

Savato cruelly kicks the woman in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her, sending her to her knees. She gasps and pants.

A rumbling growl could be heard faintly beneath Sylph's well-worn Helmet.

"Your actions betray your hypocrisy. Only a human, arrogant and flawed... poluted... by self-love, would be so senselessly cruel to that trapped creature you Have captured. Only one who's altruism is tainted by scheming and narcissism would stoop this low. You are not a guardian of nature! You are a coward! You are not a villian... you are merely an imbecile in a costume dedicated to a cause too complex for your purile mind to understand.

"I have gone on pilgrimage to Ennon, heroes. I have stood beneath the shrine of the Dark Druid and crafted a helmet in his visage. I have stood in those sacred ruins, and crafted a staff from the fallen branches of the ancient oak there. And the Druid's power courses through it!"

Of course you would pretend some affinity for that ancient spirit... but you would be wrong to do so. The Dark Druid has been gone from those woods for a long, long time... his passing at the hand of Heroica long since forgotten by most... and that is for the best. The part he played in that ancient battle resulted in only more destruction... Destruction he would have loathed to see.

"Furthermore. Lethauros has every right to "disturb" this forest. He is a natural, vagrant, apex predator. What you call unnatural about the venerable dragon's presence is simply Sylvania's way, there is no denying that."

Sylvania's way is death to the old, and life to the young. Sylvania's way is that of Predator and Prey... but the senseless destruction wrought by this ancient leviathan of the sky is not her way. The introduction of such a mighty predator into an environment that cannot sustain it is the exact opposite of her way... it'it's what I've always sought to prevent... this dragon will destroy the forest more efficiently the humans will be able to for some time yet... and yet you pay fealty to it. You... you are not worthy of the title Druid."

"Why the hell are we even talking to this diseased bastard? He's obviously to crazy to listen to reason, and the longer we stand here talking the more time he has to goat at our inaction."

[The Chosen Minifigure]

All it is lacking for Warlen to Scream, HAVE AT THE VARLOT!!! and the tableau would be complete. Let us end this farce. He has proven to be the villain of this tale, and he stands within our path. Let us remove him from it.

Warlen grins.

"HAVE AT THE VARLOT!!!"

"Why the hell are we even talking to this diseased bastard? He's obviously to crazy to listen to reason, and the longer we stand here talking the more time he has to goat at our inaction."

I agree with Grumpy Dwarf.

[Kintobor]

Annienal seemed concerned at the thought of the Sylvanian's sacrificing the woman, and displayed a rare fit of determination.

"We are arguing with this man to potentially get him to not do something incredibly foolish, Throlar."

Annienal stays out of Sylph's tirade against Savato, but she takes mental notes of everything he says to the similarly garbed man. She became wary of both druids, and kept her hand on her sword's hilt.

Annienal seemed concerned at the thought of the Sylvanian's sacrificing the woman, and displayed a rare fit of determination.

"We are arguing with this man to potentially get him to not do something incredibly foolish, Throlar."

"Well then we are wasting our time. This man is insane, he's not going to listen to reason. There's just no point in talking to him."

[Endgame]

"Too complex for me to understand? Insane? Yours are the words of someone who has not yet given thought to my caue - or perhaps doesn't want to admit it is righteous. I have questioned my cause many times before, but each crisis just gives me more resolve to do what needs to be done. Now, Sylvania's Thorn, attack!"

"She'll leave the forest alive, you bastard. You... You won't."

<You're not getting away this time, caw!!>

[Duvors]

QM Note: Duvors, since I assume you equipped the Plasma Shield thinking you'd fight the elctric-type Jin, I have decided that you can keep the elven shield on for now. if you still want the plasma shield, just tell me and I'll change the stats accordingly.

(OOC: I acctually equipped it in case of splash damage from Warlen's spell, you can never be too careful you know!)

"Actually, I have given thought to your cause. And I will say that protecting nature is a noble goal for a man to devote his life to, but as far as I can see that is not what you're doing here."

And with that Throlar drank his smelling salts and attacked Triti from the front row.

[Endgame]

Savato walks towards them, every step calculated. He warps every few steps, changing his angle, the flank he was approaching constantly moving. He brandishes his spear, waiting for the perfect moment to strike...

"It was you who decided to stand in my way. Now, fall. I will protect nature however I can - as the druid may know, some plants thrive not off water, but blood and ash."

QM Note: Click the link for Savato's battle theme.

[Kintobor]

OOC: Pfft, Asphalt, this is an Endgame quest. Trust me, you think this is tough, wait until we get to the end boss. Also, what level is Miller?

[Dannylonglegs]

"Yes. Your corpse shall birth fecund fungi, and your blood shall water the moss." Stated Sylph matter-of-factly, as he proceeded to down his Smelling Salts.

"Let's kill their healers first." He suggested, firing his bow at Triti.

[The Chosen Minifigure]

OOC-Full heath, i should have.

Warlen grins lopsidedly, bringing out his wand.

"Let"s do this!" he yells, drinking a mead before casting fire at Savato.

[Duvors]

"Let's kill their healers first." He suggested, firing his bow at Triti.

"No, no! Attack the other one, we don't want him left unoccupied."

[Dannylonglegs]

OoC: Derp, I wrote the wrong name down.

with a grunt and quick nod, Sylph directed his bow at Tertori.

[Endgame]

QM Note: Warlen's health is fixed, and Miller is level 15. Kintobor, please post a battle order and actions for the NPCs.

[Kintobor]

OOC: Just waiting for Miller's Level. I also doubt Vinds is level 223.

Annienal drew her cutlass and readied her stance, eyeing the mob in front of her worriedly. These were tough opponents.

"Miller, stay behind me, please, I need you to focus on one of the two armoured ones. Sylph, tell the two wolves to focus on one of the armoured ones as well. We're in this for the long haul, gentlemen... um, unless Sylph is a woman, in which case it's gentlemen and lady..."

Annienal targets Pempti from the back row.

Miller targets Paraskevi from the back row.

Oro and Ogo attack Paraskevi.

The party comes out strong, practically stomping the enemy party. Vindsval and Miller thrive - miller marks humanoids, essentially giving him the power to end any of the Thorns with a single shot. Vindsval hexes some of the cultists, leaving only four right in the head.

"Nice shot, Warlen - with that jewelry shop worth of gems in your pouch, though, don't you have an element that'll be effective against all of these jokers?"

Edited May 29, 2015 by Endgame

[Asphalt]

OOC: Should vindsval not have gotten a second attack with dual strike since the smelling salts makes him Hastened and gives a second action? Action 1 consume smelling salts action 2 dual strike? Its my first quest with the weapon so I am still working things out.

[Endgame]

QM Note: Did you take Smelling Salts at one point, and I failed to notice?

[Asphalt]

OOC: In the initial battle post. But even without it, shouldn't dual strike have given him a second attack? So with the Salt he would get Consume Salts and Two strikes?

By the Wanderer these are formidable foes. One misstep and we will all be returned to our fathers. Guide my blade true Great One.

Vindsval stands with his new allies and new found friends of the Forrest Ogo, Oro, and Poe.

If we are to die here, let us make it glorious and worthy of song.
