Heroica RPG - Quest#154: Confidence Game

"It is a trap," Zanna states without hesitation. She scans her environment for tactical advantages, and is rewarded with a sight of something not unfamiliar to the marshlander. "Khrnmalv...ah, Addok-Zo...if you can shoot the yellow thing in the tree, please do so now. If it is what I think it is, it will fix our...it will get rid of the man in our path."

Addok-Zo pulls out his hand cannon. "Smart." He grins and shoots the beehive.

[Mencot]

"Should we try to speak to him atleast? What do you think, Mr Brulav?"

But before Blanton could do or say more, the two younger heroes come up with a plan.

Blanton looks at the hand cannon in the Wakorians hand and says,

"Ehh, w what, I don´t think that is a good id..."

He is interrupted as the shot fires of. Unfortunately for Addok-Zo as e fumbles with the cannon his shot goes wide but it hits the beehive enough side to make it sway.

The worker is also alerted by the load bang

":Mumble grumble: ooh what."

He turns around and see the horse cart and the heroes, also the Wakorian standing on the cart with his hand cannon, pipe fuming.

"Idiot! T that is no regular beehive."

The workingman scratches his sweaty head but raises his hand in the air.

"Whaat is this... a robbery? :grumble: Like this day wasn´t bad enough, work, forest demon and now gettin' robb'd!"

Boris makes ready to explain the woes of his ailment to the counselor as Addok-Zo's hand-cannon goes off. "What in Ennoc's name, my good man!" The vampire stands up in the wagon and promptly falls down again, unable to keep his feet in the moving vehicle. "If it's an ambush you dolts, it's a poorly planned one. I mean, you don't get more obvious than that as far as a distraction. Perhaps we should try diplomatically resolving this first."

The cleric attempts to wave at the man from the cart, "I say there, good fellow. Must have a spot of rain coming on quick with all that thunder banging about, no? Looks like you've picked a rather bad day to be working outside. By the way, what is it you're building there and aren't you afraid it will get trampled upon by all of the traffic?"

"What is 'beehive'? It looks like a very small nest for a very small kind of ramanra. In Kalma, it would be many, many times more big."

Zanna decides to keep quiet and let the Bruhalv negotiate with the strange human, though she keeps her hand very near her dagger.

The man notices Boris waving and shouting

"Work, always work any day. I was repairing this road sign over here." He points at the sign on the ground.

But the conversation was run short because from the swaying hive, four swarms of wasps almost as big as a mans palm started pouring out.


"Oh,o now you have done it." Blanton gets up and pulls out a longbow that was behind him and jumps down from the cart. At the same time as he jumps he strings his bow and aim at the swarming buggers.

Addok-Zo shoots the Yellow Jacket Mob from the Back Row.

[Flipz]

"Hmpf." Zannaqim seems disappointed. "Small ramanra are not as strong as real ramanra. In Kalma these would be more big than me." Zanna drinks her Trial Brew from the Back Row, hoping the name meant it would increase her challenge. "Please fight in this order:"

[Waterbrick Down]

"'Around me they flew like bees, but they were devoured as swiftly as flaming brush, in the name of Ennoc I slew them.' Book of Lamps stanza 118, line 12." Boris hefts his new staff and attacks the Working Hornets Mob 1 from the front row.

"Counselor, keep those other Hornets Mob 2 pinned down, make sure you stay back though. Mr. Carpenter, I suggest you stay down!"

[Mencot]

The battle starts of with that Zanna gets ready for battle with a battle rite of her own and it starts with by drinking a trial brew. Blanton shows his true talent with the longbow with stringing his bow with a triple arrowset and hitting every swarm, almost taking them all out. Addok-Zo also does better aiming this time and hits the Yellow jacket swam, ending them. Boris still a little shaken by Addok-Zo sudden shoting, gets taken by surprise and gets a nasty stung by the hornets.

"Nice shot!" Battle Round One

"Counselor, keep those other Hornets Mob 2 pinned down, make sure you stay back though. Mr. Carpenter, I suggest you stay down!"

"Don´t ye worry about me." The man says. If the heroes rememeber there was four swarms of wasps that came out of the hive, three attacked the hero party and one swarm attacked "the carpenter". But as Boris could see the man didn´t have much trouble with the buggers, he kept stricking them down with his big hammer as they tried to attack him.

[Flipz]

Pleased with her fellow tribe members' efforts, Zanna unsheaths Sir Roderick's Sword, drawing and attacking Working Hornets Mob 1 from the Front Row in one smooth motion. "Let us all attack this group, the others still cannot harm me! The same order is fine."

"Youch!" Boris rubbed his side from the bee sting, "Perhaps, you could give us a warning Addok-Zo, before you fire off that thing." The vampire picks his staff back up and swings again at the Hornet Worker Mob 1 from the front row.

[Yzalirk]

Addok-Zo shoots the Working Hornet Mob 2 from the Back Row.

Edited September 17, 2016 by Goliath

[Mencot]

The already crippled wasps face off against a another devasting blow when Zanna ready with her ritual crushes the first swarm and Blanton finishes the other with killing shot with his bow.

"That felt almost too easy, I say we get out of here."

Loot Distribution

Boris: 2 Tonics

Addok-Zo: 2 Potions, Venom

Zanna gathers up the fallen bodies, squeezing the liquids out of the insects' internal organs and bottling them in vials she carries at her belt. She hands the resulting Tonics to the khrnkav, who would have use for them, and the rest to the Addok-Zo, whose skilled shots had both started the battle and finished one foe. She also gives her own personal Venom to the Blanton. "We fought well. Rejoice now in your win and your spoils." Privately, Zanna is disappointed in herself for having fought so little, but she tries not to let it show. She glances behind herself to see how the stranger is doing.

[Mencot]

The stranger also finishes the last one of the swarm that attacked him, smashing it under his heavy hammer.


"Take that, ye little bugger." He looks at the hive and then at the heroes. "Thank you, you are some good fighters but Hmm, what made them attack us in the first place?"


Blanton walks over to the cart and puts is longbow down on the seat. Being at bit annoyed, he points at the Wakorian and says. "That fellow over there thought it would be excellent to use the hive as target practice... If you, our good sir would just get that roadsign off the road, then we will be on our way."

"That can be for the best because the forest demon will be pissed if he find out what just happened but I will need some help in liftin' the sign then? By the way, my name is Bernard and I am from the nearby village of backwood."

What will the heroes do?

"That fellow over there thought it would be excellent to use the hive as target practice... If you, our good sir would just get that roadsign off the road, then we will be on our way."

Not too thrilled being singled out, Addok-Zo mutters. "Rat."

"Forest demon? Ha! Can't believe you'd believe in that crap but I suppose I should help you lift up the sign." He helps Bernard lift up the sign.

"Forest demon? Ha! Can't believe you'd believe in that crap but I suppose I should help you lift up the sign." He helps Bernard lift up the sign.

The weather seemed to get worse, dark clouds gathered up in the sky and a thick fog appears from nowhere.

"This sign will be up in no time, so we can get out of here. Thanks but you should be careful for what you say and do, this place around our village is cursed."

Blanton just stands next to the cart and mumbled something, looking into the forest with a glazed stare.

[Waterbrick Down]

Boris inspects the sign to see what it says, before stowing the two tonics in his bag.

[Mencot]

Boris inspects the sign to see what it says, before stowing the two tonics in his bag.

Inspecting the sign, Boris sees it is a sign that indicates route. Two point north and one northwest, the ones pointing north says, "Bric´lin" and "Luosh". And the one pointing northwest says "Backwood."

Before they can get the sign secured to the ground an odd character turns up through the fog, a character that would make Addok-Zo believe in the "boogeyman", that is if the boogeyman looks like a big hornet man with red eyes and a beard. The treespirit looks at the carpenter and says,

"Haven´t, I, Told, You, This, Is, My, Forest!"

Then it sees the dead hornets on the ground, his eyes burn brighter red and he lets out a low howl, one would think that it was something only insects could hear.

"Noooooo, What, Have, You, Done..."

The spirit fires up his staff and shots fire at the sign and Bernard. The carpenter runs to hide.

"The demon... better start running."

The spirit turns to the heroes, "You, Are, Gonna, Die."

[Waterbrick Down]

"I don't think that's possible chum." Boris smirks, before hefting his staff to face the demon. "How about you relocate to a less conspicuous part of these woods and nobody'll get hurt. Everybody ends up happy that way."

This post become somehow corrupted... sorry.

Zanna laughs in the demon's face. "You have never met a Selkreeth. The only one who will die here is you."
