On odd rounds the QM will select the special that screws the party the most. Otherwise specials alternate in order from last special used in an even round.

Type Humanoid *Petrified* Level: 30 Health: 36/150 Defense: 0 Ether: 10/10 Special I: Insane Fervor - Cuts himself multiple times to show Akkaba he’d do anything for his blessing. Enemy is encouraged for the next round at the cost of 10 health and 1 ether. Special II: Pontificate - Converts party member to their way of thinking. Player is hexed for the next round at the cost of 5 ether. Special III: Survival of the Fittest - The zealot seeks to eliminate the competition for Akkaba’s favor.

Drops: 30 gold, Potion QM Note: Zealots are ‘touched’ by Akkaba. Each strike against them has a 50/50 chance to apply the Mark of Akkaba to a player.

He picks up the Needlessly Large Rod and emits an interesting cadence, similar to . He then stands over the Archivist who is bleeding profusely but since he's a "boss" is still alive. "Where are their friends?" - *cough* "Friends? Ha hah hah *hack+wheeze* They are not here for their friends." - "Then what...?" Gasping for air, The Archivist slowly raises his hand and points towards Nyssa, the Akkaban leader's daughter. "Never trust a green-skin, Heroes." His hand falls to the ground but he is still alive. Ranger moves to grab Nyssa, while Rogue, with her sights on the Archivist, reaches for a throwing dagger. What will the Party do? QM Note: Divide loot + do an action or ask something or say something or sit quietly then we'll move on. Quote
swils Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) As the party gets to their feet, Thormana steps in front of Rogue and readies her blade. "And just what do you think you're doing?" Edited September 19, 2012 by swils Quote
Kadabra Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Arasmyth coughs and hacks. "Whoo, boy. They got me good... Ad Hoh, take the Lens and the potion , thorm can have the *wheeze* Phoenix Essence and a *cough* Re,edy, Kn-*wheeze*ifk can have a *cough* Remedy, and so can *hack* Elgar. 100 gold to each *cough, hack* of you, and *cough, wheeze* an extra 10 to Thormanil." Blood trickles out of the corner of Arasmyth's mouth as he removes his mask, setting it on the ground. He holds his Sapphire up, whispering, "Heh.., I've had a good run. Namaarie, vanya sulie, ar' aa' lasser en lle coia orn n' omenta gurtha. Tenna' enta lye omenta, ta nae omin saesa. (Farewell, fair winds, and may the wind fill your sails. Until we next meet, it has been my pleasure.) "As the light dies from his eyes, the royal blue gemstone drops to the earth, embedding itself partially in the ground. An ethereal wind fills the rioom, causing the half filled bottles of liquid the Archivist had to hum a haunting refrain. Finally the last traces of breath exit the two century year old elf's body, and he lays motionless on the floor. OOC: Thromanil and the rest shall bury Arasmyth somewhere in Eubric so if you wish to have one of his unique items, leave an offering of Gold to his spirit at the ce,every and you may take it. Look forward to the debut of Thulma, female dwarf rogue, in the Hall sometime soon. Quote
Jedi master Brick Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Elgar got on his knees "Poor Arasmyth, may you be rememberd as a great hero of herocia. You have died for an honourable cause' but why did we have to lose you." Quote

Scroll has a 50/50 chance of success. ) As the party gets to their feet, Thormana steps in front of Rogue and readies her blade. "And just what do you think you're doing?" - "He talks too much. Besides, you should be tending to your leader there. He does not look well." - "Ha-ta! *cough* Akkaba hass struck down another of your friends, Maa'ri scu-" The hilt of Rogue's knife stopped the man's speech as it slammed hard into his neck. Nyssa screamed and ran to the Archivist's side. - "Filthy abominations! My father will wipe you all from Olegaia!" She spat before lifting the Archivist slightly in an attempt to make him more comfortable. Ranger sighed and rolled his eyes. "You heroes've suffered loss as we have. Might as well know the truth." As per the advice received earlier, Singerson takes notes. "Originally, we had family members captured by who we thought were followers of Ennoc. It's been our experience that those bastards preach acceptance and the "light" but brutalize orcs in secret. As you can tell, we discovered these nuts worshipped Akkaba, an upstart diety I guess is trying to compete with Ennoc? Who knows but I tracked our family to the first Akkaban outpost. Two days later Rogue, Hound, our leader Warrior, Caster, the Goblin Twinz and I sneaked in to free hostages but found them to have been moved to another location. Unfortunately for us, getting out wasn't as easy as getting in. All of a sudden an army of those Akkaban pigs were upon us when it was supposed to have been lightly guarded. I don't know if as an orc I have trouble distinguishing human characteristics but every member of that army looked the same." Ranger shrugged as his mutt laid on its belly. "Our magic expert covered us with an impressive display of power, swallowing a hundred of them into the earth. The stress of it all must've been too much for him because the old codger had a heart attack on the spot!" He looked at Arasmyth. "Guess spellcasting should be left to the young!" Ranger laughed as Rogue retrieved her dagger. "We lost our demolitionist next. We'd found some strange kind of magic training facility slash supplies compound. We had one chance for the goblin to rig the whole place to blow but the remote detonator malfunctioned so he had to blow it all up manually. BOOM!" Rogue frowned as Singerson looked on visibly disturbed. "Our engineer died building a 'Final Solution' device as he called it. I still don't fully understand what happened to him." - "It *cough* was one of our most faithful who sabotaged his device!" "Wow, enough." Ranger takes an arrow from his quiver and casually walks over to the Archivist. He pushes Nyssa out of the way, lifts the Archivist's mask then shoves the arrow upward through the bottom of the man's chin. "During a recon mission we discovered that these bastards had killed our kin. With no one left to save we focused on revenge. During that same quest we found plans of how to reach this city of Nahrees. They detailed the route of the rotating portal entrance and exit points. Warrior declared a new mission: find out who led the Akkaba and take him out. Again, we had trouble getting out of that quest." Miraculously, the Archivist was still alive and managed a gurgling laugh despite the arrow through his head. Blood flowed from every orafice. "To his credit *gurgle*gurgle* your leader defeated over two-hundred of our guards to cover your escape. We eventually brought him down." Rogue had had enough. She took two of her daggers and jammed them into the Archivist's ears. "On our first visit we learned He-Who-Is-Closest-To-Akkaba had a daughter so we contacted Heroica to help us capture her. Now heroes, will you let us have our revenge and let us kill Nyssa or will you fight us to the death? We have nothing to live for but this." With their Party Leader dead and the option to kill yet another innocent child presented to them, What will the Party do? Quote
swils Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Just noticed, but somewhere between page 23&24 Arasmyth seems to have picked up an extra Topaz, heh Before answering Rogue, Thormana takes a moment to check the Archivist's pockets for the wealth he had offered in exchange for the orcs. "That ain't what we signed on for, Rogue. We've got some personal business to attend to, so I'd rather not have to get rough with y'all. Now, I don't know what kind of morals you've all got, but killin' a kid doesn't seem like any way to get revenge. If you've got nothin' else to live for, then die on the field of battle, takin' out as many of these crazies as ya can. Or at least use her to get to their leader." Thorm hoists up Arasmyth's body and slings him over her shoulder. "But that's up to y'all. Tell ya what. I'll take Arasmyth and be on my way if you give me the hundred gold ya promised me... and your boots, Rogue. I'd just ask that whatever you do to the kid, you wait til I'm outta earshot." Quote

OoC: He won it in the lottery. - "You greedy son of a *@!~#! We gave you that gold at the beginning of the quest!" "Come now, Thormanil. Where's the barbarian from earlier this evening that didn't think twice about striking down a youth? Surely one more youngling under your belt would add to your impressive career in child-slaying?

These others can not possibly understand our plight but you must certainly see our side. They took our family, we take theirs. It can't get more simple than that." Options: Fight Maa'ri (and win) - Girl Lives Ignore/Bypass Maa'ri - Girl Dies Any action other than fighting the orcs - Girl Dies Bold your choice, Arasmyth has no say in the matter but maybe Kadabra can call Bioniclover and post his choice for him. The Maa'ri will be at full health. They recover quickly. Quote

ADHO15 Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Ad-Hoh consumes all three of his tonics and his banana, sensing that another fight may be imminent. "The girl's life means nothing to me. From what I have seen on this quest, her family and her people are extremely hostile, racist and blinded by their faith, but killing her will only escalate matters. You have the chance to be the better people and not stoop to petty revenge. I do not wish to fight you, but on your heads be it if you do decide to slaughter this girl in cold blood." Quote
