Hound vs Archivist, front

Ranger vs Archivist, back

Thormanil vs Paladin, front (x2) with Thundering Totem. If first roll results in damage, then shift second roll to a self-heal.

I'm going to be heading up the hill for a bit. I'll try to check in via mobile so that we can reach the climax of this conflict, but don't expect any fancy formatting, heh.

Results of Round Eighteen of The Archivist's Assault:

Maa'ri Ranger vs. Akkaban Archivist - Miss/Aim (Deflection=No,12-5=7 damage)

Maa'ri Hound vs. Akkaban Archivist - Damage (Archivist will absorb hits Ranger receives next round)

Thormana Nihai vs. Akkaban Archivist - Hit/Shield: Blood Ritual (Deflection=No,19+10-5=24 damage, 24 health to Ranger)

Thormana Nihai vs. Akkaban Archivist - Damage/Extra Critical Hit (Deflection=No,9x3+21+1-5=44 damage)

Other Stuff:

Akkaban Paladin vs. Maa'ri Ranger Akkaban Archivist - Free Hit (20-5=15)

The Archivist is overwhelmed by attacks and is unable to deflect any of them. The paladin has a clear shot at Ranger but the Archivist prevents him from completing the strike with a spell of his own. Casting the deflection spell and the telekinesis spell simultaneously seems to have damaged the Archivist a bit. The battle continues with the Archivist once again protecting Ranger for another round of combat.

swils, choose the order of actions.

All of you, choose your targets and the Row you and your controlled character want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, heal, or cast a magic spell, or if you want to use an item instead of attacking.

Check your stats, as usual.

Trickster's Masks can be donned/removed in the same turn as your normal action. Currently two characters are wearing a mask: Thorm(Gender-Human), 'Smyth(Gender-Elf)

Results of Round Five of The Archivist's Assault:

Should that shield in the last round have actually damaged the Archivist?

QM Note: Oh yeah, you're right. Forgot he is immune to clerical spells. Will fix it for next round. Ranger is still at full health.

Having remembered that she couldn't end up transferring poison from the Archivist, Thormana decided to instead attack him with her Wyvern's Tailblade.

Posted

OoC: When will it end?

Results of Round Nineteen of The Archivist's Assault:

Maa'ri Ranger vs. Akkaban Archivist - Critical Hit (Deflection=No,62-5=57 damage)

Maa'ri Hound vs. Akkaban Archivist - Damage (Archivist will absorb hits Ranger receives next round) Seriously?

Thormana Nihai vs. Akkaban Archivist - Meditate/Damage (+1 ether)

Thormana Nihai vs. Akkaban Archivist - Special Damage/Special Damage: Use Rod (Special Guard=No, +cursed)

Other Stuff:

Akkaban Paladin vs. Maa'ri Ranger Akkaban Archivist - Free Hit (20-5=15)

The Archivist takes more punishment. Taking advantage of Thormana's meditation, he pulls out his large rod and swings it at her. It emits a yellowish-white substance that squirts onto Thormana inflicting her with the cursed effect. The Archivist then throws himself in between the Ranger and the paladin once more as the battle plays on.

Other Stuff:

Akkaban Paladin vs. Maa'ri Ranger Akkaban Archivist - Free Hit (20-5=15)

Having sufficiently studied Ranger, the Archivist centers himself and focuses for his next attack which will take place a couple rounds from now. He takes a seat with his legs crossed and his hands in some weird position. The Archivist glows white slightly and begins to float. He deftly floats to the side to avoid the Hound and maintains his zen pose. Thormana tries her blood ritual but is unsuccessful. The Archivist stops the paladin's strike once more only this time he catches it with his hand.

Tightening her grip around her large axe, Thormana prepares for a final assault against the Archivist.

"Last chance, Archie. A thousand coins, the lens, and your pretty little rod. That's all I want. Hand 'em over and we'll let you live."

QM Note: The entire party has become blinded. Members may make target selections as normal but /rolls of Crit/Hit/Aim will result in a MISS for the hero. In the event of a SHIELD roll, all SHIELDs will function as normal as blind does not affect them.

Results of Round Twenty-One of The Archivist's Assault:

Maa'ri Hound vs. Akkaban Archivist - Miss (Dumb dog)

>Maa'ri Ranger vs. Akkaban Paladin - Special Damage: Righteous Smite (10 damage to Ranger, +blind to party)

Thormana Nihai vs. Akkaban Archivist - Special Damage/Damage (Archivist is slowed.)

Thormana Nihai vs. Akkaban Archivist - Special Damage/Damage (Archivist does nothing)

The combatants on both sides are exhausted and take time to rest. To prevent the heroes from getting too comfortable the Paladin brings forth Akkaba's light a final time as his ether is too low to summon the spell again. Unable to see the party must find a way to continue the battle.

The heroes begin to stir as Singerson comes out from his hiding place with Nyssa. 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?"

thmb_archivist.jpg - *cough* "Friends? Ha hah hah *hack+wheeze* They are not here for their friends."

thmb_singerson3.jpg - "Then what...?"

thmb_archivist.jpg

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.

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?"

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. :sweet::wink: Look forward to the debut of Thulma, female dwarf rogue, in the Hall sometime soon. :grin:

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?"

thmb_mrogue0.jpg - "He talks too much. Besides, you should be tending to your leader there. He does not look well."

thmb_archivist.jpg - "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.

thmb_nyssa1.jpg - "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.

thmb_mranger0.jpg

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."

thmb_archivist.jpg - "It *cough* was one of our most faithful who sabotaged his device!"

thmb_mranger0.jpg

"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."

thmb_archivist.jpg

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."

thmb_mrogue0.jpg

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?

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."

OoC: He won it in the lottery.

thmb_mrogue0.jpg - "You greedy son of a *@!~#! We gave you that gold at the beginning of the quest!"

thmb_mranger0.jpg

"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?

Posted (edited)

"no matter what the rest of the party say I will not strike down a youth. I will fight to my final breath to stop that. Do you relies how many people have died for this. Killing an unarmed innocent youth will not help. Doing that swill make you as badas our enemy. No stop with this ridicoulous revenge nonsense and get out of here."

Rogue visibly sulks.
"Knifk, Ad-hoh! 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.

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."

Posted

"So you stand aside and let an inccocent girl be murdered, I don't give a damn about what her family has done, she is innocent and does not deserve to die."

"Well I do not know about you, but I certainly would not like to live here. Lucky escape, I say.

Now do not go trying to force your views upon others like some Akkaba extremist, or else you will be fighting me as well."
