Heroica RPG - Quest#35: Rescue the Maa’ri!

[Jebediahs]

QM Note: Changed the wording of the Rogue & Ranger's SHIELD abilities to reflect how they were intended to operate. S'nothing that affects the results of previous rounds.

Results of Round Three of the Akkaba Patrol, Squad I:

Maa'ri Rogue vs. Enemy Party - Shield: Mug 'Em(26x3-15=63 damage Paladin ,26x3-5=73 damage Cleric ,26x3=78 damage Mage )

Knifk vs. Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Damage (20-9=11 damage)

Thormanil Nihai vs. Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Hit (12+18+1-15=16 damage)

Thormanil Nihai vs. Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Meditate

>Arasmyth RuGard vs. Akkaba Mage (Human) - Special Damage: Shadow Bolt (25/2 rounded up =13 damage)

Maa'ri Rogue vs. Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Shield: Mug 'Em

Maa'ri Ranger vs. Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Shield: Hawkeye

Maa'ri Hound vs. Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Special Damage: Lay on Hands

>Ad-Hoh vs. Akkaba Mage (Human) - Hit ((5+15)x2=40 damage)

>Elgar Gligin vs. Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) - Damage (20/2=10 damage)

Akkaba Cleric (Elf) vs. Knifk - Free Hit (12-9=3 damage)

Knifk counter-strikes Akkaba Cleric (Elf) - Free Hit (25-5=20 damage)

Rogue returns from the shadows dealing mega damage to each member of the enemy party before disappearing again. Akkaba Paladin (Dwarf) clashes with Knifk. Thormanil quickly comes to his companion's aid and clocks the dwarf. He takes the opportunity to meditate and regains an ether. The darkness mage lobs a shadow bolt at Arasmyth which connects. Ranger is unable to find his kill shot even though the dwarf is standing in the open slowly casting a heal spell on his teammate. Ad-Hoh finishes the spell duel by knocking out the Akkaba mage, proving his grasp of darkness spells is superior to hers. Elgar is caught off guard when the Dwarf charges him. Thankfully he's light on his feet and is able to dive away so that he's only clipped by the enemy's shield. Fed up with the cleric's antics, Knifk punches her in the face.

"Do you guys think you could speed it along? Our shift ends soon."

Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone has acted.

Double Check (or don't) stats and such. I'm a bit rusty.

[Kadabra]

Arasmyth turns to the Cleric and fires a gust of wind from the back row. Ranger, Rogue, and Hound continue their frontal assault on the Paladin.

Same BO

[ADHO15]

Ad-Hoh proudly defeats his opponent, proving his superiority in the art of dark magic. As the Akkaba Mage falls to the floor, he turns on the spot and prepares to attack the Akkaba Cleric from the back row with Darkness.

[swils]

"I'm not getting anywhere near enough opportunities to bash people! Can't you all take less damage? It's like you never learned how to dodge a wrench!" he exclaims, as he again turns his efforts towards healing (Elgar & Arasmyth, from the back row)

[Bioniclover]

Knifk continues his attack.

"Welp, it's quittin' time. Nice bunch of recruits ye are. Can always use more dwarves, humans and elves. Especially the female variety." He winked a glowing eye at Arasmyth before him and his patrol took the rest of the night off.

"That was fun. If we don't want to draw more attention towards our large group, I say we split up. Maa'ri on one team and you Heroica lot in the other. No offense, we just work better together." She looked to all the faces of The Party and nodded. "You all did rather well, especially for your first encounter with the Akkaba. We fled using a smoke bomb on our first time."

"Here are your party objectives:

:>

Find and free our lost comrades and kin

. Our comrades are: our leader, an

orc warrior

, the equivalent of your knight; an old

spell casting orc

; and a

pair of goblin

brothers. You'll recognize our family as any age and gender of orc.

:>

If you can't find them at least find

evidence they were here

. It is possible they've been moved to another location yet again

:>

Stay together!

I'm not doubting your skills but if you were to split and run into a patrol the odds are you would be overwhelmed, insta-KO'd and tossed in the sewer.

:>

Meet up with us near the sewer entrance

when you've completed searching the city of Nahrees. Although I'm sure we will find you sooner.

We too will be trying to achieve the same results. Here's the map, good luck. Now, distribute the loot and get to work! We don't have all night!" Rogue, Ranger and Hound disappeared around a corner to look for their friends leaving the party alone. Ranger peeked his head around the corner one last time.

"Hey Knifk, if our leader turns out to be dead, want to take his place?" He laughed as Rogue pulled him down a hall.

With map in hand, what will the party do first?

QM Note: That 2/6 & 1/6 chance of bypassing encounters only applies to Akkaba Patrols for the rest of the quest. Also, check your stats.

[Bioniclover]

Knifk smiles at ranger and snaps a mocking salute, then turns back to the party. "Prison District is the most obvious place for prisoners. We should head there."

[ADHO15]

"I concur, although the Mage Quarter does sound interesting..."

[Kadabra]

Knifk smiles at ranger and snaps a mocking salute, then turns back to the party. "Prison District is the most obvious place for prisoners. We should head there."

"Precisely. This means that the Prison Quarter is the least likely place to find the prisoners, as it would be far too easy and obvious." Arasmyth states matter-of-factly, then turns to Ad-Hoh.

"I concur, although the Mage Quarter does sound interesting..."

"Seeing as the Prison Quarter will not hold any prisoners we are looking for, we have a 33.33333333 percent chance to find them wherever we go, so since you've expressed interest in the Mage Quarter, we'll head there. "

[swils]

"Finally, someone with a proper head on his shoulders, heh heh! If we had concerns about guards at the gate, rushin' to the Prison district seems about as counterproductive as possible. Y'know how they keep prisoners locked up, dontcha? With guards, ha! Mages though, they're squishy. I'd bet my last few coins that we can get 'em to talk. Speakin' of coins, how's about that little welcoming gift the paladin and his friends left us, Arasmyth? My wallet aint as jingly as it usually is, if y'know what I mean."

OoC: Going to be gone til tomorrow most likely, so if I'm not around and something comes up today, Kadabra can act for me.

[Kadabra]

"Oh, crud. Forgot about that. 40 Gold for each of us, Phoenix Essence for Thormanil, Remedies to Ad-Hoh and Elgar."

The Party headed towards the Mage Quarter and came upon a bridge. Before they could cross it, four ground panels on each side of the bridge began to glow as an ethereal apparition appeared.

"Welcome. I am Kes, the guardian of the Mage Quarter entrance. As none of you worship Akkaba, *giggle* the spell that sustains me has been activated. *giggle*giggle* Do you wish to cross my bridge?" Kes floated from one side of the bridge entrance to the other waiting expectantly for an answer.

How will the Party respond?

[Kadabra]

"Yep. Stand by or we'll beat the undeath out of you with our elemental spells and weaponry, thou baleful spirit."

[Jebediahs]

Kes blinked twice. "So hostile. *giggle*giggle* I shall do as you demand." Kes floated to the left side of the bridge's entrance and curtsied. She waved an outstretched hand and allowed the Party to pass.

What does the Party wish to do?

Edited June 17, 2012 by Jebediahs

[Kadabra]

Arasmyth, immensely pleased with his sucess, strides across the bridge.

[Jebediahs]

Arasmyth attempted to walk across the bridge. He went about two studs when he suddenly dropped into the water below. It magically burned him for 3 damage before he disappeared and reappeared back with the rest of his friends. Kes laughed.

"So funny you are! I thought female elves were more cautious. You gave me a good laugh so I'll give you the hint to passing. It's quite easy. *giggle*"

"There are four sections of my bridge. There are four buttons that correspond to a section of my bridge. Four of you must be standing on the correct buttons at the same time while your fifth member walks across and pushes the button on the other side which will restabilize the bridge and dissipate the trap spell."

Kes twirls and rises seven studs in the air before coming back down.

*giggle* "I suppose you'll need to decide who burns *giggle* I mean who is to brave the walk across. I suggest you try

one idea at a time

to give the melting member time to recover his or her health. La la la-la!"

Kes began skipping around like an annoying ditz.

"Attempting to outstretch a limb to cautiously feel if the next section is solid is futile. You must boldly step on each section of bridge. It will remain if you are correct and disappear if not. And I'm so nice I'll let you know what sections have solidified...after you've burned of course. Hahaha. For instance if you successfully materialize sections A and D, I will tell you so after you've had a swim!"

"Are there any questions?"

QM Note: Simply post four names, four buttons and the sacrifical victim. Of course Party Leader (and I suppose the sacrifice also) has the option to veto a posted idea. We wouldn't want you to try to kill a player on purpose!

[Kadabra]

"Let's try prime numbers first. 2, 3, 5, 7."

Arasmyth's Plan:

Arasmyth: 2

Ad-hoh: 3

Thormanil: 5

Elgar: 7

Knifk: Sacrificial Victim

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar thanked Arasmyth and looked at the bridge. He decided Arasmyth's plan is thest one he knew and nodded in agreement

[ADHO15]

"That sounds logical. Let us try Arasmyth's plan."

[Jebediahs]

Knifk was next to try his luck. He made it passed section A then fell into the magic water below. His fancy armor wasn't enough to keep him from burning for 4 damage before he disappeared and reappeared back with the rest of his friends. Kes laughed.

"Wowo! The dwarf went 'splish-splash'! Did I forget to mention you burn for longer with each attempt? Tee hee! Try again please." Kes began doing cartwheels without ever touching the ground.

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar helps Knifk up and suggests standing on even panels.

[Kadabra]

Elgar helps Knifk up and suggests standing on even panels.

Possible. Out of one even number in the batch, one panel solidified. In addition, said even number - 2 - is the lowest one possible, and the first panel solidified. Let's go 2, 4, 6, 8, with Thormanil as our guinea pig."

[Jebediahs]

Thormanil attempted to walk across the bridge. He fell in section A. The water magically burned him for 5 damage before he disappeared and reappeared back with the rest of his friends.

"That shaman looks like my sister Lorena. She lives or lived next door to me. I'm not quite sure where the real me is. I'm not a ghost just a spell created in the image of young woman who used to roam the streets here. *giggle* I think she was a bit of a harlot. *giggle*giggle* Wasn't I supposed to mention when a section of bridge was activated? *giggle* No, nevermind. That doesn't sound like me at all! Try again please."

[Jedi master Brick]

"It must be one of the odd numbers, we should try all odd"

[Kadabra]

"If you say so. All odds, Elgar is to be sacrificed."
