Party Leader, choose the order of actions. If not done so in a timely manner, the Second-In-Command will make the decision.

Knifk, state if you want to sacrifice any additional health for your attacks (my apologies, I forgot about this ability).

Second-In-Command, just go ahead and post Knifk and Arasmyth's actions. They'll come back when they come back.

All of you, choose your targets and the Row you 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 because I'm not double checking.

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

OoC: Just checking in briefly. Shouldn't Arasmyth have lost half his HP to the mark at the end of the round?

Elgar repeats his attack

Jebediahs · July 4, 2012

OoC: Uh, oops.

QM Note: Arasmyth should have lost half of his health in Round 4 causing Thormanil's Shield roll in Round 5 to heal Arasmyth instead of Elgar. I've gone back and made the adjustments. Thank you for paying attention.

Meanwhile, at the Mage College the orcs aren't having much luck...

"This is a waste of time. She wouldn't be here."

"We must find her! We will search every portion of every wing of this city until we do."

Results of Round Six of the Mage Interrogators Battle:

Knifk vs. Akkaba Lead Interrogator - Shield: Demon Within ((10x3+15)x2=90 damage; 90-20=70 damage Lead , 90-10=80

damage Interrogator & Paladin )

>Ad-Hoh vs. Akkaban Paladin (Human) - Spell Aim (5-10~0 wood damage)

Ad-Hoh's Spirit of Darkness vs. Akkaban Interrogator - Spirit Attack (13x2-10=16 darkness damage)

>Elgar Gligin vs. Akkaban Paladin (Human) - Shield: Tripleshot (23-10=13 damage Paladin & Interrogator , 23-20=3 damage Lead )

>Arasmyth RuGard uses Item - Scroll of Sealing (Akkaban Interrogator) (Successful=No)

>Thormanil Nihai vs. Akkaba Lead Interrogator - Meditate/Special Damage

>Thormanil Nihai vs. Akkaba Lead Interrogator - Hit/Shield: Blood Ritual (26+13-20=19 damage Lead & 19 health Elgar )

Tendrils of dark energy spew from Knifk's orifices...all of them. The interrogators are damaged but the human paladin remains unscathed. He sniffs the air and catches a hint of feces. The experience leaves the orc-turned-dwarf stunned. Ad-Hoh attempts to bind his target with magical vines but the paladin swipes through them. His pet is more successful although its presence in this plane drains another ether from its master. Elgar shoots off a rain of arrows which hit their marks. Unfortunately one of the arrows gets a little too close to Arasmyth which causes him to jump and mispronounce a word on his scroll. Thormanil takes a moment to meditate before conducting his barbarian ritual yet again. With their enemies at low health, the battle is almost won.

Results of Round Seven of the Mage Interrogators Battle:

Knifk vs. Status Effect - Stunned

Thormanil Nihai vs. Akkaba Lead Interrogator - Special Damage/Extra Critical Hit (12x3+19-20=35 damage)

>Arasmyth RuGard uses Item - Scroll of Sealing (Akkaban Interrogator) (Successful=Yes)

>Ad-Hoh vs. Akkaban Paladin (Human) - Hit (13+5-10=8 wood damage)

Ad-Hoh's Spirit of Darkness vs. Akkaban Interrogator - Spirit Attack (13x2-10=16 darkness damage)

>Elgar Gligin vs. Akkaban Paladin (Human) - Aim (10-10~0 damage)

Thormanil Nihai vs. Akkaba Lead Interrogator - Damage/Special Damage (26-3=23 damage received)

Knifk begins to recover from his demonic release. Thormanil strikes the lead interrogator with his full strength and damages her severely. She quickly retaliates and comes close to knocking him out. Ad-Hoh's shadowy pet distracts the interrogator trainee which allows Arasmyth to prevent him from using his devastating special skills. Ad-Hoh and Elgar double team the paladin but the armored warrior barrels through their barrage of spells and arrows. The enemies are running out of steam and the battle should be decided within the next round or two.

OoC: I really don't want to come off as though I'm nitpicking (where's the :doh: smiley?) I was under the (perhaps/likely mistaken) impression that "Sealed" would prevent the use of special abilities. That would, in turn, make "Special Damage" against the Lead Interrogator a more desirable option than regular "Damage", wouldn't it? That is, as long as I'm not actually mistaken about how Sealed works vs NPCs.

Akkaban Interrogator vs. Knifk - Free Hit (23-9=14 damage)

Knifk counter-strikes Akkaban Interrogator - Free Hit (25-10=15 damage)

Knifk fully recovers from the taxing shadowy ordeal in time to raise his shield, blocking some of the human paladin's attack. Badly beaten, Thormanil tends to his own wounds before healing his teammate. Arasmyth is almost done reading his scroll when Ad-Hoh's pet explodes. It startles him and throws his concentration. Elgar again has trouble finding the chink in the paladin's armor. With the shadow spirit destroyed before its chance to attack, the Akkaban Interrogator is free to choose his target. After an exchange with Knifk he is brought close to death.

"Have you recruits visited the the Prison Area? Akkaban hopefuls are usually shown that area first to scare any potential traitors. Then they're generally taken to the War Quarter to visit our combat trainer and view the outside of He Who is Closest to Akkaba's residence. Then they're brought here, passing through the market area then rarely shown the Apothecarium.*shudders*"

Party Leader, choose the order of actions. If not done so in a timely manner, the Second-In-Command will make the decision.

Second-In-Command, the Party Leader can override your orders if done so before the next round of combat is run.

Knifk, state if you want to sacrifice any additional health for your attacks.

All of you, choose your targets and the Row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, heal, cast a magic spell, or if you want to use an item instead of attacking. Check your stats to make sure no mistakes were made. Hopefully the next round is so successful I'm able to safely auto play the following one.

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

Results of Round Nine of the Mage Interrogators Battle:

Knifk vs. Akkaban Paladin (Human) - Hide

Thormanil Nihai vs. Akkaba Lead Interrogator - Hit/Extra Critical Hit (12x3+19-20=35 damage)

Thormanil Nihai vs. Akkaba Lead InterrogatorAkkaban Interrogator - Meditate/Special Damage

>Arasmyth RuGard uses Item - Scroll of Sealing (Akkaba Lead InterrogatorAkkaban Interrogator) (Successful=No)

Ad-Hoh's Spirit of Wood vs. Akkaban Paladin (Human) -Spirit Attack (13-10=3 wood damage)

>Elgar Gligin vs. Akkaban Paladin (Human) - Damage (15/2 rounded up =8 damage received)

Knifk hides while Thormanil hits the lead interrogator with just enough force to kill her. He takes a moment to consider his actions. Arasmyth's spell fizzles as his target is slain. Ad-Hoh brings forth his spirit of wood which isn't too effective against the enemy paladin who manages to clip Elgar with his mace. Only two enemies remain so the battle continues.

The heroes aren't messin' around and unleash some of their most devastating attacks in sequence. Thormanil lands his Tailblade deep into the right shoulder of the interrogator apprentince, ending his life. With his target slain again, Arasmyth is unable to cast his scroll spell. Knifk charges the Akkaba Paladin while Ad-Hoh and his pet chip away at him with the power of wood. The paladin has had enough of Elgar's arrows and gives up the fight. Ad-Hoh begins thinking clearly as his pet dissipates draining a final ether from its master. The effects of his potions wearing off, Thormanil returns to normal as well.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!!

All party members gain half a level of experience. The enemies drop a Remedy, a Potion, Fractured Spectacles, and 200g.
