Heroica RPG - Unlimited Quest: Fields of Glory

[Asphalt]

Mack Donauld watches the strange newcomer arrive.

Speakin o' Beasties. Boy what is that thing on your belly? Neverymind, I don't rightly think I want to know. You city dwellers have some mighty strange ways. So have Y'all decided on a place to begin? You can head to the Windmill, the Meadow, the Corn Maze, the orchard, the Punkin patch, or the Riverbank.

QM Note-I will give Skeleton a little bit of time after you decide on a starting point. But if we haven't heard from him by this evening I will post the first location. Just tell me where you want to begin.

"If we want to go North, which I think we do, do we want to take the long way or a shorter way? We can take route 1, 2, 12, 16, C, 19, 18 which is quite a long route. Or we can take a shorter route, namely 3, 11, C, 19, 18."

Torald wanted to start at point 3, which would be... Kid squints at the map legend. the corn maze?

QM note: Each QM likes things a little different, but for this quest could you use this formatting so I can keep things straight easier.

"Use a colored font when your Character Speaks"

Use italics for action descriptions and BOLD for decisions.

For Example

If it were up to me, I say we Go North.

Jim knelt next to the butchered Red Shirt. ​​Why did you have to kill him? He just got here.

Jim Attacks the Thoresian from the Back Row with his Magical Whistle.

[MysticModulus]

Anyone up for poultry with mulled wine? I'll take on that Feral Hen, maybe Torald could go for the Scarecrow?

Ezeran grabs his staff and attacks the feral hen from the back row.

Sensing darkness eminating from the scarecrow Ezeran turns back to Torald again. Or maybe you should take out those pesky phoenix-looking excuses for canaries, the power of the scarecrow is no match for me.

[BountyBeast]

"The skeleton guy never showed up, eh? Oh well, we can start the party without him. Or her. I could never really tell."

Hunkan turns to the canaries, ignoring the chicken and scarecrow because his comrades can handle them. Grinning with confidence, he brandishes his sword and attacks one of the canaries from the front row.

[Asphalt]

QM Note: Mostly for the new folks since this is your first battle. You choose an enemy, a weapon, and a row to attack from. If you attack from the back row you both give and take half damage. Any enemy not targeted will get a free hit on the party starting with the first person in the battle order. Party leader keep this in mind.

[Alfadas]

Battle Order:

Ezeran

Torald

Peteldan

Kid

Hunkan

Let's take out those pesky canaries first, so everybody except Ezeran attack a canarie, please. After that, we'll take out the hen and then the scarecrow. Ezeran, you absorb darkness, can you take the free hit from the scarecrow?

Torald tightens the grip on his Sludge Glaive and attacks canary #1, from the front row.

Edited March 11, 2016 by Alfadas

[Asphalt]

QM note: Please denote which Canary you are attacking. 1, 2, 3, or 4.

[Alfadas]

I'll take number one, next one takes #2 and so on. Torald says while pinching his eyes towards the enemies.

[dum]

Dibs on canary number three. Kid loads his crossbow. I don't like the way he's looking at me. Kid attacks canary 3 from the back row.

[Palathadric]

I attack Canary#2 from the back row.

"Ooh, an evil knight, we must slay him at once, with all alacrity!"

In truth, as low-leveled as we are, I think the best policy is to hit the weakest areas and try to complete as many battles as possible. It's not as if we have a healer. I'm fine with anything though.

[Asphalt]

Battle Behind the Rows

Round 1

Ezeran attacks the feral hen from the back row (1)Magic Burst, 18 Damage to all enemies, Canary 1, 2, 3, and 4 KO Hen (64-18=42) Scarecrow (210-18=198) (6 ether)

Torald attacks a canary 1, Ferrel Hen from the front row (6) Special Damage Chicken Run Torald takes 16 Damage Torald KO

Peteldan Attacks Canary2 Scarecrow from the back row (6) special Damage Shriek Petaldan is now Afraid.

Kid attacks Canary 3 Scarecrow (4) Aim Scarecrow Takes 3 Damage (210-3=207)

Hunkan attacks one of the canary 4 Scarecrow from the front row (4) Hide

The first round begins with a flash of brilliant blue light as Ezeran eliminates all 4 Canaries from the field of battle. They will not be singing any songs today. Tolard learns that it is not always wise to favor strength over safety as he is knocked unconscious by the ferocious hammer like wing beats of the feral Hen. Lucky for the rest of them the crazed bird flees the battle, before anyone else can be drummed down. This leaves the final three heroes to face off against the terror of the Scarecrow. The young knight and clever thief learn learn why these things are the tales of nightmares. Petaldan shakes in terror, while Hunkan cowers behind an especially dense path of stalks. Kid struggles through the fear to land a light blow against the creature. It would seem straw is rather resilient against arrows.

<Sorry guys, bad storm hit. Been without power for a week.>

[dum]

Kid ducks down and tries to avoid the scarecrow's gaze. My arrows are useless. Does anyone have a match?

[MysticModulus]

Ezerans gaze darkens as Torald is knocked out, a deep and dark laughter springs out. This will be over soon, darkness is nothing to me. Ezeran attacks the scare crow with his staff from the front row.

[Alfadas]

OoC: I can't use the phoenix essence on myself right? As I'm KO'ed? And I was hoping to gain a level after this battle, so I was lv 9 and I could equip the tricorne again.

If I can use the phoenix essence, I do so.

OoC: yeah, misread... indeed lv 10.. hehe oops

[Asphalt]

QM Note: You cannot use a Phoenix Essence on yourself. And yes, you have to be level 10 to equip a second Artefact. Skeleton_ are you able to connect regularly now?

The Scarecrow clacks his fingers together mockingly.

Heroes come out to Play, Heroes come out to Play-ay.

[BountyBeast]

Hunkan peeks out from his hiding place, surveys the situation, and decides to play it safe. He attempts to sneak up and stab at the scarecrow from the back row.

[Skeleton_]

<Yes, I can regularly connect now.>

[Palathadric]

Just as I select my target, it falls and instead of it, the face of a terrifying scarecrow loomed in its place. I give a scream of fright, and shutting my eyes in fright, I reach for my sword, feeling the combined power of two Slimy Swords instead. I swing at the scarecrow with my eyes closed. Back Row.

[Asphalt]

Qm note: still need an action from Kidd. Also Skeleton_, if you are going to be able to post at least once a day, I will work you in after this battle is over if no one has an objection. Can't blame you for a storm.
