Vash the Stampede Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Dreyrugr pulls out his scythe, making sure not to cut the bola's, and pulls himself up by hooking it onto the dangling end.
Myrddyn Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Erik looks to see if the crate next to the barrel is under the catwalk, and if he can reach it from the barrel. If so, he jumps to the barrel.
Palathadric Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 How come the barrel in the far right slipped down? And Pretzel should not have taken damage due to the protection of the Guardian Angel. I carry the beam on the floor to the vacant space from where the barrel rolled down and lean it against the "catwalk" as Erik called it. "Druid, keep him busy, if you can raise Nessa up, all the better." Battle Order: Erik Dreyrugr Pretzel >Sylph
CMP Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 How come the barrel in the far right slipped down? The hand of God was clumsy. It should still be up there.
Palathadric Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I open the faucet of the barrel (assuming that's how it works ) slowly. "Maybe this will help us..." Dreyrugr uses Pretzel's cart to boost him up if he's not tall enough.
Vash the Stampede Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Dreyrugr climbs up on Pretzel's cart to reach the bola's. Only cause I can see a number of things going wrong with a scythe.

You have a reduced chance of eviscerating your own weapon, but an increased one for Pretzel smacking you in the face with a Steak for getting your demon germs all over his stuff.

Pretzel spies Dreyrugr mounting his cart and riding it a short ways. "What the devil?!?" "Steak at the ready!"
Palathadric Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 "Take control of the crane, if we can seize that the future looks rosier." Can we damage the enemy without targeting him? i.e. breaking the boards under his feet so he falls through, dropping something on his head, etc
CMP Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Round Five of Black and Blue Erik Dreyrugr Pretzel >Sylph vs. Blue Assassin (Shrapnel Bow) - Damage (40/2 - 5 = 15 damage) Sylph is hit with another of the assassin's many throwing knives. Erik lunges to the next crate over, and is just barely able to get atop of it and stand, no longer stuck underneath the catwalk. Pretzel opens the barrel, a stream of honeyed mead guzzling out of the spigot. Dreyrugr moves Pretzel's cart over to where it's directly underneath the bolas. Nessa bleeds all over the floor. Cat and Mouse - The Blue Assassin is attempting to escape. The heroes have five ten rounds to reach and engage him in physical combat. The timer will reset after the next engagement ends. - Rounds are run normally, but heroes have more freedom over their actions, such as examining or moving objects in the environment. - The heroes may attack the Blue Assassin with ranged weapons only at all times, but it will not count as an engagement. - If the Blue Assassin is not targeted, he will still deal free hits. He can be targeted with melee weapons, but nothing will happen. Enemies Blue Assassin Prodigy *Eight rounds until escape* Level 40 Dark Humanoid Health: 799/994 Special I: Bolas to the Feet – Blue Assassin Prodigy tosses throwing bolas, entangling the hero, dealing the Bound and Slowed effects for the duration of the battle until remedied.

Special II: Bladestorm – Blue Assassin Prodigy rains the party with throwing knives, doing 20 damage, ignoring row to each of them. Can only be used once per engagement. Special III: Shroud – Blue Assassin Prodigy becomes invisible, making them unable to be targeted for the duration of the round. At the beginning of the next round, they will pull the hero that rolled Special Damage into the darkness, causing them to be Blinded for the next 3 rounds and Stunned. Blue Assassin Prodigy will attempt to flee immediately after doing so. Passive Special I: Deflect – Successful hits and spells on the Blue Assassin Prodigy have a 1/6 chance of being deflected to a random ally.

Palathadric Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I fail to notice Dreyrugr moving my cart and mounting it to climb onto the catwalk. I sniff and taste the sweet mead before targeting the Assassin, if I can't do both in one turn I just target the assassin from the Back Row with the Flying Cross. "Druid, heal yourself. Erik, attempt to mount the catwalk. The druid's got you covered. Demon...what the devil do you think you're doing. Off that...!" Battle Order: Pretzel Dreyrugr Erik Sylph Nessa? Can we damage the enemy without targeting him? i.e. breaking the boards under his feet so he falls through, dropping something on his head, etc
Vash the Stampede Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) "Demon...what the devil do you think you're doing. Off that...!" "If it pleases you, and even if it doesn't please you I'm using it to get up to the Assassin, unless you'd rather boost me up." Dreyrugr climbs up to the catwalk. Edited August 21, 2013 by Vash the Stampede
Palathadric Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Pretzel is so flustered, he's at a loss for words. Holy oil! Holy oil! Holy oil! Where is it when I need it?

Palathadric Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 "Mead! Don't let it go to waste!" Erik yells, pulling himself onto the catwalk. "Don't slip and fall as you mind other people's business." I holler back. "Get up there, but wait before dealing the debilitating blow. Once we take control of the crane, perhaps we can come up with some interesting methods dealing with out blue friend." You can absolutely come up with creative ways to damage him. Awesome.

Dannylonglegs Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 "Do what you can to get to him. I'll keep chipping away at him." Sylph stated as he loaded another arrow into his bow, firing it at the assassin from the back row of the action. His dismal cloak billowed behind him in the nonexistent wind.
CMP Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Didn't make much sense for the Blue Assassin to use Shroud while not engaged, so I've added it to the wording of the special. Round Six of Black and Blue Pretzel vs. Blue Assassin (Flying Cross) - Special Guard: Bolas to the Feet (Pretzel is Bound and Slowed) Dreyrugr Erik >Sylph vs. Blue Assassin (Shrapnel Bow) - Shield: Roots of Life (Nessa revived, negative effects removed, 34 health restored to everyone, -1 ether) Nessa Sylph begins to draw more plants up from below the warehouse as Nessa starts to come to. Dreyrugr and Erik both manage to get up onto the catwalk, but luckily the Blue Assassin is too busy flinging more bolas at Pretzel to notice them.

herrJJ Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) The spirit of nature brought life back to Nessa. She was revived, again, by the power of nature. Was there something more she did not know right now; or even not wanted to know? Besides all those thoughts in her mind Nessa got up and tried to get an overview of her situation. "Thank you, Sylph. You are quite into this flower thing, aren't you?" Nessa looked for a rope nearby. In case she found one she would tie it onto an arrow and fire it up to the hanging barrels in order to climb on the plattform. Edited August 23, 2013 by herrJJ
Palathadric Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Umm...is it just me, or has the picture not changed. I taste the mead to see if it had any status-boosting effects. I then check what's in the half-barrel under the assassin. "Rangers, fire away. Erik, grab onto the crane and see if the demon can lift you up to where that giant cauldron is." Battle Order: Pretzel Nessa Erik Dreyrugr Sylph
Dannylonglegs Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 "A Druid respects nature, and nature shows its gratitude. You might consider it. It is a tough road, and for you, it would likely entail sacrifice, but to hear nature's untainted song... that is worth the price." Stated Sylph, in a rare moment of paternal/maternal tone. He fired his bow at the assassin again.
