Heroica RPG - Quest #77: Your Elves are Better than Ours

[Flipz]

"Then may our paths cross again, A-Turburtus."

Arthur gets up and edges out of the bar, being careful to avoid both the battle and Ellaria and Avialyn until he is outside.

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen turns around, realising she had stepped between Baelanith and Throlar.

I am glad I was not struck whilst talking.

Throlar. This fight is yours. I have no wish to interfere.

Nerwen does nothing

Battle order

> Throlar attacks Baelanith

Nerwen does nothing

How do I handle Boomingham as a hero assisting the enemy?

Lawrence! You are standing on the wrong side of the room there! Put those swords up and let the dwarf finish what he started.

[Zepher]

Boomingham laughs at the elf. "Here I was hoping you were a reasonable chap." Boomingham also steps back from the combat and looks over at Alexander. "Sorry, I'll be with you in a moment, hunter." Boomingham does nothing.

QM Note:

Boomingham is a third group in the battle right now. He could attack the heroes to try to stop them from fighting Baelanith, he could try to help them defeat Baelanith, he could do nothing and let things play out, the heroes can attack him, they can ignore him... but none of you can leave the battle without Fleeing or using a Smoke Bomb.

Party Leader, choose the order of actions.

All combatants, choose your targets and the Row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, move, heal, cast a magic spell, use an item instead of attacking, or attempt something else outside the box.

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

Ellaria and Alvialyn are almost at the Meeting Hall when Arthur catches up to them.

"Is everything alright, Mr. Regulus?" Ellaria asks. "I hope so, since I reckon we need all our concentration if we are to convince those elves inside that building. Alvialyn, do you know any of them personally?"

"No, I've been working with Lord Normorn ever since I came of age. I did have an unpleasant rivalry with one of Lord Keveak's spies, Lord Davril, but he died at Bric'Bay."

QM Note:

I've got to go home and get the picture of the meeting hall set, then come back to where I am now where I have working internet. Couple hours, and I can move you along.

"Nothing wrong, per se, but if anyone asks, you two hired me, a mercenary named 'Regulus', as an aide. Made a friend in the bar, but implied I wasn't a Hero; if people see me as independent, they might open up to me more."

"No, I've been working with Lord Normorn ever since I came of age. I did have an unpleasant rivalry with one of Lord Keveak's spies, Lord Davril, but he died at Bric'Bay."

"I remember him. He seemed to have a fixation on me, as I recall. Not exactly pleasant, was he?"

[Brickdoctor]

"I remember him. He seemed to have a fixation on me, as I recall. Not exactly pleasant, was he?"

"He tended to spy even on his fellow elves, taking advantage of his cloak that could make him invisible, letting Lord Keveak know ahead of time of what other elves had planned so that Lord Keveak could beat them to it and take credit for the idea. It made him annoying and impossible to trust."

When your knocks are not answered, you push gently on the doors of the hall, and the creak open easily. The hall is about a hundred studs in length, built in the same style as the Dragon's Head Tavern was, with wooden pillars down the length of its central hallway. At the end of the hallway, you see a large stone chair set against the wall.

Almost throne-like in appearance, the chair is flanked by a pair of small tables and a pair of pedestals. One of the pedestals supports the remains of a statue of a knight that has since toppled over and now lies in pieces across the stone floor; the other is now being used as a stand for a keg of some beverage. Down the length of the hall run some long tables improvised from doors and planks set on short stools. An elven coat of arms and banner hangs askew above the chair, and chandeliers hang from the rafters, half of the candles lit, half of them smoldering. Bottles and goblets lie strewn across the floor and tables.

The hall is conspicuously devoid of people, and, save for the occasional crackle of candles, silent.

"Once, the wealthy merchants who founded R'kilf fancied themselves knights-errant and protectors of the village. With lances in lance-racks, old bucklers, lean hacks, and a greyhound for coursing, they held court in this hall. Whenever they were at leisure, which was mostly all the year round, they gave themselves up to reading books of chivalry with such ardor and avidity that they almost entirely neglected the management of their property."

Nerwen rolled her eyes

I am glad you are good with your shield, but we really need to find you a better weapon.

Nerwen sits at a nearby table to watch Throlar and does nothing to intercede inthe fight

Battle order

Nerwen does nothing

> Throlar attacks Baelanith

assuming Throlar wins, where does Boomingham stand in relation to XP?

[Brickdoctor]

QM Note:

He wouldn't gain any since he wouldn't be on a winning side, just surviving having done nothing. If he attacks Baelanith, I'll let him switch over to the party's side and he can get XP.

[Zepher]

OoC: Don't you want me to get my training in as well, Chromeknight.

"This is taking too long. We have places to be and people to see. Tell you what, Elfy, I'll try not to kill you. Take note, squire." Boomingham lunges at the elf from the front row with Scupperer, but is careful to not kill him. "I'm sorry, Nerwen. If you'd like the little chap to get more training, he can spare with me. But I don't think we'll be handing this city over to the elves in any case, considering the state they seem to be keeping it in."

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen lurched from her seat

Fool! Put up that blade! The armour the elf is wearing is no match for that. Helvetia! You could probably take him out using your bare hands without effort.

I was actually asking simply to clarify. Not in order to provoke kill-stealing! I am conscious of the level gap. But given this is a BD quest, perhaps I oughtn't be.

"I respect you as a leader, dear, but I can't have you stop my every action. The dwarf can learn by example. And I'll be light."

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen let out an exasperated sigh.

If you must then. But make it clean. No sense giving this poor barkeep more work.

Attempting to run a Round from a phone... color hex codes memorized, BBCode committed to heart, *deep breath*, hopefully I don't make a mistake and have to sift through the code of this post later on this tiny screen.

Throlar, you decide to raise your shield again, seeing your more powerful allies coming in to attack. But not to be outdone, Boomingham, out comes you angel instead; Barty taking Throlar's place in front of the party as if to say, 'This is what immunity looks like, newbie.'

Party Leader, choose the order of actions.

All combatants, choose your targets and the Row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, move, heal, cast a magic spell, use an item instead of attacking, or attempt something else outside the box.

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

QM Note:

I'll autoroll in about fifteen minutes if you haven't posted actions. Want to make sure the posts won't merge, because if I make a mistake, I don't want to have to edit the post on a phone when there are two Rounds in a post.

[Chromeknight]

Well done BD. no format errors that I could see.

Be happy your mobile screen isn't cracked! Happily my iPad is in my bag.

Nerwen exhales in relief.

Barty! I am glad to see you. Do keep Larwrence from doing anything he might regret.

As for this battle. Perhaps we should speed things along.

Leaning her staff carefully against the table, she steps forward barehanded and punches Baelanith in the face.

Throlar

Nerwen

Boomingham

I've selected an action, but I think it would be fair to assume Throlar and Boomers will attack from the front row, what with shields up and all

[Brickdoctor]

Results of Round Ten of the Brawl in the Dragon's Head:

Throlar Wineghilm vs. Baelanith - Critical Hit ((3*2)+1-1=6 Damage)

Nerwen Calmcacil vs. Baelanith - Special Damage (Elven Harming; No effect)

Lord Lawrence Boomingham vs. Baelanith - Damage (No effect)

Baelanith - Poisoned (1 Damage)

With Barty and Throlar's shield protecting you, you all charge forwards, Baelanith's counterattacks being blocked and rendered harmless as he takes damage.

The Enemies:

Baelanith

Humanoid

*Poisoned*

Level:

5

Health:

0/12

Defense:

1

Special I:

Elven Harming

- Baelanith's elven reflexes and precision allow him to find a weak spot in the target's defenses, and he deals 10 Damage.

Special II:

Elven Healing

- Baelanith's elementary knowledge of elven healing techniques allows him to restore 5 HP to himself.

Drops: Elven Sword

Note: Specials alternate. Baelanith's broken fingers decrease his current HP and his ability to wield a sword effectively. If healed to full HP, his Level will increase back to 5.

[Flipz]

OOC: Hate to do this to you...but Baelanith should be Poisoned.

Pulling out his Magnifying Glass, Arthur examines the throne, followed by the coat of arms. "Where is everybody? You think the Pogs got 'em?"

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen's eyes narrow and she steps back quickly as the elf flourishes his blade. The wild movements clash against the shield of Throlar beside her. Looking for another opening she is slightly surprised as the elf's visage turns greenish and he keels over.

Rounding on the knights she says with some heat,

Well. What was that all about?

I assume that, as Flipz pointed out, the poison from the hit in round 8 subtracts 1HP in rounds 8,9 and 10, leaving Baelanith KO'd by round's end

[Brickdoctor]

QM Note:

Ah, you're right. I'll edit the posts for the Rounds I've already done, and then I'll end the battle in a couple hours when my computer is at a place that has internet.

Pulling out his Magnifying Glass, Arthur examines the throne, followed by the coat of arms. "Where is everybody? You think the Pogs got 'em?"

You can see no traps in either the throne or the banner. The throne appears to be just a seat with no malicious funtions, and the banner appears just to be one of a victorious conquering army, hung carelessly on the wall.

[Sandy]

Pulling out his Magnifying Glass, Arthur examines the throne, followed by the coat of arms. "Where is everybody? You think the Pogs got 'em?"

"That, or the elves threw one heck of a party last night. Although I didn't take elves to be this messy", Ellaria whispers back. She doesn't dare to raise her voice, but looks around to see if there is someone present, perhaps hidden by a toppled table or something.
