Heroica RPG- Quest #96: Tying up Loose Ends

[Sandy]

"Hey lady, those compliments might work better if ya didn't follow them up with a request right away, eh? But sure, sure, I'll help, I mean, why else would I be here? So convenient, am I right? Got some food? A certain kittycat might be more interested in helping if ya got 'em some food."

Ellaria purrs softly. "[My apologies, but we are here on a mission. I did not bring any food, but I can get you lots of it afterwards. We just need to find a human woman that is being held captive here. Do you have any idea where they might keep her?]"

[Zepher]

Boomingham blushes slightly. "Ah. First my brain's going, now my eyes. Looks like you're even more clever than I give you credit for!

[Scubacarrot]

Skrall

"Yes I do have a meeting, but I thought I'd quench the parched throat before doin' my business. 'Sides if the muscle in the corner can afford a drink or two, can't imagine it'd be out of my price range. Maybe second shelf then?"

"They are drinking water. I could offer you a cup I suppose. Who did you see it was you were meeting here?"

Ellaria and Atramor

"Wine ain't food, boy, and not good for a cat. Human Women? Like you? Plenty around here. But not exactly right here, you know?"

Nyx and Boomingham:

Results of Round 1 of the Sewer Showdown.

Boomingham vs. Abe - Deflected Damage - Deflect!

Nyx vs. Sewer Cobra - Greater Spell- Unexpected Result! Nyx becomes confused. Nothing happens

Free hits:

-A and C bite Boomingham, Boomingham poisoned by 10, suffers 10 poison damage.

-Nyx is immune to poison.

What Nyx and Boomingham identify as a bone elemental charges Boomingham right away, but he is saved by his shield. Nyx prepares a good strong spell, when suddenly the alcohol goes to her head. The alcohol that she drank last night. Somehow. Nyx must not be able to hold her liquor very well.

"Job referall. Said I was supposed to meet those hirin' upstairs in this fine establishment. Looks like it'll be a good paying one too from the looks of this place. Have that water ready for me if you don't mind and if there's anything stiff this'll get me. Keep the change." Skrall put 75 Gold down on the counter and made his way upstairs, popping back a Mead as he went.

Nyx vs. Sewer Cobra - Greater Spell- Unexpected Result! Nyx becomes confused.

OoC: Nyx is immune to Confused, so I therefore assume the spell works perfectly?

[Scubacarrot]

OoC: Nyx is immune to Confused, so I therefore assume the spell works perfectly?

No, therefore nothing happens instead.

"Job referall. Said I was supposed to meet those hirin' upstairs in this fine establishment. Looks like it'll be a good paying one too from the looks of this place. Have that water ready for me if you don't mind and if there's anything stiff this'll get me. Keep the change." Skrall put 75 Gold down on the counter and made his way upstairs, popping back a Mead as he went.

"I don't think so. We don't do hiring upstairs for muscle. I demand to know a name or I am forced to have you seen out... Hey where are you going come back here! GUARDS!"

The Hobgoblin moves in on Skrall, spear forward...

But then a stern voice is heard:

"WAIT. Wait. It's alright, he's with me."

The man stands up from his seat, and leads Skrall away, to an empty table. The man took a pitcher of wine from his table, and poured Skrall a cup.

"It was only mostly a lie. We've met before, briefly, if I recall correctly. My name is Maxis, well met. It's better to have introductions than to have Rio there get hurt... You're obviously here for a reason. Perhaps we can help each other... Starting by, we all heard the bang outside, nothing terribly unusual, I am afraid to say, but I would still like to know what it was?"

[Sandy]

"Wine ain't food, boy, and not good for a cat. Human Women? Like you? Plenty around here. But not exactly right here, you know?"

"[What do you mean? Who are those people on the other room, do you know? Gosh, you're such a sweetheart for helping us out!]"

OoC: Sweettalking always works on cats, in my personal experience.

[Scubacarrot]

"Yeah, Yeah, Whatever lady. Those chumps? Working for this place. Guards, you'd call them. Just in the way, I'm sure, sure. You want to get through that door to get to the women. The key is probably with the guards, I've been stuck here for a while now, eh. Say, think ya can open the door for me so I can go outside?"

[CMP]

Atramor pulled off Sylvania's Cowl and replaced it again with his helmet as Ellaria's meowing became incoherent.

"Looks like our best shot leads through those guards. It's just two, though - I bet we can take 'em."

[Sandy]

"Yeah, Yeah, Whatever lady. Those chumps? Working for this place. Guards, you'd call them. Just in the way, I'm sure, sure. You want to get through that door to get to the women. The key is probably with the guards, I've been stuck here for a while now, eh. Say, think ya can open the door for me so I can go outside?"

"[Thank you for all your help, cutiepie. We will probably be going out through that same door in a short moment, so just sit tight.]"

Ellaria switches back to human tongue, and turns to Atramor. "Let's go, Atramor. We have a few guards to tackle."

The pair enters the room the guards are in.

[CMP]

Atramor inhaled a Mulled Wine, and followed Ellaria.

[Waterbrick Down]

"It was only mostly a lie. We've met before, briefly, if I recall correctly. My name is Maxis, well met. It's better to have introductions than to have Rio there get hurt... You're obviously here for a reason. Perhaps we can help each other... Starting by, we all heard the bang outside, nothing terribly unusual, I am afraid to say, but I would still like to know what it was?"

Skrall narrowed his eyes at the bartender "Who said I was bein' hired fer my muscle?"

Before the Hobgoblin got himself killed, Skrall paused a moment at Maxis' reaction before joining him. "Indeed we have met thought it's been a few months. Garlin. Saw some smoke coming from an alley, imagine yer bang came from that. Concerning my reason fer bein' here, I have some business to discuss upstairs. Any idea why everyone's so touchy about the fact?"

[Zepher]

Boomingham repeats with a grimace. "Let's see if we can't scratch them this time!"

[Pandora]

Nyx bursts out in a fit of giggles as her spell fizzles. Seeing the look on Boomingham's face, she falls silent.

"Sorry, I have no idea what happened. I think someone spiked my drink maybe. Let's, as you say, try this again, but this time I'll be more cautious I think."

Nyx readies a Wind spell through her Lullaby Wand at the Sewer Cobra from the back row.

Battle Order:

Boomingham vs Abe

>Nyx (Sapphire, Lullaby Wand) vs Sewer Cobra

[Scubacarrot]

Before the Hobgoblin got himself killed, Skrall paused a moment at Maxis' reaction before joining him. "Indeed we have met thought it's been a few months. Garlin. Saw some smoke coming from an alley, imagine yer bang came from that. Concerning my reason fer bein' here, I have some business to discuss upstairs. Any idea why everyone's so touchy about the fact?"

"Hehm. Smoke in an alley. Alright then, if you say so. Upstairs huh? I hold no love for this place and do not spend much time here, but I know this: Upstairs is where the girls reside until they are called down. This is that sort of place." Maxis sighs. "It's not slavery, and completely legal. But then again, so is slavery... I reckon they are touchy about the fact because customers are supposed to stay down here, there's no tables and stuff here. I know that something is up when I see it, Garlin. And you are up there beyond the roof and further. Am I wrong? As I said, I can help you, and you can help me, I reckon. You're from Eubric. You arrived on the Armoury last time, if I recall correctly? And I do happen to know that the Armoury was a ship from Eubric. Judging by your arms, I judge you higher than a common sellsword, but still a sellsword. You lack dicipline or the equipment to be from an organized fighting force. You're from Heroica. Tell me, what brings a Hero of Eubric to Strivvi? Twice?"

Ellaria and Atramor:

Before moving in, Atramor and Ellaria take a peek in the room, and notice there's more than two people in the room, do they still want to blindly charge forward?

"Could have opened the door for me so I can get out before you start hacking each other to pieces..."

Nyx and Boomingham:

Results of Round 2 of the Sewer Showdown.

Boomingham vs. Abe - Special Guard - Boomingham takes 30 damage, Tunnel Snake E joins the battle.

Nyx vs. Sewer Cobra - Damage - 40/2-8=12 damage

Free hits:

-A and C bite Boomingham, Boomingham poisoned by 10 more, suffers 20 poison damage.

-Nyx is immune to poison.

The Bone Elemental brushes off Boomingham's charge and hits him hard across the temple, and calls forth another Snake, The Sewer Cobra leaps up at Nyx, who is pushed back as well. More poison snakes get the better of Boomingham, who is knocked out!

[Sandy]

Ellaria holds Atramor back and whispers: "Two against five, don't you think that's a bit too much? But we can't back down now, so best get prepared"

In preparation, Ellaria consumes a Smelling Salts and Soma, and applies a Deadly Venom to Ignis Fatuus. She then waits for Atramor to prepare before charging into the room.

[Scubacarrot]

Russus is also there.

[Sandy]

Russus is also there.

Ellaria hears a soft clearing of throat behind her, and is startled to see Russus standing there.

"Sorry, Russus! I meant three against five, of course. Hehe..." Again, the blush creeps to her cheeks.

[CMP]

"I've faced worse odds," mumbles Atramor, downing a Nostrum, an Ambrosia, and sniffing some Smelling Salts. He then hands 2 Grand Potions, an Elixir, and the Essence of Ridicule over to Russus.

Can we get some stats for Russus?

"Also, ya' should try and use that Scroll of Inspiration on yourself and Russus. We're gonna need every advantage we can get."

Also, you might wanna save that Mead, I think Ellaria is already encouraged (and reinforced).

[Waterbrick Down]

Skrall turns to Maxis, thinking it best to shoot straight. "So you've heard of Heroica? Yes, I do hail from Eubric. I have good reason to believe that one of those 'girls' is being held against her will. My job is simply to see her free. I've got nothing against whatever business they're doin' here long as it's legal, but I ain't a fan of folks doin' said business against the will of others. Might I ask what business brings you here, if this be one of those rare occasions? Also, know any way of gettin' uo there without causin' a public disturbence?"

[Pandora]

Nyx swears coarsely and imaginatively under her breath as Boomingham falls.

"I think you were right about the smelling salts, Larry." she mutters wistfully "I'll get you up soon, I hope. Right then.."

She takes a deep breath, making sure she's standing back, and digs out her Smelling Salts, taking another deep breath to inhale them. Appraising the situation, she once more casts a Wind spell through her Lullaby Wand from the back row, but this time at Abe.

Battle Order:

>Nyx uses Smelling Salts

>Nyx (Wind, Lullaby Wand) vs Abe

[Sandy]

"Also, ya' should try and use that Scroll of Inspiration on yourself and Russus. We're gonna need every advantage we can get."

Also, you might wanna save that Mead, I think Ellaria is already encouraged (and reinforced).

OoC: Good call! I edited my last post accordingly.

Before rushing ahead, Ellaria also uses the Scroll of Inspiration on herself and Russus for as many times as she requires to inspire both of them.

[Zepher]

Boomingham drools on the floor in the most heroic way possible.

[Scubacarrot]

Can't get the new battle up at the moment, Flickr is acting up. Tomorrow!

Nyx and Boomingham:

Results of Round 3 of the Sewer Showdown.

Nyx uses Smelling Salts

Nyx vs. Abe - Greater Spell - WP: 6 x 3 + 30+1 = 49 damage dealt.

Free hits:

-Sewer Cobra vs. Nyx - 12 damage

-Nyx is immune to poison.

Nyx manages to inflict some minor damage upon Abe, but takes a hit herself too. Maybe a different type of magic would be more effective against the undead?

Please state your actions. NYX is also the temporary leader, and as such should also provide the battle order.

Skrall turns to Maxis, thinking it best to shoot straight. "So you've heard of Heroica? Yes, I do hail from Eubric. I have good reason to believe that one of those 'girls' is being held against her will. My job is simply to see her free. I've got nothing against whatever business they're doin' here long as it's legal, but I ain't a fan of folks doin' said business against the will of others. Might I ask what business brings you here, if this be one of those rare occasions? Also, know any way of gettin' uo there without causin' a public disturbence?"

Skrall

"Hmm. I see. I am here to treat with some captains that informed me their continued support for me needed more enticement. I am here to convince some greedy merchants that they should vote me for Viscount. I think those negotiations are about finished, I'll leave the rest to my advisor, Edward. Surely you've heard of Strivvi's political struggles, ghastly stuff that. Quick version: My brother thinks he can do a better job than me, the mage, and the city is in turmoil for ten years. Anyways, how about we both go up there, I'll help you sort out this business with this girl, and in return you help me do another thing... Later.... No one is going to question their future viscount. You people don't work alone, do you?"

Barty winks into existence next to Nyx.

"Throw a bomb that'll wipe out the snakes, get Lawrence up," he instructs suggests curtly.

Boomingham takes a swing at Abe from the front row upon being raised (assuming he is).
