Heroica RPG - Quest #99: Six Thousand Feet Under

[Endgame]

"So you defy us?"

"They could've been yours, safe in your... possession."

"Tut, tut... Poor decision. Such a poor decision. I guess we have no choice, do we, boys?"

The oculoids take two of their tentacles and use them to strangle their captives, grabbing onto their necks and holding on tight. The thralls are just as happy as ever, despite barbed tentacles practically chocking them to death.

Their tentacles surge and drop with ether. Each one emantes an aura of their respective element, the room becoming chilly and blurry... This wasn't going to be easy! They party draws their weapons and surge forwards, ready to fight the Oculoid scum.

Prepare For Battle!

"Master Grimwald, heal Charles and then use your remaining three actions to Sleep Umbraloid and Blind Cryoloid--if both those succeed on the first try, Frail Cryoloid. Lady Erdathcath, if you could swap out your amulet for another Artifact (perhaps your Mage's Muffler?) and then throw that horseshoe, we'll be in a much better spot. Minoid, it's best if you use that Quick Bow to attack Umbraloid twice, from the back. If you hit any of the miners, though, heal them instead of attacking again."

Arthur uses a Dragon Scale on Grimwald and then throws his Gladiator Trident at Umbraloid..

Battle Order:

Arthur

Arthur

Minoid

Minoid

Grimwald

Grimwald

Erdathcath

Erdathcath

OOC: If Minoid rolls a SHIELD on his first action, his second action moves to below Grimwald's heal, and should be to use a Grand Potion on Brittany unless Charles wasn't healed, in which case he should use it on Charles.

Edited May 8, 2014 by Flipz

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald heals Charles, then tries to put the Umbraloid to sleep - if he's successful the first time, he Blinds and Frails Cryoloid. If not, he keeps on trying putting him to sleep until successful.

[The_Customizer]

Erdathcath switches her Amulet for her Mage's muffler, and throws the Unlucky horseshoe at Cryoloid. Back row. "We may look weak now, but just you wait! Let's get them boys!"

[Endgame]

QM Note: I'll run the round in half an hour, 99ers.

[Endgame]

QM Note: Sorry for the delay!

Also, some notes:

-The Minoid will attack the miners with his shield skill, but only if that miner will not be killed by the attack. If the blow is fatal, he will not strike.

-Tell me if you want Roots of Life/Miracles to include the miners.

OOC: I'd say yes to Miracle, as far as Roots go...hmm...I'll say yes as well, even though accidental un-Sleep-ing would be annoying.

"Lady Erdathcath, don't worry about healing me--focus on the Cryoloid. Minoid, I could use that Health Core. Master Grimwald, I'm entrusting you to keep the other two asleep if they wake up--otherwise, feel free to join in the attack on Cryoloid."

Arthur throws his Spider Leg at the Cryoloid, trying again if he fails the first time, or throwing his Swift Halberd as well if he is successful. If Cryoloid is dead, throw Gladiator Trident at Photoloid until successful, then retrieve.

Erdathcath focuses her attack on Cryoloid, attacking him twice from the back row with her handcannon (super deadly venom on it). "Cryoloid, prepare to meet your doom!"

[Endgame]

"We must you scheme so much, skirmisher? Why must you hurt our beloved masters?!"

"I am but another pawn in my master's game... if you destory me, another Oculoid will take my place... That is how it was meant to be. How it always will be! Now, die in the cold's embrace! You're a druid - you should know better than anyone else: only the strongest survive in winter! Now tell me, you wooden freak... Do you have enough to put down my brethren and I?"

>Erdathcath VS the Cryoloid (back): Damage Damage Aim Critical Hit (15x2=30+20=50x8=400-26=374) (374-189=185 gold overkill)

>Arthur VS the Photoloid (back): Hit (11+31=42-15=27 damage)

>Arthur retrieves his weapons

>Grimwald VS the Umbraloid (back): Damage Critical Hit (8x2=16+13=29x2=58 damage)

>Grimwald VS the Umbraloid (back): MIss Critical Hit (8x2=16+13=29x2=58 damage)

>The Photoloid and Umbraloid awake...

The Cryoloid recieves a beyond thorough beating. Erdathcath shoots at him twice, both shots nailing him squarely in the eye and sending him flailing backwards.

"GGGGnnnaaaAAAaaaauughhhhhhHHHhhhh!"

With one last pain stricken scream, the Cryoloid bursts, killed. The miner he had brainwashed slumps to the floor, unconscious. The other two Oculoids awake from their slumber as they are bombarded by Arthur and Grimwald.

"STATEMENT: We have slain one Oculoid. The other two miners are in the critical, as well as Grimwald. QUERY: What is our next course of action?"

"Why do you keep talking, little robot? I feel greeeeaaaaatt..."

"Never felt better! All thanks to the Oculoids!"

"No. Brother!"

OOC: Fire does 2x to Ice. Fragile means 2x. In the Back Row with me means 2x. Cryoloid dropped Overkill, Photoloid is Bleeding, and Grimwald wasn't damaged.

"Master Grimwald, heal each of those miners please. On your Scroll turns, Sleep the Umbraloid. Lady Erdathcath, if you could kindly blast the Umbraloid once or twice with that lovely poisoned handcannon, that'd be most helpful. Minoid, you're on deck to Remedy any of us who get Hexed this Round."

Arthur throws his Swift Halberd at Umbraloid. If his Artifacts are unequipped, he re-equips all of them except for his Cloak of Deception; otherwise, he de-equips his Cloak of Deception.

Battle Order:

Arthur

Grimwald heal Brittany, then Sleep Umbraloid

Grimwald heal Derrek, then Sleep Umbraloid unless Umbraloid already Asleep, in which case no scroll action

Erdathcath if both miners healed and Umbraloid Asleep, handcannon vs. Umbraloid; otherwise, heal whichever miner wasn't already healed

Erdathcath if both miners healed, handcannon vs. Umbraloid; otherwise, heal whichever miner wasn't already healed

Minoid (if Arthur or Erdathcath Hexed, use Remedy on Hexed hero, priority on Erdathcath; if neither Hexed, use Grand Potion on miner with lowest HP [in case of a tie, Brittany])

OOC: ...drat, thought that would merge.

Edited May 11, 2014 by Flipz

Erdathcath uses her Handcannon on Umbraloid, twice, back row. "Cryoloid has fallen, Umbraloid, you are next!"

[LordoftheNoobs]

"Urgh, I do not feel so great right now... at least I was able to tear that thing there a new piehole... and a half, aheheh..."

Grimwald goes along with Arthur's plan.

[Endgame]

>Arthur VS The Umbraoloid (back): Special Damage (Shadowy Sludge: All heroes are doomed!)

>Arthur dequips his Cloak of Deception (back)

>Grimwald heals Brittany (back): No heal Heal Less (13 HP healed)

>Grimwald catss Sleep on the Umbraloid (back): Failure!

>Grimwald heals Derrek (back): No heal Heal (8+13=21 HP healed)

>Grimwald casts Sleep on the Umbraloid (back): Failure!

>Erdathcath VS the Umbraloid (back): Special Damage Hit (15+20=35x2=70-7=63 damage)

>Erdathcath VS the Umbraloid (back): Special Damage Critical Hit (15x2=30+20=50x2=100-7=93 damage)

>Minoid uses a Grand Potion on Brittany (back)

>Photoloid VS Arthur (back): 45/2=22-40=0 damage

The battles rages on. Arthur attempts to skewer the Umbraloid, only for the demon to unleash a flurry of black plasm onto the heroes. The party is practically drenched, the toxic substance slowly seeping into their veins, the ailment soon to become fatal...

"Do not trifle with the power of the Oculoids!"

Grimwald heals the miners, but fails in putting the Umbraloid to sleep. Erdathcath delivers 2 swift blows with her handcannon, the shots not being nearly as fatal as the ones against the Cryoloid.

The Photoloid lashes out at Arthur, but Arthur blocks the attack with his reinforced shield. Plasm splatters off of the Photoloid... and seeps into Arthur's skin.

"Ohohohohohohohohoho! It seems like little Arthur here is not nearly as different from us Oculoids as it would appear! I don't suppose any of you vermin saw that?"

"I did, Master... It sunk right in!"

"Now tell me, heroes, why would this little beauty lie? You're hiding something, skirmisher. And I know what it is."

"Death awaits you!"

OOC: Ah, another slip-up: Arthur threw his Gladiator Trident at Photoloid and then retrieved it; thus less damage to Photoloid, but it's Bleeding.

Arthur growls. "Frail 'em and Sleep 'em, Grimwald. I tire of the sound of their voices. Lady Erdathcath, you're on healing duty."

Arthur uses a Grand Tonic on Grimwald from the Back Row, then uses a Remedy on Erdathcath, also from the Back Row.

Minoid uses the Remedy from the Hollow Blade Dagger on Grimwald, then uses another Remedy on himself, both from the Back Row.

QM Note: Fixed. May I request that you make your conditionals like that a darker shade of gray from here on out? I have a tendency to gloss over them when they're so light.

"Wonderful job avoiding the accusation, skirmisher."

"Wonderful job avoiding the accusation, skirmisher."

"Don't ask questions you won't like the answer to, monster."

"We're mind readers, you demented ijit - we know already. To the contrary, we can't get enough of this answer! It's delicious! But isn't it unfair to withold it from your comrades? Or perhaps even you realize what you are? Because I can spell it out, if you like. I can tell you your each and every horrific failing, and how the all relate to your current condition. Would you like that, skirmisher?"

"Umbraloid, whatever dark secret he has, it does not phase me, he could even be an oculoid for all I care, the truth of the matter is he is making the right decision, and is on the correct side of the law here. I don't see him holding anyone hostage, so what could you possibly tell us that would make us think lesser of him?" Erdathcath heals Brittany and Derrek, back row.
