Heroica RPG - Quest #104: Ace Assassin: Dual Dragoons

[KotZ]

OoC: I'm assuming the rats as "vermin/undead" and "undead minion" also fall into the undead category of only elemental attacks can harm them?

QM Note: Correct.

Diana glances nervously at Kiray.

"...maybe the two of us should stop attacking? I don't think there's much either of us can do to improve the situation." Diana sounds extremely frustrated by her own impotence.

QM Note: Correct.

Diana glances nervously at Kiray.

"...maybe the two of us should stop attacking? I don't think there's much either of us can do to improve the situation." Diana sounds extremely frustrated by her own impotence.

"I agree, I just wanted to feel useful," Kiray returned.

Kiray does nothing from the back row.

[samurai-turtle]

Hides in the back row. Wile mumbling to himself: These "beeps" are going to get me killed.

"...maybe the two of us should stop attacking? I don't think there's much either of us can do to improve the situation." Diana sounds extremely frustrated by her own impotence.

"I hate it," Actaeon says, blatantly. "I'm supposed to lead and I can't even do any damage!"

Hides in the back row. Wile mumbling to himself: These "beeps" are going to get me killed.

"Calm down. I just healed you. You didn't even take damage."

[samurai-turtle]

"Calm down. I just healed you. You didn't even take damage."

Let me tell you something, never tell a angry person to "Calm Down", it just PISS THEM OFF MORE.

[Actaeon]

Let me tell you something, never tell a angry person to "Calm Down", it just PISS THEM OFF MORE.

Actaeon raises an eyebrow but doesn't respond. Alright then, he thinks.

[Siercon and Coral]

Siercon saw the party quickly getting depressed and tired from attacking seemingly unkillable opponents. He figured he'd make some quick suggestions and encouragements

Kiray: "Your Shield ability works really well! It allows us frail mages to get in close and cause more than double damage. I can 50% chance 1 hit KO any of them, but they can do the same to me... unless they are stunned."

Actaeon: "You have a good possibility to steal gold from anyone who carries gold regardless of if you do damage (Shield ability)... Doesn't help us much, but you could end up with some pocket change" (this works for Germ)

Germ: "If I were you, I'd probably just throw and retrieve that wrench over and over again... still helps a ton!"

Mallelio: "Keep it up!"

Warlen and Quarion: "keep it up as well, you're doing great chipping away at these guys!"

Denerri: "Keep attacking one of the weaker units at all times in hope to cause your elemental shield damage to all enemies. The higher you fly the more powerful it can be! That would be super helpful. "

OoC: Rangers can do that?

Fine. Wrench @ "branch & vine guy" from back row (repeatedly) I am not going to revive more monsters.

Ah, no my bad, that's for you! :P So just an added bonus for wrench throwing? :P

[Actaeon]

Actaeon glances at Diana after Siercon shouts encouragement. "Looks like we're still the only ones who can't do anything."

[Flipz]

QM Note: Again, I'd normally auto-roll this, but we can't move forward until Monday or Tuesday anyway, so just the one Round.

>Denerii flies (back): No Flying (Denerii: flying multipliers reset to 1x)

>Siercon (Light, Lullaby Wand) vs. Dark Druid (staff) (back): Great Spell (Dark Druid (staff): 8*2=16+9=25*2*2=100 damage (KO! Undead minions also KO'd); Siercon: -1 Ether)

>Mallelio heals Dark Druid (staff) (branch and vine) (back): Heal (Dark Druid (branch and vine): 1+18=19 damage; Mallelio: -1 Ether)

Denerii fails to fly, but the rest of the party manages to rally; Siercon blasts the staff-wielding druid to cinders, causing his two minions to crumble as well; Germ, meanwhile, thwacks the other druid with his wrench, jarring it slightly. Warlen conjures up a mighty cyclone, using it to fling Quarion into the last druid's face for some damage, while Mallelio easily switches targets to heal some more unlife out of the branch-wielder.

One final enemy remains. The battle continues!

Party Leader, choose the order of action.

All of you, choose your targets and the row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, heal or cast a magic spell, or if you want to use an item instead of attacking.

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

QM Note: As a reminder, undead enemies can only be damaged by elemental attacks or healing (any element works, so long as they are not otherwise immune to it). Effects from weapons (i.e. poison, level reduction, etc.) will still be transferred even if the attack does not deal any damage.

[samurai-turtle]

I might as well get my dang Wrench. Lets finish it off.

Edited August 17, 2014 by samuraiturtle

[KotZ]

Kiray does nothing from the back row again.

[Siercon and Coral]

Siercon attacks the Dark Druid (branch and vine) from the back row with a light spell.

"Mallelio, I'll attack first, that way if he's KO'd you can either heal me, or save your ether."

Edited August 17, 2014 by Siercon and Coral

[The Chosen Minifigure]

Ooc: I'm back!

"Nice one, Q.

All right dudes and dudettes, let's finish this!"

Quarion pretends to be a salesman so the others can finish him off.

"Hello, would you like to buy some wind? I assure you, you'll be... blown away!"

Warlen casts a wind spell from the back row.

[Actaeon]

"Well done, you three. We're almost rid of the dang druids!"

[Flipz]

QM Note: Once again, CHECK ME! I think I managed to increase all the correct stats, but do tell me if I'm wrong. We'll move forward when everyone's ready or when the next set is completed, whichever is later.

>Denerii flies (back): No Flying (Denerii: flying multipliers reset to 1x)

>Mallelio heals Siercon (back): Heal Less (Siercon: 18 HP healed; Mallelio: -1 Ether)

Denerii again fails to fly, but Siercon finishes off the fight with a powerful burst of Light magic. For a brief moment, the gray gloom of the forest seems a little bit clearer, before closing in on the Heroes once more.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!

All party members except Denerii and Mallelio gain a full level of experience; Denerii and Mallelio gain half a level! Siercon reaches Level 10 and may now equip up to two Artifacts!

As the light of Siercon's spell fades, they slowly realize that Germ is no longer with them. Furthermore, in the chaos of their battle, they had lost track of their path entirely. It seems the Lost Forest was living up to its name.

Party Leader, please divide the spoils of battle.

Staff of the Dark Druid (WP:5, Wood-elemental; staff) (suitable for mages, clerics, Artisans, Necromancers, and Regulators)

Hood of the Dark Druid (wearer absorbs Wood- and Darkness-elemental damage; headwear, suitable for druids only)

2x Stun Bomb (Deals 5 damage and the Stunned-effect to all opponents when used.)

2x Venom (Use on a weapon to make it cause the poisoned by 1-effect on any enemy it hits for the duration of one battle, making the poisoned enemy lose 1 health each turn. Several venoms can be used to increase the effect.)

2x Deadly Venom (Use on a weapon to make it cause the poisoned by 10-effect on any enemy it hits for the duration of one battle, making the poisoned enemy lose 10 health each turn. Several venoms can be used to increase the effect.)

2x Remedy (Removes all negative effects from the target.)

2x Trial Brew (Halves the drinkers max HP, max ether, and max SP for the duration of one battle. These effects are irremediable. Surviving a battle without getting knocked out in this state nets you double EXP. Being revived after being knocked-out removes these effects.)

Sleep Bomb (Deals 5 damage and the Asleep-effect to all opponents when used.)

40 gold

Denerii flaps her wings loudly, finally catching the party's attention.

"Heroes! When I flew, I saw for a moment the smallest glimpse of smoke and flame. I can lead you to its source, if you wish."

"If I might be so bold to suggest, perhaps we ought to prepare before we move ahead? It could be the Dragons."

"I'm down for that. Even if it's not them--which I doubt--with the demon gone who knows what's going to come after us?"

"I have to admit, I was surprised to learn that Heroica had accepted the service of a demon amongst its ranks. I trust the Dragonlord's judgement, however."

Diana shrugs.

"No offense, but I don't. Some of the Veterans get it, some don't. He's one of the latter. Don't expect me to go chasing after the stupid demon he sent with us."

"His intentions were appalling, but his actions swayed true--and we would be no better if we chose to abandon those of our own flock! We should not treat him like an enpeesy, for we are more noble than that! We must locate our money-grubbing friend before some terrible fate befalls him!"

"...I'ma just come out and say it: lady, you're wack." Diana leans over and whispers to Kiray and Actaeon. "Between all the time we wasted at the Rito Settlement instead of saving Domus and her blatant insanity, I'm beginning to think bringing her along was a serious mistake."

Thunder crashes above. It seems a storm will be upon the Lost Woods soon.

"See, the Voice in the Sky agrees with me."

QM Note: Not necessarily.

What does the party do?

[Actaeon]

Actaeon leans back to Diana and whispers back, "If nothing else, she is a warrior. She'll be very useful against the Dragons."

Actaeon considers their options. "I don't believe Germ to be an evil... demon," even as he said it, he felt like the words completely disagreed with themselves. "We could use him in battle, but it seems that he has made his own choice. We should move forward. The demon is clever. If he wants to join up with us, I'm sure he can find us."

LOOT

"Siercon and Warlen, you two can split the hood and staff. One for each, the decision is up to you."

Actaeon- 5 gold, stun bomb, deadly venom, trial brew

Kiray- 5 gold, Remedy, trial brew, stun bomb, sleep bomb

Diana- 5 gold, venom, deadly venom

Siercon- 10 gold, sleep bomb

Warlen- 10 gold,

Germ 5- gold, Remedy, venom

"Kiray, as one of our stronger members, I'm leaving you with the most bombs. I get the feeling we'll need them," turning to Diana, "When we face those dragons, me and you are going to shoot them down with our deadly venom-tipped weapons," he says, vengeance evident in his voice.

Actaeon also hand his 5 gold back to Warlen, leaving him with none. "Thanks for the lend!"

[Siercon and Coral]

Siercon stepped up to the hood and staff. He noticed that neither of them could wear the hood. So, he picked up the staff and tossed it to Warlen. "I think you'll find this better than yours and it has a gem that you don't have. Neither of us can use this hood, but I'm willing to >>Take it<< pay some money to get it dissected, and I have neither of these elements... Sound fair?"

He then pondered Germs disappearance... and dawns Sylvania's Cowl.

Edited August 18, 2014 by Siercon and Coral

[Flipz]

QM Note: The hood absorbs the damage (converting it into HP), rather than just being immune to it; thus, there are no gems to remove to it. Sorry, should have made that clearer.

[KotZ]

Kiray accepts the loot from the battle. "I agree, Actaeon, I actually was going to ask for a few of the bombs just in case," the female knight said.

She then leaned in close and whispered to Diana and her party leader, "Well what's done is done, we just have to press on and quickly. Like you've said we've lost too much time. At least we have some weapons and an extra person with us."

[Siercon and Coral]

QM Note: The hood absorbs the damage (converting it into HP), rather than just being immune to it; thus, there are no gems to remove to it. Sorry, should have made that clearer.

Ah, well bummer. Ok I'll still go with current action unless Warlen would like something else.

[Flipz]

Actaeon leans back to Diana and whispers back, "If nothing else, she is a warrior. She'll be very useful against the Dragons."

Actaeon considers their options. "I don't believe Germ to be an evil... demon," even as he said it, he felt like the words completely disagreed with themselves.

Diana- 5 gold, venom, deadly venom

Siercon- 10 gold, sleep bomb

Warlen- 10 gold,

"Kiray, as one of our stronger members, I'm leaving you with the most bombs. I get the feeling we'll need them," turning to Diana, "When we face those dragons, me and you are going to shoot them down with our deadly venom-tipped weapons," he says, vengeance evident in his voice.

Actaeon also hand his 5 gold back to Warlen, leaving him with none. "Thanks for the lend!"

Diana nods, her gaze cold as ice.

"Done." Diana applies a Venom and a Deadly Venom to her Precision Bow, then drinks a Mead, a Smelling Salts, and a Nostrum.

Kiray accepts the loot from the battle. "I agree, Actaeon, I actually was going to ask for a few of the bombs just in case," the female knight said.

She then leaned in close and whispered to Diana and her party leader, "Well what's done is done, we just have to press on and quickly. Like you've said we've lost too much time. At least we have some weapons and an extra person with us."

"Let's hope that's enough, then."

Mallelio takes a moment to heal himself, Diana, and Denerii at the cost of 3 Ether.

QM Note: I just realized I never told you, but the two Rito Feathers in Denerii's inventory are consumables that grant the Blessed- and Hastened-effects to the user. Please also note that there was only one Sleep Bomb in the loot.
