Flipz Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 OOC: Unfortunately, I believe Skrall's attack would have healed the Jun-Chi to maximum health, since his bow is also Fire- and Wind-elemental. "Miirym!" Arthur scowls at the willful reptile, but the expression is hidden as usual by his concealing helmet. "Atramor, think you can finish off Chie? I'd like to put Skrall on Bangu next." Arthur switches to his Clockwork Lance from the Back Row, realizing that a Slow here could mean the difference between life and death for the party. Battle Order: Arthur Atramor Skrall Skrall Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 OoC: As Flipz mentioned, I believe elemental damage would heal the Jun-Chi, in which case I would assume Skrall would either switch weapons or attack one of the other guards. There's no existing rule as to how the case should be handled, so I'll be fine leaving it to your judgement. Also 723 Gold from the overkill. Skrall reloads and fires at each of the Azure Guards from the back row. Quote

Waterbrick Down Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Skrall fired another arrow at the archer from the back row. If his first shot suceeded he'd switch to the Jun Chi from the back row with his Oversized Greatsword. "It'd be a little more handy if you were down here, Regulus." Quote

The Littlefinger stepped forward. "Well done, boys! It is time for the final player in this game to step to the field." The counsellor turned to his colleagues. "I am sorry to tell you that I made all this possible. Being in charge the nation's treasury, I have been funding the efforts of the two Lady Ji Peis and the Tritech Corporation. Nothing pleases me more than to be rid of you four pompous clowns." "This cannot be..." "Traitors, all of you!" "Well played, Littlefinger. I thought you were my friend..." "So it truly is over for the Council of the Blue Hand. What happens now?" "That really is an excellent question, counsellors, and it will require a lot of negotiating. However, you four will not be part of those talks. You will be exiled from Xu for crimes against it's people. Many people would rather see your heads roll, but too much Aoi blood has been spilled today. My hands are soaked dark blue." "We did what was necessary for our people's future, Shanxian. The blood is on all of our hands." "I know... Vincent, have your automatons escort the four counsellors to the prison to await for their banishment. The rest of us should go assess the damage we've done in this place." Shanxian glanced at the heroes with sadness in her eyes. "Or will you three follow me anymore?" Quote
Flipz Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 OOC: I don't think the Chaotic Bomb was supposed to drop. Was it by any chance meant to be one of the other artifacts...? Loot Division: Skrall - Grating Stone (from Battle Flow), Smoke Bomb (from Battle Flow), Composite Bow, 30 Gold Atramor - Silver katana Arthur - Blue Hand Shield Miirym perches haughtily upon Lady Shanxian's shoulder, as if daring Arthur to make her return to his side. That's...not a good sign. What sort of example must I be setting for her? He sighs. "Many sacrifices have been made to bring about this end. Perhaps not all of them were necessary. But in the end, it would go against everything I hope the new Xu will stand for not to face up to the consequences of our actions. I am still with you at least, for good or for ill." OOC: WBD, Arthur gets a flat 1000 out of the Overkill, you and Pie get 1044 each. If either of you are disappointed with the loot, let me know and I'll try to come up with a fair solution. Quote
CMP Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 That's fine, I figured that anyway. I'm okay with the loot. Atramor stared down at the mass of blank-faced guards strewn across the floor. McCafferey turned her beady eyes onto the regulator. Slowly, Atramor turned around, his expression angry and confused. "What the hell was this, Shanxian?" The regulator looked around at the carnage in the Council's chambers. "So what then? The Tao Brotherhood, all 108 of those Stars. They all died for nothin'? You paid us for the head of their leader, and...here we are, doing exactly what they...doing everything we killed them for tryin' to." Atramor motioned around with his hand, still clutching the blood-red Pheles Kris tightly. "How many times? How many times has this happened? Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 "I'm still with you, mam. But Atramor's right, how many and where does it stop?" Skrall handed 1000 Gold to Arthur and 1044 to Atramor. Quote
Sandy Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 QM Note: You're right, the Chaotic Bomb shouldn't have been dropped because Jun-Chi was decamodified. Also I have to note that poor Skrall did all the (over)killing, yet ended up with the least amount of gold in total. But that's of course between you three. "What the hell was this, Shanxian? So what then? The Tao Brotherhood, all 108 of those Stars. They all died for nothin'? You paid us for the head of their leader, and...here we are, doing exactly what they...doing everything we killed them for tryin' to. How many times? How many times has this happened? Shanxian looked down in shame. "Realizing the truth took me countless days and nights trapped on bed, unable to move anywhere. Master Kai Tsi was right all along, but his methods made him look like a mass murderer. I don't know if I fared any better, but at least I managed to form enough alliances against the Council - even one inside the Council - so that the revolution would be as swift and efficient as possible. It was Jun's captivity that gave me new perspective. I fear what his reaction will be once he hears about this..." The group then left the carnage in the Council Chamber behind. At the entrance hall, the automata had lined up along the walls. The spymaster and the weather mage were there as well, being the only survivors of the bloodbath. The front doors opened at that moment, and two nagas slithered into the hall. "Raja Serpior, Rani Shiveta. We are honoured by your presence." "Ssspare the cordialitiesss, Lady Ji Pei. My wife and I are here to sssee that the war between our nationsss isss finally concluded." "There isss sssurely a lot to dissscusss, but can we do it sssomewhere elssse? Thisss place reeksss of blood." "Nothing comes without a price, Your Serpentine Majesties The White Ninjas of Nagashan performed flawlessly, so now is our turn to keep our end of the bargain. Please, let me escort you to my private palace for further negotiations." "I will join you momentarily." As the nagas departed with the single remaining counsellor, Maiwei took Shanxian's hand. "Will you be alright, sister-in-law?" "Yes, dear Maiwei, you just worry about all the politics. You always were the better one at that. You and the Littlefinger have a lot to do. I wish I could do more." "You did plenty enough. You should not have come here in the first place - it only put you at an unnecessary risk." "And miss seeing the revolution I initiated? Don't be silly. Go, now, before the Littlefinger manages to insult the nagas and ruin this whole alliance." The two Ji Pei women hugged, and Maiwei walked out. Shanxian then gave the Arkenstone to Vincent. "You know what to do with this, my monsignore. I want to thank you for agreeing to this, as well." "My inventions have caused too much damage to this land for me to allow it to continue. If it is alright with you, I will remain in Xu for the time being to see that everything goes smoothly." The inventor shook the Arkenstone. "And that this does not fall into wrong hands. We can expect resistance and counter-measures from those who are still loyal to the Council, but gladly their numbers are few. Dr. Gioconda will take you back home on the Destiny's Bounty." "I wish you luck, Vincent. My family could not have gained a better friend." "Glad to be of service, milady." The inventor then left, taking his automata with him. Only Spymaster Tanooki and Weather Mage Sun Qui remained with Shanxian and the heroes in the vast hall. The dead silence was in stark comparison to the lively hubbub the heroes heard when they first stepped inside the House of the Blue Hand. "So, anyone care to tell us what happened here? Why was the Council walked out in chains?" "It'h look'hs lik'he there has been a change in p'hower, Sp'hymast'her. We are luck'hy t'ho be alive t'ho see it'h." "Yeah, we have you people to thank for that. Why did you bother saving us two while the others were killed?" What would the heroes respond?

CMP Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 "It doesn't matter." Atramor used a torn bit of his coat to wrap his bleeding forearm, still weathered from the battle. "You're here to witness the death of an era and the birth of a new one. Make sure it wasn't for nothin' - Lady Ji Pei could put your talents to good use." He looked over at Tanooki. "You're the Spymaster, right? Keep doin' what you're doin'. I don't imagine this change in leadership will go over well with everybody, if ya' get my meanin'." The regulator turned to Shanxian. "I take this to mean Legonardo is removin' his inventions, from what I understand it caused a lot of grief to some of the other races in Xu. I doubt ya' need me to tell ya' this, but ya' should inform the Brotherhood of Chi and the kappa of what's happened here. They lost two good men. From what their ambassadors said, the kappa are upset about the pumps and windmills and the Brotherhood needs donations. If ya' could help them out, I'm sure that'd help smooth things over." "And for what it's worth...I understand why this all happened. A lot of innocent people died here, but...this is about as peaceful as a revolution could get when ya've got that Council involved. I hate to admit it...but this was probably all for the best." Quote

Truth be told, I never cared for the blueskins bossing me around - no offense, Lady Ji Pei. Now I'll get to be bossed around by people of varying skin colors. That's something, at least!" "I shall spread news of this t'ho the Circ'hles of Magi. But'h before I dep'hart, is there anything I can do t'ho reward you for generously sparing frail old me? ...Ah, I believe there is!" The Weather Mage takes out a blue book out of the pocket of his robe. "This is the t'home I spok'he with you about'h, Sir Dragoon; 'Begone with the Winds'. It'h is yours." "Hey, wait a minute! If we're giving gifts here, I don't want to be overshadowed!" The spymaster patted his pockets. "Uh, you can have... this! It's an ethertech spyglass. It will detect spies and eavesdroppers in your vicinity if you use it. It apparently reads their mindwaves or something." The two men gave their gifts to the party before bidding their farewells. Begone with the Winds (Grants the holder access to the Weather Mage expert job class upon reaching Level 30.) Spyglass (Reveals if there are spies and eavesdroppers in the vicinity when used; tool) "I take this to mean Legonardo is removin' his inventions, from what I understand it caused a lot of grief to some of the other races in Xu.

Shanxian nods. "It is our purpose to make Xu a better place to live for all of it's inhabitants. Instead of a council of five Aoi, the new council will have representatives from each of the 26 provinces. The Tritech Corporation will begin to dismantle the ether pumps and windmills from the regions where they cause disturbance to the nature, but much of Xuese technology is dependent on them. We have to make sure this revolution means going forward, not backwards." "I am sure Lee will be devastated when he hears about the fate of the revered Guru. He and the Kappa ambassador were unintentional collateral damage, and I wish there would have been time to stop and save them as well, but I really had to rush to the Chamber with the Arkenstone, and I doubt I would have come out of there alive without you, with Guard Captain Raijin putting up such a good fight with the automata. I owe you my life." "If you have any more questions, let us discuss them on our way back to The Destiny's Bounty. We have changed Xu enough in just one day. It is time to go home." Quote

Begone with the Winds (Grants the holder access to the Weather Mage expert job class upon reaching Level 30.) Ethertech Spyglass (Reveals if there are spies and eavesdroppers in the vicinity when used; tool) Arthur quickly uses the Ethertech Spyglass to search for spies and eavesdroppers in the area before passing the device to Skrall, also passing back the two Phoenix Incenses Skrall had loaned him. He takes a quick look through the book the Weather Mage had just given him. Hmm...I wonder... he looks to Miirym, still perched on Lady Shanxian's shoulder with all the arrogant regality as if she had been crowned ruler of Xu instead of the new Council. She's not ready for this, he sighs to himself. She's caught up in the glory of battle, neglecting the spiritual side of her training. Does she even hear me, I wonder? Miirym makes no sign to indicate she was listening to the Dragoon, preening her scaly wings lavishly without any care in the world. Her aloofness was not entirely genuine, however, and she begins to cough and gag when she inadvertently nips a few strands of Shanxian's hair instead of her own wing. Arthur smiles a little. Still a child, he reminds himself, even if Dragons do age differently from us. Still a child...and still unready for battle. He had a choice to make when he got back to the Hall--or, perhaps, when he visited Number 14, Heron Street... Yes. It's time. He pockets the book, calls Miirym--who, thankfully, responds this time--and turns his attention back to the others. Shanxian nods. "It is our purpose to make Xu a better place to live for all of it's inhabitants. Instead of a council of five Aoi, the new council will have representatives from each of the 26 provinces. The Tritech Corporation will begin to dismantle the ether pumps and windmills from the regions where they cause disturbance to the nature, but much of Xuese technology is dependent on them.

I owe you my life." "If you have any more questions, let us discuss them on our way back to The Destiny's Bounty. We have changed Xu enough in just one day. It is time to go home." "Home sounds pretty good about now. Gentlemen?" "What, we're not taking the Azure Ark home?" Arthur jokes with a chuckle. "Home does indeed sound like a good idea. You've answered nearly all of my concerns, Lady Shanxian, and for that I am grateful. While perhaps we could have done more to spare the innocent, I think that ultimately our actions here today will prove to be for the best." "<I would have been happier with more shiny objects. Like an automaton. Or twelve.>" "Hush, Miirym. Show some humility." "<'Hush, Miirym.' Is that all you say?>" "Miirym. We are guardians of the world, not its conquerors. We are pieces in a larger game, not the players commanding the board. Perhaps when we return to Eubric, to the day-to-day life of the city, you will be reminded of how small we actually are." "<Small pieces that have a big impact on the game.> "Yes. We are. But think for a moment about what that means." Miirym falls silent for a moment, before spreading her wings and taking to the skies--hopefully, Arthur thinks, just returning to the Bounty on her own. But I will grant her that freedom. She needs the space. He sighs and continues forward with the rest of his party. Edited January 6, 2015 by Flipz Quote
