Heroica RPG - Quest#125: The Dollhouse

**Sandy** · March 23, 2015

"Intruders? You're the one who's been hiding out here all of these years, bending the rules of life and death. We were called to help Lilly fight the nightmares that you were causing! And you really expect that you can teach a 7 year old to hold the immense power that Ziegfried had?"

"All in good time. And time is all I have. Lilly here does not have the same luxury."

"Lilly, don't stay here with him. How long will it be until you see your family again if you stay here? You've already proven to us and to yourself just how strong you really are, and your family knows how strong you are. You don't need this ghost to turn you into a monster like Ziegfried was in the story. You think he knows what's best for you? He doesn't even know you! All he has been doing is hiding from you; hiding from everyone for years. I don't trust him for a minute, and neither should you,"

"My family aren't monsters!" Lilly retorted. "Well, except that one time we all got turned into living furniture... But anyway, I'm not sure I trust him either. I mean, he looks like my great grandfather from the paintings, but this could all be some kinda trick. I know all about tricks."

Arthur looks up confusedly, then attempts to draw out the family tree in mid-air, eventually using his Diamond to assist in his midair writing and trace the relationship. "Er, sorry, Great Uncle," he amends. "My apologies, I only recently learned of my heritage--I still have a lot of catching up to do."

"I don't think you should stay. But no matter what, I'll do everything in my power to help and support you. Because that's what family should do."

"So you are one of Valentine's bastard sons, then? That's an ever better reason to not count you as family." The ghost then turned his attention back to Lilly. "If you find it hard to trust me after what I have put you through, then there are a few other souls here that might be convince you more."

Two more wizards appeared on Fahrenheit's both sides.

"My doll! I am so proud of you!"

"It is so good to finally meet my beautiful granddaughter. Zed has told me so much about you."

"Grandpa Zed! And... grandmother Sycamore? What are you two doing in my head? I didn't know there was a whole family reunicorn going on inside me!"

The three ghostly wizards were suddenly encircled by a sparkling magenta light. They all smiled at Lilly and extended their arms.

"Come with us, doll. Let us teach you everything you need to know."

"You are the only one of my grandchildren I have ever met. There is so much to talk about!"

Lilly's eyes swelled up and a big smile spread to her face. She seemed to be ready to run to her grandparents' waiting arms. What would the heroes do?

The mist... It was him, it had to be. All those years ago, on his first quest. Althior turned to Lilly as fast as he could. "Lilly, you may not want to hear it, but you need to know that Zed and Sycamore sold their souls to Abraxas, and I can only assume that's what happened to Fahrenheit as well. You're not going with them if you leave, you're going with the Archdemon. I was there that day: when you were turned into furniture. I saw first hand what Abraxas did to your whole family, and what Zed did too! It was this purple mist that signaled his work. It creeped out of the fireplace and it took you all. That's how it got me, and that's how it's going to get you,"

He breathed in, slowly, "You want to be powerful? Like Ziegfried was? Then don't give in to this demon. Stay back and fight it, with us,"

"Do not listen to them, little one. They are not family, they do not understand the immense power we carry within our heritage."

"Yes, just send those meddlers away so we can catch up on old times, doll."

"Family comes first, no matter what."

Lilly closed her eyes to gather her thoughts.

"You are right, family comes first.... But you are not my family. You are just some illumations sent by Abraxas to nemapulate me! So why don't YOU just go away?!"

"Ahh, I was afraid it would come down to this... I see now that you are not the True Heir of Ziegfried after all. But no matter, we will find another one. Maybe your cousin Morgan, she's a smart one..."

"NO! I'm not a dummy, and I certainly am not some archdemon's dummy!" Lilly raised her fist and her enchanted toys surrounder her like an army. She then glanced at the heroes. "Heroes of Heroica, it is time to get rid of the ghosts of the past!"

"Your insolence will be punished, brat!"

"Sorry to say, doll, but we will be the last family members you will ever see."

Fahrenheit whistled, and the ruins of the dollhouse shook as a great, three-headed hound rummaged through them to the wizard.

"We know your greatest fears, so you cannot even dream to win us. Cerberus, get them!"

"AWWWOOO!"

PREPARE FOR THE FINAL BATTLE!

QM Note: If you flee or Lilly is knocked out at the end of the battle, the quest will fail. Good luck! Here's some battle music to get you in the mood. :wink:

OOC: Do the ghosts still get a Free Hit if Sealed?

Arthur feels the demonic power surge within him, and the Weather Mage quickly realizes that he and his companions are in for a rough fight. He equips his Shadeaux Cloak, then casts Blind on Cerberus, before taking a moment longer to determine his best tactical options.

Flipz · March 24, 2015

"You know, it's ironic--just a few short years ago, you could have misled me like you have tried to do to Lilly. But now? We are the Heroes of our time, and though we're dancing with the demons in her mind, you are nothing before us, much less before her. You are a fool, Great Uncle Fahrenheit, and you will lose--all of you."

Arthur allows his skin to begin to glisten with the inky blackness of his true form, diverting some of his energy away from his habitual disguise to better steel himself for combat.

On Arthur's second turn, he attempts to cast Blind on the Cerberus again (or Fragile if it's already Blind). If there are untargetted ghosts, Arthur throws a Seal Bomb; if the ghosts are gone, however, he begins to forecast a Dim weather.

Althior grins. "After all these years, it comes down to this, demon," Althior takes a Nostrum from the Back Row. Lilly then uses a Smelling Salts from the back row on Althior, who then casts Darkness on Zed from the Back Row.

QM Note: Since the ghosts use a Special attack as their Free Hit, sealing prevents it but not blinded.

"Alexis, you might want to equip your Quickdraw Quiver and Counterstrike Gloves and my Duplovian Helmet and then swing your Death's Whip at Sycamore from the Back Row if you would be so kind."

Masked Builder · March 24, 2015

"You are so bossy." Alexis equips her quiver, counterstrike gloves, diplovian helmet, then swings Death's Whip at Sycamore from the back row.

The Ziegfried family members bolster their defenses at the end of the round. The heroes are faced with a total of ten enemies now.

Should Alexis have her HP doubled? It shows that she's wearing the bear suit.

Althior draws back as one of the Cerberus head snaps at him, only to be caught by another one. He quickly gets to his feet, tossing his Skadi Bomb towards the Beast. Equestria follows, attacking the Cerberus as well. He then uses his second turn to repeat his action against Zed, as Lilly takes a Grand Tonic from the Back Row. "Arthur, I would try and forecast some weather for us until it works. Alexis, see if you can't hit either Sycamore or the Dog. Do it from the back row at least for now to save yourself some damage. Maybe use the Hand Cannon?"

"Go for it, Lilly--once you've got a bit more Ether, of course."

If the weather is not Dim, Arthur attempts to forecast a Dim weather; if it is already Dim (or an earlier forecast is successful), he casts Darkness at Fahrenheit from the Back Row.

**Sandy** · March 26, 2015

Should Alexis have her HP doubled? It shows that she's wearing the bear suit.

QM Note: No, the artifact only doubles base and class bonus health (not health gained from levels or equipment), which have been doubled since she equipped the suit.

Also, I forgot to adjust the health and SP of the enemies after the last round.

K-Nut · March 26, 2015

"Alexis, you should take Sycamore both times. Even if you trigger her resurrection, my bomb should take care of it. You can survive a hit from the dog if you try using the hand cannon,"

Flipz · March 26, 2015

"Put me first, then--if I target Fahrenheit on my first action I can eat the dog's hit no problem. You can then stick my weather action at the end."

Arthur first casts Fragile at Cerberus then Darkness at Fahrenheit from the Back Row. If he takes damage, for his second action he drinks an Elixir, otherwise if the weather is not already Dim he attempts to forecast Dim weather. If he has not taken damage and the weather is already Dim, he casts Fragile at Cerberus (or Blind if already Fragile) and casts Darkness at Fahrenheit again.

Results of Round Two of the Final Battle:

>Arthur uses Scroll of Frailty on Cerberus - Success (Cerberus: fragile; Arthur: -1 ether)

>Arthur (Darkness) vs. Fahrenheit Ziegfried - Mist/Damage (Fahrenheit: elemental immunities nullified for one round; Arthur: -1 ether)

>Alexis vs. Sycamore Ziegfried - Special Damage (Rise Ye Undying! - One ghost joins the battle; Sycamore: -1 ether)

>Alexis vs. Sycamore Ziegfried - Shield (Grim Reaper - no effect)

>Althior uses Skadi Bomb - (Fahrenheit: 1468+10 SP-100 dmg=1378 health; Zed & Sycamore: no effect; Cerberus: 958 health-(100x4=400 dmg)=558 health; All ghosts: -100 dmg, knocked out)

Equestria hits Cerberus - (Cerberus: 558 health-(50x4=200 dmg)=358 health; Lilly: -5 ether)

>Althior (Darkness) vs. Zed Ziegfried - Damage/Spell (Zed: 1127 health+5 SP-(56x2=112 dmg)=1020 health)

>Arthur uses Scroll of Blindness on Cerberus - Success (Cerberus: blinded; Arthur: -1 ether)

>Arthur forecasts Dim Weather - Shield/Great Forecast (Disaster - Weather will become dim for the remainder of the battle; Arthur: -1 ether)

>Lilly uses Grand Tonic on herself - (Lilly: +15 ether)

Cerberus - Free Hit vs. Arthur (no effect)

Family Pride - (Fahrenheit, Zed, Sycamore and Lilly: +5 SP)

Arthur's spellcasting proves to be more successful this round, as he debilitates the Cerberus so Althior and Equestria can cause serious damage to it. Alexis fumbles with her attacks, allowing Sycamore to summon one more ghost, but Althior's bomb destroys all seven ghosts in one fell swoop. It also damages Fahrenheit, since Arthur's mist made him vulnerable for a while. The Cerberus is not able to deliver a hit, but the Ziegfrieds keep on piling up their defenses. Upon Arthur's prediction, darkness falls upon the dreamscape.
