Heroica RPG - Quest #127: A Light in the Darkness

[Zepher]

"I can hold just fine," grunts Yu Shu, but most of the fight has gone out of her. She nods sleepily to Nerwen and Grimwald. "I'm glad to see you alive, heroes. You too, Marcellus. The kobold was my fault. You'll have to allow me to repay you in some way, if I live to see the outside."

[LordoftheNoobs]

"I am glad to see you alive still too, Yu Shu. Let's hurry this up so you stay that way."

Grimwald repeats.

[Chromeknight]

There's still Simon to deal with, and however many troops stand between us and the exit. Let's not count coins til we're out,

Battle Order

Sir Able - heal Pretzel

> Nerwen v. Enemies - Angelic Aria

Marcellus v. Burning Knuckle - Whip

Avery v. Burning Knuckle - Dagger

> Pretzel v. Burning Knuckle - Flying Broomstick

> Grimwald v. Knuckle - Darkness

Kiray v. Burning Knuckle - Katana

> Samuel v. Pretzel - Heal

[Palathadric]

"Splitting up was a bad idea," I say, glaring at Marcellus. "And as far as Simon, whoever he is, is concerned, this may be his lucky day to live. Yu Shu has got to get out at all costs no matter what the circumstances."

[KotZ]

Kiray repeats. "What's done is done, it's in the past. We can lament about what we should or should not have done, but I would prefer stopping this knuckle and getting Yu Shu out of here. We can formulate a plan after this."

[Zepher]

Round Four Regroup Fight

Sir Abel heals Pretzel - Heal 16

> Nerwen sings Angelic Aura - 36-SP Damage, -4 ether, Fancy Foot KO'd

[KotZ]

Wouldn't Kiray be level 15.5, since you gain half a level when you're 10-19?

Kiray sheathes her sword. "Everyone alright?"

[Palathadric]

"That's over, but we've still got a ways to go, haven't we, Sir Abel? Would you mind healing me up, by the way? Thank you kindly for your support."

I cough.

"Grimwald, I managed to pick something out for you that should prove mightily useful," I say, handing Grimwald the Single-Fanged Staff, casting a glance at Nerwen for approval.

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen nods.

Thank you for your help. Do you remember how you got here or will we need to navigate the maze of passages still?

[Palathadric]

"No, we should be able to get out fine. Gocklo, apparently, left quite the bloody trail."

I hand the rest of the Stored Loot to Nerwen.

"I kept some of the stuff that we had expended, consumable-wise, kept a piece of Armour that no one can use, and gave Kiray some armour and weapons that only she can use, but the armour is nothing better than she already has."

Suddenly remembering the Enzima Armour, I try it on in place of the Cloak of the Barbaric Rune Caster.

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald accepts the staff.

"Thank you, very useful indeed I'm sure."

[Palathadric]

"Are we ready to go? Abel, should we go out the way we came?"

Pretzel trudges off, digging sullenly and finding an old gold bar.

Round Three Burning Angel Battle

>Pretzel digs for treasure - Gold Bar

I think I should have two Gold Bars.

[Zepher]

OoC: To keep things fair, I will have Samuel heal you - otherwise Abel is a never ending healing outside battle, and has no cost.

"There's only one way out." He sighs heavily. "This has been a long night. I just want it to be over."

The heroes limp down the hallways with Abel in the lead. Yu Shu's breathing gets heavier, and Pretzel gets another case of the dizzies though it passes quickly enough. Conversation stays... minimal. Morta bounces along next to Kiray, stealing glances at her every once in a while.

"You're the most boring heroes I've ever met," she remarks finally. "I heard you guys had in fighting. And that demons sometimes corrupted your minds. And that there were all these debates about morality. There's been just none of that! The only twist so far was that little kobold running off."

"Does she go on like this long?"

Ahead of the heroes, a dark figure darts through an archway and leans against it. The heroes are shocked to see Deborah, breathing heavy and dripping blood.

"Oh, you're still alive. Good." She searches the group. "What the Hel happened to you? Where's Mitchell and Gocklo?"

[Chromeknight]

Infighting. Demons corrupting minds. Debates about morality. Nerwen says flatly.

Sure we have those. But there's been a lack of demons this quest. And of moral issues. And it's a bit hard to fight party members when removed from them. Nerwen shrugs. Yu Shu is the one directing this jaunt, blame her.

Reaching Deborah, Nerwen holds up her hand. A greeting and also a signal to the others that a single reply would be sufficient.

Gocklo fled with one of the witches, Deci was her name I believe. Mitchell fought beside us against a burning knuckle. He nearly fell in combat and his constitution was not strong enough to heal himself as it usually would have been. Perhaps there was some other force at work. Nerwen looks at Morta briefly. We gave him the means to heal himself but he would accept no assistance other than the coup dé grace, holding himself shamed since he had failed to prevent Gocklo from betraying us. We did not count him so and would have yet fought alongside him.

I am truly sorry for your loss

[Palathadric]

"There's only one way out." He sighs heavily. "This has been a long night. I just want it to be over."

"So do," I mumble to Abel, then glance at Yu Shu, "at least most of us."

"You're the most boring heroes I've ever met," she remarks finally. "I heard you guys had in fighting. And that demons sometimes corrupted your minds. And that there were all these debates about morality. There's been just none of that! The only twist so far was that little kobold running off."

"If you don't keep your comments to yourself, we will soon have reason enough to argue and it will be over whether or not we off your head. You have only Yu Shu...and Nerwen I suppose, to thank that it's still attached. Don't make us change our stance."

"Does she go on like this long?"

"If she does there is an easy solution."

Gocklo fled with one of the witches, Deci was her name I believe. Mitchell fought beside us against a burning knuckle. He nearly fell in combat and his constitution was not strong enough to heal himself as it usually would have been. Perhaps there was some other force at work. Nerwen looks at Morta briefly. We gave him the means to heal himself but he would accept no assistance other than the coup dé grace, holding himself shamed since he had failed to prevent Gocklo from betraying us. We did not count him so and would have yet fought alongside him.

"Well, that was a longer explanation than we got!" I grumble.

[Zepher]

Reaching Deborah, Nerwen holds up her hand. A greeting and also a signal to the others that a single reply would be sufficient.

Gocklo fled with one of the witches, Deci was her name I believe. Mitchell fought beside us against a burning knuckle. He nearly fell in combat and his constitution was not strong enough to heal himself as it usually would have been. Perhaps there was some other force at work. Nerwen looks at Morta briefly.

We did not count him so and would have yet fought alongside him.

I am truly sorry for your loss

"Gocklo..." she frowns. "I apologize. I thought he would be able to keep his composure. I guess not. He'll get a stern talking to, I can promise you that." She glances over her shoulder. "Assuming I'm not dead by then. As for Mitchell there will be time to grieve later. I can't say I'm happy that he's gone. But if we must air our grievances on that front, best not do it here. The white cowled fellow is hot on my tail. I took a pot shot at that little freak kid prophet of theirs. He didn't like it." Deborah shudders weakly. "Turns out he isn't half bad with that blade of his. So, trial by fire. Do you trust me still to stand at your side?"

"If you don't keep your comments to yourself, we will soon have reason enough to argue and it will be over whether or not we off your head. You have only Yu Shu...and Nerwen I suppose, to thank that it's still attached. Don't make us change our stance."

"Well, it's better than nothing I guess." She winks at Pretzel. "Try taking off my head. I dare you."

[Palathadric]

Do you trust me still to stand at your side?"

I shrug non-noncommittally, and look to Nerwen. She knew better than I did, what Debora's buggers had been up to.

[Chromeknight]

Nothing Mitchell did gives me any reason to mistrust you.

We met Simon. It was his words that inflamed Gocklo and drove him to act early. Who is the white cowled man you mention?

[Palathadric]

"Wait, did Gocklo betray you in the way that he's now working with the order imperial? Am I supposed to know this 'Simon' fellow?"

The poison in my blood is making me irritable and frustrated as it dulls my mind.

[KotZ]

"One at a time, all of you," Kiray says trying to keep her own temper in check.

[Chromeknight]

Gocklo took one of the witches held by the order imperial. We had previously agreed they were to be rescured first.

We met Bella's brother Simon, the Prophet, he encouraged Gocklo to act rather than wait, clearly hoping to divide our party.

Gocklo is pursing his own ends, much as Deborah, Yu Shu, Marcellus and Oko are.

[Zepher]

We met Simon. It was his words that inflamed Gocklo and drove him to act early. Who is the white cowled man you mention?

"The little punks bodyguard."

And without another moment to explain, the white cowled bodyguard bursts into the corridor

[Photo Coming When Photobucket doesn't suck]

OoC: Pretzel is not an Enzima, so he cannot equip their armor. Also, Chromeknight, you never divided the loot from the last battle. So you can do that now because I'm nice (and probably should have reminded you).
