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

[Palathadric]

Kiray attacks from the front. She turns to Abel. "How many of you people are there?"

"Kiray, you may want to use the Heavy Flail."

"Samuel, you'll be using one of those scrolls, but I'm not sure which is more beneficial presently, perhaps Blinding."

[Chromeknight]

I won't bother distributing loot, nothing that dropped will a make a difference this battle.

The enemy is currently lucky, but only nimble is listed as permanent. If he's neutralised, does he lose lucky for the rest of the battle?

Is Marcellus hastened? He's in the party stats twice!

Abel, Samuel, keep everyone on their feet. Avery, take point.

[Palathadric]

"Nerwen do you need a Tonic?

"Samuel, I would suggest you Blind him. The less damage we take the better."

I follow Nerwen's suggestion for me.

[Chromeknight]

Pretzel is perma-poisoned.

Monk! Can you neutralise the guard's luck? Grimwald, can you get Kiray up? It'd be a shame for her to miss seeing him fall.

Battle Order

>Grimwald

Abel v. Deborah - Heal

Samuel v. Marcellus - Heal

Pretzel v. Guard - neutraliser

Nerwen v. Guard - Essence of Sorrow (Finally! a worthy valid target!)

Avery v. White-Cowled Guard - Dagger

>Deborah v. Guard - Crossbow

Marcellus v. Guard - whip

Kiray

Edited May 19, 2015 by Chromeknight

[KotZ]

If Kiray gets up she uses the flail from the front.

[Palathadric]

I throw a Neutralizer in the air somewhat reluctantly. It seemed a waste of manpower for Samuel to be healing the green instead of blinding the guard which would render him useless and open to attack.

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald uses his Phoenix Essence on Kiray.

[Zepher]

OoC: Technically Samuel should have been KO'd too since he was soul-linked, but I forgot and by the time this round starts it didn't matter.

Order Imperial Assailant Battle Round Two

>Grimwald uses Phoenix Essence on Kiray

Abel heals Deborah - Failure (Roll of 6)

Samuel heals Marcellus - Failure (Roll of 6)

Pretzel throws a Neutralizer

Nerwen uses an Essence of Sorrow - Success (Roll of 2)

Kiray Bleeding 3

Marcellus Bleeding 11

Pretzel poisoned by 12

Grimwald helps Kiray to her feet as Nerwen chucks her essence of sorrow at the Guard. Maybe it's held in a vial? Who knows. Pretend its in a vial. As it shatters against his face there are some ghastly cries, as if from ghosts, and smoke bursts forth streaming up his nose forcibly. His eyes widen, and he stops where he stands, a statue, until Avery goes up to him and blows on him and he falls backwards, petrified and dead.

"Truly a demon within our order. He and the Never Blessed..." Abel shivers. "I do not know if Bella did something to them or if they came to her that way, but there was no light in them."

Deborah glances at Yu Shu.

"What the Hel happened to her?" she asks, and then watches as Pretzel staggers as well. "And you. What the Hel are we even still doing here? Shouldn't we go?" She leans in close to Nerwen. "I accept your explanation of what happened to Mitchell and Gocklo, but don't think that means you won't have to answer for it one way or another some day. Mitchell was a friend, regardless of what nonsense he was spouting."

Avery appears silently behind Pretzel and Kiray.

"There are many members of this party I've grown to dislike," she says in a sly whisper. "Maybe I will do some hunting when I return to Eubric."

[Chromeknight]

Hunting... Nerwen murmurs in response. Though whether it is agreement or merely echoing is difficult to tell.

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen shakes herself, the memory of Sorrow, Sonora and her Dark General, Haroka clear and present.

Speaking to Deborah she says,

There is a reckoning for everything, good or ill. But yes, we should leave.

By my count, we have this loot to divide.

[Palathadric]

"Are we going to press on this way? If so, do you need a Tonic or two, Nerwen?"

"Samuel, can you heal Deborah, and you may as well heal Marcellus while you're at it."

"Can one of you heal me up too?"

[Chromeknight]

Yes, that'd be helpful thanks Monk. Though I could just take a tonic from the pile.

[Palathadric]

"Fine. I don't need these though."

I use a Tonic on Nerwen and one on Samuel.

[KotZ]

Kiray presses a hand against her abdomen, where most of the blood is coming from. She whispers to Avery, "It will be ok. There's just a lot for everyone to juggle right now."

"We need to get moving. Yu Shu, Pretzel, and Marcellus aren't looking too good in my opinion."

[Palathadric]

...Marcellus aren't looking too good in my opinion."

"Does he ever?" I mumble to myself.

[Zepher]

Feather of Lithe (Makes the user nimble for three rounds, giving them a 1/3 chance to completely avoid rolls of COUNTER and DAMAGE and Free Hits.)

Bella's Ashes... well, maybe nothing, maybe something.

"Right you are," says Deborah in response to Nerwen as Samuel heals all injured party members. "You need a shoulder to lean on, Paladin?"

"I don't know if I've ever been met with so much pity," growls Yu Shu weakly. "Avery will continue to assist me. Besides, you look bad off yourself."

"I'll be fine. Samuel, where to next?"

"We're remarkably close to the exit. I can get us there."

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen drinks the two tonics from the loot pile.

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen drags the pile of loot together and places it back in her satchel

We'll deal with that later. let's go.

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald takes one of his own tonics and then follows Nerwen.

[KotZ]

Kiray walks next to Nerwen. "How did we allow this to happen? The whole mess that lead up to all of us meeting up again?"

[Zepher]

The heroes plow ahead towards the exit, meeting no resistance. The halls are hushed. There is no more clomping of feet, no more rustling armor. Just nothingness.

Eventually, the heroes see light up ahead, growing brighter with every step. Kiray feels a beam of warm land on her cheek. It is the morning sunlight, bursting forth through the windows as it rises in the sky. Ahead of them is the final gate, their way to salvation and freedom.

"Hello heroes," says the young lanky boy. "I was hoping you might have a moment to talk. I have asked my troops to fall back so that we may have a moment of peace between us."

[KotZ]

"Your troops?" Kiray asks. She looks up and down the bald, happy looking kid. "Are you their commander? But I thank you for allowing all of us a moment of peace." She sticks her hand out. "Kiray Nastayo."

[Zepher]

The boy shakes Kiray's hand.

"Since you killed my sister, yes, I am their commander. I am Simon. It is a pleasure to meet you, Kiray."

Yu Shu snarls, but her eyes are so unfocused its difficult to tell what she's snarling at - Simon, or some invention of her mind.

[KotZ]

"Bella was your sister. I remember hearing about you earlier. Does the Order Imperial work like a monarchy? Or were you just the next highest level person in the chain of command? I know you come from a noble family, though."

Kiray unceremoniously digs into Nerwen's satchel and produces Bella's Ashes. "I'm not exactly sure what to say. We all may disagree, or maybe you and the rest of us don't. But Bella was your family, and these should be with you." Kiray hands the ashes to Simon.
