Khorne Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Eric squinted his eyes, trying to identify the creature in the distance. "A giant snake...Ouroborus or basilisk?" He licked his lips and grinned wildly, a fire burning in his eyes. "A giant snake for me to kill, like the great Njordon, slayer of the Olegardsormr!"
Pyrovisionary Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Sarge smokes a cigar as they walk into the dunes. He stamps it underfoot when they come to the battle. "Nah that's just a huge fuckin snake mate. Shoulda brought a deckchair..." He shrugs, and draws his greatsword. Time to wipe the smug smile off of Periwinkle's face. He rushes into battle Edited June 8, 2015 by Pyrovisionary
Khorne Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Eric drew Conspirator as well and ran into battle, ready to hack away at the creature.
Cutcobra Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) "Aeo Valares! Shom Allares! Mes Morgos Handares! O Daystar, May Thy Brilliance Illuminate the Golden Domes of Salmanda Forevermore!" After the ceremony, the magus mingled with the guests. He noticed Heckz among them. "Beg my pardon, Master Sorcerer, but I have not seen you before. Are you a visitor of our beautiful city, perhaps? I am Magister Lapis Lazuli, the Royal Weather Mage of Salmanda and the head of the Salmandan Circle of Magi. What Circle are you from, if I may ask?" Heckz is shocked by what they allow to be in cities these days. A normal person would certainly kill himself because of such a being, he thought. The thing was powerful, though, so he put up a smile and talked. "Yes, I am a visitor of this city. As you probably might have heard, I almost single handedly slayed some dune ghouls and the queen of sirens with my unique batch of jinxing spells. Magic is still a new thing for me, and until now I just considered it a tool. My only idea for a future profession was one with love and passion, but I understand the arcane is more than that. I come from no circle at all, and I was wondering if you could teach me a thing or two about magic. Maybe even join your circle. I'd also like to know if you need help with anything. I'm Heckz Brutenhal, by the way. Heckz as in that particular type of spell witches use." Edited June 9, 2015 by Cutcobra
Sandy Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 QM Note: I'm waiting for Zepher to post the battle actions and turn order. Eric and Sarge will join the battle after the next round. "Yes, I am a visitor of this city. As you probably might have heard, I almost single handedly slayed some dune ghouls and the queen of sirens with my unique batch of jinxing spells.

You must have great power in you, then... I myself was summoned here from Etheria years ago by the Almagesta's request, since there was no eligible candidate to follow after the previous Royal Weather Mage. Sooner than I knew it, I was in charge of the whole Daystar Tower - just because there was no one better. So few are born with the talent of magic, even though it can be learned through arduous studying. It was quite a shock to move from Etheria - the island nation of mages, surely you have heard of it - to Salmanda, where magic is both revered and feared for its rarity." Magister Lapis Lazuli smiled with his beady eyes. "So yes, Master Brutenhal, if you have truly conquered the Queen of Sirens with your spells, there is not much more I can teach you. I would be honored to have a powerful sorcerer like yourself in our little Circle, but alas, it is only meant for those residing in Salmanda. There is something you could help me with, though, if you do not mind running my errands..." Discovered a new subquest! Weather Report Assignment: “The weather in the Salmanda region has been acting crazy as of late, and it has become nigh impossible for me to predict it with the current information I have. Could you help me by gathering information about the weather in the areas surrounding the city? The information has to be collected from Luxor Dunes, Kalakita Bog and the Shipwreck Shore within 24 hours. Report back to me at the Daystar Tower once you are done.” ~Magister Lapis Lazuli, Royal Weather Mage of Salmanda Reward: “I will give you the book ‘Begone with the Winds’ that trains you into my vocation.”
Zepher Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 OoC: Sorry, totally didn't realize I hadn't done that. Boomingham and Periwinkle both attack from the front row. Same battle order.
Cutcobra Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 "One last thing, Magister Bloo, do you know which Circles of Mages are located in Eubric? Maybe I could join one of those." He then heads for the Luxor Dunes.

I heard rumors that the Almagesta has a good friend among the Ziegfrieds, though, but I do not know if that is helpful in any way to you. My apologies." Heckz then left for the Luxor Dunes, and saw his party mates fighting the basilisk. Would he join the battle as well?

Khorne Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 "Good afternoon, you two", Eric smirked as he joined Boomingham and Peri's side. He then charged forward lunging Conspirator at the great snake. Eric attacks the Basilisk from the front row, using Conspirator.

Probably one of those seven families or whatever. I saved a family member of theirs, though. Bye, Magister Bloo Bloo! Thanks for your help, and your weather report will come soon." Heckz travels to the Luxor Dunes, thinking about Ziegfrieds, which led him to think about the Almagesta, which led him to actually think for once. What if... no. That brat from the school couldn't possibly be friends with the Almagesta... or could he? The sorcerer notices a battle, and couldn't help but notice a ridiculous blue and white outfit, a hooded man with an unstylish hood, a knight with a horrendous peg leg that doesn't go with his clothes at all and man with bronze armor and a ponytail. Who even uses ponytails anymore, Heckz thought. He can recognize those fashion criminals anywhere. It was his party, and they were battling some horrendous thing that he didn't care about. He joins the battle. "Remember me? Figures that you are doing something idiotic. You do know we only need to know how this beast is like for that one task, right? There's no need to battle it unless it had some outrageous loot. Which it does not." Edited June 10, 2015 by Cutcobra
Zepher Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 OoC: Sorry Sandy, should have been more specific but I attacked with scupperer round one and my repeated action was intended to be with it too so we should roll for those effects and the multiplier should be higher.

QM Note: My bad! I will fix it!
Zepher Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 OoC: Well, my bad too, I thought I'd end up doing actual damage but fire is effective against beasts, not vermin. Still, shouldn't I have done some damage, since the weather doubles both my elements? Or is it different with weather as opposed to enemy type. I guess it would be, since I'm not able to damage it in the first place. Did you roll for the 4 1/2 chance effects too Boomingham drops Scupperer in disappointment and draws his Frozen Saber, attacking from the back row. He grumbles under his breath as Heckz joins the battle, but grins at Eric. "Good to see you, chap! This little snake decided it had to come out and play with us, but I think it might be getting more than it bargained for."
Pyrovisionary Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Battle order: Ooc: Not sure if Zepher or me should be doing this but hey Sarge Eric Sarge Peri Boomingham Sarge attacks the Basilisk (double) twice from the front row

What effects are you talking about, though?

The heroes get no hits on the basilisk, and it soon dives under the sand, only to re-emerge later right under their feet. The party is thrown into the air and crash down all helter-skelter. Only Eric is unharmed by this, landing on his feet thanks to his sturdy boots, but both Sarge and Periwinkle get knocked out. That's when Heckz decides to enter the fray to save the day once again.

Cutcobra Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 "You came here just to run?" Boomingham chuckles. "Would have been better if you didn't come at all." "Fine. I've got more important stuff to do. I also am the only one that has a smoke bomb. Have fun." Heckz waits for Eric's response in this.
Khorne Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Eric shrugged. "I don't need a bomb to get my out of this situation." He readied his sword for another strike. The Nord was too stubborn to give up now, even though the knew he wasn't required to fight this battle. Eric attacks the Basilisk from the front row, using Conspirator.
