Sandy Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Boomingham lowers his voice and whispers to Theresa. "Let me know what I got myself into. Are most of the sisters in your order more like you, or more like madam holier-than-thou?" Barty pops into existance and hovers near Ovelia. "He does have a lot to repent about, sister. More than you would think possible for just one man, and somehow I'm supposed to fix him," quips the little angel. "We come in all sorts, as you paladins evidently come as well. No offense, Sir Lawrence, but if it weren't for that tiny angel, nobody could guess you were one of Ennoc's Holy Knights." "Ah, a mother. Hardly shows. I had a son of my own, once. And I'm with you, m'lady. The past is past. Might as well enjoy this bottle now. Onwards and upwards!" "A great-grandmother nowadays, actually. Our Cherissa just had a baby of her own. It feels like yesterday when I held Cherissa herself in my arms. She was my first grandchild... How quickly the time passes..." The nun sighed deeply.
Pyrovisionary Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Aunt Ovelia listened intently. "That sounds like a rapid cancer, if even amputation does not prevent the infection. Do you know how you... eh, I mean your friend acquired it?" Sarge gives her a black look, he didn't want to show any weakness. "Bloke said something 'bout a "women scorned". Witch or something, curse and poison. Right bitch she was... He said." "It sure is, and if you don't hustle in soon it'll all be gone. Talk about your sickness and then get in here," calls Boomingham over his shoulder as he steps into the cabin, leaving Sarge to chat with Ovelia on the deck. Clenching his fists, the old man talks through his teeth, irritated, but trying not to show it. "I'm fine... Just an old mate..." Dejectedly, Sarge waits for an answer from the revered aunt before shrugging and going to get dead drunk. Edited March 29, 2015 by Pyrovisionary
Zepher Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 "We come in all sorts, as you paladins evidently come as well. No offense, Sir Lawrence, but if it weren't for that tiny angel, nobody could guess you were one of Ennoc's Holy Knights." "Think I'd like to keep it that way. He's a pest, but if you swat at him he'll go away more often than not. Don't be afraid to really put your arm into it." "A great-grandmother nowadays, actually. Our Cherissa just had a baby of her own. It feels like yesterday when I held Cherissa herself in my arms. She was my first grandchild... How quickly the time passes..." The nun sighed deeply. "Sounds like all the more reason to celebrate!" bellows Boomingham. He shuffles around the cabin, rummaging through papers and knick-knacks. "I'd love to pour you ladies a glass, but I don't know my way around the ship. Where might our sputtering captain keep some?"
Cutcobra Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 "Tehehe, are you talking about "Fifty Shades of Bley", perhaps? Honey, I learned that book by heart years ago, and haven't needed to carry it since. But why on earth do you want to become a... hustler might be the right word? You know you'll catch all sorts of icky diseases, right?" Heckz looks dissapointed. "Well, by being a 'hustler' I'd earn much more money than I do now. I would also aquire a lot of costumers due to my highly enjoyable appearance. As for the diseases, I've got an outfit that takes care of that." Is there, by any chance, that you could recite me the book so I can write it down??" Hymnessamine overheard the discussion and laughed heartily. "Haha, you bet you will! They're nothing we couldn't treat, though. If you can handle the humiliation of stripping down in front of resentful aunties, that is." "I'll strip every bit of clothing as long as it's in front of you, Sassy." He winks at Hymnessamine. He then looks at Aunt Esther and turns to the two Sisters once again. "What's up with her? She hasn't talked the whole trip."
Khorne Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 "You led me on, that's what you did!", Periwinkle shouted, but not angrily or bitterly. There was a playful twinkle in the corner of her eye. "Just so you know, I'm not one of your swords you can just toss away after it gets dented. Although I bet you take better care of your swords than your women... But I've known a lot of men, and I know what you are like. Just for once I would like to be pleasantly surprised by a man, but that day will likely never come." "I'm not the kind of man to throw away a dented blade.", Eric smugly said, obviously and quite purposefully missing the point of what Peri was trying to say. He didn't even bother to reply to her accusation that he never took care of women. He'd known plenty of women for who the Nord deeply cared. Losing them hadn't always been his own fault. Often, but not always. Eric reminisced shortly of Mariel, the barmaid working at the Merry Mermaid. He grinned and was reassured that he definitely knew had to take care of women. With that, he followed Boomingham and the nun to the cabin. As the old knight yelled 'onward and upward', Eric took a peek at the skies, but saw nothing there safe for some clouds. He shrugged.
Sandy Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Sarge gives her a black look, he didn't want to show any weakness. "Bloke said something 'bout a "women scorned". Witch or something, curse and poison. Right bitch she was... He said." "So it really is a curse, rather than a natural sickness. That makes it much trickier to heal, but not impossible. The easiest solution would be to make the witch to take back the curse, but if I'm not mistaken, that is not an option in this case... I can certainly look into this, but for that I need to scope the strength of the curse. So if you do not mind, I would like to do some examinations. Also, any details you could tell about the witch would help greatly. It'll all be in full confidentiality, of course. You want to make this friend of yours better, don't you?" The abbess gave Sarge a meaningful look. "Think I'd like to keep it that way. He's a pest, but if you swat at him he'll go away more often than not. Don't be afraid to really put your arm into it." "No wonder he's so puny, if you keep treating him like that. Even angels need love and caring. I believe angels especially need it." "I'd love to pour you ladies a glass, but I don't know my way around the ship. Where might our sputtering captain keep some?" Aunt Zarissa took a swig right out of the bottle. "As the mother of a big family, I know how important it is to prevent making dishes to wash." "Pass it to me, Zarissa. All this theological bullcrap is making me thirsty!" "Is there, by any chance, that you could recite me the book so I can write it down??" Periwinkle grins slyly. "Sorry, but it's more of a... picture book. I could show you, but I'm chaste nowadays. And Eric would probably beat you to a pulp." He then looks at Aunt Esther and turns to the two Sisters once again."What's up with her? She hasn't talked the whole trip." Heckz looked at Aunt Esther and saw her leaning over the railing at the rear of the ship. "Poor woman, can't hold her lunch down even though the sea is quite docile..." "Just wait fer it", quipped Jaws as he passed them by, scrubbing the deck like he always did. It was his sole duty since the magic ship pretty much took care of itself otherwise. "Neredice will show one of her famous fits any day now. She doesn't lyke it when wimmenfolk get too close to her husband." "*gurgle* Stop your superstitious babbling, first mate, *spit* and show some respect to our passengers. *splud* You're a *glup* disgrace! I would be more worried about *flap* getting through the Strait of Seirenes. *slurps*"
Zepher Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 "Ah, if that's the way you ladies do it, feel free to hold onto that bottle." Boomingham uncorks one of his own bottles and drains a decent amount of it before he notices that Eric has joined them. He passes the bottle to the Nord. "What do you say, chap? Want to see if we can outpace these sisters?"
Khorne Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 "Just wait fer it", quipped Jaws as he passed them by, scrubbing the deck like he always did. It was his sole duty since the magic ship pretty much took care of itself otherwise. "Neredice will show one of her famous fits any day now. She doesn't lyke it when wimmenfolk get too close to her husband." Eric grunted and shook his head in disdain for the fishman's superstitions. Sadly, even many of his countryfolk believed the same story. The legend that women aboard a sea vessel brought bad luck. The Nord sneered at the very thought. "Fools..." He thought of home. The wind-blasted Howling Isles with its rare stone keeps, wooden ships and iron folk, men and women alike. He grinned as he reminisced how he and his half-sister raided together many times, taking to the seas in their dragonships. He thought of how Norra now probably led the raids and attacks herself, in Eric's absence and their father's old age. Eric knew better than to look down upon women at sea, for he had witnessed their merit a doze times. His whole clan knew their worth. Clan Njorrling, progenies of the ancient Njordon himself according to legend, all sea-masters and renowned beast hunters. Only fools would think women had no place on a ship, but the world had plenty of fools in it. Eric snorted and pushed the thoughts back. "Let's outpace these Sisters", he answered Boomingham quite self-assured.

He then turns to the Merman with a bit of caution in case he gets some spit on his shoes. "Do the sirens have any boos aswell?" He then sets up a Skeleteon Decoy for Ovelia and offers Hymnessamine a Smelling Salts for her to drink. "Just in case.'' Edited April 1, 2015 by Cutcobra

The abbess gave Sarge a meaningful look. Sarge grumbles in irritation, he'd rather not discuss his past, however this probably wasnt the time to get all uptight about it. He was dying afterall. He begins in a hushed voice, so only the reverend aunt can hear him; "We met on me 7th tour of duty - the fang coast - we had a child, a daughter, but I had to leave when the Bonapartes did. She curses me for that and... I stab her. Havent seen her since. Women had blonde hair, seemed human - Maybe half elf - wasnt green like the other witches I've met." The old man sighs, rubs his brow, and looks at his feet. Hesitating, then speaking very quietly all of a sudden, he murmurs; "Havent seen me daughter in nearly 30 years." After a pause, Sarge smiles, holding back the urge to cough and trying to regain his self-image of macho strength. "The curse aint much to look at. It's spread from me... Stump.. to the left side of me chest." Edited March 31, 2015 by Pyrovisionary
Sandy Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 "Do the sirens have any boos aswell?" He then sets up a Skeleteon Decoy for Ovelia and offers Hymnessamine a Smelling Salts for her to drink. "Just in case.'' "I beg your *splud* pardon? *gurgle*" The captain then told Heckz how the sirens had been unusually active at luring passing ships to their doom at the Strait of Seirenes. It was as if something was disturbing the peace of the monsters' colony. Squidraken assured that this time he had brought enough earwax for everyone to get through the strait without them getting affected by the sirens' singing. "Your caretaking is endearing, Heckzie. But you are right, it never hurts to be too careful - even if we are still days away from the sirens." In a few days, the passengers of the Flouncy Phoenix got to witness the sirens' rage first hand. "Those poor bastards..." Aunt Theresa sighed as they watched the skeletons of unfortunate sailors enchained to the cliffs of the strait. "It seems they did not bring enough earwax." "Naw, this ain't how sirens usually werk", said Jaws ominously. "They sing luvly tunes that lure sailors overboard - they do not tear ships into shreds or hang men by their innards." Periwinkle grabbed the first mate's mop from his hands. "Let them try! When it comes to seduction, I know all the tricks in the book." "Listen! Do you hear that?" Everyone perked their ears, and heard flapping wings and crawing noises approach them. "*spit* It's the sirens! *gulp* Jaws, escort the ladyfolk below the deck! Men, *splud* take arms to defend the ship!" "You go on down with Esther, Revered Sister. The rest of us will stay here to help these gentlemen, won't we?" "I wouldn't miss it for the world!" "I'll show them a thing or two about singing." "Count me in! We'll be fighting side by side again, Eric-dear." Revered Aunt Ovelia looked at the women worriedly, but then nodded. "So be it. May the Mother watch over you all. Sister Esther, please come with me." Aunt Esther just nodded feebly, and the two Sisters disappeared below deck with Jaws. "*splud* There they come, straight ahead! *gurgle*" The captain pointed forward from the poop deck. "Go to the bow! *spittle*" "Wait! There's more coming behind you, captain!" The sirens were approaching the deck from two directions, so the party of eight would need to split to the bow and the stern in order to defend the ship. Who would go where?

Khorne Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 OOC: So I guess no binge drinking with the nuns then "I'll protect the helm (front), I'm not a man to stay in the rear", Eric proudly and quite boatfully exclaimed for all to hear while pushing some people away as he strode forward. In preparation o the coming skirmish, he uncorked one of his Meads and drank it whole.
Sandy Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 OOC: So I guess no binge drinking with the nuns then QM Note: It happened for sure, but with the lack of player input I felt I should rather move the quest forward. It is a long quest, so you will have plenty of opportunities to get drunk during it.
Cutcobra Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Heckz heard the captain intently but was also careful of not getting spit on his shoes. "Man, these sirens sound like real Bs." He then signals for everyone to listen to him before putting on the earwax. "Okay everyone. Here's my idea, which we will obviously take because it's the best: Me, Sassy, Sarge and Peri the Catchphrase Stealer will go in the back while the others go to the front. Sounds good?" He then moves to Periwinkle and applies some Deadly Venom into her Mop. The sorcerer smells some smelling salts, puts the earwax and goes to the back with Hymnessamine.
Pyrovisionary Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Ooc: How about Eric, Peri, Boomingham and Zarissa At the front, Sarge, Heckz, Theresa and Hym back? Edit: Didnt see your post Cutcobra, reformulating plan haha Sarge applies earwax, muffling his ears to the world. Before hurrying rather awkwardly to the back of the ship, grabbing sister Teresa on the way. Edit: Edit: So we'll need a healer at le back, and although Peri is a cleric, a witch or Sage or Paladin is much more preferred, so how about Eric, Peri, Boomingham and Zarissa At the front, Sarge, Heckz, Theresa and Hym back. Any objections? Edited April 2, 2015 by Pyrovisionary
Zepher Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 "Zarissa, stick by me, madam. I think we'll need to watch each other's backs... and you might have to make sure I don't do anything foolish depending on if these sirens are as lovely to look at as they are to listen to." Boomingham starts to hum along to the music, but Barty bursts into existence in front of him, snapping him out of the spell. "Pass over the earwax. I'm taking the front with Eric." OoC: Might be a tad busy for the weekend. If I don't get in an action in time, Khrone can command Boomingham.
Sandy Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 Eric lead Boomingham, Periwinkle and Aunt Zarissa to the helm of the ship, while Sarge, Heckz, Aunt Theresa and Aunt Hymnessamine stuck to the rear. "Here they come! *gurgle* *gulp*" The sirens reached the ship, accompanied by flocks of albatross. There was one siren that stood out in the flock due to her elaborate headdress. "Skee! Tear the ship down, girls! Skee! For the sake of our nests! Skee!" PREPARE FOR DUAL BATTLE!

Special II: Mass Suicide – Makes all confused and hexed opponents throw themselves over the edge of the ship, preventing them from acting.

Pyrovisionary Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Rear party battle order: Sarge - Attacks Siren Songstress D (double) back row Sarge - Attacks Flock of Albatrosses (double) back row Heckz Hym Hym Theresa - Attacks Siren songstress C from the back row Sarge takes a broads slice at the swarming flock, then lunges at a siren - being careful to keep his distance less they counterattack. Ooc: Khorne, do you wanna do the other sub-party's battle order? Seeing as your PC is actually taking part in the front battle Edited April 4, 2015 by Pyrovisionary
Khorne Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 OOC: I don't really have any idea on what strategy to follow here, so any input you guys have would be nice . For an instant Eric was smitten by the barbaric and outlandish beauty of the Sirens, but he quickly got a hold of himself and prepared for battle. Eric uses Smelling Salts, then attacks the Flock of Albatross from the front row, using Conspirator. Meanwhile, Peri was unsure what to do in the fight and just started cautiously jabbing Serope with the end of her broom. Peri attacks Serope from the back row Front party battle order Eric Boomingham attacks Siren Songstress A (if Zepher hasn't returned on time to post an action himself) Zarissa attacks Siren Temptress B (if Zepher hasn't returned on time to post an action himself) Peri
Zepher Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Boomingham draws Scupperer. "Come on, ladies. Don't be so stand offish! I much rather dance close together if we're going to dance." Boomingham swings at the Siren Songtress A from the back row, while Zarissa freezes some water and hurls at Temptress A from behind him. "It's looking to be a bumpy round, Eric. We're outnumbered handily, so buckle down."
Cutcobra Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) "You want Sassy to sing something, boo? Because she ain't singing anything as long as she's twice on the strategy plan thing." Heckz magically casts darkness at Siren Temptress C from the back row. Hymnessamine plays some jazz (Epic Saxophone) to the Siren Temptress D from the back row. Then she plays some nice music that would make everyone lucky (Lucky Chant), from the back row. Edited April 5, 2015 by Cutcobra
Sandy Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 QM Note: I've decided to remove the "fights from the back row"-ability from the Sirens, as well as Sterope's ability to call more Sirens, to make this battle less longwinded. I also forgot to mention that you can switch to the other battle by spending a turn, but you will only get experience once during this dual battle. Results of Round One of the Battle at the Helm: >Eric uses Smelling Salts on himself Eric vs. Flock of Albatrosses - Hit (Albatross: 720 health-46 dmg=674 health+blinded) >Boomingham vs. Siren Songstress A - Shield (Guardian Angel - All allies: protected from damage and effects for the next round) >Zarissa (Ice) vs. Siren Temptress A - Damage (Zarissa: 47 health+2 SP-(51/2=26 dmg)=23 health+enamored) >Periwinkle vs. Sterope - Miss Flock of Albatrosses - Free Hit on Eric (Albatross: blinded, no effect) Siren Songstress B - Free Hit on Boomingham (Boomingham: 56 health+11 SP-(50/2=25 dmg)=42 health+sealed) Siren Temptress B - Free Hit on Zarissa (Zarissa: 23 health+2 SP-(51/2=26 dmg)=0 health) Sterope does not switch side. At the helm of the ship, Eric hastens himself and delivers a blinding blow to the flock of Albatross. Boomingham calls Barty for help, but in the meanwhile Zarissa gets knocked out by the sirens. Periwinkle is of no help, either. All enemies still remain, but at least the party will be protected for the next round.

Pyrovisionary Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Stern battle order Hym Sarge - Attacks Siren Songstress D (double) back row Sarge - Attacks Flock of Albatrosses (double) back row Heckz Hym Theresa - Attacks Siren songstress C from the back row Sarge's blade connects with an albatross. Once again he takes a swipe at them, maybe he would kill something this time. He grins at the mayhem caused by Heckz and Theresa's spells. Edited April 5, 2015 by Pyrovisionary
Zepher Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 OoC: I have too much health. Also not totally sure why I got two rolls... though the first one was the shield, so the next round will play the same regardless. Boomingham glances behind him. "Looks like you're doing a bit better than us, Sarge!" He turns to Eric. "While Barty's around, let's give 'em hell, huh chap?" Boomingham swings Scupperer at Songtress A from the front row.
