Sandy Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 QM Note: Pyrovisionary, I just realized Sarge has been wearing the Swift Boots illegally the whole time - you can't wear two footwear at the same time. I will have to take back those 87 gold I gave you earlier, sorry. Results of Round Two of the Scorpion Battle: >Heckz uses a Neutralizer - (All temporary effects removed from enemies and heroes) >Sarge uses Minimizing Dust on Golden Scorpion - (Golden Scorpion: minimized for 3 rounds) Sarge vs. Ebony Scorpion A (& Ebony Scorpion B) - Hide Ebony Scorpion B + Crimson Scorpion A + Crimson Scorpion B + Golden Scorpion - Free Hit on Heckz (Heckz: 18 health-(25+27+27+7=86/2=43 dmg)=0 health) Heckz neutralizes the poisonous fumes floating around, while Sarge uses the item he purchased from the Lilliput merchant to decrease the Golden Scorpion into a miniature. The black knight then goes into hiding, leaving Heckz to take all the hits from the remaining enemies. Eric's party arrives just in time to see the sorcerer fall.

I see the little fellers too." Boomingham nods respectfully to the little men. "Howdy, chaps."

Pyrovisionary Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Ooc: Good save Sandy Also, when you removed the swift boots gold from Sarge, you took away too much. 237-87 is 150, not 124 Loot distribution: Poison bomb: Boomingham Golden scorpion venom: Sarge -"We'll split the profit later lads" mumbles the old man Jon, out of breath, sits down on a nearby rock to take a breather - The poison hadn't done his lungs any good. He ineptly fumbles in his pockets for his tobacco pouch and begins chewing on some. Hesitating as he remembers his responsibility as party leader, he loudly addresses the rest of the party while they were recovering "So it's dark, and I'm heading to the magic shop next, followed by the port, then the dunes and finally the palace; bit of a shopping trip see. Boomers mate, I know you wanted to go to the library but anyone else want to join me? Or's we going to stay as a party today?" Edited July 31, 2015 by Pyrovisionary
Khorne Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Eric rolled his shoulders and rubbed his hands. "Well then, that's that. 500 coin in the party's pockets. Easy earn." He then turned to Sarge. "I wouldn't mind seeing that magic shop myself, honestly. Do you reckon it'll still be open when we get there?" The Nord then shrugged. "After that, I have no real priorities, really. The library, the port, the palace,...whatever"
Pyrovisionary Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Sarge stroked his beard in contemplation, then gives a short smile and nods at the nord. "Should be open, closes in the mornin don't it? We've got plenty of time." Edited July 31, 2015 by Pyrovisionary
Khorne Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Sarge stroked his beard in contemplation, then gives a short smile and nods at the nord. "Should be open, closes in the mornin don't it? We've got plenty of time." Eric grinned. "The magic shop it is, then" Before parting, he eyed the Lilliputs curiously. "Can't see the point or any advantage in being so small. Sad little beings.", he thought to himself.
Pyrovisionary Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Sarge moved to get up, but hesitated. It was a nice night, may aswell chat to the rest of the party for a bit. Although he had spent alot of time with his comprades, on the job. There had always been an urgency preventing them from talking extensively "Where'd you get the title of lord, mate?" He queried at Boomingham, raising an eyebrow "Course, me an Eric're lords - provided the Wolfgang win." He chuckled, chewing on the tobacco some more. "And weren't you pretty high ranked among ya clan anyway Eric me-lad?" Edited July 31, 2015 by Pyrovisionary
Khorne Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 "Where'd you get the title of lord, mate?" He queried at Boomingham, raising an eyebrow "Course, me an Eric're lords - provided the Wolfgang win." He chuckled, chewing on the tobacco some more. "And weren't you pretty high ranked among ya clan anyway Eric me-lad?" Eric grunted affirmatively. Clearly, he wasn't too keen of speaking about this topic of his past, even though he considered Jon and Lawrence to be friends. For the sake of that friendship, the Nord provided an answer, be it a very short one. "Ja, I was. Next-in-line to be Jarl one day...", he mused. Eric then cheered up somewhat, trying to steer the conversation elsewhere. With another customary wide and cheeky grin, he confirmed Sarge's boast. "Indeed, Jon. If the Wolfgang wins that brawl of theirs, I ought to start a clan of my own in Eubric. No better place for sea-faring people such as my own kin, if you ask me."
