Sandy Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 Results of Round Three of the Rakshasa Battle: >Sarge uses Phoenix Essence on Periwinkle - (Periwinkle: revived with full health) >Periwinkle uses Phoenix Essence on Heckz - (Heckz: revived with full health) >Sarge uses Health Core from hollow blade on himself - (Sarge: full health restored) >Sarge vs. Tarzean (and Sumba) - Special Dodge (Tarzean: confused; Long Battle - All heroes: inspired & blessed) Boomingham vs. Sumba - Shield/Hit (Guardian Angel) >Eric uses Grand Potion on himself - (Eric: +25 health restored) Eric vs. Nalah - Steal/Shield (Ravage - Nalah: 345 health-(68x2=136 dmg)=209 health+blinded+confused; Tarzean: 86 health-(68x2=136 dmg)=0 health; Sumba: 16 health-(68x2=136 dmg)=0 health; Eric: 32+31+28=91 gold) >Rex vs. Sumba Nalah - Special Damage (Burn My Dread - Eric: 90 health+5 SP-(32/2=16 dmg)=79 health; Sarge: 96 health+20 SP-32 dmg=84 health; Boomingham: no effect; Heckz: 70 health-32 dmg=38 health; Rex: 126 health+12 SP-32 dmg=106 health; Periwinkle: 78 health-32 dmg=46 health; Nalah: full health+effects removed) >Heckz (Darkness) vs. Sumba Nalah - Sleight of Hand (Nalah: confused+jinxed; Heckz: -2 ether) Eric - Blessed (+11 health) Sarge - Blessed (+10 health) Heckz - Blessed (+7 health) Rex - Blessed (+19 health) Periwinkle - Blessed (+8 health) The heroes quickly revive their fallen and heal wounds. The confused Tarzean ends up helping them further by inspiring and blessing them by accident, before he and Sumba fall to Eric's terrible blade. This helps greatly as Nalah unleashes another furious flame on the heroes. Heckz rebutes with a trick that leaves the last Rakshasa jinxed and confused. Barty pops in to watch over the heroes as they prepare to finish of the werelioness. "Nothing makes sense anymore..." Nalah falls to her knees, crying uncontrollably. "I beg your forgiveness, my pride... We we're so young and foolish... I will follow my friends to the grave now..."

Cutcobra Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 "Make sense of this you filthy pest." Heckz blasts Nalah with darkness from the back row.
Khorne Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 "Follow them to the grave you will. You made your choice. At least you'll die with your sword in your hand. This triviality ends now." Eric attacks Nalah from the front row using Conspirator. Peri heals Eric.
Zepher Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 "Barty, protect her." Boomingham turns on his friends. "This is an abuse of our power. We have caused her enough heart break for a life time. Eric, didn't you once have a family? And Sarge, didn't you once lead a ship? Imagine if your troops were cut out from under you. There is no need for something like this." Boomingham turns to Nalah. "At least one other of your pride lives. Do you have what it takes to survive? Can we call this fight over?"

There is no need for something like this." Boomingham turns to Nalah. "At least one other of your pride lives. Do you have what it takes to survive? Can we call this fight over?" The numerous fake modifications of Heckz's tone were gone, which were instead replaced by a strange manly voice. His eyes, are like Nalah's were no too long ago, filled with hatred. "That;s right. You don't have an excuse for me, boy-oo. This bitch insulted me in front of my beautiful face and the most powerful man in Salmanda. She then still had the primal guts to mock me and even kill me. I will not have it! Get your petty, idiotic light magic out of my way, or I'm blowing you to pieces too." Heckz casts a darkness spell at Nalah from the back row.

"At least one other of your pride lives. Do you have what it takes to survive? Can we call this fight over?" Eric shook his head. Like Heckz, he replied, but far less emotional and in a more methodical manner. "She chose her fate. She tried to test her strength, but met a stronger foe and thus failed. If we let her walk away now, all pride she had will be lost. There is no honor in walking away from a fight, especially one she started. The only decent way out for her is in battle. I will finish this, Lawrence."
Pyrovisionary Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) The red mist faded and the old man stood over the corpses of two dead were-lions. Taught them right for knocking his daughter down. Revenge, alas, had not made him feel any better, any less helpless to protect her. The angel would protect her, it would protect him, cleanse him. He looked down upon the weeping lioness, and for the first time in his life felt pity. He pondered for a moment why the angel had let him, as amoral as they go, live. He hesitated as he realized, this was not a kill or be killed scenario, this was why he was spared. Did he not owe the divine being a life saved in return for his redemption. Some intellectual bullcrap like that anyway. He vaguely noticed Boomingham seeming to plea at the group, and Heckz shouting back, so he shook his head to reorientate himself. He calmly raised his sword, at arm's length to Heckz's neck, and gave Eric a stern nod to cease. He murmured something in a level voice, an cocked his head. "Aint no glory in killing like this. Calm down you excitable brat, before I calm you down forever." Edited November 16, 2015 by Pyrovisionary
Sandy Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 QM Note: As the party leader, Sarge decides whether to let Nalah go or not. You will get experience for the battle and the loot from the other enemies in any case. What is Sarge's final decision?
Khorne Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Eric let out a deep, almost bestial growl. Angry, he kicked up some dust before coming closer to Nalah. Between his teeth, he spat: "we'll let you live if you give us your gold."
Zepher Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Barty finally takes action, darting in front of Eric's face as he growls at the were-lion. Boomingham turns to Heckz swiftly, keeping one eye on his Nordic friend. "You weren't given a voice because you don't have a say in the matter. I challenge you to blow me to pieces. You are the sort who give mages a bad name. Too much power in the hands of those with too little minds. Since we have arrived you have proven yourself petty, stupid, and malicious. There are greater ideals than yourself. Many men have lived and died so that others may continue. You are at best a hilarious diversion, at worse a hilarious disappointment." He next turns to Eric. "Do what you will." Looking over his ally at Nalah: "The choice is yours. But if we leave you alive, you must not squander this second chance. It was your leadership that led to this. That is a great responsibility. If you are given your life, do not use it poorly."

Heckz's eyes still look furious, but his mouth only shows his pearly whites. "Please, do tell me how much you have contributed to this damned quest so far. Unlike you, I got us into this mini-quest of ours, and I intend to finish it. You were right in the part where I do have too much power and that I do give mages a bad name. In fact, I give everyone a bad name. Just standing near someone makes them a lesser being in every way possible. Now, get your inferior, witless and casual face out of my own superior, prudent and benevolent face, before I show you just how malicious I can be." Heckz doesn't change his action.

Pyrovisionary Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Ooc: Damn me, I missed Sandy's post, sorry guys Sarge lowered his sword and approached the lioness. He proffered his hand to pull her up, and spoke softly. "You're spared. Use this gift of life to teach others mercy in Orthaniel's name." He hesitated and shook his head, and the kind face was replaced by the usual sly grin and he continued. "Course. Despite bein pious meself, nothin to stop Eric here choppin yer 'ead off, so some, remuneration'd be wise lass."
Khorne Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 With a wicked fire burning in his eyes and a wide grin on his face, Eric spoke once more: "Yeah, your life for you gold. How about it?" His grin slid away into a feigned pious and serious look. The Nord frowned and while he brought Conspirator closer to the were-lioness, he joked sardonically: "See, the deities I serve are quite different than this Orthaniel. They don't care much for mercy and the sparing of the weak. In fact, they very much prefer bloodshed, so that's what I'm planning on doing if you don't take up our generous offer. We've all got to please our gods, don't we, miss?"

Despite bein pious meself, nothin to stop Eric here choppin yer 'ead off, so some, remuneration'd be wise lass." Nalah looked at the heroes' arguing back and forth incredulously. She hardly believed when Sarge allowed her to leave. "What is this? You killed all my friends, but spare me? Could you be any more cruel?! Take it all from me, you monsters!" The werelioness tossed her purse in Sarge's feet, but kept her weapon. "Just don't talk to me about mercy, because this has nothing to do with it!" Suddenly the other werelioness coughed and opened her eyes. Boomingham had hit her just enough to knock her out without killing her. "N-Nalah...?" "Liara?! You live! Let's go now, before these beasts change their minds again." "What about...?" "No, let's not test fate any more than we already have. Come, my friend." Nalah lifted Liara up, and together they limped off to the dunes. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Rex gains a fifth of a level, Boomingham and Periwinkle gain a fourth, and the others gain a third.

Cutcobra Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Heckz' bloddlust was gone, but he wanted at least something out of all this trouble. He tries to skin one of the werelions but immediately gets sick after just a little cut. "Didn't you also want some furs?" He asks Eric.
Khorne Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Nalah looked at the heroes' arguing back and forth incredulously. She hardly believed when Sarge allowed her to leave. "What is this? You killed all my friends, but spare me? Could you be any more cruel?! Take it all from me, you monsters!" The werelioness tossed her purse in Sarge's feet, but kept her weapon. "Just don't talk to me about mercy, because this has nothing to do with it!" Eric coughed in his fist. To the party he said: "Told you it was wrong to let her live." The Nord sheathed his sword and was silent for a short time. Clearing his throat, he said: "Next time, I will kill you," pointing at the other members (sans Heckz), "they're the only reason you're still alive." Eric kept eyeing the foes as they hobbled off. His angry demeanor calmed down as they left his sight. A sly grin crept to his face. The time for loot had come. "I'll have that scimitar or those waveblades. And obviously a great share of the gold. If it hadn't been for me, the pile of it would've been considerably smaller," he chuckled somewhat spiteful. Awaiting his share, Eric watched Heckz try and take some fur. His chuckle grew into laughter as the Sorceror failed his attempts. "Furs? I was in this for the fight itself and the rewards it brought. I don't need fur in this sun-blasted hellhole."

Cutcobra Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 "I'll have that scimitar or those waveblades. And obviously a great share of the gold. If it hadn't been for me, the pile of it would've been considerably smaller," he chuckled somewhat spiteful. "Excuse you? I was the only one with actual determination to slaughter those primal things. Unlike others who just rambled about "My grey hairs mean glory" or "Blah blah I'm totally envious of you Heckz blah blah. And if I can't kill idiots or get fur from them, then I might as well get gold out of this. Especially if I didn't get some out of my sleight of hand". Awaiting his share, Eric watched Heckz try and take some fur. His chuckle grew into laughter as the Sorceror failed his attempts. "Furs? I was in this for the fight itself and the rewards it brought. I don't need fur in this sun-blasted hellhole." "But you will need these luxurious furs if you want to go to a cold place and look voguish at the same time."
Zepher Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 OoC: Sandy, take that Crystal Skull from me unless you really want me to keep it. Boomingham sheaths his blade. "I don't want any of these weapons," he says simply. He walks by Sarge and pats him on the back. "Thank you," he mumbles.
Pyrovisionary Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 200 gold - Sarge 224 gold - Eric 224 gold - Heckz Rakshasa Blade - Eric Rakshasa Flail - Eric Rakshasa Scimitar - Eric Rakshasa Waveblades - Eric Sarge watched as the lions staggered away, feeling pitiful and a tad disturbed. He had made the first move, he had first attacked those children. He regretted it, but no point dwelling on the past, he'd found his daughter, been cured, found a purpose, he'd damn well buck up. He exhaled heavily and looked up at Eric, then at Boomingham. "What now?" he half muttered at his party.
Zepher Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Boomingham eyes the gold greedily. He hadn't said he didn't want any of that.
Khorne Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Eric noticed Boomingham's greedy look. "You didn't want to kill them, but you're fine with taking their gold? My, my, where are your morals?", the Nord joked, knowing he wasn't a hair better himself. "As for now; maybe we should head back to the Sisters and sort this mess out, so we can return to Eubric?" Eric cracked his neck and nuckles. "Although I'm always up for some more fighting, too"
