Khorne Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 While the heroes were finishing the monsters, the Cobra Priest looked after Periwinkle. "The girl was hit hard, but she seems to be making a quick recovery. It's like a miracle..." Eric smirked. "Guess that makes me a miracle, too, since I'm barely unscathed even after taking some serious hits from those Floraphants." He then walked over to the corpse of one of the slain creatures and plunged his sword in the carcass, skinning the dead beast.
Cutcobra Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 "Oh, so now you people are 'gentleman-ly' enough to skin a beast for a person, huh? Maybe it's my lack of breasts." Heckz angrily waits for what was next. These humid bogs, burning deserts and even more humid lakes were nothing like the 'sea breeze does so much for your skin' he was expecting.
Zepher Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Boomingham looks Heckz up and down as the other two men skin the creatures. "Breasts certainly wouldn't hurt," he muses. "A little something to distract from your personality might do you some good."
Cutcobra Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Boomingham looks Heckz up and down as the other two men skin the creatures. "Breasts certainly wouldn't hurt," he muses. "A little something to distract from your personality might do you some good." "I don't know if you would like that. I mean, the only advantage you have over me is having breasts of your own. If I do have breasts, you would just have absolutely no use to this quest." He makes a fake laugh for a short moment, then he gets serious. "Just kidding. You don't have any advantage over me."
Khorne Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 "Oh, so now you people are 'gentleman-ly' enough to skin a beast for a person, huh? Maybe it's my lack of breasts." Eric looked up, wiping some blood of his face only to smear it out even more. "Yup, breasts are a big plus. That and the fact that she doesn't think she's in charge here."
Pyrovisionary Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Sarge smirked at the chit-chat "I don't think if I had tits you lot'd be more obedient." He finished skinning the animal and stretched, "Right then. Gimme a heal Laurence and lets glass those rogue priests."

Sandy Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 "We leave for those cultists after we do this. Handbag don't need much material does it." and started skinning the beast He then walked over to the corpse of one of the slain creatures and plunged his sword in the carcass, skinning the dead beast. "Eww!" Periwinkle uttered, disgusted by the flaying of the beasts. "Guys, I was only joking!" "Let us not tarry any longer! These animals were injured by something, and I have a hunch that something was those cultists..." The party scouted onwards, following the path made by the fleeing beasts, until they came to a clearing with multiple abandoned tentpoles, dropped foodstuff and lukewarm fireplaces. Djuvali inspected the site with dread. "This was their campsite, and it looks like there were a lot of them. Just as I feared, they are going to hit Salmanda hard and fast, veiled by the night.... Luckily, they have not left long ago. The golden city is in grave danger, but maybe you can still save many lives if you hurry!" Rex suddenly grabbed the cobra priest by his tunic. "DAMN! Did you trick us here to give more time to your pals, you SNAKE?!" "N-no, I swear!" Djuvali glanced at the heroes for help. What would they do?

Cutcobra Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) "I might just kill him because of his eye-shattering outfit, but not because I believe he teamed up with slimy snakes. Who in their right mind would do that?" As he says this, Heckz thinks about the irony of him saying that whilst working with worn-up snakes himself. "And if Poopywinkle won't use that precious leather, I will." Edited December 9, 2015 by Cutcobra
Zepher Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 "I knew we should have left a guard." Boomingham turns to Rex. "Take him with us. There's no time to execute him, and we don't know if he's misled us or not. He did take us the camp - no reason for that if he's with them. I could have wandered around this swamp endlessly. Whatever his case is, our primary objective now is the city."
Khorne Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 "Wow...", Eric respondes to Peri, somewhat flabbergasted. "You really ought to work on your jokes more." Eric turned to Djuvali in a more threatening manner. "Take a cue from this guy. He's playing a big joke on us. Leading us away from the city knowing these desert rats can't hold their own against the Snake Priests." The Nord tossed his skinnings on the ground and sheathed his sword. "Whoever wants the leather, take it. I'm off to the city to deal with this mess and then get out of here. I've about had it with these people." Taking a swig of Mead, Eric strode back to Salmanda.
Pyrovisionary Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Sarge handed the floraphant leather to Heckz for fashion purposes and grumbled at Peri, disgruntled. When they arrived at the site, he looked over it with the nostalgia of a soldier. It reminded him of the old camps in Charis. As neither Peri nor Boomingham had responded to his request for healing, he let boomingham heal him, then headed for the city Edited December 10, 2015 by Pyrovisionary
Zepher Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Boomingham clears his head as he watches Sarge chugging some potions. He puts his hand over the lids. "Sorry, chappo. Getting distracted. The wife always said my brain wasn't much good for remembering." He heals Peri, Sarge, and Rex to full health.
Cutcobra Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Sarge handed the floraphant leather to Heckz for fashion purposes and grumbled at Peri, disgruntled. "Thank you for making the right decision, Sarling." Heckz follows the party.

Whatever his case is, our primary objective now is the city." "No, don't force me to go back there! They will kill me there - either the citizens or the cultists! I need to..." Rex smacked the priest to the back of his head, knocking him out. The rhinotaur then lugged him over his shoulder. "READY when you are, boss!" Hastily the party returned to Salmanda, but it was midnight before they saw the walls of the city again. Would they enter through the Palace District, the Holy District or the Slums?

Zepher Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 With a silent curse, Boomingham realizes that he has disbanded the group of people meant to keep the Almgasta safe. "Rex, you, me and pretty boy are going to the Palace to rendezvous with the Black Scorpion and make sure the Queen is safe. I think the rest of you should make your way to the Sisters and make sure they're safe - some of them can fight. Rally them. I'm guessing the Cultists won't have a reason to harm the people in the Slums."
Pyrovisionary Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Sarge took a second to comprehend what Boomingham said, shrugged, nodded then grinned "What he said" he sniggered for a second then gestured for Eric and Peri to follow him to the Holy district the boys - and peri - were back
Cutcobra Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 With a silent curse, Boomingham realizes that he has disbanded the group of people meant to keep the Almgasta safe. "Rex, you, me and pretty boy are going to the Palace to rendezvous with the Black Scorpion and make sure the Queen is safe. I think the rest of you should make your way to the Sisters and make sure they're safe - some of them can fight. Rally them. I'm guessing the Cultists won't have a reason to harm the people in the Slums." "You don't tell me what to do!" "Oh, I've had this wonderful idea. Me, guy whose name starts with 'boo' and Roxy should all go to the Palace District. Let's go!" Heckz goes to the Palace District.
Khorne Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 "Try not to faint this time, boy wonder", Eric grinned at Heckz and then followed Sarge, Peri trailing him.
Sandy Posted December 12, 2015 Author Posted December 12, 2015 QM Note: Apologies for the lack of illustrations, I had to dismantle most of the MOCs for this quest when I moved, and my building time has been very limited recently. When the heroes arrived to the city gates, they saw the large gates wide open, and the guards dead on the ground. They could see smoke and hear screams coming from ahead. Quickly they split up to cover as much ground as they could. Boomingham, Heckz and Rex hurried back to the Floral Square in front of the Almagesta's Palace. There they saw the Black Scorpion Knight defending the palace gates with some guards. They were up against a horde of Venomari cultists with fearsome weresnakes among them. "For Salmanda! For the Almagesta!" the valiant knight shouted to rally his remaining troops. Near the raging battle, the heroes saw Vipersace's boutique in flames. The weresnake merchant himself tried to appeal to the cultists. "Ssstop thisss madnesss! Sssalmanda isss not an enemy of the Venomari!" "Save your excuses to the Serpent God! Death to traitors!" the cultist shouted and lunged his weapon through Vipersace, piercing him to the door of his burning shop. "HEY! That was your last mistake, pal!" The cultist turned against the party, and lead a small group away from the big battle to face them. PREPARE FOR BATTLE! THE HEROES HAVE THE INITIATIVE!

"They are heading towards the Temple of Danab! The Sisters will be helpless against such a force!" Leading the cultists and weresnakes was a female naga wearing an ornamental headdress. Suddenly a red-clad woman appeared to block the army's path. "Turn back, writhing snakes! This night will be your doom! Salmanda will not fall to your poison, it is the truth of Fabula Sibylla!" "Your false goddess means nothing to us, heretic. Rip her to pieces, servants of Venomari!" "My goddess, I am coming for you!" shrieked the Oracle as the frenzied cultists dashed towards her. She took a large bomb from her long sleeve, and uncorked it before the foes realized her intentions. A blast ripped through the mob, sending blood and body parts everywhere. "Do not falter, the Serpent God is on our side!" the naga priestess shouted to her army as she got back up. Then she noticed the heroes behind them. "You in the back, take care of those foreigners. The rest will follow me to those white whores!" "With pleasssure, Mertssseger!" hissed the two heads of the red weresnake in the back of the army, turning against the heroes with some companions.

Khorne Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 "Those are some nice tattoos you got there," Eric grinned wickedly. "Too bad I'm going to have to carve them up." The Nord drew Conspirator for the umpteenth time and once more spun the blade in his hand, preparing for combat. Proposed plan of action: Eric uses Feather of White: - First turn of Hiding: Smelling Salts - Second turn: Mulled Wine and Ambrosia or perhaps use Potion on team member - Third turn: unleash Hell Sarge stays in the back row for his attacks and taking the first Free Hits. Peri heals Sarge all the time
Zepher Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Boomingham glances at Vipersace and sees the light fading from his eyes too quickly to be saved. He digs around in his pouch, his hand brushing briefly over the Phoenix Essence before realizing reviving the snake would only lead to his death again, unless they can unpin him from the door, for which there was no time. Boomingham instead decides to honor him with vengeance. He quickly sniffs a smelling salt with his initiative as Rex drinks his Soma. Boomingham next drinks a Nostrum and attacks the Blakesnakeman from the back row with his Frozen Saber. Rex attacks the Bluesnakeman from the back row. "Pretty boy, you'll have to handle the human cultists for now. But if you let some through, me and Rex can take them." Battle Order Boomingham Heckz Boomingham Rex OoC: I think Rex needs to go at the end of the battle order, in case he rolls for us to be confused. So maybe actually a better plan would be if you took on the blue snake dude and Rex killed a Cultist? Whoever targets the blue snake should go last. Let me know the plan!
Cutcobra Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 OoC: I'd rather have Heckz fast asleep than Rex, so maybe he should go last and attack the blue snakesman. Heckz takes an Ether Core in his Intiative. Heckz quickly looks and smirks. "White, purple and burgundy together? You people are begging to be executed." Heckz throws a darkball of magical goodness at Blue Snakeman from the back row.
Pyrovisionary Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 "Those are some nice tattoos you got there," Eric grinned wickedly. "Too bad I'm going to have to carve them up." "I'm sure we could redo them tats with a little bit of Red ink. I got me very own needle here" he proffered the demonic greatsword and hefted it aloft. Battle order: Eric goes along with his plan of action Proposed plan of action: Eric uses Feather of White: - First turn of Hiding: Smelling Salts - Second turn: Mulled Wine and Ambrosia or perhaps use Potion on team member - Third turn: unleash Hell Sarge attacks the green snakeman (double) from the back row Sarge attacks the red snakeman ( & venomari extremist) from the back row Peri heals sarge from the back row
