"Syrma, it would be great if you could attack will-o-wisp D."

"Very well. Elbereth, shine true!"

Results of Round Two of the Forest Fire Battle:

Monk Pretzel vs. Flamboa A (& Flamboa B) - Shield (Toolkit: Naptime! - Pretzel: full health restored)

>Namyrra uses Grand Potion on Thormanil - (Thormanil: +25 health)

>Nerwen (Party Maracas) vs. Will-o'-the-Wisp A - Shield (Sound of Music - Rastaban: 1531 health-(50x2=100 dmg)=1431 health; Flamboa A: 593 health-50 dmg=543 health; Flamboa B: 593 health-50 dmg=543 health; Wisp A: 38 health-50 dmg=0 health; Wisp B: 72 health-50 dmg=22 health; Wisp C: 124 health-50 dmg=74 health; Wisp D: 166 health-50 dmg=116 health; Free Lucky Chant: increased battle result for other allies)

>Nerwen sings Lucky Chant does nothing

Thormanil (Dragonsbane Lance) vs. Rastaban - Shield/Special Damage (Dragon's Wrath: Fury From Above - Rastaban: 1431 health-((108x3=324)+(47x2/2=47)=371x2=742 dmg)=689 health; Wisp D: 116 health-(47x2/2=47 dmg)=69 health; Flamboa A: 543 health-(47x4/2=94 dmg)=449 health)

>Arx vs. Will-o'-the-Wisp B - Shield/Shield (Dragon's Wrath: Fury From Above - Rastaban: 689 health-((108x3=324)+(47x2/2=47)=371x2=742 dmg)=0 health; Wisp D: 69 health-(47x2/2=47 dmg)=22 health; Flamboa A: 449 health-(47x4/2=94 dmg)=355 health)

Syrma vs. Will-o'-the-Wisp D - Shield/Meditate (Lecture - Wisp D: blinded, sealed, asleep, fragile and weakened for 3 rounds; Syrma: immune to earth and darkness for 3 rounds, -9 ether)

Johon vs. Will-o'-the-Wisp C - Hit/Extra Critical Hit/Special Damage (Wisp C: 74 health-63 dmg=11 health)

Flamboa B - Free Hit on Monk Pretzel (Pretzel: 61 health+36 SP-34 dmg=61 health)

Monk Pretzel dozes off for a while as Namyrra heals Thormanil and Nerwen gets the party started with her Maracas. Her playing damages all enemies and she gets to sing the Lucky Chant without consuming ether. Thormanil and Arx show Rastaban the true power of dragoons, and the fearsome Brimstone Dragon falls with a great roar.

"Treachery! Brahne forgot to mention... you were this damned powerful... Go on... Kill the witch so I can... get back at her... in the Great Beyond..."

With the firestarter gone, all the party had to do was to douse the flames. Oddly enough, Syrma begins to give the fire spirits a lecture, and Johon tries to put them out with a whip.

"Right, almost done I think. Master Nihai, if you and master Johon could throw one water bomb each I believe we'll have the wisps covered, Syrma, perhaps you could use your scroll of frailty on Flamboa B? Miss Calmcacil, as lovely as your singing is I guess you'll want to conserve your ether for now, but do as you please."

Namyrra repeats

Rastaban attacks Flamboa B

Battle order:

Nerwen

Thormanil

Johon

Syrma

Rastaban

Namyrra

Pretzel

"You'll yet meet our Friend, Rastaban. Rest comes to those who earn it."

He throws another water bomb, while Arx attacks Flamboa A, front row.

Johon, starting to be worn out by the flames, throws a water bomb at the enemies.

Palathadric · July 12, 2015

The pleasure at dealing such a powerful hit does not last long as I feel a sharp pain in my head.

"Darn!" I mumble, repeating my attack hesitantly.

Nerwen uses the party maracas to attack flamboa B twice.

QM Note: I just remembered that Rastaban and the Wisps should have gained 2 health per round due to the weather effect. Oh well, it wouldn't have made any difference, anyway... :tongue:

Results of Round Four of the Forest Fire Battle:

>Nerwen vs. Flamboa B - Cheer Up (Nerwen: +5 ether)

>Thormanil uses Water Bomb - (All enemies: -10 dmg, Wisp C: 0 health)

>Johon uses Water Bomb - (All enemies: -10 dmg Wisp B & D: 0 health)

Syrma does nothing

Rastaban hits Flamboa B - (Flamboa B: 361 health-52 dmg=309 health; Namyrra: -1 ether)

Namyrra (Water) vs. Flamboa B - Shield (Raise Army - Wisp B, C & D raised as undead; Namyrra: -3 ether)

Monk Pretzel vs. Flamboa A (& Flamboa B) - Special Damage (Burning Chokehold - Pretzel: bound)

>Arx vs. Flamboa A - Breath (Flamboa A: 173 health-(47/2=24 dmg)=149 health)

Nerwen cheers herself up with a quick chanty, recovering some of her lost ether. Thormanil and Johon make quick work of the remaining Wisps with their watery bombs, allowing Namyrra to raise them into her undead army. One of the Flamboas gets a chokehold on Pretzel, but it cannot hurt him due to his helmet. Two more enemies remain!

Hey, this hitting things rather than just singing works out ok.

Nerwen hits Flamboa B twice again.

**Quarryman** · July 13, 2015

Namyrra and Rastaban repeat.

Same battle order.

swils · July 13, 2015

Thormanil (Shishkebab) and Arx both attack Flamboa A, front row.

I was wondering about that, heh. Also, wouldn't it have been 4, since the 2 damage from weather would have been doubled by the weather's effects? :tongue:

Palathadric · July 13, 2015

Finding myself tied by the feet, I quickly survey my options and choose to attack Flamboa B with the Flying Cross.

**Sandy** · July 14, 2015

Results of Round Five of the Forest Fire Battle:

>Nerwen vs. Flamboa B - Damage (Nerwen: 15 health+2 SP-(34/2=17 dmg)=0 health)

>Nerwen vs. Flamboa B

Thormanil (Shishkebab) vs. Flamboa A (twice) - Shield (Dragon's Wrath: Fury From Above - Flamboa A: 173 health-((96+96=192)+(47x4/2=94)=286 dmg)=0 health; Flamboa B: 361 health-(47x4/2=94 dmg)=267 health)

>Johon does nothing

>Syrma does nothing

Rastaban hits Flamboa B - (Flamboa B: 267 health-52 dmg=215 health; Namyrra: -1 ether)

>Namyrra (Water) vs. Flamboa B - Damage (Namyrra: 49 health+10 SP-(34/2=17 dmg)=42 health)

Monk Pretzel vs. Flamboa B - Shield (Toolkit: Spirited Away! - Flamboa B: removed from battle)

>Arx vs. Flamboa A

Nerwen gets knocked out by the flamboa's strike, but her party mates avenge her swiftly. First Thormanil and Arx take out the other flamboa, then Monk Pretzel vanquishes the other. The flames around them die out.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!

Namyrra, Thormanil and Arx gain three fifths of a level, while Johon, Monk Pretzel and Syrma gain a fourth. Nerwen is revived with one health. The enemies drop the following items:

Brimstone Armor (SP:6, absorbs fire damage; causes fire damage equal to wearer’s defense to those that hit the wearer with normal attacks; suitable to barbarians, knights, dragoons, skirmishers, regulators and vindicators; bodywear)

5x Dragon Scale (Grants lucky- and blessed-effects when consumed.)

Mulled Wine (Causes the inspired-effect, doubling the target's current and maximum health for the duration of one battle.)

The Star Elven scholar sighed in relief as the battle was over, but there was still sadness in her dark blue eyes.

"Thank you for your aid, noble vagrants. I forgot to properly introduce myself. I am Syrma of the House of Virginia. I ventured outside our sealed capital to research the seven ancient cities that were laid into ruin by the war between my people and the Fenarians. The animosity between our kinds has lasted for several millenia, although there has been a temporary armistice for some time now. Me and my entourage were on our way to the ruins of Valtira when the dragon suddenly ambushed us. Look at this map; Valtira is the red spot north of the Fenarian Mountains. We are not far from it."

"I do hope some of the others are still alive, though." Syrma began to sob. "My bethroted, *sob* Zaniah, *sob* was among them *sob*..."

The spectral dragon hovering above the party then spoke.

"I wouldn't... count on it... I usually do... a thorough job..."

"Please, could you not help me look for Zaniah and the others? I beg of you! I can guide you wherever you are going in return!"

"You know, it just seems strangely...'irreverent' to keep that dragon undead with us. You really should release it. These creatures have an amazing amount of power even when they're dead and we wouldn't want the witch to somehow be able to control us throughout. I heard she had some necromantic tendencies..."

I gaze at the dragon and shudder.

"Pitiful beast!" I mumble.

Thormanil growled, and countered, "I trust Namyrra's powers to suffice for now. But he certainly won't be allowed to pass before he tells us what tricks Baba used to ensnare him. So, Rastaban?"

"Don't worry old man, I can handle him."

**Sandy** · July 14, 2015

QM Note: Loot distribution, please?

Thormanil growled, and countered, "I trust Namyrra's powers to suffice for now. But he certainly won't be allowed to pass before he tells us what tricks Baba used to ensnare him. So, Rastaban?"

The ghostly dragon grinned menacingly.

"I am... no longer... your bitch, dragoon... I only obey... the Necromancer..."

Syrma looked at the heroes that did not seem to listen to anything she had to say.

"Will you help me or not? Please, I have no means to find anything through this billowing smoke..."

It was true; even though the flames had been doused, the trees and other plants still emitted a thick smoke, blurring their surroundings.

What would the heroes decide?

~INTERLUDE~

"So neither a Void Eater nor a dragon were enough to stop them. I have to up the ante..."

"I still do not understand how you got a hold of such power. Controlling demons of the Void is one thing, and forging pacts with dragons is another, but who else has the prowess to do both?"

"Oh, I've collected bits and bobs here and there over the years. Trust me, I have had time..."

During my time at the Tower of Babel, I got to see the notorious sorcerers at their prime. Weaving their dark magics, they inadvertedly corrupted the lands of Babeleth forever, but back then they did not think of the consequences. I watched as a silent servant, and I learned. They named me Ambergaze, for my fiery, lidless eyes were always prying their sinister secrets.

I probably would have stayed there much longer, if I had not heard the call of a certain book. It was the culmination of the sorcerers' powers, their greatest and most lethal invention. The book was called the Pandemonicon, and despite there being multiple copies of it, it had a mind of its own. I could not read it myself, but it promised me greatness should I deliver it away from the greedy and small-minded sorcerers, and into the hands of people with true power.

Then, one fateful night I managed to escape the Tower with three copies of the Pandemonicon in a burlap sack. I ran along the red brick road that the sorcerers had built across Babeleth, knowing that I needed somewhere to hide. No, I needed to hide my true nature, for a Mindflayer would stick out like a sore thumb in any crowd. So, I left the road and diverged into the woods...

"You got three copies of the most dangerous magic tome ever written? Dare I ask, where are they now?"

"You'll learn when I get to that part. I promised you my story, so let me tell it in it's entirety. Now, in those woods, that's where I earned my second name; The Eatress."

Disappointed that she was knocked out just as the battle ended and missed the experience of defeating the flamboas, Nerwen shrugs.

Sure. Let's help.

Thormanil snarled, frustrated with the minion's insolence. Meanwhile, Arx flew up above the smoke, recognizing the need for some direction here.

**Quarryman** · July 15, 2015

Loot distribution:

Johon: Brimstone armour

Namyrra, Pretzel, Thormanil, Syrma: 1 dragon scale

Nerwen: mulled wine, 1 dragon scale

"Rastaban, do you know the way out by any chance? And Syrma, I very much would like to help you, so unless anyone has some very good reasons for why we shouldn't, I say we will help you."

While waiting for answers Namyrra summons Mediq to heal Nerwen.

Palathadric · July 15, 2015

"I'm sorry, but I understand the need to rescue her from a dragon and fire, but helping her find a dead body seems pointless and more like a distraction than anything else."

I mutter to the others and snort a little.

"We've got big fish to fry."
