Heroica RPG - Quest #139: Around the World (West)

[The Legonater]

I take a breath of relief, getting to my feet.

Welcome back, Matthias. Not the best of reunions, but it'll do.

Zane, hit the Wyrm heads. Direct your corpses to do the same. Matthias, you take Adult Body B, I'll take C. Parvati, Solimon, you're on the baby wyrms.

Matthias gasps as he's crushed by the wyrm and pulls in ether to heal himself.

What happened to the undead body?

Perfect. Parvati, get us closer to Guts. Zane, keep up the good work. Your team is going to continue knocking down the kids. Matthias, you and I are still on the heads. Nice work back there.

I target Body A with the Mockthrill Longbow.

Same Battle Order.

OoC: You used up too much ether.

[The Legonater]

Oh.

Parvati, belay that, give Zane a tonic. Zane, your beasts are going to take the remaining targets.

[StickFig]

Shouldn't Solimon have been cured of *Burning* by Matthias' Shield?

Matthias surveys the weather change and shouts to Rone and the mage, "No, I'll give Zane a tonic, Parvati should attack while the weather holds!"

> Parvati: Light Spell vs. Body B

> Matthias: Tonic vs. Zane

[The Legonater]

Good point. Parvati, you heard the gnome.

Guts joins the party

Guts rejoins the party as they hold off the wyrms. The Court of Demons visibly tenses. Solimon comes to land so that he and Parvati stand back-to-back, one facing the wyrms, and one facing Guts. Zane just glances over his shoulder.

"Welcome back, baldy. Ready to give me that map?"

[The Legonater]

Welcome to the party, boss. Unless you got a better suggestion, I suggest we wrap this up tight with a bow. It's almost Grogmas after all, isn't it?

Zane, go Sorcerer. Keep on the two heads. Keep your wyrms and your demons on the bodies. Matthias, Guts, take out Adult Body A. I'll try to wrap up C.

Battle Order:

[Zepher]

"You're not giving orders yet, Dyric," says Zane as he eyes Guts. "I want to hear what your boss has to say."

[The Legonater]

I'll give orders when I please, Zane, and you'll do as ordered if you ever want to see our half of the map.

[Zepher]

Parvati and Solimon shift uncomfortably closer to each other as the wyrms circle their prey.

"I agreed to help your friends, but for a price." Zane growls. "I've never welched on you. I've respected you. You owe me the same."

[Scubacarrot]

“We deal with these worms you summoned, then we talk. lead on Dyric.“

[StickFig]

"I've never welched on you. I've respected you. You owe me the same."

"Master Dyric might, but the rest of us owe you nothing, so finish the fight now and we'll argue later," Matthias snaps, attacking Adult Desert Wyrm Body A.

> Matthias: Pongcanis Crossbow vs. Adult Desert Wyrm Body A

[Scubacarrot]

“Medusa and the bandits they send after us are dead, or soon will be. you will be joining them if you don't tell me where Daneeka is.“ Guts says to the remnants of the court.

Guts attacks Zane with both weapons from the back row, twice.

Edited December 9, 2015 by Scubacarrot

[The Legonater]

Daneeka is in the adult wyrm. We don't have a lot of time left. Focus on the real enemy for now. We can kill each other later.

[Scubacarrot]

"You're missing the point. Zane and his whores summoned these things. This ends now."

[Zepher]

"Medusa is dead?" asks Parvati, her eyes wide suddenly.

"You are a foolish bully," snarls Zane, but the anger drops from his face suddenly and he grows neutral. His voice grows soft. "Your pride has made you stupid, Mister Holla. I imagine you come from privilege. Zane and myself do not. We were born into slavery and the hovels. We know how to think how to survive. You can only think of how to bully. If we wished to kill you, why would we have come to your aid at all? Why not let the necromancers kill you? If we could summon wyrms, why would we bring our Court into danger? If we could summon wyrms, why would Medusa be dead." Zane glances at Dyric. "I told Dyric I was willing to negotiate with you, but you have just told us once the wyrms are dead, we will be too. Very well." Zane takes out the half of Iceborn's Map and zaps it. It withers to smithereens. "Now there is no more contention between us. You may attend to saving your friend, and we can attend to saving ours. Parvati, create a sandstorm. If Medusa was swallowed whole, there may still be time to save her."

Parvati stares at Matthias with a look of fury and betrayal, and begins to whip up a sandstorm.

"Your doctor is in the weaker baby wyrm, not the adult," she tells the heroes as she prepares to flee.

[The Legonater]

Well that was a supreme waste of effort. Any plans now?

[Scubacarrot]

"He hasn't destroyed it. It's a trick. The plan is the same. We save Daneeka, we kill Zane." Guts folded his arms as if that were the end of that.

"You really think he was telling the truth Dyric? About them summoning the worms. They're the court of demons, know that summoning and controlling are not the same thing."

I don't know. I want to assume they're smart enough not to commit total suicide like that, but to be fair their predecessors did try to make Wren a goddess. If you think you can see through this mischief, by all means try.

[Zepher]

Zane's voice remains level. "Suicidal? There wasn't anything suicidal about it. Your boss made it clear I would die regardless of what I did." Zane turns to Guts. "You are stupid and stubborn. Given the choice of you reaching your goal and me dying, or you not reaching your goal and me dying, which did you think I would choose? Use your magic compass if you like. Try to search for the other half of the map. It is gone. And without it you will never find the Fountain."

Reunited v. Wyrms Round Four

>Zane v. Guts (Sorcerer) - Shield ([40+26]/10-4=3 Damage, Guts Stunned, 7 Gold Stolen from all heroes)

>Zane flees (Rogue)

Guts v. Zane - Stunned

Guts v. Zane Adult Body A - Damage/Critical Hit ([([20*2]+40+4)+([64*2]+40+4)]*2*2=KO Body A&C, +3 Health)

>Dyric v. Baby Head A - Critical Hit/Shield (No Assassinations)

>Matthias Baby Body A - Damage (30/2-4=11 Damage)

>Parvati predicts Sandstorm - Success (Sandstorm 3 turns, -1 ether)

>Solimon flees

Baby Desert Wyrm B v. Guts - 55/2-4=24 Damage

Baby Desert Wyrm Body B v. Dyric - 30/2-6=9 Damage

Burning Effects All Wyrms

All Combatents Dealt -1 earth damage (mist erases elemental immunity for the round)

Sandstorm - Doubles earth damage, halves electricity, and deals 1 earth damage to all combatants each round. Grants all combatants the ability to blind on successful hits, and the ability to flee to all combatants

Zane dodges Guts' attacks and flees, and Parvati whips up a sandstorm to mask Solimon's ascension to the skies.

"You've killed your friend," she says as she stands boldly with the heroes. "The Doctor cannot possibly survive much longer within that wyrm."

[The Legonater]

You knew the whole time what wyrm he was in. You could have told us. You just as easily killed him yourself.

But I've never been one to give up on hope.

Anyone who's up, target that wyrm. Guts, any clever ideas?
