This round goes the exact opposite way of the last one. Quintessa heals Kellim with a Remedy and then teams up with Cree in dealing serious wounds to Canicula. Kellim goes one-on-one with Canicula, scoring a massive hit against the champion, but getting slashed in the process and collapsing to the hay floor.

Pemo rushes into the room and sees what's going on. Seeing the crowds all cheering loudly, he stops and silently winks at the heroes.

"Watch what happens to those who attack without reason those who are here to help us."

The party avenges their party leader's fall immediately. Quintessa gets two really solid hits in that bring Canicula's health down to a critical level. He still is able to lash out at the whole party though. However, Cree is able to resist the strike and does just enough to put Canicula down at long last. Kheyli's rejoicing is cut short by the spiders wrapping her up in their webs.

Pemo looks on, visibly impressed. The crowd of animals watching are too stunned to speak as their champion falls to the heroes' blows.

Keliim gets up from the floor onto his knees and holds his head. "Darn, what a punch!" The big man drinks from one of his bottles of special brew and additional a Mead to clear his head from the bloodrage and hit from the dog. "Thank th' gods fort my fast recovery. With out it, its would be hard to just get up after a fight like this. I canst understand why th´dark master Karain wanted individuals withst this talent into his ranks, He thinks to himself.

He stands up and looks around, it seems the battle is over and the heroes have been victorious. "Guid job everybody, we really work'd as a team an' pull'd through tooghter. I am most proud.

He sees the dog lying there, he walks over to it to check if it is still alive... it doesn´t seem like it. "Look now what ye got ye into..." He changes the Cowl on again, instead of the Heroic Helm.

He shakes his head and pulls out some of his teeth and fangs as trophys. He shows them to the crowd, "Here ist th' dead champion, his dead wast in total vain. Th's happens to those who canst not be reason'd with."

He shakes his head and pulls out some of his teeth and fangs as trophys. He shows them to the crowd, "Here ist th' dead champion, his dead wast in total vain. Th's happens to those who canst not be reason'd with."

The crowd of farm animals gathered around roar in dismay as Kellim shows them the body parts of their champion. The barn is filled with loud murmuring.

"You killed the champion."

"How could you? And you say you were here to help us."

"I'm sure they meant well..."

"Die! Die! Die!"

The crowd surges forward towards the heroes, but Bonaparte presses through their midst, with Cheapy following just behind.

"Stop! Look at what these people have done before you spur yourselves into action!"

"Our champion...he is dead. He was our last hope."

"No! Your first hope. Not your last. Not your last by any means. You fail to see the power that is within each one of you. You can rise to this occasion. You can be the ones to act. You don't need to wait for others. If you don't want the death of our champion to be in vain, then let his legacy live on in you. Remember, that he always acted where he could. Perhaps not always wisely, but act he did. You can do the same...anyone of you.

"But not even he could be these humans. How are we supposed to beat many more?"

"It's not about that..."

Cheapy sidles up to the heroes, and quietly beckons them to follow him outside. Once there, he breathes deeply and begins excitedly.

"Well done, heroes. I wasn't sure you'd be able to best the old canine, but you did marvelously. I think you gave Bonaparte the trust in you that he needed and certainly the animals have a new respect for you. No one has beaten the champion before. You really should be on your way though. That fight took a lot longer than it should have and I fear that the farmers do often get an early start in the morning. Furthermore, it appears that the champion may have been trying to organize a coup of some sort against the venerable Bonaparte. Whatever the case, you should be on your way at once. Unfortunately, I cannot accompany you, but Bonaparte did write out these instructions for you."

He slips Kellim a note, which reads:

Meet Pimky at the backside of Farster's Barn, behind the stables, where they keep the wood. He will give you instructions as to what to do and which item you need to collect for me as the sign to the animals.

PS: Good job!

"Good luck, heroes! Anything you have to ask before you go?

[Mencot]

"Good te see ye again, Cheapy."

He reads the note and also shows it to the others. He nods to the mouse.

"Very well th'n. Tell us, what canst we await when we meet th's Pimky?"

[Mencot]

Keliim looks at the others "Hmm, do we habt any other questions? Quintessa? ye knowst anythin' to ask th't wouldst help us?"

[Pedguin]

I put on the cowl, removing the cape.

[K-Nut]

Kheyli eats her Buffalo Wings. "I have no questions,"

[Mencot]

"Hmmph, I guess we don´t habt any more questions th'n!" The big man says with a disappointed tone. "When it came to fighting we were pretty darn good but when it came to speaking and diplomatic conservation... some major improvement would be needed." he thought to himself.

"Aye, alrigh't Cheapy, if ye habt some info on Pimky or some inside information th't ye canst share withst us th't wouldst help us in our quest, it wouldst be most helpful. After th't I thinkst we art ready to move."

[Sandy]

Quintessa inspected the Sharpened Fang she had received, and applied it to her Rolling Pin (if it can be done right away). Then she nodded to her companions.

"The battle was a lot more difficult than Our first, but We are satisfied about the outcome. Lead the way, Mister Keliim."

[Palathadric]

"Very well th'n. Tell us, what canst we await when we meet th's Pimky?"

"Hmmph, I guess we don´t habt any more questions th'n!" The big man says with a disappointed tone. "When it came to fighting we were pretty darn good but when it came to speaking and diplomatic conservation... some major improvement would be needed." he thought to himself.

"Aye, alrigh't Cheapy, if ye habt some info on Pimky or some inside information th't ye canst share withst us th't wouldst help us in our quest, it wouldst be most helpful. After th't I thinkst we art ready to move."

"No idea, really. He is Bonaparte's right-hand man...pig...whatever. Bonaparte's kind. I don't believe even Bonaparte knows what is needed. It was Pimky who said he needed help though, that's one of the main reasons Bonaparte hired you, so I'm sure you'll find out quickly enough. You can say the part about diplomacy again. But I wouldn't worry too much about the issue with Canicula. He was an unreasonable fool and it was always going to get him killed one of these days. Nevertheless, the barn animals will be sorry to see him go. As far a Pimky is concerned...what can I say? He's the spitting image of Bonaparte. That is all. So long heroes!"

The heroes head on their way to the location Bonaparte's note described. They hear a weirdest of droning noises, but are only met by a rather skittish character.

Quintessa inspected the Sharpened Fang she had received, and applied it to her Rolling Pin (if it can be done right away). Then she nodded to her companions.

"The battle was a lot more difficult than Our first, but We are satisfied about the outcome. Lead the way, Mister Keliim."

The big man looks on what she makes off her rolling pin and smile, "Nowst th't ist one deadly kitchen utensil, aye."

"'nd just Keliim ist fine."

"No idea, really. He is Bonaparte's right-hand man...pig...whatever. Bonaparte's kind. I don't believe even Bonaparte knows what is needed. It was Pimky who said he needed help though, that's one of the main reasons Bonaparte hired you, so I'm sure you'll find out quickly enough. You can say the part about diplomacy again. But I wouldn't worry too much about the issue with Canicula. He was an unreasonable fool and it was always going to get him killed one of these days. Nevertheless, the barn animals will be sorry to see him go. As far a Pimky is concerned...what can I say? He's the spitting image of Bonaparte. That is all. So long heroes!"

"Thenk ye, Cheapy th't ist of some help. So lang, until we meit again.!

The heroes head on their way to the location Bonaparte's note described. They hear a weirdest of droning noises, but are only met by a rather skittish character.

"I...um...I wasn't doing anything, I swear...!"

The big man try to speak as calmly and carefuly, looking around him that there isn´t anyone around. "Hello Pimky, Pemo sent us! Ist th're some place safe to talk."

"Who are you?"

*said in a voice more shrill than the heroes had heard up until now...*

[Sandy]

"Who are you?"

"We are heroes of Heroica, hired by your friend to aid the distressed animals of this farm. We were informed you had instructions for us, about some items we are supposed to gather."

[Mencot]

"We are heroes of Heroica, hired by your friend to aid the distressed animals of this farm. We were informed you had instructions for us, about some items we are supposed to gather."

The big man nods his head "Aye to what th' auld lady said.

We wert told 'bout somekind of "Sign"."
