Heroica RPG- Quest #144: The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

[Kintobor]

Battle Order:

>Ellaria remedies Skrall (Doomed removed!)

>Nerwen plays Lucky Chant (All heroes Lucky for remainder of round. -8 ether)

>Ellaria uses a Grand Potion on herself (+30 health!)

Ellaria vs. Silver Carp School A- Hit/Special Damage (20x32=54/2=27 damage)

Nur vs. Silver Carps School B- Special Damage/Damage (16-7=9 damage)

>Thalion casts electricity on Bruce- Crit/Miss (13x2+32x4=232 KO!)

>Skrall vs. Krakenling School- Aim/Special Damage (12x6=72x4=288 damage KO!)

All enemies take 10 damage.

The party begins to reel in their opponents, as Ellaria sweeps up and remedies Nur, neutralizing the potentially dooming situation. Nerwen continues to sing out her lucky chant while Ellaria continues to mallet her opponents to death. Nur meanwhile misses his attack and gets slapped in the face by one of the fish, leaving a stinging mark across his face. Thalion casts down one final lightning strike, electrifying Bruce to a crisp. His corpse bobs above the surface, scarred and charred, his burnt flesh leaving a distinct smell in the salty air. Skrall continues to be a badass and snipes the remaining Krakenling. The battle continues!

Party Leader, please determine battle order. Everyone else, choose an action.

[Chromeknight]

The battle is all but over. The fish cannot hurt either Thalion or Skrall if they stand back, and the poison will do them in in a handful of moments. Let us call this battle done and move on.

[-obelix-]

The battle is all but over. The fish cannot hurt either Thalion or Skrall if they stand back, and the poison will do them in in a handful of moments. Let us call this battle done and move on.

"Mistress Nerwen is right, we should just wait until the poison does its work."

Thalion switches Ribcage Shield for Handy Shield in the back row.

[Sandy]

"Very well, we shall wait until the poison does them in."

Battle Order:

Thalion

Skrall

Ellaria

Nur

Nerwen

[Jebediahs]

En Sabah Nur stands back and does nothing as the schools of fish writhe in anguish. He leaves them to their slow and protracted death.

[Waterbrick Down]

Skrall stands back waiting for the fish to slowly succumb to the poison.

[Kintobor]

QM Note: As you wish! SHAZAM!!!

Battle Order:

>Thalion does nothing

>Skrall does nothing

>Ellaria continues to tank

>Nur does nothing

>Nerwen does nothing

All enemies take 10 damage. All enemies defeated!

The heroes decide to step back and allow the poison to do the work for them. They watch as the silver carps struggle with the poison in their systems. It takes awhile, but eventually the two remaining fish bob up to the surface, dead.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!!!

[Sandy]

OoC: The description of Demon Repellent has been adjusted somewhat: (Makes the user impervious to direct attacks from demons during one battle unless he is the last hero standing; consumable.)

"Is this the end of the story?" Ellaria wondered, as the heroes stood on the lonely sandbank. "We should prepare for the next chapter so that you guys give me all the excessive consumables you have for loan, as they are the only way I can support this party and keep you guys healthy. I spent quite a portion of my own inventory in that battle, so I fear I'll run out of useful stuff in the next one."

Loot Distribution:

Nur: Demon Repellent, Silver Ore

Skrall: Kraken Fang, Silver Ore

Thalion: Sharkskin Hide, Ether Core

Ellaria: Demon Repellent

Nerwen: Scroll of Water Warding, Ether Core

[Waterbrick Down]

OoC: Skrall should be at full health due to his Natural Restoration.

Skrall sorts himself out before handing some of his consumables to Ellaria. Consuming a Mead The ogre seats himself on the sandbar looking out at the rolling waves, his eyes peeled for survivors.

"Oh, I almost forgot I have this lying around..." Ellaria lends Nerwen her Serenade of Water notesheet.

[-obelix-]

Thalion rolls his Die until he becomes Lucky, after which he uses a Grand Tonic on himself. He than slots a Phoenix Essence in Alpha and Omega, Grand potion into Nightfall, and finally an Ether Core into Duplovian Swift Halberd. Finally, he equips back Alpha and Omega and Ribcage Shield.

After that he takes out his Emerald Hood and hands it to Nerwen, "Mistress Nerwen, it is not a song sheet, but I believe you will find it useful."

He turns and hands out the following items to Ellaria: Grand Potion (7), Potion (4), Remedy (20), Mead (5), Smelling Salts (10), Nostrum (5), Mulled Wine (4), Ambrosia, Elixir (3), Feather of White, Feather of Flight (2), Demon Repellent, Phoenix Essence (4), Grand Tonic (7), Deluxe Skeleton Decoy, Skeleton Decoy (2), Blind Bomb (2), Seal Bomb, Sleep Bomb (2), Bone (2), Earthwyrm Fang, Kraken Fang, Copy of The Eubric Herald.

Thalion takes out his Magic Compass and tries to determine where the party should go next.

QM Note: Check your stats, please. There's bound to be a mistake, even though I'm sure I got all of it right. Obelix, it seems as if Despair does not have a hollow improvement to it, so I did not add anything into the weapon. Also, for the sake of my convenience I've put all of the borrowed items at the bottom of your inventories and marked them by who lent them to you unless otherwise equipped. I hope this works for everyone.

Thalion takes out his Magic Compass and tries to determine where the party should go next.

The compass spins around and around and around as the surrounding environment around the party begins to melt around them. A violent earthquake erupts, sending the party to their feet as the surroundings absorb the party into what feels like goopy ink. A hollering, searing scream fills the air, drilling into their ears. It burns their skin as their vision soon turns

black.

The party's vision flashes back into existence as they find themselves standing about in a clean bathroom. Their belongings don't seem damp, and any real indication the party was in the middle of a storm at sea seems to have vanished with the exception of any wounds from fighting the menagerie of sea creatures. A small puddle of water evaporates on the bathroom floor, a lone, crab seemingly lost, looks around the room. The bathroom door seems ajar.

[Chromeknight]

Placing the sylvania's cowlon her head, Nerwen gently speaks to the crab, though her speech is coloured by her questing with Russel.

Mighty clawed one! Might I serve thee perchance?

[Waterbrick Down]

Skrall's head ached from the transition back to reality, rushing over to the sink he emptied his stomach. Mopping the sweat from his brow, the ogre took a look at his surroundings. "I take it were back in the real world?"

Skrall's head ached from the transition back to reality, rushing over to the sink he emptied his stomach. Mopping the sweat from his brow, the ogre took a look at his surroundings. "I take it were back in the real world?"

"I sure hope we are back at the writer's house, but don't be surprised if it turn out to be another illusion."

Thalion peaks through the door.

OOC to QM: You are right about Despair, please ignore that part; I meant to write Sleeper but it already stored. I have amended the post. BTW, what slot does Sharkskin Hide take, backwear, bodywear?

[Sandy]

"As I suspected, we managed to undo the spell at least in this room. Three more to go, then..."

[Kintobor]

"I sure hope we are back at the writer's house, but don't be surprised if it turn out to be another illusion."

Thalion peaks through the door.

OOC to QM: You are right about Despair, please ignore that part; I meant to write Sleeper but it already stored. I have amended the post. BTW, what slot does Sharkskin Hide take, backwear, bodywear?

QM Note: Bodywear. I'll remedy that when I get a moment.

Placing the sylvania's cowlon her head, Nerwen gently speaks to the crab, though her speech is coloured by her questing with Russel.

Mighty clawed one! Might I serve thee perchance?

The crab merely looks up at Nerwen before fading away. It seems to disappear alongside the shrinking puddle of water in the bathroom.

"I sure hope we are back at the writer's house, but don't be surprised if it turn out to be another illusion."

Thalion peaks through the door.

Thalion peaks through the door, only to find that they are indeed back inside Ernesto's house.

The features around the wooden door seemed to slowly be reverting back into Ernesto's house, although it was a rather slow rate. The water surrounding the door disappeared with a loud slurp. Peaking through the front door, the party saw a familiar face.

"Er, um, is everything alright in there?"

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen's ether needs fixing, she used an ether core.

We are fine Master Ernesto, see, we have restored one of your rooms. But the thing we fight has a voice, and possibly a mind. Do you not recall anything which might aid us?

[Sandy]

"Yes, we are alright. Onto the next trial, then!" Ellaria pointed at the dungeon door with rocky formations around it.

[Kintobor]

"Well, um, I was just wondering if any of you needed supplies? Granted, I can't get them for you immediately, but if any of you need something from the Marketplace, I could probably get it here by the time you finish up in that cave system-place."

QM Note: If any of you want items from the marketplace, Ernesto can get those items for you. The items will be given to you once you've returned to Ernesto's house.
