Heroica RPG - Quest #159: An Unexpected Return

[samurai-turtle]

Everyone concentrate on the little ones! Let the Cannons take care of the big ones! 

Cannon on Vermilion Wyvern A (or Green Drake A then next Obsidian Wyvern B) {from the back ???} 

[Alfadas]

Almost there! Torald shouts as he releases another blast of wind energy. Torald repeats.

Throlar fires at Vermillion Wyvern A, if his target is dead, he will fire upon Green Drake A, and if both are dead, he will fire at Obsidian Wyvern B.

Arthur nods his approval at Throlar's priorities.  "Follow Throlar's lead, cannons."  Arthur frowned as he realized a group of the white hatchlings had gotten off a breath.  "Karie, Bellanotte, I don't think your songs will help much this Round.  One of you should play a Rapid March for the Mages, but that's it; Atramor, we need to put our Rapid March Minstrel and the Mages at the bottom, start conserving our Ether more."  After some hesitation, Arthur throws a Gladiator Trident at White Hatchlings C from the Back Row.

OoC: Will dark-elemental attacks do anything against light enemies? I'm not quite sure what the wiki's indicating on the matter - light-elemental attacks work well against darkness, but it doesn't say what dark-elemental attacks will do against light enemies.

If they do, Lind attacks Gold Mob A with Gladius. Otherwise, he tries to get Green Mob D grounded with his Steel Knife.

[Asphalt]

Hey WBD, What effect would a poison bomb have on the Hatchling Mobs?

(They should, light-type enemies were designed to be functionally the same as holy-type enemies while remaining distinct in the same way dark and demonic enemies are. That's probably an oversight on the part of the wiki.)

"I'm going to need some time to get back some ether. I'm out."

Karie downs a grand tonic from the back row.

[MysticModulus]

Trying to ignore the chaos surrounding the ship Ezeran steels himself and repeats.

[The Legonater]

Alright, keep it up. We're nearly there. Bellanotte's going to need some ether too, here. 

If Bellanotte gets any ether, she plays the rapid march from the back. If not, she attacks Green Mob C with her flute. 

Dyric fires shots at Gold D (Red D, White D), Gold C (Red C, White C), and Red B (Green B, Gold B) from the back.

Djinn attacks White B from the back.

[Palathadric]

I Dual-Strike the Obsidian Wyvern from the Front Row, if Dead, I Dual-Strike Green and Red Hatchlings B.

Waldorf and Petaldan turn their cannons to fire at Vermilion Wyvern A or Green Drake A if the former is dead or Obsidian Wyvern B if the rest is silenced.

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen growled.

What’s the point of being a healer if no one needs healing?

She strikes at the first available target.

[Cutcobra]

OoC: Shouldn't changing the weather to humid have made my aquatic-ship-propelling twice as effective?

Heckz manipulates the waves to move the ship forward, twice.

QM Note: Lord Duvors reply is correct.

QM Note: Yes, i’ll fix that.

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke and Torc target whoever hasn't been targeted.  If all are targeted, attack highest HP.

[CMP]

I'll set up the order tonight, just got back from a brief trip.

"You could take over my cannon if that'd make you feel more useful."

[Asphalt]

Vindsval swats at the swarms of tiny hatchlings.

 These things swarm like sand flies.  Perhaps a taste of the Way would help thin them.

The giant reaches into his hip pouch and removes a small glass orb filled with a glowing rancid green fluid.  He swings back and throws it at the hatchlings,

Vindsval Uses a Poison Bomb, from the back row.

[StickFig]

Chesterine continues to pour forth Wind spells to propel the boat, and Matthias continues to swing his stave around looking for anyone to heal.

Lind shrugged at the newcomer. "Maybe if we're lucky, we'll see some Undead dragons? Your talents would certainly come in handy in that scenario."

He held up his hand. "Unless I'm about to die, don't heal me."

OoC: Given as how all normal effects wear off after ten rounds, my armor bonus could come in really handy, since it doesn't get affected like the consumable effects do.

Rone gave a tired shake of his head.

I'm not sure fighting undead dragons would qualify as being lucky, Whisperer.

"Bring down that damn lizard!" yells Atramor as one of the vermillion wyvern recovers from Euflear's influence and again divebombs the party. He isn't sure he can be heard over the hurricane of hatchlings enshrouding the Magpie. He nearly stumbles with the incredible speed and lurching of the ship under his feet as he moves to the front of the ship and tries to organize the massive host of heroes against the dragons. "Boomin'ham, Erik, hit what ya' can, Benji see if ya' help get the....ship...mov-" It's a few moments before he realizes the deck is rapidly darkening, and as he turns, he realizes the ship is virtually flying straight into Fort Freedom.

"Oh HELL, this is gonna hurt! BRACE FOR IMPACT!"

QM Note: Just for clarification, where are the heroes steering the ship? Is the intention to aim for the docks, or somewhere else?

[CMP]

Wasn't aware we had a choice.  Any chance we can uh, get straight up to the gallows with an appropriately huge wave?  If not, yeah, we'll aim for the docks.

Yeah, crashing while cinematically cool, probably won't pan out.

"-Never mind. HANG ON, CREW!

Karie - can you hang on to the railing, or can I lend you a hand? Don't go flying on us."

OoC: Technically, it's Heroica, anything's possible. That being said...yeah, probably wouldn't work so well. Not to mention, if we targeted our landing towards the gallows like proposed, we'd end up pouring a mini tidal wave of water on the people whose lives we're supposed to be saving.
