Heroica RPG General Discussion

[Flipz]

Was Arthur's stand in mother ever given a name?

Allana, in that very same bit.

"Believe me, Allana" the woman says sadly, "this way hurts him much, much less."

Got it, 38 was the only Zepher quest I didn't pay as much attention to.

[Kintobor]

I actually hope Barbarrica doesn't get knocked off. I would love to see Karie rag on her in a quest!

[Endgame]

I hope she does, 10 gold says she is evil. You cannot use the wod "enthralling" to describe a not-sinister signing voice.

If she tries to and succeeds in succesfully Enamoring Sorrow... when he breaks free from the spell, he is going to be angry.

[Scubacarrot]

Just Masked's luck, picks only three heroes, still has to deal with a bazillion actions.

We're probably going to be fighting a different enemy; Boomingham's group gets the are where Barbariccia will be, after all. We'll likely have to deal with the evil lieutenant, either as a pestering annoyance or a traitorous enemy. Speaking of which, that reminds me, we need to spread out our Smoke Bombs, so that we can be available to intercept up to three different hostiles at once but can still Flee if needed.

...I may be overthinking this.

@Flipz (or Sandy), to what extra information regarding Mercutio are you referring?

Sword of Improbability - on a roll of 7, your opponent turns into a potted geranium, granting all NPCs a nice cup of tea and a trip to the seaside. Then you die. Unless it's Wednesday, in which case you get a cookie.

I gotta say, given my luck with rolls, this might happen.

I broke that rule.

Twice in one quest, in fact.

But then again, there were only three non-boss battles in this quest.

You've used every Boss convention accept this one... And I swear, if we're forced to fight a Resurrected Wren or something I may literally eat my computor.

Speaking of entertainment, that Barbarracia is worrying me to no end.

Why can't we have Karie as the performer!

I agree. The "we found her a week ago" thing in-particular. I half expect it to be Donny Dozenhands in drag.

Because she's currently getting the make-up washed off her face by a small-hurricane-level storm in a burning city way south-west of Eubric. Also, given the crowd, they may frown upon Newt Dancers. (ah, the puns yet to be made. I had no idea what I was getting into with such a simple Monty Python quote. )

Three?

>Town hall battle

>Rally battle

>Medbay battle

>Ballroom Battle

>Aranoc Battle

>Dini Manor Battle (C'mon, I had an entire quest's worth of bloody enemies in there. I count this one as 3 in its own. )

Also, The Regret has hints of it... kinda? I did give plenty of foreshadowing, though I hope nobody expected him of all people to be the true mastermind behind, well, everything.

Who said Guts was a good dancer? Ive always imagined the Dancing Shoes tripping him up during battle, and giving him extra turns next round because he stumbles and bumps into enemies.

I count the mini-bosses as boss fights.

Rally had the first mini-boss.

Ballroom had the second.

Dini-Manor had the third.

Aranoc was sort-of a boss... The boss of a side-quest.

Fair-enough. I didn't think he was "the man behind the scenes" until we fought eidololon first, at which point I realized something was up. Even then I thought that fighting him was going to be optional. Little did I know he had that whole omnicidal maniac thing going on.

I think what makes him not a giant space flea out of nowhere, at least by my books, is that he was very strongly related to the plot at-hand. A true GSFooN would be unrelated to the plot, such as a resurrected Wren, or a haywire world-ending elemental monster that Dini accidentally summoned.

PS: None of those were suggestions.

PPS: seriously.

The thing says the wearer dances well.

I wish it's Heckz in drag...

[Zepher]

So excited to go respond to everything in 66. And look who Patricia trusted to put in charge.

I don't think the Gods really have personalities, just what people see them as.

Zepher, are Guts' dancing shoes the type that make clinking noises as you walk?

Agreed! The Gods are perceived by different people in different ways, assuming they exist.

They are any type of shoe you want! They're your's! I don't want to force you to dance a specific way.

A cookie?!

Go do your homework.

Just Masked's luck, picks only three heroes, still has to deal with a bazillion actions.

He also added four damn NPCs. I think this is the first quest the number of allied NPCs outnumbered the PCs.

Well, I had said no when Endgame originally asked... but I think we all want to see you eat your computer.

And yeah, no doubt we'll keep an eye on this... rising star....

[Endgame]

Master of Regret will pop in as soon as Perfect Regret is defeated. They will proceed to high five each other, enhancing each other's power beyond all belief. The true final battle will be a dual battle between two Town-Hall sized enemies.

[Flipz]

Well of course...but the Priests have to have a specific interpretation for their specific teachings.

I was referring to Sandy's mention that Steerpike killed the previous High Priest, as well as that priest's name.

Great. Can't say I didn't warn you, folks! He's gone mad with power!

Someone needs to turn Sorrow into a newt. Karie, I've given you the tools you need. You know your duty.

You call it enamouring, I call it karma!

I really, REALLY want to have a scroll duel in the Arena with Karie once she goes Sorcerer.

I would pay to see that. Well, not really, but still. Now all she needs is an artifact that increases the chances of a scroll working, or that recovers ether for her. Let's see what I can do to get her ready... (Just kidding, the scroll's enough for this quest. )

I'm game. See you there.

[Endgame]

For the record, Sorrow isn't too keen on loving anyone right now. For someone to forcibly take it from him would make him furious.

Also, whats with all the revenge pointed at me, guys? Not all heroes can/should be ultimate fearless creatures who never feel any pain or have to make difficult choices.

Also, I'm trying to wrap up 48, not prolong the damn thing. Perfect regret probably is the perfect final boss fro the series - after all, the Progg's motivation is hatred. Who better to save for last then he is practically hatred incarnate?

I'm just kidding... But if I was tasked as the one doling out revenge, it would involve turning sorrow into a newt and having him battle an infant progg.

I figured as much, but don't worry. It's still very fun! I'm quit alright with the amount of time it's taken.

You forgot all the scrolls in Herocia .

But out of all of them, I think she has the best. Maybe not in terms of tactical functionality, but still.

Can't argue with that! Now Karie's entire schtick will be "looks like you're not getting better!"
