swils Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Thormanil will attack Thug A from the front row. Edit: New action posted below Edited October 12, 2011 by swils
Flare Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Benji will do nothing, again, because he is a chicken-hearted coward doesn't want to get knocked out. Sorry.
swils Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Thormanil realizes that the thug, agile as he may be, is barely standing. Hoping to avoid any unnecessary injuries, he takes a step backwards and prepares to attack Thug A from the back row. Edited October 12, 2011 by swils
Brickdoctor Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 Round Four of the Skirmish on the R'Kilf Road: >Sir Leo the Sentinel vs. Thug A - Miss >Thormanil Nihai vs. Thug A - Special Damage >Cinna the Dark vs. Thug A - Damage >Ad-Hoh vs. Thug A - Damage Benji Carvenhall does nothing >Seaian vs. Thug A - Hit >Tomas vs. Thug A - Miss A very annoyed party of heroes closes in on the elusive Thug once more. Picking up where he left off, the Thug dodges a mighty downward slash from Sir Leo, Regroups while Thormanil flails about with his axes, and then dashes in to Damage Cinna by 2. Standing in the middle of the party, where the heroes have to be careful not to hit one another, the Thug nimbly Damages Ad-Hoh by 2 with a precision strike before he is taken down by a slash to the back from Seaian's sword. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! All party members except De'kra gain a Level of experience, so update your signatures accordingly.

Tanma Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 De'kra's cloak refills as he returns to the land of the living. As he starts to stand up, the shade begins to speak in a series of clicks and whirling gear sounds. Suddenly hiseyes grow wide, as he looks around. His clicking begins to increase in speed and volume, as his eyes dart from one hero to another. His body trembles as he looks over his hands and the bodies of the heroes, and he begins to tifghten his grip on his dagger...
Darkdragon Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 "Finally!" Cinna pants, the wind knocked out of her and blood dripping from her wounds. "I should have just used Darkness on him even when he seemed ready to collapse. I wish I had a smaller tonic, I hate to use my Grand Tonic right now. I think I will hold off a bit longer before drinking it." ooc: this battle reminds me of the "only a flesh wound" from Monte Python.
Tamamono Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 "Finally!" "Since Thormanil didn't get any of the loot from our Pongcanis battle, I think it would be only fair if he got the majority of this battle's spoils. I will give 15 gold to Thormanil, 5 gold to Benji, and 5 gold to Cinna." "Now I will heal De'kra, Benji, Cinna, Ad-Hoh, and Thormanil."

Tanma Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) De'kra's clicking intensifies as the cleric heals him, and he begins to back away, his eyes darting back and forth. The shade holds his daggers in front of him, ready to strike if need be. It might occur to the heroes that De'kra hasn't spoken since the battle ended, at least not in their tongue... Edited October 12, 2011 by Tanma
ADHO15 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 "Good effort everyone, particularly our new Elven companion. Perhaps we did not make the best first impression!"
Tanma Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 The shade continues to speak only in clicks and gear sounds, his motions becoming increasingly frantic and paranoid. There is something in his eyes, the face of pure terror. OOC: This is part of De'kra's character development, so interaction would be appreciated.
Tamamono Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 The shade continues to speak only in clicks and gear sounds, his motions becoming increasingly frantic and paranoid. There is something in his eyes, the face of pure terror. "De'kra, are you okay? You took quite a beating back there."
Tanma Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 De'kra turns his attention to Tomas, his entire body quivering. A thick storm of clicking emerges from his mouth, all incoherent to the group. The shade seems almost more terrified by Tomas's words, and his dagger trembles from his body's vibrations. This is the face of fear, but of what? Can any of the group gleam something from De'kra's actions and comments on the quest?
swils Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 OOC: This is part of De'kra's character development, so interaction would be appreciated. OOC: Working on it! Just went back through the entire quest so far and have copied all of De'kra's "words" (clicks, words, and whatnot), haha I've got me a mystery to solve (and a lab report to avoid writing, what a coincidence!)
swils Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Thormanil notices the shade acting strangely. Not wanting to lose his cleric to a stab-happy rogue, he stepped between the two, towering over the shade, and shielding Tomas from any assault De'kra might make. Staring the shade dead in the eyes, Thormanil points at him and says, in a loud, commanding tone: Now listen here! You're gonna stop acting crazy, got it? We've got work to d--(pausing) Recognizing De'kra's trembling and the look in his eyes as signs of great fear, and not aggression, he takes a step back and loosens his grip on his axes, though still ready to move to intercept De'kra should the need arise. Thinking back, he calls Cinna over, recalling that the shade had something of an affinity for her dark magicks. Cinna, can you do something to help, here? If I'm remembering it right, the poor lil' fella's had something of an amnesiac episode. Probably took one too many blows to the head, heh! But between the clicks and whirs, he's always asking about your ability to manipulate dark energy, so maybe you could put on a little fireworks show for us, eh? Might help fix him up, at least, I think it triggered a series of memories for him, before. Edited October 12, 2011 by swils
Tanma Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) OOC: it should be there pretty early on, though it may be so obvious to notice. De'kra begins to flex his chest, as if something thrashed within him. After a time he looked down in surprise, and began to feel his face with his free hand. But his right hand still lurched his dagger forward, pointed directly at his allies. The blade was pointed straight forward, like a sabre rather than a knife. Edit: sorry, took some time to make this post. Edited October 12, 2011 by Tanma

After a time he looked down in surprise, and began to feel his face with his free hand. But his right hand still lurched his dagger forward, pointed directly at his allies. The blade was pointed straight forward, like a sabre rather than a knife. Thormanil swiftly moves to parry the lunge, being careful to only knock the shade backwards, rather than inflict any harm. Fortunately, as the result of a coin toss luck was on his side, and he managed to avoid being nicked by the blade in the process. Cinna, dear, could REALLY use your help over here! Or if anyone has been dying to show off their fancypants talents, now's the time to step up and give us a show..! I'm afraid that if I go and punch a tree over or something, I might just end up scaring the lil' guy even worse. OOC: it should be there pretty early on, though it may be so obvious to notice. Edit: sorry, took some time to make this post. OOC: I believe it was, but I wanted to be thorough Hope I picked out the proper detail here? Only clue De'kra verbalized regarding his voice was: De'kra nods at the Mage and clicks, "Power dangerous in untrained hands, even kind hands. I remember villagers back home, but it not best recall. Villagers born powerless, and just work. But might-time villagers gain great power, and become heroes. It dangerous, home-heroes have no skill with power...or training, because no one know who gain power later. Heroes have to teach selves, and gain help of older heroes. Usually heroes good, thanks to teaching three veer chews, but few heroes think power means right. I not remember more, I only have memory of last year. I not know Eubric tongue when I wake up, only home tongue. Memories come back slow, I recall hero-memory after I see you great power." Edited October 12, 2011 by swils

OOC: that is the clue, though Cinna's power isn't the only way to calm him though. Though if Cinna shows her power, De'kra is going to begin calling her a new name. De'kra does not stab yet, though he waves the blade forward as if it ward off evil. His eyes have moved from his chest to his blade, their gaze narrowing at the knife. Something about the blade is putting him even more on edge, as his body begins to tremor violently.

OOC: Previous post has been edited to reflect this a bit (see below). Curse you, simultaneous posting! Heh. Left the sense of urgency in, just because I'm too lazy to reword the entirety of it Also, I'm off to my second round of lectures for the day, so I'll try to check back via mobile, but hopefully someone else can handle the situation from here.

Tanma Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 De'kra continues to back away from the group, his clicking growing more frantic. The clicking has a pattern to it, but the language is too complex to understand. As he shrieked in the alien tongue, De'kra's gaze searched the region. Nothing his gaze met soothed his fear, though he did pause at a patch of six trees.
posades Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 OOC: I'll be flying out first thing tomorrow morning, so do you mind directing Seaian in battle, Captain Tamamono? I'll try to check in once in a while to see how the quest is going; should be back in the thick of things Tuesday morning.
Tamamono Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 De'kra turns his attention to Tomas, his entire body quivering. A thick storm of clicking emerges from his mouth, all incoherent to the group. The shade seems almost more terrified by Tomas's words, and his dagger trembles from his body's vibrations. This is the face of fear, but of what? Can any of the group gleam something from De'kra's actions and comments on the quest? Tomas takes a step back, a puzzled look on his face. "De'kra, what's come over you? Snap out of it!" Cinna, can you do something to help, here? If I'm remembering it right, the poor lil' fella's had something of an amnesiac episode. Probably took one too many blows to the head, heh! But between the clicks and whirs, he's always asking about your ability to manipulate dark energy, so maybe you could put on a little fireworks show for us, eh? Might help fix him up, at least, I think it triggered a series of memories for him, before. "That's right; he kept asking about her dark magic... Cinna, could you try to calm him down, please?" OOC: I'll be flying out first thing tomorrow morning, so do you mind directing Seaian in battle, Captain Tamamono? I'll try to check in once in a while to see how the quest is going; should be back in the thick of things Tuesday morning. OOC: Will do! Have a good trip, posades!
Tanma Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 De'kra almost hisses at the cleric, though the sound could mean anything in his tongue. He seems scared more than anything, as his eyes keep glancing at the remainings of the three fallen foes, and the blood on the elf guide's blade.
Darkdragon Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) Cinna goes to aid her friends after recovering from her wounds. "De'kra, please try to be calm. You know us. You know me, I am Cinna. We spoke a few days ago about magic. My family is born with magical abilities, but take many years to train and learn to control our power. You said your villagers sometimes can get power and become a hero, they must train with others that are already heroes, they must learn the three virtues to be kind and good. Do you remember?" Cinna does a small bit of magic, nothing too noisy. She produces a smiling face in the darkened sky, in the hopes that De'kra will remember they are not enemies. When De'kra looks up, she gives a kurt glance to Tomas and his blade to say 'wanna put that away? he is frightened', hoping that Tomas and the others will understand without her having to speak it. ooc:sorry for being slow guys, been a very busy night.
