Brickdoctor Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 Our second Night is a tense one. We have been sensing someone following us the entire day.

Enemies: Hired Swordsman Level: 7 Health: 25/25 Special: Take Cover - The Hired Swordsman hides behind his shield, causing all attacks against him to miss the next Round, however, the Hired Swordsman also deals only 3 Damage per hit while this is in effect. Drops: Pouch of Important Items Hired Crossbowman Level: 2 Health: 50/50 Special: Careful Aim - The Hired Crossbowman takes extra care in lining up his shot; his next Damage will be a Miss, but his next Damage after that will deal triple Damage.

TheBoyWonder Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I attack the Hired Swordsman from the front row.
Tamamono Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 "Let's hope this battle turns out better than the last one!" Order of action: Leo Thormanil Cinna Ad-Hoh Benji De'kra Seaian Tomas "I will attack Hired Crossbowman from the front row! Cinna, Ad-Hoh, please use your darkness magic on the Crossbowman. We need to kill him before he can use his special."
Tanma Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 De'kra clicks, "I attack crossbow man from front, but not might leader have better plan for I. I judgement in battle not good, I submit to leader stategy might he have one." The shade begins to encircle the hired "gun," ready to strike.

I judgement in battle not good, I submit to leader stategy might he have one." The shade begins to encircle the hired "gun," ready to strike. "I think that would be a good idea, De'kra. We need to make sure that the Crossbowman dies quickly, so we'll need 4-5 heroes to attack him. The other one has a mainly defensive special, and while that will be very annoying, it won't be quite as devastating." "Also, Seaian attacks Hired Swordsman from the back row!"
swils Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Aha, this should be fun! Thormanil will attack Hired Crossbowman from the front row. OOC1: You've got the crossbowman labeled as a swordsman in his special effect OOC2:

De'kra nods, and clicks, "elf has eight health, swordsman deals seven. Might elf take hit he will have one health left. Might it occur, elf take no action next time? Might I take too great damage, I take no action."

Might it occur, elf take no action next time? Might I take too great damage, I take no action." "Yes, I think that would be the best course of action if one of us gets terribly injured. Remember though, I'm keeping Seaian in the back row, so any damage he takes will be halved."

Brickdoctor Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 Results of Round One of the Battle of Brobric Road: Sir Leo the Sentinel vs. Hired Swordsman - Miss Thormanil Nihai vs. Hired Crossbowman - Damage >Cinna the Dark vs. Hired Crossbowman - Critical Hit >Ad-Hoh vs. Hired Crossbowman - Damage >Benji Carvenhall vs. Hired Crossbowman - Miss De'kra vs. Hired Crossbowman - Hit >Seaian vs. Hired Crossbowman - Miss Tomas vs. Hired Crossbowman - Hit After emerging victorious from their previous encounter with hired enemies, the party looks for a quick kill. Sir Leo is a little too eager, and his strike Misses as the Hired Swordsman dances out of reach. Thormanil rushes the Crossbowman, but the archer fires a bolt into the Barbarian with practiced speed for 2 Damage, only to be lifted off his feet as Cinna snaps off an Elemental Darkness Critical Hit for 38 Damage. The Crossbowman recovers just in time to let fly a bolt that hits Ad-Hoh's hand, causing the Mage to abort his spell and take 1 Damage. Benji lines up his shot carefully, and takes Aim before firing, dealing 5 Damage. De'kra discovers that he's much more effective in this dense forest, using the abundant amount of cover to his advantage and landing a Hit at 10 Damage to finish the Crossbowman. Seaian tries to switch his attack to the Swordsman in the middle of his stroke, but can't land a hit. Tomas is ready behind him, dealing 15 Damage with a Hit. One enemy remains, and the odds are clearly in the party's favor. Enemies: Hired Swordsman Level: 7 Health: 10/25 Special: Take Cover - The Hired Swordsman hides behind his shield, causing all attacks against him to miss the next Round, however, the Hired Swordsman also deals only 3 Damage per hit while this is in effect.

Party Leader, how will the spoils of the battle be divided? Pouch of Important Items - contains various items important to the former owner All of you, state any actions you wish to perform at this spot before the party moves on.
Tamamono Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 "Well, that certainly went better than the last battle! Everybody seems to be in fairly good health (enough to be restored by one night's sleep), so I'll save my ether for now." "I'd like to open the Pouch of Important Items to see what it contains."
Brickdoctor Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 "I'd like to open the Pouch of Important Items to see what it contains." You find a folded piece of parchment, smelling of ale, 1 Gold, and a bottle of Venom.
Tamamono Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 You find a folded piece of parchment, smelling of ale, 1 Gold, and a bottle of Venom. "I'd like to read the parchment."
Brickdoctor Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 "I'd like to read the parchment." Wanted!Heroes from Heroica traveling to Brobric, accompanied by one Brobric Elf. Heroes are highly dangerous and threaten the peace on Uland. 150 Gold will be paid for each member of the party brought back, dead or alive. Those who wish to claim the reward should inquire at old shed in Triad Park. Other Heroica heroes are ineligible for the reward.
Tamamono Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 *snip* "What the?" "Who would've put a bounty on our heads? The Hinckwells?" "Mr. Shawe, what do you make of this?" Well, back to Freeport, then? "No, no, we can't just drop everything and run away! We signed a contract with Lord Keveak, and in order to help him rid Uland of the Lion Knights, we need to go to Brobric." "Wait, one more thing: where is Triad Park?"
swils Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 "No, no, we can't just drop everything and run away! We signed a contract with Lord Keveak, and in order to help him rid Uland of the Lion Knights, we need to go to Brobric." "Wait, one more thing: where is Triad Park?" Oh, right, *him*. It's in eastern Freeport (check the library).
Tamamono Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 It's in eastern Freeport (check the library). "Thank you, Thormanil." "It wouldn't be a bad idea to go take a look at that 'old shed' and see what we can find out about who's trying to get us killed, but like I said earlier, we are bound by contract to the Brobric Elves." "Seaian, would the Lord Keveak allow us to take a bit of a detour and see what we can find out in Freeport?"
Brickdoctor Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 "What the?" "Who would've put a bounty on our heads? The Hinckwells?" "Mr. Shawe, what do you make of this?" "Not sure. We know the Hinckwells are involved, and personally, I would assume the Hinckwells are doing all manner of things to eliminate heroes assisting the Shadeaux, but considering the great Hinckwell-Shadeuax rivalry, I'm probably biased. "The old shed doesn't even belong to the Hinckwells. It's maintained and owned by park gardeners, and they generally won't allow their structures to be used by others." "Seaian, would the Lord Keveak allow us to take a bit of a detour and see what we can find out in Freeport?" "There is, unfortunately, no way of knowing, right now. You could always take the chance that Lord Keveak would allow it and go there now, but taking into account the fact that the bounty appears to concern neither the Brobric Elves nor the Shadeaux, if he finds out and disagrees with that course of action, he could have you punished for violating the terms of the charter and permit. Your best bet is to continue to Brobric and wait for Keveak there. He was planning to travel to Bric'Lin and then to Brobric after leaving R'Kilf, but since he's on horseback, he should arrive no more than a day later than us in Brobric."
Flare Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 "Do you think that, perhaps, I could get that bottle of venom?"
ADHO15 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 "I suggest, as we are nearly there and so we do not cause trouble with the contract, just continue to Brobric and return to Eubric at a later time to investigate."
