Heroica RPG - Quest #4: Taming the Lions

[Darkdragon]

"I'll attack Bioluminescent Mopag Scorpion from back row."

[Tanma]

De'kra winces in pain as the scorpion pierces his form. The Hero doesn't collapse just yet, but he is in some pain. The shade glances around to see the others doing better, but doesn't dwell on it too much. Now the Sentiinal position should protect the team, so they can go all out.

[TheBoyWonder]

I will attack the Scorpion from the Front Row.

(OOC:That is if I can)

[swils]

Xander, I've never seen that side of you before, but I like it! Keep swinging!

Thormanil readies his axes for another attack against Black Mopag Scorpion from the front row

[Brickdoctor]

I will attack the Scorpion from the Front Row.

(OOC:That is if I can)

QM Note:

Yes, you can, but you need to specify which scorpion you're attacking.

[Tanma]

De'kra clicks, "I attack frog, I weaken to help against scorpions." The short hero approaches the frog, hopping that it's attack power was something he could handle. He really didn't care to be defeated so early in a quest. Taking damage was fine, but not dying.

With the Sentinel position taken, you can't take Damage or be knocked out this round.

OOC: I know, but I wasn't sure if the position has weaknesses.

De'kra waited for the others to attack, hoping that the group could defeat the amphibian and the twin scorpions. The shade felt glad that the spider had been defeated, spiders after all were powerful foes that lived in massive hordes, ripping apart cities in their conquests. Though this spider here was alone, perhaps it was an exile from it's nation. Either way De'kra was glad that it now was rotting in the forest.

[TheBoyWonder]

OOC:Ignore my Previous action

I will attack the Bioulescent Mopag Scorpion form the front row please!

[ADHO15]

"Now I am getting the hang of it again. I shall attack the Bioluminescent Mopag Scorpion from the back row."

[posades]

Xander, I've never seen that side of you before, but I like it! Keep swinging!

Thormanil readies his axes for another attack against Black Mopag Scorpion from the front row

"Thank you Thormanil, it seems we all make a good team."

Xander focuses his attention on the Bioluminescent Mopag Scorpion, readying an attack from the front row.

OOC: If the enemy you are targeting dies before your turn, you would just target the next enemy in line right? I just want to make sure that radioactive scorpion dies.

[Brickdoctor]

OOC: If the enemy you are targeting dies before your turn, you would just target the next enemy in line right? I just want to make sure that radioactive scorpion dies.

QM Note:

That's correct.

I'll choose Flare's action, so that the game can move along.

[Flare]

Benji attacks the Black Mopag Scorpion from the back row.

OOC: Was I too late?

[Brickdoctor]

Results of Round Two of the Battle of Mopag Animals:

Leo Aragon vs. Bioluminescent Mopag Scorpion - Hit

Xander Unth'or vs. Bioluminescent Mopag Scorpion - Critical Hit

Thormanil Nihai vs. Black Mopag Scorpion - Special Damage

>Cinna the Dark vs. Bioluminescent Mopag Scorpion - Hit

>Ad-Hoh vs. Bioluminescent Mopag Scorpion - Hit

>Benji Carvenhall vs. Black Mopag Scorpion - Hit

De'kra vs. Mopag Frog C - Miss

>Tomas vs. Black Mopag Scorpion - Damage

Looking for a repeat of their stellar first round, the party sends out Sir Leo first, once again. He Hits the Bioluminescent Scorpion with his sword, causing 7 Damage, then jumps quickly out of the way as Xander's hammer comes smashing down in an Extra Critical Hit that pulverizes the scorpion with 15 Damage. The Black Scorpion attempts to Sting Thormanil, but Sir Leo deftly blocks the strike with his shield. Her original target defeated, Cinna turns to the Black Scorpion and, deciding there is no need to expend Ether, whacks the arthropod with her staff for 4 Damage. Ad-Hoh decides the best course is to duplicate the Second-in-Command's action. Benji fires his bow, the resulting hit is more than enough to finish off the Scorpion. De'kra's attack against the last frog Misses, giving the last enemy an opportunity to attack Tomas, but Sentinel Sir Leo, once again, is nimble enough to block the attack.

Taking a moment to regroup, the party prepares to attack the final enemy, which is just barely clinging to life.

Party Leader, how will the spoils of the battle be divided?

Grand Potion – Restores 25 health to the target.

Grand Tonic – Restores 15 ether to the target.

Venom – Use on a weapon to make it cause a poisoned-effect on any enemy it hits for the duration of one battle. A poisoned enemy loses 1 health each turn.

Tonic – Restores 5 ether to the target.

Remedy – Removes all negative effects from the target during a battle.

All of you, state any out-of battle actions you want to perform before travel commences again. (including continuing to investigate the wreck, if you've thought of something you forgot to do before the last Night)

Party Leader, now that the destination has been reached, where do you want the party to travel to?

[Tanma]

De'kra shakes his head in sadness that he was unable to harm any foe in any of the three battles the group had been in. Still, at least he had not been defeated in battle and now was a rank 4 rogue. The shade listened to hear how the rewards would be divided among the group.

[Tamamono]

"Hoorah, we are victorious once again! And look at all that loot!" "I think I will give the Grand Potion to Xander, the Grand Tonic to Cinna, the Venom to Thormanil, the Tonic to Ad-Hoh, and the Remedy to myself. I tried to distibute the items a bit more strategically this time, giving the Tonics to the magic users and whatnot, but it was a bit of a harder decision for some of the items. Does this distribution sound good to everybody?"

" Next, I would like to heal De'kra. I would also like to search the wreck for anything with the lion insignia before we head back to Bric'lin."

search the wreck for anything with the lion insignia before we head back to Bric'lin."

You search the wreck, but there is now nothing left but some nails, some rivets, and various other bits of metal. All the wood was burned in last Night's fire. There are no markings on any of the items.

Isaac reminds Tomas,

"Are you sure you want to return to Bric'Lin? That's another four Nights' journey back through the forest, as compared to a two Nights' journey to the Mopag Settlement. But then again, I've heard that strange people live in Mopag..."

[swils]

Well, we're already over halfway there, and we haven't found anything so far that we can really take back to Bric'lin to further our investigation.. I say we check out Mopag! What's the worst that could happen?

[Tanma]

De'kra turned to the team leader and clicked, "I thank you for help. You want to use shovel? Clues might trample under fight heroes and I had, or in time after raiders. Worth a shot? Also, I think heroes and I need head on, Mopag villagers might have see raiders."

[ADHO15]

Well, we're already over halfway there, and we haven't found anything so far that we can really take back to Bric'lin to further our investigation.. I say we check out Mopag! What's the worst that could happen?

"I agree. Let us complete our journey to Mopag before thinking about a new destination, especially as we are getting close."

[Tamamono]

"Are you sure you want to return to Bric'Lin? That's another four Nights' journey back through the forest, as compared to a two Nights' journey to the Mopag Settlement. But then again, I've heard that strange people live in Mopag..."

"On second thought, I think we will continue on to the Mopag Settlement."

De'kra turned to the team leader and clicked, "I thank you for help. You want to use shovel? Clues might trample under fight heroes and I had, or in time after raiders. Worth a shot? Also, I think heroes and I need head on, Mopag villagers might have see raiders."

"Good idea, De'kra. I would like to dig at the wreck site."

[Brickdoctor]

"Good idea, De'kra. I would like to dig at the wreck site."

You turn over about the top two studs of loose dirt at the wreck site, and also try digging deeper where there appear to be other lumps or piles of dirt, and you turn up the haft of a broken sword, with the emblem of the Shadeaux engraved in it.

Isaac inspects the object.

"Definitely one of ours. I'll be wanting it back after the Quest ends, but you can hang on to it for now.

"Is there anything else you want to do before we start moving again?"

[posades]

"Thank you for the Grand potion, Tomas; it is much appreciated."

"I agree with the others in our next destination -- Mopag seems like the next logical place to visit. We have grown strong over these past few nights, so I'm confident we can overcome any evil that may come our way."

[Tanma]

De'kra nodded in pleasure, glad that his suggestion had helped find a clue. The shade waited for the group to continue, all the while wondering if they would face even greater perils farther into the forest.
