Peppermint_M Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 (OOC, does the reviving take up my turn also?) There was a feeling of something behind her and a strange voice giving waring, then blackness. A familiar voice came to mind "If there is a rockfall, we know what to do, follow the mountain goats because they can save you..." another voice came through the fog, it was the same voice that sang the rhyme but with an odd timbre behind it.. "You are protected" it said... A strange feeling came over her and Tesni realised it was a pheonix essence, she was revived into battle. Cursing in Highspeak she brushed the stone dust and mud from herself. "You will regret that." She shouted at the Orc Mage. Quote

The first hits the stone prison, freeing Haldor! The second finds the mage, causing him to lose his concentration. The third was due to hit the golem in the face but the creature collapses in a pile of rubble as the mage is defeated. Ellaria takes a final point of damage before the shrinking sickness effect wears off. "I...am spent. Welll doone herooes. I uused everrythiing I haad. Eenjooy theese iteems. Yoou deseervve theem. I praay I will have the streength to prooviide you a beetter challenge neext tiime we meeet." The old orc explodes in a puff of dust. The cloud quickly spreads and flies off in all directions. The surrounding terrain returns to normal and Ameli Szalinski has been rescued. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! All party members gain half a level of experience with the exception of Haldor who gains a full level. The enemy drops 60 gold, 2 ladles of goblin gumbo, a cloak and a staff.

Exhausted, Haldor takes a seat on the ground. Ameli rushes to the cleric and jumps on top of him. "My hero! I knew you would save me. How about a kiss for the damsel in distress? I know it'd make me feel good." Quote
Masked Builder Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 YES! Alexis thinks to herself, that was a great shot if I do say so my self. "Which Way shall we go Party Leader? I suppose I shall use my compass, concentrating on the children." Quote
Peppermint_M Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 "Ugh" Tesni dropped to the ground, the essence had revived her but the fog of a KO was still muddling her a little. 'Be strong' a whisper at the edge of hearing... "That was a tough battle" She said from her position on the ground, blocking out the mystery voices. "Shall we go after your brother now children?" She sat up and brushed more dust off herself. "Who wants what? Ellaria, please take my Pheonix Essence, you used yours on me, it is only fair." Quote
Masked Builder Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 "I'd like the cloak if that isn't too much to ask Tensi." She hopes that the rest of the children won't be as hard to get. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 "You did just get the quiver Alexis" Tesni gently chided. "I will listen out for what the others think, this was a tiring battle." She looked over at poor Haldor, attempting to fend of the gnomeling. 'This is something to tell Jess about' she thought, grinning. Quote
Scorpiox Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 "Ugghh. Thanks for freeing me guys. I wasn't a use that battle." Haldor looks at Ameli, knowing that it is imperative she is returned in good condition. Uggh. "Don't tell Jess." Haldor whispers, and unwillingly kisses Ameli. After a bit Haldor stands up looking dazed and blushes. Again, he mutters, don't tell Jess. Quote
Masked Builder Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 "Alright Tensi I will wait." "He he," Alexis thinks to herself, wait till I tell Jess. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Hoke runs over to Tesni to help her catch her balance. Knowing her to be a proud warrior, Hoke tactfully backs off once the barbarian is back on her feet. "Thanks for the help," Hoke says to Haldor as he flicks a piece of broken rock off Haldor's shoulder. "Welcome to the party my lady," Hoke says with a courteous bow to the young gnome. "I'd actually like the cloak too to augment my growing armor collection, but I know I just got these boots. I shall defer to Tesni's judgement." "And well done to you Ellaria! Saved the day once again." Quote
Peppermint_M Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 "Once we have gathered out wits, we can go on and fetch the last child from those Orcs, maybe now we have defeated each of them we can avoid another battle with them." Quote
Sandy Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Ellaria goes red as Tesni gives her the Phoenix Essence to replace the one she used on the barbarian. "Oh, you really don't have to... Well, if you insist." "That Goblin Gumbo is really worth the horrible taste, I'd suggest you give those to two different party members - I can gladly take one, in any case. I reckon Haldor would benefit from the cloak the most, while the staff is pretty much useless to all of us since we're not mages." Quote
Jebediahs Posted November 16, 2011 Author Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) "Oh my, that was nice! My first kiss! Well with a cleric anyway. Who's Jess? Oliveri! I'm so glad you're safe. Any sign of Nico? I feel good now. Thanks for the welcome, Sir Knight. How come Haldor's not bowing to me? Who's getting the loot? If you don't want anything you could give or sell it to a friend in Heroica Hall. Hm, these women are pretty. Even the big one. They'd better stay away from my Haldor. Ameli nods as Alexis's compass spins without end. "I heard that ol' grump say something about how their camp is magically shielded or something. Nico must be at their camp. I think all we can do is explore the rest of my backyard blindly." "Lord Haldor, do you know what would make me feel great? If you take me into those bushes over there and make a woman of me! I'll make it worth your while." Ameli's Bush Challenge Reward: V-Card, On use grants user a permanent, one full level of experience. Item expires at the end of quest if not used. Suitable for Haldor. - Condition: Great Once npc reaches Great status, they can not go down in condition for any reason. "Once you go gnome, you'll never go home." - "" Once the loot has been distributed, how will the party proceed? Will Haldor accept Ameli's...challenge? What will Jess think? Can the orc camp be located? Will the last child be saved?! To discover the answers to these questions and more, stay tuned! Edited November 16, 2011 by Jebediahs Quote
Masked Builder Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 "You do that Haldor. I'd be willing to take the staff Tensi. That is if no one else wants it." Alexis laughs when she thinks of what Haldor might do with the young gnome. Quote
Sandy Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Ellaria blushes even more when she hears the gnome girls "challenge". "Umm, you can do it if you really want, but before you go, could you please heal those of us who need it. I'd imagine you'll be too exhausted afterwards..." Quote
Peppermint_M Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 The gnome girl was vexing. Tesni sighed, "We should go and look for the camp, rescue your brother before your mother gets home. I would like to be returned to my regular size." She looked at the items in her hands. "Haldor can have the cloak, he seems to be suffering the worst this quest! Alexis, if you would like the staff and as no one else wants it. I will share the gold between we other three, so 20 gold to Ellaria, Hoke and myself. I am going to have a ladle of goblin gumbo, it will be useful if we battle the Orcs. Who wants the other ladale and which direction should we take next?" Quote

As for the direction, let me check..." Ellaria uses her Magic Compass, concentrating on finding the orc camp. It might not work this time either... Quote
Peppermint_M Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 "Right yes, sorry. If the compass works, can anyone recall the first branch we left? I have never liked mazes.." Tesni recalled the field at the farm and the caves full of undead. It seemed that life had got a lot more turned around since joining Heroica. Quote
Scorpiox Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 "Hell, why couldn't it be Hoke? Jess better not hearof this, or I will personally force feed you to Cronk! There better be a good reward for getting her back in great condition." Haldor will accept the 'Challenge', but if news gets back to the hall Cronk will be eating Tesni sandwiches garnished with a hint of Hoke and side dish of Alexis. Quote
Jebediahs Posted November 16, 2011 Author Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) QM Note: Haldor's V-Card item has been used automatically and the cleric receives a full level of experience. He uses four ether (he has plenty to spare) to heal Ellaria, Hoke, Alexis and himself.

From the expressions on their faces it is unclear how it went or what exactly transpired. Only Haldor and the girl know the truth. The girl's demeanor did seem more serious as she stomped past the party, frustrated with their failed magic compass attempts. She drew a surprisingly colorful yet crude map of the yard in the dirt. "From what Haldor has told me yes we did do some talking, and from my knowledge of my own backyard, these seem to be the places where you encountered the orcs. If you have a different map, forget it because we're going by this one now." OOC: I lost my map, this is from memory and I didn't reread quest. Ameli was quite sure of herself. "Points one, two, three and four are where you've yet to explore. So I guess it's up to you, Party Leader. Hey Oliveri, where's your hat?" Edited November 17, 2011 by Jebediahs Quote
Masked Builder Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 With a rather mischievous grin on her face Alexis speaks up. "Did you enjoy yourself Haldor?" She can't keep a laugh in and proceeds to laugh. Quote
Scorpiox Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) Haldor looks accross at Alexsis and reminds her that Cronk might not notice some more sandwich filling. "Don't ever speak of this again. " Haldor smiles politely at Ameli, but his face reveals nothing. "A very good map Ameli, Where abouts are we now?" Edited November 16, 2011 by Scorpiox Quote
Masked Builder Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Alexis doubles over laughing again as she tries to imagine Cronk eating them. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Tesni grinned. "Thank you, the map will be helpful. If by the rock, you mean our recent battle, we should start at point 1." Nudging Haldor Tesni whispered "No worries fellow, she shall hear only of your determination and bravery in battle." Quote
UsernameMDM Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) OOC - Hoke's HP should be 21/21 w/+1 from warriors treads. No Power change for half levels? Hoke chuckled to himself as Haldor and the gnome girl returned. He thought a grandiose bow to the lovely couple would be appropriate but decided against it due to the gnome's improved status. He turned to Tesni. Instead he shot Haldor a wink. "Thanks for the gold. Do you still have the hat? I asked about it earlier but no one replied. Try giving it to the gnome boy."
