Jebediahs Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 Following the LEFT path, the party hears two voices as they make their way through the yard. "Grr, how long did they want us to wait here for?" "You know they wanted us to be on the look out for Szalinski's heroes. We've been out here for too long. He told us he'd send someone else in if we took too long. Hey, who's that? Get 'em!" Results of Shrinking Sickness in Battle versus Goblin Twins: Tesni Hightribe - Cured Haldor Skovgaard - Sealed Alexis Fenral - Poisoned Ellaria Arbour - Sealed Hoke Ablesword - Afraid As Tesni's heart rate increased, she began to feel the effects of Shrinking Sickness take hold. True to her barbarian fortitude, she manages to resist the effect and shakes off the Shrinking Sickness in its entirety! Unfortunately her team mates aren't quite so lucky. Haldor's eyes widen in horror as his lips magically fuse shut. Ellaria panicks as she feels the smooth surface where her mouth had been. Alexis vomits uncontrollably as she becomes poisoned. Young Ablesword is stricken with an uncontrollable fear that sends him hiding behind his comrades. WIth their healing ability removed, can our heroes win the encounter? PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Sandy Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 "Mhhm? Mmmmhhhmmm?! MmmHhmMMmMMhhhh!!!" The panic takes over Ellaria as she grabs the sole remedy in her pack and sprinkles it on herself. Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 "I suppose I shall try to attack Maa'ri from the back row." Alexis leans over and vomits to the side. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 "The engineer or the demolitionist Alexis?" Tesni shouted out, eyes darting from her effected friends and the enemy at hand. "I shall target the Demolitionist from the Front Row!" She called out, snarling at the mercenary ahead of her. The grass may be tree sized, the sand like gravel, but herself and her opponents were equally sized. “Ellaria, Haldor, do not fear, I will take the hits while you recover!” "I think you should target the engineer Alexis, or maybe the machine they have with them. Hoke! remember the sword drills! These fellas don't seem open to talking it out..." Their opponents were very sturdy, able to take a lot of hits, but attacking first showed they really didn't want to make a deal. ‘I hope Jess will not be to upset that Haldor was injured in this quest I am leading...’ she thought. Battle order: Tesni Alexis Hoke Ellaria Haldor Quote
Scorpiox Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 "Grrrr!!!" (Shall I remedy myself or attack? I think I might attack the Maa'ri Goblin Engineer from the front row.Unless anyone else has a better plan for me.) Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 "Sorry Tensi I meant the engineer." She leans over and vomits again. "Haldor, I suggest you attack the battle wagon." Quote
Scorpiox Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 "Mmrrhhmm, ghhhhrrrmm." (Avast! I'll switch my attack to Artillery Cart, still in the front row. As Ellaria is using a remedy, I don't think I need to remedy myself, as one cleric is probably enough.) Quote
UsernameMDM Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Trying to battle through the unfounded fear wracking his brain, Hoke tries to make an attack. Hoke attacks the Artillery Cart (shamefully) from the back row. Edited October 25, 2011 by UsernameMDM Quote
Jebediahs Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 Results of Round One Battle versus the Maa'ri Goblin Twins: Tesni Hightribe vs. Maa'ri Goblin Demolitionist - Shield (Battle Frenzy) >Alexis Fenral vs. Maa'ri Goblin Engineer - Hit >Hoke Ablesword vs. Artillery Cart - Shield (Sentinel) >Ellaria Arbour uses Item - Remedy Haldor Skovgaard vs. Artillery Cart - Special Damage Taking her role as leader seriously, Tesni continues to impress and lead by example. The barbarian enters a battle frenzy and damages each target. Cysgodion's dark aura allows Tesni to do 36 damage to each goblin! Taking advantage of the goblin's surprise at the barbarian's might, Haldor approaches the artillery cart. He scratches his head trying to figure out the best way to dismantle it. Alexis hits her target but the goblin shrugs off the damage. Ellaria takes a step back to remedy herself. Too afriad to engage his foe, Hoke steps back but finds the strength to raise his shield to protect his allies the next round. Haldor attempts to disable the unmanned artillery cart but sets off its special instead. KA-BOOM! (Tesni -9, Alexis -4, Hoke -2, Ellaria -4, Haldor -6) Alexis takes 1 point of damage from being poisoned. Three enemies remain so the battle continues.

Peppermint_M Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Dazed and muttering darkly about cursed alchemists and their love of explosions, Tesni focused once more on the enemies. "We have to be careful of that cart..." the drain on her health was starting to make itself known, her fury subsiding, and the full force of the explosion had hurt! "Wonder how far it goes... fractions?" she muttered. Hearing the enemy warn of her, she grinned. "I will target the Engineer from the Front Row this time." She focused her attention on the opponent, hoping to intimidate him. Battle Order Tesni Alexis Hoke Baldor Ellaria Quote
Sandy Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 "Aaah! I can speak again! Sorry, I panicked a bit there... But now, we've got an immensely difficult battle at hand, and I suspect our healths will widdle down faster than the drink in Lord Boomingham's cup. So please, Tesni, let me heal you." Ellaria tries to heal Tesni from the back row. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 "Glad your remedy worked! Should I change the battle order? I am sure I can take another hit from any of our enemies..." Quote
Scorpiox Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 "hhskjffj" (I don't think I should risk it again, I'll attack the cart from the back row., again, unless you guys think I should do something else.) Quote
Sandy Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 "Glad your remedy worked! Should I change the battle order? I am sure I can take another hit from any of our enemies..." "I think the current battle order is fine, Tesni. If I receive a miracle from Sylvania, it's best to save it for last." Quote
UsernameMDM Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Hoke attacks the Artillery Cart (shamefully) from the back row. Again. OOC - Pep M can control Hoke during the day. I do not have internet access at work. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 "Alexis, can you target the Demolitionist? We don't want to give away hits!" Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Alexis leans over and vomits before she starts speaking. "Yes I shall attack the Goblin Demolitionist from the back row with my bow!" Quote
Jebediahs Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 Results of Round Two Battle versus the Maa'ri Goblin Twins: Tesni Hightribe vs. Maa'ri Goblin Engineer - Critical Hit >Alexis Fenral vs. Maa'ri Goblin Demolitionist - Shield (Triple Shot) >Hoke Ablesword vs. Artillery Cart - Shield (Sentinel) Haldor Skovgaard vs. Artillery Cart - Damage >Ellaria Arbour heals Tesni - Shield (Miracle) Ellaria's prayer to her deity worked as the party gained the upperhand. Although her fury subsided, Tesni's intimidation tactic caused the goblin to panic giving her the opportunity to score a critical hit. The gem in her blade doubled the damage against the engineer(70dmg!). Weary from the constant puking, Alexis reached for an arrow. Her vision blurred by her own tears, Alexis instead pulled three arrows and let them fly. Each hit a goblin for 19 damage and 38 damage to the cart thanks to her topaz infused bow. Haldor still puzzled by how best defeat the unmanned artillery cart, trips and falls. Before he can bump his elbow to receive 1 damage from the cart, Ablesword, ever the sentinel throws his shield like a captain. The buckler wedges itself between the ground and the cart allowing Haldor to slide safely to the ground. Hoke recovers his shield and again takes up the sentinel position as he's too afraid to face the goblins. Ellaria receives a miracle restoring everyone to full health! Unfortunately the miracle didn't cure Alexis of her poisoned condition so she takes 1 point of damage. Three enemies remain so the battle continues. Enemies: Maa'ri Goblin Engineer - "OWWIEE!

Sandy Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Ellaria pressed her hands together, relieved of her goddess's favour. "Thank you, Sylvania! We can win this now for sure! I will attack Goblin Demolitionist from the first row." Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 "Yes! Take that you silly goblins! I shall attack the Goblin Demolitionist with my bow from the back row!" She leans over and vomits again. Quote
Jebediahs Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 "Sylvania, eh? I bedded that nymph last night!" "Heh heh. Yeah, me too!" "..." "I suspect our healths will widdle down faster than the drink in Lord Boomingham's cup." Meanwhile a world away and a few rock monsters later, Lord Boomingham smiles for no reason. "Did somebody mention my name?" Quote
Scorpiox Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 "Yaahhhrrggghhmmm" (I've been as much use as a chocolate teapot this battle, but hopefully I can redeem myself. I shall attack the cart from the front view.) Quote
Sandy Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 "Sylvania, eh? I bedded that nymph last night!" "Heh heh. Yeah, me too!" The fire burning at the tip of Ignis Fatuus reflects from Ellaria's eyes as the rage fills her. "How DARE you! Burn in the flames of my wrath, you filthy pigs! Burn until you're crisp and tasty!!!" Ellaria lets out an otherworldly howl as she raises her staff high above her head for a strike. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 "I will Target the Demolitionsit from the Front Row." Tesni shouted "Hoke has our backs and I want to wittle down these enemies." 'Well, Ellaria has some rage!' Tesni thought, blinking at the woman who had been so timid the first time they met. Grinning she hefted Cysgodion aloft, menacing the Engineer who had been so insulting to her friend. The dark energy glowed from the gems on her sword, a wreath crawled over her hands... "Fear me. FEAR ME SCUM. FEAR CYSGODION THE DARKSWORD" the words came unbidden from her mouth, but the strength she felt was a welcome boost. Battle order: (I will keep it the same if that is ok with all of you?) Tesni Alexis Hoke Baldor Ellaria "To Battle!" Quote
Sandy Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Ellaria looked at the bellowing Tesni with admiration. Her own outburst seemed childish now, but she just couldn't tolerate the mocking of her goddess. Besides, the goblins' greasy talk had brought nasty memories back to her mind. The villagers of Tumpkin had not been gentle in exiling her, on the contrary... But Ellaria didn't want to think about it now. She was in the middle of a battle, so she was determined to aim all those negative feelings at the enemies in front of her. Quote
