Jebediahs Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Results of Round Six Battle versus the Maa'ri Goblin Twins: Tesni Hightribe vs. Maa'ri Goblin Engineer - Shield (Battle Frenzy) >Hoke Ablesword vs. Artillery Cart/Goblin Demolitionist - Miss Haldor Skovgaard vs. Artillery Cart/Goblin Demolitionist - Hit Ellaria Arbour vs. Maa'ri Goblin Demolitionist - Critical Hit As the battle concludes, Tesni enters another frenzy taking out the goblin engineer and his artillery cart. After finally pushing through his fear of the artillery cart, Hoke's target is destroyed and the knight must face a new fear in the form of the goblin demolitionist. He swings and misses while Haldor scores a hit on the goblin. Ellaria avenges her goddess by ending the fight. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Hoke, Haldor, Ellaria gain a level of experience and Tesni gains half a level. The enemies drop 40 gold, a Telescope, a Magnifying Glass, two ladles of Goblin Gumbo, a frying pan, a training spear and a training morning star.

Magnifying Glass - Allows the hero to see trap triggers. 2x Ladle of Goblin Gumbo - Provides the Haste effect for one battle, expires at end of quest. Frying Pan (WP: 1, +1 Health; suitable for all classes) - Must be equipped as primary weapon for health boost. Training Spear (WP: 2, suitable for barbarians) - A weapon used for sparring. Training Morning Star (WP: 2, suitable for clerics and knights) - A weapon used for sparring. As the party's adrenaline subsides, the negative effects fade. Haldor's mouth returns to normal and Hoke's fear leaves him. Alexis's nap appears to have been all that was needed to remove her Shrinking Sickness all together. Hoke and Tesni quickly tie up the unconscious goblin twins while the clerics tend to Alexis. As the loot is divided, the goblins begin to stir. "Hey, let us go! We didn't mean it, honest!" How will the party respond? OOC: Let me know if I've missed anything. Edited October 29, 2011 by Jebediahs Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Alexis sits up rubbing her head wondering what has happened. "I must have been hit on the head during that battle." she thinks to herself. She stands up rubbing her head, but smiling. "Ah I see you bested those goblins. Should I take my potion Tensi? And, if it's alright with you Tensi, I'd like the Magnifying glass." Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Tesni slumped to the ground, the purple lines dispersed and the stone on the blade stopped glowing... "That was odd..." she stood once more and glared at their tied up opponents. "I will get to you later..." "Alexis, of course you can have the magnifying glass and do take your potion unless one of our clerics wishes to heal you. Everyone else, what spoils would you like?" (OoC, what should my stats be? my health has increased but my power has not and I am unsure where and what things now need to be...) Quote
UsernameMDM Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Hoke feels the fear sink out of his body but quickly feels a hot rush of shame. He hoped he would be back on the front row fighting valiantly in the next battle. Feeling slightly dizzy, Hoke pulls out his bedroll for a quick rest. Hoke uses his bedroll to rest Quote
Sandy Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 (OoC, what should my stats be? my health has increased but my power has not and I am unsure where and what things now need to be...) OoC: Your stats shouldn't change, since you only gained half a level. You didn't really level up yet. Hoke uses his bedroll to rest "Oh, I don't know if you can rest here, in front of these dastardly goblins... If you can't I'd be happy to heal you. Alexis, let me at least help you." Ellaria heals Alexis back to full health at the cost of an ether. "Oh, and Tesni, I wouldn't mind having one of those ladles of gumbo. And some gold would be nice as well." Ellaria puts her hands on her hips as she turns to face the goblins. "We already kicked your megablocks to next Tuesday, so start talking! How big is your party? And have you actually located any of the children yet? And what in Sylvania's name was the gnome thinking, hiring you lot to save his children?!" Quote
UsernameMDM Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 "Oh, I don't know if you can rest here, in front of these dastardly goblins... If you can't I'd be happy to heal you." "Thank you Ellaria" Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Tesni sat back, amazed at her friends assertiveness. "You can of course have the ladle and for fairness I will give everyone except myself 10 gold each. We still have a telescope, morningstar, spear and frying pan to give." Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 "Ah thank you Ellaria." Alexis smiles, the frowns as she joins Ellaria questioning the goblins. "Who is backing you to find his kids anyway? And don't think just because you knocked me out means I'm weak!" Quote
UsernameMDM Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 We still have a telescope, morningstar, spear and frying pan to give." "Thank you Tesni. I wouldn't mind the telescope, but I will allow others to get their share before I get mine." Quote
Scorpiox Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 "A great victory, well done friends. We should ask the goblins about their party and if they know of the children. I wouldn't mind the telescope, but I'm fine if someone else wants it." Quote

"We already kicked your megablocks to next Tuesday, so start talking! How big is your party? And have you actually located any of the children yet? And what in Sylvania's name was the gnome thinking, hiring you lot to save his children?!" The twins turned to each other and laughed. "Why wouldn't he hire us? We're capable. You scrubs could barely handle two of us. Of course, we do have the highest health in the crew." The goblin puffed up his chest from behind the twine used to bind him. "Hey, what's that coward with the shield trying to do, take a nap? There are scared children to save and your knight is going to sleep. Fail!" "Heh heh yeah, FAIL!" "And don't think just because you knocked me out means I'm weak!" The goblin demolitionist's toothy grin grew even wider and more devious looking than ever. "Perhaps things would have gone better for you if that barbarian would have stuck to one target. Of course, our taunting has that effect on weaker minds. And you didn't take advantage of that nifty lightning element on yer bow. Topaz causes a helluva lot of problems for my brother's cart." The bound twins watch with disgust as their posessions are distributed. "I can't watch anymore! No more questions until you finish divying up our stuff and ask us nicely." "I want to see who gets the rest of my gumbo. It's delicious, I made it myself." QM Note: Looks like 1x Ladle of Gumbo, telescope, morningstar, spear and frying pan are still undecided upon. Party stat update after loot distribution. Edited October 28, 2011 by Jebediahs Quote

Fail!" "Fail? Ha. I'm not the one tied up watching my stuff being handed out to people who just beat me in battle. Besides, if you were so worried about the kids, why did you bother fighting us and not spend the time looking for them?" Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 "Ok, I'll take the spear. Hoke can have the telescope since he asked first. Frying Pan or Morningstar Haldor?" She turned to speak to their captives "You attacked us, all we did was walk around this maze. Hoke, as a knight you can talk all pretty for them. Ask them a few questions the we will move on. Let's hope we don't need to do the same to their friends." Quote

"I did notice thank you." Alexis frowns and turns away. Quote
Scorpiox Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 "Aye, I'll have the pan please. Hopefully Hoke will be able to worm something out of the goblins, we should move on soon lest the other party find the children." Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 "Right, Alexis has the Magnifying Glass and 10 gold, Ellaria has the Ladle and 10 gold. Hoke has the Telescope and 10 gold, Haldor has the Frying pan and 10 gold. I will have the Spear and the Morningstar. That means everyone gets and item and gold, as I can sell the morningstar for 10 gold, this is fair yes?" Quote

The goblins fidget relentlessly against their restraints. What will the party do next? "Enjoy my gumbo, cleric! I didn't spit in it...honest! Maybe a little spit, by accident. " Quote
UsernameMDM Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 With a little flourish, Hoke twirls his new telescope in his fingers and slips it into his pack. He walks over to the goblins, eyes locked on theirs all the way, and stops just out of their reach. Hoke uses his Diplomacy skill "Tell us what you know. Trust me, it will go a lot easier on you if you just tell us what you know. How many more are there to your group? Where are the children?" Hoke turns to his quest mates. "Anyone else have any other questions?" OOC - sorry, was out of town all day at the Texas Renaissance Festival! Fun time with the family. Quote
Jebediahs Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 The young warrior's piercing stare and calming demeanor reminded the goblins of their own leader. He was the only who could control the twins. Due to years of practice, Ablesword's mind judo successfully breaks the will of the foul-mouthed goblins. As if hypnotized, the two state everything they know. "We are the Maa'ri, an elite group of greenskins that have a 98% successful completion rate of all missions we undertake. There are five members total in our crew. The first is our leader. He is a very strong warrior. He's like a knight and barbarian rolled into one! Our leader is paired with our rogue. She's very dangerous and fleet of foot. From the looks of your party, I doubt any of you could catch her. She also employs a lethal high damage poison that is curable with a standard heal or potion. "Hey! It's my turn to talk! We also travel with a ranger. Him and his hound are always off in the forest somewhere for long periods of time. He communicates with the beast quite often. The fourth member is a magic user and he's pretty tough. He's a combination of your cleric and mage...oh wait, it doesn't look like your party has a mage. Hahah good luck! Of course you've met my brother and I. Together we count as the fifth member of the Maa'ri." "As far as we know, only our spell slinger had caught one of the Szalinski brats. Our ranger was close to tracking down another and our leader went looking for the third one. He sent us away from camp to stall anyone who didn't belong here in the backyard. And that's all we have to say." Hoke turned towards the rest of the party when all of a sudden, POOF! a smoke bomb was used ! As the smoke cleared, the party saw that the goblin twins were gone and no visible tracks were present. The party is left to digest what they've learned. How will the party proceed? - Return to the previous intersection and take the RIGHT path - Return to the entrance and take the LEFT path Quote
Scorpiox Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 "I'm for taking the right path, but Tesni shall decide." OOC: Sorry Jebediahs, new character pic. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 "Alexis, would your compass lead us somewhere? But I think if the children are split up, we will not get a clue from it..." Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 "Yes I will Tensi." Alexis gets out her compass and uses it. Quote
Jebediahs Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 The compass wavered continuously between the two paths. Perhaps if the user focused on one thing, such as a specific person, item, etc. the compass would clearly know what is desired of it. Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Alexis focuses on the children and tries her compass again. Quote
