Jebediahs Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 As the elven ranger concentrated on the Szalinski children, her magic compass clearly pointed back to the entrance thus suggesting the party return and take the left path. Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 "That's odd. I've never seen it do that before......" "So back then and make a left, Tensi?" Quote
Sandy Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Ellaria wiped the dust of the battle from her shoulders. "Great! Let's go find those darlings and bring them back to their papa. My how they must feel afraid in this huge and imposing world..." Quote
Jebediahs Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Trusting the compass will take them to the closest Szalinski child, the heroes return to the point they started from and travel down the left path. Alexis's keen elven eyesight sees a strange object sticking out from the ground. Upon closer inspection, the party realizes it is a hat and that it is guarded by extremely toxic baby scorpions. Results of Shrinking Sickness in Battle versus Baby Scorpions: Haldor Skovgaard - Encouraged Ellaria Arbour - Encouraged Hoke Ablesword - Encouraged As Tesni and Alexis have been cured of the Shrinking Sickness, they can only watch as their friends suffer the horrendous side effects. Sylvania must be watching over her favorite daughter as the afflicted are blessed with a sense of encouragement. But will their elevated spirits be enough to defeat the terribly toxic vermin?

Peppermint_M Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 "I will target the Black Baby Scorpion from the Front Row! At last, some silent enemies! Unless of course there is time for Alexis to try talking to them?" Battle Order is Alexis cannot speak to them: Tesni Alexis Hoke Haldor Ellaria Quote
Sandy Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Ellaria feels hot as the surge of courage fills her body. She suddenly has no fear, and these scorpions impose no threat to her. "Come on, guys! We can take these babies out quicker than Lord B... Wait, did I use that comparison already? Anyway, I will attack Brown Baby Scorpion A from the front row." Quote
Jebediahs Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 Alexis attempts to communicate with the baby scorpions... "All I can make out is 'Mama, the ants are back. Protect us!'" Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 "Would it be more diplo-mantic to leave them be then?" Tesni said... 'This is going to be like the pricklebears again...' she muttered, looking around for what was quite likely a large scorpion. "Alright, try for a good KO, we don't want to make mother scorpion too cross!" The battle order stands. Quote
Scorpiox Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) "Ya-HARR! SMASH DA BABY SCORP (BEH) FROM FRONT ROWS!!!1!. Sorry about that, but continue." Edited October 31, 2011 by Scorpiox Quote

Making up for their pathetic performance in the last battle, Hoke and Haldor score critical hits on their targets. Hoke's high spirits combined with the wind element on his weapon allow the knight to almost wipe out his opponent in one swing! Two of the babies swarm Ellaria and one manages to score a hit on the cleric. Three "defenseless" baby scorpions remain. Enemies: Black Baby Scorpion Translated: - "Why?"

UsernameMDM Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 After hearing the translated cries of the scorpions, Hoke takes a defensive stance and turns to his party: "Do we attack again?" Hoke asks with apprehension in his voice. Quote
Sandy Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 After hearing the translated cries of the scorpions, Hoke takes a defensive stance and turns to his party: "Do we attack again?" Hoke asks with apprehension in his voice. "Ow! That one bit me! Let's smash them!" Ellaria remembers that the element of ice is especially effective against vermin like scorpions, so she decides to throw an Ice Bomb at the enemies to take at least the weakest of them out. "Guys, focus your attacks on the black and the second brown one!" Quote

UsernameMDM Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) Hoke hears Ellaria's cry of pain and steels himself against the scorpions please for help. He tightens his grip on his sword and goes in again to finish it. Hoke attacks Brown Scorpion B from the front row. OOC - again no internet till late this afternoon. Pep M may control Hoke if needed.

Hoke's indecision on whether or not to strike costs him as a scorpion snaps at him. Fortunately his armor protects him from the damage. Haldor also gets hit and Ellaria eliminates a scorpion thanks to a double damage dealing ice bomb. The heroes are lucky as it appears the scorpion mother has yet to teach her babies how to use their stingers. Two baby scorpions remain. Enemies: Black Baby Scorpion Translated: - "Run!"

The blow jump starts the scorpion's puberty as it starts poking the party members. The encouraged clerics clean up the vermin with their blunt weapons. The poison within Hoke and Alexis fades before it has a chance to cause harm. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! All party members gain a level of experience with exception of Alexis and Tesni who gain half a level. The party receives three vials of venom and a red and white hat.

A poisoned enemy loses 1 health each turn. Jester Hat {quest item} - Improves target NPC's Condition level. QM Note: GREETINGS HEROES! You've encountered your first Condition related item! Some NPCs have a condition rating associated with them and certain actions tied to each condition. NPC CONDITIONS Poor - Fair - Good - Great Remember, Moranis Szalinski wants all his children returned to him in GOOD condition. An NPC may even grant you a special reward if they reach GREAT condition! OOC: Tesni gains power but health remains the same as I mistakenly added +1 health to you when you gained half a level. Sorry for inconvenience. Everyone else please double check your stats. The party demolishes the tiny scorpion babies and are once again faced with a choice, STRAIGHT or RIGHT? Quote
