Sandy Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 OoC: Sorry, had some Mafia-related business to check first. Results of Round Two of the Crab Battle: >Bartholomew vs. Angry Crab - Special Damage Thormanil vs. Angry Crab Mellow Crab B - Miss Thothwick vs. Angry Crab Mellow Crab B - Critical Damage Hoptet vs. Angry Crab Mellow Crab B - Hit >Cinna vs. Mellow Crab A - Damage The battle continues. The Angry Crab suddenly calms down and turns into a mellow yellow individual, sacrificing offence for greater defense. Thormanil's attack misses, but Thothwick does 23 damage to the newly transformed crab. Hoptet also hits it for 16 damage. Cinna is attacked by the original mellow crab for 3 damage. Both enemies still stand, the other much bulkier than before.

Professor Flitwick Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 ["Is it usual for animals in this part of the world to have such violent mood swings? Regardless, I'll attack Mellow Crab B from the front row with my stick"] ["Not that I know of. Though those Golden Scorpions really did have a bad case of Agoraphobia... I'll attack Mellow Crab A with my sabre from the front row"]

Sandy Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 OoC: That was quick! Results of Round Three of the Crab Battle: >Bartholomew vs. Mellow Crab A - Critical Hit Thormanil vs. Mellow Crab A - Hit Thothwick vs. Mellow Crab A - Shield (Mug) Hoptet vs. Mellow Crab B - Special Damage >Cinna vs. Mellow Crab B Mellow Crab A - Damage As the battle goes on, Bartholomew gets an especially good strike against the first mellow crab, causing 24 damage to it. Thormanil also takes a swing at it, depleting 28 health thanks to his thunderous axes. Thothwick mugs the crab for 31 damage and gains 31 gold in the process. The second mellow crab rages up and to its detriment turns into an angry crab, for it has already lost over 60 health. With one crab down, Cinna turns her attention to the remaining enemy, but it manages to attack her again for 3 damage. One enemy remains, so the rest of the battle will be played automatically.

Thormanil follows suite with another electric strike that razes 28 health off of the crab. This infuriates the crustacean, and it ends up sharing the fate of its companion - sudden death upon transformation into an Angry Crab. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Thothwick gains a level while Bartholomew, Cinna, Thormanil and Hoptet gain half a level. The enemies drop two Meads. Bluto is revived, but something is wrong with him...

He does not look well at all, though. "Miss Cinna... I don't feel so swell..." the boy mutters, then passes out again. Thothwick quickly turns to Hoptet to plead for help. The druid checks the boy's pulse and forehead, then attempts to heal him, but it only has a momentary effect. "<This is worrisome>", the Metasimian healer says ominously. "<He has a high fever and does not respond to my healing skills. It seems the boy has been struck with an infection. He is still very young, so his body does not stand the same kind of blows as ours do. Whatever is wrong with him, we need to find a solution fast. With a high fever like this, I do not think he will survive past three days, and he certainly is not in any condition to fight. I am very sorry...>" Thothwick translates the druid's words with a heavy heart. What will the party do now?
Professor Flitwick Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 "Maybe when we find the Black Pearl for the Necromancer, we should inquire into... reviving Bluto, should he need it."
Darkdragon Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 "Does anyone know if this Remedy will cure Blutos infection?"
Brickdoctor Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 If this is just another Effect from the battle, a Remedy should do the trick.
Professor Flitwick Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 "It's worth a try then." Thothwick gives his remedy to Bluto to use.
Sandy Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 Thothwick makes Bluto drink the remedy he carries, but it does not seem to be working. Something is definitely severely wrong with the boy.

Darkdragon Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 While Thothwick administers the remedy, Cinna pulls some items together. "Hoptet, if you are interested, I'd like to give you this Quarterstaff from my pack to use during battles. It should work a bit better than that stick you have. Bartholomew and Thormanil, I'd like to give each of you one mead from the crabs. " "We need to find the pearl today and get back to town. so I will keep digging." B9
Professor Flitwick Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 ["Thanks Cinna! I can know put my skills to use, as opposed to using this stick!"]
Sandy Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 "We need to find the pearl today and get back to town. so I will keep digging." B9 KABOOM!!! Another explosion knocks Cinna unconscious.

Professor Flitwick Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 ["Hold still Cinna, I'll heal you again."]
Darkdragon Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Hoptet has healed the pain but he can't help her with the shock and disappointment. With tears welling in her eyes, Cinna drags her shovel over to area C1 and digs. "This...is the last area...if our map pattern is right."
Sandy Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 KABABOOM!!! Yet another explosion depletes Cinna's health to zero. After being revived, the mage feels utterly exhausted.

Darkdragon Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 "I...can't...do this anymore." Cinna collapses on the beach in tears. Her shovel lay wherever it landed after the last trap explosion.
Professor Flitwick Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 As Hopet heals Cinna, Thothwick reaches out his hand to pull her up. "Perhaps, Miss Cinna, it would be best if I were to let you have a break from digging?"
Darkdragon Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 "Thank you for the healing again Hoptet. I'm sorry to drain your ether like this. I think I've searched all of the areas that make sense based on the pattern, but no sign of the pearl. Is the pearl in a clam that can only be found at night?"
Brickdoctor Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 If it's a pearl, maybe it's in the water. I don't think I need a shovel to search C9.
Sandy Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 If it's a pearl, maybe it's in the water. I don't think I need a shovel to search C9. Bartholomew splashes in the water. He finds all sorts of seashells, but none of them carry a black pearl inside. If the party returns to the city now, it will be night.
Professor Flitwick Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 "Well, I guess there is nothing else for it, we'll just have to buy one from the market and buy one."
Darkdragon Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Cinna sits up and get's ahold of herself, knowing that this isn't the time to lose her cool. "Well there are some places left we could dig, but based on the pattern we've seen...I don't think we will find anything. Bartholomew had a good idea to check in the water since that is where I would expect to find a pearl. He only checked one area, maybe we could all check different areas and it will go fast. The shoreline isn't very long."
swils Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 "I'm a bit confused, I heard Bartholomew talkin' about checkin' the water, but when I turned around, it looked like he was just diggin' in the sand at C9.. Anyway, I tried my hand at one of those maps. Mostly speaks for itself, green circles haven't been dug out yet. And then there's the water. And I've not got a clue if it's worth lookin' under some of the pieces of wood strewn about or not."
