Professor Flitwick Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Shall we return to the fountain? "Yes, Mr. Docken, let us put these Remedies to good use!"
Sandy Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 Shall we return to the fountain? Will the party return directly to the fountain, or try another path through Kalakita Bog?
Professor Flitwick Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 [i think we should go a different route through the bog. We could find her broomstick, and may give us a chance of convincing that witch to release poor Bluto]
Brickdoctor Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I don't see any reason not to take a different path. I guess there could be some sort of huge enemy that would Knock us all Out, but I do still have a Smoke Bomb.
Darkdragon Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 "Let's take the inner eastern path through the bog this time."
Sandy Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 OoC: I woke up earlier to let you guys move on with this. The party heads out of the city once again. ~FIFTH NIGHT IN SALMANDA~ Upon reaching the entrance to Kalakita Bog, Djuvali is nowhere to be seen. The Cobra Priest must have left for his homeland already. The party decides to venture deeper into the bog in search of Baba's lost broomstick. At the entrance they turn to the east, and when they come to the first crossing they go straight south. At the next crossing they find a huge red flowerbud. The heroes approach it, and suddenly it opens up to reveal gaping jaws filled with razor-sharp teeth emanating a putrid gas. Two female creatures jump howling down from the surrounding trees and encircle the party. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Brickdoctor Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Cinna, would you prefer that I go after a Bog Nymph or the Mantrap? I have high Power, but neither my advantages in high HP and my Dread Hat are effective against a one-hit Knock Out. For now, I attack Bog Nymph (Pink) from the Back Row.
Darkdragon Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 "That sounds fine Bartholomew, I don't think any of us are protected from being knocked out so we'll just have to try and end this quick. I'll attack Bog Nymph (Green) from the back row with my Nimbus Broomstick." Battle Order Cinna Bartholomew Thormanil Thothwick Hoptep
Professor Flitwick Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 "I'll attack the Mantrap from the back row with my Shuriken!" [i'll also attack the Mantrap from the back row, with my Quaterstaff. Also, shouldn't I be at full Ether?]
swils Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 "Welp, I'll attack the Mantrap from the front row as well. And Hoptet, I think your lack of a bedroll caused you to have a less restful night's sleep."
Sandy Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 Results of Round One of the Mantrap & the Girls Battle: >Cinna vs. Bog Nymph (Green) - Damage >Bartholomew vs. Bog Nymph (Pink) - Hit Thormanil vs. Mantrap - Damage >Thothwick (Shuriken) vs. Mantrap - Hit >Hoptep vs. Mantrap - Special Guard (Fail) The battle in the dense undergrowth begins. Cinna gets damaged by the green Bog Nymph and loses 3 health thanks to the protection provided by her helmet. Bartholomew hits the pink nymph for 23 damage. The attack of the Mantrap causes 15 damage to the armoured Thormanil. Thothwick's shuriken flies true and hits the Mantrap for 17 damage. However, the Mantrap then devours poor Hoptet, restoring itself to full health and removing the druid from the battle. The monstrous flower happily munches on the Metasimian as the battle continues. All three enemies remain, but the heroes are one member short.

Brickdoctor Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I assume that this means the Mantrap can't eat anyone until it spits Hoptet out, so I attack Mantrap from the Back Row.
Sandy Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 I assume that this means the Mantrap can't eat anyone until it spits Hoptet out. OoC: Yes, the specials alternate. I seem to have forgotten to mention that... Take note that the devoured party member is temporarily removed from the battle, so you cannot heal or revive him or target him with anything until he is "spit out".
swils Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 "That plant packs a helluva punch! And it's got an appetite bigger 'en any I've seen before... Seems it's our turn to save Hoptet's hide!" Attack Bog Nymph (Pink) from the front row.

The Mantrap then attacks Bartholomew for 9 damage. Thormanil's extra critical attack makes quick work out of the pink bog nymph as it deals 53 damage. The Mantrap also manages to damage Thothwick as well, dealing full 18 damage and leaving the rogue on the verge of getting knocked out. Two enemies remain, with Hoptet devoured.

Darkdragon Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Cinna hands the Briar Bow to Bartholomew, 1 Floral Bomb to Thormanil, and 1 Floral Bomb to Thothwick. She checks searches her bag but closes it empty-handed. "I don't have anything to cure Hoptet. We must continue on, but we will need to carry him. It's not safe to leave him here. Based on the map we could head towards the center of the bog down that path, or keep heading to the fountain. I'd prefer the fountain directly, but what do you guys think?"
