If that thing escapes, I have no doubt we're goin' have to deal with it later," Skrall thinks to himself. <I do not doubt yer courage sir knight. If you wish, see if you might distract that second minion from the backrow, while I try and put a bolt through its skull.> With that Skrall takes aim at Minion B from the Back Row.

Peppermint_M Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 The beast had knocked her to the ground! Picking herself and her sword up Tesni charged once more at the creature. Quote
Scorpiox Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 "Again! I attack the Chaos Beast of Life from the front row" Haldor tries to impress Jess, as he had worries that she doubted him. Quote
Zepher Posted December 13, 2011 Author Posted December 13, 2011 <Sorry heroes, I swear, I’m not rigging this!> Chaos Beast of Life Round Two Dyric – Retrieve Knife Felton v. Chaos Beast of Life – Damage Tensi v. Chaos Beast of Life – Special Damage (Tonic) Skrall v. Minion B – Critical Hit Hoke v. Minion A – Miss Jess v. Minion A – Special Damage Haldor v. Chaos Beast of Life – Damage Dyric skips around the bones and digs for his knife in the bones as Felton slashes at the monster, who catches him in its jaws and nearly tears him apart before hurling into into a pile of bones (-10). Tesni like-wise charges the Beast, but black smoke appears at its mouth and a tonic propels out of it, hitting her in the head and catching her off guard. Skrall fires a bolt at Minion B, who Sir Poletad is hopping around. The bolt lands in in the Minion’s glowing eye (-28) and stays there. Sir Earl ribbits in fear and hops away. Hoke swings at his target, but it dodges under his sword, and Jess is caught off guard as her target retreats to its mother, most likely to heal her, though she is not wounded. Haldor raises his weapon, ready to crack some bones, but the monster’s jaws rip through his arm before he can bring it down (-10).

Peppermint_M Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 "FALL! PAWN OF CHAOS!" the black smoke was met by a flare of purple flames as Tesni once again sought to slay the beast. Cysgodion thrummed an even tone, placid rage was all one could sense from it. Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Seeing how the Chaos beast is decimating his party Skrall loads a bolt and fires off a round at the Chaos Beast of Life from the back row. Battle Order: Dyric Felton Tensi Skrall Hoke Jess Haldor Quote
Scorpiox Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 "Should I heal myself? If you my allies think not, then I will attack the Minion A from the front row." Haldor realises that if he nearly dies again that Jess will not want to be seen with him. Quote
The Legonater Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 I leap out of the way of the monster, then throw a knife at Minion B from the back row. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Hoke's ears perked up at Felton's statement. Perhaps damage dealt now would remain in a future battle. Hoke attacks the chaos beast from the front row. Quote
Zepher Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Chaos Beast of Life Round Three Dyric v. Minion B – Shield Felton v. Minion B – Critical Hit Tensi v. Chaos Beast – Extra Critical Hit Skrall v. Chaos Beast – Miss Hoke v. Chaos Beast – Special Damage Jess v. Chaos Beast – Shield Haldor v. Minion A – Miss Dyric throws his knife at Minion B, lodging it in the skull’s remaining glowing eye (-15). Felton follows him as he tried to tear the knife out of the hole, and smashes his sword down on the skull, cracking it. Fire erupts outwards throwing the two heroes back, and Dyric lands near gold which he quickly pockets. Tesni drags herself towards the beast once more and finally scores a hit. Chunks of bones fly and pepper the air as her nearly purple smog covered sword slices off a piece of the beast (-90). The monster hisses at her. Skrall fires an arrow at it while it is distracted, but it passes through one of the many rib cages, not hurting the beast. Hoke attempts to cleave off a small amount of the monster, and at first he appears to succeed until it becomes evident that the monster has created a third minion. Jess also attacks the Chaos Beast successfully (-37), and though she is tossed back she once more fines gold on one of the workers. “I don’t know why these guys were working, they all seem stinking rich,” Felton mutters. The Chaos Beast slithered out through a window as the minions crowded back the party. It hissed as it went, and dropped a tattered piece of parchment, folded up nicely like a note.

Minion B – Hit Jess v. Minion C – Miss Haldor v. Minion A – Hit Dyric rushes forward to pick up the knife and the note, and after retching his knife free hops back from Minion A as he growls at him. Felton rams his sword into the Minion as it tries to catch up with Dyric (-7). Tesni, furious that her opponent fled, does not see as Minion C sneaks up behind her, and barely catches him with her shield as he launches himself at her. Some of the flames lick her skin and singe it (-2). Skrall fires an arrow, once more clogging Minion A’s free eye socket (-28). Hoke cleaves Minion B in two and it explodes, showing them all with burns skull bits. Jess, trying to dodge skull bits, cannot properly focus on her target, but her love finally scores a hit, ending Minion A’s short demonic life.

Sir Poletad quickly hops back into Skrall's satchel. "A chaos beast broke in. He killed the workers. My mercenaries dispatched of it." The guards stare at the bodies, looking skeptical. "We can't have skinned all these men..." Felton reasons with them. The guards quietly nod to themselves. "Witches and demons," mutters the grumpy looking guard. The heroes step outside the factory and look around, but the Chaos Beast has vanished from sight. ---------------------------------- The heroes sit around the fire that night, chatting, when Felton suddenly brings something up. "What was on that parchment that the Chaos Beast left behind?" Dyric takes it out of his pocket, and passes it around. The Story of the Little Girl and the Kidnappers (Part 1)Once there was a little girl. And she was very happy. She had a mother and a father, as most little girls have. Her mother smelled nice and looked pretty and baked for her on a daily basis. Her father ran a big business and many men reported to him, and though he seemed stressed a lot of the time, he loved her, and he never brought his business into the house. One day, while her father was working and her mother was out buying goods, six strangers came into the house. The first of the strangers was an Orc in shining armor. He had a sweet voice and talked to the little girl as his other friends entered the house. There was an elven woman with a bow strapped to her back. She chattered away with a short dwarf, who laughed alongside her with a gruff, deep laugh. He carried a staff with him, and light radiated from his small black eyes. An older man followed behind them, who grumbled the whole way, and when he stubbed his toe coming in he nearly broke a table in her dining room out of rage. The last two came in together, bickering; a young black haired woman carrying a staff with a gem at the end, and another human with messy black hair and a sloppy smile. The Orc held the girl’s attention the entire time. And then, once all his friends were in, the dwarf nodded to the old man and the young man and they took out ropes, tied up the girl, and the Orc stuffed a rag in her mouth and slung her over his shoulder and the six strangers took the little girl from her house. The heroes stare at the story, and then each other. The fire cackles. Sir Poletad crawls out of Skrall's pack and ribbits. <I'm going to encourage some RPing here, just for a few hours. You can regulate it yourself, just post in bold when you'd like to go to sleep, and once you all have I'll start the next day! We've had so much fights so far, I want to make sure I'm not just rushing y'all along, and that you get a chance to have some fun and growth.> Edited December 18, 2011 by Zepher Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Skrall goes and scrounges up a brace of waterfowl bearing holes from his crossbow. Sitting at the fire he quickly plucks the birds and spits them over the crackling flames. "So, what was the plan Felton? Obviously ya weren't plannin' on facin' one of those monstrosities. I find it hard ta believe the factory workers like creatin' such foul beasts when they stand as good a chance at bein' eaten by one." "By the way, anybody got any preferences for tomorra's plan, I'm thinkin' we try and see what the town has to offer, perhaps we can learn a little more 'bout the enemy from the locals, though if any of ya are to leave camp, I want ya usin' yer alias.

The Legonater Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 I look at the partchment skeptically, then begin re-sharpening my knife for the next time I may need it. Well that's a facinatingly vague story. Do any of you see any point in it, or could the writer use some of Mr. Rone's Training? Quote
Sisco Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Jess sits and counts her gold by the fire. "Quite the profitable battle, that one." She then takes out Blohdhurm, a whetstone, a rag, and some oil and begins cleaning and polishing her blade. She quietly sings while she polishes; a sweet melody about love, war, and friendship. Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 "The tale sounds like any normal party I'd say, elven ranger, barbarian, knight, mage, cleric. Only thing rubbin' me the wrong way be their actions, don't sound to heroic to me." Skrall checks his dinner but singes his fingers on the browning flesh. "Sod! Well Dyric ya made up fer yer first battle. Ya said ya came from a family of honerable rogues was it?" Quote
UsernameMDM Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Hoke unbuckles Vintul, and sits down by the fire. He checks his sword, shield, armor and the rest of his gear to make sure he will be ready for the next encounter. "A strange tale indeed," he says to Skrall. "Something just doesn't set right with me about that story." He pulls out some cheese, bread and an apple for his dinner and asks if anyone else would like to share his meal. Quote

And Skrall, forgive me for being rude, but those factory workers may not have too much of a choice. You do realize that the government is oppressing them? There is a reason there is a rebel group. A sizable rebel group. Also, you have yet to really meet Wren, I understand if you don't understand here, but... she's more powerful than you're acting. If she wants something... it's hard to stop her." "It's true. I was stuck in that Arena for three different tournaments before Jess and Co. broke me out. It felt like a few weeks. It took a year off my life. Bah. Damn wench. Though I still wouldn't trust the rebels as far as I could spit. As for the story, I don't think it sounds too different than normal "heroes" to me. You lot may be decent, other than the coward, I haven't forgotten you fled Dyric, but you "heroes" think you can get away with anything just because you're heroes". It's vain. "When did you get so jaded?" "Has anyone seen any flies around?" Quote

Well then as long as there ain't any horn blowers it shouldn't be that tough sabatogin' the rest of the factories with help from the inside. Hans, the Pog chief mentioned some of the other rebel leaders, who else should we be expectin' to try and meet with? I think he mentioned an orc?" Quote
Peppermint_M Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Tesni sat watching the shadows dance away from the fire, the ever present purple glow of Cysgodion weaved an intricate waltz through the projected flickers and her eye shone deeper purple. Listening to the story and the plans, the opinions and the situation she kept silent until now. "You are right friend; heroes are only heroes when they are victors. Their might makes them right and the right they fight for is the one with the gold at the end." She paused and looked around the group, "Some of us prefer to be moral while others will happily be swept into falsehoods and subterfuge as long as the gold is good." She pointed to herself and to Jess, "Before her adventure at the arena, we cleared a farm of monsters together, good and straightforward." This time she pointed to Hoke, "When Jess and I parted ways I went to some caves in a team with Hoke, we cleared the undead, brought back by their power to cause evil to the living." Cysgodion gleamed as she shifted the blade slightly, "There I earned my sword. After that we went to rescue some children but some Orc mercenaries opposed us, we both had the aim of saving the children but their pride stood in the way of alliance. Their cause was noble, to earn a ransom for their kin being held by a sect of Ennoc but still we fought them for the gold. Their betrayal and stubbornness made it greyer." She sighed and looked at the flames. "I fought for myself, not right, for my survival in battle, the children would have been rescued whoever 'won'. That was the shadows of fate." Taking a sip of water she sat silent for a moment. "It sounds like Wren is telling us her story, or just a story to confuse the shades. She did not count on someone guided by shadow, darkness with light. Light with darkness. The shadows of life." Quote
