Quarryman Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 Namyrra woke up feeling like shit. Her last memories were of the boarding party being repelled, after that it was all black. And based on the amount of sand in her clothes and hair, not to mention the fact that she was lying on a vast expanse of the damned thing she was convinced that she wasn't aboard the ship anymore. Sitting up she felt more than a little dizzy, but after a few minutes her head suddeny cleared and she felt remarkably well. Turning around she noticed that this was thanks to Ellaria who'd been kind and healed her wounds, and she was now able to stand up, so she did. "Thank you so much Ellaria, I really needed that, I am most gracious. "
JimBee Posted December 26, 2011 Author Posted December 26, 2011 OoC: I just noticed that my inventory in the party listing has two extra scrolls. I should only have the Scroll of Sealing I borrowed from Atramor, unless I've missed something. Alf borrowed them to you: OoC: My stats are right. And sorry I'm late! Alf hands Ellaria his Scroll of Sleep and Scroll of Blindness, then hands Namyrra Uq his Scroll of Confusion and scroll of sealing.

CMP Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 Atramor coughs again, spitting up more sand, while he takes a look at the island. "Hmmm. Ellaria, you have a telescope and compass, could you try using them to figure out where the hell we are? And Captain, where exactly were we before the ship got destroyed?"
JimBee Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 Atramor looks around the island. The party is at the shoreline, and strangely there doesn't seem to be any wreckage or sign of either ship. Ahead is a large beach that stretches on a while before meeting a dense jungle. "Let's see now... well we were on our way ter the Fang Coast when yer criminal friends came a'sneakin' up behind us... we must be somewhere along that route. If I were to guess, I'd say about here." Captain Whales pulls out a sea chart. "Though we could be anywhere in the Crystalline Sea. I blacked out when we went under."
JimBee Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 QM Note: In case it wasn't clear, the quest is back up to speed and will continue normally. I'm just waiting for you to do something.
Masked Builder Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 "So then there are unmarked islands on the map then?" Alexis asked. "And are tribal populations common on islands?"
Sandy Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Ellaria wiped the sand off her dress. "Well, if we're all accounted for and fully healed, why not go on an exploration? We need to figure out how to get away from here, after all. Who knows, maybe we'll find the Finegold brothers hiding from this very same island?"
Quarryman Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 "I think it would be a bit too much of a coincidence if we found the Finegold brothers on this island, but sitting around here on the beach won't do us any good, so yes, let's go exploring."
Jebediahs Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 En Sabah Nur removed some parchment from his pouch. He wondered if he could bend the words of his scrolls to fashion a teleportation spell. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. "Sigh It's no use. My command of ether is nowhere near the necessary level to complete such a task. The naga didn't teach me that well." Nur was right, his sorcery wasn't that advanced. His gaze returned to his companions. "Atramor is right. If you do indeed possess a compass along with your telescope Ellaria, would you mind playing navigator for us?"
Bricksandparts Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 OOC: Sorry I'm late! We had a lot to do at Christmas, plus it was postponed a day... Alf looks around and sees if he can build a shelter for his fellow quest-mates. Alf looks at the map to see where they think they are. "How we plan get off here?"
Masked Builder Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 "I have a compass as well Nur. Don't think we have to rely on just Ellaria." She turns and looks at Ellaria. "No offense to you of couse."
Jebediahs Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 "My apologies, good elf. The mistake is mine for not taking stock of our resources at the beginning of this quest. By all means..."
Masked Builder Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 "Of course my dear mage." She smiles at him. "I meant no offense."
JimBee Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 Ellaria takes out her telescope, and looks around. Towards the jungle and the rest of the island are trees buzzing with life, and seemingly not much else. She points the telescope seaward and finds that there is no other land in sight. Both the cleric and Alexis take out their magic compasses. The needles spin around until they point north, towards the jungle.
Jebediahs Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 "Well alright then." Nur wrung out his cloak a last time and headed toward the jungle.
JimBee Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 Nur started to lead the heroes and the shipmates towards the jungle when a sudden rumbling sound could be heard. The sandy surface beneath them began to shake. Not even Nur's extensive knowledge on earth magic could prepare him for what was next. In a split second and an explosion of sand, the head of a giant worm emerged! It's rows of giant teeth snapped at the heroes, and a few scorpions nearby crawled out of their nests to fend off the intruders. PREPARE FOR BATTLE! Enemies: Sand Worm Type: Beast, Rock Level: 9 Health: 180/180 Special 1: Dig (burrows beneath the sand, preventing actions to it all of the next round.

After an egg is laid, there will be the round that it is laid on and one after it before it hatches. And fun fact: In real life, scorpions do not actually lay eggs. But of course these are Heroica scorpions. Details. Edit: ...and Flickr does not seem to be functioning at the moment. Apologies if you can't see the picture, it should be fixed once Flickr is.
CMP Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Atramor curses as the sand erupts in front of him. Instantly, he charges towards the Golden Scorpion from the front row. Will the Scroll of Sealing prevent Scorpions from being hatched?
Sandy Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 "It looks like our first order of business should be getting rid of those Mother Scorpions. We can easily find ourselves overwhelmed by scorpions if we don't act fast." Ellaria promptly attacks the Mother Scorpion A from the front row.
Quarryman Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 "Yes Ellaria, those scorpion mothers look like they could be trouble, we need to take them out quickly." Ice spell at Mother Scorpion B from the back row.
Masked Builder Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 "Seeing as those scorpions mothers will be a big problem, I will attack both mothers from the back row with an ice spell." As Alexis is readying her spell, she sees the bracelet Althior gave her, and thinks of him, wishing they could be together.
Jebediahs Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 En Sabah Nur smiled as his companions quickly determined how best to defeat the encounter. He'd never seen a sand worm before but if it dwelled in the earth it must have an aversion to water based spells. "I will attack the Sand Worm from the back row with a water spell! Alf, would you mind assisting with the scorpion mothers?" Order of Actions: Alexis Fenral ---- Scorpion Mother A Alexis Fenral ---- Scorpion Mother B Namyrra Uq ---- Scorpion Mother B Ellaria Arbour ---- Scorpion Mother A Atramor Gibbin ---- Golden Scorpion Alf Gregory ---- Scorpion Mother A En Sabah Nur ---- Sand Worm Nur watched Alexis as she prepared her spells. Now equipped with a clear vision of the evoker's creatures of summoning, Nur felt confident about the fight ahead. The party would have an extreme advantage should the elementals be brought to the field of battle again. OoC: Feel free to use scrolls. Nur is unfamiliar with scroll spell casting so makes incorrect assumptions such as thinking the sealing scroll works only on humanoids.
Bricksandparts Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Alf follows Nur's orders and attacks Scorpion Mother A from the Front Row!
JimBee Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 Results of Round 1 of Beach Battle Alexis Fenral vs. Scorpion Mother A - Special Damage Alexis Fenral vs. Scorpion Mother B - Damage Namyrra Uq vs. Scorpion Mother B - Magic Burst (Lightning) Ellaria Arbour vs. Scorpion Mother A - Special Damage Atramor Gibbin vs. Golden Scorpion - Critical Hit Alf Gregory vs. Scorpion Mother A - Hit En Sabah Nur vs. Sand Worm - Magic Burst (Water) The battle begins, and the two Scorpion Mothers lay an egg each. Alexis first takes a sting from one of them and then a nasty bite from the other (poisoned, -5 HP). Namyrra is a bit luckier this time, though, and her powers overflow as bolts of lightning strike all enemies (18 damage to all). Ellaria avoids another sting, and Atramor lands a critical hit on the Golden Scorpion ([7x2]+11=25). Alf follows up by smashing Scorpion Mother A (18), and Nur follows Namrrya's lead by performing another Magic Burst, this time calling forth the element of the sea. A downpour falls, and strikes all enemies and the Sand Worm for double damage (20 damage to all except Sand Worm, for 40), which finishes off one of the mothers. Alexis takes damage as the poison rolls through her veins.
