Heroica RPG - Quest#25: Imbuing the Sword

[Tamamono]

"Wait, it appears the guards aren't protected after all! In that case, I'll cast lightning at Guard (Boomerangs) from the back row! Same order!"

[UsernameMDM]

QM Note: No, how can you rest in a dungeon thing for long when you have guards in hot pursuit, if anything, you'd had had a minute to rest.

Had you have said that before tge battle, I would gave taken my tonic. Oh well!

Repeat

Qm Note: I expected you knew, since they were chasing you. Dannylonglegs threw the idea out there anyways but anyways, too late now I guess.

I figured you would have said something but it's ok.

[Dannylonglegs]

I'll attack guard A from the front row.

[Bricksandparts]

I'll attack guard A from the front row.

Do you mean the archer?

[The_Customizer]

I shall attack Guard (boomerangs) from the back row with my handcannon.

*sigh* It feels good to know you can deal with one enemy all by yourself, don't you agree?

[Dannylonglegs]

Do you mean the archer?

Ooc: Yes, and Guard B would be boomerang!

[Bricksandparts]

QM Note: Oops! Didn't realize everyone sent in their actions!

[UsernameMDM]

Sorry, thought I was stunned. So the axe has a garnet? I'd like to axe for the garnet and possible use in the Berserker class

Hoke rolls his shoulders and shakes his head to end the ringing sound in his ears from the boomerang hit. He walks up to the fallen guardsmen.

"I'd like the axe if no one objects."

Hoke inspects the guardsmen for any insignia, papers, etc.

[Tamamono]

Tomas breathes a sigh of relief. "Well, I'm glad that's over with."

"I will give the axe to Hoke, iron arm shield to Sylph, steel plated quiver to Erdathcath, quick bow to Erdathcath, and bat-a-rangs to me and Sylph. Most of these items aren't suitable for anyone here, but they'll probably fetch a pretty penny back at the Hall."

[Dannylonglegs]

Tomas breathes a sigh of relief. "Well, I'm glad that's over with."

"Well that wasn't too tough. I though there was a good reason we were running from those goons." Grunts Sylph, rubbing his bruised shoulder. Noticing Erdathcath's injuries, he announced "I'll heal Erdy, and then myself." and did so.

[Tamamono]

"Yes, and I'll heal myself."

[Bricksandparts]

QM Note: I'll probably be pretty busy tommorow so I won't get many updates if any, sorry about that, but who knows, I may be able to.

Thank you! These will most definitely help with my weaponry.

"Well that wasn't too tough. I though there was a good reason we were running from those goons." Grunts Sylph, rubbing his bruised shoulder. Noticing Erdathcath's injuries, he announced "I'll heal Erdy, and then myself." and did so.

Tis very kind of you to offer to heal me. Perhaps I shall be of assistance to you in the future as well.

Now then, shall we continue?

The party continues and as they turn a corner, they find Sam and the group that the guards must have been working for. Their apparent leader pulls Sam to his feat and lays his sword on his throat.

"Halt! Don't take another step or he dies! What are you doing here?"

He turns to the guards.

"Guards, surround them!"

He turns back to the party as the guards take their position.

"We have invented a classified project for the guild of invision and you don't have authorization. Four guards have went missing and we suspect that you took them out."

He gestures one of the guards towards a machine cloaked under a large cloth.

"You have 10 seconds to leave before your friend here dies, and you following seconds later. Your choice. 10."

[Dannylonglegs]

Sylph requests respectfully and non-threateningly, "Excuse us, mates. We don't want any trouble, just give us a second to confer with each other, and we'll be on our way."

Then Sylph addresses the group very quietly. "Do you all remember the crack in the wall a while back? Since they're giving us a chance to leave, I suggest we take it, go back there, blow the wall down with a fire bomb and take them by surprise. Either way we should get out and regroup. What do you all think? I doubt there's any way to take out the guy holding Sam hostage without hurting Sam."

[Bricksandparts]

Sylph requests respectfully and non-threateningly, "Excuse us, mates. We don't want any trouble, just give us a second to confer with each other, and we'll be on our way."

"Fine, but make it quick."

[Bricksandparts]

All of a sudden, the party and their opponents hear a voice, but cannot distinguish where it is coming from, though the party realizes it's Durkon.

"Hey, you party people, up here."

Everyone looks up, and the party sees their chance and rushes forward and hits the leader backward and pulls Sam to safety!

The party realizes Durkon is in a ventilation system and is close to the ceiling!

[Dannylonglegs]

"Wonderful! I'm glad we didn't leave you! You're actually quite useful!" Called Sylph to the sky. He then returned his attention to the guards.

"Now, Gentlemen, I for one do not appreciate your improper treatment of my friend Sam over there. It was most rude of you all, and I despise rudeness. I do believe that the only proper resolution to your problem is a hasty apology or your disgraceful deaths. You've got 10 seconds. And yes, we did 'take out' your blokes. It was hardly a fight.... 10."
