Heroica RPG - Quest #26: Quarry Clean Up

[JimBee]

Hybros turns to the Frost Dragonet and attacks it from the front row. So much for luck.

[Scubacarrot]

Guts let out a short laugh after sinking his blade in the young dragon, this was what he was here for, this was battle!

Guts jumped back, and once again attacked the Flame Dragonet from the front row.

[Bricksandparts]

Johon attacks Dragonet (Frost) from the front row with my sword of decay.

[Scubacarrot]

"..."

Bioniclover doesnt seem to be around, I suggest same battle order, knifk attacks front row, bard does luck song, if he doesn't check in

[JimBee]

Agreed. It's been over 24 hours. Knifk should attack the lightning dragonet.

[Xarrzan]

Singerson threw a gold coin into the air, spun in a circle three times, then caught the coin right when the third spin was completed. Must be because he is playing Lady Luck's Lure...

Results of Round Two of the Dragonets Battle:

Knifk vs. Dragonet (Lightning) - Critical Hit/Shield

Hybros vs. Dragonet (Frost) - Miss/Hit ..................[(10 + 15) * 2) * 2 = 100]

Hybros vs. Dragonet (Frost) - Critical Hit/Special ...[((10 *2) + 15) * 2) * 2 = 140]

Guts vs. Dragonet (Flame) - Shield/Critical Hit .......[((8*3) + 12)*2 = 72]

Johon vs. Dragonet (Frost) - Critical Hit/Special .....[((7*3) + 14)*2 = 70]

>Elgar -

The battle against the Dragonets continued. Knifk took the Sentinel position to prevent damage to the team for the next round. Hybros faked like he missed his attack then sliced the icy Dragonet for 100 damage, ending its life without pain. The lightning Dragonet moved in to avenge it's sister but was slashed by Hybros' critical strike of 140 damage, ending it's life as well. Guts' keen eye saw further gold glitering on the burning Dragonet and dealt 72 damage to the Dragonet. Once the beast stopped burning, and breathing, Guts was able to take his time and pick off the 72 gold coins stuck in the Dragonet's scales. Seeing all the enemies dead, Johon decided to smash the frost Dragonet for good measure for 70 damage. Elgar unthawed. Hybros took 1 point of damage from the flames that were burning him. The team focused on the close battle and forgot about the dragon's fire ball which hit Johon for 3 damage and ignited him.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!

Knifk, Hybros, Johon and Elgar each gain a level of experience. Guts gains a half level of experience. The enemies drop a fire bomb, an ice bomb and a lightning bomb.

Ice Bomb - Causes 5 points of ice-elemental damage to all enemies, doubled if the target is weak to ice.

Lightning Bomb - Causes 5 points of lightning-elemental damage to all enemies, doubled if the target is weak to lightning.

The Ancient Dragon roared its fury and launched itself back into the air. It looked a bit healthier than before it landed on the ledge. The dragon circled high above, waiting for the right opportunity to attack the party...

"You did it! And that dragon is having a fit! Get ready for it's next attack. It looks real mad."

Party leader, inform Singerson when you are ready for the next battle.

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: I suppose I can't make/use any real traps or such?

[JimBee]

The quick victory was satisfying to say the least. To prepare for the next battle, Hybros first downed a potion and then another set of Smelling Salts, Mead, and Nostrum. He fell to his knees at the effects, with the previous drinks just barely wearing off. He never drank the human beverages that seemed to delight them so, tempt them into drunken stupors, and perhaps he would need to cut back on these enhancing drinks before he got sick...

[Xarrzan]

OoC: I suppose I can't make/use any real traps or such?

Johon searches for materials to make a sufficient trap from but all he finds are rocks which are too heavy to move. The dragon descends ever so slowly, waiting for an opportunity or distracted player to spring it's attack.

[Scubacarrot]

Guts stepped down from the young dragon he killed. It had been some time since he had last felt this kind of rush during battle. Keeping one eye on the dragon circling above, Guts downed another Mead.

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar steadied his crossbow, now sweating he readied his attack. " Hopefully we can beat the dragon this time around!" Elgar shouted

[Bioniclover]

OOC: Sorry for missing that last one. There's this thing called real life that got in my way.

IC: Knifk hands Elgar a Fire Bomb, Guts a Ice Bomb, and Hybros a Lightning Bomb. He then signals to Singerson that he was ready to begin the battle.

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar took the fire bomb and pocketed it thanking Kinfk for the fire bomb.

Elgar shouted at the dragon "earlier I said If you struck me down I would be more powerful"

A voice at the top of the quarry shouted "No you didn't"

Elgar replied "well I thought I did"

The voice replied " well you didn't and you copied Obi wan Kenobi"

"Whose Obi wan Kenobi ?

sorry 4th wall

Elgar still readied his crossbow, his hands sweating his hat has almost fallen of his head, he was now concentrating prepared to fight"

[Bricksandparts]

Johon readies his Sword of Decay and waits for the dragon to approach.

[Xarrzan]

The dragon swooped down onto the party. It blasted fire at them but they scattered at the last minute. The Ancient dragon realized it must battle again on the ground but this time it would use a more physical tactic.

"The first time it fought it was lazy since it just woke up. Now it is going to use it's natural brute strength. This is a common tactic for dragons," said Singerson.

Party Leader, choose the order of action.

All of you, choose your targets and the row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee or if you want to use an item instead of attacking.

Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone has acted.

[Bricksandparts]

"Everyone, concentrate your attacks on the head! Knifk, you try and defend us from damage and go first, I'll attack the head from the front row with my Sword of Decay!"

[JimBee]

"Everyone, concentrate your attacks on the head! Knifk, you try and defend us from damage and go first, I'll attack the head from the front row with my Sword of Decay!"

"Sounds foolish to me... who will take care of the other body parts to prevent them from hitting us? No, I'll attack the left claw." Hybros brandishes Zoot's Reaper and attacks from the front row with both of his turns.

[Bricksandparts]

"Sounds foolish to me... who will take care of the other body parts to prevent them from hitting us? No, I'll attack the left claw." Hybros brandishes Zoot's Reaper and attacks from the front row with both of his turns.

"It is more worth it to take hits than it to create other unwanted effects!"

[JimBee]

Hybros considered Alf's strategy for a moment. He was right, perhaps if they focused on the head the battle would be easier. "Maybe if the bard sung Fastest Flight we could all target the head with one turn, and another body part with another... or focus all of our strength on the head in hopes of defeating it right away, hehe... What do you think, Knifk?"

Hybros attacks the left claw and then the head of the dragon with Zoot's Reaper, from the front row. If Knifk wishes it, Hybros will attack the head with both turns instead.

[Scubacarrot]

"Hmpf, it's all or nothing, Knifk, Have the bard sing his lucky song!We should be able to take the head out in the first go!"

Guts readies himself to attack the Head from the front row.

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar attacks the head from the back row. "we can beat it"

[Xarrzan]

"Sounds like everyone wants to attack the head, you'll have to have a lot of luck...or speed...or lucky speed," laughed Singerson. "Whats the consensus on the song?"

[Scubacarrot]

"Luck is our best bet. I'm not trying to be funny, there."

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: I think that if Bioniclelover doesn't show, we all agree that he'll attack the head from the front row with the luck song.

[Bioniclover]

Knifk attacks the head and right claw.
