Heroica RPG - Quest #27: Badger Badger Badger

[Khorne]

"Okay, I'll go for the light grey rat!" Eric said and took out Godricsleif. The sword hummed violently for some blood, even though it was only that of vermin. It's could touch would surely damage that rat.

Eric attacks the Light Grey Rat from the Front Row, using Godricsleif.

[Peppermint_M]

"I'll hit the Big Rat from the Front Row!"

Eric

Namyrra

Maurice

[Darkdragon]

The party readies to attack the mighty foes consisting of starved wet rats and a black snake. The Big Rat surprises Tesni by lunging at her and giving her a scratch for 10 damage, though she manages to counter the attack and do 14 damage to the creature. Eric relies on his quickness to get take out the Light Grey Rat with one strike of Godricsleif, sending the poor creature's body accross the slimy ground and into the darkness. Namyrra shoots a stream of ice out at Sewer Snake obliterating it into a fine mist of crystalized snake dust. Maurice swings at the Brown Rat but mis-judges the distance due to the darkness and misses. The Dark Grey Rat take the opportunity to attack the nearest enemy and manages to sink it's dirty teath into Tesni's ankle, doing 5 damage and poisoning the warrior.

"Foul vermin! Again!"

Same order.

[Etzel]

"Not this again! I thought I was over with misses. Ah well, I'll try again, same target, same row."

[Khorne]

Eric grinned as his greatsword took the critter's life in one hit. He readied his weapon for another strike.

Eric will attack the Dark Grey Rat from the front row.

[Quarryman]

"Right, another ice spell at the Brown rat this time, from the back row."

[Darkdragon]

The second round begins with Tesni splattering the Big Rat into rat sauce. Eric is up next, but the clever rat manages to duck under his swing and give him a nasty Foul Bite for 10 damage and poison. Namyrra works up another ice spell but the Brown Rat scratches her for 5 points of damage, breaking her concentration. Seeing his comrades (and Eric) in pain, Maurice manages a Miracle and heals all allies to full health.

Eric takes one damage each from the poisoning.

"Argh! Filthy vermin! Another ice spell at the Brown rat from the back row!"

[Peppermint_M]

"Have at thee dark grey rat! From the front row."

Same order

[Etzel]

"I'll attack the Brown rat again, from the front row."

OoC: The big rat is gone right? And Eric should still be poisoned and -1 health (healing does not take away bad effects).

[Khorne]

Eric attacks the brown rat from the front row, still using his sword.

Results of Round Three

Tesni vs. Dark Grey Rat - Defended Counter

Eric vs. Brown Rat - Special Damage

Namyrra vs. Brown Rat - Special Damage

Maurice vs. Brown Rat - Critical Hit

The Dark Grey Rat attaks Tesni but she swipes it away with her sword, nearly killing it. The Brown Rat digs its rotten teeth into Eric again as it uses him as a springboard to jump onto Namyrra and give her a Foul Bite, but since Eric was already poisoned it has no extra effect on him. Maurice doesn't take kindly to this action and manages to hit the rat square on the head with his mace.

Eric and Namyrra take one damage each from the poisoning.

1 Gold

Venom - Use on a weapon to make it cause a poisoned-effect on any enemy it hits for the duration of one battle. A poisoned enemy loses 1 health each turn.

edit to correct health stats. :/

[Peppermint_M]

"Well, shall we share out the loot? Who knows what rats are doing with 1 gold."

Tesni checks to see how much time the battle took.

"Cleric Ratibor, would you use the torch to check if we have further passages and options?"

[Etzel]

"Cleric Ratibor, would you use the torch to check if we have further passages and options?"

"Sure, I'll check."

Maurice sweeps his torch around to see what options are available for the party.

[Darkdragon]

With the battle over and the loot dealt with, Tesni reaches into her pack to pull out the Timekeeper. Just as she reaches for it she hears a "Bing Bong Bing Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding" and then silence. When she looks at the face of the tablet she sees the numbers 07:00 appear.

Maurice heads down the long hallway with the torch, just as it looks like a dead end he sees two new paths that branch off in different directions. One heads North and one heads East.

What will the party do now?

[Quarryman]

"Well, I don't think any of the items these filthy creatures dropped are particularly useful, so however Tesni feels they can be distributed is fine by me."

[Peppermint_M]

"Alright then, I'll take the venom, Cleric Ratibor, you can have the bone as you carry the important items I am sure something to distract an attack could come in handy. I will hold onto this coin and add it to our total when we devide it or if we get more odd drops like this."

Tesni looked around at the two tunnesl

"I can see markings on the wall, we'll follow that one."

[Darkdragon]

The party heads to the wall but the symbol is not the same as the previous symbol. Maurice shines the torch on it to get a better view.

Facing the symbol, the party can see a hall to the left of it and one behind them.

Which way will they go?

[Peppermint_M]

"To the left we shall go, onwards!"

[Quarryman]

"To the left we shall go, onwards!"

"Just a moment Tesni, I'd like to test something first." Namyrra then proceeds to cast an Earth spell at the symbol on the wall.

[Peppermint_M]

"Interesting, are you expecting it to react? I the first one was unfamilar to you?" Tesni watched, curious at the magic she had never really had any affinity for.

[Quarryman]

"Interesting, are you expecting it to react? I the first one was unfamilar to you?" Tesni watched, curious at the magic she had never really had any affinity for.

"Not sure, but the wall behind it looked sufficiently different from the wall on the sides that I wanted to see if throwing a spell at it could have an effect. Probably just silly of me though. "

[Darkdragon]

The spell smashes into the wall, sending chunks of damp brick everywhere. When the air finally clears there is enough damage to the wall that the symbol is destroyed. The wall doesn't seem to be in any danger of collapse though and the party continues to the left.

Only a few short steps and they hit a wall, there is another path to the left and Maurice shines the torch down it to see that it ends abruptly. The light seems to bounce around off the walls in this tight room, and there is a dusty crate at the end of the hall with a lid on it.

What will the party do?

[Peppermint_M]

"Anyone have anything to check for traps? Well done on that Namyrra, lets see what we get from this box!"
