Heroica RPG - Quest #28: The Breakthrough

[Jebediahs]

OoC: LOL Om nom nom!

While Haldor and Jess kept the beast distracted, Nur retreated to a section of the room that was removed from the chaos. He pulled out his Scroll of Sealing and hoped he pronounced the words clearly enough for it to take effect on the Enchanted Bear Skin Rug.

OoC: I'm only trying it for one round so if it doesn't work then it's game on with the om nom nom! I'd also like to attack from the back with a spell if first sealing somehow hits if that is allowed.

[Brickdoctor]

"How much worse can my luck get?" I mumble to myself.

Slightly wary of the rug that has done such damage to the party already, I attack the Enchanted Bear Skin Rug from the Back Row with my Briar Bow.

Order of Actions:

1. Jess Islanti
   
2. Bartholomew Docken
   
3. En Sabah Nur
   
4. Lord Lawrence Boomingham
   
5. Haldor Skovgaard

[Waterbrick Down]

QM Note: I forgot last turn that Bartholomew shouldn't have been able to act because he was being pulled out, which then effects the special on himself and then Haldor among a slew of other things. As Docken was also being revived last round, I'm going to let it slide, though Haldor will not be able to attack on the same round he is being pulled out based upon the rules of the special from now on.

I'd also like to attack from the back with a spell if first sealing somehow hits if that is allowed.[/small][/color]

Yup, it's allowed since you're hastened

[Zepher]

Boomingham hefts his sword. "You're going in my inn room," Boomingham tells the rug as he swings at it, same weapon, same row. "Nur, if you wouldn't mind attacking this round when you can't be hurt, and sealing next round, where a miss won't result in damage to yourself, I think that would be optimal. Right, chappo?"

[Jebediahs]

Nur doesn't hear Boomingham's words.

OoC: With two swallowed, Nur would immediately seek to silence the enemy. After experiencing Boomingham's prowess with the shield, he's reluctant to trust it. If we'd wanted "optimal" Nur wouldn't be the only one using consumables this quest. My action is in. Next Round!

[Waterbrick Down]

Results of Round Four of the Battle with the Bear:

Jess Islanti Frees Haldor

>Bartholomew Docken vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Hit

>En Sabah Nur seals Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Sealed Not Sealed

>En Sabah Nur vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Special Damage Confuse

Lord Lawrence Boomingham vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Critical Hit

Haldor Skovgaard is freed by Jess

Jess dives in after Haldor and moments later carries the freed shaman back to the ranks of his Party. Docken, composure regained fires of a shot straight into the beast's eye causing to cry out in pain. Nur reading from his Scroll of Sealing deftly seals the beast on his first attempt! Adding insult to injury, Nur conjures the dust in the room to form a miniature sandstorm around the bear's head confusing it. Seeing an opening, Boomingham leaves a ragged tear in the beasts neck that sizzles with the heat from the fire elemental sword. Determined as ever the party continues their assault upon the possessed carpet.

Edited April 18, 2012 by Waterbrick Down

[Brickdoctor]

Smiling to myself with satisfaction as Jess pulls Haldor out of the rug and Nur Confuses and Seals it, I quickly turn my attention back to the rug which I continue to cautiously back away from. With practiced ease, as I back away to the Back Row, I nock an arrow on my Briar Bow and fire at the Enchanted Bear Skin Rug.

[Zepher]

"Look at that Nur. Good thing you didn't listen to a word I said!" Boomingham bellows with laughter. "No reason to not go again. Everyone feeling good? Good." Boomingham continues his attack.

[Scorpiox]

"Argh! I'm building a disike for living-and-consuming furniture, glad that we never had these back in the North. Thanks for getting me out there Jess, I don't know what state I would find myself in if you weren't there to look after my skin. Ha, same again everybody?

[Jebediahs]

Nur's nostrils flared at the singed fur. He spoke slower to compensate for the hastening effect. "Nice strike old man." The mage grinned a shaky smile. He was thankful the veteran warrior had gone so easy on him in the arena. "I will attack Enchanted Bear Skin Rug from the back row with earth spells!"

[Brickdoctor]

OoC: I could've sworn I already listed an order...

Order of Actions:

1. Bartholomew Docken
   
2. Lord Lawrence Boomingham
   
3. En Sabah Nur
   
4. Jess Islanti
   
5. Haldor Skovgaard

[Sisco]

"I know where it's sweet spot is... If only I could reach it..."

Jess will attack the Enchanted Rug from the Front Row.

[Waterbrick Down]

Results of Round Five of the Battle with the Bear:

>Bartholomew Docken vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Special Damage

Lord Lawrence Boomingham vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Defended Damage Strikes itself

>En Sabah Nur seals Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Special Damage Critical Hit

>En Sabah Nur vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Critical Hit Confuse

Jess Islanti vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Hit (No Assassination)

Haldor Skovgaard vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Extra Critical Hit

Bartholomew attempts another shot at the bear but it rears its paws preparing for a mighty strike, it stops short however as it discovers its sealed muzzle sparing Docken for the time being. Boomingham advances for a second thrust but is forced to back away as the bear swings its paws wildly around, tearing at its own eyes and mouth in its confused state. Nur with a grin on his face continues to pelt the pelt with deadly earthen spells as bricks and stones fly hither and thither accosting the rug in a deluge of gravel. Jess confident as ever avoiding the flying morter and the bear's thrashing claws, swoops in and leaves a firey gash upon the beasts upper shoulder. Haldor pleased to be out of the bear rains down an astounding blow upon the rug that would have slew a grown man.

QM Note: Party leader, as nothing has really changed, would you like me to run the next round? The only thing preventing me is Jess's low health, but as she wasn't concerned with it last round I doubt she will be this time.

[Sisco]

OoC: I'm not too concerned. If I'm KO'd, I'm KO'd. Play on, I say! Jess wants her first assassination!

[Zepher]

Boomingham stares at his allies as they dance around the rug fearlessly. This was a good group. He could tell.

"Into the fray once more, I say!" he calls excitedly. "I guess rugs are harder to kill than most beings. They lack vital organs to stab at..."

[Waterbrick Down]

QM Note: As Jess has indicated she will continue attacking, I will auto-play the next round.

Results of Round Six of the Battle with the Bear:

>Bartholomew Docken vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Special Damage

Lord Lawrence Boomingham vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Meditate

>En Sabah Nur seals Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Special Damage Critical Hit

>En Sabah Nur vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Confuse Hit

Jess Islanti vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Damage Damage's itself

Haldor Skovgaard vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Blood Ritual to Docken

Docken frustrated that he can't get a shot off again prepares to shoot the rug, but it again flails its arms around preventing Docken from an opening. Boomingham meditates upon whether the bear skin rug would look better in his parlor or his dining room and regains one ether though he is already at full. Nur lucky as ever continues to pour earthen magic down upon the beast as it steadily begins losing its strength. Jess with disregard for her own safety attempts to finish off the beast with one fell assassinating blow, but misjudges the beast in its confusion and is thrown by its thrashing paws against the side of the room where she lays knocked out. Haldor enraged at the falling of his lover pours forth his raw barbaric power sapping energy directly from the enchanted rug into Bartholomew Docken. With one Party member down but with their enemy at almost half its health, the Party continues their attack in an attempt to free the trapped mage within.

[Brickdoctor]

I mentally kick myself for not training to be a Druid, as I can't revive Jess. Focusing on the matter at hand, however, I fire on the Enchanted Bear Skin Rug with my Briar Bow, still slightly frightened by its whirling paws and acting from the Back Row.

Order of Actions:

1. Bartholomew Docken
   
2. Lord Lawrence Boomingham
   
3. En Sabah Nur
   
4. Haldor Skovgaard

[Zepher]

Barty hovers nervously near Jess' body.

"What are you doing, Lawrence?! Get her up!"

Boomingham looks calmly from the body to Docken, then at the body, then at Nur, and finally at Haldor.

"What do you think, Norseman? Will you be getting her up?"

"NO MAN LEFT BEHIND, LAWRENCE! Remember you have a duty to Ennoc." howls Barty.

"You don't understand combat at all, my little friend." Boomingham swings at the Bear Rug with the same weapon, same row. "Sometimes you just need to power through and hope for the best. Life is that way too."

"How beautiful," Barty says dryly.

[Jebediahs]

The rug struggled against the furniture on top of it as it tried to reach the heroes who had regrouped for a moment over its fallen member. "She said she'd found a vulnerable spot in our adversary that none of us had spotted. Must be those keen elven eyes. We'll continue to distract it to give you time, Haldor."

Leaving Haldor to tend to his elf, Nur followed the veteran fighters back to the rug where he prepared to throw more earth spells at it from the back row.

[Scorpiox]

"Jess! Arrgh! I'll get you for that, filthy rug. Haldor kicks the nearest heavy object at the rug, then hurries over to the injured Jess and cracks his Pheonix Esscence on the wall. Haldor kneels down and revives Jess with a fraught look on his face."Jess! Speak! Haldor shakes Jess gently, but there was no sign of movement, she had been badly hit. Haldor glared at the rug, before muttering 'nothing for it'. The Norseman kissed Jess on the lips, hoping this would wake her...

Edited April 19, 2012 by Scorpiox

[Sisco]

Jess awoke to the touch of Haldor's lips. Smiling, she rose up; then realized where she was. Shaking herself of her daze, Jess roared in anger and leaped toward the beastly rug.

Jess will attack the rug from the front row.

[Waterbrick Down]

QM Note: Alright, so since Haldor is reviving Jess and she will more than likely continue her attack I will put her at the end of the order and continue the battle, if anyone has a problem with this let me know and I will adjust accordingly.

Results of Round Seven of the Battle with the Bear:

>Bartholomew Docken vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Special Damage (Enemy is sealed)

Lord Lawrence Boomingham vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Special Damage (Enemy is Sealed)

>En Sabah Nur vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Magnetic Mojo Mirror Damage

>En Sabah Nur vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Hit Hit

Haldor Skovgaard Revives Jess with Phoenix Essence

Jess Islanti vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Hit (No Assassination)

Docken once again draws back his bow, but fails to find an opening for his arrow. Boomingham likewise, is unable to get in close enough to the flailing bear to land a strike. Nur fed up with the frenzied rug, unleashes a violent miniature earthquake that momentarily stuns the bear and in an interesting turn of events heave up a small amount of gold coins. The pause gives Nur enough time to fire off another earthen spell at the beast further lowering its stamina. At Haldor's kiss, Jess slowly opens her eyes revived and at full strength. Haldor aids the revived Jess to her feet as she once again picks up Blohdhurm and turns with a fiery passion upon the beast, scoring a direct hit above its left ear.

Haldor Skovgaard vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Extra Critical Hit

After thrashing for what seems like ages, Docken decides to wait and ensure that the bear will not start thrashing again preventing his shot. Boomingham convinced that the bear is down for the count at least for the moment, moves in and delivers a mighty slice to the rug's nape. Nur getting into a groove continues to pummel the rug with spells and stunning the bear all over again as more gold poors from its gaping jaws. With Jess safe, Haldor again cracks at the enchanted rug rending it near senseless in its already stunned state. Jess lands swiftly beside Haldor after her vengeful strike at the beast and is unable to land another hit for the time being.[/s]

QM Note: Again, as the bear is stunned and cannot act, I will auto play the next round.

Results of Round Nine of the Battle with the Bear:

>Bartholomew Docken vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Aura

Lord Lawrence Boomingham vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Critical Hit

>En Sabah Nur vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Critical Hit Confuse

>En Sabah Nur vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Mirror Damage Hit

Haldor Skovgaard vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Special Damage (Enemy is stunned)

Jess Islanti vs. Enchanted Bear Skin Rug - Damage (Enemy is stunned)

Seeing the bear beginning to rear its head again, Docken quickly positions himself to absorb any incoming attacks the next round. Boomingham understanding that the bear is beginning to regain consciousness also lands a mighty blow across the beasts muzzle. Nur is quickly running out of ammunition with which to pelt the rug and ponders upon the structural integrity of the building but not before releasing two more earthen spells which rain stone down upon the rug's back. Coughing from the dust and rubble flying through the air, Haldor and Jess are unable to land hits upon the bear in time, before it shakes its head from the gravel and debris letting forth a primordial roar.

THE BATTLE CONTINUES!

The Enemy:

Enchanted Bear Skin Rug

Type:

Beast

Level:

20

Health:

356/1250

Defense:

2

Special:

I. Maw of the Beast- The enchanted rug actually swallows its attacker. The Party member will remain there until the rug is defeated or another party member pulls them free, sacrificing both of their own turns to do so. Up to 3 members can be swallowed at a time. Swallowed players may not attack/heal while swallowed. However, swallowed players will take half the damage received by the rug while they are Swallowed (i.e. rug takes 30 damage, swallowed player(s) will take 15 damage).

II. Rage of the Beast - The enchanted rug does 15 damage to its attacker regardless of row and imparts the

Afraid

effect to its attacker.

*Special will alternate one after another.

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, heal or cast a magic spell, 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 have acted.

QM Note: This was a long round so do your best to ensure that something wasn't missed, if you want me to go back and change one of the rounds I can do so, if you think it is battle altering, but given the remaining health of the rug, I don't think there should be any problems.

OoC: MegaBloks, Nur is awesome!

My Aura doubles my current Health regardless of max HP, so for the next Round, my Health should be 78/39. Also, since I'll be taking all the Damage, I'm okay if you want to auto-play the next Round. Though I'm sure you're tired of rolling dice and calculating Damage right now.

Seeing the bear preparing to attack again, I allow my chivalric instincts to take over and prepare to absorb all Damage directed at the party. Crouching low behind my shield as I do this, I draw back my Briar Bow as best I can in my defensive posture from the Back Row and fire at the Enchanted Bear Skin Rug.

"Lets finish this monster," Boomingham says as he continues his attack.

[Sisco]

Jess grunted in frustration at the beast as she tried to get a sword in edgewise.

"Damn beast... If I could just get in right behind its head..." Jess mumbled to herself, shifting Blodhurm from right to left hand and back again as she prepared herself for another attack.
