Heroica RPG - Quest #30: Ambassadors to Dastan

[Fugazi]

"I guess that one of us should still target the Chimera even if they won't be able to hurt it. Better than getting hit twice, right?"

[Professor Flitwick]

"I am at full health, so I have no fear of being the sole attacker against the Chimera. Unless, of course, any of you disagree with that."

[Fugazi]

"I am at full health, so I have no fear of being the sole attacker against the Chimera. Unless, of course, any of you disagree with that."

"Given that you are Lucky, you should hopefully be able to pull it off without a scratch.

Skrall, would you like me to take care of the Mist instead? I'm Lucky too, so I might have a better chance at hitting without causing it to protect the Chimera."

[Professor Flitwick]

"Very good. I shall attack the Chimera, from the front row, with my Sabre!"

[Dharkan]

Attacking chimera from front row.

[CorneliusMurdock]

Grr. Cronk not like Chimera. Cronk will heal Cronk from back row.

[Zepher]

OoC: Correct. If the Chimera is not targetted, it gets its "granted" free hit and its normal mechanics free hit.

[Zepher]

Round 5 Chimera Battle

Cronk heals himself - Heal

Skrall uses a potion on Cronk

Thothwick v. Chimera - Hit Special Damage

Galen v. Mist - Miss Special Damage

Isabella v. Chimera - Hit Miss

Vipera v. Mist - Special Damage

William v. Mist - Special Damage

William v. Mist - Damage

Chimera v. Cronk (-[26-9]/2=9)

The battle continues. Cronk heals himself (+32). Skrall uncorks a potion and and gives it to Cronk, who downs it just for the taste. Thothwick slashes at the Chimera, but the Mist absorbs the attack (-25). Galen is unable to hit the mist, and Isabella's jab at the Chimera is cut short by a layer of frost that she hits instead (-20). Vipera and William are thrown back by an explosion of ice shards that throw them backwards as the mist coils even more tightly around the Chimera. The Mist then lunges out and slams into William as he tries to get to his feet, tossing him into the air. He lands with a thud on the frozen ground (-[14/2]=7). As the poison eats away at the Chimera (-10) it shoots a blast of snow filled air that rains down on Cronk, freezing his joints (-17). Skrall and Isabella are healed thanks to their blessings (+3) and the Chimera grows once more in strength.

[Professor Flitwick]

"Blast this mist! I shall reattempt to attack the Chimera, from the front row, with my Sabre!"

[Fugazi]

"We're almost there!"

Galen attacks the Chimera's Mist from the back row with the Sword of Bashing.

[Dharkan]

Attacking Chimera from front row.

[Waterbrick Down]

OoC: I'm going to assume the Skeleton Decoy will absorb damage as if it were in the front row, but I want to Skrall to stay in the back row to avoid the Chimera's special.

"Alrighty, no one else do a thing, chargin' at that mist will do more harm than good. Cronk go ahead and heal yerself again from the back row for the moment, everyone else hang back." Skrall pulls out his Skeleton Decoy and uses it from the back row.

Battle Order:

Skrall

Cronk

Galen

Thothwick

Everyone else sit out this round

[Zepher]

OoC: It will. Should I just assume that VP would stand in the back row, and run the round? It may (slim chance) matter which row he chooses to do nothing in.

[Waterbrick Down]

OoC: Go ahead and run it.

<Vipera, keep to the back for now, lay low and don't attack.>

Round 6 Chimera Battle

Skrall uses Skeleton Decoy

Cronk heals himself - Shield

Galen v. Mist - Special Damage Critical Hit

Thothwick v. Chimera - Miss Special Damage II

Isabella v. Chimera - Special Damage II Critical Hit

Chimera v. Skrall Skeleton Decoy (27-20=7)

Chimera v. Skrall (7/2=4)

The battle continues. Skrall tosses out his Skeleton Decoy as Cronk calls to his guardian angel for protection the next round. Galen swings his sword at the Mist, but because the Mist is Ice and the Sword is an Ice Elemental, nothing happens. Isabella has better luck, slicing through the Mist enough to clear a path to the Chimera for the next round (-[8x2]+11=27). Thothwick is unable to get in close enough as the Mist billows away. The Chimera blasts Skrall with icy wind, but the decoy blocks most of the blast before shattering. Skrall's health regenerates (+3) as the Chimera's poison eats away at her, even as she grows even larger.

"Well beastie it's been fun." Skrall draws the Greatsword of Lion Nobles and charges at the Chimera from the Front Row.

[Professor Flitwick]

"Goodness gracious me, this confounded mist is thicker than hide of the beast it shrouds! Hopefully Orang Pendek shall prevent me from missing thrice, as I try to once more attack the Chimera, from the front row, with my Sabre!"

[Fred Daniel Yam]

"Let's have a go at it!!!" William levels his crossbow and shoots two shots at the Chimera.

[Fugazi]

Galen swings his sword at the Mist, but because the Mist is Ice and the Sword is an Ice Elemental, nothing happens.

Doh!

Galen retrieves his throwing dagger from the battlefield.

[Dharkan]

"Lets end it for once and all!"

Attacking Chimera from front row.

[CorneliusMurdock]

Hello Cronk's angel!

Cronk will bash Chimera from front row.

[Zepher]

Round 7 Chimera Battle

Cronk v. Chimera - Damage

Skrall v. Chimera - Hit Hit

Vipera v. Chimera Mist - Special Damage

Thothwick v. Chimera Mist - Miss Damage

Galen retrieves his dagger

Isabella v. Chimera Mist - Hit Hit

William v. Chimera Mist - Critical Hit

William v. Chimera Mist - Shield

The battle continues. Cronk's Angel flies in the way of a frosty breath and absorbs all the frost. Skrall throws himself at the Chimera, who lowers her maw to meet him. Skrall raises his sword and slashes as he enters the mouth. Skrall pierces through the Chimera's head and soars out the other side and the great beast topples and turns to ice particles immediately. The Mist dodges out of the way as Vipera shoots her flames at it. Thothwick also finds the Mist hard to hit, and Galen bounds into it to retrieve his dagger. Isabella swipes at the Mist (-20). William, the ever powerful ranger, fires four shots into the mist (-([5x2]+14)x2=48) (-([5x3]+14)x2=58) (-([5x3]+14)x2=58) (-([5x3]+14)x2=58).

"Cronk, if ya'd be so kind to patch up Harkenshire, the rest of us will finish off this soddin' mist." Skrall unsheathes his Greatsword striding into the mist flailing around from the front row.

OoC: Sorry Skrall, you're slowed.

[Waterbrick Down]

OoC: I figured that, but I wasn't sure as it said he fired a bolt through the chimera, I wanted a decapitation.

Skrall continues to flail the greatsword but he is too exhausted from his slaying of the Chimera to do any good.
