Pandora Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Nyx listens, blood still oozing. She sees such bravery, but she knows that throwing herself into the fray at this point won't gain anything. She must come back into this battle at full force. Once more she attempts to dig deep from her remaining strength to hit herself with her Healing Staff, hoping to hell that somehow she can regain her strength and that her comrades survive the next round of strikes.

Zepher Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Market Invasion Round Four Atramor Gibbin seals Lyons - No Seal Nyx v. Nyx - Special Damage No Heal ( ) Tarn v. Lyons - Miss Phil v. Lyons - Critical Hit William Harkenshire v. Lyons - Damage William Harkenshire v. Rogue Lion Knight Commander A - Hit Thothwick v. Rogue Lion Knight Commander B - Miss The battle continues. Atramor unfurls his scroll, but the words that he has chanted so many times at this point will not come to him as his eyes and head scream in protest. Nyx leans on her staff and pants. She watches as XX gives her a disappointed look and walks off from the marketplace in the direction of the prison. Tarn swings at Lyons and misses as the older lieutenant ducks and weaves right into Phil's hammer (-[([15x2]+20)-10]=40). Harkenshire prepares to capitalize on Lyons' weakness, but Lyons gives a fierce cry and thrusts his crude sword through the Ranger's chest. Blood explodes out the other side, and as Lyons withdraws the sword, William falls face first into a puddle of his own blood. Thothwick gasps to his his friend so brutally brought down. The Enemies Lyons Level 24 Humanoid Health: 162/475 SP: 10 Special: Lion's Roar - Lyons hacks at his enemy, dealing them 24 damage. The attack is so forceful that he stuns the target and encourages all his allies.

Critical Hit – Attacks with WPx2 + Lvl "Ho ho ho! You'll run out of those essences soon enough, and then you all will fall permanently. You are seeing the might of the Lion Knights! Ho ho ho! I am mighty!!" Edited July 12, 2012 by Zepher Quote
Rumble Strike Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 "Now's really not a good time to mess up the Sealing spell, Atramor! Gods know, you've had enough practice! And Nyx, my dear, you absolutely walloped me with that healing staff, give yourself the biggest hit you can manage!" Tarn tried to inject some levity ino his voice but seeing William crumple to the ground for a second time affected him. He knew that could be any of them, with their health so low. Part of him was telling himself to play it safe from the back row, to think of the long game, but the fire in his blood was raging, and he was not going to back down now. He was about to attack one of the Commanders but Lyons' mocking laughter echoed in his head and he was not going to turn away from the burly Knight. "You'll need more than a Phoenix Essence when I'm finished wiping your bloody remains off my axe, Lyons!" he bellowed, taking him on from the front row. I think I finally worked out what Tarn will be as an advanced class Quote
CMP Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Atramor's own rage was bubbling, but it was nothing compared to Tarn's fury as he hewed at Lyons with all his strength. He cast an eye at the bleeding William and grumbled as he again attempted to Seal Lyons from the back row. "Nyx, this is a lot to ask, but if you use your Dragon Scale on me, I won't have a problem healin' ya'll. Or at least use it on yourself so ya' can land a hit."

Zepher Posted July 13, 2012 Author Posted July 13, 2012 OoC: Sorry, I'm waiting on Nyx, her move her is important, and she's got a few options. Quote
CMP Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 You can assume she hits herself with the Healing Staff again, I guess. No chance of her being harmed and she's not losing out on any consumables, so... Quote
Rumble Strike Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) I am worried we are missing a trick by not reviving William. Also we are leaving one of the commanders with a free hit - madness when we are all so low on health. Despite Tarn's awesome role playing characterisation seen above, I am happy to either use my Phoenix Essense on William, or target the other Commander. Edited July 14, 2012 by Rumble Strike Quote
Pandora Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Nyx sees XX as he walks towards the prison, knowing that that meant that bigger trouble was coming. The look of disappointment was unbearable; she'd hit so many things before, why couldn't she hit herself? "I think we'll have bigger fish to fry than this old fool in the not too distant future, and we've made headway, sort of." Nyx wheezes "Tarn, could you redirect your wrath to the other Commander, as taking a free hit from him will surely kill me if my luck continues in this vein. I have to have hope that we can turn this battle around. We're better than this, together. We've shown so many times before what we can accomplish as a team. We can do this, I believe we can. We have time yet to revive William, he should share in all that we learn from this fight." Nyx closes her eyes, breathing deeply and wincing with the effort, once more preparing to strike herself with her Healing Staff and hoping that fate will look kindly on her. OoC Really sorry guys, thought I'd posted when I hadn't. Quote
Rumble Strike Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 "Your end will come by my blade, Lyons, just not quite yet!" spoke Tarn, more in control of his rage for the moment. He looks across and takes on Rogue Lion Commander A from the front row. Quote
Zepher Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 Market Invasion Round Five Nyx v. Nyx - Special Damage No Heal Atramor Gibbin seals Lyons - Miss No Seal Phil v. Lyons - Hit Tarn Valco v. Rogue Lion Knight Commander A - Hit Thothwick v. Rogue Lion Knight Commander B - Miss The battle continues. Nyx drops her staff to the ground and tumbles forward, landing on her knees. Atramor glances over and his spell dies as he looks at his once strong friend on the ground. Lyons chuckles at the two of them, and Phil chuckle right back as he rams his hammer into his enemy (35-10). Tarn howls with power and slices off Commander A's leg. The Commander bleeds out in within the minute. Thothwick swings his sabre, but the carnage all around him breaks his concentration. The Enemies Lyons Level 24 Humanoid Health: 137/475 SP: 10 Special: Lion's Roar - Lyons hacks at his enemy, dealing them 24 damage. The attack is so forceful that he stuns the target and encourages all his allies.

Critical Hit – Attacks with WPx2 + Lvl "We have come down to the end of this heroes. Ho ho ho! This is real combat! This is real valor! This is real might! These are the true Lions of Dastan!!" Quote
Rumble Strike Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Tarn felt better once they only faced two enemies, but knew that without healing any of them could fall with any successful attack against them. It was a shame Nyx had not used her Dragon Scale earlier to help counter her appallingly bad run of luck, but hopefully now the tide of battle had turned in their favour. "Now might be a good time to revive Mr Harkenshire!" he called to his comrades. He knew that most of them carried Phoenix Essences, but really wanted to shut Lyons up. He held Helbaerend up high, the gems embued in its hilt sparkling. "This certainly has been a battle, Lyons, but your Lion Knights are falling, and soon, you will join them. I don't believe you to be true Lions of Dastan, you are trying too hard to convince us of that fact, but know this; we are true heroes of Heroica, and your time is at an end!" Tarn runs at Lyons, attacking from the front row. Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 "Is this it? Has Orang Pendek forsaken me? Hmm..." "I shall attack Rogue Lion Knight Commander B from the front row, with my sabre. I shall post the battle order, once we have decided upon whether or not to revive Mr. Harkenshire." Quote
CMP Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Atramor nearly tears the scroll in half out of frustration. Now it decided to not work? He spat at the ground in disappointment, emptying the Phoenix Essence into the downed William's mouth. Edited July 15, 2012 by CallMePie Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Upon being revived, William once again frantically pantomimed his attack. "It would appear that Mr. Harkenshire... wants to attack from the back row... using his repeating crossbow... against Lyons and Rogue Lion Knight Commander B? I think. I really was terribly fond of charades in my youth, but it would transpire that my skills have become lax of late." Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 "Don't forget the battle order, mate." OoC: Battle Order Atramor Gibbin Nyx Thothwick William Harkenshire William Harkenshire Tarn Phil Quote
Pandora Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 The frustration and anger well up, swirling into a maelstrom of ire, causing Nyx to issue a roar of pure emotion, cursing the fates that have left her so weak. She knows her time is being wasted, that there will be greater battles to face where her items will be of more use, and if she could only get this damn staff to work she could finish off these puppets and worry about the bigger threats. Luck, stupid dumb luck. She and her team could easily cut this fool down, but luck had so far decided to work against them. At least Atramor was tending to Will, and if he hadn't she would have. Luck and fate can't interfere in the purity of a Phoenix Essence, thank.... whatever. A thought occurs to her. Something that might help, and so might change her luck. Summoning all of her strength, she aims her Healing Staff at Tarn, whose bravery continued to drive the battle. Quote
Rumble Strike Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 "Gratitude, Nyx, but I shall fall regardless of health if Lyons hits me with his blade. Mr Thothwick would be a better choice at this time." Quote
Pandora Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Nyx hears Tarns words and hears the blunt truth in them. She eyes the Metasimian thoughtfully, as if focusing her energy, and changes the swing of her Healing Staff to connect with Thothwick, still hoping it will do some good. Quote
Zepher Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Market Invasion Round Six Atramor Gibbin - Phoenix Essence on Harkenshire Nyx v. Thothwick - Shield (Better luck?) (No Summon) Thothwick v. Rogue Lion Knight Commander B - Miss William Harkenshire v. Lyons - Hit William Harkenshire v. Rogue Lion Knight Commander B - Special Damage Tarn v. Lyons - Miss Phil v. Lyons - Shield The battle continues. Atramor revives the fallen Ranger, Harkenshire, who scrambles to his feet and begins to load his crossbow. Nyx lurches over to Thothwich and rams the healing staff into him. For the second time, her angry energy bubbles forth with it and while Thothwick is healed, he also feels electricity shoot through his body and fry him. Thothwick collapses onto the floor, regaining his composure. Harkenshire spins around and fires off a bolt at the Commander, which the Commander dodges, and a bolt at Lyons that clangs against his helmet (-[19-10]=9). The Commander cries out support for Lyons, who laughs as he dodges Tarn once more. Phil grins as the bulky commander once more flies into his range, and his hammer's head soars through the air, pounding into Lyons and denting his armor (128/2=64). The Enemies Lyons Level 24 48 Humanoid *Encouraged* Health: 62/475 SP: 10 Special: Lion's Roar - Lyons hacks at his enemy, dealing them 24 damage.

Rumble Strike Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 The Shield roll should overwrite Nyx using the healing staff and become the Battle Mage special, not sure if you did that? Tarn knows that he is riding his luck and that soon Lyons will land a devastating hit on him, but undettered, he once again attackedLyons from the front row. "Let us worry about that after we have defeated you and your vaunted Lion Knights. All I want right now is to smash your self-righteous face in!" Quote
CMP Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 "Nyx, give Phil a good bash, I'll see if I'll have better luck healin' ya'." Atramor's lost most of his faith in his healing abilities at this point, after so many repeated failures, but nonetheless attempts to heal Nyx, hands dimly glowing orange. McCafferey rolls her eyes at Lyons' boasting despite her love of conflict, hoping to get a glimpse of his Lion's Roar merely to see the carnage. Quote
Pandora Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 "Sheesh, sorry Thothy, an undesirable side effect. I'm really sorry. " Nyx sighs; her magic isn't designed for defense, but this was necessary and at least the strike had hit home. She focuses, trying to keep the offensive side of her magics quiet and aims her Healing Staff at Phil. "Atters, I'm grateful for your healing attempt. I hope your luck's better than mine." Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Thothwick winces repeatedly in pain from the electric shock. "Sheesh, sorry Thothy, an undesirable side effect. I'm really sorry. " "P- perfectly forgiveable, Ms. Nyx; I- I'm positive it was un- unintentional, and I shall hold n- no ill will towards you. I appreciate the ef-effort! I shall at- attack Rogue Lion Commander B, from the back row." William gestures once again, this time contorting his entire upper body to indicate his attack. "Mr. Harkenshire intends to repeat his at- attack!" Battle Order Nyx Atramor Gibbin Thothwick William Harkenshire William Harkenshire Tarn Valco Phil Quote
