Heroica RPG - Quest #30: Ambassadors to Dastan

[Brickdoctor]

Should my stats (power, health, ether) be increased as well? It's fair to me if it lasts for only a battle, but obviously I'm going to be biased. Your call.

QM Note:

Yeah, I forgot about those. I'll fix them.

[Pandora]

A beautific smile crosses Nyx's face as many things and people blow up thanks to the bomb, and the best thing was that nobody fighting with her was harmed. Perfect. Almost drawn by his own handiwork, a familiar face appears in the Throne Room, and the smile fades fast.

"Nyx, you wanna get Loren? He's in the back row, he can only deal half damage to you, but you can deal full to him."

"No. I'm after XX"

Nyx once more draws on the power of Darkness and aims it squarely at XX through her book from the back row.

[Tanma]

IC: De'kra clicked, "If mage target XX, I will switch I target to Loren. Someone need to try to stop he from leave and emperor."

OOC: he is still going to attack from the front row with Kapura no matter what, this will only affect target.

[Xarrzan]

Sarick followed right behind to head into the throne room.

[CorneliusMurdock]

Cronk will bash Chaos Beast B twice from front row.

[Chromeknight]

Denarii loved the high ceilings of the palace. Almost as good as being outside. Flying up high, none of the guards could harm her and she could choose the moment to swoop. Picking out one of the guards she sliced down, stone dagger in hand to catch him unawares on his exposed neck.

Denarii attacks guard E with stone dagger from front row.

Nerwen is determined to do better with her hammer, shifting her grip and looking for the right moment to step in.

Nerwen attacks guard F with hammer from front row.

[Zepher]

OoC: We're trying to make this process tighter so you can all get back to the Hall and start on all the wonderful new Quests up! So, we may start running a little under 24 hours... also, we need to shift the time of updates so they stop being at 5 AM and I can actually help the others.

Results of Round Seventeen of the Battle for Dastan:

Heroes in the Throne Room:

Alexandre le Chevalier v. Lord Lucan - Hit (21)

Nyx v. XX - Shield Hit(SUMMON!!!!!!!!!) (([([13x3]+20)x2]x2)=236] (Check if this is right with your new ability... if so, your shield is no longer underpowered!!)

Tarn Valco - Remedy on Atramor

Tarn Valco v. XX - Special Damage

Atramor Gibbin vs. Sir Lamorak - Special Damage (I'm going to not have Atramor also call a Lion Knight Commander... for obvious reasons...)

Luke heals Knyghton - No Heal

Count Lewis Knyghton v. Rogue Lion Pikeman A - Shield (15/2=8)

De'kra v. Loren - Special Damage

Heroes in the East Corridor (First Floor):

Cronk vs. Chaos Beast of Dastan B - Hit (33-5=28)

Cronk vs. Chaos Beast of Dastan B - Special Damage (2) (30-9=21)

Arthur Justus Regulus VII uses a Scroll of Sleep on Chaos Beast of Dastan A - Fails

Heroes in the West Corridor (First Floor):

Denerii v. Imperial Guard E - Miss

Xander Unth'or v. Heavy Elite Guard C - Miss Hit (24-3=21)

Isabella del Toboso v. Imperial Guard C - Critical Hit Critical Hit (([8x2]+12)-1=20)

Nerwen Calmcacil v. Imperial Guard F - Miss

Heroes in the Great Hall:

Sarick Lanse moves to Throne Room

Skrall moves to Throne Room

Free Hits:

Throne Room Free Hits - Sentinel

Imperial Guard A v. Denerii - Invulnerable

Effects:

Poisoned - Imperial Guard A, C, E, F; Heavy Elite C; Sir Lamarok (-1)

Badly Poisoned - XX (-10)

Burned - Tarn (-2)

The heroes rally behind Alexandre's shield and rain down hits against their enemies, who use this break to rally themselves and deal a different sort of damage on their enemies. As Edgar crawls out of his book and Nyx slams an outrageously strong spell into XX, XX burns Tarn and Lamorak calls forth a new Lion Commander. The Chaos Beast beats back Cronk. The heroes in the West Corridor seem unable to land hits, and the mutltitude of different burns and poisons take their effects.

OoC: My vacation wifi is subpar to say the best, and is not allowing me to upload photos, so you know, view the above photos, but PRETEND Skrall and Sarick are in the throne room, and the number of Commanders has been upped by one.

Just kidding, fixed.

OoC: Tell me what's wrong, and get those actions in fast so you can all leave Dastan (in pieces or not in pieces is up to the die... )

Edited August 8, 2012 by Zepher

[Waterbrick Down]

OoC: Scratch that, you already posted and everything is as I would have done it, did you roll for Isabella's lucky status?

Skrall joined the group of heroes taking care not to step on what looked like a summoned spider, "Good day to you all. I hoped you saved some for me and Sarick. Mr. Alexandre, good to see you still kickin', if ya don't mind me sayin' so, I think ya'd best be suited keepin' that XX chap busy from the back row, while Ms. Nyx sets about to knockin' the blocks off of the rest of the company. Now let's see..." before Skrall can decide upon a target, he spots aspies Sir Lamorak calling another Lion Commander in, "Well we don't want ya callin' for any more help, now do we?" Skrall mumbles to himself before quickly unholstering his Hunter's Crossbow and firing a shot off at the knight from the back row.

Edited August 8, 2012 by Waterbrick Down

[CMP]

Atramor Gibbin vs. Sir Lamorak - Special Damage (I'm going to not have Atramor also call a Lion Knight Commander... for obvious reasons...)

Why do you think I targeted him? It makes sense to me, but if I'm unable to copy the special damage, could I at least prevent the special from taking place? Also, I don't think Tarn can take damage from the burn because Sentinel is in place, but I'm fairly sure he can next round.

"...Alright, mates, this would be a good time to fall the hell back. Alexandre, Smoke Bomb, if ya' can?"

[Zepher]

Why do you think I targeted him? It makes sense to me, but if I'm unable to copy the special damage, could I at least prevent the special from taking place? Also, I don't think Tarn can take damage from the burn because Sentinel is in place, but I'm fairly sure he can next round.

OoC: Alright, seems fair enough to me. Let's say you and he both called the same Knight, and he got so confused that he just left again. And the burn can hurt. All effects and special damage effects take place, all combat damage is blocked.

[Waterbrick Down]

"We already wayin' anchor rogue?" Skrall takes his finger off the trigger of his crossbow. "Might make sense to assemble ourselves in the main entryway, but the rest of the villians are probably goin' to converge on us there anyways."

[Chromeknight]

Frustrated at her inability to hit, Nerwen draws a breath. Filling her lungs with air, she prepares power to heal denarii from the back row.

Denarii, now standing on the floor, pulls back on her bow, readying an arrow for imperial guard f from the back row.

Xander, now would be an ideal time for one of your frenzies!

Edited August 8, 2012 by Chromeknight

[CorneliusMurdock]

Chaos Beast B should be paralyzed as well now since I hit it.

It'd be funny if CMP somehow called a Lion Knight that was loyal to Knyghton and Luke. Maybe he was spying for them?

Ouch. Cronk will heal Cronk and then bash Chaos Beast A from front row.

Arthur, how is Arthur doing? Cronk and mage appear to be holding beasts off for now. Plan still to get beasts all sleeping? Maybe confusing beasts could be helpful as well.

Miss Ella, hold tight. Friends are bashing evil as fast as friends can.

[CMP]

Yay, now I can roleplay it.

Lamorak waved his sword, and another Rogue Lion Commander swarmed into the room. Atramor blinked. His eyes flickered a violent orange. The Commander stiffened suddenly, one of his eyes glowing the same, dimly. Lamorak merely glared at the witch, pointing his weapon at Atramor, obviously intending the Commander to attack. The rogue grit his teeth, maintaining the unnatural connection of ether as he sought to overcome the Rogue Lion - he began shaking, dropping his sword, grasping either side of his head, falling to his knees. His unwavering loyal devotion to help bring the Lions back to glory, and Atramor's attempts to twist his mind seemed to clash; and with a clunk as his helmet hit the floor, he fell forward, lying motionless on the ground, blood seeping from his mouth.

Both the Lion and the witch stared at the crumpled body for several seconds, before the latter shook his head, slipping into the crowd of heroes once again.

"That...damn."

"That was rather morbidly entertaining, I must admit," snickered McCafferey to Atramor. He shook away this thought as well, though he couldn't help but agree it was satisfying, in a somewhat twisted way.

"Skrall, there's 10 of us, I think, which is barely enough to cover the nameless Lions, much less the heavy hitting leaders. If we retreat now, the others will have 3 rounds to finish their opponent and help us, and we'll have an entire round to heal. Aye, I think it'd be prudent if we fled now.

And Arthur, I think you should follow Cronk's advice and Confuse Chaos Beast A from the back row."

[posades]

OOC: What was my other roll, since I'm lucky?

Xander turned to Nerwen; "I'll try, no guarantees though," he said as he managed a smile.

He continued his assault on the elite guard, attacking from the front row.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Alexandre pulls the pin and tosses the smoke bomb in the air.

"Let's go!"

[Dharkan]

Attacking Imperial Guard C from front row.

[Tanma]

IC: De'kra followed after the others, hoping that the enemies did indeed intend to use the south entrance as their exit. Even as he ran the doubts from the start of the battle crept back into his mind, against so many odds how could these few heroes be victorious?

Edited August 9, 2012 by Tanma

[Zepher]

OOC: What was my other roll, since I'm lucky?

There was the lucky effect I missed. Fixed.

Also, the advantage of a smoke bomb is that, if you put the battle order correctly, you can all attack and then flee! Much like fleeing a battle.

[CMP]

Atramor nodded as Alexandre tossed the Smoke Bomb, snatching McCafferey off an empty torch bracket as he sprinted south, to the great hall.

OoC: Actually I think it was determined that a smoke bomb only allows a party to move without taking free hits, we still need to spend our turn to move, but we don't take the free hits.

"Luke, it looks like we're packin' up follow me." With that Skrall holstered his crossbow, sheathed his greatsword and moved south bringing up the rear of the Party, his great bulk blocking any unwarrented attacks from behind as Alexandre's smoke bomb covered the room in a thick dark haze. Luke led the way, his diamond piercing the blackness as he moved south.

"Skrall, Arthur's gonna Confuse the Chaos Beast Cronk is attacking this time, he should go first so if Cronk takes damage or special damage it'll have a chance to rebound on one of the others."

[Waterbrick Down]

"My good chap, I don't believe his spell will take effect till the next round a little afterwards."

[Rumble Strike]

After being consistently burned for 2 points at the start of the Quest, Tarn finally gets some SP and then gets hit with a burn effect that disregards SP!

Tarn readies himself to move south wih the others under cover of the smoke bomb.

[CMP]

Atramor is so focused on darting away from the Lion Knights and waving his arm through the thick smoke spewed in the throne room that he doesn't notice the cloud of pink paper bursting into existence just ahead of him. He stumbles through it and lands facefirst on the ground, McCafferey flapping away with a squawk. Rubbing his head, the witch notes a Scroll of Blindness rolled up neatly on the floor right in front of where he'd fallen, and a few curly pink letters on the edge: Atramor Gibbin, couresty of Heroica First Anniversary Lottery. He blinks, tucks it into his cloak, grabs his chicken yet again, and continues his mad dash.

"Huh. Might come in handy..."
