JimBee Posted May 26, 2012 Author Posted May 26, 2012 QM Note: It seems like the parties are going to split up again, in which case Quest 31 players can return to their own topic, Brickdoctor should update it shortly. And I will update mine as well in a little while. Sorry Flipz, but it would just be easier to split the heroes into their original parties rather than have one character change. Hope you understand.

posades Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 It was settled -- Xander would have to prepare for the inevitable showdown with Russel and the Emperor. Quote
Chromeknight Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Nerwen nodded at the decision and helped Xander load his horse with the weapons. Let us make haste. The traitor already has a long lead on us. Farewell heroes. We will catch up again in the hall. Quote
Flipz Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Arthur reluctantly bids farewell to the other Heroes, leaving De'kra with some final words of advice: "Stay safe, De'kra. And be wary of the elven Cleric, I do not trust her. May the winds of destiny be at thy back!" Count Knyghton also says his goodbyes, and afterward both Arthur and Knyghton return to their own party. Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Nerwen nodded at the decision and helped Xander load his horse with the weapons. Let us make haste. The traitor already has a long lead on us. Farewell heroes. We will catch up again in the hall. "Farewell, fellow elf, I hope we cross paths in the future. Godspeed on your journey!" Quote
Tanma Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 IC: De'kra clicked, "You try to stay safe as well. Remember what I said about Rito. It not that I suspect them of anything, but any information should be recall." The echo wondered briefly to himself why Arthur disliked the healer of the group, before reasoning tha it was irrelevant. De'kra is always initially wary around Mages and Clerics, especially the latter. And like Tomas before her, this healer seemed fine, although a little overly assertive earlier on. Quote
JimBee Posted May 26, 2012 Author Posted May 26, 2012 The parties part ways again as Sarick's group leaves the fort in pursuit of Russel. There are no horses available besides Xander's, so the party has to go on foot. They sprint with the weapons to where the carriages were, but instead of finding Emeraldo or Russel, a group of various types of soldiers await them. "No one's getting through to the emperor. Prepare yourselves!" Prepare for Battle!! Enemies: Emeraldo Soldier A Level: 8 Type: Humanoid Health: 80/80 Special: Defend Takes a defensive stance, preventing all damage to it for the next round.

Xarrzan Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Sarick hissed at the enemy and said, "That archer looks like he has a weak arm. His shots can't possibly penetrate through Cronk's shield. Leave him be for now." With that, Sarick attacked Emeraldo Mage from the back row with frost magic. Battle Order: ------------- Cronk Xander De'kra >Sarick vs. Emeraldo Mage Galen Nerwen Quote
CorneliusMurdock Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Cronk thinks this ridiculous. How many allies will friends have to fight? (Diplomacy) Stop! Cronk and friends must talk to Emperor. Russel was traitor. Emperor must be warned! If that not work, Cronk will bash Mounted Emeraldo Elite from front row. Quote
Tanma Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) IC: De'kra clicked in response, "Team should not hurt ally soldiers, nor soldiers hurt Team. Especially in war time. No matter who wins such fight, both will be weaken from fight and not able to defeat rogue Lion Knights as easily. At least allow discussion before rash actions are taken, there is nothing to lose." "If soldiers not listen to reason and Cronk," De'kra commented softly to the other heroes, "I have an idea. Maybe Xander could use his turn to give his horse to Galan, who could flee battlefield. Galan could ride horse to Emperor to inform him of situation, hopefully before anyone is hurt. Then news could reach people here, and stop skirmish. Could this work?" "If that idea would not work," clicked De'kra in conclusion, "I will engage Soldier B from front row if fight is not avoidable." The echo fingered Kapura, ready to use him if necessary, though hoping not to have too. Edited May 26, 2012 by Tanma Quote
Fugazi Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Galen dropped the stash of weapons he was carrying and readied himself for battle. "Ha! This is certainly the work of Russel. I wish we could have spotted this traitor earlier. There goes our reward." "Maybe Xander could use his turn to give his horse to Galan, who could flee battlefield. Galan could ride horse to Emperor to inform him of situation, hopefully before anyone is hurt. Then news could reach people here, and stop skirmish. Could this work?" "I doubt that I could reach the Emperor and come back before the battle here is over. But at least I can inform him that Russel is the traitor, not us. And try to dissuade him from sending more troops to stop us." Failing that, I will attack Emeraldo Soldier A from the front row. Quote
Chromeknight Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Nerwen gasps the hammer again as foes arrayed themselves before the party. She singled out the swordsman and, since her hammer did not have the reach or spread of the teal blade carried by the soldier, she swung from the back row. Quote
posades Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 Xander whispered to Galen, "She's all yours if you need her; she'll run true and fast, just lead the way." Turning his attention to the group in front of the heroes, he unhooked the double-sided axe from his belt. Twirling it about, he aimed his attack towards the Lancer from the front row. Quote
JimBee Posted May 27, 2012 Author Posted May 27, 2012 Cronk tries to calm the battle, but the soldiers just look to each other and grin. Results of Round 1 of Battle of Betrayal: Cronk vs. Mounted Emeraldo Elite - Critical Hit Xander vs. Emeraldo Lancer - Battle Frenzy De'kra vs. Emeraldo Soldier B - Critical Hit Sarick vs. Emeraldo Mage - Magic Burst (Lightning) Miss Galen vs. Emeraldo Soldier A - Miss Nerwen vs. Emeraldo Swordsman - Miss Emeraldo Archer - Free Hit on Cronk The battle begins well for the heroes, as Cronk swings Zoot's Bane at the Elite's horse (43). Xander goes into a Battle Frenzy, hitting all enemies with his new double-sided ax for 23 damage each. De'kra stabs Soldier B with Kapura (24) while Sarick overflows with magic, sending lightning bolts down on all enemies (15). Both Galen and Nerwen miss their targets. The Archer gains a free hit on Cronk, but the arrow bounces off his shield. The battle continues!

Chromeknight Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 Nerwen did not have the reach to strike the swordsman while standing back, but could not risk stepping much closer, wary as she was of his sharp blade. She repeated her attack sneering at the swordsman from the back row taunting him to step closer into the range of her hammer. Quote
Fugazi Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 "Hmpf... Did I mention that I was of no use in close combat?" Galen throws his dagger at Emeraldo Soldier A from the back row. Quote
Tanma Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 IC: Even as flames burn the Emeraldo Soldier, De'kra readies for a second attack frontal on Soldier B. "Think they already know?" commented De'kra, "I not recall see them earlier, they might be infiltrators." The thought didn't help ease him any, but the fight seemed unavoidable. With Kapura in his hand Kapura began to dance forward, hoping that if the knights would only be knocked out by battle's end, provided they weren't spies. Quote
Xarrzan Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 The burst of magic was satisfying but the lightning left a metallic taste in Sarick's mouth. Sarick focused on his opal gem and attacked the Emeraldo Mage from the back row with frost magic. Battle Order: ------------- Cronk Xander De'kra vs. Soldier B >Sarick vs. Emeraldo Mage >Galen vs. Emeraldo Soldier A >Nerwen vs. Swordsman Quote
posades Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 Xander once again lunges at the Lancer, attacking him from the front row. Quote
JimBee Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 Results of Round 2 of Battle of Betrayal Cronk vs. Emeraldo Mounted Elite - Special Damage Xander vs. Emeraldo Lancer - Damage De'kra vs. Soldier B - Miss Sarick vs. Emeraldo Mage - Magic Burst (Lightning) Damage Galen vs. Emeraldo Soldier A - Damage Nerwen vs. Swordsman - Miss Archer - Free hit on Cronk Cronk is trampled by the Mounted Elite. Luckily his shield absorbs the damage, but the impact leaves the orc stunned for the next round. The Lancer charges at Xander, dealing 12 damage. Soldier B dodges Kapura, but Sarick manages to summon lightning again, on all enemies (15). Galen swings at Soldier A but he dodges and brings his ax down on the Rogue for 4 damage. Nerwen is still too far away to strike the Swordsman. The Archer sends another arrow Cronk's way, but it lodges itself in the ground next to where he fell. The battle continues.

Fugazi Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Galen stumbles, wincing in pain. "Argh... That hurt! Stupid soldier, I'm going to mug you dry!" Galen swings the Sword of Bashing at Emeraldo Soldier A from the back row. OOC: Shouldn't damage have been halved since I was in the back row? Quote
Tanma Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 IC: De'kra repeats his frontal attack on soldier B , though hopefully his luck will improve from his last attack. As Kapura flares in his hand, the echo briefly notes that the blade feels...different. Kind of heavier than it did before. Of course a battle is not the best time to get distracted, so he pushed the thought aside. However in the back of his consciousness he wondered why the dagger felt so odd. Quote
Chromeknight Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Noticing a streak of red soaking into Galen's clothes Nerwen asked, Are you alright? Do you need healing? Quote
posades Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Xander felt the Lancer's weapon pierce his light armor and into his skin; the enemy was strong, but he felt the heroes would come out on top eventually. This round, however, he would have to heal himself. Taking a potion from his belt, he drank its contents from the back row. Quote
Xarrzan Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 The lightning danced from Sarick's fingers and he felt much joy to see the bolts link from one enemy to the next. His team had taken heavy damage this round though. Sarick focused again on his opal gem and attacked the Emeraldo Mage from the back row with frost magic. Battle Order: ------------- >Cronk De'kra vs. Soldier B >Sarick vs. Emeraldo Mage >Nerwen >Xander - potion >Galen vs. Emeraldo Soldier A Quote
