Heroica RPG - Quest #29: Journey to Dastan

[JimBee]

OOC: Shouldn't damage have been halved since I was in the back row?

QM Note: Correct, I just didn't realize that you were in the back. Fixed.

[Fugazi]

QM Note: Correct, I just didn't realize that you were in the back. Fixed.

OOC: Thanks JimB! In which case...

Galen swings the Sword of Bashing at Emeraldo Soldier A from the front row.

[Chromeknight]

Sorry Xander, I did not see you were hurt also. Would you like to save your potion and let me heal you, that way you can still strike the enemy. I have not had much success in doing so.

If Xander wants, Nerwen will heal Xander from the back row.

Otherwise Nerwen will attack the swordsman again from the front row this time.

Edited May 28, 2012 by Chromeknight

[CorneliusMurdock]

Ouch. That hurt Cronk.

[posades]

"If Galen does not require your assistance, I would be most grateful for your healing power Nerwen. I will instead attack the Lancer from the front row."

[JimBee]

Results of Round 3 of Battle of Betrayal

Cronk - Stunned

De'kra vs. Soldier B - Damage

Sarick vs. Emeraldo Mage - Special Damage Special Damage

Nerwen vs. Xander - Heal More

Xander vs. Emeraldo Lancer - Miss (Aim)

Galen vs. Emeraldo Soldier A - Damage

Mounted Emeraldo Elite - Free hit on Cronk

Emeraldo Archer - Free hit on De'kra

Emeraldo Swordsman - Free hit on Sarick

The battle takes a turn for the worse. Cronk lies helpless on the ground, and De'kra is hit with Soldier B's ax (8). The Emeraldo Mage's sapphire glows, and huge gusts of wind send Galen, De'kra, Xander, and Cronk to the back row for the next round. Luckily Nerwen patches Xander up with a powerful healing spell while the barbarian practices his new double-sided ax on the Lancer. On his horse, Xander takes a swing at the foe's head, but he quickly ducks. However, Xander uses the weight of the other end of the staff to spin it around and strike his leg for 8 damage. The two mounted men turn their steeds around for another round. Galen, now confident in the front row, faces the wrath of Soldier A, who deals 8 damage with his ax. The Elite, Archer, and Swordsman all get free hits on Cronk, De'kra, and Sarick, respectively.

With much of the party low on health, the battle starts to look grim.

[posades]

OOC: Should I have done 8 damage (weapon had 6 and horse is +1 and my cape is +1 as well)? And this is a noob question but can I use my potion on someone else in one turn, and would that count as my turn on the back row?

Xander surveyed the scene, and it did not look good. Many of his friends were in need of healing; he would need to consult the others before making a decision on what to do next.

[JimBee]

OOC: Should I have done 8 damage (weapon had 6 and horse is +1 and my cape is +1 as well)? And this is a noob question but can I use my potion on someone else in one turn, and would that count as my turn on the back row?

QM Note: Yes, I wrote it as 7 but calculated it as 8. And yes, using your potion on yourself or another player would take your turn but giving a potion during battle would take both your turn and the other player's.

[Fugazi]

Noticing a streak of red soaking into Galen's clothes Nerwen asked,

Are you alright? Do you need healing?

"Oh, I'm sorry Nerwen, I didn't hear you in the general confusion. Thanks for the offer, and right now it looks like I might need some help again but it would be best if you used your powers on Sarick or De'kra, and I'll just drink a potion."

[Tanma]

IC: As he winced in pain, De'kra moved to the back row and clicked, "I have idea. I throw I Ice Bomb, which should weaken all foes and ...defeat...Soldier B. It also might deal double damage against Lancer and Elite, though I am not sure of exact stats of hybrids. Hopefully that defeat foes. I also suggest put Sarick, Galan, and I as last three combatants this round, so two heroes and I no worry about free hits."

OOC: sorry for taking so long, the power went out.

[CorneliusMurdock]

Cronk will bash Mounted Emeraldo Elite from front row. Cronk would try healing a friend but if Cronk does not attack something, even more free hits will be given.

[Xarrzan]

OOC: Did I roll two special damages or just the one?

[posades]

OOC: Do the updated stats in your newest post reflect the gold we found in the fort, Jim? Sorry, I don't remember how much gold I had.

Cronk will bash Mounted Emeraldo Elite from front row. Cronk would try healing a friend but if Cronk does not attack something, even more free hits will be given.

"Unfortunately, Cronk, we are stuck on the back row this round because of the Mage," Xander shouts as he prepares an attack on the Lancer from the front back row.

[JimBee]

OOC: Did I roll two special damages or just the one?

QM Note: I forgot that you were lucky... unfortunately the second roll was also special damage. Sorry.

OOC: Do the updated stats in your newest post reflect the gold we found in the fort, Jim? Sorry, I don't remember how much gold I had.

QM Note: Yes, but for some reason I forgot to update yours and Cronk's gold. Fixed now, thanks for pointing it out. The bombs were updated into the stats, though.

[Xarrzan]

QM Note: I forgot that you were lucky... unfortunately the second roll was also special damage. Sorry.

OOC: That's ok. Also, I was standing in the back row and should have only taken 5 damage.

Sarick looked at the gash on his arm. He glared at the swordsman and thought 'I will remember that'. "Nerwen, I will be fine thisss round. The cut is not bleeding badly. I would focus on healing others or attacking our foe." Sarick continued his attack against the Emeraldo Mage from the back row with frost magic.

Battle Order:

-------------

>Cronk vs. Mounted Emeraldo Elite

>Xander vs. Lancer

>Nerwen

>Sarick vs. Emeraldo Mage

>De'kra throws Ice Bomb

>Galen drinks potion

[Chromeknight]

Even though she is not certain if her healing power will affect the little echo, Nerwen heals De'kra while standing in the back row.

[JimBee]

QM Note: Fixed, again. Thanks for paying attention, guys, I must've really been out of it that last round.

Results of Round 4 of Battle of Betrayal:

Cronk vs. Mounted Emeraldo Elite - Critical Hit

Xander vs. Lancer - Battle Frenzy

Nerwen vs. De'kra - Heal More

Sarick vs. Emeraldo Mage - Spell (Ice) Special Damage

De'kra throws Ice Bomb

Galen drinks potion

Soldier A - Free Hit on Cronk

Swordsman - Free Hit on Xander

Stuck in the back row, Cronk bashes the Mounted Elite for 21 damage. Xander goes into a Frenzy, dealing 10 damage to all foes and defeating Soldier B. Nerwen heals De'kra back to full health, and Sarick freezes the Wind Mage for 15 damage, at the expense of 1 ether. De'kra cools the battle down even more with an Ice Bomb, dealing 5 damage to all remaining enemies except for the Elite and Lancer, to which their horses suffer 10 damage each. This defeats the Archer. Galen steps aside for a moment to down a potion, while Cronk blocks Soldier A's ax and the Swordsman slices Xander. The Mage's Gust slows.

[Tanma]

IC: De'kra whipped out Kapura once more, relieved that his attack had managed to take out one of the foes. "I will attack Soldier A from front row. Hopefully this battle will be easier and attackers down two combatants. I worry though that Team need hurry, heroes and I still have no clue what Russel up to."

[CorneliusMurdock]

Cronk will bash Mounted Emeraldo Elite once again. From front row this time, please.

[Chromeknight]

The power to heal flowed smoothly around the little shade, strengthening and restoring him. Nerwen wondered what he was made of, that had such a ready response to the healing. Putting the thought aside and focusing on the battle again, she could see that the other heroes were, if not completely healthy, well enough to withstand any blows that the enemies might deliver. Beckoning once again at the swordsman now from the front row Nerwen taunted, Let's dance.

[Xarrzan]

Sarick blasted the mage and followed up with another attack. Sarick continued his attack against the Emeraldo Mage from the back row with frost magic.

Battle Order:

-------------

Cronk vs. Mounted Emeraldo Elite

De'kra vs. Solider A

Xander

Nerwen vs. swordsman

>Sarick vs. Emeraldo Mage

Galen

[posades]

Xander continues to target the lancer, attacking from the front row.

[Fugazi]

His wounds largely healed, Galen attacks the Emeraldo Swordsman from the front row.

[JimBee]

Results of Round 5 of Battle of Betrayal:

Cronk vs. Mounted Emeraldo Elite - Critical Hit

De'kra vs. Solider A - Critical Hit

Xander vs. Lancer - Special Damage

Nerwen vs. Swordsman - Damage

Sarick vs. Emeraldo Mage - Miss Damage

Galen vs. Swordsman - Damage

Both Cronk and De'kra score critical hits on their targets, and bring them both to the ground. The Lancer and Xander go at it again on their horses, but since the barbarian doesn't have a shield the Lancer's attack is ineffective. The Swordsman expertly slices both Nerwen and Galen for 10 damage each. Sarick casts an ice spell, but it falls short.

[Tanma]

IC: De'kra strikes down the soldier, only to spot Nerwen and Galen stumble back in pain. "I suggest you two rest through this round," clicked the echo with concern, "and try to heal. Only three of foes are left, rest of heroes and I should be okay." De'kra readies Kapura for an attack on the Mage from the front row. The echo's reserves about attacking the foes are forgotten in this attack, only the fact that two members of the Team were so critically hurt was important. Kapura burned bright in his hand, though the hilt remained cool and calming.
