Palathadric Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 "I don't see much reason for me to seal him and waste ether, but...fine. Let's do it! You see, folks, as we follow God's timetable, we win, with nary a scratch as of yet." Quote
Endgame Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Round Five of the Toxic Twins Redux >Monk Pretzel seals Toxiprogg B: Failure! >Daxus VS Toxiprogg B: Mug (10x3=30+8=38-3=35 damage, 15 gold earned) Monk Pretzel chants the words on the scroll, only for one pronunciation to go awry.

Had they accidentally taken the duel too far? Erik pokes a Toxiprogg with his spear, causing it to startle and get up. "Wuh?? Oh, it's just you... I'm quite frankly amazed. You took us down without losing a single bit of health? Perhaps you do have a chance against that beast. Here is the upfront 64 gold, as promised." 64 Gold "Our lungs are essentially giant venom mixers. It'll take a bit for us to brew Proggbane, a custom poison, though. It'll only work on the Death Progg. I believe he is residing behind huge black-and-blue double doors. When you see those doors, double back to us and we'll have the venom ready. Oh, and have this, too." Key 3 What will the party do now? The passage that the Toxiproggs were guarding is now able to be walked through. Edited July 7, 2012 by Endgame Quote
Palathadric Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 "I don't take charity, especially not from demons!" I say, as I swipe away the gold and key. 16 gold to all of you, and I'm keeping the key. Let's go...was there anywhere behind us where we could use this key? Daxus?" Quote

QM Note: Feel free to ask the Toxiproggs a few questions while I prep the next set... your perfect win was NOT expected. Edited July 7, 2012 by Endgame Quote
Palathadric Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Not wanting to talk to the proggs directly, for fear that others would consider me "giving in," I whisper to Daxus. "Ask them where the room is that this key unlocks. It may save me time going through my journal and recounting where we need to go to." Aren't we all supposed to be up a level? Edited July 7, 2012 by Palathadric Quote
Palathadric Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Just go ahead and pretend that Daxus asked the question. Also, I will update my signature already as if I was boosted an extra level. Quote
Endgame Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 QM Note: Bah. I need to trade in my brain for a newer model! "I'm not sure. There is a Spawner Progg hanging out somewhere around here. She's a feisty mistress. Since she is convinced that the Death Progg will one day marry her, you'll never be able to convince her to defect." Quote

She's a feisty mistress. Since she is convinced that the Death Progg will one day marry her, you'll never be able to convince her to defect." "Perfect! A mother progg. Finally we will make some kills where it counts, at the very roots. The death progg is a male or female?" I suddenly panic. Quote
Endgame Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 "Male. When you hear his voice any doubts you may have will be erased. I didn't even know having a voice that deep was possible..." Quote
Palathadric Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 I wipe the sweat from my brow. I need not say more. "Daxus, did the proggs tell you which door this key opens?" Hint, hint, Endgame. I'm too tired to scroll through all the pages and see for myself whether we've found the door or not. Quote
Endgame Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 QM Note: You don't know the exact door. There is one right in front of you that is unlocked, and 3 outside of the room in the grand foyer that are locked. You gotta try some process of elimination here - voice-in-sky demands it! Quote
Palathadric Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 We got out of the room by the unlocked door and expect to see a digital rendering of what we find there. Unless there anything else to explore in this room first. Quote
Endgame Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 We got out of the room by the unlocked door and expect to see a digital rendering of what we find there. Unless there anything else to explore in this room first. There are several barrels stacked along the walls in the room you fought the Toxiproggs in. Also, one digital-rendering fresh out of the oven coming up... just give me time to finish it first! Quote
Endgame Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 The heroes sift through the barrels, only to find Commerz family nick-and-knacks - nothing of use for once! Quote
Endgame Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 The party walks past the Toxiproggs and into the next room. A cobbled together stone wall blocks a passage - and a Progg runt stares at it, as if deep in thought. How will the party approach the oblivious runt? Quote
LEGOman273 Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 "Um. . . Excuse me? Is everything alright?" *Once we finish with the runt, I search the chest, box, and drawer. I look in the alcoves, through the door, and at the rock wall* Quote
Endgame Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 The runt turns to the sound of Daxus's voice, takes a few steps back - and releases a terrified shirek as he sees the party. He rolls up into a ball, blubbering and wheezing. "Eeek! Please don't eat me!!" How will the party respond? QM Note: Going to wait until the conversation with the runt is done to let you explore the room. Quote

Why did you help her? Do you know her?" Quote
Endgame Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 "I was left behind has soon as *cough* I hatched. Since I was a runt, I was deemed useless.

In between eating moss off the walls and scouring for left overs, I developed a bit of a hobby. *cough* I'd loot the bomb trunks and engineer them to be more powerful.

Do you know how it feels to have your own species despise you...?! *wheeze* Bomb-making was the only good thing in my life. So when the nice lady came and those big Progg meanies tried to eat her, i *wheeze* bailed her out." Quote

Instead, he keeps a stockpile of bombs to use in his bombing recipes. Heroes may use a turn to ahdn him a bomb, or use a turn to tell Punii to detonate one. The following recipes are available for Punii to use now: Solarburst: Every holy bomb used in this recipe does 6 light elemental damage. Example: Punii has 2 holy bombs in his stockpile. Monk pretzel tells him to use 2 holy bombs in a Solarburst - Punii then uses the two holy bombs to create an explosion that deals 12 light-elemental damage. Firecracker: Every fire bomb used in this recipe does 5 fire-elemental damage and has a 1 in 3 chance of burning each enemy. Using 3 bombs for a Firecracker at once guarantees a complete burn. Example: Punii has 4 Fire bombs in his stockpile. Pretzel orders him to use 3 of them in a firecracker. The resulting explosion does 15 fire-elemental damage and burns every enemy. Mishmash This recipe works with every type of bomb. Every bomb used in this recipe does 8 non elemental damage. Example: Punii has 2 fire bombs and 2 water bombs in his stockpile. Pretzel orders him to use 1 fire and 2 water in a mishmash. An explosion that causes 24 non-elemental damage is created. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "See that little hole in the left pillar holding the arch up?
