Heroica RPG - Unlimited Quest: Fields of Glory

[Lind Whisperer]

Ooc: One last thought - would it be possible for Grimwald to consume a Nostrum immediately before we enter the battle, without spending the first round drinking it? If so, since we'll be getting two more of those as drops, that might be in our best interests, since a large part of the plan is based on keeping several of the enemy Asleep, and with the 50/50 chance of a misroll, having a second roll would significantly increase our effectiveness in that area.

FM Note: You may indeed consume consumables before battle, but I should point out that the dice rolls for scrolls are not affected by Lucky or Jinxed.

Thanks! In that case, I believe we're ready for the Apple Orchard!

[Comrade Commander]

ooc: I am ready and like I said, I am willing to do a famine challenge and not get loot if people want. But if people want loot to divide between the three of us at the end, that is fine too.

[Lind Whisperer]

Ooc: I like that idea. The loot does not appear to be anything particularly special, other than the Nostrums, and I do believe we can pass on it without worry.

If LordoftheNoobs supports it as well, then I believe we shall enter the Apple Orchard, with the Famine Challenge.

[LordoftheNoobs]

OOC: Yes, I agree.

[Flipz]

Having taken some time to prepare themselves, the party returns to the Apple Orchard to find it in the midst of a famine.

"Let's do this!"

Battle Order:

Grimwald - Casts Scroll of Sleep on Dryad, Back Row

Lind Whisperer - Cheshire Cat B, Back Row

Darksten - Cheshire Cat A, Back Row

Edited December 13, 2014 by Lind Whisperer

[Comrade Commander]

Darksten follows the party back to the orahard, only to find the enemies before him had changed their battle positions. His plans would have to be changed, as if some higher being had been in his mind and wanted to mess with him.

None the less, Darksten loaded a bolt and fired towards Chesire Cat A from the back

[LordoftheNoobs]

"Sweet dreams!"

Grimwald casts sleep on the Dryad.

[Flipz]

FM Note: The dice seem to just keep making a bad situation worse...

Round 1 of the Anticipated Apple Ambush (Battle 4, Famine):

>Grimwald Gjinko uses Scroll of Sleep on Dryad (Back Row) - Failure (roll of 4, Grimwald: -1 Ether)

>Lind Whisperer (Darker Ethereal Deack) vs. Cheshire Cat B (Back Row) - Hide (Lind: hidden)

>Darksten (Crossbow) vs. Cheshire Cat A (Back Row) - Damage (Darksten: 13/2=6-2=4 damage)

Bugbear Healer B + Bugbear Healer A vs. Grimwald Gjinko: 7+7=14 damage

Dryad vs. Darksten: 16/2=8-2=6 damage

The party chooses to focus on the three enemies that don't ignore row, and pay dearly for it. Seeing Grimwald's scroll spell fizzle, Lind dives for cover, leaving the Sage to get pummeled by the two dangerous healers. Darksten tries to keep the Cheshire Cat occupied, but instead it and the Dryad gang up on him.

Five enemies remain against the three injured Heroes. THE BATTLE CONTINUES!

Edited December 14, 2014 by Lind Whisperer

[Comrade Commander]

Darksten towards the Chesire Cat A from the back row, growing tired of being attacked by "easy" enemies.

[Flipz]

Round 2 of the Anticipated Apple Ambush (Battle 4, Famine):

>Grimwald Gjinko uses Scroll of Sleep on Dryad (Back Row) - Success! (roll of 2, Grimwald: -1 Ether)

>Lind Whisperer (Darker Ethereal Deack) vs. Cheshire Cat B (Back Row) - Hit (Cheshire Cat B: 7+13+3=23 damage; Lind: Darker Ethereal Deck must be retrieved)

>Darksten (Crossbow) vs. Cheshire Cat A (Back Row) - SHIELD (Tripleshot - Cheshire Cat A, Cheshire Cat B, Dryad: 6+14=20 damage, Dryad awake)

Bugbear Healer A vs. Lind Whisperer: 7-4=3 damage

Bugbear Healer B vs. Grimwald Gjinko: 7 damage

Dryad vs. Darksten: 16/2=8-2=6 damage

The party continues to make poor choices, as Grimwald successfully puts the Dryad to sleep only for Darksten to awaken it. Lind scores a hit, but all three party members take enormous amounts of damage from the row-ignoring Bugbears and the reawakened Dryad.

Five enemies remain against the three badly injured Heroes. THE BATTLE CONTINUES!

Bugbear Healer B + Cheshire Cat B vs. Darksten: 7 0 +(13/2=6)=6-2=4 damage

Only Lind seems to recognize the futility of the fight, the Rogue hiding in fear as the remaining enemies beat up his allies. Perhaps it was time to seek fortune and glory elsewhere in the Fields?

[Lind Whisperer]

After accidentally tripping, not hiding, as Munchkins do not hide, Lind surveyed the battle field, and began to strategize.

Ooc: Well...Hmm...

We could Smoke Bomb out, again, I suppose. But I somewhat hate to give this place up for later, after having already used up so many consumables.

Here's one alternate battle plan. Lind casts his Phoenix Essence on Grimwald, while Darksten drinks a second Potion. I'll definitely take some damage, but I believe I can survive it, and Grimwald will be back up to full health.

For the next round, Grimwald Casts Scroll of Sleep on Bugbear Healer A. Lind attacks the Dryad, and Darksten targets Cheshire Cat A. Even if he rolls another Triple Shot, that way he won't wake up the Bugbears(Unless I'm horribly misreading how Triple Shot works).

For the next round after that, Grimwald will Attack the Dryad, Darksten targets the Cat again, and Lind either collects his cards, or drinks a potion, depending on his health.

Of course, it does depend on Lind not rolling any more Hides/being KO...

If the rest of the party would rather to move on to a different field, though, or has a different attack strategy, please feel free to share.

OOC: I don't really mind what we do to be honest.

[Comrade Commander]

ooc: Here is the thing, if we drop the Phoenix Essence, and Grimwald attacks, we still take three free hits which will chip away at our health leaving us in a rough spot.

I think we are burning through consumables without much result and are on a slippery slope. One bad roll and it could kill us.

There also aren't really any other places to go either as the only other "easy" field is beyond this one. If we cannot handle this, I doubt we will handle a more difficult one....

Unless we can think of a miracle, I am for just seeing how many shots we can get in before getting knocked out. I wouldn't mind going on a normal quest.

Ooc: As much as I'd like to try some daring last minute plan that snatches us a dazzling victory, you make an excellent point about our health. With the sort of rolls we've been getting, spending another Phoenix Essence might very well end up being a complete waste of consumables, not to mention having the same end result as if we'd just fought to the finish.

It would be a rather inglorious end to the quest, but in the interest of saving what consumables we have left, I move we follow Darksten's suggestion. It's been a good run, and I think we can feel proud of what we've done so far.

QM Question: Are there any rules against using Shovels in battle? And if there aren't, would placing oneself in the battle order while using one count as enough of an action as to receive free hits? (I was originally planning on digging in the Orchard after the battle was done, with all of the stories about gold buried in Orchards*.)

*Granted, the moral in all of them is to work hard and turn the soil so fruit will grow better, but still...

FM Note: Using a Shovel would be equivalent to using a Potion or any other item.

[Comrade Commander]

Darksten sees the short rogue dive for cover behind a tree, and then sees the enemies shift to instead converge on the wise sage. The healing effects of the potion still coursing through the ranger's blood, he is able to withstand the attack from behind, but sees the old companion with him sucumb to the unrelenting horde. He weighed his options and knew it was time to make a final stand, hoping only to take as many enemies with him as he could.

Darksten quickly loads a bolt, and fires toward Chesire Cat A from the back row.

"Bring it" he mutters

The rogue stood carefully behind the tree, aiming his last deck. He knew that this battle must eventually end in defeat, and he felt regret at the fact. His were not a people to know defeat - not since the Final Blow. But none can always know success, and even defeat can be glorious, if there is no fear, and he carefully aimed the sharp paper edges of his cards at the Dryad.

Battle Order:

Lind Whisperer: Dryad, Back Row

Darksten: Chesire Cat A, Back Row

Ooc: I was originally going to try digging, since if nothing else, I couldn't roll another Hide, and I was hoping to find at least 2 gold, to pay back Asphalt. But it just felt too much like giving up entirely, so Lind's going to wait and scrabble around in the barnyard next to the prize barrel after we finally fall and we're leaving the fields.
