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

>Lind Whisperer (Ethereal Deack) vs. Dryad (Back Row) - Special Damage (Poison Ivy - Lind: Bound + Poisoned by 4)

>Darksten (Crossbow) vs. Cheshire Cat A (Back Row) - Aim (Cheshire Cat A: 6 damage)

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

Bugbear Healer B vs. Darksten: 7 0 damage

[Comrade Commander]

Darksten watches happily as his arrow strikes true. he quickly repeats by firing again, hoping his aim remains as good.

[Lind Whisperer]

Knowing this would likely be his last moment of combat, Lind attacked the Dryad again.

Battle Order:

Lind Whisperer: Dryad, Back Row

Darksten: Chesire Cat A, Back Row

Ooc: I would imagine repeat until we've both fallen; if Darksten acquiesces.

Edited December 20, 2014 by Lind Whisperer

[Flipz]

FM Note: I'll give Darksten a chance to decide whether to keep fighting or not; I know it's your plan, but I'd like to hear confirmation from Comrade Commander himself.

Round 5 of the Anticipated Apple Ambush (Battle 4, Famine):

>Lind Whisperer (Ethereal Deack) vs. Dryad (Back Row) - Special Damage (Poison Ivy - Lind: Bound + Poisoned by 4)

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

Bugbear Healer B vs. Darksten: 7 0 damage

Lind: -8 (poisoned) (KO!)

The party chooses to go out fighting. Somehow, Darksten still stands, but there is no hope for him now other than to flee.

[Comrade Commander]

The rogue falls to the poison of the dryad, leaving Darksten alone to face the horde. He knew his final moments were coming close, but wished they would not have to occur during an event others considered easy. At least his aim remained true, and his arrows were finding their marks.

Darksten continued to unload his crossbow towards the approaching foes from the back until he could no longer

[Flipz]

Round 6 of the Anticipated Apple Ambush (Battle 4, Famine):

>Darksten (Crossbow) vs. Cheshire Cat A (Back Row) - Hit (Cheshire Cat A: 6+14=20 damage)

Bugbear Healer A + Bugbear Healer B + Cheshire Cat B + Dryad vs. Darksten: 7 + 7 0 + (13+16=29/2=14) = 21 - 2 = 19 damage (KO!)

Darksten's last shot lands true, but to no avail as the monsters crowd round and tackle the weary Ranger to the ground. In the last delirious moments before all fades to black, he sees a mighty pitchfork descending from the heavens to unleash its wrath upon the foes...

THE BATTLE IS LOST!

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

The party awakens to find themselves back at the Donauld farmhouse where they first began, Billy the Goat dashing frantically back and forth from one to the next to the next with a wet sponge in his mouth. The goat hurriedly drops his sponge when he notices the Heroes regaining consciousness.

"Baa! Baaaa baa baaaa! Baaaaaaaaaa! [Oh! You're all awake! Everyone, come quickly!]"

"Howdy ho, Heroes. Good to see you back. Good to see you alive, actually. When we found you out there, we weren't entirely sure ya'd make it. I wish our reunion could be under happier conditions, but I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you folks."

"Cock-a-doodle-doo! [it brings me no pleasure to say this, but under Article 1, Subsection 3 of the Laws of the Fields of Glory, you will have to leave the Fields of Glory to recover from your injuries.]"

"Darn tootin'. You Heroica folks may seem darn near invincible, but even y'all can't repel injuries of this magnitude. It'd be far too dangerous to let you back in there after what happened in the orchard. Go home, get some rest, and maybe come back when you're a little more prepared for the challenges ahead. In the meantime, though, I'll leave ya to Missy."

"Oink oink, Oinkity Oink! Oink oink oink, oinkity oink oink, oink oink oink oink oinkity. Oinkity! [Thank you, Old Mack! Even though you were defeated, you may still exchange the Glory Points you've earned for prizes, or you may choose to save them for later if you wish. Just let me know what you'd prefer!]"

The party members make their selections, and begin the slow trek back to Eubric.

[Lind Whisperer]

As he has...plans in mind for his points, and the rules do not let Heroes pool their points, Lind does not purchase anything. He does, however, dig around in the ground by the Prize Barrel with his shovel, in search of at least two coins, so as to make sure the generous half-giant he met at least received what he had lent, if not more.

Ooc: I should currently be down to 0 gold, after buying that Beginner's Deck. Unless I dug them up just now.

Also, many thanks for hosting us!

Whether by chance or fate, Lind does indeed find 5 gold, pocketing it before the farmer and his animals can see.

[Lind Whisperer]

Whether by chance or fate, Lind does indeed find 5 gold, pocketing it before the farmer and his animals can see.

Lind, extremely pleased, slipped the coins into his pocket while quietly murmuring to himself. "Luck, chance, fate. The chaos is maddening, but it comes in waves.

First, the luck of the beginner, your birth into the new world shoving and buoying you onward, until you believe you are unstoppable. Then, suddenly, you are handed off to the midwife of chance, and ducked under the waters painfully. But, after that, then you are given into the care of the scholar of fate, to create your future."

He tipped his hat politely to the cheerful farmer and animals, and strode off, down the lane, back towards the smoky towers and low burghers' houses of Eubric.

[LordoftheNoobs]

OOC: I'll keep my points for later too. Thanks!

[Comrade Commander]

Darksten awakens to a bitter taste in his mouth, one that he cannot decide if it is the sting of defeat or the saliva of the goat. Either way he is not happy.

With a nod and kind word to the farmer and barn animals, the ranger collects his belongings and heads back to the hall, saving his points for another day

Ooc: Thanks for the quest!

The tenth party to venture into the Fields of Glory arrived to their starting point at Donauld Farm. They were greeted by the farmer himself.

"Howdy-ho, adventurers! There's quite a bunch of you this time 'round! Well, the gate's that-a-way, so if you're ready, just pick a path! Be safe out there, and watch out fer that huge serpent roaming somewhere on the east!"

OOC: Thanks for hosting! Stats look good except for the missing Decamon Deck.

Decamon Deck: Lucky Rabbit (Icy 1), Scarab (Rock 1), Barghest (Electric 2), Automaton (Electric 5)

Purpearl greets the farmer as she reaches the Fields, "I hope you've a lovely day Mack Donauld." Turning to the Munchkin rogue, holding up her Chaotic Whip, "I noticed that you have a couple of throwing weapons, do you think you can crack a whip? I could lend it to you for this journey if you want. It might not crackle as loud as the others, perhaps it can be a backup weapon of choice, just as a precaution."

Turning to Siercon, "As for the Lullaby Wand, please accept this Muddy Bomb as part of the payment and as a security. I'll pay the rest of the hundred once I get my hands on them."

[Lind Whisperer]

"Howdy-ho, adventurers! There's quite a bunch of you this time 'round! Well, the gate's that-a-way, so if you're ready, just pick a path! Be safe out there, and watch out fer that huge serpent roaming somewhere on the east!"

QM Note: Welcome to the Fields of Glory! If you haven't figured out it by now, I will act as your host for this trip. Let's have some fun at the new and improved Fields!

"Many thanks, Master Donauld. It is good to be back, even if so soon."

"I noticed that you have a couple of throwing weapons, do you think you can crack a whip? I could lend it to you for this journey if you want. It might not crackle as loud as the others, perhaps it can be a backup weapon of choice, just as a precaution."

"Thank you, I do believe that that would be useful. My Ethereal Decks - well, they have a certain meaning to me culturally, but after having to retrieve them so often last time, I have begun to wonder if they are really worth it."

Lind accepts the Chaotic Whip.

"I was looking over our skills, and I was thinking you perhaps might want to wear my Anniversery Medal, while I wear your Aventine's Tricorn? They are both immune to fire, so we would lose nothing there, and since, as one of our most skilled Heroes, you will likely be higher up in the battle order, the added defense would help diminish any damage you recieve."

Ooc: I believe Sandy dropped our cards from our stats since we won't be using them here.

Kiray looked at the farmer and the gate. Then she glanced at her fellow Heroes. The knight stretched her arms and mentally prepared herself for what was to come. "A serpentine beast you say? Have you seen it?"

"Sounds good to me. I suppose you would be replacing your current headwear with the tricorne?"

Kiray looked at the farmer and the gate. Then she glanced at her fellow Heroes. The knight stretched her arms and mentally prepared herself for what was to come. "A serpentine beast you say? Have you seen it?"

"Perhaps we could head east if you are interested." Purpearl winks at Kiray.

"Sounds good to me. I suppose you would be replacing your current headwear with the tricorne?"

"Yes. It will have the negative effect of making me a bit more vulnerable, and if we didn't have such a good-sized party, it wouldn't be such a good idea, but we do, and it is."

Lind hands Purpearl his Anniversery Medal.

[Siercon and Coral]

OoC: Totally here btw just waiting on a deal from Fabian... Sandy, should I just proceed without it, or do you think Fabian will reply soon?

[Purpearljellyblob]

"Yes. It will have the negative effect of making me a bit more vulnerable, and if we didn't have such a good-sized party, it wouldn't be such a good idea, but we do, and it is."

Lind hands Purpearl his Anniversery Medal.

"Thank you for the kind offer." says Purpearl as she hands Lind her Aventine's Tricorne and equips Lind's Anniversary Medal. "I believe you have been here before Lind, do you have any ideas or feel like we would be up to the challenge?"

[Lind Whisperer]

"Thank you for the kind offer." says Purpearl as she hands Lind her Aventine's Tricorne and equips Lind's Anniversary Medal. "I believe you have been here before Lind, do you have any ideas or feel like we would be up to the challenge?"

"Yes. Since we're a full, well-armored and geared party of six, I think we should go through the Fields by number, and we should try the "War" challenge - although we'll need to make doubly sure we pick the right targets at the start of each fight. My last party would have gone much further than we did, but we faced a few too many Bugbears in the Apple Orchard. I seriously doubt we'll be seeing the same problem here, though."

Lind looked around, admiring the strength of the party that had been assembled. He equipped Aventine's Tricorne, and settled it at a jaunty angle.

"Bugbears?" Kiray repeated. "I've never seen those. Sounds... weird."

Matthias arrives at the farm just in time to see the Munchkin puff up and try to wear a hat. He laughs a little at how the diminutive party leader has the tricorne arranged - he probably think's that's a terribly rakish look, poor short soul doesn't know a thing about hats. Adjusting his own much more fashionable topper, the gnome makes eye contact with the Farmer to ensure he's counted but stands quietly in the back.

Sandy, I found an error that I made in my stats - Matthias doesn't have the chance to be *Encouraged* any more because he's wearing the Hunter's Plate instead of his Dapper Hat. Here's an updated stats page:

Matthias the Carnival Crusader (StickFig)

Level 16 Druid *Gains 10 gold for each Humanoid killed* *Immune to Bound, Slowed*

Power Bonus: 10

Defense: 4

Health: 26/26

Ether: 16/16

Gold: 91

Equipment: Restored Fireball Extraordinaire (WP:9, also hits enemies listed above and below the target, Darkness- and Lightning-elemental, user is Slowed, hand cannon), Hunter's Plate (SP:4, wearer gains 10 gold for each Humanoid killed, suitable for rogues, rangers, barbarians, beast warriors, infiltrators, regulators, and winged warriors) (Dreyrugr), Winged Sandals (Protects from Bound and Slowed effects, footwear)

Inventory: Peashooter (WP:2, deals Burning -2, hand cannon), Pongcanis Crossbow (WP:8, crossbow), Dapper Hat (This amazingly dapper hat gives the wearer a ⅙ chance of being Encouraged at the start of any battle, headwear), Ruby (Fire), 2x Elixir, Grand Potion, Grating Stone, Potion, 2x Red Death Blood, 4x Remedy, 2x Smoke Bomb, Bedroll, Magic Compass

P.S. - Does the "War" challenge apply to healers? Could I attack a monster, then heal a party member, then go back to attacking (the same) monster?

Ooc: He's the same height as every other human. Munchkin is his "sub-nationality" name, not his species name. Like how someone from New York City could be called a New Yorker.

Siercon arrives joining the others. "Hi everyone" he says. "Lind Whisperer, I am glad for you being party leader, but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind letting me have significant say in the challenges we choose. This kind of strategy is one of my passions, and from what I've seen they can be used much more than people have in the past..." Siercon contemplates the various calculations and probabilities in the compiling effects...

========================

OoC: But really, I've got google docs all prepped an ready if you'd like to hear my thoughts. Quick clarification though for Sandy:

For the multiplier, does the equation look like this or this:

Examples use: Lvl X = Xgp, and lets assume we choose 3 multiplier challenges that are respectively 1.5, 2, 2.5 all at the same time.

X*1.5*2*2.5=7.5X

or

(X*1.5)+(X*2)+(X*2.5)=6X

===========================

"Sure, that works out great!" Siercon says turning to Purpearl and handing her the Lullaby Wand.

"Of a certainty, Master Mage. Please, share with us your thoughts/strategies."

Ooc: As far as I know, we can only have one challenge active at a time.
