Heroica RPG - Unlimited Quest: Fields of Glory

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke dashes forward with Vintul twirling and whirling about him like a cyclone. He dives and lunges gracefully through the fray as feathers, beaks and blood fly everywhere. Vintul seems to be attuned with it's long separated gem stone, but since no more enemies are susceptible to its bite, Hoke returns the precious stone to his satchel and retrieves another. He waits for Skrall's orders as they may be able to absorb the hits and counter strike the enemies down.

Skrall decides to ignore the demons' foul tactics and just sticks to killing them with brute force from the back row.

[PsyKater]

"Okay, let's get rid of these nasty Scarecrow, now!" says Amma as she attacks the last Scarecrows (A, Ice Spell, backrow, autoroll appreciated).

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke moves to the back row, but in front of his party, and waits for the scarecrow's attacks.

Nothing, Back row.

[Quarryman]

Light spell at Scarecrow C from the back row.

[UsernameMDM]

"Why are y'all attacking my friends? We have enough protection from the back row to watch the scarecrows succumb to the poison and my counterstrikes. Why the risk? Let's be wise and use a certain tactic."

"It's not my nature to stand and watch..."

"It's not my nature to stand and watch..."

Hoke chuckles and shakes his head.

[PsyKater]

"What's so funny?"

[UsernameMDM]

"What's so funny?"

"If it doesn't seem obvious to you, then I am not sure I could explain it."

[Quarryman]

"Why are y'all attacking my friends? We have enough protection from the back row to watch the scarecrows succumb to the poison and my counterstrikes. Why the risk? Let's be wise and use a certain tactic."

"The scarecrows can't hurt me, so might as well get this over with quicker."

[UsernameMDM]

"The scarecrows can't hurt me, so might as well get this over with quicker."

"It would be wiser and quicker if we let the poison and counterstrikes do their work. Why do through all of the trouble of Alexis using her skills if we do not capitalize on them?"

Not sure if I am explaining this good enough in character. Your attacks can result in damage and prevents counterstrikes if no free hits are available. If everyone just sits on the back row and does not attack, JimB can just AUTOROLL the poison and counterstrikes WITHOUT having to worry about calculating attacks and damage. Use your head and take it easy on the QM.

[Quarryman]

OoC: in character it can't be explained since for the characters the quickest way of killing enemies is to hit them as hard as possible, it's not quicker for the characters to do nothing. I agree about it being easier for Jimbee though, but as far as the characters are concerned the QM doesn't exists.

"Whatever, this doesn't make sense, but if you insist on us doing nothing I guess I'll do nothing too."

Quicker in the sense that we wouldn't have to fool with damage and special damage rolls and no counterstrikes.

"In the end, you will see," Hoke says as he keeps his stance in front of the party, prepared to defend against the upcoming attacks.

[PsyKater]

"Prove that, boy." Amma steps back, doing nothing.

"As you say, ma'am."

[Jebediahs]

As he is already sitting,Nur does nothing from the back row.

[Waterbrick Down]

Well, I think we'll let the poison do its work. Worked last time with those thorny demons so I guess why not here." Skrall sits back and does nothing.

Battle Order:

"Good!," Hoke says as he shuts the visor to his helmet.

Where will the party go next?

[PsyKater]

"Well, this was boring, but yes, no risk. Maybe not the worst idea, Hoke. Sometimes a little brain works well. Wouldn't have thought that something like that came from someone like you.

I am always up to something to eat. But I am ok with every decision of yours, Skrall."

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke lifted his visor and winked at the dwarf.

"After watching those scarecrows devour those murderous fowls, I wouldn't mind one of those Chicken Drumsticks."

Hoke takes of his helmet and rubs his matted hair. It may be time for a trim once they return to the city. He fishes the map out of his satchel and takes a look again.

"Let's see. It looks like we could go to either the Pumpkin Patch or Derelict Windmill from here. What do you say Skrall?"

[Jebediahs]

Nur heals himself, Alexis, and Stigveladi for 3 ether. He then trades his Counterstrike Gloves for the harlot's ruby. "If ye're still wantin' to give these gloves a try."

[Waterbrick Down]

Skrall mopped his brow with his cap, "Hoke, the chicken's all yours. Namyrra, Alexis, and Stigveladi, ya each get a Skeleton Decoy and a Fire bomb. Nur, one of the bombs is fer you as well." Skrall pocketed the last bomb. "If everyone's feelin' up to it, we'll move on to the patch. I could do with a little pumpkin' pie."

Loot Division:

Namyrra: Skeleton Decoy, Firebomb

Skrall: Firebomb

Alexis: Skeleton Decoy, Firebomb

Hoke: 2x Chicken Drumsticks

Nur: Firebomb

Stigveladi: Skeleton Decoy, Firebomb

Amma looks at the decoy. "Hmmm. One can do some tricks with it during a battle, right? Seems interesting. And a bomb? Never used one before. I will see how it will work. Thanks."

"Pumpkins sound good. I am getting really hungry. And this corn didn't seem to be very tasty. I am ready to head off to the Pumpkin Patch."
