Heroica RPG - Quest #38: The Lost Party

[Masked Builder]

Alexis grins as Sasha makes her comment. "I couldn't agree more Sasha, if only they would understand. They never know what to do, or when to do it. The man in my life moved on to someone else, so I left him, while I try to figure out what I want from life."

She sighs, and then switches her attention to the demon. "Let's switch it up with a nice darkness spell from the back row!"

[CorneliusMurdock]

OOC: Sorry, went to the in-laws for the day.

Cronk bash beast from front row. Just how many chaos beast are there? Cronk feels like Cronk has had to bash dozens already.

[Zepher]

OoC: Peppy, please dictate Sasha's actions!

Round One Rudimentary Chaos Beast Battle

Sasha v. Chaos Beast - Shield (31)

Cronk v. Chaos Beast - Damage (40-14=26)

Tesni v. Chaos Beast - Special Damage (4: 50 Damage Chaos Beast)

Alexis v. Chaos Beast - Special Damage (Miss) (6: +1 WP)

Alexis v. Chaos Beast - Damage ([40/2]-3=17)

Arthur v. Chaos Beast - Special Damage (Miss) (2: 25 Damage Chaos Beast)

Haldor v. Chaos Beast - Shield (-64 health Chaos Beast, +64 Health Alexis)

The battle begins. Sasha wails on the Beast, though she is eventually beat backwards. Cronk charges, but the Chaos Beast sweeps his axe low and gashes both of the Orc's legs. Blood gushes forth. Tesni tries to stab the Chaos Beast, but before she can it stumbles back howling, and black liquid surges forward from the slits in its helmet. The liquid lands on Alexis' bow, which quivers, distracting her as the Beast drive's the spike at the end of his axe into her stomach. She hunches over in pain. Arthur starts to chant a spell, but before he can complete it, the Beast's head once more explodes and black liquid flows forward, dribbling through the helmet. Haldor tackles the beast and grapples with it on the ground. The Beast shoves him back, and Haldor looks at his limping teammates. He stares at the black liquid that has fallen out of the Chaos Beast and chants a few words. The liquid flies into the wound in Alexis' side, healing it.

"Keep calm, heroes. Do not lose your head. Enough idle chit-chat. It's strange how many quests I've led where people have talked in the midst of battling for their lives."

"Alexis, are you alright? We will talk after this battle."

[Flipz]

"By my calculations, Sir Cronk, the Lady has summoned nine Chaos Beasts against Heroica in total, not counting this one, of course, as we do not know if she is the one who released it."

"Of course, I apologize, Captain McColt, Gray Wizard. I shall withhold my admonitions toward our party leader until we are in less direct peril." This said, Arthur attempts to lay his Healing Staff upon Cronk, so as to heal the Paladin's wounds.

OOC: Cronk's stats don't reflect that he's taken damage.

[Peppermint_M]

Tesni grinned, "Ok Sasha, lets wittle this beast down with a few more blows eh?" Tesni and her new barbarian comrade both attacked the beast from the front row.

[Scorpiox]

"Yes, you hold your bloody admonitions! Can't you see? You're the one who is hampering the mission, you, not me!" Haldor vented his fury on the chaos beast before him, throwing blow after onto it with his rage, from the front row. Gray, watching this happen, decided to heal Cronk, who was looking worn.

Alexis gasped as the spike impales her and exhaled loudly as the good healed her. "Yes I'm fine." She manages. "I'll hold you to that, lets try again."

[CorneliusMurdock]

Grrr. Cronk will try to bash beast again from front row.

Round Two Rudimentary Chaos Beast Battle

Cronk v. Chaos Beast - Damage (40-14=26)

Tesni v. Chaos Beast - Shield

Sasha v. Chaos Beast - Extra-Critical Hit (([14x3]+17)x2=59)

Alexis v. Chaos Beast - Hit (33x2=66) (-1 ether)

Alexis v. Chaos Beast - Damage ([40/2]-3=17)

Arthur v. Cronk - Shield (+40 gold Arthur) (Stunned Chaos Beast)

Haldor v. Chaos Beast - Damage (40-2=38)

Gray heals Cronk - No Target

The battle continues. Cronk, brave and foolish as always, charges forth, but a blow to the helmet from the axe causes him to collapse. Tesni cries out encouragement... her team may need it at this point. Sasha flies forth with her axe and pushes the Chaos Beast back against the wall. She ducks on Alexi's command, who fires a successful spell at the Beast. The Beast rushes forth after the blast connects, showing aside Sasha and ramming the tip of his weapon once more into Alexis' side. Arthur fires a spell out of his hands that rocks the Chaos Beast back. Haldor begins to heal Alexis, but before he can, the axe head is buried in his back, and he falls.

"Damn it...once again, not paying attention." Arthur rolls his eyes. "Tensi, you have our only available Phoenix Essences, so I'll leave it to you whether or not you want to revive Cronk or the Nord. Gray Wizard, mind Healing Alexis, from the Back Row? Everyone else, keep doing what you're doing. If you want a heal and no Cleric is up, just give a call, I do have my Healing Staff." Arthur attempts to continue his success from last round by casting another Lightning spell from the Back Row.

[Masked Builder]

Alexis watches as two of her friends go down, and the doubless over from the pain. She manaeges to get out; "I may as well try again."

[Peppermint_M]

Tesni dumped the contents of a Pheonix Essence into Cronk's mouth. Then smiling sweetly she turned to face the chaos beast. "Sasha, lets try a repeat of our earlier success eh?"

(Do I get to attack as well as heal him? I forget...)

[Flipz]

(Do I get to attack as well as heal him? I forget...)

Ugh. Cronk's head hurts. Cronk thanks Tesni for reviving Cronk. From now on, Cronk will let friends healing Cronk have turn before Cronk bashes.

Cronk will bash beast from front row.

Round Three Rudimentary Chaos Beast Battle

Arthur v. Chaos Beast - Hit (23x2=46)

Gray Wizard Heal Alexis - Failure (6)

Tensi uses a Phoenix Essence on Cronk

Cronk v. Chaos Beast - Hit (35)

Sasha v. Chaos Beast - Damage

Alexis v. Chaos Beast - Damage

Alexis v. Chaos Beast - Damage

The battle continues. Arthur fires off off a lighting spell that fries the Chaos Beast. The Gray Wizard tries to heal Alexis, but the Chaos Beast's roar distracts him. Tesni flies to Cronk's side and pours a drink down his throat. The valiant Orc comes up hitting hard, stabbing at the Chaos Beast with a powerful blow that causes black liquid to start to pour from its side. The Beast tries, numerous times, to harm the gals of the party, but it can't seem to land a hit, and stumbles around. A bellow from the beast signifies the end of it's confusion, and the heroes are surprised to see that it has become even more dangerous.

"Careful, folks, it's really unstable now. Keep your distance if you possibly can. Gray Wizard, mind trying to Heal Alexis again, or would you rather I lend you my Healing Staff for Etherless healing?" Though still waiting for the Wizard's advice, Arthur charges up yet another Lightning Spell from the Back Row.

Battle Order (and suggested actions):

Arthur (Lightning Spell, back row)

Cronk (Attack, front row?)

Tensi (Attack, front row?)

Sasha (Attack, front row?)

Gray Wizard (Heal Alexis?)

Alexis (Darkness spell, back row?)

Alexis (Darkness spell, back row?)

"Everyone, I require your advice. Should Tensi revive Haldor with our last remaining Phoenix Essence, or should we save it for a more pressing challenge later on?"

[Peppermint_M]

"You should have come prepared. I am of more value battling right now."

[Flipz]

"You should have come prepared. I am of more value battling right now."

"So be it. Follow your instincts, then, Tensi. Gray Wizard, how about you? Do you require my Healing Staff?"

[Zepher]

"I'm not good for much else, might as well heal her. Tesni, make sure you're making your choice because it's the smartest thing to do, not because you want to get a turn at stabbing the Chaos Beast. Make smart choices. When you're in a party, you've got others depending on you. That's one of the hardest things for green heroes to learn, and many fail to ever learn it."

[Masked Builder]

"Well that wasn't awful, at least I wasn't hit. Let's try that attack again!"

[Flipz]

"I'm not good for much else, might as well heal her. Tesni, make sure you're making your choice because it's the smartest thing to do, not because you want to get a turn at stabbing the Chaos Beast. Make smart choices. When you're in a party, you've got others depending on you. That's one of the hardest things for green heroes to learn, and many fail to ever learn it."

"I very much agree, but circumstances have limited our options. Believe me, Gray Wizard, if we had another Phoenix Essence available, Haldor would be back on his feet by now. Unfortunately, we don't, and I'm certain there will be further battles to come. We must think ahead as well."

Following his own advice, Arthur cuts off his Lightning spell, and instead attacks physically, using the Staff of the Cultist Battlemage, from the Front Row.

[CorneliusMurdock]

OOC: I assume the 0 in my health was a typo. Do I get full ether back as well? How did my Bloody Pointy Stick get back in my inventory? Oops, maybe I shouldn't have pointed that out...

Be careful friends. Think lucky thoughts and let Ennoc guide you.

Cronk will bash beast from front row.

Cronk not want to nitpick but when did Arthur become party leader? Cronk like Arthur well enough but Cronk worries that Arthur not as stable as Arthur could be.

[Flipz]

Cronk not want to nitpick but when did Arthur become party leader? Cronk like Arthur well enough but Cronk worries that Arthur not as stable as Arthur could be.

"When both Haldor and you were unconscious, and someone needed to take charge. And I'm second in the party list, so there :P . I understand your reserations, but if you'd rather take charge, please just say so. We've already had an issue with poor communication that I'll have to patch up once our resident Shaman regains consciousness, and I'd rather avoid another if at all possible."

[Zepher]

OOC: I assume the 0 in my health was a typo. Do I get full ether back as well? How did my Bloody Pointy Stick get back in my inventory? Oops, maybe I shouldn't have pointed that out...

I fixed all the Cronk errors of the last round. You should not have dealt double damage as you're not encouraged, and I have removed the Bloody Pointy Stick. I don't believe you get back full ether, but if you'd like to run it by Sandsta, go ahead! I can't recall previous rulings. Thanks for being honest... even though it hurt you.

Round Four Rudimentary Chaos Beast Battle

Arthur v. Chaos Beast - Critical Hit (([7x2]+16)x2=30)

Cronk v. Chaos Beast - Hit (35)

Tensi v. Chaos Beast - Damage (40-11=29)

Sasha v. Chaos Beast - Shield (31x2=62)

Gray Wizard heals Alexis - No Heal (6)

Alexis v. Chaos Beast - Shield

Alexis v. Chaos Beast - Damage ([40/2]-3=17)

The battle rages. Arthur, perhaps hoping to prove his worth as potential leader, smashes the Chaos Beast with a palpable hit, which Cronk follows up. Tesni takes a heavy smack from the back of the Beast's axe, which plows into her stomach and knocks her onto her behind. Sasha hacks at the Beast created by her former friend, and with one swift motion decapitates it.

The Battle is Victorious.
