Heroica RPG - Quest #44: My Best Friend

[Myrddyn]

Erik scowls at Riot Leader Zephyroth, and attacks from the back row.

[Quarryman]

Battle order North:

Xut

Columbus

Namyrra

Nerwen

Namyrra

Thalion

"Xut, go hit Boreal again."

"Columbus, please use your Lightning Bomb to bombard the Werehyena from the back row."

"I shall cast a Darkness spell at Boreal from the back row, and with my second action I shall use a Phoenix Essence on Thalion, can't have the little guy miss out on all the fun in his first battle!"

"Nerwen, it would be splendid if you could attack the Werehyena, Columbus' bombardment should take care of the others."

[Chromeknight]

"I shall cast a Darkness spell at Boreal from the back row, and with my second action I shall use a Phoenix Essence on Thalion, can't have the little guy miss out on all the fun in his first battle!"

I also have phoenix essences, Ms Uq, and since you can use darkness to damage the attackers, perhaps I should revive our companion and you attack instead.

If Namyrra changes her action Nerwen uses phoenix essence on Thalion.

If not, Nerwen attacks Werehyena rioter, with staff, from front row.

[Quarryman]

"Nerwen, that would indeed be a much better solution, thank you!"

"Xut, new target, go hit the Werehyena instead."

"I shall cast two Darkness spells at Boreal from the back row."

"Now, if everything goes according to plan this should ensure that we take out everyone except Boreal."

[Sandy]

>Magellan vs. Ogre Rioter Eurose - Hit (Eurose: 282 health-15 dmg=267 health)

The ogre grabs Raven and Guts and smashes them together so that the rogue is knocked out and Guts loses 15 health. Recovering quickly, Guts ravages the enemies, causing 68 damage to Eurose and felling the hulking ogress, while stealing 45 gold from them both. He then causes 124 more damage to Eurose. He recovers a total of 9 health thanks to the Lifestealer's power. Mizuki deals 62 damage to Eurose, but the riot leader defeats her in return. Magellan causes 15 more damage to the riot leader.

Having been left alone, Eurose makes a run for it and joins Nothus's gang in the south with 267 health remaining.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!

Guts gains one third of a level of experience while Magellan gains half of a level. Mizuki and Raven regain consciousness with one health. The enemies drop a Venom, a Deadly Venom, some Smelling Salts, a Wrench, a Phoenix Essence and a Water Bomb.

Party leaders, post the order of actions. Everyone, choose your actions and targets.

[Flare]

Same battle order!

Benji first attacks Nothus, and then the Minotaur Rioter. Both times from the back row.

Pizarro continues his attack against the strumpet.

[Darkdragon]

"That went well, Dreyrugr now that you are feeling better you can concentrate on the Concerned Mother."

Battle Order (W)

Cannoneer

Cinna

Hybros

Erik

Hybros

Dreyrugr

Cinna attacks Riot Leader Zephyroth with Darkness from the back row.

Cannoneer Cortes bombards Sargassan Rioter with Ice Bomb from the back row.

[Scubacarrot]

Sandy, Guts has Ravage, not Gold Reaper, which would mean Guts has 29 Health, and Eurose should have lost a bit more Health (64 from ravage + killing the ogre, + 62 from Mizuki, so at 271 Health), Also he and Mizuki should no longer be encouraged, hastened and lucky, I think. And just wondering, have you been rolling for Benji's sudden deaths, and Sarick's Lucky effect?

Guts uses a Grand Potion on himself, Mizuki and Raven, and takes a Nostrum, Smelling Salts and Mead.

"Carvenhall, we're coming your way!"

Guts scoops up all the loot, to divide later after all battles are done. "Mizuki, Raven, you did good, and I'll make sure you will get a share later. Make sure you follow my instructions next time though, Raven, and you might avoid knocking yourself out."

Guts then runs towards the Southern Battle. Followed by Magellan and Mizuki. "Raven, if you wish to help elsewhere, make your choice."

"Right. Carvenhall, order the Cannoneer to bombard something using his water bomb! Since we are here, you'll need a new battle order. Mizuki, attack the Minotaur Rioter, Magellan, use your Fire Bomb to Bombard the Porcish Rioter!"

Guts himself attacked Eurose twice from the front row, with Lifestealer.

Suggested Battle order:

Pizarro

Magellan

Guts

Guts

Sarick

Benji

Benji

Raven (?)

[Sandy]

Sandy, Guts has Ravage, not Gold Reaper, which would mean Guts has 29 Health, and Eurose should have lost a bit more Health (64 from ravage + killing the ogre, + 62 from Mizuki, so at 271 Health), Also he and Mizuki should no longer be encouraged, hastened and lucky, I think. And just wondering, have you been rolling for Benji's sudden deaths, and Sarick's Lucky effect?

QM Note: For some reason I constantly think of Guts as an assassin as well. But I fixed the situation now. Eurose is now at 267 health, because Magellan also hit her. I did roll for Benji's assassinations, but forgot about Sarick's lucky-effect. It is fixed now as well.

Thanks for checking after me, it really is necessary with so many variables!

[JimBee]

Hybros draws his two throwing knives, and flings them at Zephyroth from the back row.

[Raven Brickroft]

Still dizzy from getting knocked out from the last battle, Raven rushes in to help with the southern party.

I'm coming with you Guts! Can't let my savior down.

Raven Attacks the Goblin Rioter from the front row.

[Xarrzan]

OOC: Did the two of you miss my post?

OOC: Going through a move and might not be able to post until Monday. Party leader or sub-party leader can decide my actions if I respond too slowly.

William and Sarick? Your battle actions?

"Hey, guys, maybe you could come and help us out here, since Eurose just came and joined the battle against us? Also... William and Sarick please speak up and make your battle actions!"

QM Note: I will start the southern battle now. If Xarrzan and VolcanicPanik do not post within the duration of these battles, they will be kicked out of the quest.

Sarick inhaled his Smelling Salts. The rush he felt was intoxicating but also unsettling. His blood which normally moved sluggishly was pumping quite fast. He then continued his attack against the Minotaur Rioter from the back row with frost magic.

[Vash the Stampede]

Dreyrugr feeling replenished from the potion attacks the concerned mother from the front row.

[Sandy]

QM Note: I apologize, Xarrzan. I totally missed your post about absence.

Cortes loads up an ice bomb and bombards the concerned mother and the Sargassan into oblivion, while dealing 20 damage to Zephyroth. The riot leader hits Cinna for 12 damage. Hybros tosses his throwing knife at the riot leader, causing 28 damage. Zephyroth also attacks Erik, causing 15 damage. Hybros throws another knife, this time hitting for 36 damage. Dreyrugr also courageously hits Zephyroth for 7 damage.

With no one to back him up, Riot Leader Zephyroth takes to his wings and joins Boreal's team on the northern front with 195 health left.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!

Hybros earns one third of a level, Cinna, Erik and Cortes gain one half, and Dreyrugr gains one full level. The enemies drop a remedy, a mead, a Sharkskin Armor, some smelling salts, a grand potion and a smoke bomb.

The heroes from the eastern front join the battle! The two cannoneers spend a moment to craft a Fire Bomb each. Guts ravages all the enemies so that all except the two leaders and the lizardman are defeated. Nothus loses 136 health, and Eurose and the lizardman 68 health. Guts earns 97 gold which he tosses into his already gigantic pouch. Guts then attacks Eurose again, cleaving 124 more health. In his turn, Benji deals a whopping 282 damage to Nothus, but the fiery riot leader responds with his Purging Flare spell (oh, the irony!) which erases all temporary effects from all heroes and knocks out Alexander and Raven. Benji loses 4 health, Guts and Mizuki 13 health and the others 7 health. Sarick hastens himself, only to be attacked by the lizardman for 4 damage. Nothus takes out William as well, but Mizuki avenges her companions by dealing 31 damage to the riot leader.

Three enemies remain on the south, facing four active heroes and two Bonaparte cannoneers.
