Heroica RPG - Quest #48: Death's Homecoming

[Fugazi]

Galen almost panicked the first time the Roots of Life had reached for him, but he was getting used to the feeling and welcomed the return of the soothing tendrils.

"Well done guys, now let's try not to kill those lesser Proggs too quickly as they might get replaced by Artillery or Mage Proggs!"

Galen repeats his front row attack on The Bleeding.

"Words currently cannot describe the amount of hatred I feel for you right now."

"Yeah we humans have a saying for that, 'What the eye can't see the heart feels'."

[Endgame]

A stray arrow suddenly and magically plunges into Proggs S and U.

[Dannylonglegs]

"Words currently cannot describe the amount of hatred I feel for you right now."

"I'd say the same about you mate, but I really don't care that much about you." Stated Sylph coldly. "Punii, fire."

Punii: Mix unlike jellies

Galen: Santa

Johon: V

"Hmm..."

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist

Jellies: Green x2, Blue x3, Red x2

Edited November 3, 2012 by Endgame

[Dannylonglegs]

"On the contrary, The Bleeding, you made it quite obvious what we were dealing with well before you leaped into the Arena: just another hateful creature bent on killing. I've eaten scarier things than you. Go ahead, try to attack me. What are you going to do? Bleed on me?"

"Alright men, we're in the final stretch. Punii, I trust you know what to do."

Order (if no one objects):

Punii: Mix unlike jellies

Galen: Z

Johon: Z

Elgar: W

Elgar: W

Isabella: Z

Lycan: Z

Sylph: Santa

Sylph: Blind Santa

(If a target dies, target next living Progg, followed by The Bleeding. If W is not dead by Elgar's hands, Isabella will switch her target to W. If he is still alive, Lycan will switch to W. If you Auto-play the next round, if the Bleeding is not blinded this round, to blind him will be my first two actions (right after Punii bombing the place) next round until I blind him.)

(OoC: Not that I'm complaining or anything, but I think Z should have 80 life left. )

Edited November 3, 2012 by Dannylonglegs

[Fugazi]

"Sylph, I'm not sure we're doing the right thing. Aren't we wasting too much effort on those lesser Proggs, before we're done with the greater evil?"

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar attacks proggs w from the back row twice, if progg w dies, he follows Slyphs plan.

[TheBoyWonder]

OOC: I should of earned 34 gold not 7, and have you been adding gold to Johon? He's a raider, so his shield should earn him gold.

[Endgame]

The Progg you mugged only had 7 HP left after the bomb and the Ravage, so you only get 7 gold. I completely forgot to give Johon gold, however, so I'll remedy that.

[Endgame]

QM Note: You guys are waaayyy too lucky with Punii. Did any of you give him a nostrum while I wasn't looking?

Round Thirteen of the Rally Battle

>Punii mixes unlike jellies: 6 is rolled: 40 damage to all enemies, disregarding SP!

>Galen VS Progg Z: Critical Hit (8x2=16+12=28x2=56-2=54 damage)

>Johon VS The Bleeding: Critical Hit (8x3=24+19=43-6=37 damage)

>Elgar VS The Bleeding (back): Damage (Too blind to do anything)

>Elgar VS The Bleeding (back): Hit (17+11=28-6=22 damage)

>Isabella VS The Bleeding (front): Critical Hit (8x2=16+14=30-6-6=18 damage)

>Lycan VS Progg Y (front): Miss

>Sylph blinds The Bleeding: Success!

>Sylph VS The Bleeding (back): Critical Hit (7x2+17=31-6=25 damage, 1 gold earned)

Punii slushes together too jellies, sending out a back-breaking boom. One of the Progg's is left ashen and incinierated by the blast, while the other one hangs on for dear life. galen quickly disposes of the last normal Progg, and the party shifts their attention to The Bleeding. They land a barrage of attacks on the blinded progg. Sylph blinds him yet again.

"You... No... not here! Doomed by an arcane sheet of paper...?! I'll... I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!"

"You've got him on the ropes!"

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist

Jellies: Green x2, Blue x2, Red x1

Round Thirteen of the Rally Battle

>Punii makes more jellies: No jellies made

>Galen VS Progg Z: Shield: Mug (8x3=24+12=36x2=72-6=66 damage, 66 gold earned)

>Johon VS The Bleeding: Hit (8+19=27-6=21) Knock Out!

Galen mugs The Bleeding, leaving him panting and gasping for breath. With a barbaric shout, a mighty leap, and a powerful swing, Johon slams his sword into the skull of The Bleeding. The beast rolls over onto it's side, bloodied, bruised, and defeated. The Bleeding pathetically tries to lick up is own blood as a final comfort before his death, but spits it out.

"...It has come to this, hasn't it...?

853 years... and I'm going to perish at the hands of these.... things. All because one of them knew how to read a magic piece of paper. Hahh. Haaah. Haaaaaah.

Look around you, "heroes." Roughly 32 Proggs here dead. Is extinguishing life like that make you feel better about yourselves? The weak are conquered and consumed. Life and nature dictate this. Why stand in our way...?

Still, I find it kind of funny. 1,415 Proggs left to go...! Heh... Heh... Heh..."

Sylph raises his merry bow and lets one last arrow fly loose. It sails right through the gap in the pathetic creature's face grid and kills it. His eyes roll up in his head and stop glowing. The beast's shall cracks open and falls to pieces from the abuse. All that was left of the soldier was his fleshy, slug-like black remains. Was this what all Proggs look like without their shells?

The Battle has finally been won! All heroes regain their respective amounts of EXP.

Party Leader, how will the loot be divided?

510 gold!

Journal Of The Bleeding: The Bleeding's personal journal.

Mead x3

Grand Tonic x2

The Bleeding's Hide: A bloodstained hide that belonge dot the now deceased The Bleeding. Weathered, but still in good condition. The wearer restores 10 HP and 5 ether for every enemy the wearer kills. Suitable for anyone, backwear.

Sword Fragment: A sword hilt. Currently useless.

QM Note: That came out to way more gold then I thought it would. Whoops. Also, since isabella has not contributed to the quest at all...

With the slaughter over with, isabella falls to her knees. Feeling her forehead, the party deduces she has a nasty fever. Sylph calls up The Roots of Healing to remedy it, but not even they could fix up Isbella. Punii scampers back to the Town hall and summons Hal.

"...This isn't a place where your friend can be sick. Having someone like that here, of all places, is dangerous. I'll escort her back and get another hero. You hold down the fort for a few hours. I'm going to have to break a few speed limits..."

4 hours later, Alexander stands with the party!

Edited November 4, 2012 by Endgame

[Capt.JohnPaul]

OOC: Endgame, I now have 0 gold, but have a Remedy, another potion, and a mead.

"Punii! I saw you around the Hall, avoiding some brooms if I recall. So from what I've heard, this Commerz girl was about to be executed? Do we have any leads to locate Rhodus?

[Bricksandparts]

"I'll donate 100 gold to the party for the hide."

OoC:

[Endgame]

"Please don't *wheeze* remind me of the broom. Uuugh.

Well, just up ahead is the Commerz bank. Rhodus is a lover of sadism and irony, so maybe there...?"

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: So did Rhodus take Ayla with him? Otherwise she should be with us correct?

[Endgame]

QM Note: Rhodus escaped with Ayla, she is not currently with you.

Edited November 3, 2012 by Endgame

I have a feeling that that hilt is from Combrys.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"Well, I think it's logical to head up to the Commerz Bank. After you all get your loot. What do you think Sylph?"

"Be most welcome Alexander! As you may be aware, Isabelle was ill and had to leave without further delay. No wonder she spoke so little during the time she was with us! It's good that you managed to make it here so swiftly, these Proggs are a force to be reckoned with. Anyway we do need to find Ayla before something bad happens to her, if it's not too late already. If Luosh is ever to rise up again, they will need economic leaders like her. And because she is rich, she will certainly be most grateful if we save her life!"

[Jedi master Brick]

The Commerz bank is the place to go, Alexander, you will be a great help here an extra healer cannot be a bad thing.

[Dannylonglegs]

"Good work team. Alright, let's divvy up the loot. Johon, since you asked nicely and payed nicely too, you may have the corpse formerly known as The Bleeding's hide. With 610 gold in the pot, everybody gets 102, except Alex, who gets 100. (not counting the late Darkhan.) A mead to Lycan, Galen, and Elgar. A grand Tonic to me, and because he lacks one, Alex. I will take the Journal and hold onto the sword Fragment. Does that sound fair? Punii, make some jellies. Oh, and Welcome, Paladin Alex. I'm sure you'll be a great asset to our team."

While waiting for his teams approval (or the updated stats) Sylph opened the journal and began reading.

"Loot seems fair to me, let's go to the bank of Commerz, we are running out of time!"

"Loot seems fair to me, let's go to the bank of Commerz, we are running out of time!"

"Very well," stated Sylph, aware of the time constraints they faced. After skimming the journal briefly for key words such as Death Progg (Rhodius) and Commerz and Arya, Sylph shut the book and returned it to his sack. "Punii, make more jelly." he commanded is a soothing tone "Let's move out to Commerz." He drank a grand tonic.

"I can only mix jellies in the thick of battle. Must be a defense mechanism..."

Sylph flips through the journal and picks out a few key passages.

Entry 01

Oh god help me. My first mission is going to be none other then the overthrowing of our own creators. I can't do it... Can I? Rhodus taught me how to spar well enough, but I've never actually been in the field before. They made us, so it would stand to reason they'd be pretty tough...

Entry 02

It's over. We're free. All of us... all Proggs... free! Oh, it was glorious. I've never felt the thrill of the kill before. I bulldozed through them, their pitiful little spells just bouncing off of me. Skewering them, one after another after another... Sweet, sweet payback.

Some blood splashed into my mouth during the entire thing. I think I'm developing a taste.

Entry 04

Forget acquiring a taste. Blood is delicious.

Entry 17

Rhodus has picked me to be part of the Royal's personal task force: the Gladius Unit! I think I've already gotten my pseudonym ready for my induction ceremony, too: The Bleeding.

Entry 885

So, we're finally moving off this frigid dump and finally conquering greener pastures. Or should I say Luosher pastures, eh? I make myself laugh.

QM Note: I'll move the quest on soon, got to build the next set.

OOC: I should have two meads, I bought one at the Market Place before I came."

"Sylph," Alexandre says in a friendly voice," Are you sure the loot is fair? I got quite a sum, and I didn't do a thing... I'm not complaining, and I'll greatly take it, though."
