Heroica RPG - Quest #48: Death's Homecoming

[Dannylonglegs]

"Well, this could go several ways. If Galen took the blow, he would die. If Alex took it, he would have 22 health left, If Elgar took it, he's have 2. What do you all think?"

Edited November 4, 2012 by Dannylonglegs

[Fugazi]

"There are a number of other types of hits I could absorb and still hang on to consciousness. But we certainly don't want Alex to lose this much health so soon. I'm not sure which option would be the most logical, but if it's my turn I'm ready to fall."

[Dannylonglegs]

"Alex, you'd still have the most use even at 22 hp, so, you should take this blow I think. Does anyone object?"

"Since there seem to be no objections, Alex will take this blow."

[Endgame]

Rhodus this time opts for an uppercut, a powerful blow that starts at Alexandre's waist and heads upwards, eventually cutting his chin. The pillar bends slightly from the might of the blow, and alexandre coughs up some blood.

"I do wish you hadn't killed The Bleeding. He would've loved this."

"It's a trap!"

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist

Jellies: Green x2, Blue x1

6 is rolled: Ice Claw

"Are you ready to give in? Or do you wish to prolong the pain that is the remainder of your existence?"

Rounds Survived: 6/9

[Dannylonglegs]

"Goodbye Galen." Stated Sylph simply, his calm voice betraying remorse.

[Jedi master Brick]

"Come at me, I will not stand idle while my friends fall, I will take the hit!"

[Dannylonglegs]

"Come at me, I will not stand idle while my friends fall, I will take the hit!"

"This deals continuing damage. It will keep dealing damage until the one who's suffering from it dies. You would die in...Hmm. Actually, come to think of it, you could take the damage. Fine. Since you want it, Progg, Elgar (the elf) will take this damage. Galen, you can take later damage if an one is rolled."

[Fugazi]

"No Elgar, it's my turn. Rhodus will basically waste all of his power on a barely standing target. Plus no chronic damage will handicap any of you for the next rounds. It will give us all a better chance to make it through this."

Galen spits in Rhodus' direction.

"Hit me with your best shot, cow catcher face."

[Endgame]

Out of the corner of their eyes, the party see Lycan groggily get up. he looked around, as if confused about his surroundings. The Lycanthrope's gaze falls on Rhodus, and in the werewolf's mind, the situation re-registers. Common sense, however, doesn't. Furious over the beating he was handed, with an unearthly howl, Lycan rushes the murderous and massive Progg. The beast absentmindedly grabs him in is fist and holds him at eye level. Lycan struggles to break free, but cannot rid himself of the Progg's ludicrously tight grip.

"What? Did that little haymaker knock off a few IQ points?"

With that, Rhodus slams Lycan into the wall. A thud is heard as Lycan's skull smashes against the wall. When Rhodus pulls him back, tufts of hair fall from the lycanthrope. he shrinks down, and his muscles stop bulging. He reverts back to his human form, bloodied and battered. Without a further word and nothing but a shrug, Rhodus skids the unconscious Lycan across the tiled floor, back where he was.

"Back to business."

Rhodus clenches his fist, and a slug of icy energy emits from his shoulder. it crawls it's way up his arm until it reaches his fist. It envelops his entire claw and coats it in a thick layer of sparkling ice. Rhodus punches Galen in the chest, the frigid punch, knocking the Rogue out.

"This keeps getting better."

"OK Elgar, what you didn't get last round you'll get now I'm afraid. Fortunately, it means you get to live longer. We only need to hold on just a little longer."

Rhodus this time encases his stalagmite hand in ice. A freezing left hook hits Elgar right in the ribcage. Elgar begins to shiver profusely, his chattering teeth making quite the racket.

"This still isn't even close to what I lived in for 1,000 years, but I digress."

"Elgar, Alex, and I will take this hit. Hurry up Monster." Stated Sylph in a too calm voice.

"I am not confused, the thing with the power is a sadistic prat, that understimates, courge bravery and skill. The thing with the power is so absorbed in his game he won't understand what will hit him when his pointless game backfires on him. There is more than power."

"Hit me!" Sylph shouted, louder. Blood dripped from the bottom holes of his mask.

Raising his tail high into the air, Rhodus plunges it's freezing tip into Sylph. The cold penetrates any armor he is wearing.Sylph coughs and sputters and hacks up blood, staining the floor a hideous blood red.

"It's a trap!"

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist

Jellies: Green x2, Blue x1

Rounds Survived: 9/9!

Reveling in the pain he was causing, Rhodus is too busy absorbed in his own ego to realize what was happen. The next few seconds were a blur. A silhouette wielding a Halberd suddenly bursts into the room - Hal! The Toxiproggs also penetrate the floor. While Rhodus is occupied with the madman wielding a Halberd, the Toxiproggs cut Punii loose and hand him 2 jellies. Punii scurries underneath Rhodus' tail and mixes the two jellies together. it hardly created a blast, but it was enough to icninerate the ropes binding them. The Toxiproggs pass the heroes all their equipment. Now armed, and quite frankly pissed off with Rhodus, the 10 fighters surround the gargantuan beast.

"No... NO.

I REFUSE to be the subject of HUMILIATION yet AGAIN!"

With an unearthly roar Rhodus lets loose a torrent of poison - the same one that knocked out the heroes - at Hal. His heavy armor keeps him from being sweeped off of his feet completely, but he still struggles with the gas. he falls to the floor, having a spasm. Rhodus lets an even stronger torrent at the rest of the gang. the Toxiproggs are stunned, and the heroes are forced to their knees.

"THere iS a sTaircAse tHat lEads tO the tOp fLoor oF tHe BaNK. WE wIll sEttle aLL aCCounTs tHere. fOr nOw, I bId you adiEU."

With that, the Gargantuan Progg vanishes into the gas he himself had spewed.

When the party regains their composure, Hal is still suffering from his spasms.

"Sooo... I bet you want an explanation to this madness, huh?"
