Heroica RPG - Quest #48: Death's Homecoming

[Dannylonglegs]

"It's all right Sylph. It's really difficult to determine our priority. On one hand the Blade increases Rhodus' stats, and we have to defeat this one before he happens to generate another one. On the other hand, if we manage to kill Rhodus the Blade(s) will be automatically defeated. So I guess the main incentive to defeat this Blade is to avoid multiple Blades stacking their effects and making Rhodus invulnerable."

"Well we can't do any substantial damage to Rhodus until his Sword's gone. His defense is through the roof. Johon and I are attacking him to get him to decay and Alex is attacking him because his ability to puncture and high SP would be wasted on a puncturing, low-SP object. Everyone else should focus on removing his source of defense/battle-mate."

Round Two of the Showdown on Memory Lane

>Punii makes jellies: 6 is rolled: 1 of every jelly is made!

>Galen VS Ice Blade D (front): Miss

>Elgar VS Ice Blade D (back): Critical Hit (11x2=22+18=30-3=27x2=54 damage)

>Lycan VS Rhodus D (front): Critical Hit: (9x2=18+10=28-13=15 damage)

>Sylph heals Johon: No heal

>Johon VS Rhodus D (front): Special Damage (Impale: 40-6=34 damage!)

>Sylph VS Rhodus D (back): Hit (7+17=23-18=5 damage, Crumbling effect transferred)

>Alex VS Rhodus D (front): Special Damage (Impale: 40-13=27 damage!)

The battle continues. Punii uses the ice and mixes is with some powder to create a napalm. Galen swings at the Ice Blade but Rhodus yanks it out of the way - into the path of Lycan's and Elgar's attacks! Sylph is shivering too much, his body rattling and his teeth chattering. He fails to pull off a heal. Sylph manages to get off a meager hit.The arrow hardly effects him but the venom does enter his bloodstream.

"Well done, we got rid of that Blade without anyone getting maimed. I can tell you that we need to target Rhodus C, there's something slightly different about him"

"It seems you have underestimated us Rhodus, I know it is too early to call but it looks like you are already hurt. Is this the best you can do? Your attack on here will be your downfall."

"Keep at it, we'll prevail even if it must take us a week. His defences are growing weaker by the minute, and eventually he will stop regenerating that Blade of his.

This time I believe that all but Rhodus A are illusions."

"You have good eyes." Stated Sylph, impressed, "Rhodus A it is!" "Johon, good work with that shot! He's finally decaying! Elgar, great work on that critical hit! Let's focus on the blade! I sense that Rhodus only has enough ether for one more Sword after this one; once he regenerates another it'll be his last. Alex, you'll go last in order because, hopefully by then the sword'll be gone and you'll be healed. (and with the sword gone, you gain the full benefit of all your SP)" Sylph healed Elgar and Alex.

Order:

Punii: Mix unlike jellies

Galen: Blade A, Front Row

Johon: Blade A, Front Row

Lycan: Blade A, Front Row

Sylph: Heal Elgar, Back Row

Elgar: Blade A, Back Row

Sylph: Heal Alex, Back Row

Alex: Rhodus A, Front Row
