Heroica RPG - Quest #48: Death's Homecoming

[Endgame]

QM Note: I wanted to make it so the two effects would not get confused from Venom of decay and Sword of Decay, so I changed the venom of Decy's effect to Crumbling.

Speaking of which, I'll go and modify your inventories to reflect this.

(OoC: Thanks! What effect does it have though?)

[Endgame]

Normally, 3 damage and -1 SP. However, the Deadly Venom overrides Crumbling's output, so in this case Rhodus takes 10 damage and loses 1 SP per round (plus any Decay Johon places on him.)

Round Five of the Showdown on Memory Lane

>Punii mixes unlike jellies: No blast!

>Galen VS Ice Blade A (front): Special Damage (Deep Freeze: Galen is Weak, Fragile, and has begun to Shiver)

>Johon VS Ice Blade A (front): Miss

>Lycan VS Ice Blade A (front): Critical Hit (9x2=18+10=28-3=25 damage)

>Sylph heals Elgar: Roots of Life (23 HP restored to all, all negative effects removed!)

>Elgar VS Blade A (back): Aim (14 damage)

>Sylph VS Rhodus A (back): Miss

>Alex VS Rhodus A (front): Hit (8+15=23x2=46 damage)

The battle continues. Punii tries mixing unlike jellies, but the two he picked were froze over. With a groan he discards them. Galen attacks the blade, but it's frosty presence makes him stop dead in his tracks, shivering. Johon swings at the chilly blade but misses. Lycan makes a decent scrape. Sylph can see that the party was being sent into dire straits, so he calls forth the roots of life. The entangle and wrap around the party, nurturing them before receding back into the tile ground. Once again a root seems to wave good-bye before going back into the tile. Elgar and Sylph draw their bows. Sylph misses, but Elgar scores a lucky shot. Alex's blade seems to rend through Rhodus's armor, defying it completely. The Progg curses.

Jellies: Green x2, Blue x1

Edited November 9, 2012 by Endgame

[Capt.JohnPaul]

It's Rhodus B! (In his special, it says "2OO" health, not 200.) Front row!

OOC: Endgame, I should've done 46 damage as I'm encouraged.

[Fugazi]

"Well spotted, Alexandre!"

Galen attacks Ice Blade B with his katana from the front row.

[Dannylonglegs]

"Well spotted, Alexandre!"

"Indeed!" agreed Sylph. "Alright, plan this round is much the same as the last, but this time I won't be occupied healing! Alex, you're best first, everyone else, target the blade until it's destroyed! Once it's destroyed, we can focus our attention on Rhodus himself! Hopefully it'll be destroyed before Elgar and I take our turns (preferably by Johon), but if not, he and I will finish it."

Order A:

Punii: Make jellies

Alex: Rhodus B, Front Row

Galen: Blade B, Front Row

Lycan: Blade B, Front Row

Johon: Blade B, Front Row *If Blade B is destroyed by this point in the order, switch to Order B. (This matters in case I roll a 6; I want to be as far down on the order as possible) Also, Assume that if the Blade B is destroyed, attacks targeting Blade B will instead target Rhodus B.)

Sylph: Blade B, Back Row

Elgar: Blade B, Back Row

Sylph: Blade B, Back Row

Order B:

Punii: Make jellies

Alex: Rhodus B, Front Row

Galen: Blade B, Front Row

Lycan: Blade B, Front Row

Johon: Blade B, Front Row

Elgar: Rhodus B, Back Row

Sylph: Rhodus B, Back Row

Sylph: Rhodus B, Back Row

Round Six of the Showdown on Memory Lane

>Punii makes jellies: Blue jelly made!

>Alex VS Rhodus B (front): Miss

>Gaeln VS Blade B (front): Miss

>Lycan VS Blade B (front): Miss

>Johon VS Blade B (front): Hit (8+18=27-3=24 damage, 6 damage decay placed.)

>Sylph VS Blade B (back): Special Damage: Deep Freeze (Sylph is now Weak, Fragile, and Shivering)

>Elgar VS Blade B (back): Hit (11+18=29x2=68 damage)

>Sylph VS Rhodus B (back): Damage (27/2=14x2=28 damage)

The battle rages on. Punii brews a blue jelly, butAlex, Galen, and Lycan all miss in their assaults. Johon hits the blade with a mighty sword bash. Sylph tries to shoot the blade, but it stabs him in the helmet. A shiver runs up Sylph's spine as he feels cold and pathetic. Rhodus laughs harshly at the sight of Sylph on his knees, shivering. Elgar scores a powerful blow on the Blade, shattering it. Sylph attacks Rhodus, but he gets hit by a massive left hook from Rhodus' stalagmite hand. The damage takes it's toll on the druid and he falls unconcious.

"Argh. I'm not sure we can make it though this without our Druid."

Galen throws his Shuriken at Rhodus B from the back row.

[Jedi master Brick]

"Johon, revive Slyph. We need him if we are to survive. Rest of us on Rhodus B."

Elgar attacks Rhodus from the back row

"Johon, maybe you should save your Phoenix Essence for another round, in case this get's bad."

"Slyph needs to be revied he can heals us if we are knocked out anyway."

Round Eight of the Showdown on Memory Lane

>Punii makes jellies: Red jelly made

>Alex VS Rhodus B (front): Damage (27-13=14 damage)

>Johon revives Sylph

>Elgar VS Rhodus B (back): Special Damage (Regenerate: the final ice blade is created)

>Lycan VS Rhodus B (back): Special Damage (Jab Massacre)

>Sylph VS Rhodus B (back): Damage (30/2=15 damage)

The cruel battle with the even cruler Progg rages on. The heroes are struggling to hold their ground against the mighty beast, and the battle was looking grim. And this Progg was the weakest of his brothers: if they were to surivve this fight, what horrors would the other princes have in store?! Sylph succumbs yet again, falling unconcious soon after his revival.

[Dannylonglegs]

Sylph rolled over, unconscious, soundly defeated.

[Fugazi]

"Right. This is bad, none of us can afford another of those 'specials'. Actually if he pulls that trick again he knocks us all out at once. Quest over, return to Heroica Hall in shame. So the priority is to heal ourselves, with a token jab at the enemy to avoid free hits. I would also drink a Nostrum if I have a chance, to reduce the odds of getting pummelled again. My understanding is that Rhodus will no longer be able to throw specials our way when his last blade is gone. Perhaps I'm wrong about that, but anyway in my opinion the blade is still our priority after we're healed."

[Endgame]

QM Note: Curses! They way Rhodus is worded makes it so, yes, he will be unable to use Special Damage when his ice Blade is gone.

Curse you, naughty heroes! *shakes fist*
