Heroica RPG - Quest #48: Death's Homecoming

[Endgame]

QM Note: It's the "Spider's Curse", so no.

[Fugazi]

Unfortunately, this curse drains your max HP. A soma would be ineffective in comparison...

"Will the Spider's Blessing return us to our initial max health?"

[Endgame]

"Will the Spider's Blessing return us to our initial max health?"

"I'm afraid not, but you Max HP will be restored when the battle ends."

[Fugazi]

OoC: I have another question!

This:

Life Steal: Transfers half of 3 random heroe's HP to himself, disregarding SP and row.

Would it be half of heroes' max HP or remaining HP? In other words, can it or can it not KO the player?

[Capt.JohnPaul]

OOC: Sorry for not being here, was away. My holiday trip is done now though.

Aranoc, front row.

OoC: I have another question!

This:

Life Steal: Transfers half of 3 random heroe's HP to himself, disregarding SP and row.

Would it be half of heroes' max HP or remaining HP? In other words, can it or can it not KO the player?

QM Note: It cannot possibly knock out a player - it drains from Remaining HP. Unless you have one, in which case, your HP will round down to zero.

OoC: My mother just passed around 6:00. I probably won't be on for a day or two. I'm not really in the mood to talk, just really annoyed at these two recent deaths in my family.

Oh geez, Bricksandparts. My deepest sympathies to you and your family - take as many days as you need, and don't worry at all about the Quest. I can have Danny control your actions, if you'd like.

Yeah, Bricksandparts, don't worry about the quest. I'll help your character progress while your gone. I'm really sorry for your loss.

[Fugazi]

OoC: I'm very sorry to hear this news Bricksandparts, please accept my sincere condolences. Take the time you need to deal with your loss.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

OOC: I'm real sorry too. Accept my sympathies as well.

"This was a solid round, let's keep it up! The sooner we release Aranoc from his slavers, the sooner we can fight against the real enemy."

Galen attacks Aranoc twice from the back row.

OoC: Aranoc should also be Crumbling, right?

[Dannylonglegs]

(OoC: Is the Blind up for 2 more rounds, or just 1 more? (It should last an extra round because of my goggles, right?))

The Elder desperately tries to flatten the party. He takes several good swings and make sseveral attempts to suck the life right out of them, but it is to no avail. He nearly succumbs to his wounds when a powerful shank from the wind spirit knocks him unconcious. Venom leaks out of his gaping maw, and some thread lies on the ground... The trial brew's effects wear off, and Sylph feels much stronger from the entire ordeal.

The Battle is Victorious!

"Oh.. no..."

"You didn't...!?"

The massive spider's eyes flutter open when he hears his children's voices. Tears stream down his face and his voice is a raspy whisper.

"Morxes...?! Lyrol...?! Uuurgh... Oh, Mercutio, what have I done?!"

"Welcome back, Elder. "

"You did nothing. The mind-worm sewn by the evil Progg Regret forced your actions. You are not to blame for his foul desecrations. I am the Druid, Sylph, and this is my party of heroes from Heroica. The rogues, Galen and Lycan; the muscle, Alex and Johon, and the spellcaster Elgar. We have come here to rid Luosh and the forest of the evil Proggs, (Not you, Punii) and set right their wrongs. We freed your children. We hear the Regret made you imprison a blacksmith. Could you release him?"

Sylph hands each party member 20 gp, Galen the whip, and Alex the poison.

"Thank you Sylph, this is a worthy weapon. I will... fight my fears and transfer them to our enemies!"
