Heroica RPG - Quest #48: Death's Homecoming

[Endgame]

Galen finds no boats. Craning his head over the dock's edge and looking under it, he sees the broken remains of several boats, with a few snapped oars and ripped sails sprinkled into the floating heap.

[Fugazi]

Relieved that they wouldn't have to navigate the choppy waters to reach the island or the grotto, Galen turned his attention to the bridge.

"I vote we head for the Manor. Something is afoot over there."

[Bricksandparts]

Johon glaces at the home, then pulls out his magnifying glass to inspect for traps around the home.

"I believe that we should try to sneak into the home rather than just barging in, for all we know, this could be the main base of the Proggs."

[Endgame]

Johon is unable to find anything out of the ordinary in terms of traps in or outside the manor. However, peeking through one of the windows, he briefly sees a progg-like silhouette.

Johon begins to climb the building, trying to reach the roof.

[Endgame]

Johon grasps at thin air, trying to climb a building roughly 450 to 550 yards away from him.

You haven't moved to building yet, silly.

Besides, the only way to it is via the Riht's Bridge...

[Dannylonglegs]

Sylph drank a Grand Tonic as he gestured the party to the Rhits Bridge.

"It appears that we can only make it there across, the bridge, but I find that route very risky. They can take it down in one quick swipe, plus that is where they would expect us to enter."

Johon looks around at the scrap pile of boat parts. He begins pulling out the parts and laying them on the ground.

"We'll make our own way there."

[Endgame]

Johon doesn't find enough pieces to make a boat sturdy or big enough to brave the choppy waters.

"It appears that we can only make it there across, the bridge, but I find that route very risky. They can take it down in one quick swipe, plus that is where they would expect us to enter."

Johon looks around at the scrap pile of boat parts. He begins pulling out the parts and laying them on the ground.

"We'll make our own way there."

"While I agree that it's likely a trap," started Sylph, "It would appear that we have no other option than to walk into it. Besides, I doubt they'd knock down the bridge. They need it too."

[Bricksandparts]

"Wait... The building is leaning against that rock... we should be able to climb through the back."

[Endgame]

Johon finds no way to get behind the tall Rock Ridge. After all, on the other side of it is the sea...

"That *wheeze* was quick..."

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist

Jellies: Green x3, Red x1, Blue x1

Walking away from the dock, the party walks through a short path and sees the spot marked as the "Riht's Bridge" on their map. Climbing up the foot of the hill the bridge was connected to, they soon reach the top of the hill. Clutching the safety rails on the side of the bridge, the party walks the bridge - albeit, very cautiously. A rapid was below them, and if they were to fall in, they'd be swept into the grotto...

Suddenly, the party can hear a metallic shuffle behind them. They whirl around to seea peculiar Progg. His shell was as green as an emerald and as clear as glass - they party could discern several organs just by looking at his side. He is armed head to tail with various blades, all of them looking sharp enough to cut a man in half effortlessly - and they seem to match one of the blades that plunged into poor Jerome! He appears to be from the same Progg subspecies as the Toxiproggs.

"Hello there! You've been very naughty, you lesser beings you."

The party recognizes his green eyes and his voice: He too was a member of the Gladius Unit!

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"Ha, we knew it. Time to slay some proggs!"

"He looks like a toxiprogg, so it looks like Sylph and I will be healing you and using remedies if you get in trouble."

[Endgame]

"I'm sure the snarky act has gotten a bit old, hasn't it? Too bad! I'm The Wound, member of the Gladius Unit: I believe my profession alone makes me infinitely better then you dull little things. Either way, I'll put it in a way a brick could understand:

I'm not even going to bother fighting you riff-raff. You see, you idiotic excuses for living creatures, I have several knives. The bridge is suspended by rope.

Is the math too hard for you, or shall I say it outright? You're cornered. The door is locked, barred, and fortified. There is currently a rapid below. Take one step towards me and I cut the bridge.

Capiche?"

Edited November 29, 2012 by Endgame

[Bricksandparts]

"Told'ja."

Johon ties his arm around the rope, motioning the rest of the party to do the same. Then, rather than waiting for The progg to cut the rope, Johon cuts the rope preventing the party from most likely falling into the water. With the bridge cut in half, the party should only swing half the height.

[Dannylonglegs]

"It would seem I spoke too soon, Johon. The Wound, how old are you?" Sylph asked.

(OoC: we passed out Johon's scrolls temporarily for the quest: Elgar should have a scroll of sleep, blind, seal, and confuse, and Alex should have a scroll of sealing.)

Noticing Johon's actions, Sylph, legitimately questioning Johon's sanity, grabbed onto the rope.

"That *wheeze* was quick..."

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist

Jellies: Green x3, Red x1, Blue x1

The Wound notices Johon's futile attempt at outsmarting him and laughs.

"Let me tell you something, lad. Your scheme was actually rather impressive: you show more intelligence then most of these humans. Not to mention you executed Rhodus! Truly, you impress me... as much as a filthy rat could, anyway.

Anyway, back to story time. I may be a Toxiprogg, but I don't shoot poison - all that comes out is pressurized air. The first few years of my life were... rather tough, really. My parents saw me as a defect because I couldn't make poison, beat me senseless repeatedly. It was as close to a living hell as you could get _ I was never let outside, into the world. But, I discovered that by placing the hilts of objects in the orifice in the tentacle where the poison would come out, well... I had pressurized air cannons all over my body without realizing it. Needless to say, my parents were found about a week after the discovery with stakes in their chests. Not to boast - oh who am I kidding, of course it is to boast - I have the aim of a sniper and a range of 300 feet. In other words, I can snip both ends of the bridge in an instant.

Like I said, though, it was a good plan."

While explaining his childhood, The Wound's mask of superiority wavers. His air of arrogance had changed into something else: an aura of tainted memories and a broken childhood. However, he soon goes back to his normal demeanor. With his mask back on he turns to face Sylph.

"900 years, why?"

Edited November 29, 2012 by Endgame

[Dannylonglegs]

"900 years, why?"

"Oh, no particular reason." stated Sylph 'glumly' "If you want to kill us, why haven't you yet. Is there anything we can do to convince you not to kill us? And, why is your carapace glass?" Asked Sylph. He returned the arrow he had been holing to its sheath, seemingly too discouraged by the notion of the Wound's cannons to even bother holding the projectile. As he slid the arrow down, he removed the Sleep Scroll from his bag and began reading under his breath, making it look like he was praying, nudging Elgar to do the same.

Edited November 29, 2012 by Dannylonglegs

[Endgame]

The Wound seems completely unfazed by Sylph's trick.

"You think I've gone 900 years without seeing that trick? Oh, you stupid animal."

With that final eloquent statement, The Wound takes his front two arms and slashes one end of the bridge.The bridge falls instantly, nearly touching the water. All of the heroes fall off the near vertical bridge, plunging into the rushing waters below. The sheer height they fell from nearly knocked them unconscious as soon as they hit the water. Those who remained concious plunged several feet below the surface, the rushing currents preventing them from swimming up or away. Only Johon remained on the bridge. He clings to the safety rails for dear life, slowly trying to climb them like a ladder. The Wound laughs at the feeble display and lets two more knives fly. They whizz through the air, eventually piercing through the rope on the other end of the bridge. The entire Riht's Bridge - and Johon with it - plunge into the water below, and get swept away by the rushing currents.

You will be receiving PMs later today. Please do not post in the Quest thread, for the Quest will continue via PM for a short amount of time.

Knowing there would be time for group hugs and the sharing of stories soon, the party looks around at their surroundings - and see two more familiar figures!

"Help. Please."

By his missing arm, the party identifies him as the Informant Toxiprogg.

"H-h-h-h-heroes! Help *wheeze* us... Waaahhh..."

The two proggs sit inside a jail cell.

"Good idea. Punii, can you break yourself out?"

Alexandre hands Punii his blast jellies.

"Good question. It's a shame you already drank that tonic Elgar. I think we may need you to bend these bars. Punii, are there any guards with, well, you know, keys?"
