Heroica RPG - Quest #48: Death's Homecoming

[Endgame]

"When Punii washed up, I made the mistake of making eye contact with him. You see, the medbay, where I was getting Intel, is just beyond that door. Punii washed up, I made eye contact, they put two-and-two together.

And now we're both here.

And no, there is no key."

Elgar lacks a Garnet, so he can't bend the bars. Also, see what Punii said above about explosions and magic.

"Well, how'd you get in there?"

[TheBoyWonder]

"We need to break Punii out. Any ideas apart from Magic or explosions which would kill them.

"Well, I want to know how they got in there to start with." stated Sylph, annoyed. "If there's no door and no key, did a mage make this jail-cell?"

[Endgame]

"There are some insane proggs in there. So, they have a Progg Guardian in there to keep them in check - and to keep them from killing the nurse. When he found out that I was a traitor, he grabbed us, the nurse drugged us with something... and we woke up in here. I don't think this prison was meant to be exited or entered when the prisoners were inside... and I have no clue how it is here."

"There are some broken ship parts over *wheeze* there. maybe you can use 'em?"

Punii points to a secluded corner of the room. Sifting through the junk, they create an orderly pile. Lycan also rips some sticky Oozeling remains off his clothes and puts them into the pile.

-Big plank

-2 little planks

-Average-sized barrel

-2 oars

-Piece of a sail

-Brown bungee cord

-Empty bottle

-Green Rope

-2 Oozeling remains (can be used as adhesive.)

QM Note: Time to get creative, 48ers!

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: Are we actually building with legos, or are these pieces theoretical?

First some preparations:

Johon uses his pick axe to mine some stone from the wall, while be careful not to disturb the stalactites.

"First off, we need to block off that door. We can also use some rocks as projectiles."

[Endgame]

QM Note: Theoritical.

Johon only gets one stone the size of his fist out, knowing too much more and the two proggs would die.

"Why would you block the door to the medbay? may be our only way out of this cavern..."

"Why would you block the door to the medbay? may be our only way out of this cavern..."

"Unless anyone has any ideas, eroding the rock with water magic may be an option. I'm still unsure as to what we can do without releasing the stalactites."

[Bricksandparts]

"Hmm. We could use the stalactites to our advantage."

Johon draws out his Idea in the dirt trying to explain his concept.

"We can use leverage to bust the bars. We will try and hit stalactites into the barrel to use as force."

Concept

"Hmmm... That's so crazy that it might just work." Stated Sylph, intrigued. "I can't see what you drew in the sand though."

[Endgame]

QM Note: B&P, can you please elaborate in words or make the picture public?

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: Oh, oops. I believe this should work.

[Endgame]

QM Note: So basically you're filling the barrel with rock and smashing it into the bars?

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: Using the force of the falling stalactites to break the bars, freeing our friends.

[Endgame]

QM Note: I can allow that... just come up with a way to drop a stalagtite on the barrel without also dropping the ones in the cell.

[Bricksandparts]

"Hmm... Sylph, try and summon some vines to hang onto the stalictites in the cell, then we can throw a rock or have a vine jiggle a stalactite loose onto the barrel."

"Alas, I cannot." sighed Sylph. "But Elgar can. Let's do it."

"Hmm... Sylph, try and summon some vines to hang onto the stalictites in the cell, then we can throw a rock or have a vine jiggle a stalactite loose onto the barrel."

"We can either tie a pickaxe to an oar and hope to reach the stalactite that way, or I can throw the Goblin Wrench at it -- I'm good at aiming with throwing weapons."

[TheBoyWonder]

"I can also help with my Throwing Dagger."

[Bricksandparts]

Johon picks up the stone he mined.

"I'd rather not have one of you guys possibly lose your weapon, let me throw this rock at it. It was a sort of sport at my second home."

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Alexandre examines the drawing in the dirt. "Impressive, I'd never have thought of such a thing. Though I'm not sure how good a rock will be at bringing down the stalactite. I thing the pickaxe or using a vine will be better."

[Endgame]

Johon lobs a rock at the Stalagmite. It falls squarely into the barrel of the contraption he made, the force from the falling stalagmite causing the other side to flip up like a demented teeter-totter. The sturdy plank smashed through the bars, freeing the two prisoners! The two Proggs stroll out of their prison, relived they had their freedom back.

"Thanks a lot. With my missing arm, I'm not exactly built for combat, but swing by the burrow later and we'll give you a free sample of our new venom. I'll wait here for you to find an exit."

"Thanks *wheeze* a bundle, heroes! I'll try to best to carry my weight from now on."

Punii had rejoined the party! Galen relinquishes the Blast jellies they had gotten from the Oozelings.

Will the party prepare before heading into the Medbay?

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar gives his wrench to Galen before shouting "onwards"

[Dannylonglegs]

Sylph envenomed his arrows with one of his two venoms."Good work team, glad to have you back Punii. I'm sure we can chat about our experiences in the caves later. For now, let's get ready to take over the med-bay."

[Fugazi]

Galen eyes the medbay door warily.

"Are we sure there's no other way out? I'm not specially keen on fighting a roomful of crazy Proggs -- not that most of them aren't crazy in their natural state, present company excluded!"
