Heroica RPG - Quest #48: Death's Homecoming

[Dannylonglegs]

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!"

"That depends. Are you a good swimmer?" Sylph asked jokingly.

[TheBoyWonder]

Deadly Venom on Combrys.

"Let's Do It."

[Capt.JohnPaul]

I apply Mead and Deadly Poison to my sword. I'm ready to go in.

Also, I heal myself.

[Endgame]

QM Note: I'll give B&P an hour or two more before we move on.

[Dannylonglegs]

Sylph noticed that Lycan was injured. "Lycan, what did you guys do in that tunnel?" Sylph healed Lycan.

[TheBoyWonder]

"Well, there was some mythril, I grabbed it then this blob decomposed it then fought us. It's how I got this insane amounts of gold."

[Dannylonglegs]

"Well, there was some mythril, I grabbed it then this blob decomposed it then fought us. It's how I got this insane amounts of gold."

"Huh. Allot more eventful then our trip. All we did was destroy a half made statue of Regret. We thought it was important, but there weren't any guards or anything."

[Fugazi]

"That depends. Are you a good swimmer?" Sylph asked jokingly.

"We still have some boat parts!"

Galen reminded himself that hundreds, perhaps thousands of Proggs were standing between him and a warm meal in Heroica Hall. He downed another Mead and a Nostrum, and prepared to enter the medbay.

[TheBoyWonder]

"After this, we head to the town hall."

[Endgame]

QM Note: Moving this along...

"Back in *wheeze* action!"

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist

Jellies: Green x5, Red x3, Blue x3

Nostrums were sipped, Meads were chugged, Smelling Slats whifffed, Venom applied. The party, geared up to the teeth, walk through the door.

The Medbay was located in a massive cavern, even the smallest sound echoing around the gargantuan space. 3 rugs were laid out, most likely for the patients: one progg carrying several bombs seemed to be particularly under the weather. The purple, six-clawed nurse, the first female progg they have seen yet, rummages throug shelves and counters, trying to find something for her patients An artillery progg sits on another mat, a cast wrapped around his bloody stump of an arm. A Progg pyschologist speaks to an insane crystalline progg, his innards exposed via his clear, quartz-like shell. A Progg Guardian carefully watches the conversation to make sure no harm comes to the pyschologist.

As the nurse finally finds what she is looking for, she spins 'round... and catches a glimpse of the heroes. She drops the beaker she was holding, and addresses them:

"And who do you think you are, darlings? Barging in on a place for the sick! Distasteful!"

"It doesn't take a pyschologist to deduce that a person who does this sort of thing is, in fact, a big fat megablock."

"Great, somone to spread my sickness too! *cough, hack*"

'GAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

"My arm may be wounded, my pride is not! Have at you!"

"One more step and consider yourself dead."

Prepare for Battle!

"Back in *wheeze* action!"

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist

Jellies: Green x5, Red x3, Blue x3

Edited December 3, 2012 by Endgame

[TheBoyWonder]

OOC Sylph healed me so I should be at full health.

Ill take the Artillery Progg, Front Row, Combrys twice.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Progg Guardian, front row,

"I got him, my SP piercing sword that has deadly venom will be most effective at bringing down his health."

[TheBoyWonder]

If Alexandre brings out Guardian Angel, Galen should throw Bomb XX,

And only when Guardian Angel is there should Punii mix Jellies.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

I forgot he had that thing! :drool:

[Endgame]

QM Note: Unless you want me to change the "Punii's Bombs" clause in the Bomber's info (I kinda want to change it to all bombs myself, but want to make sure you are cool with it. ) Bomb XX will not cause the Progg Bomber to blow up.

[TheBoyWonder]

We need to seal Bomber Progg, his special involving Puniis bombs is nasty.

OOC: Sealing stops Specials, So I imagine it stops passive specials.

OOC: Endgame, I'm fine with that.

[Endgame]

QM Note: Done. Also added another clause to prevent you from completely nuking each other in one round.

[Dannylonglegs]

"This looks like it's gunna be fun." grinned Sylph through his mask.

Order (At least one member of party should review):

Sylph: Seal Bomber

Punii: Make Bombs *unless Seal worked, in which case, mix bombs

Lycan: Bomber, BR

Lycan: Art, FR *unless he rolled damage from bomber, in which case, BR

Galen: Nurse, FR

Elgar: Nutcase, BR, Opal Spell

Johon: Psych, FR

Alex: Progg Guardian, FR

[TheBoyWonder]

"Looks Good.Let's Rumble."

[Fugazi]

Galen shakes his head in disbelief at all the Progg freaks in this cavern.

"Your plan sounds good, Sylph."

Galen attacks the Progg Nurse with his whip from the front row.

OoC: I should be *Encouraged* and *Lucky*!

[Dannylonglegs]

"Alright, the plan's a go." Stated Sylph.

[TheBoyWonder]

OOC: Lycan should be at full health. Sylph healed him.

[Endgame]

"Freaks? Preposterous. Perhaps with a little bit more sense you'd be closer to a half-wit then you are now currently."

[Fugazi]

"Freaks? Preposterous. Perhaps with a little bit more sense you'd be closer to a half-wit then you are now currently."

"What?! Can they read minds now?"

Look out, a stalactite's falling!

[Dannylonglegs]

"Freaks? Preposterous. Perhaps with a little bit more sense you'd be closer to a half-wit then you are now currently."

Sylph wondered who the psychologist was speaking to as no one in his party said 'freaks.' So when did the nut take over the nuthouse?
