Round One of the Medbay Melee

>Sylph seals Progg Bomber: Success!

>Punii mixes bombs: 4 is rolled: 25 damage! (Progg bomber doesn't explode due to his sealing)

>Lycan VS Bomber (back): Damage Shield: Mug (8x3=24+11=35x2=70-2=68 damage, 68 gold earned. Combrys = WP: 9)

>Lycan VS Crippled Artillery Progg (front): Special Damage Special Damage (7+3=10 damage, Stunned, Combrys = WP: 8)

>Galen VS Progg Nurse (front): Special Damage Critical Hit (10x2=20+14=34x2=68-4=64 damage)

>Elgar VS Insane Crystralline Progg (back): Critical Hit (11+19=30x2=60-0=60 damage)

>Johon VS Progg Pyschologist (front): Miss

>Alex VS Progg Guardian (front): Special Damage: Sentinel! (All damage is halved next round.)

With 6 Proggs versus 6 heroes (and a runt), the brutal battle begins. Sylph seals the Bomber, while Punii detonates a blast of his own. Lycan mugs the saled bomber, and tries to slice at the crippled army Progg. Enraged by this, the Artillery Progg smashes his bloody stub of an arm into Lycan, stunning him. Galen whips the Progg Nurse, the purple female letting out a grunt as the whip stings her side. Elgar lets blob of ice fly from his opal, the chilly orb of ether landing squarely into the insane Progg's face. Johon misses in his assault, the pyschologist reading his body language and moving accordingly to dodge the blade. Alex provokes a sentinel.

"Whipping a woman? Classy."

>Johon VS Progg Psychologist (front): Hit (8+20=28-6=22/2=11 damage)

>Alex VS Progg Guardian (front): Miss

Punii grabs two jellies and mixes them. The conconction doesn't even produce a spark! Sylph breathes in a bottle of smelling salts, the strong smell allowing him to swiftly remedy Lycan. Lycan goes on a slicing spree, damaging both of his targets and stealing gold from the sick bomber (careful not to catch his illness.) Galen whips the nurse once more, the rogue finally getting used to using spider web as a weapon. The crystalline Progg yammers on about some sort of sock-filled pastry eaten on Leif Ericson day, confusing Elgar. Johon makes a small scratch on the Pyschologist's shoulder, the Progg making a mental note of the Raider's battle style. Alex swings at the Guardian but misses. However, when swiftly dodging out of the way, the Guardian drops down his shiled, undoing the sentinel.

"*giggling* Darling, if you want a room with me, just ask!"

Then he picked up where he had left -- Progg Nurse from the front row.

The battle rages on. Both Galen and Lycan have a magnificent output... then something about Elgar's posture makes the Insane Crystalline Progg furious. Something fragile in the beast's deranged mind snaps, and he goes into a frenzy. From there, the party loses a lot of it's steam.

"This isn't cute anymore, dearie. Want me to explain the Progg reproduction system, by the by?"

Bomb XX is a risk I don't want to take unless we are sure, or we have a guardian angel.

[Fugazi]

"I can't use Bomb XX now, Sylph. The backlash will take us all out! We need to wait for the Guardian Angel."

OoC: Endgame, some of the rolls are missing from your Round 3 post.

[Endgame]

"I can't use Bomb XX now, Sylph. The backlash will take us all out! We need to wait for the Guardian Angel."

OoC: Endgame, some of the rolls are missing from your Round 3 post.

QM Note: Fixed.

[Fugazi]

"This isn't cute anymore, dearie. Want me to explain the Progg reproduction system, by the by?"

"Of course, good clean fun and education go hand in hand! Tell me everything there is to know about reproduction, while I try something different."

Galen throws the Goblin Wrench at the Progg Nurse from the back row.

OoC: Thanks Endgame! But you forgot to add to my gold!

Also, for reference:

Bomb XX - A nefarious weapon designed by mercenary explosivist XX. Deals 30 damage to all enemies and 10 damage to all allies, ignoring SP and row. (Dastan Trilogy)

[Endgame]

QM Note: Both you Lycan are now about 80 gold richer!

The nurse emits a soft giggle.

"I like you, Rogue. As much as I could like any disgusting humanoid, anyway.

Anyway, reproduction.

Believe it or not, Proggs can exit their shell at any time: though we only do it very rarely, usually for reproduction purposes."

From the way she puts emphasis on reproduction, you begin to feel she does more with her patients then heal them...

"Anyway, when the shell is off, the next step continues like it does for you humans. However, one (or several!) small Proggs begin to develop in an organ inside a female's tail. When that cute widdle Progg is all nice and ready, he is sealed up in an egg and is shot out through the tube of a tail. Much more exotic then "laying" an egg, huh? From there, or cute little baby eats through the egg, getting nutrition from it, and growing bigger and bigger til' pop! He hatches.

Then all the adults in the room go D'awwwwwwww and isn't she/he precious?

Believe it or not, only about 2% of the Progg population is females: although they tend to have about 50 to 350 children in their lifetime."
