Heroica RPG - Quest #48: Death's Homecoming

[Endgame]

QM Note: Sigh, the editor decided to be an idiot again. I don't have the exact post nor the exact rolls, but I remember the moneymaking rolls. You won the battle, though, so let us proceed. Ahem...

Sylph shoots off one final, well-placed arrow, the shrapnel tipped projectile zooming right through the Wound's face grid and plunging into his face. The creature rears up, roaring in pain... then collapses to the floor, gushing blood from every orifice. His hide detaches as he slams onto the hard marble floor. Reduced to monaing and groaning heap, The Wound would soon join the rest of his posse in the afterlife...

The battle is Victorious! All heroes gain their respective amounts of EXP.

Party Leader, how will the loot be divided?

Hide of The Wound: Backwear. A green, glassy hide that formerly belonged to The Wound. Provides +6 power to throwing weapons.

Sword Fragment: A fragment of a huge sword. It seems to belong to the one The Bleeding dropped, though the sword is not yet complete...

Journal of The Wound: The Wound's journal.

180 gold!

Dualis Scepters: Club/Staff, WP: 8, Dual-stirking. Two massive scepters wielded by twin Progg Sorcerers Blue Lightning and Red Inferno.

"Victory!"

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist

Jellies: Blue x2, Green x2, Red x1

The Wound lies on the ground pathetically, his hide detached. His tail lies limp and his tentacles twitch and spasm, as if he no longer had any control of them any more. Blood oozes out of his every wound, and the prestigious Progg speaks in a raspy voice in between fits of coughing and gurgling blood.

"N-no... How?? *gurgle* You... you're... you're vermin! F-filthy vermin! *cough, hack* Disgusting, lowly humans! How? HOW??"

[Endgame]

"Any last words, beast?"

"Yes.

I HATE YOU ALL."

"Grating Stone or Hide for me please." Lycan then laughs, before continuing, "Thats another progg down, let's finish him off."

"Or if I can't have the hide, the sword fragments would be nice."

[Fugazi]

"See where your arrogance led you, Wound. You have suffered and made people suffer long enough, it's time for you to leave this world."

And with a lash of Murkwood Thread, Galen ends the evil creature's life.

OoC: Unless anyone has unfinished business with him.

And Endgame, my health should have gone back up to 25!

[Endgame]

QM Note: Okay, I don't have the entirety of rounds 10 & 11 nor their rolls, but I rewrote the last part of the post, so it'll have to do. Sorry, folks. Refer above for the loot list and leveled-up party.

[Jedi master Brick]

Elgar watches Galen kill the beast. " To the town hall, we need to replenish our supplies."

[Bricksandparts]

"Hm, I'd like the grating stone or some gold."

[TheBoyWonder]

"So, I need to get some upgrades. "

Lycan thinks back to the past. Why did he have such an insane urge for death? Was that the way to advance? No. It was the way to lose allies. Poison and Magic? Not Right. He valued honor, not killing everybody slowly. Witch was not his style. He needed Power and fearlessness. Raider .

"So, Johon, whats being a raider like?"

Edited December 28, 2012 by TheBoyWonder

[Bricksandparts]

"To be quite honest, I don't think that what fighting style you use really shows or is necessarily even led by your past, or who you are."

[Dannylonglegs]

Snip

"Hm." Grunted Sylph coldly. He leaned over the glass corpse of the fragile, wounded, dead Progg. He yanked his arrow from his hide. "I wasted my last smelling salts on your pathetic friends. I can't wait to get out of this marble cage." Sylph proceeded to skin "The Wound" with a hunting knife. He tossed it at Galen. "You throw things allot, right?" "Lycan, upgrade your fancy new sword with this." Stated Sylph, tossing him the grinding stone. "Here, Elgar, take the staffs. I don't know who else to give it too. I'll take the Ether Core. Everyone gets 30 gold."

[Endgame]

QM Note: Sylph, I'll just assume you get the journal and sword fragment. Galen, please note, you already have backwear and 2 artifacts on. Will you dequip the leather armor?

"Victory!"

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist

Jellies: Blue x2, Green x2, Red x1

With one final devastating lash of Galen's whip, The Wound is on death's door, seconds away from dying. Summoning up the rest of his dwindling strength, he decides to use it to mock his killers.

"Gah... gahhah... Oh, I... wish i could see it... the battle between you little rats and Aquous... it'd be the show of a lifetime! The cacophony of your demise! GAAAA HAAAA HAAAA HAAA HAAAAA! It'll be beautiful... it'll be a masterpiece! Oh, how I long to see it...! *hack, sputter, wheeze* Enjoy your last few hours, heroes... Aquos will destroy you! Aquos will destroy you! Aquos wil- HUURRKKK!"

The Wound draws a sharp gasp in the middle of his maniacal ranting, the arrogant abomination snapping in his final moments on this Olegaia. With one final spasm, he succumbs... The Wound was vanquished at last.

In the corner of the room, the party hears a door swing ajar, and see 3 figures stepping out.

"Jolly good show, heroes!"

"Dude! Can you do that again?! That was awesome!"

"Are the mean monsters gone, daddy?"

[Fugazi]

Sylph proceeded to skin "The Wound" with a hunting knife. He tossed it at Galen. "You throw things allot, right?"

Galen thanks Sylph and proceeds to strap the glassy hide over his back after removing his leather armour. The hide is surprisingly light, although its relative rigidity will require some getting used to. Galen tries throwing his faithful dagger at a wooden beam and feels that the hide enhances his arm movement, making it faster and steadier. The dagger flies with unprecedented speed at the beam and penetrates it at such depth that Galen has to ask Elgar to pry it out of the wood for him. He grins at the party while the dagger disappears in a fold of his cloak.

QM Note: Galen, please note, you already have backwear and 2 artifacts on. Will you dequip the leather armor?

OoC: Yes please.

In the corner of the room, the party hears a door swing ajar, and see 3 figures stepping out.

"You are the Rihts, I presume? Mrs Rihts will be relieved to find you safe and sound. You don't appear to have been hurt by the... visitors, have you?"

[TheBoyWonder]

OOC: The Leather armor is bodywear, so you can wear both.

Lycan uses the grating stone on Combrys. "Thanks Sylph!"

[Endgame]

OOC: The Leather armor is bodywear, so you can wear both.

QM Note: He only has 2 artifact slots, I believe, so he'd have to dequip the weaker one anyway if he wanted to put on the hide.

Galen straps the crystalline hide to his back and Lycan powers up Combrys permanently with his grating stone.

"Victory!"

Punii, 2 month year old Progg Alchemist

Jellies: Blue x2, Green x2, Red x1

"Yes, indeed. I am Gregory Rihts, and these are my children, Kyle and Sophia Rihts."

Kyle still seems to be in awe about the spectacular bout he witnessed.

"Wait til' I tell all my friends about this! You guys are so cool!"

"Don't you get any ideas, Kyle: I don't want to see you fighting all sorts of big meanies like these things! You'll get hurt!"

The two Riths children bicker back and forth. Ah, sibling love. While his children were quarreling, Gregory answers their other question.

"Yes, I am quite alright - they roughed me up a bit when they dragged me out for execution, but luckily, when they heard you turn the doorknob, I was able to break free and hide in the closet. Not one of my finest moments, for sure...

If you had come a minute later, it may have been too late. Thank you, heroes."

The aristocrat turns to his two arguing children. the topic had shifted from heroism to which one of the Proggs was most dangerous.

"That Wound guy was the worst, by far!"

"Nuh-uh. That Blade Cart was way worse!"

"Stop it, you two: now is not the time to argue!"

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Alexandre doesn't know how to handle these kids, so he just nods slowly then turns to Mr. Rihts.

"Well, uh, you're welcome. It's out job. Can you tell us anything about a progg named Aquos?"

[Endgame]

"He is the one who breached this manor first, if I recall. Big, 8 tentacles? He was always clapping his tentacles to a weird rhythm for some reason.

I believe he likes to lounge on the island in the middle of the pond. me and the missus sometimes take the kids over there to do some crayfishing if it was sunny out."

[TheBoyWonder]

"We got to upgrade first. We are too weak as it is."

[Dannylonglegs]

OoC: Do I still have smelling salts?

"Let's take a gander at The Wound's journal." mumbled Sylph as he removed the parchment from The Wound's body. He read important pats aloud.

[Endgame]

Sylph cracks open the Wound's musty journal. the inside cover is plastered from top to bottom with sickeningly detailed schematics of various knives and blades: all of them drawn to scale meticlously and with exorbitant amounts of care... Blueprints for murder. One of the sketches in particular looks like an incredibly formidable sword... with lines going through it, splitting it into 4 segments. Each of the segments have a lbael, from bottom to top: Cardic, Vanguard, Bellum, and Prometheus. Flicking through the rest of the pages, Sylph picks out any interesting entries he can find.

Entry 68:

It is the anniversary of the day my parents bit the dust. I think I'll celebrate by spitting on their imaginary graves. Hooray. Thanks for the mental scarring, mom and dad...

Entry 99:

Today, Rhodus arrived back to the island: with a bloody stump where his hand should've been, not to mention a couple of scars. To think that the disgrace was still a Prince...If it wasn't for the fact Aquos was my master and employer, not to mention a father figure, he would'vegotten more from me then a few disdainful looks and snippy comments. Harumph.

Entry 138:

Here we come, Luosh! It'll be such a joy being in the field of battle again... though i doubt that these meatsacks will be of any real practice. These disgusting humans are nothing more then practice dummies to me, truly. Well, you have to start small-ish, I suppose.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"Hmph, it appears he had some mishap with his parents. I wonder what that's all about. Perhaos we could flip a few pages earlier to see what happened?"

[Dannylonglegs]

"Hmph, it appears he had some mishap with his parents. I wonder what that's all about. Perhaos we could flip a few pages earlier to see what happened?"

Sylph chuckled to himself and passed Alex The Psych Evaluation.
