Gnash, are you okay? It seems you get hit and go down each battle. You could probably use a trainer. I happen to know one. "Gnash probably could use some training. We city guard are trained to fight, but mostly in group, not alone. I chose city guard, but fighting with hero is different line of work, and maybe I could use some help. Gnash just want to protect poor people of city. I would be so sad if they came here to pray and there were still Bombsters and monster machines. And now there is blood." Sometimes, I say softly. It is not about protecting the ones we love, but the one who can't protect themselves. Often... often those we love are sacrificed in the process. "Where did you say you were from, boy? You'd fit in well enough in Dastan, I think. Those are strong words." "What he does with himself is his business." "I see nothing wrong with him, completly sane if you ask me." Alexis says with a huff. "There's a number of people in Dastan who would disagree with you, Alexis. Young Arthur is mad. He may also be great, but he is certainly insane." Quote
Pandora Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Nyx sighs as Atramor Hexes the warrior instead of healing her, and just counts her blessings that at least he isn't using a healing staff. Wincing slightly, she steadies herself and focuses her Fire on the Cleric A from the back row, once more through her book. "it occurs to me that gentleman Hoke here has pretty high SP now, especially after his doohicky with his Ether. If needs be, he could take a free hit, couldn't he? For now it might be better to put him higher up the order than me, not that I don't have confidence in Atramor's healing ability, of course, and I'll worry about the nastier doggies when I'm feeling a little stronger." Nyx glances at Atramor and gives him a hopeful smile. OoC Thanks Zeph, Nyx likes you too! Quote
CMP Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 "Aye, I say we let Hoke take the warrior's hit. If he, Cronk and I are up high in the order, they have a good bit of SP and I'm in the back row, so being Tripleshot rather than being Defensively Stricken would be better." Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Skrall placed the phoenix essence in his bag. He kept his voice lowered as Arthur continued to investigate the shrine, "We all have our problems, some are just more pronounced than others. As I have said in the past, what the young mage does is his business and as long as he does not interfere with the effectiveness of fulfilling our objectives I will not stand in his way. Now we best be getting back to the hovels as soon as he's done investigating." Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Feeling relief that he had finally been healed, Thothwick attacked Pongacanis Warrior B, from the front row with his Sabre. OoC: Unless, of course, stated otherwise by people who know what to do in a battle! Quote

Good to be knocking heads with you again, mate, It's been too long since we've done this. How've you been keeping lately, heard anything from the family? However, I stand by my opinion that Arthur is a few drinks short of a feast, If you know what I mean." The nord chuckled to himself, it was good to be amongst old friends. He looked around briefly, dusting his hands on his trousers before walking over to look at the shrine. "So Arthur, what we got here then? Some kind of shrine to Zoot? Seems like they're popping up all over the place." Quote

Those who don't learn from previous mistakes are destined to make those mistakes a second time, or so the saying goes. Dastan has a long history, and we make sure we learn from it. I'm not saying insanity is a bad thing, but I can vouch for his madness. Haldor is right about that." Quote
CorneliusMurdock Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Okay Cronk will heal Self from back row. Atramor, Cronk will attempt to heal Nyx first. Please only heal if Cronk fail (Make conditional action). Bashing someone else with flail, even from back row might prove useful. So Cronk will heal Nyx from back row as second action. Andrew and Bert will attack Cleric A from back row. McColt will try to Encourage Nyx. Cronk is willing to hear strategy suggestions if friends think there is room for improvement. If Cronk is ever able to summon angel, next round should be devoted to enemies that damage multiple members of party. MAybe take one out. Order: Cronk Cronk Hoke Atramor Atramor Thothwick McColt Nyx Andrew Bert Quote
CMP Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Atramor nods to Cronk. If Cronk succeeds in healing Nyx, he'll instead swing his Heavy Flail at Pongcanis Warrior B from the back row for his second turn, rather than healing Nyx. Quote

CMP Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Nyx and Andrew should be at full health now because I have Special Mirror and healed everyone for 50 points, and Cronk was healing in the back row, so the compounded damage from both Archers should total 9, not 18. Also, Fragile takes place immediately, so Warrior B should be dead at the hands of Thothwick. I don't think Warrior A should be Hexed anymore, either, but I'm not complaining... Atramor smirked as he reflected the Cleric's aura of healing, restoring the entire party to full health. Certainly beat out any healing he'd ever done....he then swung the Heavy Flail at Pongcanis Warrior A from the front row - if his strike landed, he would switch to Ratsbane and repeat the attack. If not, he would would continue to use the Heavy Flail. Quote

So I came back, did a bit of trainin' in the arena before joinin' up with the rest of ya for this final bout with Wren. How are things with you? I noted I hadn't seen Jess for a bit, surprised she isn't on this trip with us." Quote
Zepher Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 OoC: Special Mirror is correct, those two should be nice and healthy. Archers ignore row. Fragile did take place immediately, the multiplier is there in the calculations! Hexed should be gone. At the other Spire, Arthur examines the crown, but finds nothing unusual about it. He also holds his magnifying glass up to the walls, and sees Chaos squirming around behind them very faintly. Perhaps this Chaos is the reason for some of the prays in the temple being answered, and some not. Luck is, after all, very much reliant of chaos. Skrall leads the party back to the Hovels City Watch barrack Felton and the Gray Wizard pour over more tomes, and Johnny Everyman sits in a corner. Bennetton scowls at him good naturedly. When the heroes arrive, Johnny jumps up. "Shhhh, be quiet, they're studying." Everyman's sarcastic tone shows his thoughts on that venture. "Guess you guys did pretty well, am I right? None of you dead? All still got all your limbs? Good work, then. Oh, guess who stopped by while I was picking up more books in the library. You'll never guess. Guess. No, too slow, it was Father Grogmas, and it turns out some of you were on his good list this year! I know, I know, strange, ain't it. Anyway, I told the old fart I knew you guys, and stole away with the presents. And hid them around the city. Naw, I'm just joking, they're right here. Arthur, this beut is for you." Arthur is tossed a garnet. "Rone, these fancy flyin' shoes are coming your way, and Skrall, you got this pretty pink bin of something or other." Skrall gets his Grogmas Gift, as does Dyric. "I tried to drink this mulled wine, but Bennetton told me it would put me even more on the naughty list, so Haldor this is for you." Everyman passes the mulled wine to Haldor. "And that's it." Bennetton clears his throat, and Everyman rolls his eyes and chuckles. "Fine, fine, Alexis, this came for you. I like your taste in books. I've been trying to get my hands on one of those for a good long time, so, ya know, if ya don't want it... I've got friends on the Black Market." Everyman slips Alexis her book quietly. "Gnash, we got the normal haul." Everyman laughs again, and the Gray Wizard shushes him. He continues in hushed tones. "The City Watch here, under Bennetton, only gets socks every year. Probably because they barely make the nice list." "It's all I ever ask for because it's all we ever need. Besides, I'd probably make it onto the nice list if I put you in jail from time to time, or better, let you hang. Letting you go time and time again may seem nice at the moment, but I'm sure that you're out causing more trouble each time. I caught you stealing from the Hinckwell's four times this year alone. It's not like you made the nice list anyway." Everyman shrugs and grins again. Quote
CMP Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Sorry, missed the ignore row bit and I keep thinking Thothwick has a darkness weapon. Warrior B should be Badly Poisoned, though. "Talk about turnin' the tables. We've almost got 'em." Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Skrall examined the bottle, he wasn't exactly sure of it's contents, but thought there may come a time for it at some point. "What do ya know, the old gent' isn't as much of a legend as I thought he was," the ogre muttered under his breath before stowing the bottle away. "Well, seems like we beat the other group back, so that's one down. Any word from either Mallelio or Triad?" Quote

"Nah, you gave him half a chance. If you want something to work, you've got to commit to it, the fact that you let him go so easily just shows that you weren't fussed whether you where together or not. Sometimes, you ought to take things a little more slow." "If I told you what he did there, it'd probably upset your dainty little stomach, and you'd want to be as far away from that man as possible. Trust me, he ain't sane, and I'll leave it at that," Haldor made a hand signal to emphasise the point.

I noted I hadn't seen Jess for a bit, surprised she isn't on this trip with us." "Sounds like someone tipped them off, or maybe it was the dirty great Ogre wandering through the street with a crossbow that alerted them to your presence. Either way, d'you reckon that you'll picking that one up again some time in the future? But it sounds like it can probably wait, what with all the Wren beasts and the like bearing down around our ears. Funny that, because I haven't seen Jess for a long while either. Not that I can complain, my feet have barely touched the hall these past months, and you can't blame her not waiting around for me to come back. I'd best go find her at some point, else she'll be bored of my long disappearances and go find some other bloke." "I tried to drink this mulled wine, but Bennetton told me it would put me even more on the naughty list, so Haldor this is for you." Everyman passes the mulled wine to Haldor. "And that's it." "Ha, can't say no to free drinks! If you see him at any point, tell Grogmas that he knows just the way to a nord's heart." Shoving away the latest alcohol in his pack, Haldor stood around waiting for the others to finish examining their presents. "So, what is our plan of actions now that we've seen to that shrine?" Quote

Trust me, he ain't sane, and I'll leave it at that," Haldor made a hand signal to emphasise the point. "Fine." Alexis throws her hands up in disgust, then turns away from the Nord. Quote

Flipz Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Sometimes, I say softly. It is not about protecting the ones we love, but the one who can't protect themselves. Often... often those we love are sacrificed in the process. I look away, a flash of old pain coming back and hitting me hard. Arthur nods softly at the Assassin's words. Wise words, indeed, though they came from a foe. Not unlike Wren, he thought. "There's a number of people in Dastan who would disagree with you, Alexis. Young Arthur is mad. He may also be great, but he is certainly insane." Skrall placed the phoenix essence in his bag. He kept his voice lowered as Arthur continued to investigate the shrine, "We all have our problems, some are just more pronounced than others. As I have said in the past, what the young mage does is his business and as long as he does not interfere with the effectiveness of fulfilling our objectives I will not stand in his way." "Stop being so bloody diplomatic, Skrall, you'll make us all look like fools. Good to be knocking heads with you again, mate, It's been too long since we've done this. How've you been keeping lately, heard anything from the family? However, I stand by my opinion that Arthur is a few drinks short of a feast, If you know what I mean." The nord chuckled to himself, it was good to be amongst old friends. He looked around briefly, dusting his hands on his trousers before walking over to look at the shrine. "So Arthur, what we got here then? Some kind of shrine to Zoot? Seems like they're popping up all over the place." Arthur sat in silence as the rest of the party discussed his mental stability--or lack thereof. Maybe they're right. But I've nowhere to go but forward. He listens as Haldor tries to convince Alexis to leave him and go back to his Master. "Fine." Alexis throws her hands up in disgust, then turns away from the Nord. At last, Arthur speaks. "What was the spirit of your Diamond, again?" he asks quietly. Edited January 2, 2013 by Flipz Quote
