Heroica RPG - Quest #53: Chaos in Eubric

[Zepher]

OoC: Your power will be corrected! And you forgot to speak nice to her and get her to lick your cheek again.

The Apothecary's eyes nearly bulge out of his head when the heroes don't leave.

"I told you, we're closed. Please leave me alone. I don't want any trouble. Just, go on your way. I can't just let heroes in here all of the time. They nearly burned it down last time. Hel, this place burns down so often, we have to rebuild it about once a month." The man keeps sweating. His eyes keep darting under the counter. "Now, go along, go away."

"Surprise," says a low gravelly voice as an Orc in a Jester Hat rises from behind the counter as well. "You can calm down, Peter. You are welcome. Hello, heroes. My name is Zane." The Orc's voice is low and monotone. "I am the jester to the Court of Demons. Are you here to stop me from activating this spire? I'm afraid I can't let that happen. Which means you have two choices. You walk out, or you fight me."

-----------------

"Hello Nyx, hello Dyric, hello Atramor. It's a pleasure to meet all of you. Now, you've told me that you're heroes from Heroica, and that you're on a picnic. Slightly different stories, but that's okay." Zee gives a convincing smile. "You speak of another Chaos User. I assume you are referring to the Dark Lady Wren. Zoot has warned us all about her, don't worry, they aren't on good terms. We're here to let him into the world before she's able to steal his power, so that he can swallow her, and then us, and then the city, and then-"

Zee freezes. She stares at Thothwick.

"You. I know you. What is your name, ape?"

Ah, I see, I see. And how many spires would you need to perform this summon? I suppose if Wren or one of her allies came here to use it, you'd stop them, right?

[Flipz]

"Surprise," says a low gravelly voice as an Orc in a Jester Hat rises from behind the counter as well. "You can calm down, Peter. You are welcome. Hello, heroes. My name is Zane." The Orc's voice is low and monotone. "I am the jester to the Court of Demons. Are you here to stop me from activating this spire? I'm afraid I can't let that happen. Which means you have two choices. You walk out, or you fight me."

"You are the jester to the Court, eh? Then why don't we play a game instead of fighting over who gets to use the Spire?"

[Zepher]

"I'm actually not overly fond of games, believe it or not. There is one I like however."

The door of the shop opens, and four figures with no skin walk in menacingly.

"You see how many of my friends you can kill, and I'll see how many of your friends I can kill. Simple game."

Our relationship goes beyond mere words

Is it too late to consume a gran tonic before the battle?

"A jester? What is the court's favorite joke you tell?"

Edited January 6, 2013 by UsernameMDM

[Zepher]

OoC: 'Fraid it's too late. You've had lots of time, sorry.

[Flipz]

"Leave me and Hoke at the top of the Battle Order, I'll counterstrike Zane and while Hoke drinks his Grand Tonic he can possibly dodge one of the Experts and cause them to damage their ally. Nobody target Zane, we should just Counterstrike him to death. Anyway, I'll take Expert D from the Back Row with Light."

[CorneliusMurdock]

OOC: First, what is Dark Humanoid susceptible to? Second, Cronk used his bright polish on his armour already. Also, how much health does Gnash have?

Let magician go this round. Free hit of 5 not much. Friends should stick to back row for now and see how battle goes.

Alexis, try taking on Zander with one turn. Anything good against electric would be great... Summoning a helper would be even better.

Then try apprentice A, please.

Cronk will bash on Master A from back row.

Phil, bash Apprentice B from back row.

Drink that mead Felton has since the action is free and then bash Master B from back row.

Gnash, bash Apprentice C from back row.

McColt, try to hasten Cronk, please.

Order:

McColt

Cronk

Alexis

Cronk (if hastened)

Felton

Alexis

Phil

Gnash

Edited January 6, 2013 by CornaziFoogdock

[Zepher]

OoC: Will fix the SP and bright armor. Sorry, there was lots. Dark and Demon are separated by a "/", so read it as "demon humanoid", which I think might be susceptible to... nothing diamonds actually would still work... Gnash should be at perfect health, I apologize, again, there was a lot.

"Will do, Cronk. Perhaps we should have heeded the Dark Lady's warning. She is evil, but she is smart. I don't relish dying today."

"Aw you old sorry put, we can take them easy. Stiff under lip, keep your sword up, and fight to the last breath."

Edited January 6, 2013 by Zepher

[CorneliusMurdock]

Don't worry about it. I just wanted to make sure we weren't starting off with a KOd member. Thanks for clarifying things.

Yes, Felton, friends must defend city at all costs. Battle will be tough but Cronk thinks friends can be victorious if fighting smart and cautious.

Cronk hopes Ennoc is protecting other parties. Cronk does not want to think about what others might be facing.

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke chides himself for not being properly prepare for the battle. He moves to the back, pops the cork from a vial and consumes the contents.

Back row, grand tonic.

[Waterbrick Down]

OoC: I'm going to argue this now as opposed to after the fact, but since we are reading dark humanoid as demon humanoid, Skrall currently favors both types correct?

Skrall didn't have much of a chance to say anything, he knew something was fishy about the apothecary's attitude, but was slightly surprised at the sight of the rather garishly dressed orc.

"Well, someone forgot to send me the memo on the latest orc fashion."

Skrall unholstered his crossbow and leveled it at Expert of the Court of Demons C from the back of the group.

"So it looks like it's a race to see who can summon Zoot first, your court or Wren?"

"So it looks like it's a race to see who can summon Zoot first, your court or Wren?"

"Hasn't anyone mentioned it to you, Skrall? Wren doesn't just plan to summon Zoot...she plans to usurp him."

[The Legonater]

Ah, I see, I see. And how many spires would you need to perform this summon? I suppose if Wren or one of her allies came here to use it, you'd stop them, right?

As I wait for the answer, I do a rough estimate on how many graves there are.

[Waterbrick Down]

"Hasn't anyone mentioned it to you, Skrall? Wren doesn't just plan to summon Zoot...she plans to usurp him."

"Yes, yes, Regulus, she means to become some sort of god herself, but she's got to get Zoot here first to usurp him right?"

[Flipz]

"Yes, yes, Regulus, she means to become some sort of god herself, but she's got to get Zoot here first to usurp him right?"

"I believe so...but it somehow feels we're all playing right into her hands...even though she claims she isn't playing those games anymore." Arthur's eyes widen. "Oh, no...no,no, not possible..." Arthur scrunches his eyes shut for a few moments, then opens them again. "We need to take care of this. Quickly. Whether we beat them or join them or let them go, we have to get this job done fast. Why didn't I see it before?" Arthur frowns, but focuses on the battle in hopes of ending things more quickly.

[CMP]

Atramor rubbed his eyes. The ape was the one going to screw them over, wasn't he?

"How do ya' know him?"

Edited January 6, 2013 by CallMePie

[Scorpiox]

Haldor unstrapped Zoot er Isen from his back and stepped forward.

"No offence to you apothecary sir, but you seem to have an infestation. About time for some housecleaning?"

The nord mouthed the word 'Freak' at the oddly dressed orcish demon thing, but elected to leave him alone for now on account of his specials. Instead, Haldor lowered his weapon to swing at Expert B, from the front row.

[Professor Flitwick]

Zee freezes. She stares at Thothwick.

"You. I know you. What is your name, ape?"

"Thothwick. Have we acquainted ourselves in the past? I can only fathom one occasion wherein I would come across a 'woman' like you who wishes to bring back Zoot, and I don't recognise you from the shrine of Zoot. All the undead there where slaughter, including the late Ms. Ziegfried, and the demon Mephisto. How did you escape our wrath?"

[Pandora]

"Hello Nyx, hello Dyric, hello Atramor. It's a pleasure to meet all of you. Now, you've told me that you're heroes from Heroica, and that you're on a picnic. Slightly different stories, but that's okay." Zee gives a convincing smile. "You speak of another Chaos User. I assume you are referring to the Dark Lady Wren. Zoot has warned us all about her, don't worry, they aren't on good terms. We're here to let him into the world before she's able to steal his power, so that he can swallow her, and then us, and then the city, and then-"

Zee freezes. She stares at Thothwick.

Nyx whispers so that only Thothy can hear: "Thothy, let's not antagonise the skellie-lady"

She turns to Zee with a winning smile.

"Well, there might be a picnic, who knows? That's why I said maybe. Anyway, I like the idea of Wren being swallowed by Zoot, and clearly you don't mind being swallowed by Zoot, so that's hunky-dory too, uhm, I'm just not so keen on Zoot swallowing the City and presumably the rest of creation.

If I asked you really, really nicely, do you think you could possibly... not do this? I know it's a lot to ask, but you could join us on our picnic instead maybe? Or is there a work-around, where Zoot swallows Wren and then decides he's actually quite full, and can't quite manage to swallow the world, even though it might be wafer-thin, and just goes for a cigar and brandy instead?"

[Professor Flitwick]

Nyx whispers so that only Thothy can hear: "Thothy, let's not antagonise the skellie-lady"

"My dear Ms. Nyx, this 'skellie-lady' is standing guard over one of the spires we need to obliterate, and has just announced her plans to revive Zoot and allow him to destroy Eurbic. Perhaps the whole of Olegia. With all due respect, I think we're a little behind antagonisation, or pandering."

[Masked Builder]

"Cronk, I'd like to drink one of my Nostrums now if you don't mind. But then yes, I'll cast a fire spell at Zander."

[CorneliusMurdock]

"Cronk, I'd like to drink one of my Nostrums now if you don't mind. But then yes, I'll cast a fire spell at Zander."

That should help in long run. Alexis may take extra free hit, though.

Cronk forgot to mention that if Cronk becomes hastened, Cronk will bash Apprentice B from back row.

[Waterbrick Down]

"I believe so...but it somehow feels we're all playing right into her hands...even though she claims she isn't playing those games anymore." Arthur's eyes widen. "Oh, no...no,no, not possible..." Arthur scrunches his eyes shut for a few moments, then opens them again. "We need to take care of this. Quickly. Whether we beat them or join them or let them go, we have to get this job done fast. Why didn't I see it before?" Arthur frowns, but focuses on the battle in hopes of ending things more quickly.

"They're merely a distraction right? Wren's a big fan of those, if my memory is correct. Well then hold on to yer hats boys, we're going to have to finish this up quick like." Skrall switched his target to Zane from the back, "Chaos user, you should have stuck to comedy."

[Zepher]

"Do not let my garb or title fool you. In the Court of Demons, the Jester ranks very highly. I laugh at the world, they do not laugh at me. I wear the outfit of the City Watch sportingly, as they are an incompetent bunch, and I am not. Perhaps when you die I will wear your carcasses as well."

Round One Apothecary Battle

Jokes on You: Zane gains immunity to fragile and encouraged effect for duration of round

>Arthur v. Expert D - Miss Critical Hit (([12*2]+19)*2=86)

Expert C v. Hoke - ([26/2]-9=4) (No Deception)

The heroes, faced with a strong enemy force, rally extremely well. Arthur and Skrall both fire powerful shots from the safety of one of the corner's of the shop. Haldor takes a beating, but is back on his feet in no time.
