"A trinket Nyx picked up in Dastan, I believe."

Nyx views Arthur askance.

"Slightly more than a trinket, actually." she mutters quietly, walking away.

As she walked with the group into park, she sensed the beasts as they enclosed. She'd not seen them with her own eyes before, but she recognised their energy from Vipera's communications in Dastan, and simultaneously she was grateful that Vipera hadn't communicated the stench.

"Cronk keep Alexis covered, go after that last Chaos beast with that shiny sword of yers from the front. Hans and Triad go with him and stay to the front and back of the Party respectively. Captain, Gnash help Dyric out with that second to last Chaos Beast from the front. Regulus we'll talk coin after this battle. McColt see if ya can encourage Ms. Nyx."

<Poletad, hang back and the first one that takes damage make sure ya heal them back row.>

Battle Order: <snip>

"A sound plan, Skrall. I think some of our colleagues here haven't seen how hard I can hit, when I actually do hit, naturally. I'm glad I invested in this shiny new Diamond, heh?"

Nyx steps back into the back row, drawing out her brand new Diamond, and holding her Book to her chest to act as a conduit (or offensive weapon should the opportunity arise) for Light magic, focusing the force of her thoughts on Chaos Beast D, reasoning that if Dyric did indeed assassinate it she could quickly switch to Chaos Beast A with Atramor.

Action Summary (Zeph, note that your NPCs have recieved conflicting suggestions from Arthur and Skrall, if that affects anything for you):

>Arthur (Light, Sir Roderick's Sword) v. Master Chaos Beast (Back Row)

Dyric (Briar Bow) v. Chaos Beast D (Back Row)

Hans (Sword of Dastan) v. Chaos Beast E (Front Row)

>Triad (Acerpusculum Shuriken(?)) v. Chaos Beast E (Back Row)

>Alexis (Light, Mockthril Longbow) v. Chaos Beast E (Back Row) (Zeph: note that Alexis has equipped her Quiver, the Monkey Bar, and her Lieutenant's Helmet )

>Alexis (Light, Mockthril Longbow) v. Chaos Beast E (Back Row)

>Hoke (Light, Vintul) v. Chaos Beast A (back) (Zeph: note that, since Hoke can only equip two Artifacts, he has chosen his Warrior's Treads and the Cloak of Deception)

>Nyx (Light, Book of a Thousand Creatures) v. Chaos Beast D (back) (if D is already defeated, same attack on A)

Atramor (Cat O' Nine Tails) v. Chaos Beast A (Front Row)

>Skrall (Hunter's Crossbow) v. Chaos Beast B (Back Row)

Bennetton (Captain's Sword of Distinction) v. Chaos Beast D (front)

Gnash (City Watch Halberd) v. Chaos Beast D (front)

>Thothwick (Shuriken) v. Chaos Beast E (Back Row)Cronk (Zoot's Bane) v. Chaos Beast E (Front Row)

Haldor (Zoot er Isen) v. Chaos Beast C (Front Row)

>Poletad v. heal the first Hero to take damage (back)

McColt Encourages Alexis

OoC: Updated Dyric's gold (-400) and also fixed Hoke's artifacts! I am also going to assume that the hexed effect will not be AoE (the Cat-o-Nine says that it divides damage, not effect, so I think it would POISON everyone, but not hex everyone).

Round One Battle of The Stone Gardens

Arthur v. Master Chaos Beast - Hit Damage ([30*2]-5=55) (-1 ether)

Dyric v. Chaos Beast D - Damage Damage (32/2=16)

Hans v. Chaos Beast E - Special Damage (5) (7 damage to all)

Triad v. Chaos Beast E - Shield (Triple Shot: 43-5=38 Damage to Chaos Beast E, Master Chaos Beast, Chaos Beast A)

Alexis v. Chaos Beast E - Critical Hit ([([13*2]+25)*2]-5=97) (-1 ether)

Alexis v. Chaos Beast E - Special Damage (3) (Chaos Beast E gains 1 level)

Hoke v. Chaos Beast A - Critical Hit ([([12*2]+18)*2]-5=79) (-1 ether)

Nyx v. Chaos Beast D - Damage ([32/2]-3=13)

Atramor v. Chaos Beast A - Shield (Hex)

Skrall v. Chaos Beast B - Critical Hit (([13*2]+22)-5=43)

Thothwick v. Chaos Beast E - Hide

Cronk v. Chaos Beast E - Critical Hit ([([12*2]+26)*2]-5=95)

Haldor v. Chaos Beast C - Critical Hit ([([14*3]+22)*2]-5=123)

Poletad heals Dyric - Shield (+16 Health to entire party, excluding Tothwick due to hiding)

McColt Attempts to Encourage Nyx - Failure

Blessed: Cronk (Already at full health)

The battle begins, and it is hectic. The Chaos Beasts and heroes trade blows. Arthur fires off a shot, but Dyric is unable to as a Chaos Beast sweeps his hammer down on the assassin. The Chaos Beast fighting Hans stabs each and every member of the party. Alexis and Hoke shoot beams of light, that successfully hit their targets, but blind Nyx, who stumbles backwards as an axe gashes open her leg. Skrall, Haldor and Cronk lead a successful charge, and even Bennetton scores a hit, though Gnash is knocked roghly on the helmet and falls into the mud. Thothwick narrowly escapes a slash by hiding behind one of the stone pillars. He hears the axe meant for him smash into the rock in front of him. Poletad prays, and the entire party feels slightly restored.

"My word, very narrow escape!" Gasped Thothwick, leaping out from behind a pillar to attack Chaos Beast E, with his Sabre, from the front row.

"Dang beast. I'm no help here. But let's try the attack again."

Atramor pauses mid-attack, the slit in the first Chaos Beast's helmet emnating a sickly orange glow. His own eyes glimmering the same color, he glances back at the party.

"Hmm....I say we do the same basic thing, but ignore the Master, and pile on Beast A if you're injured. Bennetton can null the Master's free hit, and my Hex will keep the first one from harmin' us. Just be sure to put him first in the order, Skrall."

With that, he again flicks the Cat 'o' Nine Tails at Chaos Beat A from the front row.

Edited December 23, 201212 yr by CallMePie

Haldor is a Shaman, so his Critical hit should be an Extra Critical hit.

Haldor pulled back his axe from the neck of the chaos beast, its head dripping steamy black liquid onto the sodden ground. The weapon's handle felt oddly warm and living to the touch, as though it masked a hidden heart, beating in glory for the first strike. The nord could not deny that it was unlike any weapon that he had wielded before.

"Everyone doing all right for health? Good, then I can set to finishing this monster off."

The shaman lunged forward for another sweep at the neck Chaos Beast C, from the front row.

"I did say when I hit..." Nyx mutters again.

"Thank you once more, Sir Poletad!" she calls to her favourite frog, knowing he would understand the sentiment if nothing else.

"Let's try this again." she says, once more muttering.

Nyx once more tries to channel Light energy through her book at Chaos Beast D from the back row, with the proviso that she'd switch to another similar beast should her target have fallen by the time of her attack.

I'll try for B, in the hopes of assassinating one of the stronger ones.

I attack Chaos Beast B from the back row with my bow

Edited December 24, 201212 yr by The Legonater

"Excellent plan, Atramor, I'll take C from the Back Row with Light. Everyone else should target Beast A until it's dead, at which point if they switch they should take on E."

"Oi, hands off! This bitch is mine! You target A, I got here first."

Everybody pray that Arthur doesn't take this personally.

Gah! Meant B! But apparently Dyric's got that one, too, so...

Seeing as he didn't feel like dredging up Haldor's entire past in the first fight of the Quest again ( ), Arthur switched to target Chaos Beast A with the others.

Hoke leapt forward with the diamond clenched in gloved fist. With all of the power he could muster, Hoke punched towards the chaos beast. A surge of blinding light slashed the beast, eliciting an angry howl from the otherwordly monstrosity.

Hoke repeats his action.

"Cronk, can you and Hans keep that Chaos Beast A spinnin' from the front. Triad fetch that blade of yers. Captain go fer their Master from the front. McColt try encouragin' Hoke."

<Poletad, take Dyric and make sure ya heal him from the back row.>

[/i]Skrall let loose another bolt at Chaos Beast B from the back[/i]. "Ya hunk of sticky black glue don't much independent thinkin' do ya? It's go here, kill that, blah, blah, ever think of goin' out on yer own?"

OoC: Ah now I get how the City Guard works, for some reason I thought they had a sentinel type action. Also, I don't know if you calculate hits by the power stat, but mine is wrong, it should be 35.

Skrall reeled back as the Chaos Beast swung its ax at him, however his heavy armor had absorbed most of the blow. "Not a bad investment after all," he thought to himself.

"Atramor, pull out that flail of yers and hit that master beast. All spell casters focus yer fire on the master, the rest of us will take care of his companions. Cronk, you cover the casters and go for the master as well from the front. Hans, you take that second to last one from the front as well. The rest of ya, let's finish off that last demon, Bennetton, Triad, yer with me, but use that blade of yers from the front row."

<Poletad, keep mendin' Dyric's wounds like ya just did.>

"McColt, keep on at Hoke, ya'll encourage him yet."

Skrall depressed another bolt into his crossbow's firing groove and shot Chaos Beast E from the back row.

Battle Order:

Dyric

Atramor

Hoke

Nyx

Arthur

Alexis

Cronk

Alexis

Skrall

Hans

Thothwick

Captain Bennetton

Poletad

OoC: Yeah. I actually screwed up the first time too, Bennetton should have dealt +1 damage before multipliers because there's one other guard in the fight, so I've put that statistic in! Forgetting to use their battle styles. And right you are, you haven't gotten a hit yet, but it must still be reflecting Leojad!

Atramor's eyes narrow, but a grin stretches across his face as every one of the warped beings falls victim to his deadly poisoning. He acknowledges Skrall's recommendations switching the whip to his right hand, sweeping the Heavy Flail from his cloak in his other, and whirling both weapons at the Master Chaos Beast from the front row, venom splattering all over the park.

OoC: Actually I did get a critical hit in round 1, which I just noticed was calculated almost correctly except you forgot to factor in the Hunter's Quiver, you just need to drop Chaos Beast B's health by 4 and you should be good.

Battle description? Also, remember that I deal Jinxed this Round!

Arthur nods, firing another Light Spell at the Master from the Back Row, but if it's dead he'll take D instead.

"Any reason I'm towards the middle of the order? Just curious."

"I'm puttin' in heavy hitter's first, I want Hoke's and Nyx's attack bein' used to their fullest potentials. If they don't finish him off, ya'll still have yer chance to rake in some gold more gold. 'sides if yer pockets get any heavier with gold, yer going to find yerself bein' slowed."

Haldor staggered backward from the hit. Zoot er Isen had leapt forward like a wild animal in his hands to deflect the blow, but most of the beast's claw still made contact. It hurt.

"I'm going to fix myself, you folks cover me."

The nord heals himself.

"Very well, Mr. Skrall, I'll attack the 'last one'." Said Thothwick, moving to attack Chaos Beast E from the front row with his Sabre.

"Bah! Summons won't stick around either." She sighs and then repeats her attack.

Hoke v. Chaos Beast A - Shield (Wood) ([30-5]*7=25 Damage All, Excluding A, who receives 50 Damage)

(Why wood? I had selected a diamond to attack with. I will always use what does the most damage to the most enemies. Can you fix this?)
