Brickington Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) "You big loser! I'm going to show you a good A$$ whooping." Sir Brickington attacks The Apprentice from the front row. He also throws Jeaux his Phoenix Essence. Edited February 28, 2013 by Brickington Quote
joeshmoe554 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) OOC: Brickington would have taken 2 damage from Vipunch that round since he was in the front row. The limp form of Jeaux clatters to the ground like a puppet whose strings have been cut. OOC: Well that sucks. Brickington, using a phoenix essense will take up your turn preventing you from attacking. Also somebody should probably remedy Karie before she attacks one of the party members.

Endgame Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) "You big loser! I'm going to show you a good A$$ whooping." Sir Brickington attacks The Apprentice from the front row. He also throws Jeaux his Phoenix Essence. "I'd like to see you try! Now that I have my ~Looovely Assistant~ -" The Apprentice says the last two words like some sort of game show host, doing a purposefully overdramatic gesture towards the brainwashed Karie. "It'll be a tad harder for you fools." QM Note: Thank you joeshmoe, fixed. Edited February 27, 2013 by Endgame Quote
Kintobor Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) "I love being your assistant, Mr. A." She states, in a monotone, but loving voice. The out-of-her-mind Karie affectionately puts her head on the apprentice's shoulder, hugging him tightly. OOC: If this isn't allowed, let me know, just trying to role play the character accordingly. Edited February 28, 2013 by Kintobor Quote
Endgame Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) QM Note: Of course you're able to roleplay! It has been your first quest, but you guys have already been a great group in pretty much all aspects. More of that in the QM lounge when this concludes, however. At Karie's display, The Apprentice seems as arrogant as ever, his bloated ego inflating even more. Despite his snide demeanor, the party can still see the sense-snatching thief's sanity still hung in the balance. He chuckles at Karie's behavior, pleasantly surprised by the degee to whcih the Harvester was working. "My my, I really did a good job tuning up this weapon, didn't I? Yes, yes, darling, being my assistant is the greatest, isn't it? Wouldn't you like to be in this state forever -not a though or care in the world?" As the Apprentice says his last sentence, he primes the Harvester, ready to bring Karie back to this state if needed... Edited February 28, 2013 by Endgame Quote
Kintobor Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 "But then I wouldn't get to care about you, Mistah A." She replies. She stops hugging him and grabs her dagger from her belt, holding it in a rigid position. "Can I beat the living nonsense out of one of those lab rats for ya, puddin'?" She stares blankly at the party. Quote

Brickington Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 "Jeaux, can you please tell me what to do." Quote
joeshmoe554 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Brickington asks the unconcious android for some assistance, but recieves nothing in reply, save for the clicking of gears that no longer seem to connect properly. OOC: You have a 1/6 chance of a 1 hit KO from either the Apprentice or the Histicuffs regardless of row. You could rez me this turn from the back row and once again absorb the Vipunch's free hit for no damage, then heal yourself next turn. That would allow me to attack on both turns, since I can take an action after being resuscitated, or you could heal yourself this turn, and save the phoenix essence. It is up to you. Someone should also remedy Karie before she has a chance to KO one of us another one of us. Edited February 28, 2013 by joeshmoe554 Quote
Brickington Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Realizing Jeaux is one of the strongest members of the team, Sir Brickington revives him with the Phoenix Essence Quote
joeshmoe554 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Darkness surrounded Jeaux. It was all he could see in every direction, an inky black darkness. It felt somehow familiar to him, but he was having some trouble placing it. Perhaps the Apprentice had managed to blind him again, but this felt different somehow, more detached. Like he was no longer bound to the threads of this world. He heard someone singing a off to his right. The lyrics were hard to make out, but he did manage to pick up a few lines. "Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. You'll see it's all a show, Keep 'em laughing as you go." He wanted to move towards the voice to see who it was, when a light appeared above him. He could feel himself being pulled towards the blinding glow, the darkness being driven away before it. The automaton quickly rose from the ground almost as suddenly as he had fallen. He saw Karie now standing at the side of the Apprentice. Her eyes reminded him of the guards they had encountered earlier in the prison, only she was far more lucid then they had been. Jeaux guessed that betrayal was less of a stretch for her personality, thus the Harvester did not need to take quite as much. This tool was truly impressive in its design and behavior, using a sort of discretion that Jeaux would have thought impossible for an artificial object. He tossed a remedy from the back row at Karie, splashing her with the contents and curing her of her temporary insanity. Or at least nullifying the effects of the Harvester, her insanity may take more than one remedy. OOC: Now Karie and Arnulf are free to attack. Someone should attack the Histicuffs to prevent it from getting a free hit. Party Order: Brickington Jeaux Em Karie Arnulf EDIT: OOC: I just remembered, Brickington's weapon is envenomed so the Apprentice should have been poisoned in round 5 and/or 6.

Shoker86 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 "You old wanker, what did you do to Karie is wrong, now it's personal". Arnulf turned aroud to see Jeaux standing up. " Are you ok?" Arnulf attack hissticuffs from back row Quote
Endgame Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 QM Note: I'll let Kintobor roleplay being doused by the remedy/state Kare's action before I run. Quote
Kintobor Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) The remedy splashes all over Karie. Small doses of the remedy enter mouth. She blacks out for a split second, the remedies dose not powerful enough, but for that brief second she blacks out something strange happens... The orchestra starts up. A lone man stands in the spotlight. He appears to have done this before. "Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome! Fremdah, etrange, stranger! Gucklich zu sehen, je suis echante Happy, to seeeee you! Bliebe, Reste, Staaaaay!" The man leans into Karie's ear. "Your audience is waiting for you..." In a flash of light, the stage goes black. All is quiet. Karie snaps out of her delusion, and looks about her, a little fuzzy from the Harvester's effect. She's standing next to the Apprentice, unaware of what just happened. She knows he's had his way. "You scum sucking freak!!!" She screamed. She forcefully attacks the Apprentice from the Front Row. Edited February 28, 2013 by Kintobor Quote
Brickington Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) OOC: Now Karie and Arnulf are free to attack. Someone should attack the Histicuffs to prevent it from getting a free hit.

Brickington rummages through his belongings to pull out a Phoenix Essence, sprinkling the mystical red brew on the collapsed form of his party leader. As the liquid hits him, gears slot back into place inside Jeaux, pistons springing back to life. The robotic ranger rises back on his feet, resolved to defeat the foes before them - but first, he had to break Karie from her spell. Dousing the hypnotized rogue with a remedy, the look of obedience fades from Karie's eyes as she escapes from the Harvester's power. A fire of anger and hatred fills her eyes as she rejoins her party, eager to get a chance at The Apprentice's throat. Em lands an arrow on the Apprentice, the fiend not happy he lost his thrall - to say the least. Karie takes a swing at "Mistah A", but misses when The Apprentice parrys. Arnulf stands against Histicuffs, but the swift serpent bites his foot. "Oh, come now, Karie. You enjoyed being my lovely little assistant - said so yourself! I warned you that one day you would enjoy my thrall, my dear, but you failed to take heed... Tsk tsk. Don't worry, I'll let you'll be my assistant soon - accept this time, it'll be permanent. Doesn't that sound grand?"

Kintobor Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Karie clambers up again. No response. Simply a look of hatred and determination. Her makeup was beginning to smudge. She attempts to plunge her Dagger into the Apprentice from the front row. Quote
joeshmoe554 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 "Good to have you back to your old self." Jeaux tells Karie, "Now let's show these last three what heroes are made of. Brickington and Arnulf, you might want to take care of those injuries before continuing the fight. Everyone else watch your health, now that we don't have a spare phoenix essence, if you're down, you're down for good." Jeaux fired another arrow at the Histicuffs from the back row. OOC: Brickington, if you choose not to heal please do not attack the Apprentice this round. I'm putting you first in the battle order so you can take the free hit from the Vipunch, and if you trigger the apprentice's special damage it would kill Arnulf before he gets a chance to heal. Party Order: Brickington Arnulf Jeaux Em Karie Quote
Shoker86 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) " I'll heal this round guys, so i can be of some assistence later " Arnulf pours healing potion from back row down his body. "Karie dear, good to have you back, now woop his a$$" Arnulf was pleased so far, his criticals helped his team mates. Everybody is trying their best to finish their asigment, especially Karie, Arnulf thought. Fellow rogue really had some tough time being prisoner. Arnulf planned to talk to Karie when they finish their assigment. Knight proved to be valuable ally as well, keeping nemesis at bay, blinded by harvester. Edited February 28, 2013 by Shoker86 Quote
Brickington Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 "I'll heal myself this time, because once I have 12 health. I can kick the Apprentice's A$$. But for now, the tank needs to be repaired." Sir Brickington takes the potion from the back row. Quote

Jeaux unleashes a flurry of arrow, blood spurting from his three opponenets. Em takes damage from The Apprentice, but Karie harbors a burning hatred for the menace. Certinaly no longer his "lovley assistant", Karie zooms in, attempting to thrust her dagger right into the sense-snatching foe. He parrys with the Harvester, deflecting the blade, but Karie remains relentless. Quickly reocvering from the deflection, Karie jabs forward with all of her might. The dagger embeds itself in The Apprentice's chest. Blood spurts out and the fiend collapses, smashing his head on the table. Blood oozes from every gash the party had gave him, the Apprentice looking more like a discarded doll then a human being. Only one snake remains... The Enemies: "EEEK!" Translation: EEEK!

Round Nine of the Final Battle! >Brickington VS Vipunch (front): Critical Hit (4x2=8+3=11 damage) With one last slash of his sword, Brickinton slices the last of The Apprentice's snakes clean in half. The party looks at the carnage around them - a massive serpent lies dead in the corner, venom and blood slowly dripping out of its maw as it lies in eternal rest. The gibs of various snakes are plastered about the room, sliced and diced by the heroes. The hardly concious body of The Apprentice lies on the cold stone floor, slowly bleeding out. The Apprentice mutter foul vitriol, in fatal condition... All Party Members gain a level! Party Leader, please distribute the Loot: 150 gold. Potion x2 Venom x2 Mead - Causes the encouraged-effect, doubling the target's attack power for the duration of one battle. Nostrum - Causes the lucky-effect, allowing the target to roll the battle die twice and get the better result of the two for the duration of one battle. Soma – Causes the blessed-effect, allowing the target to recover 3 health at the end of each round for the duration of one battle. Quest Reward: An ornate blue box.

When he had crumpled to the floor he had dropped The Harvester, the blade clattering to the floor. The defeated menace clutches the fatal stab wound, muttering profanity and swears. He looks towards the party eagerly sifting through his goods, and addresses them: it was clear his sanity was shot, The Apprentice consumed by anger and hatred. The party look at the sad shell of a man he currently was, The Apprentice bitter and insane during what very well may be his last moments. "Lab rats... That is what you are! Lowly, disgusting, lab rats! Meant to be manipulated and used to my needs, discarded when you outlived your neccesity! How?? How did I lose to you? How? HOW?! LAB RATS! YOU ARE LAB RATS! NOTHING MORE!" The Apprentice rants and rambles, screaming away in his blind fury. His maddened words echo around the room, though it was clear The Apprentice no longer held any power over them. Deprived of his control he was nothing, a rage-filled wreck spewing away insults as he bled away the last minutes of his life... almost pathetic, really. They had triumphed at last. What will the party do? Edited March 1, 2013 by Endgame Quote
Kintobor Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Karie wipes the Apprentices blood off of her face, and walks towards the heap on the floor. She kicks him hard in the stomach, then knells on both legs looking at the sad individual. She looks about, ensuring the Harvester is nowhere near the Apprentice. If so, she kicks it away from him. "You are nothing short of a monster. I personally want to kill you, and slit your throat, and end your miserable little life right here and now. But that won't change what you did! I know you'd take personal pleasure in knowing how it felt, knowing how it made me feel to be your little meat puppet! Just remember that the woman you called a lab rat...." She begins to tear up. She takes a moment to herself, and then re-postures herself. "Was the one who killed you." She takes off the Apprentice's hood. OOC: No one kill the Apprentice, at least not yet, I would like to role play this out. Edited March 1, 2013 by Kintobor Quote
joeshmoe554 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Jeaux distributes the rewards from the battle with the rest of his companions. He gives each of them 30 gold plus one of the pouches containing 70 gold for a total of 100 gold per person. To Sir Brickington, he gives the Soma. The knight had done his part protecting the party from damage (even if he never managed to use sentinel ) and the Soma should help him continue to be a shield for those he wishes to protect. To Em, he gives a potion and the Nostrum. After the last few battles it seemed the range could do with a little more luck. To Karie, he gave the Mead. As unstable as the rogue seemed to be, she had allied herself with them through the end. To Arnulf, he gave a potion and a venom. And finally he kept the last venom for himself. He looked down at the Apprentice. The man was a sorry sight, while he may have been intimidating before, he was merely a raving lunatic now. Jeaux addressed the rest of the party, "What do you think we should do with him. Personally, I think the town watch would be very interested in taking him prisoner, seeing as he essentially did the same to their men. He attacked us all though and I think each should have a say in his fate." EDIT: While waiting for his party's reply Jeaux takes a closer look at the mysterious weapon their ex-captor had utilized.

Shoker86 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) "Well done lads, it was glorious victory" Arnulf said looking down at dead enemies. "We have to decide what to do with this thing, harvester, we can't leave it here unprotected, we can take it to the Tai Pans or Town watch, as for Apprentice he looks dead to me, and i don't like carrying dead bodies " Arnulf checks the apprentice's pulse checking whether is he alive Edited March 1, 2013 by Shoker86 Quote
