Heroica RPG - Quest #57: Green and Gone

[Zepher]

Nagure and I counterstrike on free hits, dealing damage equal to our level (divided by 2 if we're in the back row, which we weren't).

Boomingham chuckles at the small critters as he carves a path through them. He repeats his attack.

[-obelix-]

After his first Ice spike hit the nearest rat, Thalion immediately prepared to cast another one at the rat on his other side.

Thalion attacks Bad Rat C with Ice spell, from the back row.

OOC: If anyone has a better suggestion for Thalion's action send it to me and I'll update; potion on Sorrow, Endgame?

"Gnnrgh! That frog has a mean set of fangs on him... and I didn't even know frogs had them. To think, I went from striking down dictators and dark generals to... this.

I should be fine without a potion, if I attack from the backrow once I can't possibly be KOed this round."

I chug a Mead and attack Bad Rat E, both from the back row."

[Costy]

Boomingham chuckles at the small critters as he carves a path through them. He repeats his attack.

"Perhaps you would be better off attacking the demon frog as Sorrow has had a problem hitting him, and the rat leader is stunned."

I Attack Giant Rat B from the front row.

Sancho attacks Giant Rat A from the Back Row.

Dead-End Battle Round Two:

Boomingham vs. Giant Rat Leader with Frozen Saber - Special Guard (Giant Rat Leader no longer stunned)

Nagure vs. Giant Rat B with hammer - Damage (15-12=3 damage to Nagure)

>Sancho vs. Giant Rat A - Critical Hit ((14*2)=28+24+2=54 damage to Giant Rat A)

>Sorrow takes Mead - (Sorrow encouraged)

>Sorrow vs. Bad Rat E - Special Damage / Shield: Gold Reaper (106*1.5=159 gold reaped, 512464125 Giant Rat A and Bad Rat D assassinated)

>Thalion vs. Bad Rat D Bad Rat A with Ice - Damage (7/2=4-1=3 damage to Thalion)

>Alexander vs. Bad Rat C - Special Damage (no effect)

Free Hits:

Bad Rat B -> Boomingham (7-12 = 0 damage)

Boomingham counterstrikes (21 damage to Bad Rat B)

Demon Frog -> Nagure (18-12 = 6 damage)

Nagure counterstrikes (14 damage to Demon Frog)

Alexander: -1 health from poisoning

Nothing much happens at first - a giant rat nibbles on one of Nagure's toes, Sancho fires a decent shot at the other giant rat. But Sorrow, feeling powerful from chugging down yet another power drink ( ), skillfully slices into all the enemies, reaping a large amount of gold and instantly killing two rats. Thalion and Alexander are barely damaged.

Sorry for the huge mistake I made previously. Very embarassing

OoC: Holy hell, that's a lot of assassinations. I've never seen such luck. With the consequence of possibly setting us back... you know it's a 1 in 6 chance, and that roll is not effected by lucky, right? Just making sure. I apologize, I see now he killed them the old fashion way.

Boomingham wheels on the Demon Frog. "Someone trade with me. It's time to deal with this frog. No one strike the weakest rat, let him come to me. Yeti, you're on a frontal assault with me, get one of the biggies. Sancho, undead- er, Sorrow, you two are in the back hitting the bigger hitters. The elf and archer should pick off the smaller fellows. Forward march, chaps!" Boomingham uses his Frozen Sabre to bear down on the Frog.

" ******** Rats..." Alexander retreats on the back of the party cursing the rats and does nothing in the back row.

"As you say master Boomingham", Thalion nods and moves to the back. "Dont worry Alexander" he says with the smile while getting a bottle of remedy out of his bag.

Thalion does nothing, in the back row | IF the battle is not over after this round, Thalion uses Remedy on Alexander, from the back row.

OOC: Costy, put Thalion last in the battle order so that if the battle is not over, he can help Alexander.

Bad Rat A, back, then Bad Rat B, back. Make sure I don't take a free hit from those big rats, please! I should be plenty capable of assassinating more of these rodents."
