Heroica RPG - Quest #57: Green and Gone

[-obelix-]

"Alexander, Master Boomingham are you all right? You look a bit... woozy."

He turns and notices that Bad Rat A is still running about, "Leave the little rat to me!" he yells as he tries to squash the vermin.

Thalion attacks Bad Rat A with his scepter, from the back row. If it is down, nothing back row.

Note to QM: Thalion attacked with Ice, so should he not have done double damage (23*2) to Bad Rat A? Also, Alexander has 3 defense, so he should get only 1 damage, right?

My bad!

Thalion's hit, Alexander's health, Sorrow's gold and inventory are all fixed.

"As you suggest Nagure." Alexander withdraws in the back row and stays doing nothing.

[Zepher]

Boomingham huffs and puffs. He remains in the front low, but turns his healing powers to Sancho. "Told you nothing in life came free, chap."

[Endgame]

"Giant Rat B, back. If that is dead by my first action, Bad Rat A, back. If that is dead, I do nothing (back) for my first action. My second action is to Do Nothing, back."

[Flare]

Dead-End Battle Round Four:

Boomingham heals Sancho - Heal Less (21 health restored)

Nagure vs. Giant Rat B - Extra Critical Hit ((14*3)+14 = 56 damage to Giant Rat B)

>Sancho vs. Giant Rat Leader - Aim (14 damage to Giant Rat Leader)

>Sorrow vs. Giant Rat B - Critical Lethal Hit / Damage (((20*2)+17)*2= 114 damage, Giant Rat B KO'd)

>Sorrow does nothing

>Thalion vs. Bad Rat A with scepter - Shield: Magic Burst - ((18*2)=36 Ice-elemental damage to all enemies, Bad Rat A KO'd)

Alexander remains in the rear and stays doing nothing, waiting for the other kill the last rat.

[Zepher]

"Let's crush this vermin. Yeti, I have you. Sorrow, keep up the fight. You too elf and Sancho." Boomingham heals Nagure from the front row.

[Endgame]

"Giant Rat Leader, back, once."

Thalion gave Boomingham a stern look but said nothing when he moved to the back and got a potion from his bag.

Thalion uses a Potion on Sorrow from the back row.

"Actually, even in the back row, I can't take a hit from that thing. Can someone use a potion or me, or shall I sit this round of the ring-a-ding-ding out?"

[Wedge09]

Watching the continuation of the battle, Alexander has a motion of anger but it remains for another round in the back row doing nothing.

I want to attack but I'm confused for another round and I think it isn't a good idea attack now; maybe I can, doing the least damage, if I'm on the bottom of the order.

[-obelix-]

Thalion does nothing in the back row.

OOC: I'll update his action if needed, when we formulate a strategy.

The encouragement of the lead rat puts him out of our league Wedge. The risk of Alexander attacking it, and a chance to KO Sancho or Thalion, or injure someone else is too much in my opinion. We can let Sancho attack to prevent a free hit and give a chance for Boomingham, Nagure and Sorrow to recover and finish the leading rat. Or have him use his Neutralizer and make a different attack plan and order of actions. But I'd leave that to the more experienced players among us...

Note to QM: Sorrow should have 21/28 health and Thalion should have 2 potions remaining.

[Costy]

"Sorrow, it's up to you. You have the best chance of damaging him this round. If you go down I can get you back up."

I do nothing from the back row.

Sancho does nothing from the back row.

We are waiting for Boomingham and Sorrow to give their input and/or advice to finish the fight.

I know... It's just weird that they haven't posted yet...

If they don't post within an hour, then if the Party Leader would please provide their actions - the battle is really almost over...

[Zepher]

Sorry, sometimes I think I've posted and I haven't.

Boomingham rubs his forehead and gives healing Nagure another shot.

[Costy]

Sorrow will attack the Giant Rat Leader from the front row.

[Costy]

Forgot Sorrow is hastened, so he will attack twice.

[Endgame]

Sorry, sometimes I think I've posted and I haven't.

I suffer from the same fate! I even pull up the editor sometimes but never finish my posts.
