Heroica RPG - Quest #64: Discord in Duplovia

[-obelix-]

"I don't know about you guys, but I could use a good rest."

"I agree, we could all use the rest, but I dont think we have the time. If those gangs are indeed planing an assassination in the palace in Duplovia we must go there as soon as we can."

[Brickington]

"I understand.

[Wedge09]

After meditating for a while Alexander speak "I don't think this plan is a simple plan made by terrorist, I think that behind there is more and, hearing our two fellow and seeing the symbol, I am increasingly convinced."

[The Legonater]

Eyric gives the subtlest of nods to Alexander.

I have to stay here to better check this out. Quellir, these guys are right, the next hit looks to be at the castle. Take them there, and fast, and remember - tell no one.

...All right. Is there anything more you folks want to do here?

[Wedge09]

"I think that we are ready to depart, if we can't rest there is no reason to stop here." says Alexander.

[-obelix-]

"Aye, I think we are ready to go. Don't worry, we wont tell anyone."

[Pyrovisionary]

"Aye, I think we are ready to go. Don't worry, we wont tell anyone."

*Cough*"Unless they offer money"*Cough* "No-one."

[The Legonater]

The heroes race out of Delfrin. Dawns peeks out of the clouds, illuminating their path. The Great Highway has been thrown into chaos, it takes the Heroes far too long to reach the castle. For a time they fear they haven't made it. They finally break through the massive doors, and inside find Aves and the Delfrin King captured by Vastin and his crew.

Where's Somoril?

Leave him for now, he's - heroes? You're supposed to be dead!

Heroes, help!

[-obelix-]

"Surprised to see us, Morcrass? Your pet failed and I figured you owe me 5 gold for lying and telling a story that was not worth even a single copper and so I've come to collect... Or maybe we've come here to stop you, I cant quite remember..." Thalion says with a smirk as he drinks a potion in preparation of what is to come...

[The Legonater]

Morcrass ain't here. He was supposed to be distracting you. I suppose it doesn't matter, it's not like there's anything you 'heroes' can do about it now.

[-obelix-]

"Ah, you that goon of his, the one from the market; what are you doing here? I thought Morcrass would be here for sure... Sorry for confusing the two of you and for not remembering your name but I beg to differ. I'll return the favor you offered us once, drop your arms and surrender!"

[The Legonater]

Surrender? I should be saying the same to you! I have the Delfrin King in arm's length. I can end this treaty right here!

[-obelix-]

"And you think you will be able to reach him before my spell hits you? Or Alexander's arrow? Come on, be smart, lets talk about this..."

[The Legonater]

What's there to talk about? We're at a clear advantage, whether you see it or not.

[-obelix-]

"Actually you are not, if you do what you plan you will not escape with your life. And someone else will arise to sign the treaty: a queen, a prince, a regent; and people will see you as terrorists after presented with evidence we found... If you don't, you will fail your mission but you will at least get to keep your life. You might even get a trial and a second chance, for you were acting under orders... Think about it... There is no need to spill any more blood needlessly..."

[The Legonater]

Morcrass' employer would beg to differ. It doesn't matter, though. At this point, we win either way. Who dies first is simply up to you.

[-obelix-]

"We stopped you once before, right? Quite humiliating experience, wasn't it!? We will do so again! Do you dare to prove me wrong?" Thalion makes a taunting hand motion, inviting the ambushers to attack him.

[Pyrovisionary]

Sarge walks over to the Delfrin king, pushes him back for Quellir and Aves to protect, turns to Vastin and makes an inviting motion "Just try, just try"

[Wedge09]

"Don't waste words Thalion, he is convinced that his is the right way, nothing will stop them if not the death." says Alexander, holding his bow and preparing for the fight.

[The Legonater]

"Alright people, we need to do this fast. Leave Vastin for now, we get rid of his henchmen first so pick one and bring him down. Then I'll seal Vastin and we bring him down! Sarge, you might want to consider using that Lucky stone and attacking all the enemies, it would make our job a lot more successful... Oh and Alexander, it might not be a bad idea to give a mead to Sarge, he fights better under the influence of alcohol. I'd give him one myself, but I don't have any left..."

Thalion attacks Elite Cell Soldier A with darkness spell from back row.

Sarge uses the lucky stone on his Demonic scissors and attacks Cell soldier A (& cell soldier B) from the back row!

Alexander uses a mead on Sarge "You will pay me back for this, right?" says Aleander while using the mead.

Results of Round One of the

:

>Alexander uses a mead on Sarge

>Sarge uses Lucky Stone

>Sarge vs Elite Cell Soldier A (B): Hit (32 damage, Soldier A and B Jinxed)

Quellir vs Elite Cell Soldier A: Shield (SP doubled)

>Thalion vs Elite Cell Soldier A: Hit (22x2=44 damage)

>Brickington vs Cell Soldier C: Meat Shield

Vastin vs Alexander 5-5= 0 damage

Elite Cell Soldier B vs Sarge= 10/2=5 damage

As the battle begins, the heroes feel a little luckier - Sarge's scissors now held a new power. Even if they were a little strong to begin with. Sarge and Thalion both get good hits in, and Quellir boosts his SP. Again. Even though the QM continually forgets to reset it to 10 at the end of battles. The third soldier steps forward to take the damage next round. All the damage! Meanwhile Vastin and the second soldier strike back.
