herrJJ Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 "I will distract him. Hey, Assassin, over here." Nessa attacked Blue from the back.
Palathadric Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Sorry, for my absence, and thanks for moving on without me, CMP. I believe the catapault should be facing the other way, as we're trying to shoot them onto the plank. "So, who's ready to make the jump. Best to do it now while my Guardian Angel is protecting us from injuries. Erik, are you going to let the demon shoot you up or will you shoot him up?" I target the assassin again. Battle Order: Erik Dreyrugr (I'm not sure who's doing what though) Nessa Pretzel Sylph "Nessa, perhaps if Erik is busy where he is, you could attempt to vault the demon up their. Let's hope your strength will do it as I doubt your body weight will do much." I chuckle.

Palathadric Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 "Whoa. I always encourage my lads to be bold in their actions, but some things are just overdone."
Vash the Stampede Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Dreyrugr gets ready to vault Erik up or get ready to be vaulted up.
Palathadric Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 "Erik. I understand your climbing up yonder to attempt to remove the knife, but what are you planning to do when you jump down? Are you jumping down to vault the devil over?"
Myrddyn Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 "I figured Drey could stand on the lever and get launched, and I'd jump down from here. That way I should hit my end of the lever with more force, and launch Drey higher."
CMP Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 Round Eighteen of Black and Blue Erik Dreyrugr >Nessa vs. Blue Assassin (Silver Crossbow) - Shield: Tripleshot (23 x 3 = 69 damage) >Pretzel vs. Blue Assassin (Cross of Light) - Hit (56 damage) >Sylph heals Nessa (Shrapnel Bow) - Nurture (34 health restored, -1 ether) Dreyrugr stands atop of the end of the lever. Erik steps back, and launches himself off the catwalk. He sticks the landing, the armored vampire flying up into the air. The entire party watches in awe as Dreyrugr is sent straight upward - and promptly bashes his head on the edge of the platform. He tumbles to the ground (to be caught by Pretzel's angel), but the Blue Assassin is off-guard, stumbling and falling to the floor, all of his former nimbleness lost as he smashes into the ground with a thump. Whether he's dead or not already is debatable - Nessa and Pretzel don't stop to find out, the former burying another three bolts into the figure as Pretzel smashes his cross into the assassin's head. It splinters easily with a crunch, his black hood staining over. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Everyone gains experience. The enemies drop nothing. The warehouse falls silent.

Myrddyn Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 The silence is broken momentarily by Eriks giggle. He quickly covers his mouth with his hand. "Not funny, someone's dead." Silence returns. Haha, love the fight description.
Vash the Stampede Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Dreyrugr stands atop of the end of the lever. Erik steps back, and launches himself off the catwalk. He sticks the landing, the armored vampire flying up into the air. The entire party watches in awe as Dreyrugr is sent straight upward - and promptly bashes his head on the edge of the platform. He tumbles to the ground (to be caught by Pretzel's angel) Dreyrugr hits his head luckily to be caught by Pretzel's angel. "Next time watch your aim there Erik, someone could have been hurt. " Dreyrugr takes the Assassins Blue Cloak. "Can't let this go to waste now. And I believe I owe you 200 gold monk so here." Dreyrugr hands 200 gold to Pretzel.
Palathadric Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I watch as Erik vaults Dreyrugr through the air, and cackle gleefully when Dreyrugr's head meets the platform, but it only gets better, the assassin topples off the platform, and as Nessa drills an arrow into him, I raise my Flying Cross... Thud! "Between you and me, that was a bit anti-climatic." I turn to my angel, just before she disappears. "You know, next time you don't have to catch him nor prevent him from hitting his head so hard. Just a thought. You know, God may question your motives if He sees you protecting this kind of ilk. ...I would question your motives too." I allow my gaze to fall down the angel, from head to toe, then, shaking my head, I turn away. How could God allow such a being to represent Him to His servants on earth? I ponder as the angel disappears. Dreyrugr hands me the gold. "Ah! I thought you'd never turn up with that. Good lad. If it's all the same to you, though, I would be pleased if you'd hand the Bolas to either the druid or Nessa considering that neither of them have gotten much in the way of solid loot and you have already taken that powerful sword and magnificent shield as well." I accept the 200 gold and pocket 10 while slipping the rest into the party treasury. I sample the mead again. "My, this is rather tasty. Everyone want a drink?"
Vash the Stampede Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 "I'll give it to one of them if they want it but neither of them have could use it." Dreyrugr samples the mead.
Myrddyn Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 What? How was I meant to aim? I just jumped on one end of the catapult. You built it. Erik thinks, as he drinks more mead.
Dannylonglegs Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 "My, this is rather tasty. Everyone want a drink?" "I'll pass. I don't derive enjoyment from it. Only sustenance and physical power. Now that we've killed the assassin, we can claim our reward." Sylph did not drink the mead, but he did remove an empty flask which previously contained a disposable item, and filled it with the liquid. "might be useful later." (Is that legal in this situation?)
herrJJ Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) "Yay, victory This one took a while. Hey Drey, if noone minds I'd like to have those Bolas. " Edited September 10, 2013 by herrJJ
CMP Posted September 10, 2013 Author Posted September 10, 2013 Dreyrugr takes the Assassins Blue Cloak. Fine. Only because I completely forgot about that, and it's not of much use to you guys anyway.

herrJJ Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Nessa looked at the blue assassin and poked his body with her boot. "Hey pal, are you dead?"
Vash the Stampede Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Fine. Only because I completely forgot about that, and it's not of much use to you guys anyway. Now sell to Hybros for profit. "Yay, victory This one took a while. Hey Drey, if noone minds I'd like to have those Bolas. " "You don't seem to be the Assassinating type but sure." Dreyrugr hands over the Bolas.
Palathadric Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 "I'll give it to one of them if they want it but neither of them have could use it." Dreyrugr samples the mead. "Since when have Rangers not been able to use Throwing Weapons? Rogues get so used to Rangers wielding Bows and Crossbows that they forget that they can use Throwing Weapons as well. Nessa, I'll let you and the druid decide who should get it. If he doesn't want it, then it's yours."

Rogues get so used to Rangers wielding Bows and Crossbows that they forget that they can use Throwing Weapons as well." "Slip of mind. I guess I've never seen any ranger use throwing weapons as they take time to retrieve as opposed to a bow or crossbow."
Myrddyn Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 "So, now we go back to Miss Kalraf? Do we need to take something to prove we killed him?"
Vash the Stampede Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 "So, now we go back to Miss Kalraf? Do we need to take something to prove we killed him?" "Probably, although what would be more proof than a body? Although that may draw a bit too much attention. Any room in that cart of yours monk?"
Myrddyn Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) "Or just his head - that'd be a bit more manageable." Edited September 11, 2013 by Myrddyn
Palathadric Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 "Well, I suggest one of you with a sword or axe or something, lob it off and we get going." I look through the crates and boxes on the ground for anything of value/use. "Erik, why not try to get back up onto the platform and check again if there's anything useful up there. Or do you think you did a good enough job last time?"
