Heroica RPG - Quest #70: The Syndicate

[Shoker86]

Arnulf repeats his actions, lost in heat of the battle

[Flipz]

"Remember to switch to a different target if yours is already red. I'll vape these guys if you give me the opening. Lord Boomingham, I'd appreciate a heal."

Arthur's Actions:

>Frailty on Chromoid B

>Lightning VS Chromoid A (back)

>Frailty VS Chromoid B OR if already Frail, Blindness VS Magnus

>Lightning VS Chromoid A (back) (IF Chromoid A is dead but B is not Frail, Frailty VS Chromoid B; otherwise, Lightning VS Chromoid B (back))

"It's green now Arthur, I'll switch to Chromoid b if Chromoid A is finished by my turn"

[Kintobor]

The Cleric nearly retches as the potion goes down his mouth, but his breathing slows and calms as he drinks the brew. Karie looks the battered peon over: There was blood caked onto his shirt, his chest bleeding out. His hand was burnt nearly to a crisp, but it remains moveable, slowly flinching as the cleric rasps.

"T-thanks, Karie..." The Cleric groans, his voice stricken by pain.

"Think... that Magnus... busted a couple of ribs. This is my fault. I... I should've rmembered that... For high-end devices like those... Only Masson can operate them. I'm an idiot, and... and I pissed off the robot in the process."

Karie, still a mess from earlier, stays with the cleric, checking him over.

"No, no, this isn't your fault. What you did was admirable, brave even. Look, you need to keep your eyes on me, keep looking at me!"

Karie wasn't sure if the cleric would make it or not, not without the hands of a healer. She frantically looks about, trying to find something to stop the bleeding.

"Look, you're better at this than I am, what do I need to do to stop the bleeding? I don't know how good another potion's going to do."

[Endgame]

The cleric's head twists sideways, hitting the floor. At first Karie thinks he lost him - but then she follows the man's gaze, his eyes resting on his dropped healing staff.

"Y-you're not going to like this. But... but unless you are a surgeon, you're going to have to use my healing staff. Just... just pick it up and smash it into my broken ribs. It'll work, trust me."

Edited June 28, 2013 by Endgame

[Kintobor]

Karie's eyes widen as she shakily picks up the staff, cursing under her mouth. Just having the cleric's blood on her made her feel a little uneasy. Now he was going to crack his staff at his broken rib cage.

"God, this feels totally contradictory to what should work!"

She takes a few practice swings, taking deep breaths, still trembling at the thought. She closes her eyes, and then swiftly strikes the cleric with the staff, praying some divine being was looking down on her.

[Endgame]

QM Note: I'll wait until I get a Battle Order to run the round.

[Endgame]

The cleric notes the shakiness in Karie's hands, seeing the reluctance in her eyes.

"Karie... That potion has me feeling better... If you don't want to whack me upside the head with that, can you just hand it to me? I'm trained... I'll be able to do it, even in this shape."

[Kintobor]

"Oh, um, sure, perhaps this best be left to the professional."

Karie hands the staff over to the cleric.

[Endgame]

Round Five of the Syndicate HQ Brawl

>Boomingham VS Magnus (front): Critical Hit (11x2=22+25=47+5=52x2=104-8=96 damage)

>Em VS Chromoid A (back): Hit (Chromoid turns Yellow)

>Arnulf VS Chromoid A (back): Critical Hit (Chromoid turns Red)

>Nevron VS Chromoid B (back): Damage (19/2=10-1=9 damage)

>Arthur casts Frailty on Chromoid B (back): Failure!

>Arthur (Lightning) VS Chromoid A (back): Confuse Critical Hit (13x2=26+2551x8=408-1=407 damage, 407 gold earned)

>Arthur casts frailty on Chromoid B (back): Success!

>Arthur (Lightning) VS Chromoid B (back): Damage Damage (19-3=16 damage - Arthur is KOed, revived by Emergency Essence)

>Karie retrieves Syndciate Peon (Cleric)'s healing staff (back)

>Chromoids shift back one color

Karie scurries to the aid of the cleric as the party fightsd the automatons. Boomingham once again lashes out against Magnus, forcing Scupperer through a panel in its chest. Arnulf and Em gang up on the Chromoid, reducing the color displayed on its head to critical red. It vibrates nervously, the sound of gears frantically clicking inside the Syndicate robot. Arthur lets loose a bolt of electricity, frying the Chromoid. Reduced to red it shatters instantly, Arthur reaping the rewards from the automaton's electric end. He succesfully prepares the second automaton for destruction, only for the chromoid to drive its drill into Arthur's gut. His staggers backwards, collapsing to the floor. The Emergency Essence in the sorcerer's pocket jumps into action, bursting into a mist of pinkish particles. They envelop the hero in a fiery haze, brining up back to his senses instantly.

Karie gives the Cleric his staff, the green-clad peon bashing his ribcage with it over and over. He convulses with pain for a few moments, only for the sensation to be replaced by relaxation as a blossom of ether appears where he was striking himself. He calms, the pain fading away. His ribcage was still busted, but the bleeding had stopped and the pain had receded.

"Huhhh... Okay. No amount of bashing from this staff can heal broken ribs, but I'm fine for now, Karie. The automatons are the top priority now."

The battle rages on!

"! ~ ! ~ ?"

Magnus, Level 44 Mechanical *Bleeding!*

HP: 780/1000

SP: 8

Immune to Confusion, Jinxing, and Frailty

Specials:

Quad-Dazer: Sweeps the entire enemy party with a blue beam of energy. All heroes lose 3 power, 3 max and current ether, 3 max and current HP, and two SP, regardless of SP or Row for the rest of the battle. All permanent stats will be restored when the battle is complete.

Trident Turmoil: Cuts the HP of the hero who rolled Special damage, as well as the heroes above and below him in the battle order in half, disregarding row and SP.

Rotor Manuever: Magnus rotates its trident around like a rotor, effectively creating a bladed shield around him. For the next 2 rounds he will Counterstrike.

Specials decided by die roll.

Passive Specials:

Surge Protector: After magnus is under half HP, Magnus' surge protectors kick in, removing its weakness to Electricity.

Drops:

Topaz

"Blue is safe."

Chromoid B, Level 19 Mechanical *Fragile! 3 rounds remaining*

HP: 1/1

Color: Blue

Immune to Jinxing!

Specials:

Drill Drive: The Chromoid drives its drill appendage into the hero who rolled Special Damage. That hero takes 22 damage (disregarding SP) and has their SP disabled for the next 3 rounds.

Swift Servos: The Chromoid picks up the pace, hastening itself at the end of the round for the next 3 rounds.

Passive Specials:

Color-Coded: The Chromoid cannot take damage until it is in the red. Each succesful hit on the Chromoid brings it down one color in the cycle: Blue -> Green -> Yellow -> Red. (Hit the Chromoid while it is Blue and it'll turn Green.)

Maitenace Protocol: At the end of every round, the Chromoid's color will move back one in the rotation. (If left Red at the end of the round, it'll move back to yellow.)

Machine Logic: The Chromoid defies row when attakcing a hero of higher level then it.

"Arthur, let's light up Magnus with a little bit of lightning. The rest of you are on the Chromoid. Stick to the back!"

Boomingham heals Arthur from the backrow.

[Emjajoas]

Em fires an arrow at Chromoid B from the back row.

[Kintobor]

"Do you at least think you can move? You're still not safe while you're here."

Karie tries to lift the cleric up and behind the party lines.

She tries to wipe the tears out of her eyes and makes sure the cleric is in no pain where he's resting.

"Do you guys need any help? I can try and do what I can... but..."

[Endgame]

Karie grabs the Cleric by the shoulders and prepares to relocate him, but the Cleric shakes his head rapidly.

"No, stop! You can't move an injured person around like that... I'm safer slumped on the floor here then anywhere else in the room."

Edited June 29, 2013 by Endgame

[Kintobor]

Karie looked back to the party and then back to the cleric worryingly.

"Do you think Masson's going to be mad about this? About what I'm about to do? I don't want to hurt him, but I'm afraid he's going to hurt himself."

[Flipz]

OOC: fffff....I asked for a heal.

"I asked for a heal, Boomingham. These essences aren't cheap, and that was a complete waste of one." I was going to give it to Karie.

Arthur's Actions:

Blindness vs Magnus

Blindness vs Magnus OR Sealing vs Magnus

Blindness vs Magnus OR Sealing vs Magnus OR Confusion vs Magnus

Blindness vs Magnus OR Sealing vs Magnus OR Lightning vs Magnus

[Endgame]

The cleric coughs, then responds, his voice still a bit shaky.

"About destroying his automaton, or helping the party do it? He'd have no problem doing that - if he saw it whacked one of his men, he would come down here and reduce it to scrap himself. If you're talking about fighting alongside the heroes, though... He won't blame you. He'll blame no one but himself for that. And even though the deaths of his family were out of his control, he still refuses to blame anyone but himself for his family crumbling around him."

Edited June 29, 2013 by Endgame

[Kintobor]

Karie looked down. This wouldn't be easy to cope with. She couldn't let Masson blame himself for her own mistake. She shook her head.

"He's gone through enough. He doesn't need to think I've abandoned him as well. He didn't abandon me."

Karie looks over her Syndicate hood. Was this all just like what happened to Kayla?

"Guys, I'd prefer not to fight. I might be the only person here who could get Masson to stand down, but I can't do it unless I don't fight with you. If any of you need to be healed, I could probably get away with that, but I can't do anything else. I'm sorry..."

[Endgame]

[Emjajoas]

Em draws back his bow and fires at Chromoid B from the back row.

If Chromoid B is destroyed before Em's turn, Em uses a potion on Arnulf instead.

[Flipz]

Arthur casts Lightning at Chromoid B twice from the Back Row, casting Armor Sundering on Magnus in between his normal attacks.

[Shoker86]

Arnulf attacks chromoid B from back row "With whom are you fighting,with us or with them. Lord Boomingham I hate to say it but this if this trecherous behavior continues in front of our eyes, I'll have to wonder how we are dealing with treason. I don't like standing side by side with someone who heals others instead of party members, someone who refuses to attack."

Arnulf attacks chromoid B from back row "With whom are you fighting,with us or with them. Lord Boomingham I hate to say it but this if this trecherous behavior continues in front of our eyes, I'll have to wonder how we are dealing with treason. I don't like standing side by side with someone who heals others instead of party members, someone who refuses to attack."

"I offered my assistance, Arnulf! If any of you need healing, I can help! I can't help you outright though, since I'm the only thing keeping Masson from not going into an all out frenzy. I'm the last thing keeping him from losing himself and going nuts. I don't like what I'm doing Arnulf, but if we're going to end this peacefully, then I can't help you in combat! I'm sorry."

[Emjajoas]

"Let the woman do as she sees fit," Em barks. "If there's a way to end this peacefully, it's through her, like she said. It's not treachery to help another friend. The Cleric stood down and was hit trying to save us from that robot, Arnulf, and if you don't show gratitude for that-- or belittle the pain he's enduring for trying that-- it's your honour on the line, not Karie's."
