Heroica RPG - Quest #77: Your Elves are Better than Ours

[Brickdoctor]

Results of Round One of the Skirmish at the Warehouses:

Sir Abârlômi vs. Pongcanis Lieutenant — War Cry (Party is Encouraged)

>Alexander Vandagant vs. Pongcanis Spearman — Marking the Favored ((((7*3)+15)*2*2)-10=134 Darkness-elemental Damage; can choose to favor Humanoids or Beasts)

>Ahvialyn uses Potion (+10 HP)

Ellaria Arbour vs. Pongcanis Swordsman — Special Damage Damage (20-3=17 Damage)

Pongcanis Crossbowman — Free Hit against Sir Abârlômi (15-7=8 Damage)

Sir Abârlômi gives a shout that inspires you to fight harder. Alexander, you continue to fire arrows with practiced calm and efficiency, as your shot flies right past the spearman's shield and strikes him between the eyes. Ahvialyn restores most of her Health. Ellaria, the swordsman dodges your attack and counters with a blow of his own. The crossbowman gets off a weak shot against Abârlômi.

Throlar joins the battle. Alexander can choose to favor either Humanoids or Beasts.

Party Leader, choose the order of actions.

All combatants, choose your targets and the Row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, move, heal, cast a magic spell, use an item instead of attacking, or attempt something else outside the box.

Wedge09, choose whether you want to favor Humanoids or Beasts.

Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone has acted.

[Duvors]

"Hello there fellows, I see you have a spot of bother on your hands, mind if I help?"

Throlar attacks Poncanis Swordsman from the front row with the Morning Star.

Edited September 19, 2013 by Lord Duvors

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen stepped forward, deliberately treading on the corpse of the Pongcanis leader.

Good against villagers is one thing. Good against the heroes is something else.

Yes Arthur I will fragilize the first swordspog there.

Saevael, please join me in attacking this first swordspog. But you stay back whilst I distract him from up front.

Battle order

Boomingham - sword A, scupperer

>Nerwen - sword A, fragile scroll

>Arthur - sword A, darkness(rodrick's sword)(enchant shield)

>Elerylian - sword A, Elven blade

>Saeavel - sword A, Elven blade

Nerwen - sword A, magical staff

Kadarphazân - crossbowman, longsword

Free hits

Swordsman B - Boomingham

I think that's what everyone ordered. There are two swordspogs left, so if everyone could check, that'd be good.

BD, if you could hold off running round until Flipz and Zepher have ok'd that'd be great. Thanks!

QM Note:

No problem.

[Zepher]

Roger'd.

[Flipz]

"I'd actually prefer you to Frail the second Swordsman--soften him up for Lord Boomingham's Counterstrike and my own hit next Round."

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen nodded to Arthur curtly, her focus as she chanted from the scroll sliding smoothly from one swordspog to the next.

Battle order

Boomingham - sword A, scupperer

>Arthur - sword A, darkness(rodrick's sword)(enchant shield)

>Nerwen - sword B, fragile scroll

Nerwen - sword A, magical staff

>Saeavel - sword A, Elven blade

>Elerylian - sword A, Elven blade

Swordsman B - Boomingham

good to go!

[Brickdoctor]

QM Note:

The battle strategy seems fairly straightforward, but I don't have time to auto-roll right now, sorry.

Results of Round Three of the Battle with the Pongcanis Raiders:

Lord Lawrence Boomingham vs. Pongcanis Swordsman A — Critical Hit ((((26*2)+11+5)*2*2)-5=267 Darkness- Fire-elemental Damage)

>Arthur Justus Regulus VII vs. Pongcanis Swordsman B — Special Damage Enchantment (+1 SP; -8 Ether)

>Nerwen Calmcacil uses Scroll of Frailty on Pongcanis Swordsman B — Success (Pongcanis Swordsman B is Fragile; -1 Ether)

Nerwen Calmcacil vs. Pongcanis Swordsman A Pongcanis Swordsman B — Damage (20-3=17 Damage)

>Saeavel vs. Pongcanis Swordsman A Pongcanis Swordsman B — Miss

>Elerylian vs. Pongcanis Swordsman A Pongcanis Swordsman B — Miss

Sir Kadarphazân vs. >Pongcanis Crossbowman — Critical Hit ((((12*2)+51+5)/2)-1=39 Damage)

Boomingham, you fight now with ease, one attack flowing into another, a glimpse of a younger, nimbler warrior on display as your upwards slash sends a swordsman to the ground. Arthur, you pause to reinforce your shield. Nerwen, you successfully make the other swordsman Fragile, but neither you nor Saeavel or Elerylian can land hits. Sir Kadarphazân brings his sword down with mighty force, only the distance between him and the crossbowman saving the latter.

A Pongcanis Swordsman will join the battle in 4 Rounds.

The battle continues.

[Flipz]

"Master Elerylian and I have the swordsman, if Sir Kadarphazân can take the crossbowmen again, everyone else can stay put. Lady Nerwen, I'd appreciate if you made the crossbowman Fragile after Sir Kadarphazân attacks. I'd also like Master Elerylian to strike before me, if possible." Arthur repeats, while Elerylian joins him in attacking Pongcanis Swordsman B from the Back Row.

[Chromeknight]

Why after Arthur?

[Zepher]

"I'm sure he doesn't want to risk his hat getting tattered by their nasty blades. Kad, we'll both be taking on that crossbow chap. Fowards!"

Edited September 19, 2013 by Zepher

[Flipz]

"After so that I can deal the final blow." Just put Boomers after Sir K., and then Frail after them--Hopefully he'll still be alive, so we can get max Overkill.

[Duvors]

(OCC; Sandy, Wedge? am I the only one who remembers the battle we're fighting?)

[Chromeknight]

I did not realise that you hate the Pongcanae so much that you desire to be the one delivering the killing blow.

Keep close watch upon yourself Arthur, anger and hate lead to many things, few of them good.

Nerwen again indicated for Saeavel to not attack and to stay put keeping an eye out for any other Pongcanae.

>Elerylian - sword B, Elven blade

>Nerwen Calmcacil uses Scroll of Frailty on >Pongcanis Crossbowman — Success (Pongcanis Crossbowman Fragile for 3 Rounds; -1 Ether)

>Saeavel does nothing.

Elerylian sets up your attack, Arthur, allowing you to gain a large amount of Gold as you bring down the swordsman. The crossbowman gets a hit in on Kadarphazân, and, Nerwen, you prepare to make him Fragile, but Boomingham is there once again, sword flashing, and the last of the beasts lies at his feet before you successfully cast your spell.

You are victorious! Everyone gains XP, and Nerwen and Boomingham Level-up. The enemies drop a Pongcanis Whip, Meads (4), 75 Gold, Potions (2), and Remedies (2).

Two Pongcanis Swordsman will soon arrive at the scene of the battle.

Party Leader, please divide the loot:

[Flipz]

Arthur adds 255 Gold to the loot pile.

"Sir Kadarphazân, you should borrow my Ancient Crown and Sticky Gloves for the moment--Lord Boomingham, if you could lend him your Marksman's Monocle, it would be most helpful as well. Heck, if you lent him Scupperer, I could lend him my Overkill Gloves."

"In any event--Master Elerylian, please borrow my Cloak of Deception, and Lady Saevael, I'd be happy to let you borrow my Scarf of Misfortune as well." Arthur then casts the Scroll of Recklessness on himself and Boomingham, then drinks a Grand Tonic.

[Brickdoctor]

QM Note:

Wedge, you didn't pick a type to favor, so I gave you 'Humanoid'

Results of Round Two of the Skirmish at the Warehouses:

Sir Abârlômi vs. Pongcanis Lieutenant — Extra Critical Furious Hit ((((8*3)+21+5)*2)-10=90 Damage; must target Pongcanis Lieutenant)

>Alexander Vandagant vs. >Pongcanis Crossbowman — Hit (((7+15)*2*3*2)-1=263 Darkness-elemental Damage)

Ahvialyn vs. Pongcanis Swordsman — Damage (20-3=17 Damage)

Throlar Wineghlim vs. Pongcanis Swordsman — Miss

Ellaria Arbour vs. Pongcanis Swordsman — Aim Special Damage ((10*2*2)-5=35 Fire- Lighting-elemental Damage)

Sir Abârlômi gives his attack all he's got, but comes up just short of defeating the leader, who staggers backwards. Alexander, focusing more closely on the weak points of the crossbowman, you fire an arrow that slips through the fur beneath his arm and between his ribs into his heart. Throlar, you team up with Ahvialyn in charging the swordsman, but you miss your attack, and Ahvialyn is struck by the Pog. Ellaria, you stay back waiting for the right moment, carefully aiming your strike before you step forward and swing your staff.

The battle continues.

Party Leader, choose the order of actions.

All combatants, choose your targets and the Row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, move, heal, cast a magic spell, use an item instead of attacking, or attempt something else outside the box.

Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone has acted.

I forgot, damnd, sorry.

QM Note:

No problem. I didn't know which one you wanted to favor, but Humanoids are more common than Beasts, typically. If you'd prefer Beasts, I don't mind changing it, since it doesn't affect the results of the Round.

[Duvors]

"I will attack the Proncanis Swordsman from the front row, Ellaria, I suggest you heal Ahvialin and that the knight attacks the Proncanis Lieutenant."

[Sandy]

"I will attack the Proncanis Swordsman from the front row, Ellaria, I suggest you heal Ahvialin and that the knight attacks the Proncanis Lieutenant."

Ellaria looks at the dwarf incredulously. She was not pleased to see the dwarf butt in on the battle, with all the disruptive behaviour he had posed earlier. And now he was being demeaning as well.

"Thank you, Mr. Wineghilm, but this is not my first battle by any means. I am aware that's the best course of action."

Ellaria asks Sir Abarlomi to attack the Pongcanis Lieutenant from the front row while she herself focuses on healing Ahvialyn from the back.

[Duvors]

"Thank you, Mr. Wineghilm, but this is not my first battle by any means. I am aware that's the best course of action."

"Just a suggestion miss, there is no need to act as if you had been insulted."

[Zepher]

"Nerwen, if I could get a mead or two, that'd be delightful." Boomingham tosses his Marksman's Monocle to the Knight, but sheaths Scupperer. "Now, I think it's time that we go find that Dread Pirate. I'm not as young as I used to be, and I can't hack at these chaps all day. So those ones that they called for, let's see if we can keep them alive."
