Heroica RPG - Quest #79: Fading Spark

[K-Nut]

"So why do you keep saying I'm like your master, even while I apparently have these beasts inside me? You are truly stubborn,"

Althior listened to the explanation of the Spark. "That's impossible... It's not- it can't be real!"

"As the Necromancer already knows, we Oculoids are only created with two things: our purpose and our vice. Can you guess my vice, heroes?"

"Wrath. Your recently deceased cohort told me before we drove him through."

[Endgame]

"The same cohort that is currently splattered all over the witch, I presume. But no matter. I assure you, Necromancer, the Spark is as real as I am... And our Master is only months away from full control of it. It'll be glorious, Necromancer, that I can assure you. The last pieces of humanity that remain inside of you may deny our Final Solution's beauty, but when the day comes you will see just how wonderful our plans truly are.

The irony is amazing, isn't it? The Spark of Life will spell the death of mankind! But enough of this inane bantering...

As the Necromancer said, heroes, I am the Oculoid of Wrath. Hundreds of humans have died at my hands before... What makes you think you'll be any different? Perhaps a demonstration of my power is in order, heroes..."

The inky markings on the ground begin to glow and hiss, pulsating loudly. Even the Oculoids, arranged in perfect formation, do the same.

"We Oculoids have our differences, our power struggles. We all have different vices. And yet, at the end of the day... We all are born from the same spark. We all serve the same master. We all have the same goal. At the end of the day, heroes... We are ONE!"

Black light bursts out of the markings now, the Oculoids diving into the dead soil. The runes slither about the dead land, seemingly grabbing the other Oculoids and pushing them into the center of the formation. The Oculoid Chief absorbs the power of his cohorts, all joining into an inky mass in the middle of the barren wasteland... The massive mound of plasm hisses and sparks, jolts of black magic surging through it. It emits an aura of power, nearly the pushing the heroes of their feet. It becomes obvious what the Chief's incantation on the ground was: A spell to join their collective might!

As the party comes to this horrible realization, four horrible tentacles shoot out of the mass of darkness. The plasm begins to take shape, beginning to hover into the sky...

And the Oculoid Amalgam was born!

The beast was a terror to behold, hovering menacingly over the party. He was a colossus of ink, trails of color and darkness flowing through his black body. His barbed claws gnash and spark with dark magic, seeming capable of tearing the heroes in two effortlessly. The eye seemed to hold great powers of its own, the heroes feeling their wills slip just looking at the purple iris. The giant barbs in the Amalgam's back spread out like wings, making this nightmarish beast much faster then his subordinates. Small barbed orbs of darkness orbit the beast, seemingly ready to join their master in battle. The demon speaks, his voice omnipresent and menacing... it seemed to echo off of everything in the forest, filling the heroes with a sense of dread like none other.

"It's amazing, isn't it? The mind of a single Oculoid, controlling the powers of an entire horde... I'm more than powerful enough to destroy you all utterly! Do you still wish to fight, heroes? Or will you die at my hands, just like the rest always have and always will?!"

It seems although this beast was the collective strength of the Oculoid horde, only the Chief was controlling this inky monstrosity.

[Kintobor]

Karie simply stared up at the beast, her hand outstretched to Johon.

"Johon, nostrum. Now!"

[K-Nut]

Althior steps back as Finnegan wets himself, however that's possible.

"Well, I'll see you folks back in the epilogue! Toodle loo!"

Althior takes a Smelling Salts before driving his scepter towards the Beast. "Come on then," He taunted, "Don't have all day now do we?"

[Bricksandparts]

"I already have. I just want to get this over with.

!"

[Endgame]

QM Note: B&P, are you giving karie that Nostrum?

[Bricksandparts]

"Oh." Johon says, not understanding the statement originally. "Here" Johon says, quickly passing Karie a nostrum.

[Kintobor]

Karie takes Johon's nostrum and chugs it down.

"Well, I'm as ready as I'll ever be."

[Endgame]

"So... You choose to fight. You choose to oppose me?

Hear me, heroes: None of your verminous kind has ever escaped my wrath, and you are no exception! Allow me to demonstrate to you the power that we Oculoids weild!

EN GARDE!"

The Oculoid Amalgam drifts towards the heroes, ready for battle. A ring of satellites surround the collosal inky beast, ready to aid their master... As the party draws their weapons to strike down this absymal monster, they knew that this was the final battle. The fate of the documents... Arnold Keolo... Taurost, and perhaps even the entire forest was staked on this bout!

Prepare For The Final Battle!

"You shall pay the price for your meddling!"

Edited September 8, 2013 by Endgame

[Endgame]

QM Note: Note that I've made an error for enemy types. The Reinforcement Satellite is meant to be Rock type, and the Blitz satellite Fire.

[Kintobor]

OOC: Good to know.

"Alright, so I've thought about this, and we really need to work on those area of effect attacks. Johon and me will cover the stupid hovering satelites, while you Althior keep that big blot busy. As well, Althior, Johon, stay back. I know this sounds pretentious, but this thing looks nasty! I'm going to take a precaution next round, and equip the paper doll, so just as a heads up, lets deal with these blasted satellites quickly. Where's a canooner when you need one!?"

Battle Order

>Johon vs. Haste Satellite

>Althior vs. Technique Satellite

>Johon vs. Reinforcement Satellite

>Althior vs. Amalgam

>Karie vs. Blitz Satellite A if no damage is taken. IF damage is taken, Karie heals the player who took the most damage.

I'm once again going to ask what Special Mirror does in terms of the Amalgam AND the satellites, just in case it gets rolled, because knowing my luck, it will.

Edited September 7, 2013 by Kintobor

[Endgame]

QM Note: First of all, added the Amalgam's hex immunity. Sorry about that, folks.

Special Mirror Breakdown:

Dark Wave: All enemies take damage equal to their level.

Succumbing Sonar: One random enemy is hexed, and another is confused.

Bomb Ring: Karie spawns her own bomb squad. If the Amalgam's squad of Blast Satellites is defeated entirely, Karie's bomb squad kamikazes the Amalgam, doing 5 damage disregarding row and SP for each Blast Satellite. (The Amalgam's bombsquad blows up before karie's basically.)

Tree Topple: I'll count it as a critical hit, I suppose - can't have you nuking my boss monsters down to 1 HP instantly.

(Note that Tree Topple will be directed towards a random hero if the Technique Satellite triggers it.)

Vigor Boost: Karie gains 1 level for the rest of the battle.

Defense Boost: Karie gains 2 SP for the rest of the battle.

Speed Boost: Karie is hastened next round.

Special Boost: Karie gets to use her shield.

So all of them function pretty normally, except Tree Topple.

Yes, karie could theoretically summon a squad of Satellites to kamikaze in her name.

[Kintobor]

QM Note: First of all, added the Amalgam's hex immunity. Sorry about that, folks.

Boo. Boo! That's no fun!

Special Boost: Karie gets to use her shield.

I can summon my own- then why the hell did I take a Nostrum? Thanks again!

[Endgame]

QM Note: Am I forgiven for allowing you to summon up a kamikaze squad?

"Strategizing is futile, Witch. Don't you get it? You can't win! Nobody has ever escaped from my clutches... What makes you think your little band of rodents is the exception?!"

[K-Nut]

Althior swings his staff at the technique satellite and fires a beam of light at the Oculoid Amalgam, both from the back row. "You say I'm like your master. You follow him blindly because he must hold the power. If I'm like him, then I have the power. Logic. Or are you too stupid to compute that, insect?"

[Endgame]

"Any intelligence you may have is invalidated by the last pieces of humanity festering within you, Necromancer. It really is that simple."

[Endgame]

QM Note: Lets get this show on the road, shall we?

>Johon VS Haste Satellite (back): Damage Steal (No gold earned)

>Althior VS Technique Satellite (back): Hit Hit (12+35=47/2=24 damage)

>Johon VS Reinforcement Satellite (back): Damage Critical Hit (8x3=24+25=49/2=25 damage)

>Althior VS Oculoid Amalgam (back): Meditate Hit (12+35=47x2=94 damage)

>Karie VS Blitz Satellite A (back): Damage Shield: Mass Illusion (Both satellites Hexed!)

The Oculoid Amalgam Devours:

>Blitz Satellite A: Hexed, 20 damage!

>Blitz Satellite B: Hexed, 20 damage!

>Haste Satellite: Oculoid Amalgam Hastened next round!

The Oculoid Amalgam summons:

Blitz Satellite, Technique Satellite, Blitz Satellite, Technique Satellite, Blitz Satellite

The final battle begins! Johon runs at the Haste satellit,e the lesser demon swerving out of the way of Johon's assault. The raider tries to pocket some gold from the beast, but to no avail. Althior cuts straight through the Amalgam's battle formation and shoots down the white-eyed Technique satellite in a burst of light. Johon gathers himself from his previous miss, chasing down the reinforcement Satellite. He narrowly avoids a jab from one of the Amalgam's many tentacles, striking down his target with a migty slash. The Oculoid Amalgam tries to bombard Althior with a flurry of darkness, but the necromancer rolls out of the way of the demon's onslaught of attacks. He lobs a ball of light at the monstrosity, hitting him squarely in the eye. karie conjurs an illsuion, fooling two of the Amalgam's satellites into serving her.

The Oculoid Amalgam greedily snatches up the remaining satellites with his tentacles.His eye momentarily flickers away and the demon opens up its mouth,revealing a gaping maw of serated teeth. The Amalgam only recieves a fireball in his gut for eating the hexed satellites, but the Haste satellite grants him an impressive speed boost. The Oculoid shuts its mouth, the eye fading back into existence.

The Oculoid Amalgam summons up another ring of satellites, the demons orbitting their master.

"Only a fool is fearless in the face of death. I will teach you what it truly means to be afraid!"

"Here we go again! Same as before, keep back and focus on the guys in the middle. It'll help us when we get an area of effect attack. Johon, you've got clean up with me, Althior, keep up the pace."

Battle Order

>Johon- Technique Satellite B

>Althior- Amalgam

>Johon- Technique Satellite A

>Althior- Amalgam

>Karie- Blitz Satellite B IF NOT already dealt with. IF defeated, Karie attacks Blitz Satellite A or C. IF A and C are dealt with, Karie heals the hero with lowest health. IF no one is hurt, Karie swaps the Ethereal Cloak for the Paper Doll (which should be in my inventory...)

[K-Nut]

Althior sends two spells of light at the amalgam from the back row.

[Endgame]

"I find it astonishing, Necromancer... You describe the Witch and the Raider as some of the most pathetic and idiotic creatures you've ever encountered... An accurate assessment. And yet here you are, obeying her orders to the letter. Has the lap dog forgotten he's a wolf? Or are you just as worthless as the heroes and the hall you associate with?"

"And I find it astonishing that you are such an idiot. And even more astonishing that these morons follow you. Now. Prepare to die."

[Endgame]

"The words are the Necromancer's, not mine - though I must agree with him. You are the definition of pitiful, both of you. How could such imperfect beings ever hope to defeat me? It is just as the street knave confessed: You two are not defined by your intelligence, your achievements, your meaning... You humans are defined by you flaws. Nothing more!"

>Althior (Light) VS Oculoid Amalgam (back): Special Damage Special Damage (Bomb Ring!)

OoC: Shouldn't Althior have 2 minions?

OoC: Shouldn't Althior have 2 minions?

I haven't rolled a shield yet, thus I can't have raised any undead.

"Karie, put Johon first in the Battle Order so he can possibly take out some satellites if he ravages," Althior will swing his staff at the first Satellite on the list when it's his turn, then use light on the Amalgam from the back row. If there are no satellites left, he uses light on the Amalgam twice from the back row.

[Endgame]

QM Note: Ater a discussion in the General Discussion topic, the Oculoid Amalgam's Tree Topple special has been modified to better accommodate special mirroring.
