C3

[Endgame]

C3 yields nothing as well.

E5

[Endgame]

The loose soil beneath E5 yields nothing good or bad, simply medium traces of moss.

C3: Nothing

C4: Nothing; High traces of moss

C5: Toxin Tendril

D4: Nothing; High traces of moss

D5: Nothing; High traces of moss

E3: Nothing

E5: Nothing; Medium traces of moss

They were narrowing down the criteria a bit, but there were still quite a few possibilities remaining... perhaps the party could find a way to excavate this area faster?

"Try E5, Johon."

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: I did, it's just not updated in the picture

[Kintobor]

"Sorry, my heads not in the game here. Try digging in D6."

[Endgame]

QM Note: It would appear my head isn't in the game either... The image has been fixed, sorry, folks.

Johon digs his shovel in D6, pull up a large shovelful of dirt, the tool nearly bending from the weight. The party looks curiously into the hole dug, only to see a black claw inside the soil... It seems to sense the sunbristling on its claw, convulsing from the light. With a hiss its full body emerges - first another claw shoots up from the dirt, and then a tail rises up from the ground. The soil sifts away to reveal the from of a massive scorpion, its eyes glowing a malignant blue. Two more iron-clad bugs scurry up from the ground, two toxic tendrils slithering up; They slowly advance towards the party, getting ready to pounce.

One thing was obvious from these creatures: none of these were native to the forest! What was going on here...?

The group of foes assault the party, the heroes not yet having time to ponder what was happening.

Prepare for Battle!

Johon stumbles back as he realizes the enemy.

"What the heck are these doing here?!"

Johon uses a smelling salts.

OoC: Just realized my health is messed up, it should be full for now

[Kintobor]

"This is exactly why I asked you to buff yourself, Johon!"

Karie draws Sexy as she looks her opponents over.

"Everyone, stay back! Johon, keep the king busy, but stay to the back! Althoir, use an ice spell on one of the Iron Scorpions. I've got the other.

Karie attacks Iron Scorpion B from the back row.

However, something odd happens when it makes contact - one of the claws is blown clean off from the blast, and the wound was dripping ink instead of blood...

Did you do a separate roll for the 1/6 Chance of the Cursed effect?

Althior repeats his action.

QM Note: No, I didn't, but I just did. I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Round Two of the Scorpion Scuffle!

>Althior VS Iron Scorpion A (back): Damage (28/2=14-6=8 damage)

>Toxic Tendril (Red): Infects Iron Scorpion B

The party does well, Karie putting her skills as a witch to work for the first time in actual combat. In one fell swoop Karie robs the King Of The Scorpions and the Red Tendril of their free will, leaving them hexed for a short period of time. The only one who gets an actual hit in is Johon, and once again he eerily notes that the creatures were bleeding ink..

"Any clues to these enemies? These aren't natural, something really strange is going on here... I mean, they're bleeding ink..."

[K-Nut]

Althior steps back, looking at the bloody gash on his arm. He's had worse. "They're Iron scorpions. Probably some work of an alchemist. Not unusual," Althior repeats his action.

[Kintobor]

"Ugh, don't let that ink on you! I probably stains! And considering presentation is everything, the last thing I need is ink stains on my new outfit!"

She felt somewhat uncomfortable having the control over the two beasts, but it was not like she had a choice. She did what she felt had to be done.

Althoir

Can I get a clarification on how hexed works on enemies? If damage or special are rolled, are they directed to a random enemy?

[K-Nut]

"Stains? We're fighting huge, most likely poisonous scorpions and you're worried about stains?"

"And I thought I was the odd one,"

"You're a floating sack full of gems and crap. You are the odd one,"

[Endgame]

QM Note: That is correct, Kintobor.

Round Three of the Scorpion Scuffle!

>Johon takes a Nostrum (back)

>Althior VS Iron Scorpion A (back): Hit (12+33=45x2=90-5=85 damage)

>Toxic Tendril (Green): Infects Karie!

The party continues their successful assault on the massive insects. Karie damage one of the Iron Scorpions while Johon goes into a frenzy, ravaging all of their foes and pocketing some gold. In a blast of ice, Althior kills the other Iron Scorpion... but perhaps "kill" is the wrong word. The scorpions gets flung back by the magic and reduces into inky goop mid-air, collapsing into a pile of writhing black plasm as it hits the ground.

The King Of The Scorpion's eyes flash a malignant yellow as he regains his will, the party seeing an obvious malice inside of them...

"...HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..."

...But they soon return to their usual dull blue color.

[Kintobor]

Karie gets blasted by spores as she coughs violently.

"Ugh, what the hell is this all about?"

She fumbles through her things, finding a remedy.

"Johon, take this potion and deal with the King. Also, you should take a mead. Althoir, you deal with the Iron Scorpion."

Karie heals Johon with a Grand Potion from the back row.

Battle Order and suggested Actions

>Karie- Grand Potion, Johon

>Johon- Mead

>Althoir- Iron

>Johon- King

[K-Nut]

Althior throws an ice spell at Iron Scorpion B from the back row.

[Endgame]

QM Note: it has been 24 hours, so I'll just have Johon go with Karie's suggested actions. Also, I believe Kintobor may be away for a bit, so anyone can suggest a battle order/suggested actions.

Round Four of the Scorpion Scuffle!

>Karie uses a Grand Potion on Johon (back)

>Johon takes a Mead (back)

>Althior (Ice) VS Iron Scorpion B (back): Special Damage (Swift Stings, all heroes take damage equal to their level.)

>Johon VS King Of The Scorpions (back): Hit Critical Hit (8x3=24+24=48x2=96/2=48-2=46 damage)

>Toxic Tendril (Red): No Infection

The party gears up for the nxt round, taking a bit of a beating from the surprisingly agile Iron Scorpion... However, the enemies were weakening, some being able to be dispatched in a single blow.
