Endgame Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 "Magic fell greatly out of favor after he was defeated. There are no magic shops here anymore... Iris is still trying to recharge after her last announcement, so our best bet is to strike her down while we have her peeled from the Echoes." Quote
Emjajoas Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 "Works for me," Em mutters, toying with his bow. "We got a plan or are we just going to swarm her?" Quote
Endgame Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 "We really can't plan... Both due to time constraints and the situation itsdelf. if any of you have ideas, pitch them now." Quote

The_Customizer Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 "Ok, first off, what was the scroll or piece of paper you had before? It seems that might be what she is going after. Additionally, we need to go attack her immediately, if she has to wait a short while until she can use her hexing again, we may just get lucky enough to strike her down again. If we split our group, some of us can deal with the demons in the Homeless corridor, having some Proggs fight against us would not bid well. Perhaps, we can even get them to help us. I say Fydelle, Em, and Johon go deal with the demons there, while I, Sarge, and Solon stop Iris. Whatever she is looking for, it must hold some value to her, if we can find it before she does, we may have a bargaining disk through which we can gain a slight advantage. Aside from the paper I mentioned before, Solon, is there anything else here that she could possibly want?" Quote
Bricksandparts Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 "I guess that's as good a plan as any... Hope it works. We can travel by rooftop to have an advantage perhaps." Quote
joeshmoe554 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 "Do you think half of our group would be strong enough to stand up to Iris and her minions, or the many oculoids and proggs in the homeless district. Committing our forces to one battle will increase our chances of winning that battle, while splitting up would only weaken us on both fronts." Quote
Bricksandparts Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 "You bring up a fair point, Jeaux. The only problem is that if we attack the Proggs Iris could just use her spell... Wait, that might work. If we fight Iris we stand a much smaller chance, and Iris will have to either waste her spell again and become vulnerable or be confronted with all the proggs." Quote
Pyrovisionary Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 "Let's just go straight to iris. Problem is, if we don't go to the homeless district, then we'll probably miss some vital information or something like that." Quote

There are atleast two hundred Oculoids there, not to mention a good amount of brainwashed Proggs. We're going to be branded warmongers all over again, thanks to this..." "I can think of little else of value besides Animutilav she would want; obviously, the colony's records are all that; citizenship papers, a census or two... But nothing that would hold any true value to those wretched demons." "You bring up a fair point, Jeaux. The only problem is that if we attack the Proggs Iris could just use her spell... Wait, that might work. If we fight Iris we stand a much smaller chance, and Iris will have to either waste her spell again and become vulnerable or be confronted with all the proggs." "As far as we know, Iris can't use off a spell of the magnitude she used earlier... She over-exerted herself with that spell. Obviously she'll have plenty of ether to get a few good licks in, but I don't think she could pull that same trick again..." Solon sighs. "Most of the Ohalanx has reporte din here, mortally wounded - along with plenty of citizens. I can only assume the rest are currently locking themselves up in fear, brainwashed, or dead. Like I mentioned earlier this forsaken day: most of our actual fighters were sent out to die during our invasion of Luosh. Our main fighting force has been thwarted, and our citizens turned into maniacs. We're practically on our own." "Do you think half of our group would be strong enough to stand up to Iris and her minions, or the many oculoids and proggs in the homeless district.

Committing our forces to one battle will increase our chances of winning that battle, while splitting up would only weaken us on both fronts." Fydelle grunts, and then sighs. "Honestly... Just going for an assault on Iris seems like our best bet. The seven of us that are able to hold our own in a fight -" Suddenly, the door creaks open, and a familiar yellow face slithers in to the room. "Eight. Eight *wheeze* fighters." Punii corrects Fydelle. " - the eight of us would have to take on Iris. No way in hell we're ever going to liberate the Homeless district. Best take our chance and go straight for the head of the leader." Solon sighs. "So, heroes. Are you ready to head off and dance the final dance?" Quote
Bricksandparts Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 "I guess it's our best chance." Johon says, swinging his sword. "Back into the fray... back into the fray." Quote
The_Customizer Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 "Yes, lets go!" Erdathcath consumes a smelling salts in preparation for the battle. Quote

"To the *wheeze* final act!" Punii, Beast Bomber Extraordinaire As the party leaves the subterranena Storeroom, Fydelle stops for a moment while the other go topside. Through the hatch they exitted from, they can hear Fydelle converse with his wounded troops. "Sir... This is nothing short of suicide." "I'm well aware." "But... then, why do this?! Why not linger back in this storeroom's safety, come up with a plan -" "This is literally the only thing we can do. It is either linger and become an unsuspecting slave of these bastards... Or go out trying to change something for the better. I'm still wounded. I may very well die. But my brother was able to accept this fate when he was struck down in the invasion; I may not be as good of a fighter as he ever was, but I like to think I'm a better soldier. I'd rather die heading into the chrage than perish in the shackles of another." "...Very well, sir." "Assuming this all somehow blows over and I'm not here to see it... Your bonusses are in my office. I wish you all the best of uck, and godspeed, gentleman." Fydelle surfaces, and the collective group all begin their walk to the Stronghold for the final confrontation. The Colony as now eerily silent, not a single sign of life remaining - even some of the buildings were ransacked and destroyed. Parts of the Colony looke dlike they were never even inhabited now, a stark contrast to the bustling and overcrowded place it was earlier. The party walks along in silence, wondering how much had truly happened while they were a sleep. However, Solon breaks the silence. "...My children respect you heroes a lot, you know. You especially, Em." Edited January 21, 2014 by Endgame Quote
Pyrovisionary Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Ooc: During grogmas I Recieved conspiritor and sent My duplovian helmet and halberd to Flipz I also sent my Mythril shield to Palthadric. Quote
joeshmoe554 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 OOC: A couple of corrections: Remove the Golden Handcannon, Blue Jelly, 1 Volative Venom, and the Holy Bomb; Add the Serpenthead Shield, Automaton Armor, Soma, and a Tonic; The Handy Suitcase is not equipped and the Automaton Armor is equipped; Also, Johon tossed both Erdathcath and Jeaux an Amethyst and Diamond back in the Echoes. Jeaux's stats in the Statistics Thread should be accurate and up to date. "Are you referring to Heroica in general, or us specifically? We have done little to improve your situation here, and unless I am mistaken, it was Heroica who defeated your people before and forced you to live in the shadows now." Quote
The_Customizer Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) OOC: I should have hastened, right? Erdathcath also consumes a mead for the upcoming fight. Edited January 21, 2014 by The_Customizer Quote
Bricksandparts Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) OoC: there are two Fydelle dos'! Zip! "Acting!" Johon uses a nostrum, smelling salts, and mead. "Before we head out, I think I have some stuff that will help us in battle." Johon says, removing all of his gems, scrolls, wands, and all of his extra weapons and artifacts. "Borrow what you will, just make sure to get it back to me." Johon then tosses a nostrum and mead to Fydelle and a nostrum and smelling salts to Solon. "Get ready for battle. I don't plan to lose this." Edited January 21, 2014 by Bricksandparts Quote
