Heroica RPG - Quest #81: Home Sweet Home

[Endgame]

QM Note: If I could get a battle order or some actions her, that'd be grand.

[joeshmoe554]

"From the look of our enemies, it seems there are a few elements of a strategy we should focus on. Whoever attacks the Black Tentacles should be the first into the fray, as to limit the damage from their dark blast. It would be good for Fydelle to focus on one of them, as he might be able to steal one of those jinxy juices to use on Iris herself. All of the tentacles should be targetted before Iris, and probably by weaker heroes to prevent Iris from hexing anyone."

[The_Customizer]

OOC: Sorry, been afk for a while, went and saw the LEGO Movie.

"Iris, there is still a chance for you to make this out alive. Just leave this colony and all other realms of Humanoids, and perhaps, we shall free you from your agony!" Erdathcath turns to her fellow soldiers, "A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Heroes of Heroica! and fight to the death!" pausing, she continues on, "It would be best to focus our main damage on the Dark tentacles, once they are gone, one or two bombs will take out the rest of the tentacles, and wipe out Iris"

[Pyrovisionary]

Sarge does as suggested from the back row!

[joeshmoe554]

OOC: Given that battle order, and if I understand the rules correctly, Iris will have 32SP when you attack her. Also, like I said earlier, you should put all attacks against the dark tentacles at the beginning to reduce the damage dealt by their special damage, and if we kill too many tentacles before taking down Iris we will be getting hexed on a regular basis when fighting her.

>Punii tries to make a Dark Destructive bomb: Failure!

The final struggle against Iris' true horrific form beings. Her convulsing tentacles lash out against the heroes, engaging in combat with the heroes. They dodge and weave, attacking in a barrage of jabs. Her two darker tentacles hang back and bombard the party with dark magic blasts, forcing the heroes to keep moving. Most of her white tentacles take severe damage, but such a gallant assault comes at a price: Several heroes are hurt badly, whipped, blasted, and stabbed by Iris' inky appendage. Erdathcath tries to aim at Iris's main body, but only recieves a jolt of ether for her trouble. She convulses slightly, before recovering from her shock at the demoness' hands.

"Have you learned the error of your ways, humans, or do you require further punishment?"

"This is fun! Hahahahah - Put on a good show, heroes. I'll look even better in my master's eyes when I dispose of you, personally."

[Pyrovisionary]

OOC: Jeaux is back at full health thanks to blessed, and how long is Solon stunned for? Also, doesn't Sarge poison enemies with his attacks.

Ooc: Yes he does, he's a witch... Unless I've missed something?

[joeshmoe554]

Jeaux casts a light spell on Black Tentacle A from the back row. While casting the spell, he holds the amethyst in his left hand, trying to summon back Nilrem in a more effective form.

New Summon Order: Nilrem (Demon Mode), (Paladin Mode), (Thunder Mode)

[Bricksandparts]

"We are all pretty damaged, hopefully we'll be able to get a group heal..."

[The_Customizer]

"Ok, if we do this right we can still win it, but Punii really needs to get lucky on his bombs, and we need to get a couple of small miracles to survive. Also, we can NOT afford to take special damage from Iris, we would be better off dead at that point, meaning, only people who are lucky should attack her"

>Erdathcath VS Iris (back): Special Damage Critical Hit (13x2=26+20=46x4=186-2=184 damage) (No hex!)

>Punii creates Destructive Grade Dark Bomb: Success! Given to Fydelle

The battle continues, this skirmish being more than eventful. Erdathcath summons the Roots of Life in their dire moment, the healing tendrils crawling down from the cavern cielig to spray the party with their healing spores. However, distracted by his wounds being mended, Em gets caught in Iris' inky clutches. Jeaux, Sarge, and Solon go off on a frenzy on their enemies, but Sarge makes a mistake. The tentacle evades his reckless swing of the scissors, allowing it to unleash a magic burst that engulfs most of the party. Sarge, Johon, and Erdathcath pick up the pace, and managed to do moderate damage - Johon even severing one of Iris's several limbs. To cap it all off, Punii makes a Destructive Dark bomb.

"My internship at the Guild of Invision sur ehas let me improve *wheeze*, right Johon? I can even make some *cough* domestic things with my skills... I made my adoptive mother, Ayla, who is paying for my internship, some jasmine perfume."

"Jasmine perfume, you say...?"

Iris bursts out cackling, even though she had gray, inky blood pouring out of the stump where her tentacle previously was.

"You snivelling little... You managed to amputate an arm?! Two, even!"
