Sandy Posted November 25, 2013 Author Posted November 25, 2013 "Oh, we're there. Yes, I'd love a drink please Hathor!" Nyx eyes the snoring Nizam, planning to gently awaken him once she has a drink. "Here's the drink list, for your convenience." HATHOR'S DRINKS: Mead (Causes the encouraged-effect, doubling the target's attack power for the duration of one battle.) Costs 20 gold. Smelling Salts (Causes the hastened-effect, allowing the target to act twice in one round for the duration of one battle.) Costs 30 gold. Nostrum (Causes the lucky-effect, allowing the target to roll the battle die twice and get the better result of the two for the duration of one battle.) Costs 40 gold. Soma (Causes the blessed-effect, allowing the target to recover 3 health at the end of each round for the duration of one battle.) Costs 50 gold. Mulled Wine (Causes the inspired-effect, doubling the target's current and maximum health for the duration of one battle.) Costs 60 gold. Ambrosia (Causes the reinforced-effect, double the target's defense for the duration of one battle.) Costs 70 gold. Banana Headsplit (Allows instant recovery from any level of drunkedness.) Costs 80 gold. Namyrra walks over to Nizam and gently nudges him to wake him up. Nizam shows no reaction to Namyrra's nudge. "Zzzsnorezzz..." Atramor walked past Namyrra, his annoyance with blundering around in the desert blindly for hours getting the better of him and causing him to slap Nizam in the back of the head. "Get the hell up." Nizam raises his head after the smack, and stares at Atramor with crossed eyes. "Gruntwhazzamawantgroan?!"
Pandora Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 "We have to pay? I was expecting the drinks to be free... for .. no clear reason whatsoever. " Nyx looks down the list of drinks, tapping her lips with her forefinger and frowning at the prices. On reaching the Banana Headsplit at the bottom she audibly groans and slumps into a slouch. She looks at the board, looks at the slapped-yet-unresponsive Nizam and looks at the board again with a slightly pained expression. "Can't I just belt him with my Healing Staff?" she mumbles to herself "80 gold just to sober someone up?"
Sandy Posted November 25, 2013 Author Posted November 25, 2013 "80 gold just to sober someone up?" "Well, Nizam is the sole reason I made up the drink in the first place. He used to be in a perpetual state of drunkedness, but once I tried mixing banana juice, squid ink and albatross guano - and lo and behold, he was as sober as on the day he was born! Banana Headsplit has been on the menu ever since." "Bah! A little drunkedness never hurt anyone. I'll take an ambrosia, if you please." Catnip pays 70 gold for the drink and gulps it down in an instant. "Umm, my throat is kind of sore as well..." "You're still an ickle baby in my eyes, Byblos. No booze for you!"

"I couldn't agree more, Catnip, but I seem to be a little light in the gold department. I am a huge fan of drunkenness myself, but..." Nyx looks endearingly at Catnip and meaningfully looks at her near-empty coin purse.
CMP Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 What's the point of inflating the price of consumables if we can go back to Eubric whenever? Atramor rolled his eyes at the wasted guide.

Is there an amusing story behind how you came to even combine those things in the first place? I think I'd prefer the drunkenness myself, really." "It's not much of a story, all things considered. It was late one night and I was a bit tipsy myself, as well, and Nizam was begging me for one more drink while I was trying to focus on making myself a meal out of a squid without accidentally cutting my fingers off. Then, out of a sudden, in flew an albatross that shat on the cup where I had squeezed the oil from the squid. Nizam kept yammering on as my own buzz faded, so I got irritated and just took a banana, stuck it into the cup and handed it over to him. Voilá, an instant remedy for drunkedness was discovered! Boy, was Nizam's wife surprised to have her husband come home sober that night!" "I couldn't agree more, Catnip, but I seem to be a little light in the gold department. I am a huge fan of drunkenness myself, but..." Nyx looks endearingly at Catnip and meaningfully looks at her near-empty coin purse. Catnip's eyes flared with amusement. "You're my kind of girl, Nyx. What would you like?" What's the point of inflating the price of consumables if we can go back to Eubric whenever? "Aye. The sooner we get through the desert the sooner ya' can get on with whatever it is you're doin'. Considerin' you're at least twice as rich as the rest of us, I hope ya' wouldn't grudge this idiot his cure." QM Note: Free market. Atramor only got a chilling glare from Catnip. "I don't do charity, and I'm not in that much of a hurry."
Quarryman Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 "Right, I don't have the necessary gold either, Docken, could you perhaps pay for our guide's hangover remedy?"
Pandora Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 "You're my kind of girl, Nyx. What would you like?" "And if you're willing to buy me drinks, you're my kind of girl too! I wouldn't say no to a Nostrum please, and this is very kind of you. We should toast to your health!" Nyx just grins and grins at Catnip and this turn of events.
Brickdoctor Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 "Very well." I buy a Banana Headsplit and give it to Nizam to drink.
Sandy Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Catnip buys Nyx a Nostrum, and raises her empty mug to toast with her. "May the odds be ever in our favor!" Meanwhile, Docken bought Hathor's special and handed it over to the swaying Nizam. "Huh?! Wazzizz?!" "This gentleman offered you a drink, Nizam", Hathor shouted, tapping the side of her nose slyly. "Woohoo!!! *glugluglug*" Nizam gulps down the drink in one go, and then goes all green out of a sudden. His eyes roll over and he slumps onto the table. The heroes approach him warily, but then he suddenly springs up. "Damnit! I fall for that every time!" "Yes, you do, Nizam." The suddenly sober guide stares at the rag-tag party with his clear blue eyes. "I don't remember this bar ever being this busy before, so you must be looking for me.

Quarryman Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Namyrra collects all the water canteens the party is carrying and hand them over to Hathor. "Could you have these filled up please? I kinda want us to get going as soon as our great guide over there is ready." "I don't remember this bar ever being this busy before, so you must be looking for me. Envoys of the Oracle of Eubric, I presume?" "Yes, we are. Can you lead us through the desert? Preferably right away, we've already wasted enough time trying to walk around in this crappy desert."
CMP Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Atramor shook his head as Nizam sobered up almost instantly. Wasted bastard deserved whatever hangover he got, in his opinion. "Aye. No time to mess 'round here."
Sandy Posted November 28, 2013 Author Posted November 28, 2013 Namyrra collects all the water canteens the party is carrying and hand them over to Hathor. "Could you have these filled up please? I kinda want us to get going as soon as our great guide over there is ready." "Just water?! Oh well, I'll fill'em up for you." "Yes, we are. Can you lead us through the desert? Preferably right away, we've already wasted enough time trying to walk around in this crappy desert." "Guiding people is what I do. I assume you want to visit the ruins of Azzurat for one reason or another, then? It's not as simple as that, I'm afraid. In the desert, demons and other monsters can attack you right below your feet at any instant, and there's frequent sandstorms I cannot do anything about." "I apologize, but we already know about all of that. We just came from the desert, after having tried to cross it with a saracen bandit prince claiming to be you. Are you really saying it doesn't matter if we have you as our guide or not?" "Hey, don't insult me! I know the desert in-and-out after braving it countless times during these last few decades.

Pandora Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 "Byeeee! Thanks again Hathor!" Nyx waves as they leave the pub. At the edge of the desert she squints into the vast landscape of sand, before announcing to no-one in particular "I'm ready to go whichever way Namyrra wants to go, which will probably be East. Can we go see some of the thingies? The obelisks? We might have to go via a couple of the oases too." she looks around once more before absent-mindedly stuffing her Doomshroom Cap (permanent Ether +1) into her mouth and munching.
Quarryman Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 "Yes, let's start by going east. If we don't trigger a sandstorm or get attacked by demons there we will just go east again. After that, if we still haven't triggered a sandstorm or been attacked by demons we'll go north. Obviously, if we do trigger a sandstorm at one of the steps we'll have to stop and listen to what Nizam has to say."
Sandy Posted November 29, 2013 Author Posted November 29, 2013 The party heads to the desert, but they don't get far before they are ambushed by several red scorpions controlled by two lesser demons. "Watch out! Those Scorpiodemons have a nasty sting!" "Thank you, Captain Obvious, but demons are my cup of tea. It's nothing we cannot handle." PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

CMP Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 Atramor couldn't help but grin as the angry arachnids arose from the sands of the desert, drawing the Pheles Rod and spinning it briefly before driving the end downwards at Crimson Scorpion A from the front row. "Fine with me, vermin are my cup of tea."
Brickdoctor Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 "Let me take a Free Hit from one of the Scorpiodemons first. I won't take any Damage aside from the Poisoned-effect. Then once I'm Poisoned, I can attack Scorpiodemons, and if I roll Special Damage, nothing will happen since I'm immune to Sudden Death."
Quarryman Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 "As you wish master Docken. I was also thinking we could have Byblos seal them so their special attacks won't harm us. So, I think you should hit scorpion C then, and Nyx scorpion D. That leaves scorpions E and F untargeted since they ignore the attacks of my undead, but we can take those free hits without getting hurt much." "Byblos, seal Scorpiodemon B from the back row please." "And Catnip, it would be nice if you could shoot Scorpiodemon B from the back row." "I'll send a wind spell through my Crystal Mace at Crimson Scorpion B from the back row." Saladdin attacks Crimson Scorpion E Pyromancer attacks Crimson Scorpion F Updated battle order below. Battle order: Atramor Namyrra Docken Byblos Catnip Nyx Undead horde
Pandora Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 "A sound plan Docken. And Namyrra, I actually think I might be more useful if I do this first... excuse me, and no peeking." Nyx makes a vague attempt to cover herself with her Mirage Cloak as she shimmies out of her Robe of the Archmagi and slips into her Chef's Apron. "There, I'm less likely to die a slow and agonising death, even though I can still feel the warm buzz from that Nostrum. I'll get to hitting things on the next round, don't worry." OoC: I ate my Doomshroom bringing my Ether up by one (I know it'll go back down again by 5 with the item swap) and I should also be lucky from the Nostrum.
Quarryman Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 "Okay Nyx, we can do it that way, but then we'll have to make some adjustments to the battle order since we'll have four untargeted enemies instead of three." Battle order: Atramor Namyrra Nyx Docken Byblos Catnip Undead horde
Brickdoctor Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 I attack Crimson Scorpion C from the Back Row with my Darksteel Crossbow.
Sandy Posted November 30, 2013 Author Posted November 30, 2013 OoC: I ate my Doomshroom bringing my Ether up by one (I know it'll go back down again by 5 with the item swap) and I should also be lucky from the Nostrum. QM Note: I forgot to edit the ether gain (which is fixed now), but the nostrum went to your inventory, since you never said you were going to drink it right away. Sorry!
Sandy Posted November 30, 2013 Author Posted November 30, 2013 Round One of the Scorpion Battle: Atramor (Pheles Rod) vs. Crimson Scorpion A - Critical Hit (Atramor: Aura; Scorpion A: 442 health-(70x4=280 dmg)=162 health) >Namyrra (Wind) vs. Crimson Scorpion B - Special Damage/Spell (Scorpion B: 442 health-(79x2=158 dmg)=284 health; Namyrra: -1 ether) >Nyx switches Robe of the Archmagi to Chef's Apron >Docken vs. Crimson Scorpion C - Aim (Scorpion C: 442 health-10 dmg=432 health+blinded) >Byblos uses Scroll of Sealing on Scorpiodemon B - Success (Scorpiodemon B: sealed; Byblos: -1 ether) >Catnip vs. Scorpiodemon B - Special Damage (nothing happens) Saladdin hits Crimson Scorpion E - (Scorpion E: 442 health-50 dmg=392 health; Namyrra: -1 ether) Pyromancer hits Crimson Scorpion F - (Scorpion F: 442 health-40 dmg=402 health; Namyrra: -1 ether) Crimson Scorpion D + E + F + Scorpiodemon A - Free Hit vs. Atramor (Atramor: 120 health+21 SP-(27+27+27+49=130 dmg)=11 health+poisoned) Atramor - Poisoned (-1 dmg) Atramor's demonic rod creates an aura around him, drawing the attention of the enemies. Namyrra's spell and Docken's arrow hit their targets, and Byblos manages to seal the other Scorpiodemon while Nyx takes a break to change her clothes. Catnip misses her shot, though. Atramor is almost knocked out by the Free Hits, but survives just barely. All enemies still remain.
