Heroica RPG - Quest #89: Reclaiming Glory

[Masked Builder]

Alexis swings her fan at the remaining Sailor from the front row.

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen uses scroll of fragile on Sailor

Gocklo Stealthy attacks Ognar.

[CMP]

I'll start rolling soon, and I'll probably be autorolling to the end as well.

[swils]

If we assume that I can change rows&weapons mid-flight, then honestly, put me at the top of the battle order and let everyone else focus on that last poor goon.

Thormanil drops onto Ognar, piercing the man's mighty beard with his Dragonsbane Lance from the front row

If, however, we say the attack uses last round's weapon/row, then just carry on with whatever's been announced. It shouldn't make too big of a difference, really.

Realized I posted this over an hour after Pie said he'd start rolling. Whoops. Sorry for all the grey text.

Guts should've only stolen 95 gold total that round, since nobody but Ognar and the Whelp carried gold. Dyric should've only stolen 87.

Round Nine of Massive Magpie Mix-up

>Hoke v. Ognar (Darkness) - Spell (41 x 4 - 20 = 144 damage, -1 ether Ognar KO'd)

Alexandre v. Sailor K (Blademaster) - Special Dodge: Man Overboard (Dodged, no effect, Thormanil in the air)

Thormanil v. Ognar Sailor K (Trident) - High Assault 2/2 (85 x 2 = 170 damage, Sailor K bleeding)

Guts v. Ognar Sailor K (LS) - Shield: Ravage (96 x 2 x 2 = 384 damage)

Guts v. Ognar Sailor K (LS) - Damage (30 - 7 = 23 damage)

Alexis v. Sailor K (Fan) - Satisfy (Sailor K now level 23)

>Tesni v. Ognar Sailor K (Faelan) - Furious Hit (59 x 2 = 118 damage, Sailor K KO'd)

Dyric v. Ognar (Reqiuem) -

Nerwen uses Scroll of Frailty on Sailor K -

>Capt v. Ognar (Rapier/Flayer) -

>Gocklo v. Ognar (Witchbane) -

>Olmstyr v. Ognar (Serstyr) -

Haldor v. Sailor K (Dualis) -

Hoke blasts Ognar with another darkness spell - the viking's glorious beard flies several feet into the air, and the warlord dies instantly of grief. The sailor tries to lunge for Alexandre, but he dodges just in time for Thormanil to land on the poor fellow. Alexis fools around with him as Guts and Tesni finish him off, leaving the deck a bloody mess of viking corpses.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!

Illdria's quick to haul Zasies and Knife-Tongue to their feet. The latter looks dazed and ill. Zasies looks more like she's disappointed the battle has ended.

"Well. I should demand a portion of this-"

"Miff Iw-"

"-but, I suppose several members of my crew agreed with your decision in any case. Take whatever valuables you want, but dump the bodies when you're finished, I don't want it reeking like blood, sweat and beards all the way to Baltarok."

She sheaths her sword and stows her whip, everyone taking a moment to catch their breath after the long, laborious battle. One of the vessels had already capsized and vanished from view. The other was already taking on water. The captain returned to the helm, taking the wheel and preparing to leave.

"Now that we've all entertained our morality, perhaps we could start making some progr-"

"Captain, ship incoming."

This time it was no viking vessel than ran alongside the Magpie. Illdria heaved a sigh upon recognizing the ship the party had just risked the voyage in order to save.

"Yeah. Figures."

"Definitely Bonapartes."

The woman on the deck of the other ship - Attina Bonaparte, judging by the looks of her - greeted the ship with a brisk wave. Her crew looked busy patching up wounded or perform emergency repairs, and she seemed to be in no mood for formalities.

"Didn't expect many friendly faces in these waters. You have my thanks for drawing off those Viking scum, though we could've managed had you not intervened."

"I'm sure. What, you don't have enough problems in Eubric to deal with?"

"The Bonapartes have established their presence there well enough, captain - assuming you are the captain, of course. I'd've thought anyone with a ship would know that much...our mission is to the defend the poorer towns along the coasts from these attacks, and you've helped us to ensure the raiders won't return, at least for a while. Ognar the Hairy was a threat, but there are many other clans in the area that would love to take his place pillaging the coast. I'll make sure word of this gets back to Eubric. No doubt you'll have improved relat-"

"No."

"Excuse me?"

"Hell, no. I'm not going to let my ship or anyone currently on it play suck-up to you people. I got to where I am by working at it, not by getting cushy with the Houses, and especially not by being shown one instance of generosity by Bonapartes. You want to thank me, lower the taxes. Favoritism is half the reason you're the bureaucratic clowns you are today. The other half is paranoia."

Attina's eyes narrow suspiciously.

"Shame to see animosity towards authority exists even out here."

"Maybe the authority should fix its own problems before trying to fix someone else's."

"I have a job to do out here, captain. I'm not going to waste my time trying to change a mind so set on what it wants to believe."

"Good, because I don't want to waste my time arguing politics with a Bonaparte. I'd rather fight a hundred more vikings, and I've got someplace to be."

Illdria returns to the wheel without another word, the Magpie turning westwards once again, cutting through the frigid waters with ease. The Sunflower remains where it is. Olmstyr scratches his head, breaking the silence.

"Doubt the Bonapartes are going to be terribly grateful now....so, ah...I guess that ends my brief career in foreign diplomacy, then."

[Flare]

Benji groans at both the pain in his head, and Illdria's terrible manners. He turns to Zasies.

"Hey Zasies you feeling alright from that battle?"

[CMP]

"Hey Zasies you feeling alright from that battle?"

"Bah, of course. Can't wound Selkreeth. Only kill. That takes real effort."

[Scubacarrot]

"... Oh... Kay... It'd be great if someone could bloody appreciate every once in a while. There's holes in my armour now as well." Guts thought to himself that despite that, it'd be best not to get inbetween headstrong women.

The raider mumbled, while going through the loot on the deck. "Haldor or Alexandre, one of you should take the sword, your weapons seem to be the least effective. There are 11 of us, not counting our employers..." The raider mumbled silently: "Some of those did more than others..." The raider continued: "There's around 500 gold here, I say whoever takes the beard thing opts out of a share of gold. The vials should be dished out between the rest of us... so... As soon as someone volunteers for that mess of hair, we should be good."

The raider walked over to the orc, and said: "You're not too bad. About what you said earlier... If I were to be alone, I'd be much more careful, but there's so many of us... I was counting on it that some of them had to be carrying Phoenix Essences." Guts let out a gruff chuckle. "The pain is something I can deal with."

"... Oh... Kay... It'd be great if someone could bloody appreciate every once in a while."

"Don't give me that. You Heroicans fight over one another for the affections of the Houses. You operate outside their power and authority. Us normal folk have to abide by their word or lose our lifestyles. Bonapartes have been screwing me over since the minute I set foot on a ship, just like every other sailor in Eubric, so you'll forgive me if I don't feel like selling out to those fools just because one person offers me a better relationship with them."

The raider walked over to the orc, and said: "You're not too bad. About what you said earlier... If I were to be alone, I'd be much more careful, but there's so many of us... I was counting on it that some of them had to be carrying Phoenix Essences." Guts let out a gruff chuckle. "The pain is something I can deal with."

"True. If it weren't for my armor, the bald one would've skewered me like roasted aepyornis. We'll be on our own soon enough, though facing down worse, I fear. I think I know somebody who can replenish our supplies once we get to the homeland. Don't know where he gets this stuff, but it works and I don't think he's got it out for humans; that's something you'll come to value in Baltarok, like it or not."

[Scubacarrot]

"That was Attina Bonaparte. I'm not about to disrespect you on your own ship, Captain, but what you did could be described as biting the hands that feed you out of pride. Only we just saved that hand from a bunch of bloodthirsty barbarians, wether that hand is going to admit that directly, or can't, because her pride is on the line." The raider shrugged.

"True. If it weren't for my armor, the bald one would've skewered me like roasted aepyornis. We'll be on our own soon enough, though facing down worse, I fear. I think I know somebody who can replenish our supplies once we get to the homeland. Don't know where he gets this stuff, but it works and I don't think he's got it out for humans; that's something you'll come to value in Baltarok, like it or not."

"Hm. Do you think he could hook me up with armour like yours? This one's seen better days."

[Flare]

"Bah, of course. Can't wound Selkreeth. Only kill. That takes real effort."

"Heh. Well good for you. Eh. That battle was pretty rough on me... I don't know what happened..." Benji shakes his head and rubs his elbow gently.

[Scorpiox]

Haldor sighed and began cleaning his sceptres, feeling the onset of nausia once again.

"I'm alright for a new blade, that thing might be able to hit harder, but here I've got two sceptres - these things together can whack harder than something twice their weight. Let somebody else have it."

He then leans back on a sack of potatoes and shakes his head.

"Beg your pardon, captain... but did we just forgo reputation for... nothing? What's the point in that? You have your principles, I accept that, but there can be no downsides to the folks in charge having a liking for your crew. It don't put you in their charge, and if anything it's a free get-out-of-jail-free card for everyone on this ship."

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen stayed silent during Illidra's banter with Attina. Her reputation with the Bonepartes was already secure, even if she could not speak openly of the circumstances that lead to it.

I would expect that, not having the Boneparte's gratitude, we have yours, Captain.

She wandered over to Guts, drawing a finger across the bare skin exposed by the hole in the back of Guts armour.

You have my appreciation, Raider.

[Scubacarrot]

The raider stopped the elf's hand, tight, but soft, and said: "Careful, Shman. It's... sensitive..."

[Masked Builder]

Alexis eats her three level up shrooms then takes off her helmet and puts on the medal. "Well that was. . . interesting. Could have gone better I suppose." She makes her way over to Guts. "Thanks for the help."

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke lowered and shook his head after the exchange between the two captains. In spite of it all, he let out a short bewildered chuckle. He looked over the loot and mentally divided it out, but gave the party a chance to have their say.

"Does anyone lay a claim to the sword and beard?"

[Scorpiox]

Haldor admired the beard whilst stroking his.

"It's a fine bit of hair, that, I've got to say. I definitely wouldn't mind taking care of that thing, make a nice scarf for the upcoming winter nights."

[Scubacarrot]

"Right then." Guts quickly divides the loot, with upmost efficiency. He was the leader of the second party after all, which is something else entirely than secondary party leader.

"Thanks." Benji grunts looking at Guts with an expression of curiousity.

"Right then." Guts quickly divides the loot, with upmost efficiency. He was the leader of the second party after all, which is something else entirely than secondary party leader.

"Not so fast. We will let the others a chance to speak before we divide the loot."

[Scubacarrot]

"Thanks for the help."

"You're welcome, Fenral. Hm. Unless there's significant amounts to gain, you might want to consider if you want to take the chance of getting knocked out instantly, or being left to fight if you get it. Friendly advice, from your current group leader."

"Not so fast. We will let the others a chance to speak before we divide the loot."

"It's done, Ablesword. Deal with it."

"Thanks." Benji grunts looking at Guts with an expression of curiousity.

The raider nods at Benji. "Glad you... approve. I like the lizard-trick, by the way."

"It's done, Ablesword. Deal with it."

"Your title thus far in this expedition is 2nd leader. Deal with it. The loot will not be distributed until the party gets a chance to speak."

[Scubacarrot]

"As appointed by who?" The raider rises to his full height, which, granted his footwear, was not amazingly high, still, there was something to the gesture. "You led the charge, barely, because I let you, make no mistake about your role in this."

"As appointed by those that matter. The loot will be distributed when I say so, and not a moment earlier."

[Scubacarrot]

"It's already done, if you hadn't noticed." The raider remarks dryly.
