Heroica RPG - Quest#88: Fathers and Sons

[Flare]

Benji shouts but as he transforms into a large reptilian monster it turns into a mighty roar as the help comes.

Benji repeats his attack on Harpy H.

OoC: Dammit Zepher, stop making me attack Harpy C! Harpy C doesn't even exist for the last couple rounds! I was attacking Harpy H! Which means it got no free hit. Ugh.

Matthias lifts his crossbow towards the swarming nightmares, but hesitates as they swoop and scream. "Which one should I shoot?!" he yells to Cinna and the flagpole knight.

"We have the South and part of the North covered. If the South is cleared we will be joined by a few more soldiers. The hags on the cliff are annoyingly raking their talons across our defenses."

[Vash the Stampede]

"We have the South and part of the North covered. If the South is cleared we will be joined by a few more soldiers. The hags on the cliff are annoyingly raking their talons across our defenses."

Dreyrugr turns to attack Harpy J from the front row.

[Chromeknight]

Stars shine on our meeting Nagure. It is good to see you again. I look forward to meeting your companions after we have dealt with these.

Nerwen strikes Harpy B confident that if her target falls before she reaches it! the next harpy was an equally good choice.

[Zepher]

OoC: Harpy C lives on in our hearts and minds. I'm sorry, I guess I got some of that cerebral wiring crossed. Fixed, Tesni up a health, and from here on in your crusade against Harpy H will be recognized!

[Darkdragon]

Cinna's eyes widen at the battle in front of her. She hopes this wasn't a mistake to lead the team to assist, glancing around she is happy to see some friends that she hasn't talked to in a long time.

"Fear not, friends, we are here to help! Boris, you must keep track of Grinshod while we assist here."

With that, she let's loose a Lightening bolt at Harpy J from the back row.

(if Enchantment is rolled, go for the Turtle Shield)

"Will do, but I don't think he's really got anywhere to go at the moment."

"Well, just to be safe. He did say he'd take any chance to try and leave us."

[Peppermint_M]

"Hey, new people." Tesni grinned "Ok Mellt, Harpy I needs to be whacked good."

[UsernameMDM]

"Lady Darkdragon, order your party after mine attacks if you will."

[Purpearljellyblob]

Purpearl hands the Opal back to Cinna.

One by one, her party charges forward. Purpearl turns to Cinna,

"I will return the Opal to you after we defeat those abominations."

Purpearl casts Scroll of Weakening at Harpy F from the back row.

"Buzz off!"

"Hold your attacks until after Hoke's party has a chance!"

Matthias dutifully keeps his finger off the trigger until everyone else has attacked, then looses a bolt at Harpy E.

OoC: Newbie question, does our half of the party get the +3SP bonus from Hoke's Flagpole?

Edited February 4, 2014 by nstickney

[Cryos]

Baradock focuses in on Harpy D, waiting for the moment to attack the winged shrew from the front row.

Just received some upsetting news which may make me unable to post at my leisure, at points during the battle If I am the only one left to post an action I give control of Baradock to Darkdragon.

Matthias v. Harpy E - Damage (No Effect)

Matthias is flustered momentarily as the harpy rakes at him, but comes away unscathed. He manages not to lose sight of his target and fires another bolt at Harpy E.

OoC: Another newbie question - I'm not certain why I took no damage: (21/2)=10.5, 10.5-7=4.5... I'm sure I'm never supposed to question the quest master, but I'm just trying to understand the mechanics.

[Zepher]

Nerwen rolled Shield last round, which granted the party safety! Paladins are a handy-dandy class to have around, and everyone should always take them on the most exciting and rewarding quests in my opinion.

[StickFig]

Oh, sweet, thanks Nerwen!!

[Vash the Stampede]

Dreyrugr attacks Harpy J from the front row.

[Flare]

Benji laughs out loud as he turns back into his human form. Now that the heroes had the advantage of superior numbers, it would be easy to take down these creatures. He carefully targets Harpy I with Meduiak.

[Chromeknight]

Seraphiel flitted from side to side, deflecting the incoming blows. The new party joining them was particularly well defended. Some of them seemed to be in the very beginning of their heroic careers.

Nerwen focussed again on the task at hand.

You have lost more health Master Carvenhall, but Miss Islanti is in more danger from a wayward blow. I shall heal her after I heal you.

Nerwen heals Jess.

"Ah, hear the clatter of claws on good steel? Mellt, smash 'em down!" Again
