Heroica RPG - Quest#93: School's Out

[Myrddyn]

Erik raises an eyebrow at the Hinckwells threat, and open his mouth, but then turns to the Ziegfried.

"Miss Ziegfried, how long ago was your last message from son, and what part of the academy was he in?"

"Also, Provost Lector, would you happen to have a map of the academy?"

Erik raises an eyebrow at the Hinckwells threat, and open his mouth, but then turns to the Ziegfried.

"Miss Ziegfried, how long ago was your last message from son, and what part of the academy was he in?"

"I got a letter from Noel just before you arrived, so he should still be alright. He said he was hiding alone in a storage somewhere, but I don't know the specifics.

"Also, Provost Lector, would you happen to have a map of the academy?"

"I apologize, I don't have any with me. All the maps were in the faculty offices inside the Academy. I can tell you though that the Academy has two floors with classrooms on both of them. The entrance hall contains a staircase leading up, and there's stairs at the end of both the western wing and the eastern wing. You can get to the planetarium and the observatorium tower from the first floor of the west wing. On the first floor of the east wing lies the entrance to the library, and on the second floor you can gain access to the offices. From the entrance hall you can go straight to the atrium in the middle of the building, which also has doors to the planetarium, the library and the great auditorium. I hope this description helps."

The heroes then cram into the box, ready to depart for the unknown. Even though the box is big, it's an ill-fit for six fully equipped warriors, and the fact that one of them is an undead and another is a barbarian does not help the smell inside.

"I've never tried sending this kind of a parcel, so you all better keep your fingers crossed."

"Do well, brave heroes! Bring my auspicious institute back in one piece!"

The provost's words are the last thing the heroes hear as the lid of the box is shut and bolted. Then they feel the magical spell taking hold of the box and whisking it into the unknown.

The trip is beyond bumpy, and all the heroes crash into each other, getting cut and bruised badly. Just as they think they cannot take anymore, the box comes to a sudden stop. Someone opens the latches and peaks inside.

"What the hell...?"

[Endgame]

The jump between whatever magical dimension this was was, needless to say, unpleasant. I could only grimace as my bony frame was tossed and turned from side to side, only the bodies of my fellow heroes acting as a cushion. By the end i was sore all over, my brittle bones frayed and my body bleeding from the dozens off the box's bludgeons. I cough some blood into the fold of my cloak, and, trembling from the journey, I lift the lid. I look directly at the child.

"Hello."

However, I failed to realize I was basically a blood-stained trembling undead abomination... I probably looked more monstrous than most of the beats here. I step out, and raise my palms.

"We're heroes, kid, we're heroes! Don't worry."

[Kintobor]

Karie pushes the latch up, feeling blood trickling down her head. Whether it was hers or not, she didn't know. She felt worse than she looked, and makeup smeared and smudged on some spots on her face, and she felt as if the wind had been knocked out of her.

"Ow ow ow ow ow!"

She immediately fumbles out of the box, tripping on the boxes ledge, and begins healing herself while laying on the floor. She notices the kid.

"Hey. What's going on. We're uh... here to save you and stuff. My name's Karie OW!derflask. Just give me a second to heal myself."

She tried her hardest to not show tears, but a few couldn't help come out. As she rolled up her sleeves and looked over her arm, which apparently gained two new bruises and a deep gash that had stained her sleeve, she looked up at the teenager from the floor.

"So, you're ow Noel, right?"

I lean on one of the many shelves of miscellaneous knick knacks, trying to steady myself.

"Signing up for this one was a mistake... I'm too old for this. Anyone capable of healing me?"

"We're heroes, kid, we're heroes! Don't worry."

Karie looked worryingly at her grandfather.

"Hey gramps, you look like hell. Need a heal. You know what, does anyone here want to get healed by me, or are you just going to pile onto our Shaman because I use black magic or something along those lines. Idiots."

She lets go of her arm for a minute to heal Sorrow.

"I got Grand Potions as well, if anyone wants a quick patch job."

[Sandy]

"So, you're ow Noel, right?"

"Yeah, I'm Noel. Who the hell are you? Wait... Karie? Didn't I send letters to you last Grogmas? You guys must be from Heroica, then! Go mom for managing to send you through in one piece!"

"We're heroes, kid, we're heroes! Don't worry."

"Err, I'll take your word for it... for now."

[Kintobor]

"Yeah, I'm Noel. Who the hell are you? Wait... Karie? Didn't I send letters to you last Grogmas? You guys must be from Heroica, then! Go mom for managing to send you through in one piece!"

"Yeah, go mom, yay." She says, breathing heavily while looking Sorrow over.

"Yeah, we're Heroica. I got to hand it to you kid, you did a good job with those letters. You helped me get in contact with some people I needed to get in touch with, so thanks for that."

[Myrddyn]

Erik clambers out of the box and staggers towards the window, leaning against it and peering out.

He shakes his head and turns to Noel.

"Yup. Thanks for doing that Grogmas messaging thing, by the way.

"So, you heard people screaming? Were the screams coming from any particular place? And why haven't any of these monsters come in here?"

He heals himself, Heckz, Thalion and Amorith, before searching the crate containing the fish.

"Think this is all just stuffed animals, but there might be something good." he mumbles.

[-obelix-]

"Yeah, I'm Noel. Who the hell are you? Wait... Karie? Didn't I send letters to you last Grogmas? You guys must be from Heroica, then! Go mom for managing to send you through in one piece!"

"Yes we are. And if you are Noel, then you know me as well - my name is Thalion, and one of the letters I sent was to Morgan and Merlin."

He turns towards Erik and bows, "My thanks for the healing."

[Endgame]

"Thanks." I sigh.

"I'm way too old for this one... But no choice now, huh?

You did very well, Noel - I understand that you were a little miffed about having to do it, but I hope you at least became stronger from it."

[Myrddyn]

He turns towards Erik and bows, "My thanks for the healing."

"No worries, sir. Healin' an' whackin' monsters is what I'm here for. On that note, perhaps Amorith or Heckz would like to borrow your extra scrolls? Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather save my ether for healing."

"And Master Noel, are you gonna wanna come along with us when we go monster hunting, or will you stay here? Or d'you think you can fly back in that box?"

[Cutcobra]

Heckz gets out of the box, quickly rearranging his hair before anyone could see it. "Thanks Erik for healing me up, even though you should have healed me because let's face it, who would want to see my face all bruised and damaged?" He turns to Noel "I have one question for you, why in the name of my hair are there animals in this storage room?"

[legobodgers]

Amorith, after thanking Thallion, takes his Emerald, Saphire and Topaz.

"May I borrow one of your scrolls of frailty as well? If no one else wishes to use it of course."

Inclining his head towards Erik he quickly thanks him for the heal.

"Noel is it? Pleasure to meet you. First thing first though, where precisely in the Academy are we and why are you in here?"

[-obelix-]

"No worries, sir. Healin' an' whackin' monsters is what I'm here for. On that note, perhaps Amorith or Heckz would like to borrow your extra scrolls? Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather save my ether for healing."

"Just Thalion, please." Thalion smiled and nodded.

Amorith, after thanking Thallion, takes his Emerald, Saphire and Topaz.

"May I borrow one of your scrolls of frailty as well? If no one else wishes to use it of course."

"Of course you may." Thalion handed Amorith Scrolls of Sleep and Frailty.

[Sandy]

The heroes get out of the box and heal each other of the wounds they got during the transition.

"Yeah, we're Heroica. I got to hand it to you kid, you did a good job with those letters. You helped me get in contact with some people I needed to get in touch with, so thanks for that."

"Thanks, I guess. It did cost me my winter break, though, which was a bummer."

"So, you heard people screaming? Were the screams coming from any particular place? And why haven't any of these monsters come in here?"

"When things went to hell I was in Professor Hawke's biology class in the next room. We had just gotten started when the world outside turned bright white, and then a monster barged into the classroom. I dashed here the first chance I got and locked the door behind me. I heard people scream and bang the door from the outside, but I was..." The boy's face turned defiant all of a sudden. "I couldn't care less about them, so why would I risk my own security by letting them in?"

He heals himself, Heckz, Thalion and Amorith, before searching the crate containing the fish.

"Think this is all just stuffed animals, but there might be something good." he mumbles.

Erik's suspicions turn out to be correct, as the animals in the room are all mounted. The crate Erik searches contains some serpents and a large fish, nothing else.

"Yes we are. And if you are Noel, then you know me as well - my name is Thalion, and one of the letters I sent was to Morgan and Merlin."

"Meh, I only pay attention to the ladies. Sorry."

"You did very well, Noel - I understand that you were a little miffed about having to do it, but I hope you at least became stronger from it."

"Yeah, my master plan is to become the most powerful mage in the whole world by sending people love letters. Get real, gramps!"

"And Master Noel, are you gonna wanna come along with us when we go monster hunting, or will you stay here? Or d'you think you can fly back in that box?"

"Whoa whoa, are you just going to barge out of here? Shouldn't we like make a plan or something? I can't send myself back in that box, but I guess I can try sending other people. You're here to save everyone, aren't you? Maybe... I can help you. Well, if I'd care enough. Which I don't."

"But I guess you'd need a guide of sorts to show you the way. Oh, and you don't know anything about how things roll in the Academy, among the students and such. There's a certain pecking order, and most students belong to a faction. Like myself, I'm one of the Gothics. We dress in black and like skulls and other creepy stuff. Each faction loaths some of the other factions and gets along with others. We Gothics absolutely despise the Chirls and the Fonzies, for example, and the feeling is mutual. You gotta know these things in order to get the students to cooperate. With a situation like this, everyone's got their primal instincts on. Things can turn really nasty if we don't get the people out of here asap."

He turns to Noel "I have one question for you, why in the name of my hair are there animals in this storage room?"

"This is the taxidermy storage. Professor Hawke uses these stuffed critters in his biology and monstrology lessons. I'm totally creeped out by them, which is kinda cool."

"Noel is it? Pleasure to meet you. First thing first though, where precisely in the Academy are we and why are you in here?"

"We're in the second floor of the West Wing, if you want to get into the specifics. I already... WAAAH!!!"

Noel cries out as the mounted bear that he was standing next to suddenly lunges at him. The bear's eyes flare red, and suddenly all the other animals in the storage also spring into life as an ominous red light fills the room.

[Kintobor]

Karie finishes healing herself, only to be swarmed by taxidermy animals rushing about. The squirrel jumps of the shelf and straight towards her, as the raindeer attempts nipping at her. Grabbing Grumpy's Staff, she blocks herself as the rodent attempts to gnaw at her, then repels the deers attack.

"That's it, I hate this place, I hate the spooky lighting, and I hate squirrels!"

She manages to shake the squirrel off, noticing Noel desperately trying to get the bear off him. She moves in, pulling Noel out of the way while holding Grumpy's Staff out, attempting to repel the bear.

"You okay, kid? No seriously, you okay?"

"I got this Pumpkin Bomb we could toss if we're desperate, but if we stick with our guns, I think we have a chance! Elemental weapons and attacks guys! If you got a smelling salts, take it now! Take out the Canary first, we can't have him reviving everyone else! Heckz, keep Noel back, or have him attack a low level enemy! If he bites the dust, we got no way of getting back! If you guys want, I can take the Bear on. Heckz, use your Diamond on any undead animal that moves!!"

Karie focuses on the Undead Hungry Bear from the back row with Grumpy's Staff.

[Endgame]

I was about to respond to Noel's arrogant remark when the taxidermied creatures sprung to life. Dozens of red glowing eyes flooded the room, all hissing malignantly.

"Nnnrgh. First order of business, nobody target that canary! Second order of business... I have a plan. it is risky, but if these old bones can pull it off... Two people hasten themselves, and on their second turns, one hastens me, and another makes me lucky. If we have any luck, I'll be able to assassinate several of these things right out the gate."

[Kintobor]

"I can supply the Nostrum, but I disagree with you, gramps. We need to get that Canary out of the way immediately. All it takes is one wrong move down the line and all our work will have gone to waste."

[Endgame]

"It's incredibly feeble. It can't scratch any of us - we are far more likely to slaughter it with a magic burst or something. I'd be much more comfortable just letting it get killed in the collateral, rather than risk even touching it... But that is the party leader's call, I suppose.

Edited January 9, 2014 by Endgame

[Kintobor]

"Hm. I see what your getting at. Very well then, we'll leave it alone for a while, and see what happens. But if we toss a bomb out, we could get it in one hit without worrying about the blasted thing. You also got that Root Beer we could toss out, Sorrow. Just a thought."

"Actually, Sorrow, do that. Get that blasted Canary out of the way, and deal with some of the lesser undead quickly. It'll dent some of the other undead also, so it'd be wise to use it."

First order of business, nobody target that canary!

"Why shouldn't Noel target the canary? He should be safe attacking it from back row, and should he succeed in taking it out early on, it cant bring any of it allies to life!?"

We need to get that Canary out of the way immediately. All it takes is one wrong move down the line and all our work will have gone to waste."

"Exactly!"

Thalion casts a Light spell at Undead Simian (and Undead Tweetybird), from back row.

Erik attacks the Undead White Rabbit from the back row with his Titanic Axe.

"Miss Alderflask, I suggest you stay back from that bear. It doesn't look like you'll kill it in one hit either way, and there'll likely be a lot of untargeted enemies attacking."

Mister Dwinlas, I believe Mister Ziegfried could hit that scorpion with the box, safely preventing its free hit with no risk of everyone being poisoned, or of you being hit by the most powerful enemy."

I think Noels Big Box summon is a guaranteed effect, as it doesn't say 1/2 chance or anything like the scrolls normally do. Also, you might want to say whether you're dual spellcasting or not.

[Kintobor]

Sandy, what does the Big Box do? Is it a one shot item, or do we get multiple?

[Cutcobra]

"Karie are you giving me orders? Are you the party leader? Didn't think so. And as Sorrow said, no one attacks the canary! I will be taking a Smelling Salt and attacki that filthy Aepyornis from the back row with a Light spell. And Noel, you don't do anything unless your Big Box can always be used, in which case you will be using it on that Raindeer from the back row. And Amorith, it would be lovely if you used that Scroll of Sealing of yours on that Red Rattlesnake."
