Heroica RPG - Quest#93: School's Out

[Sandy]

Professor Polaris looks at Heckz incredulously.

"Ungh, do you think I would be in this situation if I had any battle skills?! They say that knowledge is mightier than a sword, but that didn't help me one bit when the demon took over this room."

[Myrddyn]

Erik attacks Aureole from the back row with Twin Axe.

"Maybe put me first in the order this time, Heckz, so I can heal Sorrow if I get a chance to use a blood ritual."

[Endgame]

I stagger backward from the sudden flash of light, my remaining skin practically sizzling. I draw a green disk from my bag...

"N-no, I'll be fine, I can heal myself..."

I use a Health Core and attack Aureole once more from the back.

Thalion unsheathes Ratsbane and attacks Aureole from back row.

[Kintobor]

The satisfying crack of her tentacle like whip hitting the demon resonated throughout the room.

"I'm going in for another strike unless anyone says otherwise."

Karie strikes Aureole from the back row.

[Endgame]

The satisfying crack of her tentacle like whip hitting the demon resonated throughout the room.

"I'm going in for another strike unless anyone says otherwise."

Karie strikes Aureole from the back row.

"Keep at it. Maybe we can reduce this damn thing to nothing if you hit it enough," I muse.

[legobodgers]

Amorith, seeing that his friend was injured, heals Erik from the back row.

[Cutcobra]

"Well excuse me for asking. I just wanted to see if we could have some more help in getting rid of demons."

Heckz uses his tonic on Erik.

Noel uses Big Box on Auerole from the back row.

Drucilla and Sorsha do nothing.

Nuitan heals Aureole.

Seeing Amorith preparing to heal Erik, Thalion sheaths his dagger and does nothing in the back row. (We do not want to risk hurting the professor with several, accidental bursts of magic, so it may be better if I pause for a moment...), he thought to himself.

[Myrddyn]

"Thanks, gentlemen."

"Hmm, Thalion, perhaps you could put that Helmet on the professor?"

​Oh, it'd make her immune to healing as well. Forgot that. Still, maybe someone could take it off later if necessary.

[Sandy]

QM Note: Just for the record, making non-combatant NPCs (who are not even in your party) equip items is stretching the rules a bit too far.

Results of Round Five of the Planetarium Battle:

>Erik vs. Aureole - Hit/Extra Critical Hit (Aureole: 1850 health-(34+34=68/2=34 dmg)=1816 health)

>Heckz uses a Tonic on Erik - (Erik: +5 ether)

>Sorrow uses a Health Core on himself - (Sorrow: full health restored)

>Sorrow vs. Aureole - Shield/Special Damage (Professor Polaris: sudden death; Sorrow: 44x1,5=66 gold)

>Karie vs. Aureole - Poisonous Hit (Aureole: 1816 health-(34x2/2=34 dmg)=1782 health, -1 level)

>Amorith heals Erik - Heal More (Erik: +40 health; Amorith: -1 ether)

>Thalion does nothing

>Drucilla does nothing

>Nuitan heals Aureole - No Healing

>Sorsha does nothing

>Noel uses the Big Box on Aureole - (Aureole: 1782 health-50 dmg=1732 health; Noel: -5 ether)

The party continues hitting the demon, until Sorrow takes it a notch too far and accidentally shoots a lethal arrow through Professor Polaris.

"What did you do?! You monster!"

"This is too much... *bleaaargh*"

Drucilla silences the students with a wave of a hand.

"We can attempt to save Pleaides later, but now we must focus on vanquishing the demon. Now that it has lost it's meat shield, we can hit it with all we've got!"

[Endgame]

I let an arrow fly, hoping to shoot the demon squarely through the eye...

...The demon instead wretches its chains and puts Pleaides in the path of my shot.

"...No, damn it! I refuse to kill another!!"

Without my hood, there was nothing to obscure the visible pain in my eyes. I was torn up about this. it was glaringly obvious, yet I tried to conceal it otherwise.

Sandy, can I resurrect Pleaides with a Phoenix Essence?

Edited April 21, 2014 by Endgame

[Kintobor]

"We can attempt to save Pleaides later, but now we must focus on vanquishing the demon. Now that it has lost it's meat shield, we can hit it with all we've got!"

"Professor Eldritch, I'd like you to take note of something."

Enemies:

Aureole, the Solar Demon

*Immune to all effects and sudden death*

*Cannot be targeted*

Type: Demon/Holy

Level: 43

Health: 1732/2216

Special II:

Scathing Sanctity

– Deals 45 light-elemental damage to all opponents and forces them to unequip all artefacts. Used if Professor Polaris is killed.

"I'm going to point out that we have no advantages in terms of our spells, we can't kill it through assassination, and if we get hit with it's special twice in a turn, we are all dead. There's no real way to go about it but pray and hope we don't die or run, so if anyone's got some grand idea, please let me know now!"

Edited April 21, 2014 by Kintobor

[Endgame]

"I'm afraid "we're all dead" may not be an exaggeration in my case, should this go wrong..."

I bite my lip and run through all of the possible options... To think the Sun, of all things, would prove the most murderous thing I've encountered.

[Myrddyn]

...if we get hit with it's special twice in a turn, we are all dead.

"We'll just have to make sure we don't attack it if we see someone else trigger that, then."

Erik attacks Aureole from the back row with Twin Axe, unless someone else has rolled special damage.

QM Note: Just for the record, making non-combatant NPCs (who are not even in your party) equip items is stretching the rules a bit too far.

Fair enough!

Actually, special 1 wasn't even an elemental attack anyway.

[Kintobor]

"Very well then, ensure everyone notes that!"

Karie attacks Aureole from the back row unless someone rolls special damage.

[Endgame]

"Just beware... if that thing hits us with its special, it'll take us a minimum of 3 turns to fully recover from it."

[Myrddyn]

"Ugh. And it would take out all the students."

[Endgame]

"...If we lose Noel, we die here.

I say we flee. Now."

[Myrddyn]

"Well, how about you give him your helmet? That would protect him from the special damage. Thalion could give one of the other kids his Duplovian helmet, and with a bit of SP, the other one could survive from the back row. I could give Sorsha my armour, but it would take me two turns, and if you want Noel protected as soon as possible, I'd be the only lucky person available to target the demon."

[Endgame]

"In the long run, I just don't think this battle is worth it. Doing so only makes us viable to drop - I may have already killed Pleaides for good! If we can bring the school back without exterminating this demon, I'd be happy."

[Myrddyn]

"Perhaps, but Drucilla has suggested Polaris may still be alive. Also, I'm not sure leaving it behind us is a good idea, especially if we're going to teleport it into the centre of Eubric."

[Myrddyn]

"Throw the bomb if you want. It's up to you."

[Endgame]

"I'll await our party leader's input."

[Cutcobra]

'Well done Sorrow, well done. "

"Drucilla, may I ask if you have gone to the Marketplace before? If you have, can you go there and buy a Phoenix Essence then come back here? I'll pay you back later, you have someone that is not me's word. And also, Noel can use a Feather of Flight if you all want him to."
