Heroica RPG- Quest #94: Go Now, In Peace

[Kintobor]

Eric threw a glare in Throlar's direction. "She doesn't look like a wraith to me, dwarf." The Nord then redirected his attention to the woman. He chuckled softly and grinned. "We take you back, do we? Glad to be of service". He continued in an ever increasingly mocking and sarcastic tone, "Please do fill us in. Some of us are just dying to know what is going on." His eyes flickered with mischievous joy.

The Raider's demeanour didn't show it, but he certainly was interested to hear what the womand had to say.

"Wraith? Oh, you mean my shadow."

The party notices a similar looking entity to the woman clinging to the walls, surveying them from a dark corner of the room, having a gooey etherial density.

"She showed up shortly after I began tampering with the art of necromancy, something that wasn't my original specialty."

The undead smiles.

"No, it's just been a while since I've interacted with Heroicans. Four years, to be exact. Don't think me for a fool nord. We worship the same goddess. Oh, how she frowns upon you."

The undead giggles in delight, relishing the nord's pun.

"Oh, aren't we witty! Die you will once I'm through with this city. Everyone will. This city is rotten to it's core with the depravation of the undead. Being undead is akin to being a greenskin, as some would put it. The rights for undead are null and void. The elitists of this city squash upon the minorities and deprave the poor. Not when my work is done. With the will of my goddess, I intend to turn this city into a necropolis. There will be no racism, as everyone will share one common trait: death. There will be no need for discrimination once everyone is dead. Family's will be together till the end of time, there will be no fear of death, love ones will be together... forever.

Unfortunately, that won't be for a while. I lack man power, I lack the resources. I lack range, but what I do have, is a spell. A spell to bring back those from death without turning them into mindless slobs. And that, will be my first subject."

She points back to the pit the two cultists were chanting upon, the bones within them glowing an ominous red. Violet looks on in horror, covering the area where her heart once was.

"And... what does my heart have to do with all this?"

"Oh, sweetie, it's alright. You're heart's going towards resurrecting that beast back there. A Dastanese Comet Killer. This tomb was originally built to house the dead paladins and their slain enemy here, something lost to the pages of history. The spell we're using to resurrect the dragon asks for "the heart of a lover who's heart has stopped beating". You're assisting us in freeing our kind!"

"And what good will that do? Y-your doing this without anyone's consent!"

"Clearly that fool Josiah has blinded you. I don't believe you Heroicans will let me finish neither, will you?"

"Mistress, we're almost finished! We're are the components!"

"You know where they are! Get them yourself!"

"But we're busy with the resurrection!"

"Yetis and undead are completely different things! No offence to Althior or Violet, but undead technically shouldn't exist! You have no right to compare us with walking heaps of flesh!"

"You're a minority, yeti, just like us undead. And in the eyes of some, you shouldn't exist. Something we share in common. There are certain groups who want you dead and would use your pelt as a rug. My kind have been hunted by paladins for years. We are quite similar, despite how much you claim us to be different."

[K-Nut]

"Yetis and undead are completely different things! No offence to Althior or Violet, but undead technically shouldn't exist! You have no right to compare us with walking heaps of flesh!"

Althior turns around to Avalanche and sticks his finger in the yeti's face. "Screw you, Yeti. You know nothing of what we are like. So stop acting like you do, and shut the hell up," He turns back to the other necromancer. "Now, I don't know what you think you're doing, but whatever it is, you're wrong. You can't honestly believe there will be peace if everything is dead. There will simply be nothing. Not all undead or like you and I. Now, I'll give you one warning. Stop this now and I can help you. But this has to stop. Now."

[Kintobor]

The necromancer sticks her nose up at Althior.

"You've had the luxury of Heroica backing you with their new fangled Norn relic! I died for that glorified mercenary group, and you know who came to rescue me? Not you idiots, but the Ice Queen!"

"Praise be unto her..."

"With this spell in my hands I can grant unlife not like the state those slobbering undead paladins were in. I can grant sensibility, I can grant intelligence!"

"Cram it, you fool! Althior, don't listen to her, she's not worth listening-"

The woman lowers her scythe to Violet's neck slowly and precisely, the zombie's reflection staring at her from the silver metal touching her neck.

"Be. Quiet. You're adorable naivety has worn out on me. I will continue with this, whether you wish to stop me or not. If this spell works, it won't affect you. All it proves is that if amplified, it can create the most powerful necropolis every seen. The amount of books and years I spent looking for it will not be put to waste!"

[Dragonfire]

"Of course I should exist! My existence is normal and natural, unlike yours. If anyone wants to use my pelt as a rug, they'll have Heroica to contend with! Avalanche, in a rage, turns to Althior, "Why would I want to know anything of what you are like! You're an abomination! Who would choose to come back as an undead?"

[K-Nut]

"Of course I should exist! My existence is normal and natural, unlike yours. If anyone wants to use my pelt as a rug, they'll have Heroica to contend with! Avalanche, in a rage, turns to Althior, "Why would I want to know anything of what you are like! You're an abomination! Who would choose to come back as an undead?"

Althior rolls his eyes and promptly turns around, strike the yeti across the face. "You're no hero, you idiot! You think we have a choice? You think we wanted this? You know absolutely nothing. We are the chosen few that are given second chances," He comes in close to the yeti. "Either get the hell out of here, or shut the hell up. If you're to be this much an imbecile this entire time, we have no use for you. Heroica has no use for you. So get your head out of the gutter and shut up! It's people like you that cause this," He gestures to the undead posse. "I hope you know that,"

Althior stands back up to the other necromancer. "Now, if you're not backing down, let's just end this as quickly as we can. I'm done with this. All of this. And hey, if we're lucky you may even be able to get a lucky shot on the yeti,"

[Kintobor]

OOC: I'm going to wait one more day to see if Lord Duvors has anything to say. If he doesn't I'm going to move this along.

[Khorne]

"Oh, aren't we witty! Die you will once I'm through with this city. Everyone will. This city is rotten to it's core with the depravation of the undead. Being undead is akin to being a greenskin, as some would put it. The rights for undead are null and void. The elitists of this city squash upon the minorities and deprave the poor. Not when my work is done. With the will of my goddess, I intend to turn this city into a necropolis. There will be no racism, as everyone will share one common trait: death. There will be no need for discrimination once everyone is dead. Family's will be together till the end of time, there will be no fear of death, love ones will be together... forever.

Eric's grin turned wider, revealing his teeth. "So your plan is to unite all, simply because they'll have a comon trait, namely being dead." He shook his head and rolled his eyes. "How would that make any difference from how everything is now? A dead greenskin will still be hated as much by a dead human like its living counterpart right now. A greenskin remains a greenskin, even in death. Some goes for humans. Silly necromancer, what a sad little plan."

His cold eyes searched for hers and he stared blankly at the woman. "Undeath is a gift given by Helvetia to those who have earned it in life. Thinking She'd allow just anyone to join those ranks shows your ignorance."

[Duvors]

"Shut the hell up, all of you." said Throlar, "I don't want to hear a stupid debate on the differences between the living and the undead, or those of zombies and yetis, and I don't want to listen to any stupid banter either." He glared in the direction of the necromanceress before continuing, speaking directly to her.

"What you are doing is morally wrong, I won't bother to explain why for the simple reason that you won't pay any attention because you think you are automatically right and will consistently ignore all other points of view, but I'll tell you something, you, and all undead, are in our debt."

He paused before continuing in the same level voice.

"If it were not for the living there would be no death, and therefore no undead, and if all life is replaced by undeath then there will be no more dead, in fact the numbers will lessen due to rot and decay and the breaking of bone and the crushing of skulls, and it will end with nothing, and you'll kill the Norns, Helvita's chosen race among the living, in the process, and I don't think she'd like that."

"And you," he said swiveling to face Eric "show your ignorance by the utter stupidity of that last statement."

[Dragonfire]

Althior rolls his eyes and promptly turns around, strike the yeti across the face. "You're no hero, you idiot! You think we have a choice? You think we wanted this? You know absolutely nothing. We are the chosen few that are given second chances," He comes in close to the yeti. "Either get the hell out of here, or shut the hell up.

Althior stands back up to the other necromancer. "Now, if you're not backing down, let's just end this as quickly as we can. I'm done with this. All of this. And hey, if we're lucky you may even be able to get a lucky shot on the yeti,"

"Heroica has no use for me? Someone who hates undead is the perfect hero for this quest! Sending an undead on a quest to kill undead would never end well! And it hasn't- you're conspiring with the enemy to have me dead! I might kill people but I never raise them back again!" He glares daggers at Althior.

"With the exception of this necromancer who obviously wants to side with the enemy, shall we send these undead back to the grave before they can raise their dragon?"

[K-Nut]

"Heroica has no use for me? Someone who hates undead is the perfect hero for this quest! Sending an undead on a quest to kill undead would never end well! And it hasn't- you're conspiring with the enemy to have me dead! I might kill people but I never raise them back again!" He glares daggers at Althior.

"Not everything in this world is black and white, you racist piece of shit. You think all undead are simply evil and must be destroyed? Some of them can barely move, but obviously that makes them a threat, right? Because they're undead. The purpose of this quest wasn't just to kill the undead. It was to stop the undead. That doesn't mean you have to kill them. People say that Yeti are all brawn and no brain. And honestly, I don't see anything besides that here. So why don't you prove me wrong and not be a huge pain in my side," He turns the necromancer, "Can we just get on with this already? I'm done trying to bring any intelligence to that useless dolt over there,"

[Kintobor]

OOC: Before this degrades any further...

Eric's grin turned wider, revealing his teeth. "So your plan is to unite all, simply because they'll have a comon trait, namely being dead." He shook his head and rolled his eyes. "How would that make any difference from how everything is now? A dead greenskin will still be hated as much by a dead human like its living counterpart right now. A greenskin remains a greenskin, even in death. Some goes for humans. Silly necromancer, what a sad little plan."

His cold eyes searched for hers and he stared blankly at the woman. "Undeath is a gift given by Helvetia to those who have earned it in life. Thinking She'd allow just anyone to join those ranks shows your ignorance."

"Then the elitist scum will be punished, if that's what they wish to do. The greenskins will be with their loved ones until the end of time in the embrace of our Ice Mother.

Then explain why I'm here? Out of the three people who died in the snow, I'm the only one who was brought back from death to serve our queen."

"Shut the hell up, all of you." said Throlar, "I don't want to hear a stupid debate on the differences between the living and the undead, or those of zombies and yetis, and I don't want to listen to any stupid banter either." He glared in the direction of the necromanceress before continuing, speaking directly to her.

"What you are doing is morally wrong, I won't bother to explain why for the simple reason that you won't pay any attention because you think you are automatically right and will consistently ignore all other points of view, but I'll tell you something, you, and all undead, are in our debt."

"And you," he said swiveling to face Eric "show your ignorance by the utter stupidity of that last statement."

"Oh, I love it when you ramble."

She giggles to herself.

"The Norn's believe themselves the chosen race to the Ice Queen, due to the fact that all of them are female, just like her. What they believe and what the Ice Queen believes are two different things entirely. And what I'm doing is morally wrong? Bringing peace to the chaos that is Eubric? Do you want to see the ones around you die? Death will be out of the equation. For everyone in the city."

"Heroica has no use for me? Someone who hates undead is the perfect hero for this quest! Sending an undead on a quest to kill undead would never end well! And it hasn't- you're conspiring with the enemy to have me dead! I might kill people but I never raise them back again!" He glares daggers at Althior.

"With the exception of this necromancer who obviously wants to side with the enemy, shall we send these undead back to the grave before they can raise their dragon?"

Violet glares at Avalanche, looking betrayed.

"Not everything in this world is black and white, you racist piece of shit. You think all undead are simply evil and must be destroyed? Some of them can barely move, but obviously that makes them a threat, right? Because they're undead. The purpose of this quest wasn't just to kill the undead. It was to stop the undead. That doesn't mean you have to kill them. People say that Yeti are all brawn and no brain. And honestly, I don't see anything besides that here. So why don't you prove me wrong and not be a huge pain in my side," He turns the necromancer, "Can we just get on with this already? I'm done trying to bring any intelligence to that useless dolt over there,"

"I couldn't agree with you more."

With a mighty thrust, she kicks the table into the pit of bones, the inner sanctum beginning to rumble. Violet looks on in terror as her heart rolls into the mass of bones.

"My heart!"

"Mistress Amber! What was that for? We were almost-"

"I'm speeding up the process! Heroica wants a fight, they'll get one."

Rising from the bones, the red aura begins to place bones and bits together, as a skeletal dragon rises from the pit, it's once lifeless eyes coming to life with an ominous red glow. Two skeletal claws burst out of the hole, moving it's skeletal talons for the first time in two hundred and fifty years.

"GROOOAHH!"

"Yes! YES! It works! Hehe... hehehe... You will see why they call these dragons "Comet Killers". Orioll, Kydell, let us begin our journey to a better life by getting these Heroicans out of the way!"

Prepare for Combat!

"Four years since I've seen Heroicans, gentlemen! Don't disappoint me..."

"Leave the claws alone, we can deal with them later! Now Avalanche, take a swing at the comet killer from the back row, just so it won't deal a free hit. Your luck should keep you from being harmed unfortunately." Althior uses Light on Amber from the back row as his undead all attack her as well. Violet attacks Orioll from the front row.

Battle Order

Althior

Undead

Avalanche

Throlar

Violet

[Duvors]

"Our loved ones? Undeath is not a form of reincarnation you fool! A living being that becomes an undead being is an entirely different person, THEY HAVE NO MEMORY OF WHO THEY WHERE! They are entirely different people!"

<Pause>

"Even on the rare occasions that that isn't true, those who live on as undead are denied death, and those who are denied death are denied the gift of the afterlife, if it is your intention then you are a monster and a villain on par with Azzural, not that such and fool as you would know who he was, sad, seeing as he is part of your history."

"Oh, by the way, you do realize that it is only by the will of Helvita that the Norns give birth, so if that doesn't make them her chosen race I don't know what does."

"And finally, I'd invest in some minions that recognize the fact that the terms 'Frostheart' and 'Heartless Queen' are in direct contradiction to each other."

With that, Throlar attacked Amber from the front row.

(OCC; Kintobor, I no longer have the round shield, I sent it away during tidings, I now have the Elven Shield, see my stats for the description.)

[Khorne]

Eric rolled his eyes at the remarks of the dwarf. In general, he had grown quite annoyed by the apparant display of ignorance shown by both his party and his enemies. THey simply don't seem to understand the Norse view of life and death. How could he expect them to? The environment Eric had grown up in, was way different than anything he had encountered during his time in Eubric already.

Deciding to up the odds in his favor, Eric used his first turn to take a Nostrum. Most of the party went after Amber, while Avalanche dealt with the skeletal dragon, so Eric charged at one of the Undead Cultists. Eric attacks Kydell from the front row in his second turn.

[Dragonfire]

Avalanche watches in stunned silence as Althior actually decides to fight on the party's side. Seems I was wrong then...he didn't betray us. Putting thoughts of the necromancer from his mind, he faces up to his most terrifying foe yet. Staring the giant beast down bravely, he takes a swing at the Dastanese Comet Killer from the back row.

OOC: @KNut- Despite how stupidly and racist Avalanche is behaving right now, I'd like him to end the quest with a different view of the undead. I know considering his mindset right now that will be a difficult task, but maybe Althior could show some kind of kindness towards Avalanche in the course of the battle, to show him that undead aren't all evil (because that's what he thinks right now).

[Kintobor]

OOC: @Dragonfire I got that under wraps, no worries.

Round rolling shortly.

[Kintobor]

"Our loved ones? Undeath is not a form of reincarnation you fool! A living being that becomes an undead being is an entirely different person, THEY HAVE NO MEMORY OF WHO THEY WHERE! They are entirely different people!"

<Pause>

"Even on the rare occasions that that isn't true, those who live on as undead are denied death, and those who are denied death are denied the gift of the afterlife, if it is your intention then you are a monster and a villain on par with Azzural, not that such and fool as you would know who he was, sad, seeing as he is part of your history."

"Oh, by the way, you do realize that it is only by the will of Helvita that the Norns give birth, so if that doesn't make them her chosen race I don't know what does."

"And finally, I'd invest in some minions that recognize the fact that the terms 'Frostheart' and 'Heartless Queen' are in direct contradiction to each other."

"Oh, please. Your friend Althior begs to differ. The cheap and quick form of necromancy your necromancer practices is a simple way to conjure obedient allies. I have spent years mastering the craft, and the denizens of this city will remember they're former lives once I'm done.

Denied the afterlife? There is no afterlife, not for me, at least. For the minutes I was left to be devoured by those fell beasts I saw nothing but darkness, until I suddenly awoke, the rest of my party mutilated by windigos. This is for the best, dwarf.

So the Norns say."

"Do not chastise us for your own stupidity, dwarf! Our undead queen has many names!"

The entire party is eaten by the dragon. So kyoot!

Battle Order

>Althior- Light on Amber- Shield (Raise Undead- Nothing happens!)

Undead vs. Amber- 69-2=67 damage

Eric downs a nostrum

Eric vs. Kydell- Special Damage/ Hit (45x2=70 damage)

>Avalanche vs. Dastanese Comet Killer- Crit./ Damage (7x2x3=42/4=11-5=6 damage)

Throlar vs. Amber- Special Damage (Throlar is Poisoned and Hexed!)

Violet vs. Orioll- Stun

Right Claw vs. Althior- 15/2-6=7 damage

Left Claw vs. Eric- 15/2-5=8

Althior begins by aiming a spell at Amber, tripping up his spell as he attempts to raise undead that simply aren't there. However, his undead horde swarm the necromancer, dragging her to the ground. Eric downs a golden drink, completing the Heroes Cocktail and striking one of the mummified priests for premium damage. Avalanche manages to crack one of the skeletal dragon's bones. Amber, desperate for help, points toward the dwarven diplomat. Her shadow races from the ceiling and straight towards the dwarf, overshadowing him quickly as his eyes turn black and draws his sword on his fellow team mates, looking ill. Violet takes the back of her shovel to one of the priests heads, knocking him to the ground. The party's enemies remain standing...

Edit: Edited Amber's special to make it a bit more balanced.

Also, I forgot to add more April Fool's shenanigans.

Edited April 1, 2014 by Kintobor

[Khorne]

Did you take into account my Counterstrike for the free hits, 'cause I don't see a damaged Claw?

Eric attacks Kydell in his first turn, then uses his second turn to strike at the Left Claw.

[K-Nut]

Now, if the claw is in the back row and I'm in the back row, plus I have 6 SP so shouldn't I not receive damage? (15/2=7/2=4-6=0)

Althior, the Undead, and Violet all repeat their actions in the same battle order.

[Kintobor]

Alright, seems I made some mistakes here, including the revelation that everyone in this room is Karie.

I'll fix it when I get the chance. Thanks for the heads up, guys!

[Duvors]

"Alright, If this is for the best please explain to me how you ended up dead, because I really don't see how I could possibly fathom that possibility any way, so tell me how it happened and you might have a chance of convincing me."

"And Hexing, really? Did you really have to do that? because I really really want to regain control of my arms at some point in the near future."

Edited April 2, 2014 by Lord Duvors

[Dragonfire]

"Oh no! We're all Karie now!" Avalanche screams, "Help! This is weird....which Karie are you?" He blindly attacks the Dragon-shaped Karie from the front row.

[Kintobor]

OOC: Alright, everything's fixed now, including everyone being Karie (acting!), so we now continue with your originally scheduled quest.

"Ugh! Come on, shadow! When I want you to overshadow someone, I want you to fully overshadow them!"

Amber's etherial companion begins to dig deeper into Throlar's mind, attempting to take full control. Amber simply shakes her head at the dwarf.

"Considering you lot stole that journal by the looks of it, I'm surprised how dense you Heroicans have become.

Four years ago I died going up north in the harsh conditions of Värtland, the majority of my party ripped to pieces by Windigos. I remember seeing Fiora Plocket's intestine's being dug out by a group of Windigos as she died, gasping for breath, her eyes rolling into her werepanther head. Petrov Foldi was surrounded by the undead beasts, I remember seeing him scribbling in that journal of his as we both hid from them. As I made a run for it one of the fell things pounced on me, ripping into my skin and flaying it to shreds. To say the scars haven't healed is an understatement. It's a miracle they didn't do anything to my face. When I found Petrov's body, it was in six different locations.

Is that the explanation you wanted dwarf?"

Battle Order

>Althior vs. Amber Makepeace- Damage (35/2-6=12 damage)

Undead vs. Amber Makepeace- 67 damage

Eric vs. Kydell- Miss/ Special Damage

Eric vs. Left Claw- Miss/ Crit. (22x3+23x2=176-2=174 damage)

Avalanche vs. Dastanese Comet Killer- Crit./Shield (7+13x2=40 damage to Orioll and Kydell, 38 to Amber Makepeace, Left Claw and Right Claw, and 75 damage to the Dastanese Comet Killer)

Throlar vs. Althior- Special Damage

Violet vs. Orioll- Crit. (4+16x2=40 damage)

Left Claw vs. Althior- 0 damage

Throlar takes 5 poison damage. KO!

Althior takes another blast at Amber, only for her to come down with her shiny silver scythe, little blood coming off it. However, Althior's undead continue to swarm the undead Heroican, pulling and gnawing at her. Eric's mighty great sword misses the undead cultist, but aims true towards his other target, one of the undead dragon's claws, causing it to crack and splinter in many places. Avalanche goes on an all out frenzy, pummelling each and every one of his opponents, the dragon feeling the blunt end of the strikes. Throlar willingly takes a swing at Althior, who manages to push the dwarf back. He succumbs to the poison and is knocked out, Amber's shadow leaving Throlar's unconscious body and hastily retreating back to the shadows. Violet continues to bash one of the cultists with her shovel, leaving the mummy with only one option: cower. The left claw takes a swing at Althior but misses, reeling back to the pit of bones. With one party member down, things weren't looking good...

"Seems your down one party member, Heroica."

Edited April 3, 2014 by Kintobor

[Khorne]

OOC: Throlar will most likely not fall at the hands of Eric, so I'll just strike through this piece of text.

Under the spell of the malignant female necromancer, Throlar the Dwarf struck at Eric. Not wanting to bow his head to anyone, especially a party member and concurrent "hero", Eric struck back twice as hard, downing the Dwarf. The little man fell down at the towering Nord's feet. Nobody messed with Eric. Might makes right in his mind and the Nord was sure to roll his muscles when needed to assert his position. However, the Nord surprisingly did not feel any joy from taking out the Dwarf. It felt odd to Eric, especially given the dislike for the knight Eric has had since the moment he laid eyes upon him. There came no grin and no chuckle, no insults in a mocking tone and no arrogant boasting. The Raider gave it no further thought and turned his attention back to the fight at hand.

Eric repeats both attacks.
