Heroica RPG - Quest #99: Six Thousand Feet Under

[Endgame]

Claire fires her Handcannon furiously at Dodekka, from the back row. "Scum, when I'm done with you today, they'll have to glue to back together...in HELL!"

"I am doing the right thing here... When I'm inished with you, I'll strap you to the chair and start experimenting on you! You'll make a fine replacement for Lynne!"

Round Six of the Primordial Pummel!

>Arthur VS Dodekka (back): Critical Hit Hit (17+31=48x2=96/2=48=8=40 damage)

>Grimwald VS Dodekka (back): Damage Critical Hit (6x2=12+14=26x4=104-8=96 damage)

>Arthur VS Dodekka (back): Special Damage Critical Hit (20x2=40+31=71x2=142-8=134 damage)

>Erdathcath VS Dodekka (back): Damage Aim Hit Critical Hit (15x2=30+21=51x4=204-8=196 damage, 23 gold Overkill)

>Trian VS Grimwald (back): 5 HP healed

>Pont VS Arthur (back): 30/2=15 -20 =0 damage

The party unleashes a relentless barrage against Dodekka. He nearly flattens the heroes, but Arthur's lucky shot with the Sword of the Vampir triggers his mindless mimicry. Grimwald and Arthur launch a flurry of attacks that leave Dodekka weakened, Claire finishing him off with a savage cannonball through the body. It pierces through his armor, pulling out some of his smoky intestines in the process.

Edited June 12, 2014 by Endgame

[Flipz]

OOC: Hate to say this because it means it's likely Dodekka won't be dead, but...Erdathcath should have gotten 4 rolls, meaning she could have rolled a SHIELD, raising Minoid and Lynne.

[Endgame]

QM Note: I just rolled, and: Aim and Hit. Dodekka stays quite dead.

[Flipz]

OOC: Battle Frenzy still takes row into effect, yes?

"All right, we're in a holding pattern now. Claire, Healing Staff me until we get everyone raised up--including Lynne. Grimwald, Healing Staff yourself. If you've been healed already, turn that Healing Staff against Pont. I'll Remedy you next Round, assuming Claire hasn't handled it already."

Arthur swings his Sword of the Vampir at Trian from the Front Row. He then uses a Remedy on Erdathcath unless she's already free of negative effects, in which case he retrieves Zoot's Rebel.

Battle Order: and summary of suggested actions

>Arthur (Sword of the Vampir) VS Trian (front):

>Claire (Healing Staff) VS Arthur (back):

>Arthur uses Remedy on Claire (back):

>Grimwald (Healing Staff) VS self (back): OR >Grimwald (Healing Staff) VS Pont (back):

(if raised) >Minoid (Quick Bow) VS Pont (back):

OOC: If Erdy fails to roll Roots this Round, could we please autoroll with the following actions?

Autoroll B.O. and actions:

IF Trian has not gotten off a Battle Frenzy: >Arthur (Sword of the Vampir) VS Trian (front): OTHERWISE: >Arthur (Sword of the Vampir) does nothing (back):

IF Grimwald still Electrified: >Arthur uses Remedy on Grimwald (back): OTHERWISE IF Trian has not gotten off a Battle Frenzy: >Arthur (Sword of the Vampir) VS Trian (front): OTHERWISE: >Arthur (Sword of the Vampir) does nothing (back):

>Claire (Healing Staff) VS Arthur (back):

IF Grimwald has >20 HP: >Grimwald (Healing Staff) VS Pont (back): OTHERWISE: >Grimwald (Healing Staff) VS self (back):

(if raised) >Minoid (Quick Bow) VS Pont (back):

[The_Customizer]

"Dodekka, what did I tell you? Of course, with that massive cannon-ball sized hole in your chest, they may just need a bit more than glue to fix you...." Claire uses the Healing staff on Arthur (back row) "Come on roots of life, don't fail me now, we need to bring Lynne back to life!"

[Endgame]

QM Note: Yes, Battle Frenzy does not defy row. In all likelihood, I will be unable to roll another round tonight, so:

Round Seven of the Primordial Pummel!

>Arthur VS Trian (front): Critical Hit Critical Hit (17x2=34+31=65-8=57 damage)

>Claire VS Arthur (back): Damage Damage Damage Shield: Roots Of Life (15+21=36 HP healed to all)

>Arthur does nothing

>Grimwald VS Pont (back): Hit (5+14=19 HP healed)

>Minoid VS Pont (back): Critical Hit (6x2=12+20=32x2=64 damage)

>Pont VS Arthur (back): 30/2=15 -20 =0 damage

Claire finally manages to trigger the Roots of Life. They slither in through the cracks in the basement, healing each and every wound with a mere touch. Minoid and and Lynne stagger up, back in action. Lynne, however, seemed unable to fight, merely watch and hope.

"STATEMENT: I owe you thanks, Erdathcath."

"I'm... alive...? Where... am I?"

"NOnonnononononononono..."

OOC: Trian should also be Hastened and dishing out Poisoned-by-10, unless I've misunderstood Mimicry?

"Trian's done for within a few Rounds, but I'll let you Overkill him anyway, Claire--the rest of us can take Pont. Grimwald? Smash."

Arthur retrieves Zoot's Rebel and throws it at Pont from the Back Row. Minoid shoots Pont from the Back Row with the Quick Bow.

Battle Order:

>Arthur retrieves Zoot's Rebel

>Claire (Tritech Handcannon) VS Trian (back):

>Grimwald (Knotted Broom) VS Pont (back):

>Minoid (Quick Bow) VS Pont (back):

>Arthur (Zoot's Rebel) VS Pont (back):

[Endgame]

QM Note: My mistake. I'll autorun the rest of this battle soon.

QM Note: My mistake. I'll autorun the rest of this battle soon.

Once Trian is dead and Pont is poisoned, Arthur does nothing in the Back Row until Pont succumbs. (He also suggests such a strategy to the rest of the party.)

Autoroll Battle Order:

Arthur

Arthur

Grimwald

Minoid

Claire

[The_Customizer]

OOC: Endgame, I thought you were just going to autoroll off of Arthur's battle order?

Claire does as Arthur instructs. "Don't worry Trian and Pont, it will all be over quite soon."

[Endgame]

QM Note: Something came up - nothing bad, though! I'll autoroll in a bit.

Round Nine of the Primordial Pummel!

>Claire (Tritech Handcannon) VS Trian (back): Aim Aim Hit Critical Hit (15x2=30+21=51x4=204-6=198 damage, 144 gold Overkill)

>Arthur VS Pont (back): Critical Hit (20x2=40+31=71-6=65 damage)

>Pont VS Arthur (back): 5 HP healed

Trian is fatally shot, Claire repeaing some gold from his corpse.

Round Ten of the Primordial Pummel!

>Erdathcath VS Pont (back): Special Damage Critical Hit (15x2=30+21=51x2-102-6=96 damage, 9 gold earned)

Like the other two devils before him, Pont is felled by a handcannon shot from Claire. the savage viking girl lets loose a shattering blast, the cannonball tearing through Pont's head. he collapses to the ground, black ooze slowly bubbling out of his neck.

The party steps back to bear witness to the inky carnage. Grimwald, struggling between his two personalties, grips onto his weapons, and clutches his scrolls. he had seen many horrors these past few hours, but now the gnome - or, perhaps, the ogre - felt ready for a new job class.

Lynne looks around the room like a frightened child.

"Take me with you, please... I can't be alone... Not here, not now..."

"STATEMENT: The door upwards should be open. The six pedestals have been pressed, and the light seems to be reflected properly."

[Flipz]

"Since neither of you have mentioned interest in classes that could use this armor, I'll just hang on to it for now. I have a few friends back at the Hall who could sorely use the added defense. Speaking of things we can't use, here, there's no reason for me to hang on to this sushi--enjoy it." He turns to Minoid. "Here, you should borrow my Sword of the Vampir as well."

Loot:

Grimwald: Smelling Salts, 60 Gold, 2 Sushi (take from Arthur's inventory)

Erdathcath: Smelling Salts, 60 Gold, 1 Sushi (take from Arthur's inventory)

Arthur: Heavy Armor

Lynne looks around the room like a frightened child.

"Take me with you, please... I can't be alone... Not here, not now..."

"STATEMENT: The door upwards should be open. The six pedestals have been pressed, and the light seems to be reflected properly."

"Of course, Lynne," Arthur says kindly. "We want to free as many victims of The Regret as we can before we bury this place forever. And no one deserves to have to suffer alone, least of all someone who's suffered as much as you have. You're free to join us."

[Endgame]

"T-thank you, I... I can't believe I've gone so many years like this... I used to be royalty... And, Dodekka, I think... I think he was too... I think he was my husband. But I... I can't remember. The Regret took everything from me, even that memory... Everything..."

Edited June 28, 2014 by Endgame

[Flipz]

"If I may offer some advice, Lynne? You're never going back, the past is in the past. Let it go...let it go. Don't hold it back anymore. It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small, but the things that once controlled you can't get to you at all. It's time to see what you can do, to test the limits and break through. His rules were wrong, trust me, you see...you're free."

OOC: I regret nothing!

[Endgame]

"You... Don't understand... There is still a huge portion of my mind right now, screaming "Get in the chair! Get in there, and wait for your Master!" It keeps telling me to obey, over and over... But I-I'm trying to fight it. If I ever attempt to pledge my allegiance to The Regret again, I want that woman... Claire, right...? To shoot me. I want her to shoot me... And kill me, just like the other Devils, if I regress.

...O-okay?"

The Bookmark pipes up.

"I may have something of a solution for this..."

Edited June 14, 2014 by Endgame

[Flipz]

"...What sort of solution? Would that fungus upstairs you mentioned help her?"

[Endgame]

"Quite the opposite. I realize it is something of a... breach of contract, so to speak, but I think immersion could actually be used medically here. She is clearly mentally distrubed. It'd be delicate, but I may be able to meld her mind with another character from literature to cure some of the trauma... So, I suppose I am proposing a partial immersion. Big difference is, if we were to leave the druid alone for about a week, she would forgot her old self entirely and permanently. With a partial immersion, Lynne will remember herself, just with some new quirks and less trauma."

Edited June 14, 2014 by Endgame

[Flipz]

Arthur looks between Bookmark and Lynne, concerned. "I'm definitely not a fan of the magicks involved, but if it'll help her...the choice is ultimately yours, Lynne. It's your life."

Arthur begins rummaging in his pack for something, pulling out a bottle of Mulled Wine and handing it to Minoid. "Here, hold on to this for a minute, would you?"

[Endgame]

"...I... want to escape this. I don't want to live like this... Please, whatever you are, cast the spe-"

"Not so fast. Unfortunately, the only female personality i know how to immerse so far is Claire's. So, if you don't mind, Lynne, I'm going to wait until Erdathcath gets the antidote."

"O-okay... Lets... Move on, I suppose? Head up?"
