Heroica RPG - Quest #99: Six Thousand Feet Under

[The_Customizer]

Erdathcath follows Arthur's instructions, hastening him, and healing Grimwald. "Don't worry men, this battle will be over soon enough!"

Edited April 21, 2014 by The_Customizer

[Flipz]

"Oh, Master Grimwald, since you're wearing my Lens, cast Frailty on the Gold Rats--I'll still be immune to the effect if they damage me, and it'll make them go down much quicker. You'll still be able to attack, or to heal yourself if somehow Lady Erdathcath fails in her healing."

[LordoftheNoobs]

"Good idea."

Grimwald casts Frailty on Gold Rat A. If he is healed, he will also cast Frailty on Gold Rat B. If not, he will heal himself.

[Flipz]

OOC: The Frailty is a free action since you're wearing my Lens; you can cast any Scroll in addition to attacking or healing.

[LordoftheNoobs]

OOC: Forgot, sorry.

Grimwald attacks Dirt Rat A; if healed, he attacks it again (same row and weapon as before) - if not, he heals himself. He also attempts to cast Frailty twice on Gold Rat A, or on Gold Rat B the second time if he is successful the first time.

[Endgame]

Round Two of the Quartz Cave Clash!

>Arthur VS Gold Rat B (back): Hit Critical Hit (11x2=22+31=53x2=106-8=98 damage, Bleeding inflicted, Gladiator Trident thrown) (Re-calculation: 53-8=45 damage)

>Erdathcath uses a Smelling Salts on Arthur (back)

>Erdathcath heals Grimwald (back): No heal No heal

>Arthur VS Gold Rat A (back): Hit Hit (8+31=39x2=78-8=70 damage, Spider Leg thrown) (Re calculation: 39=8 = 31 damage)

>Grimwald heals himself (back): Heal (6+12=18 HP healed)

>Grimwald casts Frailty on Gold Rat A (back): Success!

>Grimwald VS Dirt Rat A (back): Damage (25/2=13/2=7 damage)

>Grimwald casts Frailty on Gold Rat B (back): Success!

>Minoid VS Dirt Rat B (back): Shield: Dance of Drills (18+13=31x2=62/2=31; 31+8x2=47x2=94 damage to Gold Rats, 31+5x2=41 damage to Charcoal Rats, 31+3x2=37 damage to Dirt Rats)

>Charcoal Rat VS Arthur (back): 35/2=18/2=9-20=0 damage

>Charcoal Rat VS Erdathcath (back): 35/2=18/2=9 damage

Arthur leads the charge, lobbing his spears at the rodent menaces. Erdathcath does her duidic duties, doing her best to keep the party up to snuff - but fails to heal Grimwald. He does a fine job of healing himself, chanting off the arcane words of the scrolls to weaken the rats. The Minoid goes on a drilling spree, doing hefty damage to all enemies.

[Flipz]

OOC: I'm not encouraged by Assistance, only the others are, so Gold Rats A and B should be up some health. Also, Grimwald should have Poison 8 now that poison stacks. (unless I've missed something?)

"Lady Erdathcath, care to heal Master Grimwald and our automaton friend? Good work, Master Grimwald, keep it up. If you manage to Frail the Dirt Rats, you could probably take them out in just two hits--but take a moment to clear up that poison first, unless Lady Erdathcath manages to heal you. Master Minoid, I'd appreciate your assistance with Gold Rat B, from the Back Row as usual."

Arthur drinks a Mead and then throws his Duplovian Swift Halberd at Gold Rat A from the Back Row.

Battle Order:

>Minoid

>Arthur

>Arthur

>Erdathcath

>Erdathcath

>Grimwald

>Grimwald

[Endgame]

QM Note: The first issue has been resolved, but I don't believe poisons stack.

"REMARK: referring to me as "Master Minoid" is an unnecessary social convention. QUERY: Why do you do such things?"

Edited April 21, 2014 by Endgame

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald does the same as before, but attempts to cast frailty on the two Dirt Rats instead.

[The_Customizer]

Erdathcath heals Grimwald and Minoid again. (Back Row)

[Flipz]

QM Note: The first issue has been resolved, but I don't believe poisons stack.

"REMARK: referring to me as "Master Minoid" is an unnecessary social convention. QUERY: Why do you do such things?"

"A Quest I went on a while back taught me the importance of showing respect to one's colleagues. I've also found that treating people who are not initially my allies with respect and compassion often convinces them to become my allies, and quite often comrades-in-arms as well. The habit has also proven quite helpful in boosting the morale of those Heroes who are new to the organization--although once or twice that's turned out to be a mistake."

[Endgame]

"I am a machine. Although I have defintions for every emotion, as well as detailed explanations on them, I do not see any need to actually apply them. STATEMENT: If you wish to continue with your social trivilaities, then so be it, but know that they are unnecesary. I am a machine. I do not "feel". I only percieve and analyze."

"Excellent, my skill grows! Hahaha, wonderful!"

Grimwald, very excited, attacks Dirt Rat B twice. He also attempts to cast Frailty on Dirt Rat A until successful.

[Flipz]

OOC: Free Hits should have gone to Minoid and to me.

"Great work, Master Grimwald. Minoid, please take one of the Charcoal Rats this time, and Lady Erdathcath, I'd like you to take the same one once you've healed yourself."

Arthur retrieves his thrown weapons and then throws his Spider Leg at Gold Rat B.

Battle Order:

OOC: Free hits should be:

Gold Rat A vs. Grimwald--no damage (recovers from Stun)

Charcoal Rat A + Dirt Rat A = 60/4= 15 - SP:20 = 0 damage

[Endgame]

QM Note: Fixed.

Erdathcath heals herself and attacks Charcoal Rat A (Back Row, Handcannon). "Minoid, together this rat truly has no chance, let's end their plague, as a team!"

[LordoftheNoobs]

"Druids may be attuned to nature, Minoid, but I doubt that Erdathcath feels any disdain for you, or your presence."

Grimwald repeats his actions, but on the Charcoal Rats instead.

[Endgame]

"Noted. CONFESSION: Erdathcath is the first Druid I've had any contact with.

...It has just occurred to me that I have yet to properly file away information regarding your name, cleric. IDENTIFICATION?"

[LordoftheNoobs]

"Oh, fair enough then. My name is Grimwald Gjinko. Also, I would like to take this time to note that I am a gnome, not a dwarf, just in case there was any confusion..." He strokes his beard thoughtfully. "Although, being an advanced mechanical being, I'm sure you'd be able to figure it out... too bad no-one else seems to be able to."

[Endgame]

"IDENTIFICATION: Grimwald Gjinko. Noted, and filed away for future use.

Yes, I deduced your status as a gnome and not a dwarf, I simply required your name for computational purposes. The beard combined with your height made it simple enough to deduce."

Edited April 23, 2014 by Endgame

[Flipz]

OOC: Overkill.

"Of course I knew you weren't a dwarf, Master Grimwald, you haven't insulted me or tried to rob me blind or psychotically tried to sabotage the entire party." Arthur shakes his head. "I don't have a lot of experience with dwarves outside of Heroica, but the ones that have been attracted to our organization seem to be among the worst of the lot. I really don't see how anyone could confuse you with them."

"If you could focus on making those rats Frail, Master Grimwald, I'd appreciate it. I'd rather not risk your getting injured now if we can avoid it. Everyone else: pile onto Charcoal Rat A, I'll take the other one for now." One hand goes to his sword s he estimates the strength of his enemy.

If the Minoid rolled another SHIELD:

If Charcoal Rat B is Fragile, Arthur melee attacks Charcoal Rat B from the Back Row with his Gladiator Trident, if successful he throws the Trident at Charcoal Rat A from the Back Row; if his initial attack was unsuccessful he tries his Back Row melee attack again. If Charcoal Rat B is not Fragile, he throws his strongest polearm at it from the Back Row for both actions.

If the Minoid does not roll another SHIELD:

Arthur throws his Gladiator Trident at Charcoal Rat B from the Back Row. If his attack is successful and Charcoal Rat B is Fragile, he will melee attack with Sir Roderick's Sword from the Front Row; if not, he will try throwing his Gladiator Trident again.

[The_Customizer]

"Minoid, I am part wood and part elf, there are very few of whom I actually hold disdain for. As long as you fight with me and not against me, I count you a friend." Erdathcath heals herself and attacks Charcoal Rat A. (Back row, handcannon)

[Flipz]

"Part wood and part elf?" Arthur gives Erdathcath a quizzical look. "If I may ask, how did that come about?"

The Minoid takes the liberty of plucking his own arm out of the pile, inserting the tip of his dirll into a small crevice in it to pick it up. With careful, precise movements, he hooks it onto his shoulder and presses the left side of his body against the rock wall. It clicks into place, the body calibrating it. Before long, the hissing and whirring of his body subsides, and the arm is firmly reattached.
