Heroica RPG - Quest #99: Six Thousand Feet Under

[Endgame]

"Non-disclosure agreement."

"Pretty much, yeah."

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald does as Arthur says, casting Poisoning on Erdathcath's handcannon, just in case.

[Endgame]

"I take it you are unfazed by our offer, Gnome?"

[LordoftheNoobs]

"Ah well, I've heard some strange things before, this isn't really anything new. You'd have to say a lot more for me to even consider joining you in anything, though.

[The_Customizer]

"Non-disclosure? Hmm, it actually sounds quite interesting..." Erdathcath secretly equips the overkill gloves while the creatures aren't looking.

[Flipz]

A look of growing concern passes over Arthur's face. He feels his muscles rippling--literally--and has to make an effort to keep himself under control. "I really hope you're not who--or rather, what--I think you are. For your sake."

Arthur looks to the others. "If I'm right, this situation just got a whole lot worse."

[Endgame]

"Awww, you're no fun. You're lucky. Usually for most humans, I just come out of whatever vessel I'm currently possesing, suck their souls dry, and call it a day."

"You folks are getting special treatment."

A look of growing concern passes over Arthur's face. He feels his muscles rippling--literally--and has to make an effort to keep himself under control. "I really hope you're not who--or rather, what--I think you are."

Arthur looks to the others. "If I'm right, this situation just got a whole lot worse."

"Hit us up with your best guess."

"Indulge us, why don't you?"

Edited April 27, 2014 by Endgame

[The_Customizer]

"Oh, it's special alright! Now would you two be dears and leave us alone?"

[Flipz]

Arthur listens as the last piece of the puzzle clicks into place. "Oh believe me, it's not a guess now. You've caused a lot of pain for some good friends of mine...so I owe you repayment in kind. With interest." Arthur unsheaths his sword, holding it in one hand while pointing his spear at the devilish duo. "Bring it, Oculoids."

[The_Customizer]

Erdathcath gives the noble mask to Grimwald while the presumed Oculoids continue rambling.

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald equips the mask in place of his Pugilist's gloves.

"...Am I missing something here, Arthur? What's an 'Oculoid'?"

[Endgame]

QM Note: What's the cloak of misfortune? It isn't in your inventory.

The two giants unleash hollowing laughter - Scafflord's laughter raspy and creaky, and Bouldlord's gruff and gravelly.

"Hah! Guilty as charged!"

"One point for "Team Worthless", it looks like."

"You really are bitter about your pitiful little friends, eh?"

"We made your mentor and your wretched little crush scream!"

"And you're next in line, you abomination - hiding under the guise of flesh! I am Oculoid Chief 0113..."

"...And I am Oculoid Chief 0114."

"And we sentence all of you to death!"

The party draws their weapons as the colluses approach with shocking agility - it was time to throw down with just two of these menaces!

Prepare For Battle!

"You're gonna die here!"

"QUERY: To properly convey my current sentiments, I am going to use a quote. Stirlance, Play A Midwinter Day's Illusion, page 14, paragraph 2: QUOTE: "What the #@$% is going on here?!" END QUOTE."

Edited April 27, 2014 by Endgame

[LordoftheNoobs]

OOC: Whoops, he lent it to me but I forgot to give it back (it's in my inventory).

[Flipz]

OOC: Meant the Cloak of Deception. My equipped artifacts should be Duke's Coat-of-Arms, Unicorn Helmet, Zap-Tap Badge, Cloak of Deception. The others' are correct. Also, Erdy drank a Smelling Salts before the battle, and I'm not sure if you accounted for the one I handed her after the last battle. I also lent the Minoid my Hollow Blade Dagger, and I think Erdy lent him her Quick Bow.

"Burn the witch scaffold! Though you should throw my Horseshoe at it first, Lady Erdathcath. Master Grimwald, we'll need you solely on Scroll and healing duty--use my Healing Staff, since it won't cost you any Ether." Arthur throws his Gladiator Trident at Scafflord from the Back Row.

Arthur

Grimwald

[LordoftheNoobs]

"I'm still a bit confused about what exactly is going on, but if it's a battle they want, it's one they'll get!"

Grimwald heals the Minoid and himself from the back row using the Healing Staff, and also casts Fragility on Scafflord until successful. If successful the first time, he also casts it on Bouldlord.

Edited April 27, 2014 by LordoftheNoobs

[The_Customizer]

Erdathcath attacks Scafflord with her Handcannon from the back row, twice! "Die scum, die!"

OOC: For Bouldlord's passive "collapse" is it supposed to say "regarding" or "disregarding"?

Edited April 27, 2014 by The_Customizer

[Endgame]

QM: Disregarding, my bad.

Round One of The Battle Of The Lords!

>Arthur VS Scafflord (back): Critical Hit (11x2=22+31=53-7=46 damage)

>Grimwald cats Frailty on Scafflord (back): Success!

>Grimwald heals the Minoid (back): Greater Heal (6x2=12+12=24 HP healed)

>Erdathcath VS Scafflord (back): Aim Critical Hit (15x2=30+20=50x4=200x2=400-9=393) (formerly 193)

>Minoid VS Bouldlord (back): Damage (42/2=21-2=19 damage)

>Erdathcath VS Scafflord (back): Aim Aim (20x4=120x2=240-7=113 233) (formerly 113)

The party focusses their efforts on Scafflord, managing to dish out a decent amount of damage to the wooden menace. He begins to spurt and bleed... black ink?

The Minoid stands up to the Bouldlord, only to get crushed by the beast's girth.

"Nnnnnrrrrk."

[Flipz]

OOC: Erdy's hits are Fire-elemental, so she gets another x2 multiplier on Scafflord. Also, I should be Level 31.25, not 31.33.

"Ah! Minoid, stand back and use the Quick Bow on Scafflord. Everyone else, same target."

Arthur grunts in concern as a few drops of ink fall on bare skin, and are absorbed. Hoping none of the others had noticed, he throws his Spider Leg at Scafflord from the Back Row.

Battle Order:

Arthur

Grimwald

Minoid

Erdathcath

Erdathcath

[Endgame]

Fire ravages Scafflord's body, the construct shrieking in pain.

"NNnnnnnrggggh. Insufferable gnats! You won't leave this mine alive!"

[Flipz]

OOC: ...aaand just noticed, you forgot the poison, which definitely stacks when coming from Heroes (see Jess in Quest 88 ).

[The_Customizer]

Erdathcath fires up her Handcannon and attacks Scafflord from the back row, twice. (If the first attack kills him, Erdathcath throws the unlucky horseshoe at Bouldlord, back row.) "Like I said Scafflord, you will die!"

[LordoftheNoobs]

Grimwald heals the Minoid and casts Fragility on Bouldlord.

[Endgame]

Round Two of The Battle Of The Lords!

>Arthur VS Scafflord (back): Damage (44/2=22-20=2 damage)

>Grimwald heals the Minoid (back): Greater Heal (6x2=12+12=24 HP healed)

>Bouldlord VS Arthur (back): 42/2=21-20=1 damage

The Bouldlord and Scafflord dish out some damage, but it isn't enough to save the Scafflord's life. Fire consumes the beast, the wooden monster bleeding out huge amounts of black ink before going up in smoke completely. He collapses into a pile of rubble, Bouldlord looking on in horror and anger.

"HOW DARE YOU?"
