Heroica RPG- Quest #103: Alfendi Lupine Strikes Again!

[swils]

"No deal."

[UsernameMDM]

Instead of stumbling about with the werewolf's trip attempt, Hoke rolls gracefully into a defensive crouch, placing himself between Alfendi and the wine rack, setting up a flanking maneuver with his comrades.

"Jumping to conclusions? Whether you have 2 or 2,000 men in your association, you are no more than a pack of thieves, taking what you did not earn."

[Lind Whisperer]

"A farmer takes no fear of his prey, unlike a hunter."

Lind draws the Frozen Saber, and takes his place at the front of the battle order.

"The fox springs."

Lind attacks first.

Ooc: Yes, I am probably going to be K'O and lose my experience for this battle unless Lupine is really low. But since Arthur isn't going to make the first combative movement, and since I've just spent the last text box boasting, it kind of is up to me to try to prove the validity of my boasts...

No one said boasting was a wise thing to do.

Hoke readies himself to attack once again, this time aiming to strike true.

Can we move forward to the battle?

Let's get this show on the road!

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Alexandre equips the shackles of war.

"You are a pathetic animal. En guarde."

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke hunkers down further into the defensive stance, shield held high, flapole tip poised to sink into Alfendi's heart.

Can we please get the battle up today?

[Kintobor]

It'll be up later today. I've got other things that need to get done first, but the battle will get posted.

[Kintobor]

"So be it." He states coldly, pushing the party back. Pulling a cane from his robes, he points it at the party, ready for battle.

Hoke casts Frailty on Alfendi Lupine (Front Row) -

Guts throws Fog Bomb (Instant Items)

Guts attacks Alfendi Lupine (Front Row) -

Guts drinks Grand Potion (only IF injured, Instant Items)

[Lind Whisperer]

"The fox crouches."

Lind equips the Frozen Saber, and stands in the back row. He attacks Lupine last in game mechanics, in RP he attacks him first.

Ooc: If Flipz posts a roll, and Lind does not respond before all of the others have, assume that Lind follows Flipz's battle order.

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke quickly whips the flagpole in a flourish and recites the incantation from a scroll in his collection as he spins defensively against Alfendi's strikes.

Alfendi, Scroll of Frailty, Front Row

[UsernameMDM]

We are strategizing via PMs, so when Flipz post the order and actions, they are good to go.

[swils]

Shishkebab vs Alfendi x2, front row

[Scubacarrot]

Guts follows the plan.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Alexandre attacks Lupine, front row with his even blade.

[Kintobor]

Okay, I can tell some of you are antsy to move this along, so I want some input. Would you guys be fine if I autorolled the following rounds until Lupine hits Kintobor Syndrome?

[UsernameMDM]

YES!!!!! Or at least 1 update a day.

[Flipz]

OOC: I believe we'd all like that.

Because it's been asked in our group PM, will we get to keep our buffs after KS triggers, or will it be counted as a separate battle?

And it if counts as a separate battle, do we get double XP?

[Kintobor]

It's just a continuation of the battle with Lupine getting some added buffs. The only way your losing your buffs is if you get knocked out or Aggressive Frenzy is rolled.

[Lind Whisperer]

Yes, I'd be more than fine with that.

[UsernameMDM]

Sounds good to me, Roll it!

[Flipz]

Any chance we could get some rounds rolled today?
