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

[Scubacarrot]

"Thank you, Master Holla. It would appear that there was nothing hidden up there."

As he goes right back to the pilfering, the Alchemist says to Lind:

"Perhaps that will teach you to look for things that are probably not going to be there... Or maybe not, you know. We are wasting our time here, let's go."

[Lind Whisperer]

As he goes right back to the pilfering, the Alchemist says to Lind:

"Perhaps that will teach you to look for things that are probably not going to be there... Or maybe not, you know. We are wasting our time here, let's go."

"Yes sir, just one moment more, please..."

Lind keeps looking around the room for anything valuable, and searching the walls and floors for hidden cupboards or safes. He sees the soot on his sleeve from the chimney and tries to see if he can brush it off and collect it in his handkerchief*?

(*If one were to throw soot successfully into an enemy's eye, it might hinder their sight, as it were. Of course, the chances of doing it effectively would probably be small, but Asking If Something Counts Is a Free Action...)

I apologize for not updating last night. By the time I got home, I was exhausted. I know I haven't been doing a very good job to update the quest, but I hope to change that with a big one later on tonight. I'm sincerely sorry.

No problem! Totally understandable.

[UsernameMDM]

I'm sincerely sorry.

Make it up to us with some SWEET loot

Ooc:We can be patient for a night )

[Kintobor]

QM NOTE: Big update tomorrow. For now, here's something.

Hoke examines the incense further, attempting to determine it's use.

Looking it over, Hoke determines that the incense is just a bathing incense.

Arthur yawns. He'd prepared for any number of possible methods of danger and intrusion, but boredom hadn't been one of them. As he checks the wine collection for any sign of tampering for what felt like the third time, his mind wanders. Maybe I ought to read something...

Looking the wine bottles over, none of them seem to have been tampered. All the bottle's seals haven't been broken, and they'r all where they would be in terms of date.

He continues from the hallway into the Downstairs Corridor, seeing what it held as he made his way into the Dining Hall.

Looking through the Downstairs Corridor, it merely seemed to connect the Sun Room to the rest of the house. A few portraits and art pieces lined the hallway, as large clean windows began to let moonlight in.

Lind gratefully accepts Guts's assistance in getting himself free.

"Thank you, Master Holla. It would appear that there was nothing hidden up there."

Lind looks around the room for anything valuable, and searches the walls and floors for hidden cupboards or safes.

Lind keeps looking around the room for anything valuable, and searching the walls and floors for hidden cupboards or safes. He sees the soot on his sleeve from the chimney and tries to see if he can brush it off and collect it in his handkerchief*?

After Guts removes Lind's arm from the chimney, he begins to look around for any hidden compartments, but comes up empty handed. Trying to collect soot on his handkerchief, all Lind manages to do is make one big mess.

The party can hear a dog bark aggressively outside, only to be suddenly silenced...

[UsernameMDM]

Hokes ears perk up to the quickly silences canine. He gently puts down the incense and as silently as possible makes his way to the common area of the upstairs.

[Lind Whisperer]

Lind quickly searches through the jewelry one last time for anything that might be interesting, such as a Gold Ring (Worth 15 gold; can be given to someone to make them enamored with the giver). He then carefully takes the pillowcase off the pillow, fills it with the jewelry, and carefully places it in his inventory* for safekeeping. Temporarily.

He walks out into the upstairs common area. "I did say that we should have kept the dog with us..."

(*Hey, I did say I was playing a Munchkin.)

I would like to take this moment to remind everyone that I'd almost gotten the poor doggie to join us as an NPC...

[Flipz]

Arthur does something vaguely in-character because his player is too tired to roleplay but wants to confirm he's still paying attention in spite of not noticing anything happening after the dog stops barking.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"At least the dog gave us a warning ..."

[Scubacarrot]

Guts drinks a Nostrum, Smelling Salts and Mead, then wanders out the room.

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke sees Guts walk into the hallway.

"Who's all up here?" he whispers.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Alexandre creeps in, but keeping an ear out to anything that might occur in the dining room. "I'm here, shall we take up positions?"

[UsernameMDM]

"Did y'all find anything of any significant value? Any collections? I found nothing, nor any points of ingress or egress."

Hoke looks about him one more time, searching the darker corners of the hallway for any signs of activity.

"Should we stay split up? It seems to be us three plus the munchkin, and Thormanil and Arthur downstairs."

[Lind Whisperer]

"Eh...I'm a human...

No, I was unable to find anything of significant value. Except for a pillowcase of jewelry. No sets or anything of real value, though(although I am still trying to see if there's a Gold Ring anywhere among all of it).

I'm not entirely certain as to how we should position ourselves. Together, we may miss an entry into the house, apart, we are weak.

I suggest that we pair up in teams of two, and stand guard in whatever locations afford the best sight of the area."

Ooc: Munchkin is a term for his people group, not his race. It means, effectively, "Child of Muncie," their original village*(Insert long backstory).

*Not to be confused with Munci, Indiana.

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke shakes his head.

"I sincerely hope you will return the jewelry to it's proper place, elsewise you're no better than the group we are supposed to be stopping."

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"The dining room has some nice furniture that we're unable to move. Other than that, no."

[Lind Whisperer]

Hoke shakes his head.

"I sincerely hope you will return the jewelry to it's proper place, elsewise you're no better than the group we are supposed to be stopping."

"I take offense at that, sir! I am guarding these, until I can hand them back to their rightful owner. The irresponsible thing to would be to return it to its 'proper place', leaving it free to be pillaged by Lupine!"

Hoke chuckles.

"Don't be so easily offended, elsewise you won't last long around Guts," he whispers as he flashes the alchemist a mischievous wink and grin.

Edited August 6, 2014 by UsernameMDM

[Scubacarrot]

Guts shrugs theatrically. "Some people simply have more reasons to be offended."

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke suppresses a chuckle and listens once more to the now eerie gloom closing in on the manor.

Lind Whisperer *Gains Triple EXP*

21-year-old male Munchkin

Class: Rogue

Level: 1

Power: 4

Defense: 0

Health: 7/7

Gold: 0

Equipment: Darker Ethereal Deck (Playing Cards) (WP:5, throwing weapon),

Medal of Glory (Artefact/Accessory - Mark of true talent that allows the wearer to gain triple experience from battles. Borrowed from Hoke)

Inventory: Venom, Potion x2, Bedroll, Newspaper with Picture of Lupine(Quest/role-playing item), Ethereal Deck (WP:3, throwing weapon), Akrone Fez (Artefact; SP: 1, Max. Health: +1, Headwear), Frozen Saber (WP: 9, longsword, Stuns enemies) Pillowcase full of Jewelry (Worth 200 gold)

"Did y'all find anything of any significant value? Any collections? I found nothing, nor any points of ingress or egress."

Hoke looks about him one more time, searching the darker corners of the hallway for any signs of activity.

"Should we stay split up? It seems to be us three plus the munchkin, and Thormanil and Arthur downstairs."

Looking about the dark hallway, Hoke finds that only the heroes's footprints.

Lind quickly searches through the jewelry one last time for anything that might be interesting, such as a Gold Ring (Worth 15 gold; can be given to someone to make them enamored with the giver). He then carefully takes the pillowcase off the pillow, fills it with the jewelry, and carefully places it in his inventory* for safekeeping. Temporarily.

He walks out into the upstairs common area. "I did say that we should have kept the dog with us..."

Looking through the wares, Lind finds nothing of the sort, but he does find a boatload of expensive jewelry which he promptly stuffs into a pillowcase.

Pillowcase full of Jewelry- (Worth 200 gold)

Hoke suppresses a chuckle and listens once more to the now eerie gloom closing in on the manor.

All seems peaceful, quiet. The dog that the party heard barking seems to have stopped in it's cries. Everything seems fine, when

CRASH!!!

A loud ruckus emanates from downstairs! Listening, it appears to be coming from the kitchen! Could the burglars already of entered the house? The party would find out soon, as...

~THE CONTINUOUS BATTLE STRIKES AGAIN!~

~ You are engaged in one, continuous battle with Alfendi Lupine and his gang. Basically, everything you do will be played out in turns and rounds.

~ You will gain experience for every group of enemies defeated, following the normal rules of scaled level-up. Enemy groups will be colour coded. If an enemy group flees the manor, and at least one enemy is defeated, experience will still be rewarded.

~ You may move through the rooms during the battle, but switching rooms costs a turn. Enemies may move with you, spending their free hit in the process. The party is allowed to split up, with some fighting in one room and some in another. You must move to an adjacent room, and you can only access rooms that are connected by doors.

~ Investigating something costs a turn, as well. If you find an item, it will be added to your inventory. There are many secrets to find, and some enemies may be hiding as well, so you need to investigate the surroundings (hopefully portrayed in pictures, to help you out).

~ When an enemy is defeated, the hero who dealt the final blow will get the dropped items. Items can be traded like in the normal rules, by both the giver and the recipient spending a turn. You may trade as many items as you like during the turn, so use this to your advantage.

~ Because the battle won't end before morning, special rules apply to job traits and positive effects.

~ Job traits: Flee and Track Down all cost a turn to use. Healing and Spellcasting do not work, instead you need to do them as battle actions (casting a spell on an inanimate object and rolling 5 or 6 will result in a miss). Natural Respite regains one health per turn.

~ Positive effects last for 10 rounds before they need to be reapplied. Negative effects will last as depicted in the rules.

~ If a hero is knocked out, they will remain in the room it happened in until they are revived. They will not gain experience from the enemies defeated while unconscious. Petrified enemies cannot move, either, but they will gain experience (although I doubt we'll be dealing with petrified...)

~ If the party or a hero flees, they will find themselves in the foyer and still in battle.

~ The battle ends on the 35 round. If a member of the party isn't in the Cellar by the 35 round, the quest fails.

~ Talking is free, and so is speech based Job traits, so you can speak with the other party members or the enemies during the battle.

Any questions?

[Lind Whisperer]

QM: I think I'm good, except for one general question - do we need to 'clear out' every room in the house, or will enemies come to us?

Other Heroes: I think that we should(Ooc, it wouldn't make sense Ic,) decide our routes through the house, since we need to make it to the cellar by 35. If enemies come to us, it shouldn't be a problem, but if we have to clear rooms, we should plan our route out carefully, just to be safe.

[Kintobor]

QM Note: The enemies will appear in specific rooms for a certain amount of time, and leave afterwards. If any enemies in a group remain, they will loot the room. They're actively avoiding you, but you have quite a bit of time to find each group, don't worry.
