Heroica RPG - Quest #105: Eternal Reaper

[Zepher]

Boomingham clenches his jaw, but passes his sword to Masson.

[Endgame]

QM Note: I'm moving! ... Meaning that I spent about four hours chucking all of our old stuff in a dumpster. Spry for the delay, 105ers.

"Masson, I'm fine." Karie replies, keeping her eyes on her opponents. Her sheep flees the battlefield, only to nap behind the party.

Masson takes Karie's terseness and a lack of eye contact as a sign f her residual anger.

"Karie, if I violated you, I'm sorry."

"Anyone else think this isn't too hard?" Erdathcath seemiingly oblivious to the damage around her, she continues on attacking the Suffering from the back row, twice, with her handcannon.

"In this Citadel, underestimating your foe is suicide. En garde!"

"Thanks for the blade, Boomingham - I'll see what i can do with this."

The battle continues, Mortimer healing his bleeding as Boomingham passes Masson a sword. The party gains some momentum, Johon ravaging the Unit and Karie hijacking The Wound's mind, only for The Suffering to bring their salvo to a grinding halt. He takes to the skies, dissappearing into the night for a few seconds before launching himself down at Erdathcath, his spear skewering the druid. She falls down, unconscious and bleeding out. Alice is so shocked by the display of brutality she fails to heal Mortimer.

"Erdathcath! I... I'm sorry, Mortimer, but I... I'm having trouble focusing on battle right now."

"Mortimer, I can't just stand by and *wheeze* watch you guys get picked off by the Gladius Unit Please, the *cough* Bleeding is weakened... Let me help! I can strike him, maybe produce a good *wheeze* item! Please..."

"Hmph."

Wound FR

[Kintobor]

Masson takes Karie's terseness and a lack of eye contact as a sign f her residual anger.

"Karie, if I violated you, I'm sorry."

Karie does not reply to Masson immediately, merely gives him a glance before looking back towards the fight.

"Like I said. We're talking about this later." Karie watched as Erdathcath gets back up, slightly irked.

"I've got the Wound under control." She says as she strikes the Wound from the back row.

"Bellum, is there anything you'd like me to tell your kids? Should I ever have the pleasure of meeting them?"

[Endgame]

". . ."

Masson becomes even more unnaturally pale.

"I told you to get out of my head, you..."

"...A I supposed to consider that a taunt, Karie? Or is your question genuine? I can only assume the former, considering your current stance... Besides, you would not understand. You're not a parent."

[Kintobor]

". . ."

Karie feels slightly upset with herself after her husband's silence, but continues to focus on the fight. She still had some choice words to tell Masson.

"We'll talk. Just... not now, not in the middle of this."

"...A I supposed to consider that a taunt, Karie? Or is your question genuine? I can only assume the former, considering your current stance... Besides, you would not understand. You're not a parent."

"Really? Try me. What would you have me tell them, Bellum? I do care, even if it doesn't seem like it." Karie replies sincerely.

[Endgame]

"There's a lot of things we need to talk about."

"...That I'm sorry I chose a military career over my family."

"Like hell we are. But we also realize that you folks are currently a bit bent out of shape, and it's going to take more than a few half hearted swings and stabs to get you working like a competent group again."
