Heroica RPG - Quest #105: Eternal Reaper

[Emjajoas]

"You don't have to fight," Em whispers. "That thing is a monster. I'm afraid too. But... Should you choose to fight, stay behind me as best you can. I am your shield."

[Bricksandparts]

Johon pulls a knapsack from his belongings out, tossing it to Erdathcath, allowing her to borrow any of his scrolls, gems, or wands, and hoping she would distribute them to the other magic users accordingly.

"Shut up!" Johon yells, seemingly at the both the party and the Regret.

[joeshmoe554]

"In my, admittedly limited, experience with you, you seem to claim everything to be a part of your plan after the fact. It seems a greater likelihood the universe is more outside your realm of control than you would care to admit, than this elaborate plan where you constantly destroy your own allies. I do look forward to seeing the total sum of this plan though in the event that I am mistaken."

Jeaux poured one of his phoenix essences into the hollow compartment on his handcannon and applied the Crimson Haze to the weapon.

[Zepher]

"I wouldn't call them an army... More like... Cattle, shall I put it, for now.

My title is not General. I created most of my own followers, and they were brought into this world for ther sole purpose of obeying me. Those who I didn't create, I tore apart and rebuilt as I saw fit. I am their Master, not their General, and I will do whatever I damn well please with my servants."

"Enough cattle wanting to kill me and I'd be shaking in my boots," says Boomingham with a shrug. "And sounds to me that you're just master of yourself, same as everyone else. You create something that follows you blindly, that has no agency, well, that's just an extension of you, right? I think so."

"But you forget I've watched your kind for centuries. I've observed and judged humans for more than a millennium. I've passed my judgement, and I dare say it is more valid than yours. You act on impulse, and disgust. You fear that I'll destroy you and your kind. I had hope for humanity, once upon a time. That humanity is gone."

"I don't think humanity cares all that much what you think of it. It's what you do that matters, not some judgement." Boomingham laughs at the automaton's quip, and draws his sword. "If we need to kill your sea beast first, than alright, let's get to it already."

[Endgame]

It seems a greater likelihood the universe is more outside your realm of control than you would care to admit, than this elaborate plan where you constantly destroy your own allies. I do look forward to seeing the total sum of this plan though in the event that I am mistaken."

Jeaux poured one of his phoenix essences into the hollow compartment on his handcannon and applied the Crimson Haze to the weapon.

"I am the only one that my scheme is fully reliant one. The rest can be replaced, most of them entirely. Yes, you have destroyed some of my assets. That is objective fact, something I cannot deny. But ultimately, what have you done to delay me?"

"Enough cattle wanting to kill me and I'd be shaking in my boots," says Boomingham with a shrug. "And sounds to me that you're just master of yourself, same as everyone else. You create something that follows you blindly, that has no agency, well, that's just an extension of you, right? I think so."

"You're quite right in one aspect, and horrifically wrong in another. Yes, most of my legion is just a reflection of myself. But I am far more than master of them. I have started countless wars. I have achieved mastery over almost all forms of magic. I have a program devoted entirely to tearing humans apart and reassembling them as my slaves. I once created an entire island. I dare say I am far more than merely the Master of myself.

But if it's a fight you want... Who am I to deny you that? Ameoboss: Attack."

The Regret once again vanishes into thin air, the Ameoboss suddenly growing far more aggressive. He roars again, scattering hail across the deck. He rears up and prepares himself for battle, his claws gripping the deck. It was obvious that the Ameoboss was going to cause quite a bit of collateral damage during the fight...

"We have to wrap this up quick! We'll only have eight rounds before this thing's thrashing causes enough collateral damage to sink the boat!"

"RRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRGGHHHLLLLLKLL!"

Prepare For Battle!

"Slow down, ugly. We've got to court each other a little before we allow you onto our ship." Boomingham swings at the right tusk from the back row.

[The_Customizer]

OOC: I should be hastened, right?

Also, are handcannons categorized under bows, or is it JUST bows for the Ameoboss weakness?

"Alright men, today is the day of our first battle, and soon to be our first victory. We need to focus on taking out the arms, tusks, and claws first, Karie, if you can put the main Ameoboss to sleep, that will give us enough time to rip apart the rest of him. We cannot allow them to attack us, if we do, it will most likely be the end for us."

Battle Order:

-------------------------------

Boomingham (attack either Ameoboss tusk with your great sword)

Johon (use Gladius on either tusk, one for each turn, hopefully you can get fragile onto them)

Erdathcath uses Handcannon on Right Arm (back row)

Johon (use Gladius on either tusk, one for each turn, hopefully you can get fragile onto them)

Em (Attack one claw)

Jeaux (Attack the other claw)

Erdathcath uses Handcannon on Left Arm (back row)

Masson attacks tusk that Boomingham targets, with Zandatsu

Karie (use scroll of sleep on Ameoboss)

Punii attacks Right arm.

[Endgame]

QM Note: It only applies to Bows. Also, you are now Hastened.

The Ameoboss glares at Boomingham. Em translates...

<You'll be the first to die.>

[Emjajoas]

"Seems you pissed him right off, Boomingham," Em remarks while firing his Aquabow at the Ameoboss from the back row.

"Um, other woman standing over here? Oh, whatever..."

Karie uses Scroll of Sleep against the Ameoboss from the backrow.

[joeshmoe554]

Jeaux clutches his topaz and hurls a lightning bolt toward the right claw from the back row

OOC: new summon order (Lightning Armor, Flame Armor, Paladin Armor, Demon Armor)

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: Erdathcath should also be lucky

Gladius, Right Tusk, FR

Gladius, Left Tusk, FR

[Endgame]

QM Note: I don't note permanent effects.

[Zepher]

"You'll be the first to die," counters Boomingham with a hearty smile.

[Endgame]

QM Note: For the record, if you fail to specify a row for an NPC, and that target will not instakill them on a roll of Damage, they'll move to the front automatically.

"This first onslaught we have survived, and done well, continue on until this creature falls!"

Battle Order

------------------------

Boomingham (repeat move)

Em (attack right/left claw)

Johon (repeat moves)

Johon (Repeat moves)

Jeaux (attack right/left claw that Em doesn't attack)

OoC: Yes, and I don't see cursed/poisoned listed in the results at the end of the round, generally they're listed under free hits so we know they're working.

Boomingham repeats.

[joeshmoe554]

OOC: Jeaux is blessed, Boomingham dealt fire damage with a greatsword (4x multiplier), Ravage deals 2xWP + Level in damage, Zandatsu should lower the target's level by 1

Jeaux trys to throw another lightning spell at the Right Claw from the back row

Edited August 5, 2014 by joeshmoe554

[Endgame]

QM Note: I don't typically note those passives (I'm good at accounting for the damage they take, not neccasarily the fact that they're applied. ) But if you'd like me to I will.

Jeaux now has 3 more HP.

Johon pulls off an imprssive ravaging, tearing through all of the Ameoboss's limbs. However, in the process, he stirs the Ameoboss itself, the beast's head waking up from it's slumber. Jeaux gets slashed at by one of the claws, being sent sprawling across the floor. Karie and Masson team up and nearly shatter another tusk, but their victory is cut short by the Ameoboss's cunning manuever. He headbutts Boomingham, the blow being just enough to knock the Paladin unconscious.

<You've failed as a leader.>
