Heroica RPG - Quest #105: Eternal Reaper

Endgame · January 5, 2015

QM Note: Here it is, carried over from the previous battle:

Tailitzer Shot, Level 0 Ice

HP: 100/100

Passive Specials:

Detonate: If the Tailitzer shot is allowed to fall back to the ground and explode, all heroes will take damage equal to their level, disregarding row and SP.

Also: I forgot something! The Eternal Reaper loses 8 levels per limb lost - over the 3 hours it took me to write this up, I forgot. :tongue: Let me add that in.

"Me...? Take him? I, uh, I don't know if that's a, well, necessary risk. Because, he looks rather slow, with all of those, uh, well, the fact that he seems to weight several tons makes him slow, and... He doesn't get free hits on odd numbered round."

"Dad... What does that mean?"

"I wish I knew..."

**Zepher** · January 5, 2015

"I know it. That's why you're grabbing this wonderful sword from me now and putting on the offensive next bout." Looking over at Em he rolls his eyes with great showmanship. "Old folks."

Emjajoas · January 6, 2015

"I'm less concerned about old folks," Mortimer mutters, "and more concerned with old monsters. Let's kill this damn thing."

OOC: I used my venom on my Blazing Bow before the battle.

Battle Order:

Jeaux casts a light spell on the second Reaper's Tail(b) from the back row.

Kintobor · January 6, 2015

OOC: Wait, did my Tasty Pretzel do nothing? :wacko: :cry_sad: :wall:

Karie spits the Tasty Pretzel out.

"Gah, it's gone stale!"

Karie strikes the Apex tail from the back row.

Bricksandparts · January 6, 2015

OoC: Would prefer to attack the apex tail with one of my actions. Also, Boomingham should go near the top I'd say in the case he rolls shield...

Emjajoas · January 6, 2015

OOC: Alright, fixed up the battle order. Should be better now.

**Zepher** · January 6, 2015

OoC: Guardian Angel doesn't kick in until the following round regardless. :thumbup:

Elemental Attacks:

-At the end of every round, the Eternal Reaper chooses an elemental attack to prepare, decided randomly.

-In order to prevent the attack, the heroes must hit each limb - area of effecs attacks such as Ravage disable only the targetted limb.

-Every single limb hit reduces the probability of the attack launching. (Example: Hitting 3 limbs next round reduces the chance of the attack launching form 7/7 to 4/7.)

-As limbs die, the odds scale with each death. (Example: After 3 limbs are destroyed, the odds start out as 4/4 and drop by 1/4 for every limb hit instead of starting at 7/7 and dropping by 1/7 for every limb hit.)

-If the odds are reduced to 0, the spell back fires and all enemies take 100 damage (disregarding row and SP), and have their SP reduced by 10! (The 100 damage burst is affected by Fragile, and SP can be dropped into the negatives.)

Earthquake (Rock): The entire battlefield shakes and tremors, all heroes taking damage equal to their level.

Wind of Destruction (Wind): A squall rips through the party. Three random heroes take damage equal to their level (disregarding row) and have all of their artifacts removed.

Deepest Freeze (Ice): The Eternal Reaper freezes the battlefield. Next round, all succesful hits have a 1/3 chance of doing nothing, due to the attakcing hero losing their balance and slipping.

Eye Of The Storm (Lightning): One random hero is struck by lightning, reducing their HP to 1 and making them permanently Fragiel for the rest of the battle.

The Eternal Reaper is preparing: Deepest Freeze!

"Alright Royce, put that weapon to good use." Boomingham huffs and puffs at the tail end of the enormous monster, trying to keep on the move. It is like fighting a mountain. He heals himself, and then swings his Frozen Saber at the Right Claw A from the back row.

Jeaux casts another light spell at the Reaper's second tail from the back row

OoC: Tail A is stunned so it's ok if I can't get an attack on him.

Apex Tail FR

If not healed: Grand potion BR

If healed: Tail A BR

Emjajoas · January 8, 2015

OOC: If you attack tail A, you have a chance of lowering the End of Turn Spell or whatever to 0/7, meaning he takes 100 damage and his SP gets lowered by 10-- so it's worth it to hit it anyways.

Bricksandparts · January 9, 2015

OoC: Then can someone else target it? :sceptic: I'd really hate to get KO'd by someone else rolling special damage...

Emjajoas · January 9, 2015

OOC: sure thing. Fixed it with that in mind.

Karie does something from the back, mumbling to herself and seemingly stumbling about.

The round plays very similarly to their first against the soul-harvesting deity. The party, hardened by their trials, stands strong against The Reaper. They dodge his constant barrage of crushing blows and magic blast, outmanuevering his massive, snaking limbs and delivering painful blows to most of his limbs. The Eternal Reaper soon retaliates, crushing his creator with a powerful blow. Jeaux takes aim and fires at one of his tails, but the Reaper responds in kind, launching his own devestating blast. The entire party is razed.

"Dammit, what can we do...?"

"Fight." Says Royce Cour simply, twirling the blade between his fingers.
