Endgame Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 QM Note: After 2 weeks of horrible weather and horrible weather-induced car accident, I am back! Also: Being the final boss, even though he didn't last as long as I projected (I should've pulled the trigger and gave him the 9999 HP I had planned), you get double EXP for killing the ER - and for putting up with my extended, aggravating absences. The Eternal Reaper speaks, his voice wavering. His booming voice that seemed to envelope the entire Lonely Island was now broken, its many layers and tones fading into the voice of one defeated old beast. His limbs gnarled and broken, gushing blood from every orifice, he speaks... "...Three thousand years. Eight hundred as Prometheus. Two thousand and some odd centuries as The Regret. A mere hour as the Reaper. ...I think I'm ready for oblivion, heroes. I've seen the land of the dead for as long as I can remember - I can hardly even begin to imagine what awaits me when this body dies. Thousands of souls stuffed into this, this... Abomination, really, that's what it is - and not a single one to call my own. It's going to be damn interesting, that's for sure. I suppose I'm ready for final curtain call, heroes." "All *wheeze* these lives taken... All for a suicidal temper tantrum?" "I see no point in arguing in the value of human lives with you, Punii. So I will only say this: I do have regrets. Many of them just futile self loathing, but some lives taken perhaps went too far in molding the ones who would allow me to become The Reaper. And yes... This all has been an elaborate suicide, to escape the sin I made in a past life two milleniums ago. And you know why." "You needed *wheeze* heroes for your sick scheme." "Yes. And this time... I think I found some pretty good ones." says The Reaper, looking towards the group of heroes. Quote
Emjajoas Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) "You found the best damn heroes this side of the world," Mortimer states, bloody, bruised, worn. "You'll earn no sympathy from me, Regret. May you and your dogs find your way into the deepest level of Hell. If you see Erdy on your way there..." Mortimer glanced at the corpse of their comrade, frowning. It was his fault. He lead her to her untimely demise. He ran a hand along the eyepatch covering his empty socket. This wouldn't be a quest he could forget. "Tell her she won't be alone long."

Kintobor Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Karie's arms ache as she allows her Oculoid palm to writhe it's way up her hands. She breathes heavily and raggedly. All this, and here he was before her. The Eternal Reaper. Defeated... yet somehow in his own sick way, successful. Karie grimaces at the huge monstrosity, her mind full of anger and remorse. She felt tired. Her paint was smeared with blood as well as smudged in many spots, revealing her pasty skin. "I hope you're happy Regret. I hope you're happy with whatever you feel you've accomplished. All the senseless destruction and death... just so you could get to this point... just so you could die. If one last death will end this suffering once and for all... then so be it." Karie drew Sexy. Quote
Zepher Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Boomingham sighs, and wipes his sword in the snow. "What a waste," he growls. "You've lived some three thousand years, and this is all you accomplished. You lived until you wanted to die. Pah. Idiotic." Boomingham walks up to the Regret. "I didn't want to kill your younger self, I'm sure you remember. He hadn't committed any crimes. And he had the right to live and do what he was going to do. But if you're ready to die, Regret, then I'm ready for you to as well. You've thrown away a life, might as well throw away a death as well." Boomingham stands next to Karie, sword drawn. "Shall we finish him, dear?" Quote
Emjajoas Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Mortimer draws his bow, slowly aiming at the Regret. "Sorry to leave you waiting, then. Here comes judgement." Quote
Zepher Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Boomingham glances over at Karie and then over his shoulder at Em. "What, are we all going to strike a dramatic pose? This isn't a play, though the Regret acts like it. No need for dramatics." Boomingham shoves his blade into the Regret's head. Quote
Emjajoas Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 "A melodramatic end for a melodramatic villain. I thought it would be fitting," Mortimer mutters, a grin creasing the corner of his lips. He fought to keep the grin from turning into a frown, fought to keep his knees from buckling. Quote
joeshmoe554 Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Jeaux lowered his hand cannon. This quest had been a long one, but it was complete and the party had emerged victorious. He opened his briefcase to store the diamond he had been wielding through the fight. Before shutting the briefcase, he removed the items and equipment he had borrowed from the other party members. Karie: Ruby, Sapphire Johon: Aquamarine, Emerald, Garnet, Opal, Scroll of Sleep, Scroll of Blindness, Scroll of Sealing, Scroll of Confusion, Scroll of Frailty, Scroll of Weakening, and Bravado Boots Quote
Zepher Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Boomingham yanks his sword out of the Regret's corpse and walks over to Em, patting him on the shoulder. "You did good, chap. Life is tough. We just gotta be tougher." He exhales, and then walks over to Erdy's broken body. He gently tugs her amulet off her neck. "Damn." A moment of silence passes. "I say we burn the body and bring this thing back to the Hall for her. I didn't know her all that well, but she was a hero, so... I guess that's as good a place for her to be remembered as any." Quote
Emjajoas Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 OOC: Hate to ask a weird question, but do we get the spirits' inventories as loot? "Aye. You all did well," Mortimer nods, partially agreeing with Boomingham. Victory was hard to taste when it was this bitter. He draws Doppelganger, handing the sword back to Karie with a nod and a forced smile. "Thank you," he states. Crouching next to their fallen comrade's body, his facade breaks. "I'll take Erdy back. I'm... not sure what we do with deceased heroes." Mortimer scowls,, quickly doing the gruesome job of sharing her loot amongst the party: Boomingham: Amulet of Optimism (Adds the confused-effect to all attacks; accessory, suitable to Erdathcath only), Shovel, Pickaxe, Potion, Mead, Saber Teeth, Grand Tonic, Jinxy Juice, Grating Stone, Elixir, Silver Ore, 114 Gold, Mythril Shard (1) Jeaux: Longbow (WP:7), Quick bow (WP: 6, bow, provides hastened effect for one round each battle), Machine's Heart (The hollowed out heart of Monolith, after being defeated, halves all damage from Earth, Electrical, and Mechanical type enemies; bodywear, suitable for anyone), Potion, Grand Potion, Mead(2), Grand tonic (2), Elixir, Silver Ore, Remedy, 114 Gold Johon: Satchel of Awesomeness (Permanent Lucky-effect; bodywear, suitable for anyone), Qlice (WP: 8, club, permanent Poison 4), Grand Potion, Potion (2), Mead, Bone, Skeleton Decoy, Blind Fury, Neutralizer, Equilibrium Tonic, Oculoid Miasma , 117 Gold Karie: Mage's muffler (protects from sealing; accessory, suitable for anyone), Scroll of Weakening, Helmet (+1 max. health; headwear, suitable for anyone), Snake Eye Charm (protects from petrified; accessory, suitable for anyone), Helmet (+1 max. health), Potion, Mead, 15 Venoms, 2 Deadly Venoms, Grand tonic, Jinxy Juice, Love Potion, Elixir, Sushi (restores 5HP and 5 Ether), Remedy, 114 Gold Mortimer: Tritech Handcannon (WP:16, Fire-elemental, permanent poisoned 7 + 10, cursed), 2 Floral Bombs, 2 Ice Bombs, 2 Lightning Bombs, 1 Fire Bomb, 3 Smoke Bombs, 2 Water Bombs, 2 Holy Bomb, 2 Dirt Bombs, 2 Air Bombs, Chaotic Bomb (100 random elemental damage to all opponents), Smoke Bomb, Bedroll, Telescope, Potion, Mead, Silver Ore, 114 Gold, Reaper's Heart, Mythril Shard (1) (If anyone has any qualms about how I divvied this up, please speak up) If we get the Spirits' inventories as loot (and some of the stuff from the NPCs): Consumables in Red, Equipment in Blue, Gems in Green: Boomingham: Grand Tonic (3), Grand Potion, Phoenix Incense, Topaz, Sapphire Jeaux: Grand Tonic, Grand Potion (2), Remedy, Smelling Salts, Ether Core, Garnet, Aquamarine, Speed Reading contacts (2/3 chance of becoming hastened for the next round at the end of every round) Johon: Grand Tonic, Grand Potion (3), Remedy, Health Core, Purging Water (Removes all positive effects from enemies), Ruby, Emerald Karie: Grand Tonic, Grand Potion, Phoenix Essence, Ether Core, Diamond, Amethyst, Opal, Speed Reading contacts (2/3 chance of becoming hastened for the next round at the end of every round) Mortimer: Grand Tonic, Grand Potion (2), Phoenix Essence, Bravado Brew, Smoke Bomb (2), Spectral Cape (SP: 5, backwear) Mortimer gingerly lifts her body, his broken smile now a frown. "Let's go. I'm eager to see the end of this place." Quote
Kintobor Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Boomingham sighs, and wipes his sword in the snow. "What a waste," he growls. "You've lived some three thousand years, and this is all you accomplished. You lived until you wanted to die. Pah. Idiotic." Boomingham walks up to the Regret. "I didn't want to kill your younger self, I'm sure you remember. He hadn't committed any crimes. And he had the right to live and do what he was going to do. But if you're ready to die, Regret, then I'm ready for you to as well. You've thrown away a life, might as well throw away a death as well." Boomingham stands next to Karie, sword drawn. "Shall we finish him, dear?" Karie does not respond to Lawrence, nor did she really acknowledge him. She'd had enough of his presence and cryptic words. There was enough on her mind and more to worry about. Quote
Zepher Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Boomingham frowns. "We can't take her back, chap. It's a three week ride at least. I don't know much about this stuff, back back in my army days when we had the misfortune of traveling by ship you didn't keep the dead on or else everyone got sick. What's the use of the body anyway? Long as we have something to have her remembered by. I think it's best to leave her here. This was her final battle. If you're queasy about burning the body I can help you dig a grave." Quote
Emjajoas Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Em nods quietly. "You're... right." Sighing, he puts her back down gingerly. "Burning is the best... solution, yeah?" Quote
Zepher Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 "It's the right choice, chap. I expect you to do the same thing for me when I'm done." Quote

joeshmoe554 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Jeaux uses the ruby before passing it to Karie to light their former comrades body ablaze. He could hear her wooden form crack and splinter as the flames consumed it. Quote
Bricksandparts Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 OoC: Sorry for my absence . Been having internet issues primarily, but should hopefully be online again soon. Also, before we forget, add the scroll of anti-magic and the luminous bow to my inventory from the tourney. Johon remains silent through most of the events. His thoughts are filled with the memories of Erdathcath, and his bouts with the regret before. It seemed impossible that it was finally over. He looks over his shoulder down to Punii. "I..." he begins. "It's over..." A tear falls from his hooded face. He turns to Erdathcath, an remains silent for a few seconds. "Your sacrifice will never be forgotten." He says as the flames engulf the body. Quote
Emjajoas Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Mortimer nods, looking away from their comrade's corpse. "We have what we came for," he mutters, hefting the Regret's Heart, sneaking wincing glances at the pyre. "Let's... Let's go." Quote
Endgame Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 The party drives their weapons through the inky blackness that was The Eternal Reaper's face. Their swords pierce something within the insurmountable darkness, dealing the killing blow to the once proud villain. "Peace, tranquility... I had forgotten what it felt like..." The Reaper's body falls limp. Without his hateful mind guiding the artificial collosus, it begins to come apart form the seams. The primordial souls, tempered by The Regret's will, begin to dissipate. His limbs crack and break, the winter wind carrying away the dust of The Reaper's corpse. The snow seems to halt in the air, the artificial storm that had ravaged the island for so long slowing to a halt as it's master passed. Utterly defeated, the party only watched in bitter victory as their adversary's body was decaying, and his mind and soul cast to oblivion. The Regret had finally found the death he had longed so long for. Masson gazes over the top of the observation deck. "Look." The tundra was littered with oculoids, their glowing eyes showing the movement of the malovelent marauders. The black swarm's movement spasms, then stops... The lights from their eyes flicker as their master passes, the mind that had dominated their own and controlled their actions quickly crumbling into nothing. Much like their master, the oculoids began to fall to pieces. Left braindead after the death of their master, their inky bodies come undone, plummeting from the sky and becoming nothing more than lifeless black splats on the floor. The Regret was dead, The Lifespark was one, and the Oculoids, bound to both, were forced to follow suit and perish with their master and origin. The Regret's other creations fall victim to the same fate. The rampaging Monolith Mk II's, The Regret's "perfect warmachines", reveal a fatal design flaw: their reliance on their maker. Their bodies fail and their minds wither, the steel giants collapsing in the snow, the hunters they were pursuing dispersing to enjoy their luck somewhere warmer. The Ameobosses that had trapped everyone on the island, made into even mightier leviathans by The Regret's consumption of the Lifespark, become braindead. They give one last pitiful moan as their consciousness dwindles to nothing. The crews of the ships being assaulted by the beasts whoop and cheer as they are slain, sinking into the bottom of the cold sea. One by one, each of The Regret's legions were reduced to nothing. "To think... We just watched *wheeze* three thousand years of insanity just... Fall apart." Alice looks at the blotch that was once Seerus, the Mastermind still gripping onto consciousness during the fight's finale. The destruction of The Regret was simply too much for the tenacious devil, and he too expires, reduced to nothing more than grimy sludge. "At least... At least she's avenged now. If he died because of The Regret's passing, the rest of the Oculoids definitely will." "Heroes... Thank you. He died long ago, but it seems like you were the ones to finally put my father's corpse to rest." "And put an end to my sin." "It's a, uh... pleasure, to put things to an end alongside you all. Really, truly." "Daranza The First and myself will warp you back to the village near the Citadel when you are done here. From there, assuming your ship is fine, you may return home. But first..." "There's a spirit here that wishes to communicate." Quote
