Heroica RPG - Quest #105: Eternal Reaper

[Endgame]

QM Note: Alright then! Start getting those actions/a BO in.

Masson smiles warmly beneath his hood.

"Karie, that wedding was the best night of my life. Trust me, I know that you love me. Je t'aime aussi."

[Kintobor]

Karie smiles back briefly before getting her head back into the fight.

OOC: If the Left arm is still alive

Jeaux opens the small compartment on his briefcase and whispers inside, Turdwing, I could use your assistance.

"Sure thing Big Pooper! I'm happy to get out of there anyway, bunch of no good shitty Heroes are destroying all my walking buffets."

Jeaux wasn't sure what walking buffets there were in his briefcase, but the speech pattern of this fly often confused him. He points a hand at the monster's left arm. "See what you can do about that."

Turdwing flies up the left arm to distract and poison it

OOC: Otherwise

Jeaux casts yet another lightning bolt at the Right Claw

Meanwhile... Masson attacks the Left Claw, Punii attacks the Right Claw, and Erdathcath attacks both Claws again

Battle Order

>Em VS Right Claw (back)

>Boomingham

[Endgame]

QM Note: Joeshmoe, what does Turdwing do?

Also: I misrembered Baaffy's ability. it puts a random enemy Fast Asleep. I won't penalize you for my own slip-up, but I will be running it properly from this point on.

"Uhhh... Where has that sheep been for the *wheeze* past 3 weeks?"

[Bricksandparts]

"Not quite the best time for this!" Johon yells at the couple, jumping and vaulting over another attack as the arm swings at him.

Left Claw BR Muckracker

Right Claw BR Muckracker

"...Sorry, I'm still in newlywed mode, I think."

[Emjajoas]

"Hell of a honeymoon," Em remarks, trying to maintain his balance throughout the monster's attacks.

[Kintobor]

Karie grins giddily.

"What my husband said, but still, we have this... thing to defeat."

[joeshmoe554]

QM Note: Joeshmoe, what does Turdwing do?

OOC: Experienced Turdwing (Deals the confused and poisoned by 1 effects on an opponent when used, fly familiar)

[Endgame]

"Hell of a honeymoon," Em remarks, trying to maintain his balance throughout the monster's attacks.

"You're quite ri-"

Masson dodges out of the way of one of the Ameoboss's slashing claws, his back to the mast.

"...Agh. I was thinking going to the beach, originally. That plan fell through."

"I took you as a *wheeze* stoic, Masson, not the lovey-dovey type..." Punii remarks, slightly exasperated by the battle at hand.

Edited August 7, 2014 by Endgame

[Bricksandparts]

OoC: Masson should be later in the BO in case an AOE wakes the head. If it wakes, Masson should attack it from the back row, just to prevent any fatal free-hits.

[Emjajoas]

"Plenty of water here if you want to go for a swim," Em remarks to Masson, ducking under a swipe. He squints, jaw clenching. "Damn monster," he mutters, glaring at the Ameoboss' many eyes.

[joeshmoe554]

OOC: I placed Em at the front of the battle order so in the worst case scenario, none of the 3 free hits will be fatal. I could have Masson cover it though with a conditional.

If Ameoboss is awake, Masson attacks Ameoboss from the back row, otherwise he attacks the Left Claw from the back row

Battle Order

[The_Customizer]

OOC: Jeaux is covering this last Battle order, I'll take back over once this round is finished.

[Endgame]

QM Note: Could anyone specify an action for Boomingham? I believe he said he was away today, too.

Edited August 7, 2014 by Endgame

[Zepher]

Boomingham dusts himself off as he gets up. "Thanks," he says to Erdy with a wink. "Let's finish this bad boy." Boomingham attacks the left claw from the back row.

[Endgame]

>Erdathcath VS Left Claw (back): Damage Aim (22x2=44 damage)

>Poison kills Left Claw, Left Arm, and Right Arm

The battle continues. The Ameoboss recieves another arrow to the eye, courtesy of Em. His rage continues to mount as he wakes from his slumber, his claws thrashing through the deck and heginning to tear the boat to pieces. He begins to ram into the boat haphazardly, causing it to rock back and forth, the heroes struggling to keep balance. The heroes maintain their footing, and proceed to whittle down the rest of the Ameoboss. Poison claims his two arms, the water dribbling off and snapping. The claws become shattered, icy stumps. The Ameoboss, in a last ditch effort, digs his claws into the Excelsus and attempts to tip it... Only to fall asleep due to Baaffy.

"We've almost *wheeze* got him!"

"AAAAaaaaarrrgggghhhhZZZzzZZzzzz..."

Gladius BR

or

if I take damage my first turn, my action will be after Erdathcath's. If I have still not been healed, I use a grand potion. If I do get healed: Gladius BR

"Let me weaken it first, then we can all deal some heavy damage!"

OoC: The_Customizer I recommend these as the first 3 in the order. This way it will be weakened the full round, and possibly fragile for the rest of the round.

[Zepher]

"I say we just sail on with one other passenger. He doesn't seem all that bad now that he's asleep. What do you think, Karie? He's changed his ways, hasn't he? No longer fighting us at all, so we ought to forgive him." Boomingham laughs and heals himself.

[Endgame]

". . ." Masson looks at Boomingham for a moment before switching the subject to something hopefully less ornery.

"...You look like you took a pretty nasty hit back there - are you alright?" The words are by no means malicious, by they come out awkwardly, as if the Paragon was having difficulty choosing words.

[joeshmoe554]

OOC: If the Ameoboss is still asleep

Jeaux decides to try out the ruby Karie had lent him. He clutches the crystal in his hand and visualizes the heat and volatility of fire. A ball of flame erupts in his palm and as he shifts his focus to the enemy, He launches the fire spell at the Ameoboss from the back row, watching it arc through the air towards his foe.

OOC: If the Ameoboss is awake

Jeaux points at the Ameoboss's form again directing his insect companion to distract him. Turdwing flies a loop around it, while Jeaux watches from the back row

OOC: New summon order (Pyro Armor, Lightning Armor, Paladin Armor, Demon Armor)

[Emjajoas]

"Punii, are you alright?" Em asks, concerned. Angrily, Em fires another arrow from his Aquabow at the Ameoboss from the back row. "Beasts like you deserve nothing so peaceful as eternal slumber," he growls.

[Endgame]

"Bleeding..." Punii rasps. 'I've never *wheeze* had such a large wound... But... I'll be Okay..."

[Emjajoas]

Em clicks his teeth, biting his lower lip. "Bastard," he mutters. His voice is low. Threatening. The party'd never seen Em so... violent. "As soon as he's a stain on the deck, I'll tend to your wounds."

[Endgame]

"No, no, really, I'm *cough* fine... Really. I'll get wounded worse than this down the *wheeze* line..."
