Heroica RPG - Quest#148: Once Upon a Time in Goetia

[JimBee]

Hybros attacks Samigina with Iustitia and Marbas with Zoot's Reaper. If defeated, he switches to Buer and Dantalion with the same weapons.

[Sandy]

I'm sorry for asking this, but did any cursing/blessing happen on that Shield?

QM Note: I totally forgot, but rolling now only resulted in one curse.

I sadly won't be able to roll the results today - last round took me over an hour, and I have a busy evening ahead of me - but I'll try to find time tomorrow.

Pretzel: blessed (+7 health)
Briamarte: transcended (+1 ether)
Andromalius: blessed (+55 health)
Marbas: poisoned by 7 & cursed (-7 health, -59 max health)

The round starts by Andromalius copying Monk Pretzel's strengths. Despite Atramor and Hybros slaying demons left and right, the enemies seem to be rising to a new onslaught before Byblos makes it all void by casting almost all his scrolls at once. It leaves the librarian devoid of ether, though. Five more debilitated demons remain.

[CMP]

Atramor drops all his stolen loot into the pile formed at the demons' feet. He is very careful in stowing the Mythril Claws - one slip and he does not doubt he would lose at least a few fingers.

"Don't worry 'bout it." He tilted his hat toward Aunt Briamarte. "This whole demon killin' thing is, uh...our thing."

[Sandy]

"Don't worry 'bout it." He tilted his hat toward Aunt Briamarte. "This whole demon killin' thing is, uh...our thing."

"As it is mine", said Catnip Everdream, who appeared from the shadows between two buildings. "Sorry, it took me so long to recover Sandalphon, this bowgun the demons took from me, that I didn't make it in time to help you."

Aunt Briamarte's eyes narrowed, and she raised her radiant staff.


"Watch out! That woman's possessed by a demon. That's why we left her into the dungeon to rot."


"Uh, we know about Catnip. She says she has it under control."


"For now", Catnip retorted, giving the priestess a warning glare. "But let's make haste. The rest of the demons are congregating in the feast hall, and Solomon's bound to be there as well."


"Wait a minute... Are you cooperating with that she-demon? I thought I would help you defeat the demons, but I want nothing to do with her. You turn your back to her just once and she will surely stab you."


"And I can just barely tolerate mercenaries, but I don't work well with stuck-up priestesses. I can find my own way of getting back to Solomon if you'd rather stick with the Good Fairy Godmother here."


"That kind of puts us in a spot", Byblos grimaced, glancing at the heroes. "Which of these two women do we want on our team: the healer or the demon huntress?"

What would the heroes choose?

[JimBee]

Hybros rubbed his forehead. "Can we all not work together? I believe a bigger threat lies ahead than either of you to each other." He looked between the two. "But given the choice, I would take Aunt Briamarte. Between Atramor and I we have plenty of strength to fight demons. Besides, it seems as though you have your own agenda in this matter, Catnip." He looked to Atramor and Namyrra for their input.

[CMP]

"Wait a minute... Are you cooperating with that she-demon? I thought I would help you defeat the demons, but I want nothing to do with her. You turn your back to her just once and she will surely stab you."

"No, she won't." Atramor shrugged. "I've worked with her before. I'm still here, ain't I?"

"Watch out! That woman's possessed by a demon. That's why we left her into the dungeon to rot."

"So you were in the dungeon with her. You do realize if she was bein' manipulated, she probably could've killed every single one of your citizens while ya'll were trapped in there." Atramor shook his head. "I think Catnip could help us out more in the long run."

"Besides, it seems as though you have your own agenda in this matter, Catnip."

"Well, yeah. It's to kill Solomon. Were we plannin' on doin' anythin' different?"

[JimBee]

"Well, yeah. It's to kill Solomon. Were we plannin' on doin' anythin' different?"

"Who knows? Did you not say she caused you trouble by running and doing her own mission in Azzurat? Besides, she has been doing fine on her own so far, if she wants to kill Solomon she can do it with or without us."

[Palathadric]

"Perhaps she can walk in front of us so we don't need to have our backs to her."

Pretzel: Tyrant's Maul, Plague Bomb, Bloody Skull Helmet, Glacial Mace

Althior equips the Warlord's Helmet, healing himself with the Boon Rod. "Pretzel, your gold, if you'd be so kind?"

Althior ponders his options. "I can handle the healing if we need it. Extra firepower never hurts. I vote we take Catnip. If she tries to cross us, we'll soon make her regret it."

Edited August 18, 2016 by K-Nut

[Palathadric]

I hand the gold I had found over to Althior's safekeeping, before gleaming as I whirl the giant hammer around.

"This will do some damage!"

Edited August 19, 2016 by Palathadric

[Quarryman]

"If Catnip can promise to be more of a team player this time I'd be fine with taking her along, last time she endangered us all by insisting on doing her own thing."

[Palathadric]

"I have to say that I don't much care for the demoness's attitude, but I will rely on the wisdom of the party. If, however, those who have worked with her before don't care to do so again..."
