Heroica RPG - Quest#33: WANTED! Violetta the Cat Burglar

[K-Nut]

"Big mistake, boys," Althior fires Darkness at Daffyd from the back row. "Alexis, you have two turns, remember?"

[Flare]

Partly coughing from the dust and partly laughing from the ridiculous break-in, Benji stays out of the battle and protects the jewel. The only way Violetta would be able to get this jewel would be if she killed him.

[Masked Builder]

"Oh yes quite right. Two ice spells at the rabbit from the back row!"

At the start of the battle Daffyd attempts to perform effective thievery to Althior, but the sage does not have any effects to steal. Alexis's ice-elemental spell hits Sidekick spot on, causing 78 damage to the bestial enemy. She follows it with a well-aimed spell that causes 20 more damage.

Partly coughing from the dust and partly laughing from the ridiculous break-in, Benji stays out of the battle and protects the jewel. The only way Violetta would be able to get this jewel would be if she killed him.

Benji stood on the sidelines as his two companions took on the eccentric duo of bunnies. Suddenly, he saw a shadow on the corner of his eye. At the gaping hole on the wall stood a new figure, dressed in a cat hood.

"Oh, the valiant heroes have learned from their past mistake", Violetta said to Benji with an almost purring voice. "Hmm, I bet you're thinking of stopping me from taking that gem? Well, my kittens beg to differ."

Benji saw two tiny cats leap inside the room. The other was pitch black, the other pure white.

"Salt, Pepper, keep the gentleman busy while mommy gets the job done."

The two kittens started to hiss and creep towards Benji. In a blink of an eye Violetta jumped inside the room, ripped the entire pedestal holding the Zirconia off the floor and flung it over her shoulder. It was unbelievable how such a slim body could have such strength.

"The silly wizards forgot to make the pedestal itself unbreakable as well", Violetta mused. She then blew a kiss to the two kittens. "Have fun, my darlings!"

Before Benji could stop Violetta from leaping out, the two kittens were at his throat. And they were no normal pussycats...

"Again!"

[Flare]

"Oh darn! Not kittens... why did it have to be kittens!?"

Tears start to well up in Benji's eyes, as he starts to drift into a trance, staring at the two deadly cats. He suddenly snaps out of it, gives a grunt, and loads his crossbow.

"Prepare to leave this world, my feline foes!"

I attack Salt from the back row with Crossbow of the Pongcanis with darkness.

"Alrighty, Benji you take care of those cats, we'll tackle these two.

"Gosh, I can't take down two kitties at the same time! How powerful do you think I am?!?"

Results of Round Three of the Bunnies & Kittens Battle:

>Benji (Crossbow) vs. Daffyd - Special Damage (Effective Thievery)

>Alexis (Ice) vs. Pepper - Shield (Summon Ocven)

>Althior (Darkness) vs. Daffyd - Spell

>Alexis (Ice) vs. Salt - Spell Aim

Daffyd performs effective thievery to Benji, gaining his aura-status for the next turn. The bunny burglar's current health is doubled and he will absorb all attacks aimed at the enemies on the next round. Alexis sees it best to summon Ocven the Ice Dragon to get an upper hand on the enemies. Althior's spell of darkness hits Daffyd for 52 damage. Alexis carefully aims her spell to deal 20 damage to Salt.

Three enemies still stand.

>Alexis vs. Salt - Aim

Ocven vs. Pepper

Benji hits Daffyd with his newly-acquired wave sword for 27 damage, also inflicting him with the cursed-effect that takes 3 of maximum health per turn. Daffyd damages Althior for 8 points of health. Alexis aims her arrow at Salt but Daffyd absorbs the hit. The bunny burglar also takes Ocven's icy attack and Alexis' second aimed hit, for a total of 39 damage. Then his aura-effect fades, and the cursed-effect does it's nasty work, dropping Daffyd's current and total health to 378.

Question: If I use my Wave Sword again, and he gets the cursed effect again, does that mean he'll lose 6 points per turn or will he continue to just lose 3? E.g. can the cursed effect be multiplied?

Either way, Benji will attack Daffyd from the back row with the crossbow using darkness.

QM Note: No, none of the health-decreasing effects stack. You can't poison an enemy twice in a row and think it will then lose 2 points per turn, either.

Also, you can't choose which elements on a weapon you use. Your crossbow will always deal damage of both darkness- and ice-elements.

Ocven vs. Pepper

Benji aims his crossbow at Daffyd, inflicting 20 damage due to the weapons dark properties. Daffyd tries effective thievery on Althior, but he has no effects. Alexis aims at Salt, dealing 10 damage. Ocven then attacks Pepper again, this time hitting the kitten for 38 damage. In her second try Alexis gets a proper hit on Salt, dealing 29 damage. Daffyd's curse takes another 3 points off of his full health.
