Heroica RPG - Quest #46: Product Testing

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"Xander, I don't want to take the chance and get KO'd this battle, so could you use a Grand Potion on me while I repeat my action?"

"Maybe I should heal you. Don't waste a grand potion, I can heal you for 1 ether."

If Althior agrees, he heals him, if not, he attacks Inky again.

[K-Nut]

"Maybe I should heal you. Don't waste a grand potion, I can heal you for 1 ether."

If Althior agrees, he heals him, if not, he attacks Inky again.

"I have a better idea. I'll set up a decoy this round while you two go after Inky. Even if my healing fails, there's no chance that I'll be KO'd." Althior sets up a Decoy and Heals himself.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"I have a better idea. I'll set up a decoy this round while you two go after Inky. Even if my healing fails, there's no chance that I'll be KO'd." Althior sets up a Decoy and Heals himself.

Alexandre attacks Inky, back row of course.

[posades]

"Do you think we should save the decoy for later rounds in case we face more than three enemies? It is your decision, but if that is what you want to do then I will attack Inky from the back row."

Round Six of Spin n' Shambler Showdown

>Althior sets up skeleton decoy

>Althior heals himself: Heal Less (19 health restored to self, -1 ether)

>Xander VS Ink Shambler (back): Shield: Marking the Favored (29-8=21 damage/2=10 damage) Xander, would you like to mark the Ink Shambler?

>Alex VS Ink Shambler (back): Hit (8+15=23/2=11)

Althior assembles the skeleton decoy, piecing together the various bones to create a humanoid skeleton. he proceeds to heal himself, restoring 19 HP to himself. Xander, without the lavender pill's side effects clouding his mind, now has the choice to mark the Ink Shambler. Alexandre sinks his blade into the Shamblers torso, seemingly not htting anything vital. The Spin Djinn certainly isn't the sharpest knife in the draw: he eagerly uses his free hit to attack the decoy.

The battle rages on...

With the effects of the pill gone, Xander was able to locate the weakness of his target, marking demon type monsters. He then refocused on the Djinn, attacking it from the back row.

QM Note: Althior, I didn't realize a Sage's miss restores them ether, so I'm giving you two ether back this round instead of 1 to compensate for your other "miss".

Round Six of Spin n' Shambler Showdown

>Althior VS Spin Djinn (back): Hit (19+10+10=39x2=78-15=63 damage)

>Althior VS Spin Djinn (back): Meditate (Restores 1 ether)

>Xander VS Spin Djinn (back): Damage

>Alex VS Ink Shambler (front): Damage

Althior lets a wind spell loose, the spiraling ball of energy crashing into the Wind Djinn's torso, sending him staggering backwards. Althior then meditates to restore any ether he expended while casting the spell. It seems Xander's fortune had run out with the pill effects, as the Spin Djinn zooms over and shanks him in the shoulder. Alexandre, who seems to have a personal vendetta against "inky", dashes towards the shambling doomsayer. He is swatted away by his inky, whip-like arms, landing on his rear. His shield absorbed most of the blow, but some ink still managed to seep through and sting him.

The battle rages on! The ink Shambler still stands proudly, while the Spin Djinn is beginning to pant...

"dAmned sHield."

>Xander VS Spin Djinn (back): Miss Hit: 14 damage

>Alex VS Ink Shambler (front): Critical Hit: (8x2=16+15=31 damage)

Althior meditates on the battle at hand. Deep in thought (for once, as Finnegan might say ) he releases a Magic Vortex. Xander draws an arrow and releases it, the arrow getting wedged in a crevice in the Spin Djinn's armor. Alex dodges the Shambler's tentacles, and cuts off the tip of one with his SP-slicing sword.

"mY aRM...?!?"

QM Note: Nice catch, fixed.

By the way, i would autoplay this battle, but Althior has a fever and Xander may or may not want to target the marked Shambler, so, yeah. If you want me to start auto-playing, give me the heads-up.

[posades]

OOC: I'd be fine autoplaying until something crazy happens.

Xander decides to switch his focus to Inky, attacking from the back row and hoping for a quick resolution to the battle. "If anything happens to me Althior, I trust you can remedy the situation."

Round Eight of Spin n' Shambler Showdown

>Xander VS Ink Shambler (back): Miss[/i] Hit (29x3=87-8=79 damage!)

>Alex VS Ink Shambler (front): Special Damage (Death Note!)

Cocky over his last magic vortex, he attempts to summon it again, only for the Djinn to shank him midspell. He sits down for some meditation, restoring 1 ether. Xander pulls an arrow back... and fires! His precision triples the amount of pain given to the Shambler. As the inky beast moans and groans over the arrow poking out of it's chest, it notices Alexandre laughing over his crippled arm. With a devilish cackle, it writes (with some difficulty) an ancient incantation on the floor. As he draws, it begins to hum and moan. When he is finished, the sound of vitriol can be heard emitting from the Death Note.
