Heroica RPG - Quest #42: The Meaning Of It All

Recommended Posts

Ok, well it seems the best idea would be to just run back to the beginning of this maze, and try going all left, if that doesn't get us anywhere, we can just leave through where we entered.

Let's see if there is more than one option for going back. If not, then I say we just try to go through as many doors as possible, since we are running out of time.

Pretzel walks out of the dead end, and looks back at from where they came from. Unfortunately there was only one way, the one that they came from. But there is the other doorway to the left.

The party takes the doorway to the left. Unlike most of the other doorways, this doorway leads into a long tunnel. They walk for four minutes until they finally arrive to another split in the tunnel. The air feels thick. It is different then the rest of the tunnels.

The question is... which way? (22 minutes remain)

The party goes straight, and discovers another interesting room.

Some makeshift weapons, three crates, a dead frog, and a bat that seems to uninterested in the party.

I use my magnifying glass on the bat.

"Good God, these demons look more evil than ever when seen through a magnifier!"

"What are we supposed to be looking for here anyway, frog essence or something gross like that. Anything a dead frog could give us?

The bat appears to be sleeping. It would be wise to not wake it up. The frog is long dead. Nothing useful unless you like to eat frog legs.

But there are a few interesting items inside of the crates.

In the first crate Erdy finds an apple core, an empty bag (labeled bird seed), and a stack of musty papers. Most of them seem to be illegible, although if enough time was spent then it might be possible to find something that was legible.

In the next crate she finds is empty.

When Erdy, she finds something magical. It is... a magical shovel! *oh2*

heroica-shovel.jpgMagic Shovel - (will always find something when used, limited to three uses per quest)

"Whoa... it looks like a normal shovel but it is infinitely awesomer... :wub_drool: But lets hurry up, there are only 18 minutes left till we'll be locked in here!"

"I would love to add another shovel to my collection...of one...should we use it to dig right away. :drool:

Otherwise, let's go back once and then go left again.

We'll save digging time for later, as for now, let's run back to the entrance to this cave, and go left, instead of straight.

Monk, you can hold the shovel for now.

"Why, thank you!"

"I would say that I think it would take too long to go all the way back to where we first entered and then take all lefts. We should just try to go through as many passages as we can, in my opinion. :sceptic:

The party goes back one room and takes the left path. As soon as the walk through the doorway a door slams down behind them. In front of them is another door, which looks just like the one they entered at the very beginning of the caves.

The door opens. "You found the exit, good job." said the voice. "Now prepare to fight my minions, weak heroes! You have no choice but to die at the hands of the demon-frogs. That is, if we had hands."

The only way is right into the middle of the froggy territory. What will the party do?

Hmm, maybe it would work to just throw a bomb or two out there before we go out, removing a good amount of their health before even having to attack them.

What do you guys think?

I use my magnifying glass on the pests outside to attempt to determine what their stats are like.

"Hey, Erdy. Why don't we throw dirt on them with our shovels and bury them? What will a snake a bunch of frogs be able to do against that?" :wink:

Pretzel attempts to use his magnifying glass on the frogs, but he ends up falling out of the doorway right in the middle of the frogs.

Ok, considering that me and Adam are the strongest of the three, here is the battle order:

Erdathcath drinks Smelling Salts

Adam attacks Demon Frog A (Front row obviously)

​Monk Pretzel (You should probably attack the other Demon frog, or one of the snakes)

Erdathcath attacks Demon Frog B (Back row, with Handcannon)

Does that sound good to you Monk?

As she continues to ponder the fight, Erdathcath realizes it would be best to yell for Eugene, and ask him to bring another Hero from the Hall. A hero who is strong, and smart in a difficult fight like this.

"I can absorb most of the free hits delivered against me, if I fight from the back row, but neither you nor Adam have any form of protection, so I'm not sure whether I should fight one of the weaker opponents, in an attempt to finish them off as quickly as possible, or if I should join you in fighting the stronger ones."

For now, I will attack Green Viper A from the front row, unless Erdathcath tells me otherwise.

Battle Round 1:

Erdy - smelling salts

Adam vs. Demon Frog A - Defended Counter

Monk Pretzel vs. Green Viper A - Critical Hit

>Erdy vs. Demon Frog B - Hit / Aim

Evil Frog A - free hit on Erdy - 4 damage

Evil Frog B - free hit on Adam - 9 damage

Green Viper B - free hit on Monk - 1 damage

Green Viper C - free hit on Erdy - 4 damage

Magic Red Viper - free hit on Erdy - 6 damage

Erdy takes some smelling salts, making her hastened. Adam then does a Defended Counter against Demon Frog A, receiving 16 damage but causes 9 damage in return to the devilish amphibian. Monk Pretzel then performs a critical hit on Green Viper A, striking the snake with 32 damage. Erdy then hits Demon Frog B causing 27 damage to the frog. Afterwards Erdy receives a total of 14 damage from free hits, Adam receives 9 damage, and Monk only 1.

"Should I heal Adam or attack again? You seem to be in excellent from since you acquired that satchel from Ricky, so it's not unlikely that some miracle will be performed, especially since you are also looking exceptionally fleet of foot, after sniffing at those smelling salts, but I guess it's up to you."

I will heal Adam from the back row. If Adam is already at full health when it gets to my turn, I will fight repeat my previous action.

If Erdathcath tells me to do otherwise, I will follow her instructions.

Ok, it seems it would be best for me to try attacking twice, and if I don't get a Shield (Roots of life) it would probably be best for you to heal Adam, who would then attack again.

Therefore the battle order is:

Erdathcath attacks Demon Frog A from Back Row

Erdathcath attacks Demon Frog B from Back Row

Monk heals Adam (If needed.) If not needed he repeats attack

Adam repeats attack.

What exactly is a defended counter?
