Heroica RPG - Quest #131: The Kind of Law They'd Understand

CMP · April 27, 2015

Miderun curses something orcish under her breath as Sean Cole steps forward to stab her in the side, and being hit with a toxic throwing knife did nothing to help matters.

"Remedy woud be nice, I can't see a single thing! Can you give me a hand here, Vind?"

Regardless, she repeated her attack.

Kintobor · April 27, 2015

"Miderun, I'll take Cole. Keep me at the front of the battle order, Vind. I'll... I'll deal with him while you tend to Miderun. Just make sure the Healer's targeted!" Annienal shouts, sounding somewhat confident in herself.

Annienal changes focus to Sean Cole, attacking him from the front.

Wait, Locustoid Healer doesn't even have a Special. Was If it Tastes Bitter supposed to be his regular Special rather than a Passive at some point?

Wait, Locustoid Healer doesn't even have a Special. Was If it Tastes Bitter supposed to be his regular Special rather than a Passive at some point?

QM Note: No, it's that I forgot to make a special for the Healer. :blush:

I realized it after I'd uploaded the battle, but I decided that it would just be better to "play the dice as they lay".

"Miderun, I'll take Cole. Keep me at the front of the battle order, Vind. I'll... I'll deal with him while you tend to Miderun. Just make sure the Healer's targeted!" Annienal shouts, sounding somewhat confident in herself.

"What??" snapped Miderun, wildly swinging her club where she last saw the Lucustoid Healer from the front row. "Am I hitting him?? Guh, I hate being blind. You better be dead next I see you, you zorm, zard vahls nazarmelda dal a kanvy, or that knife is going end up so far through your head I could use its hilt to pull that scrawny neck right off your shoulders!"

Asphalt · April 27, 2015

Vindsval steps back from the flailing woman so as not to be struck accidentally.

"Calm yourself Miderun, allow the Remedy to take effect. That which can be seen can be more easily destroyed."

Lind Whisperer · April 28, 2015

Round Two of

:

Annienal vs. Sean Cole - (Bonaparte Cutlass) - Front Row - Special Damage - (Annienal Bleeding, QM Facepalming )

Vindsval uses Remedy on Miderun - Back Row - (All Negative Effects Removed)

Miderun vs. Lucustoid Healer - (Oculoid Claw) - Front Row - Miss - (Nothing Happens)

Bobby vs. Cow-Orc - (Hue and Saturation Whip) - Front Row - Critical Hit - (10x2+10= 30 damage to Cow-Orc, Cow-Orc Enamored with Bobby)

Warlen vs. Lucustoid Healer - Cast of Sleep - (Rolling Sleep, Sleep Cast Successful, Lucustoid Healer Asleep, Warlen -1 ether.)

Free Hits:

Lucustoid Warrior vs. Annie: - You look about My Size - Level matches Hero - (12/2 = 6, 10-6 = 4, Annie -0 damage.)

Patrick Fletchings vs. Vindsval: - You look about My Size - Level matches Hero - (19/2 = 9, 9-3 = 6 damage, Vindsval -6 health.)

Annienal Bleeding, Annienal -5 health

The second rounds starts off poorly, first with Annie being painfully stabbed by Sean Cole, and then Miderun being unable to land a hit on the Healer. Bobby brings the mood up by landing yet another hit on the Cow-Orc, and Warlen successfully casts Sleep on the Healer, but the mood goes back down again as Fletchings tosses a knife that painfully cuts Vindsval.

From the back row, Warlen casts a fire spell at The Locustoid Warrior.

"Hey, Mr locust! I've heard that if you fly too high then your wings'll get burnt! Why don't we skip the flying bit, huh?"

Bobby switches to his twin sai from the front row, continuing his attack and focusing it entirely on the Cow Orc. "Sorry about this, breh." He glances over his shoulder at the rest of the party. "How's everyone else rolling? Doing aight?"

Vindsval reaches up and pulls the small blade from his shoulder. "A foul strike manling, a foul strike indeed. Allow me to return in kind.

The Half-Giant picks up his Rock broom from where he had rested it while removing the blindness from his old friend Miderun.

"Fly true and strike hard Verkenner."

He hurtles the weapon at Patrick Fletchings from the back row.

Bobby switches to his twin sai from the front row, continuing his attack and focusing it entirely on the Cow Orc. "Sorry about this, breh." He glances over his shoulder at the rest of the party. "How's everyone else rolling? Doing aight?"

"The only rolling I care to see is my enemies head from their shoulders." Vindsval growls through gritted fanged teeth. His eyes flare red. It seems he might be having a hard time keeping his calm.

"No, I'm bleeding!" Annienal winces as she tries not to focus on it.

"Keep me first in the battle order, Vindsval! I can still soak up some of the damage from these guys should the healer wake up."

Annienal takes a potion from the back row.

Miderun repeats her swing, gritting her teeth in pain as her stab wound seemed to deepen.

"A potion isn't going to stop that bleeding, Annie."

Lind Whisperer · April 29, 2015

Round Three of

:

Annienal consumes Potion - Back Row - (Annienal +10 health, no longer Bleeding)

Warlen vs. Lucustoid Warrior - Fire Spell - Back Row - Special Damage/Shield - Magic Burst - (29x2 = 58 damage to all enemies: Sean Cole - 58 health, Lucustoid Healer -58x2(Fire)= -116 health, Lucustiod Healer Awake, Lucustiod Warrior, -58x2(Fire)= -116 health, Lucustoid Warrior KO'd, Cow-Orc -58 health, Patrick Fletchings -58 health, Warlen -5 ether)

Miderun vs. Lucustoid Healer - (Oculoid Claw) - Front Row - Special Damage - (Miderun Stunned.)

Vindsval vs. Patrick Fletchings - (Verkenner) - Back Row - Damage - (Knife ignores SP 3/2 = 1.5 damage, Vindsval -1 health)

Bobby vs. Cow-Orc - (Twin Sai) - Front Row - Hit - (10+10= 20 damage to Cow-Orc, Cow-Orc KO'd)

Annienal quickly swallows a healing potion, while Warlen prepares his spells. Although it comes at a high cost, the over-powered mage manages to cover the field in searing fire, badly burning his enemies, and taking out the the Lucustoid Warrior. Miderun attacks the Healer a second time, but recieves a wing to the face, stunning her for the next round. With a mighty roar, Vindsval attacks Fletchings, but Fletchings somehow avoids the mighty onsluaght, and yet again throws a knife, painfully stabbing Vindsval once more. Bobby ends the round with a well placed hit, taking out the Cow-Orc, leaving only three injured enemies left to be fought.
