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

[Zepher]

"I'm better up than down, know what I'm saying?"

[Asphalt]

Not for the first time Vindsval wonders if he and Bobby actually speak the same language.

"Bobby, Miderun is easier to understand at time than you and she truly speaks a foreign tongue. I know not what it is you are trying to say? Do you jest or riddle?

[Zepher]

Bobby snorts and giggles. "Yo, if he whacks me over the head, then I'll be flat out on the ground, and that won't be a help to anyone. Gucci?"

[Asphalt]

"Then perhaps you should try to be the one doing the whacking."

Vindsval shakes his head, is Bobby's speech becoming clearer or is he going mad?

"If you cannot strike out our foe with your whip, maybe then try lashing them with your tongue. Perhaps in their confusion they will attack one another of flee in terror of the madman whom we kept caged within our carriage until they were foolish enough to waylay us."

[Zepher]

"I try to not get too chummy with the bad guys, dude. It bums me out when they kick it eventually."

[Kintobor]

"Um... what's a "gocci"? Is this one of those made up words, Bobby?" Annienal asked worrying. Perhaps she'd need to sit the rogue down and figure out his strange language.

Annienal continues to target Highwayman A from the front.

[Asphalt]

"As Miderun and Warlen have only recently ceased bleeding upon the sands let us make that sooner than later."

"Annienal you will hear much from young Master Bobby which will test your definitions of language."

[Zepher]

"Gotta expand your mind, yo. Language is fluid, just like the universe, dig?"

[Asphalt]

"A river flows swiftly or slowly or not at all in the depths of coldest winter, yet it is contained within its banks or it is a river no longer."

[Zepher]

"Yeah bro, I dig that. I'm still making sounds with my mouth and my bros know what I'm getting at, so that's still language, know what I mean?" Bobby blushes suddenly, remembering that they are in the middle of a battle. "Yo, Vind, we'll sit and chat in a bit, yo! First I gotta shape up and actually land a hit on a dude."

[Asphalt]

"I will not lie and say that would not be most helpful my friend."

[Lind Whisperer]

Round Three of Highway Holdup

Miderun vs. Hanson - (Verkenner) - Front Row - Shield - Frenzy - (11+13= 24 damage to all enemies, Hanson Infected, all enemies Enamored to Miderun)

Annienal vs. Supporting Highwayman A - (Ammit) - Front Row - Hit - (6+11 = 17 damage)

Warlen vs. Hanson - Back Row - (Nightmare) - Shield - Magic Burst - Ice - (12.5+6= 18.5 = 18 damage to all enemies, , Warlen -1 ether)

Bobby vs. Supporting Highwayman B - Front Row - Critical Hit - (10x2+7= 27 damage, Highwayman B Enamored with Bobby)

Vindsval vs. Hanson - Back Row - Critical Hit - (10x2+15=35x2= 70 damage to Hanson, Hanson Poisoned by 2)

The fight continues to swing in the heroes favor. First, in her rage, Miderun severely slashes all enemies, causes them to fall in love with her, and infects Hanson, then Annie successfully cuts away at Highwayman A. Warlen chills the battlefield with Ice, while Bobby firmly lashes out at Highwayman B, causing him to also fall for him as well as Miderun. Vindsval finishes the round with a mighty smash at Hanson, successfully poisoning him.

"I just realized something. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen..."

Spells don't take weapon effects into account, so the enemies shouldn't be enamored with Warlen. And you also forgot to make them all enamored with Miderun.

QM Note: Fixed.

[CMP]

Also, I have no idea how you've calculated Vindval's damage. Critical Hit is two times weapon power added to their level. 10 x 2 + 15 = 35 damage. Back row doesn't matter because broomsticks are ranged weapons. 35 x 2 for darkness-elemental = 70 damage.

Miderun smirks as the enemy party is rendered useless, clubbing Hanson again from the front row.

QM Note: I assumed that Elemental was applied before the level was added. I didn't know that broomsticks were ranged. Fixed.

[The Chosen Minifigure]

Warlen sighs and repeats.

[Zepher]

Bobby kicks the dirt bashfully before repeating his attack.

[Asphalt]

"Much better Bobby. Let us finish this."

He turns to face Hanson

"You see that I spoke truly Son of Han."

Vindsval repeats his attack, lettering Verkenner fly at the lead horseman one more time from the back row.

Battle Order

1. Warlen

2. Bobby

3. Annienal

4. Miderun

5. Vindsval

OOC: yep magic flying ranged broomsticks. Not sure why all the clerics aren't fighting with them this season.

[Kintobor]

Annienal continues to target Highwayman A.

[Lind Whisperer]

Round Four of Highway Holdup

Warlen vs. Hanson - (Nightmare) - Back Row - Great Spell - Amythest - (2x6+12=24x2=48 damage, Warlen -1 ether)

Bobby vs. Supporting Highwayman B - Front Row - Hit - (7+10=17 damage)

Annienal vs. Supporting Highwayman A - (Ammit) - Front Row - Miss - (Nothing happens)

Miderun vs. Hanson - Front Row - (Oculoid Claw) - Miss - (Nothing happens)

Vindsval vs. Hanson - Back Row - Special Guard - (Fail, Vindsval bleeding out -5)

Hanson - Infected - -5 health

Hanson - Poisoned by 2 - -2 health

The round first starts out in the heroes' favor, with Warlen casting a Great Spell, and Bobby punching his opponent, but it then takes a nasty turn as Annie and Miderun both miss, and Hanson brutally stabs Vindsval in the stomach. The round ends on a slightly more cheerful note - at least for the heroes' perspective - as Hanson, as he is both Infected and Poisoned, begins to draw his last breaths.

"Who...gork...who is that? Who is that man, standing...gork...behind you, all dressed in black...Who is he, that beckons to me...?"
