Sandy Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 Heckz wakes up and goes to the Souk. It was midnight before Heckz made it to Souk, and all the shops were closed. There was a shady figure in a skull mask skulking around, but he had not spotted Heckz yet. What would he do?

And, holding the beads tightly in his hands - knuckles white - prayed, to what or whoever was listening. After a few minutes of kneeling there silently he slept Sarge woke up on the morning of their fifth day in Salmanda, feeling serene and blessed. The ache and pain that were his constant companions had eased, even if for a while, and he had rested better than in a long, long while.

Zepher Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 "Alright. Onwards and upwards. We go to the Lodestar in, unless we can find the Black Market. Let's go." Boomingham draws his blade and rushes to the Lodestar, praying to whoever that his plan hadn't failed terrifically and that the Black Scorpion was still alive. Surely the Black Market could only move as fast as the heroes.
Khorne Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 "Here we go", Eric said as he followed Boomingham's lead.
Pyrovisionary Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Jon gazed long into the abyss, and the abyss gazed back. He held out his hand as the figure receeded, and was brought back into this world with the jolt of salvation. His ailment was forgotten but regret formed an insurmountable pressure, as if trapped under an ocean. He had given her life, and now she would give him his soul, for he had fought monsters and doing so become monstrous. Who better than to destroy the monstrous than a monster; forgiveness would be earned in fire, and only in paying the price for paradise in the garden of the lord would he rest beside the ploughshare and put away the sword. He used the Demonic greatsword to prop himself up, and gave a small prayer of forgiveness and thanks, his were fingers red and nails dug into his palms. He left gleefully, almost laughing in the humid air and made his way to the temple of Danab
Cutcobra Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Even though he was hoping to find the horrendously greasy yet surprisingly good cook he instead found one of the horrendously outfitted idiots they escaped from earlier. He was all alone though, with no one to rescue him. Maybe breaking a knee or two would teach that a rat a lesson about fashion. Even if that didn't have anything to do with fashion. Heckz just needed another reason other than being jealous that they were close to beating him before. Heckz casts a Scroll of Inspiration and Poisoning on himself (Does not cast Poison if it doesn't actually poison his spells.). "Hey! Remember me?! Yeah, you've got something on your outdated clothes, I think it's death." Heckz blasts the skull man with a darkness spell.
Sandy Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 Heckz casts a Scroll of Inspiration and Poisoning on himself (Does not cast Poison if it doesn't actually poison his spells.). "Hey! Remember me?! Yeah, you've got something on your outdated clothes, I think it's death." Heckz blasts the skull man with a darkness spell. QM Note: Poisoning can't be applied to spells. As Heckz fumbled with the scrolls, losing 10 ether in the process, the skull-masked man fled towards the Port.

The Eubric Sisters waved at him, looking tired and somewhat hungover. "Alright. Onwards and upwards. We go to the Lodestar in, unless we can find the Black Market. Let's go." Boomingham draws his blade and rushes to the Lodestar, praying to whoever that his plan hadn't failed terrifically and that the Black Scorpion was still alive. Surely the Black Market could only move as fast as the heroes. When Boomingham's party made it to the Lodestar at the crack of dawn, they saw the owner running out of the front door. Sounds of a scuffle emerged from inside. "Come on! Izzat all yoush got?!" Ashanti was standing at the balcony, overlooking her underlings trying to take out the knight. At first she smiled when she saw the red armor that Boomingham was wearing, but she quickly recognized his companions. "Brace yourselves, we got company. Are you turning your coat on us as well, Crimson Bear?" "AHH! It's been too long since our last toussle! Just remember our initiative, blokes." What would the heroes do?

Zepher Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 OoC: Just a reminder, Sandy. Boomingham chugs a nostrum and a mead, to steady his nerves. "Take as many of them alive as possible," says Boomingham, forgoing any preparation.
Khorne Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Periwinkle nodded eagerly. "Yup, Ulrica was the bitch's name. Sounds awfully lot like the werewolf upriser we have back in Eubric, don't you think? Anyway, I really should return to report back to Revered Aunt Ovelia, but I don't want to get kidnapped again, so I'll just stick around with you guys." The Raider shrugged and passively dismissed Peri's claim about the similarity in names. "Ulric, Ulrica. It's actually a rather common name. Nothing to worry about." "Let's get this over with", Eric said as he unsheathed Conspirator. He then glanced at the Scorpion Knight and rolled his eyes. "And in the gods' names, lose the pink sash already."
Cutcobra Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Heckz starts chasing the skull man to the Port. It was still the perfect time of the day to make an example of unstylish people who almost made a fool of him.
Pyrovisionary Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Sarge strutted up to the priestesses and rolled his shoulders. The girl would have to wait until he got his magic compass back, god knows what Eric and Boomingham were up to. "Any news on that venom ladies?" he queried, and raised an eyebrow with a smirk.
Sandy Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 QM Note: I will start the battle tomorrow, because I should gain access to my Word-files then. "Any news on that venom ladies?" he queried, and raised an eyebrow with a smirk. Revered Aunt Verdra was there to answer Sarge's question. "Yes. It is indeed a rare venom used by the Venomari poisoners, but not one extracted from a Golden Scorpion. Please, I fear the Venomari are trying to intervene our Conclave, so watch out for any signs of them. If they spoiled the fountain, they must be hiding somewhere in Kalakita Bog, if they have not entered the city already."
Pyrovisionary Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Sarge nods unhappily. He would have to wait for the others to rejoin him before he could take action. Ooc: I'm afraid to say that I shall be away until Sunday afternoon hiking, and will have no internet unless the event is cancelled. Hopefully I won't miss too much!
Sandy Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 Just as the heroes at the Lodestar Inn prepared to face the assassins, the skull-masked black market dealer burst into the room. "Boss, the foreigners are... Crap!" "Just deal with them! I'll get the Scorpion!" Like a black panther Ashanti leaped down from the balcony and sunk her dagger into the knight's neck. "You cheap megablock!" The knight roared before slumping to the ground. Heckz arrived to the Inn at that moment, getting caught in the ensuing battle. PREPARE FOR BATTLE! HEROES HAVE THE INITIATIVE!

Khorne Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Eric surveyed his opponents with an icy gaze. He took out a Nostrum, one of the last few he had and drank it. Calling Peri over his shoulder, he queried the woman: "Peri, are you able to heal the Scorpion, before the bastard bleeds to death?" Initiative round: Eric uses Nostrum. First round: Eric attacks Black Market Dealer and Ashanti, both from the front row and using Conspirator.
Zepher Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Boomingham checks to see if the Scorpion Knight is still alive, and if he is capable of being revived Rex uses his initiative and phoenix essence to raise the man. Boomingham wheels on Ashanti. "Just so you know, even if you make it out of this alive, the jig is up. Your brother has been caught red-handed. You'll have no more favors from him." Boomingham attacks her from the front row with Scupperer. Rex squares off against the Guerrilla, also from the front row.

Cutcobra Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Heckz uses a Demeter Bomb for The initiative, then he casts a darkness spell at Black Market Dealer from the back row.
Sandy Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 QM Note: You forgot to post the turn order, Khorne, so I'll just have you act in the order you posted in. Eric surveyed his opponents with an icy gaze. He took out a Nostrum, one of the last few he had and drank it. Calling Peri over his shoulder, he queried the woman: "Peri, are you able to heal the Scorpion, before the bastard bleeds to death?" "Sure thing, but I won't be able to participate in the battle if I'm on nursing duty." Boomingham checks to see if the Scorpion Knight is still alive, and if he is capable of being revived Rex uses his initiative and phoenix essence to raise the man. Being a veteran of the battle fields, Boomingham could discern in one glance that the knight was still alive - mostly because he was still throwing curses at Ashanti. "Just so you know, even if you make it out of this alive, the jig is up. Your brother has been caught red-handed. You'll have no more favors from him." "It's not over til it's over, old man. As always, I just have to make sure to leave no witnesses."

Barty returns to protect the heroes, while the guerrilla sets up a sentinel to block damage for the enemies. The dealer tries to bargain for his life with Heckz, while the assassin shoots the already injured Eric. Will Heckz agree to the dealer's bargain or not? All four enemies remain, all of them impervious to damage for the next round. Enemies: Black Market Dealer Type: Humanoid Level: 41 Health: 133/233 Special: Bargain – The trader will offer 50 gold to the target if they allow him to flee.

Zepher Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 OoC: Sentinel shouldn't protect against effects, right? "Save his life, Peri. We can deal with these idiots easy enough without you. And even if we couldn't... it's a life. Hardly a discussion."
Khorne Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Whoops, sorry! Totally forgot I was supposed to post the battle order Eric grabbed the side of his chest and grunted. He was hit rather hard and blood was smeared all over him. Despite that, he managed to put on another wicked grin and in a tone dripping with sarcasm, he said: "well, that didn't go quite as planned. Did it?" The Nord turned his attention to Peri and motioned her to look after the Scorpion Knight. "Be a doll and work your magic on the black guy", Eric winked and raised his thumb at the Sister and joked: "I'm doing just fine by myself". "Right, Lawrence, would you kindly bestow that healing power of yours upon me?" Eric then does nothing this round, since it would be kind of pointless (I guess) Battle Order: Boomingham Eric Eric Rex Heckz
Cutcobra Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) "Wanna escape again? Ha! Now, stand still while you painfully die! And remember to not get any of your out-of-trend blood on my shoes." Heckz keeps trying to blast the Dealer away into tiny pieces of magical darkness from the back row. Edited September 29, 2015 by Cutcobra
Sandy Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 OoC: Sentinel shouldn't protect against effects, right? QM Note: Does it say anything about effects in the description? So no, Sentinel does not protect from effects.
Zepher Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 OoC: Better safe than sorry. Rex uses his Smelling Salts on Boomingham while the latter heals Eric from the back row twice. If he's successful the first time, he attacks Ashanti.
Sandy Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 "Save his life, Peri. We can deal with these idiots easy enough without you. And even if we couldn't... it's a life. Hardly a discussion."
