Heroica RPG - Quest #152: Wine and Di(n)e

[Alfadas]

Torald fiddles around in his pockets, and comes up with 256 gold. I have enough, but that is almost all my savings... But if no-one else wants to give you the money, I will.

[UsernameMDM]

She then coyly returns to her quest mates. "Listen up, gentlemen. The nice map seller is willing to part with a map of the sewers for 100 gold. Unfortunately We do not carry such amounts in Our person, so someone else ought to handle that business. We also discovered that the manhole by the farmer is nondescript, the manhole next to the orc is full of noise and bilgewater, and that there is something large hiding in the manhole near the map seller. The map should help us figure out which way to go, in any case."

"Why don't we just explore?"

[Alfadas]

"Why don't we just explore?"

Have you ever been in sewers? They are big, dark and smelly. O, and every corner looks the same, so it's very easy to get lost. I have no intention to spend weeks going in circles in the sewers.

[KotZ]

Hoke hands over his set of Heavy Armor from his inventory.

"Thank you very much, sir. I hope you put it to good use." Obsan takes the gold and armor and gives the masterpiece to Hoke.

[UsernameMDM]

Hoke removes his Warrior Treads and put on Sven's Heavy Armor.

Hoke unslings his back and opens it up on the ground.

"If there is anything in here anyone wants to borrow, feel free to take what you will."

Edited August 4, 2016 by UsernameMDM

[Cutcobra]

Heckz waves to the old man.

"Thank you, kind sir!"

Idiot.

She then coyly returns to her quest mates. "Listen up, gentlemen. The nice map seller is willing to part with a map of the sewers for 100 gold. Unfortunately We do not carry such amounts in Our person, so someone else ought to handle that business. We also discovered that the manhole by the farmer is nondescript, the manhole next to the orc is full of noise and bilgewater, and that there is something large hiding in the manhole near the map seller. The map should help us figure out which way to go, in any case."

"Hundred gold? Sorry, boo, but you're not worth that much."

He then pulls out his Magic Compass and thinks of the fight club.

[KotZ]

Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated. Been a long (but extrememly fun) day at work and all. I'll get the update up tomorrow and we can move along. Sorry for the delay.

[UsernameMDM]

Have you ever been in sewers? They are big, dark and smelly. O, and every corner looks the same, so it's very easy to get lost. I have no intention to spend weeks going in circles in the sewers.

"Yes, I have. Even got a couple souvenirs," Hoke says as he taps his Hydra Skin.

[KotZ]

So with Heckz leading the way, the Heroes go down into the sewers, specifically using the manhole by Obsan. It's, to put it lightly, filthy. The sewage water is waist deep and the sounds of cheering echoes throughout the sewers. Then, Heckz' compass directs them to turn right, smack into...

"Hey, you don't look like regulars. State your business."

[UsernameMDM]

"We're here to whip him into shape," Hoke says as he grabs Simon by shoulder and shoves him in front of the man.

[Cutcobra]

Heckz is on the verge of fainting.

He ignores the guard and turns to the other two heroes who weren't talking (Quintessa and Torald).

"Excuse you?! Do you know how much work it is to think about a place the whole time whilst stepping on shit? I except one of you to carry me right now!"

He patiently awaits for someone to lift him to their back while Hoke dealt with the guard.

[Alfadas]

Heckz is on the verge of fainting.

He ignores the guard and turns to the other two heroes who weren't talking (Quintessa and Torald).

"Excuse you?! Do you know how much work it is to think about a place the whole time whilst stepping on shit? I except one of you to carry me right now!"

He patiently awaits for someone to lift him to their back while Hoke dealt with the guard.

Torald rolls his eyes and sighes. Fine, Sir Nag-a-lot, climb on. Torald lifts Heckz on his back, hoping he'll finally stop complaining about everything.

[KotZ]

Waiting to see what Sandy says. Also, I'm on vacation for a week. I'm still active but the internet is slow, so updates may be slow or wonky.

[Sandy]

Quintessa stays in the background to observe the situation. She wasn't used to crawling around sewers, kneels deep in filth.

"Simon, here is your chance to show that you are a true man. Step up." Quintessa advices their employer.

[KotZ]

"We're here to whip him into shape," Hoke says as he grabs Simon by shoulder and shoves him in front of the man.

"Whip him into shape, huh?" the guard repeats. He looks up and down at Simon. "That seems to be a pretty tall order. And I'll let you know, this isn't a gymnasium or barracks. You want him whipped into shape? Take him to Heroica or something."

Quintessa stays in the background to observe the situation. She wasn't used to crawling around sewers, kneels deep in filth. "Simon, here is your chance to show that you are a true man. Step up." Quintessa advices their employer.

Simon glances at the Queen Mother and takes a hard swallow. "I'll have you know sir that these here are my bodyguards and they only look to see what's best for me."

"Bodyguards, huh?" he replies sarcastically. "Then just who are you?"

"Well, uh, I'm Simon. Simon the Shotmaster and I'm here to prove myself in the ring."

"Shotmaster? Well to let you know, this isn't some sort of archery tournament. We have only brawlers here. People that look like they could kill a dragon with a mere flex of their pinky fingers."

"Well, then I'd like to prove myself in brawling."

"Hmm, fine," the guard shoots back. "To gain entry to the club you have one task, and that's to bring Mr. Woodland a large monster head. So, go and find a large monster, bring the head back to me and I'll take you to Mr. Woodland."

[Alfadas]

Torald turns to Quintessa. Didn't you say there was something large in the manhole near the mapseller? Maybe the guard wants us to kill that thing?

[Sandy]

Torald turns to Quintessa. Didn't you say there was something large in the manhole near the mapseller? Maybe the guard wants us to kill that thing?

"That is correct. We should seek the beast out and slay it." Quintessa was not all too keen on the thought of having to wage a battle in the filth.

[UsernameMDM]

"Let's head out."

Hoke makes his way out and back to the manhole near the beast.

[Alfadas]

Torald follows Hoke, with Heckz still on his back.

[KotZ]

And once again the Heroes set off. They trudge (all except Heckz who is now being carried) back through the sewer water and climb back up through the manhole into the market. All three of the shopkeepers back away at the smell of the Heroes. Then the Heroes open up the manhole where Quintessa heard a large PLOP and then they descend back into the sewers. The sound of splashing water draws them in closer and finally they see...

"That thing doesn't look very friendly..."

"Ghrahdirahdi fhsikaleuf grahs," the thing roars in its untranslatable tongue.

OoC: You forgot to put up a type for the enemy.

Quintessa jolts as she first sees the monster, but then a familiar blind rage fills her. She takes out the Candycane of Doom and points it at the monster's head - from the back row, though.

"Take THIS, you filthy cretin!"

[Alfadas]

Torald grabs his halberd, takes place on the front row, drinks a Mead and with a loud battle cry attacks Bleeding Tentacle C

OoC: not sure if I can use a Mead and attack in the same turn, if not I just drink the Mead.

[UsernameMDM]

Torald grabs his halberd, takes place on the front row, drinks a Mead and with a loud battle cry attacks Bleeding Tentacle C

OoC: not sure if I can use a Mead and attack in the same turn, if not I just drink the Mead.

Hoke grabs Torald and throws him to the back.

"If you're not going to attack, stay back here," he then looks at Simon,"You just stay put back here as well."

Hoke - Zoot's Order, Poisonous Tentacle A, Front Row

Simon - Nothing, Back Row

Battle Order:

Hoke

Heckz

Simon

Q

Torald

[Cutcobra]

OoC: Really sorry for the absence.

"Ugh."

Says Heckz as he sees the tentacles. At least he didn't have to touch the slime they were touching, thanks to his new 'man servant'.

Heckz casts a darkness spell at Bleeding Tentacle A from the back row.

[KotZ]

Round 1 of Heckz’ Unpleasant Zeugl Hunt

Hoke vs Poisonous Tentacle A: Critical Smite (40+7+3+56=106x3=318dmg= 310-318=0; Poisonous Tentacle A KOd; Hoke gains 112 gold)

Heckz vs Bleeding Tentacle A (back): Razzmatazz (50 dmg to all enemies before darkness; Head at 413HP; Bleeding A and B at 250HP; Bleeding C at 150HP; Poison B at 250HP; Poison C and D at 150HP; All targets stunned; All targets Weakened for the next 3 rounds; Heckz gains 168 gold; 44-7=37 ether)

Simon does nothing

Q vs Zeugl Head: Miss(Nothing happens)

Torald drinks a Mead (Torald is now Encouraged for the battle)

Free hits do not occur because everyone is stunned.

The party gets off to a stunning start. Hoke seems to have a rush of adrenaline, probably from tossing Torald, and lands an amazing hit on the poisonous tentacle, severing it from the zeugl’s body. Its poisonous writhing tentacle wiggles on the ground for a few moments and then stops. Hoke also manages to pick up some gold. Then the supersleuth steps up. Being blinded, Heckz couldn’t find his target. So he does what seems to be a very-Heckz thing to do: show off. He lets loose a stunning blow and wounds every enemy, also snagging some gold. Simon just stands in awe at the two powerful attacks. Quintessa misses the Zeugl while Torald takes a second to down a mead.
