Sandy Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 The party moves the ladder to the third tree to the right, and Tomas climbs up, finding only a red round Big Apple (permanently raises attack power by one), but no dryad. The Party Leader must decide who gets to eat this apple in turn. The Autumn Dryad switches her hiding place from the first tree to the right, snickering nastily as the pretty apple tree withers. Four trees remain. Which tree will the party choose next? X T T T T X
Brickdoctor Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I should've listened to Daggerfall. Okay, Big Apple... we all have equal Attack Power right now, so I'll give it to Tesni, who has yet to receive any of the loot.
Fred Fred Burger Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Sure whatever, I guess that's good:hmpf:.
Brickdoctor Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Sure whatever, I guess that's good . Are you mad at me for not listening to you or for giving the apple to Tesni? If it's the former, sorry. If it's the latter, you got a Tonic so I thought this would be fair.
Tamamono Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 "Heh heh, oops." "Which one should we check next?"
Brickdoctor Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I was thinking either the front-left or middle-right trees.
Fred Fred Burger Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) No it's the first one, I mean come on people the hair gives me psychic powers:alien: I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about . OCC: Really though it's not that big a deal. I'm just kind of aggravated it's taking us so long to decide what to do. What? oh sorry guys. I just found some strange puddle on the ground. In retrospect I probably shouldn't have drank it. OCC: Oh and when I made this post I didn't even know I was right:grin:. Edited August 22, 2011 by Fred Fred Burger
Brickdoctor Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 So... which one do you want to check out next, Daggerfall?
Fred Fred Burger Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Um, I guess middle middle right one is as good a guess as any. OCC:Sorry about my rant, when I made my two previous posts I hadn't even seen that Sandy had posted the next part yet.
Peppermint_M Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Tesni caught the apple and stowed it. "Thank you there Docken, this is a harder puzzle than the pumpline eh?"
Brickdoctor Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Tesni caught the apple and stowed it. "Thank you there Docken, this is a harder puzzle than the pumpline eh?" Indeed. But it would have to be this way, otherwise by the fourth guess there'd be no trees left. So which tree are we going for?
Peppermint_M Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 "Maybe we should try a middle tree? Either one would do."
Sisco Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 "How about middle tree left? I'm honestly just guessing at this point."
Brickdoctor Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 "How about middle tree left? I'm honestly just guessing at this point." So are the rest of us. I suppose it can't hurt to double back and check one of the previous trees.
Lego Pinocchio Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Oh dear sorry i'm late I agree the middle left sounds about right.
Sandy Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 The party carry the ladders back to the middle tree on the left, and sure enough, as Jess climbs up to check the branches, she gets a rotten apple smashed at her face. Much to her surprise, she sees the Autumn Dryad accompanied by three little bear-like creatures, and all four are leering at her. Infuriated, Jess shakes the branches and they all fall tumbling down. The monsters are not laughing anymore. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Brickdoctor Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Yub yub! Okay, order of actions is: Knight Longbeard Knight Daggerfall Ranger Docken Barbarian Hightribe Rogue Islanti Cleric Tomas I'll take the Autumn Dryad from the Back Row, so if she rolls her special it won't affect my offensive power.
Peppermint_M Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 "I will take on the Bugbear Black from the front row, Cryf should sort him out fast!"
Sisco Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Jess unsheathed Blohdhurm, glad to be the one to find the monsters again. Grinning with the joy of battle, Jess said "I'll take the Brown Bugbear! He won't last long against me!" Jess thought about what she had said a few moments ago, and added "From the front row, of course!"
Fred Fred Burger Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Chris attacked the Autumn Dryad from the front row.
Tamamono Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 "I'll attack the Gray Bugbear from the Back Row"
Sandy Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Results of Round One of the Dryad Battle: Thrain Longbeard vs. Autumn Dryad - Shield Sir Christopher Daggerfall vs. Autumn Dryad - Shield >Bartholomew Docken vs. Autumn Dryad - Aim Tesni Hightribe vs. Black Bugbear - Shield Jess Islanti vs. Brown Bugbear - Critical Hit >Tomas vs. Grey Bugbear - Spirit Guard The battle starts with Thrain Longbeard taking the Sentinel position, protecting everyone from damage for the next round. Thinking this as some sort of pissing contest, Christopher also takes on the Sentinel position. Bartholomew takes a good aim at the Autumn Dryad, causing only 3 points of damage. Tesni on the other hand goes on a Frenzy, causing 6 points of damage to all enemies thanks to the extra power gained from eating the Big Apple. That means all three Bugbears fall to Cryfder's blade. With his original target gone, Tomas turns his attention to the Autumn Dryad, who tries to ensnare him with her Poison Ivy, but Tomas's divine powers prevent that. The Dryad still stands, so the battle continues.

Results of Round Two of the Dryad Battle: Thrain Longbeard vs. Autumn Dryad - Miss Sir Christopher Daggerfall vs. Autumn Dryad - Damage >Bartholomew Docken vs. Autumn Dryad - Damage Tesni Hightribe vs. Autumn Dryad - Extra Critical Hit Jess Islanti vs. Autumn Dryad - Special Damage >Tomas vs. Autumn Dryad - Critical Hit Bolstered by the knowledge that he could not be harmed this round, Thrain Longbeard makes a foolhardy strike - and misses. The Autumn Dryad whips both Sir Christopher and Bartholomew with her briars, but the knights' Sentinel protects them both. Tesni lands an extra critical hit on the Dryad, causing 12 damage, which is all it takes to bring the menace down. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! THE FIELD IS SAVED! All party members gain a level of experience. The enemies drop one remedy, one venom and three potions.

A poisoned enemy loses 1 health each turn.)
Brickdoctor Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Excellent. Let's see... I'll give the Remedy to Tomas, a Potion each to Christopher, Tesni, and Thrain, and Jess can have another Venom. Are we going for the Meadow or the Maze next?
Sandy Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Back at the farmhouse, Old Mack Donauld inquires the party's next desired destination. 1. Sheep Meadow ~ You must find the Direwolf hiding among the twelve sheep. Each time one of you catches a normal sheep, the Direwolf eats another sheep. If six sheep get eaten before the beast is captured, the field is ruined. 2. Corn Maze ~ You must navigate through the corn maze to find the possessed Scarecrow. If you return to the entrance two times before the monster is slain, the field is ruined. 3. Haystacks ~ You must search through nine haystacks to find three Battle Ants. The ants have also hidden three Fire Bombs into the haystacks that will go off if the stack is searched. The ants must be found before the three bombs, or the field is ruined. 4. Apple Orchard ~ SAVED! 5. Pumpkin Patch ~ SAVED!
