Palathadric Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 The soldiers pause as the encounter Leo and Daxus. Monk Pretzel begins preaching at them. If only they would listen! Benji and Alisha still do not show up. It seems they are flirting in the background and completely unaware that a battle is ahead of them. Them that have swords to wield, let they them wield, thinks Monk Pretzel. "You have a choice," Monk Pretzel calls suddenly to the soldiers. "You can either choose to fight us and follow your dark master withersoever he leads you, until you meet your end in whatever way he sees fit, or you can forget this every happened and change your ways. You will in no way lose whatever pitiful reward you may have stored up in the afterlife if you leave us be. I cannot promise you too much still, but if you fight us I can promise you even less. I do notice that there is some gold in your purses though. They seem full to me, anyway, hopefully with gold and not bones or some other vile ornaments. Hand them over to me. With a supply such as that I believe I may be able to cleanse your past of any impurities before the throne of my God. A better life is awaiting you, do not shrug it off too easily, but think about this. Wouldn't you rather live in peace than live for a cruel master who only desires to use you for his aims. It is the fear of him that drives you on, but you can be free of him. You do not need to be controlled by his fear. Leave this place and before long we shall route the country of the undead monster that plagues it. Do not be too quick in choosing a fight which will lead you nowhere, even if you do win it."
LEGOman273 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 "Which, of course, you will not." *I mutter under my breath* "Where are Benji and Alisha? They should have been here by now." *I whisper to the others* "I wonder if they encountered raiders on the road into town. They were walking behind us, so it's possible. Shall I go back and look for them?"
Palathadric Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 "Which, of course, you will not." "But shhh, not too loud just yet," I (Monk Pretzel, I suppose I will use first person from now on, unless I forget) whisper to Daxus. "We want to make them feel that they are doing us a favour by not fighting us to encourage whatever good side they have in them. If they turn their backs on the good and turn to evil, than we can use the power of fear over their hearts." *I mutter under my breath* "Where are Benji and Alisha? They should have been here by now." *I whisper to the others* "I wonder if they encountered raiders on the road into town. They were walking behind us, so it's possible. Shall I go back and look for them?" "It may be presumptious of me, but I believe they are 'sporting' behind that building. Are there no virgins and none chaste upon the face of this world!" I turn to Daxus, "You had better not go yet. Five well-armed soldiers against a boy and an old man can never be a fair fight, especially seeing that the old man had been KO'ed already twice today. If they got themselves into trouble they will have to get themselves out of it, unless we all retreat for now and go and meet up with them. That is, possibly, the better choice."
Capt.JohnPaul Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 QM Note: I'll give Flare and Poison Ivy to around... the afternoon, other wise I'll choose their actions. "You have a choice," Monk Pretzel calls suddenly to the soldiers.

The Canute Vikings stare at you.... Didn't this foolish old man know that their original beliefs taught to them since childhood said there was a warrior heaven? And that the more you fought, the more rewards they get?

OOC: Please can somebody tell Monk Pretzel this, in character. IC: I think I'm getting through to them, I think excitedly. Edited March 7, 2012 by palathadric
Capt.JohnPaul Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) OOC: Please can somebody tell Monk Pretzel this, in character. The vikings don't look like they're in a chatty mood right now... Edited March 7, 2012 by Capt.JohnPaul
Palathadric Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 The vikings don't look like they're in a chatty mood right now... OOC: I didn't exactly mean one of them. I was talking more about one of the other questees.
Poison Ivy Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 OOC: Holy sh*t, hectic day yesterday. Still can't figure out how I ended up at my mother's. If you haven't noticed, I was drunk. Or at least I think I was, I'm still not thinking straight this morning. IC: Alisha promptly smacks Monk Pretzel on the back of the head, she just knew he was thinking about something dirty, and then raises Draken's Ice once again, charging at the Archer from the front row.
Palathadric Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 As Alisha darts past me, I whack her on the head with my cross in reply. Unfortunately, for me, I am not actually able to reach her. My cross just misses her head, and the force (as if I had any) of the blow, sends me kissing the dirt beneath me. I look up (just in time or too late, I don't know?) just as one of the raiders rushes at me. After the first round of blows are exchanged, I shout over at Alisha, "I saw you examining his shiny golden arrow!"
TheBoyWonder Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Leo shouts "You two, stop arguing or else I'll take monk Pretzel down." Leo mutters that he would enjoy it before saying " Who would want to indulge in fun with Alisha? "
Poison Ivy Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 "I do take offense at that, Leo." Hearing Monk Pretzel's snarky comment, Alisha yells back, "As if! Pretzel, you better hope you get killed by these Vikings, 'cause if you don't, I'm gonna kill you for them! "

Palathadric Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Leo shouts "You two, stop arguing or else I'll take monk Pretzel down." "I am already down, and almost out!" I shout back. Hearing Monk Pretzel's snarky comment, Alisha yells back, "As if! Pretzel, you better hope you get killed by these Vikings, 'cause if you don't, I'm gonna kill you for them! " "What!?! Is a man slain these days for telling the truth? If I die, at least, I will die a martyr for the right cause. The cause of truth. I spoke know lie. I know sporting when I see it. I know a lack of vir...virtue, when I see it."
Poison Ivy Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) "Damn you, Pretzel, and your utterly conflicting words and personality!" says a voice in the sky, presumably a god, but maybe probably Alisha doing sound effects. Edited March 7, 2012 by Poison Ivy
Palathadric Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) "Pardon me, I couldn't quite hear you. Perhaps I'm a little short on hearing. What did you say again?" Edited March 7, 2012 by palathadric
TheBoyWonder Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Remember, I can easily kick your megablocks anytime you get cocky, so shut up and focus. We have a battle to win.

"I would not count on you kicking Alisha's megablocks. Weren't you just admitting earlier today that she beat you in the arena? ...Wait a minute...you weren't talking to me were you?" OOC: I wonder if Capt.JohnPaul is delaying on purpose, trying to force us to roleplay like it seems some of the other quest masters are doing.
LEGOman273 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Remember, I can easily kick your megablocks anytime you get cocky, so shut up and focus. We have a battle to win. "Right!" *I mutter under my breath* "Seriously, though, where the hell is Benji?!"
Palathadric Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 "Polishing his golden arrow no doubt. "As party leader he should fight for two and as a monk I shouldn't have to fight, so he should be taking my place." OOC: Maybe we should tally the amount of foes we each defeated in the last few rounds.
Capt.JohnPaul Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 Oh boy.... forcing you to role play is so fun! Leo vs. Warlord- Miss Benji vs. Swordsman- Critical Hit Alisha vs. Archer- Shield Daxus vs. Raider B- Miss Monk Prezel vs. Raider A- Shield Leo attacks the Warlord, but he is a lord for a reason. He is skillful and sidesteps the stroke. Benji aims his crossbow and scores a critical hit, killing the swordsman instantly. Alisha goes on a frenzy, still angered by Leo's comments. She causes 10 damage to all enemies. Daxus, stating he gets out of the way, ends up missing. Monk Pretzel restores the party's health.

LEGOman273 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 "Polishing his golden arrow no doubt." "Possibly, or he could be asleep. Guys usually do fall asleep after sex." ( Alisha) *I attack Viking Raider B from the Front Row*
Palathadric Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) I keep up my assault on Viking Raider A. I honestly do not have a clue as to what made me do the seemingly selfless deed that I did. OOC: And finally Monk Pretzel does something useful. Trumpet's sound. We should have a celebration. Maybe the enemies are startled by his fiery speech. Back IC: "Ooo, I guess all of Benji's polishing did avail a good deal of good, eh? It was my fiery speech that also got Alisha in the fighting spirit." Back OOC: Goodness, Alisha's frenzies are really propelling us forwards. Thank goodness! Edited March 7, 2012 by palathadric
Poison Ivy Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 "Pretzel, Daxus, shut up. You don't need to quip in the middle of battle. Keep the one-liners out of the fighting, we need to concentrate on these enemies. I will repeat my attack on the Archer."
