"Sun's out, guns out, boys! Let's take him down!"

Thormanil drops his Tailblade and... BONK!

"What the..?"

He picks up a small envelope, one that seems to have appeared from nowhere and with the sole purpose of smacking him in the face. He only slightly abuses the fact that talking is a free action in order to dictate a reply to be sent via the Z-mail service.

"Ms Ziegfried, if you wouldn't mind relaying this to the Dragonlord, I'd be awful grateful! Ahem.. 'Dragonlord, I've had a real blast fightin' with all these folk under the Heroica banner. I've got to thank ya for reigniting this institution! Here I thought that having a license to knock bad folk around like ragdolls was plenty of reward in itself, but now yer givin' us a chance at some new toys to boot? Can't argue with that!

And before I forget, here's a ticket. Come to daddy, you lovely little ammy!"

Thormanil Nihai (swils)

Turning his attention back to the battle, he attacks from the back row.

"Once again Ad-Hoh has become absent minded though I am sure he would cast a spell of darkness from the back row"

Knifk attacks from the front row.

Jebediahs · August 3, 2012

- "Bard, give us some fight music!"

- "I've got just the thing..." Singerson grabs two arrows and begins to thump them on the flat of a sword blade as he sings Truth of Akkaba.

Results of Round One of the Akkaba Training Session:

Knifk vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Damage Nope, he's hexed. (28-10=18 damage)

>Thormanil Nihai vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Meditate (+1 ether)

>Arasmyth RuGard vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Damage Hexed (28-10=18 damage)

>Ad-Hoh vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Shield: Summon

Ad-Hoh's Spirit of Darkness vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Spirit Attack (17x2*10=24 darkness damage)

Elgar Gligin vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Aim (No weapon equipped!= 0 damage)

Akkaba Melee Trainer vs. KnifkAkkaba Melee Trainer - Free Hit (28-10=18)

All heroes who don't willingly drop their weapons feel compelled to do so. Singerson's magical song causes the Trainer to act against himself! Amused, Thormanil takes time to meditate while Ad-Hoh brings forth a dark spirit. With the Trainer flailing around hitting himself, Elgar decides to hang back and watch the show. The round ends and the heroes realize they can pick up their weapons as they take a defensive stance.

- "You're providing quite the challenge for me bard. I can handle it, I'm a professional! Now, to the back row with all of you! Lesson two will commence: Defensive Tactics."

QM Note: Forgot to update the Power stat on heroes who reached a new level. The oversight has been corrected and has not affected the previous battle results. Also added the enemy's drops upon defeat.

- Singerson giggles to himself and beats on a bench with his "drum sticks" as he sings Bridge Guardian.

Results of Round Two of the Akkaba Training Session:

Knifk vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Hide

>Thormanil Nihai vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Meditate (+1 ether)

>Arasmyth RuGard vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Damage Hexed (28-10=18 damage)

>Ad-Hoh vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Shield: Summon Burst

>Elgar Gligin vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Shield: Tripleshot (25x3-10=65 damage)

Akkaba Melee Trainer vs. Knifk, Thormanil Akkaba Melee Trainer - Free Hit (28-10=18 damage)

Knifk strives for the highest marks in this lesson by hiding from the Trainer. Thormanil continues to regenerate ether while the trainer hits himself in the head. Ad-Hoh's pet explodes and Elgar fires three bolts into the hexed Trainer. A globe of white energy with a slight blue-ish tint slowly descends from the ceiling. It hovers to a distance of eight studs above the field of battle before exploding with blindly light.

Results of Round Three of the Akkaba Training Session:

Knifk vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Critical Hit Miss Blinded

>Thormanil Nihai vs. Thormanil Nihai - No Healing

>Arasmyth RuGard vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Special Damage: Dull the Pain (+1 WP Ad-Hoh & Arasmyth, 6-10~=0 damage to Trainer)

>Ad-Hoh vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Spell Aim (6x2=12 darkness damage)

>Elgar Gligin vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Damage Hexed (28-10=18 damage)

Akkaba Melee Trainer vs. Knifk, Akkaba Melee Trainer - Free Hit (28-10=18 damage)

Resfusing to take a respite, the heroes press on. Knifk swings and misses. The trainer grabs a nearby hammer then swings at the Party. His body redirects the blow towards himself. The mages' blindness clears just enough for them to witness the Trainer's form as he attacks himself. Memorizing his movements the mages gain a point of skill with their own blunt weapons. Vision still blurred, Ad-Hoh chucks a spell that grazes his target. The trainer hits himself a final time before the hexed effect wears off. He is now in full control of his actions. The Party can see once more but feel the urge to put their weapons down.
