- "Which song would you like me to play next?"

Homer Singerson has 6 songs that can be sung, each usable only once per battle.

Akkaba’s Delight

- A delightful diddy about Akkaba before he was betrayed

. Causes the

blessed

effect on a random ally for three rounds. “Oh! You doth have a friend in me...”

Truth of Akkaba

- Reveals the horrid truth of Akkaba.

Hexes

a random enemy for three rounds. “See the face of Akkaba, see his true visage...”

Shameful Secrets

- This song reminds all combatants of a shameful secret they hold

(like hitting a boy in the head in the sewer)

.

50% chance heroes

have their

level halved

for one round and

50% chance enemies

have their

level halved

for one round. “Let your secrets out I say! Let them see the light of day!”

Sewer Slide

- It seems that Singerson might have entered through the sewers as well.

All heroes are

hastened

but also

poisoned

for one round. “Sliding down the sewer luge is fun...but dirty.”

Bridge Guardian

- A familiar song about a giggling guardian.

All enemies are magically

burned for 5 damage regardless of SP

. “Giggle giggle giggle, all she does is giggle as you fall in a pit and are burned for a bit,”

Righteous Reverb

- The song reverberates off the walls, vibrating the heroes.

All heroes get the

immune to physical damage effect

(physical based free hits included) for three rounds but take double damage from magic based attacks (magical based free hits included). "Caaanaaanaaan yoooouuuuuuuu feeeeeeeeeeeeelllll theeeeeeeeeeeeeee viiiiiiiiibrrrrrraaaaaaatiiioooooooonnnnnsssssssss?!"

Party Leader, choose the order of actions. Also choose the song Singerson will sing. It will take effect before the round begins. Also, choose Ad-Hoh's action just in case.

Knifk, state if you want to sacrifice any additional health for your attacks.

All of you, choose your targets and the Row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, heal, or cast a magic spell, or if you want to use an item instead of attacking. Check your stats.

If the trainer is not targeted he will deal a Free Hit in addition to his hastened Free Hit after everyone has acted.

"What. The. Metabolism." Arasmyth says, casting Wind from the back row one more time. "Thormanil, revive Knifk!"

Elgar lay on the floor,it seems he run of luck ended. He prayed to Ennoc that it will be all over soon.

swils · August 5, 2012

"Urrghhh... I feel like I just ran into several solid brick walls! And not a single upgrade was had that day.. heh. Now, about this lazy orc.."

Thormanil uses a Phoenix Essence on Knifk, and hopes that he has a chance to get another before the inevitable B^3.

With glowing feet, Homer Singerson starts to stomp. The vibrations shake the room as

Righteous Reverb

begins.

Results of Round Five of the Akkaba Training Session:

Thormanil Nihai uses Item (Knifk) - Phoenix Essence

Knifk vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Critical Mortal Hit (10x2+17-10=27 damage)

>Arasmyth RuGard vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Great Spell (6x2+13-10=15 damage)

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

>Ad-Hoh vs. Akkaba Melee Trainer - Spell (He's done.)

Elgar Gligin vs. Status Effect - Knocked Out( )

Instead of raising Elgar who in turn could raise Knifk, Thormanil revives his buddy. Incredibly frustrated with the training from the previous round, the heroes swarm the Trainer and assault him until he submits.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!!

Knifk, Arasmyth and Ad-Hoh gain half a level. Thormanil gains a third. The enemy drops the Coat-of-Arms and 50 gold.

Party Leader, how will the loot be divided?

50 gold

Coat-of-Arms

[Accessory], (

Ability:

,

K

night proudly displays his or her coat-of-arms.) - Player’s attack on enemy has a 1 in 6 chance to inspire a teammate(determined by die roll) to immediately score a free hit on the same enemy with strength equal to the inspired hero's power.

Suitable for Knights Only.

The Trainer tosses the necklace before the Party.

"Here, take it. S'of no use to me as you can clearly see I work alone. Hah! It's a brilliant piece of equipment though. The pendant changes itself to match the coat-of-arms of the wearer. Some of the guards took it from an orc brute. I heard he was incredibly hard to bring down. I'm still upset I missed out on that fight."

The Trainer lowered his eyes to the floor and shook his head, clearly disappointed.

"Maybe next time...You chaps did alright for your first time. I'll give you the chance to come back and

face me up to two more times

if you want more trainin'. I'll have new lessons awaitin' for ya but I'll be using the same weapons(specials). But you might want to pick up some

Jinxy Juice

before coming back though. Now off with ya, I need a respite meself."

The heroes leave the training barracks. After the loot is divided, where will the Party head next?

Kadabra · August 6, 2012

Arasmyth tosses the coat of arms to Knifk, and then divvies up the gold 10 each.

"Shall we head to the Transient Vendor Area next, fellows?"

Jedi master Brick · August 6, 2012

Elgar got up off the ground and stumbled a few steps forward. Elgar spoke "Yes the Vendor area sounds good"

The party reaches the Transient Vendor Area. As the wedding must be in full swing, there is only one vendor kiosk operating. Our heroes approach the lone salesperson. They see a strange looking individual. The person appears to be human with long light blonde hair pulled back into a pony tail. The bangs were parted to reveal a peculiar pair of reflective spectacles that adorned an angelic and almost feminine face. The vendor’s gender could finally be determined from the light tuft of hair sprouting from the unfastened top button of his shirt. The party notices a number on his shirt. Perhaps it designates his employee number at his primary place of employment. He is carrying a chain wrapped around his back and in his right hand he holds a restraining device consisting of a pair of strong, connected hoops that can be tightened and locked about the wrists. He smelled of what could only be described as a cinnamon fragrance with a touch of rose water and a hint of lavender.

“Greetings all! Those other merchants told me I was bonkers for remaining open while everyone was at the wedding but I knew there’d be at least a few rebels about! So who are you guys? I’ve never seen you around. New Akkaba recruits? My name is Papi’Ras! I sell scrolls and provide a few other services. "

Papi’Ras, The Scroll Peddlin’ Harlot

Papi'Ras moved a little closer to the group. "Oh, not new recruits at all it seems. I see an orc, a couple of cross dressers and a green creature I've never seen before." He lowered his glasses and peered at the heroes. "Magic specs, these. Very exotic don't'cha think? Don't worry about me I'm not like the Akkaba." Papi'Ras chuckled before continuing. His voice was smooth and mesmerizing. Extremely familiar yet different. The cadence of his speech was almost but not quite sing songy.

“You’d be surprised how much pent up energy these Children of Akkaba have. The services I provide are so appreciated that they overlook the fact I don’t follow their god and that I even service what they call the “lesser” races. They pay me so well here I don’t have a need to leave. hah!" He put a shackle to his eye.

-

The chains around Papi'Ras jangled softly and began to slither as if alive. "Don't think I can't see you there, Bard. Have you considered my offer? What say you?"

- "..."

The scroll merchant turned back towards the Party. He pulled a rose out of nowhere and sniffed it. "Ahhh. So pleasant it is don't you agree? Grace and beauty for all to see." Papi'Ras inhaled again then smirked. "I asked my sibling there to come work with me. His songs could come in handy for charming clients. I say "sibling" because even though we grew up together, not even I know what gender he is! One day we'd refer to him as male, another as female." He shook his head. "Androgyny, yet another skill she's grasped better than me."

"Work for you dear brother, no. With you I never get to put on a show. You prefer the glint of money and always thought my dance and song so funny. No one can sell a better scroll but selling them takes no soul. I prefer to help travelers, adventurers and heroes, rather than sell to your clients, which tend to be zeros. You'll always be my favorite brother even though you're the only from mother. But I've taken up too much time with this family rhyme. Back to helping these heroes along on their quest, sell them good objects so they'll be the best!"

"Hmph. Aw well. Anything else heroes or are you going to move on to the next location? I don't get along with the owner, but I believe the main shop of the

Mercantile

is open as well."

Kadabra · August 7, 2012

"Let's move to the Mercantile. We can head back here if Thormy or Ad Hoh wants a scroll."

Jedi master Brick · August 7, 2012

"Agreed, onwards."

ADHO15 · August 7, 2012

Ad-Hoh purchases Harlotry for 50 Gold and a Happy Ending for 200 Gold on the condition that he gets all of his money back before sharing the extra gold gained with the rest of the party.

"To the Mercantile!"

Elgar Limped onwards and said " I seem to be a bit injured from our last battle, please can you heal me up Thormnail,."

A small lad rushes towards the Party at top speed. As he gets closer the heroes see he's no older than six or seven seasons. The boy bumps into Thormanil and continues through the group. "Out of my way! Hero comin' thru!" The little hero appears to be equipped with an inordinate amount of wooden weaponry. He has a couple of wooden swords strapped to his back, a wooden mace and wand fastened to his waist, a staff in hand and a bucket atop his head. He looked ridiculous.

The Party stopped in their tracks to watch the boy climb a ladder to the second story of a closed shop. "I'm Ulf Gohon the greatest hero in Olegaia! SEE MY POWER! Watch me jump!" A woman calmly strolls to the bottom of the ladder and looks upward. "Now Ulf, how many times must we go over this? What does Akkaba teach us about those who do anything for attention?"

"They will be smote by Akkaba's light, raised from death by his darkness then smote again for all eternity... yeah yeah. " The woman nods and waves her finger for the boy to climb back down. As he does, the Party fails to notice an approaching patrol.

"Move along there, folks. Nothing to see here-oh! It's you! Accompanied by the bard now I see. What are you folks up to, causing any trouble?"

How will the Party respond?

QM Note: Again any response by The Party has a 2/6 chance with diplomacy and a 1/6 chance without of bypassing this encounter.

"Yes, we are causing trouble. That's sort of our modus operandi, in case you hadn't noticed. I suppose we shall do battle once more, now?"

QM Note: Roll successful. Encounter bypassed.

The Party can see the merchant's shop a few studs' walk away.

"Yes, we are causing trouble. That's sort of our modus operandi, in case you hadn't noticed. I suppose we shall do battle once more, now?"

- "Eh, maybe next time. It's almost time for my break and I need to unload at the privy in the worst way, if ya know what I mean." The cleric winks and her party moves on.

The Party reaches the mercantile's only open kiosk. "Bout time. Buy sum'thin. Deew Drink is good. Makes you dumb as a post but at least ya feel good. The Melee Trainer loves the stuff."

Thormanil throws Elgar a heal before the Party continues to explore the desolate markeplace.

"What?! I do no such thing! I want to hear him beg!" He laughs for a minute before healing Elgar.

Thormanil purchases 4x Small Ale, 2x 2pc&biscuit and 3x Turkey Leg for 15 gold, then looks over the selection of elixers and concoctions. He puts down another 70 coins in exchange for 2x Smelling Salts, 3x Jinxy Juice and 1x Deew Drink.

"If we're gonna be wantin' any more Phoenix Essences, could one of you all pick up the tab? I've already burned through half of what I brought with me and I don't imagine I'll be chuggin' these things any less as we go on." he says, as he washes down a Turkey Leg with a Small Ale.

Elgar thanked thormnail for the heal and decided to pass on buying anything new this time around

ADHO15 · August 8, 2012
