Hexes

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

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

.

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.

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, let me know if there are mistakes.

Trickster's Masks can be donned/removed in the same turn as your normal action. Currently two characters are wearing a mask: Thorm(Gender-Human) and 'Smyth(Gender-Elf)

QM Note: The Maa'ri will join the fight at round 10...if you live that long.

>Thormanil Nihai heals Orc Spirit (Bravo) - Heal/No Healing (12+21+1=34 damage, Reminiscense=No)

>Thormanil Nihai heals Orc Spirit (Alpha) - Heal/Heal (12+21+1=34 damage, Reminiscence=No)

>Elgar Gligin uses Item (Arasmyth RuGard) - Remedy (negative effect removed)

>Arasmyth RuGard vs. Orc Spirit (Echo) - Miss

Free Hits:

Akkaban Archivist vs. Knifk - Free Hit (Immune, not targeted so does not mimic shaman SHIELD roll)

Knifk counter-strikes Akkaban Archivist - Free Hit (31-5=26 damage)

Vengeance Wraith vs. Thormanil Nihai - Free Hit (Immune)

Akkaba Paladin (Human) vs. Ad-Hoh - Free Hit (Immune)

Akkaba Cleric (Human) vs. Elgar - Free Hit (Immune)

Other Stuff:

All players lose 4 ether from Wraith's drain

Singerson does some pelvic thrusts and dances around. Knifk's relentless assault keeps his target from casting any spells. Thormanil the Merciful releases Bravo from his confinement on this plane then quickly sets to work on freeing Alpha. T'wan Ti begins a lengthy incantation in the hopes of saving her sister from the orc brute. Elgar dumps his remedy on the Arasmyth statue. The mage fires a spell that must have been meant for the zealot before they were petrified because he hits nothing. T'wan Ti finishes her spell and a giant ball of light drops on Hoh's head. Its brilliance blinds Hoh, Thorm and Elgar.

Once again the Wraith flies high and wails but this time it sucks 4 ether from the heroes.

With their mages out of ether, their vision obscured and their physical immunity fading, the Party needs to make the next round count. The battle continues.

Knifk counter-strikes Akkaba Mage, T'wan Ti (Human) - Free Hit (31 damage)

Other Stuff:

All players lose 5 ether from Wraith's drain

Singerson sings a song. Knifk presses his target again but this time scores an even bigger hit. Thormana conducts a blood ritual but the Archivist is immune to clerical spells. Nihai drinks some medicine to restore ether. Arasmyth tries to continue with his spell casting but finds he's out of ether. He shrugs and swings his stick at the ghost instead. Ad-Hoh cracks open an ether core and lets the effervescent contents restore his ether in full. With eyes too blurred to fire a bolt, Elgar grabs a potion, pulls out the cork with his teeth and blindly throws it at Echo.

The Archivist tries to attack Knifk but only ends up getting damaged himself. The wraith and Alpha are not able to penetrate Singerson's song. The Paladin smiles as he pelts his teammate. She grins as well then hits Elgar. Maybe there's some sort of sick relationship between those two...T'wan Ti comes to the aid of her sister and nails Knifk with a bolt of magic. Thanks to Singerson's song, the blast is amplified. Knifk drops his sword and shield then drops to his knees. After a brief silence, T'wan Ti slowly approaches and pokes him. "Is it dead?" Suddenly the sand green brute lashes out with his fist landing directly under the mage's chin. He collapses but not before sending the woman flying.

Once again the Wraith flies high and wails but this time it sucks 5 ether from the heroes.

The Party's immunity is gone for good. What ever are they going to do? The battle continues.

- "Which song would you like me to sing?"

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.

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, let me know if there are mistakes.

Trickster's Masks can be donned/removed in the same turn as your normal action. Currently two characters are wearing a mask: Thorm(Gender-Human) and 'Smyth(Gender-Elf)

QM Note: The Maa'ri will join the fight at round 10...if you live that long.

"Rrrghh! These spirits have got to go! Especially that damned wraith!"

After attempting, again, to heal Ad-hoh, Thormanil switches to his Thundering Totem, and swings at Echo from the front row.

Jebediahs · September 6, 2012

After avoiding numerous patrols, the Maa'ri find themselves at the sewer exit.

"Well, at least

she

escaped."

Hound and Ranger turn in time to see a figure rushing out from the sewer behind them into the market area. The orcs quickly follow and see her heading toward the Apothecarium.

"Isn't that where those guys we hired went?"

- "Damn." The orcs make their way to the Apothecarium.

Results of Round Six of The Archivist's Assault:

Homer Singerson uses Skill - Song: Shameful Secrets (Heroes have their level halved for this round.)

>Thormana Nihai heals Ad-Hoh - Heal/No Healing ((12+21/2 rounded down +1=23 health)

Thormana Nihai - Orc Spirit (Echo) - Extra Critical Hit/Hit (9x3+21/2 rounded down +1=38 lightning damage)

>Arasmyth RuGard uses Item (Self) - Grand Tonic (+15 ether)

>Ad-Hoh vs. Akkaba Mage (Human) - Special Damage: Righteous Smite (25/2/2 rounded up =7 damage Hoh; Hoh, Elgar, & Smyth=blind the next round)

>Elgar Gligin vs. Akkaba Cleric (Human) - Shield: Tripleshot (Cleric: 11+16/2-5=14 damage, T'wan & Mage: 19 lightning damage)

Free Hits:

Akkaban Archivist vs. Thormanil Nihai - Free Hit (10-3=7 damage, not targeted so does not mimic shaman SHIELD roll)

Vengeance Wraith vs. Arasmyth RuGard - Free Hit ((23+5)/2-3= 11 damage)

Orc Spirit (Alpha) vs. Ad-Hoh - Free Hit (10/2=5 damage)

Akkaba Paladin (Human) vs. Elgar Gligin/Akkaba Mage, T'wan Ti (Human) - Free Hit (20 damage)

Other Stuff:

All players lose 6 ether from Wraith's drain

Singerson sings a song. Thormana heals Ad-Hoh then charges Echo from the front row. Her lightning enhanced totem would have done an amazing amount of damage but it's hard to concentrate with Singerson's squawking. Just what language is he singing in, Rito-eese? Arasmyth guzzles a grand tonic while Elgar fires three bolts. With his reduced mental capability, his shots don't do their normal damage. He does manage to bring T'wan close to death. Enraged, her sister mage brings down the light on Hoh and blinds those standing next to him.

The Archivist sees an opening and clocks Nihai before standing aside looking smug. The Wraith swipes at Arasmyth as Alpha goes for Ad-Hoh. The hexed paladin sets his sights on T'wan Ti and knocks her out.

The Wraith flies high and wails as it sucks 6 ether from the heroes.

Only a couple of rounds left before backup arrives. Can the heroes hold out? And will the orcs be enough to win this battle?
