Masked Builder Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 Guts inspects the liquid, he finds it Mead. Ellaria uses the magnifying glass on the chest. She gets the vague idea that smashing it will trigger a trap.
Scubacarrot Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 "Go downstairs, we're not here to loot, if we find something to help us open the chest, we will, but remember our objective. Now go, I'll wait up here, make sure nothing comes in while you are down there."
Sandy Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 "Alrighty then, the chest seems to be trapped. Lets see if we can find a way to tackle this problem..." Ellaria inspects the chest to see if there's any clue as to how to open it.
Scubacarrot Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 The raider grinds his teeth: "Perhaps you did not hear us, girl. You are to go down there with the alchemists."
Masked Builder Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 The heroes head down the stairs. It's definitely a storage room. Ignore the people that aren't supposed to be there.
CMP Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Atramor moves to try and open the obviously golden chest, almost on reflex. "This is more like it, even if it's a trap..."
Masked Builder Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 The minute Atramor opens the chest, creatures jump out at him. And he doesn't notice what is in the chest. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Masked Builder Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 "Atramor, I can't say that any of these Alchemists have ever been tested in battle. It used to be a lot more common, but that part of their training has been put by the way side the last few years."
Masked Builder Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 "No not at all. Just that this is their first fight."
CMP Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Atramor was more than inclined to chuckle at the fact, before vividly remembering the first time he'd ever drawn blood. The circumstances were quite different, obviously, but he hadn't forgotten how much an effect it'd had. "Well, ya'll just be careful, me and Ellaria'll make sure ya' don't go down." If Sandy doesn't show up in the next few hours. Ellaria will attack ROUS B from the front row. Edited April 13, 2013 by CallMePie

CMP Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Badly Poisoned normally does 10 damage, not 3, but in this case it should do 20, since ROUS A should be Fragile too. Also, Ellaria should do 64 damage, you forgot to account for the Black Bandana and Vermin are weak to Fire. The Alchemists were all attacking the Mynocks, so John shouldn't be damaged at all, and instead have his power halved, while Ashley should take only 15 damage. Oh, and you accidentally removed Rian's Grand Potion and Remedy. "There ya' are," observes Atramor as Guts heads down the stairs. He waves a hand at the out-of-place vermin, before whirling the flail at Mynock A from the front row. "Mind lendin' a hand? You've got an openin' on that first rat. John, use a Potion on Ashley, then you, Claude, and Rian help me with Mynock A. Ashley, see if ya' can't keep Mynock B occupied. Everyone on the front row."

Scubacarrot Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Guts attacks Rodent A, then Rodent B, from the front row, with Lifestealer.
Sandy Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 OoC: sorry, been a busy weekend. Ellaria glances at the rookie alchemists with a bit of concern, but they seem to be faring pretty well. She turn her attention back to the vermin, repeating her attack.

Scubacarrot Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Guts should have dealt 4x damage against the Rats, because Ice is strong against Vermin (and encouraged), and 8x damage against Rat A, because it was Fragile as well. Also Ashley's Mixture did not appear in her inventory, nor did the Mead I got from the keg.

CMP Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 "Good work, Guts," remarks Atramor, stowing the flail back into his cloak, and examining the Rat Hide before opening the golden chest back up and looking inside. You didn't specify what the Rat Hide is. I'm assuming an artifact, but what slot does it fill? Bodywear, backwear, accessory, footwear, handwear, or headwear?
Scubacarrot Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 I think Rodent B should be up with 6 health still. Not going after you Masked or anything!!
Masked Builder Posted April 14, 2013 Author Posted April 14, 2013 QM Note: Forgot the loot there for a second! Atramor finds a few chemicals inside the chest. 2x Elixir Deadly Venom Soma
Scubacarrot Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 "Does my reputation hold up, girl?" The raider smirked, shook his head, and went back upstairs.
