Heroica RPG- Quest #67: Nova Tertia

[Rumble Strike]

Tarn looked across at Benji. "See if the Garnet embued in your Crossbow will work on the orange one."

[Cutcobra]

As soon as Haldor said something about him and Haldor's emerald Heckz made a roar "...grrr..." .

[Flare]

Benji tries to use the garnet in his crossbow to awe the orange rockling. If so he will lure the rockling into a cage.

As soon as Haldor said something about him and Haldor's emerald Heckz made a roar "...grrr..." .

"Stop goofing off and start trying to be helpful to your team. Since the beginning of the quest you've been nothing but a goof off." Benji snapped angrily.

The Blue Rockling looks at the aquamarine in awe. Benji digs to find his gold, but it is nowhere to be found. It must have undergone metamorphic digestion to be unrecoverable.

Benji checks to see if the dead rockling's hide could make some sort of armor or helmet.

[Cutcobra]

"I wonder if the blue rockling is attracted to just water instead of the gem..."

[Flare]

"I wonder if the blue rockling is attracted to just water instead of the gem..."

"Great thinking, we all have plenty of water to spare, don't we "

[Cutcobra]

"We found the blue rockling inside a pool. If we have plenty of water then I won't bother spending my ether on making a nice water path for the, ummm, thing. Maybe the blue rockilng is just attracted to a Sapphire."

[Flare]

"We found the blue rockling inside a pool. If we have plenty of water then I won't bother spending my ether on making a nice water path for the, ummm, thing. Maybe the blue rockilng is just attracted to a Sapphire."

"It was already attracted by the aquamarine, genius. We need to attract the orange one's interest now..."

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Benji's crossbow does nothing to attract the Orange one.

[Flare]

Benji checks to see if the dead rockling's hide could make some sort of armor or helmet.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

QM Note: Aye, sorry. Benji checks the dead rockling, but it could not make any armor or helmet. It's just a pile of rocks.

[Flare]

Benji notices that the rest of the party has started to sleep on their feet. "HELLO PEOPLE! We have a quest to finish here! You can sleep when you're dead!"

[Scorpiox]

"Have a go at giving the orange one some gold..."

[Flare]

"Why am I the only one required to make an effort for this thing! I thought this was supposed to be a team effort." Benji glares at the other party members, but then tries to lure the orange rockling into a cage using 3 gold pieces.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

The orange rockling starts following the gold, but stops before the cage. It starts to laugh and walks away. Will the party try anything more, or are they ready for resistance?

[Flare]

Benji growls and attacks the orange rockling, firing three arrows in rapid succession at the rockling's eyes.

[Rumble Strike]

"We tried to do this as peacefully as possible. It's standing between us and our goal. Let's take it down and put it in a cage." Tarn said.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

"I've got the blue rockling!" (x4 multiplier, while I have x2 on the others )

Benji fires arrows at the Blue Rockling twice from the back row with his Golden Handcannon!

[Flare]

OoC: CJP, could it be possible for the rocklings not to be dead after we defeat them? So we can capture them.

[Rumble Strike]

"I'll take our friend Mr Orange!" shouted Tarn, aiming Lion's Heart at the Orange Rockling from the front row. "Bors, you better not get involved, these things look pretty dangerous."

OOC: Just to confirm, did we not explicitly say we would lead the Yellow and Blue Rocklings to a cage before? I thought we had, but if it wasn't bolded, then I understand.

[Flare]

OOC: Just to confirm, did we not explicitly say we would lead the Yellow and Blue Rocklings to a cage before? I thought we had, but if it wasn't bolded, then I understand.

OOC: I thought so too, but I guess that we didn't...

Also I'm sorry if I initiated battle before the rest of you were ready! It just didn't seem that we were making any progress with the orange one...

[joeshmoe554]

OOC: I figured we had to explicity cage the others, I was just waiting to see if we could get the orange one before putting his buddies in cages.

Jeaux glanced at the assassin as he began to load arrows into the large golden hand cannon. Arrows hardly seemed like an effective form of ammunition, since they would do little to build pressure and would likely be damaged by the explosion. Gold also seemed like a rather poor material to build a cannon with, given the ease at which it could be bent or molded. Though this assassin had seen far more battle than Jeaux and there could very well be etherial forces at play to counter any problems presented by physics. Jeaux loaded a round into the hand cannon that had been lent to him and aimed a shot at the orange rockling who had enraged Benji into losing his temper.

Jeaux fires a shot at the Orange Rockling from the back row

[Capt.JohnPaul]

OoC: CJP, could it be possible for the rocklings not to be dead after we defeat them? So we can capture them.

Hmm... maybe a few will live.

OOC: Just to confirm, did we not explicitly say we would lead the Yellow and Blue Rocklings to a cage before? I thought we had, but if it wasn't bolded, then I understand.

QM Note: I am unaware of that. I guess you didn't bold it. Did you say you were using gold or something? Because I had it planned that a few of them were uncagable, and I never remembered posting that they were captured. (Are you getting confused with 'interested'? I remember saying the blue one was interested in the Aqua gem, but it never went into the cage.)
