Heroica RPG - Quest#93: School's Out

[Myrddyn]

Erik is a little bit slow in responding to the rest of the party's arguing.

He looks around dazedly, then shakes his head. Too many whacks to the head from those books. He thinks.

"Please, ladies and gentlemen. We have more important problems right now. Let's try and get that magic lantern. Proffessor... What was 'is name again? Anyway, he said he had an artefact that should give us an edge against these demons, in his room off that dark hall. Plus, there could still be survivors to find."

[Sandy]

"Now, let's go to the first floor of the west wing! I want to get to that faculty office as soon as possible."

Heckz says hi to Señor Calacas along the way, if he is there.

"¡Hola! Still alive, it seems."

The party crosses the entrance hall and enter the first floor of the West Wing. As they open the door, a great heat hits them in the face. The entire hallway glows green from the bewitched fire raging a little further in. The heroes can spot some students caught in the middle of the fire.

"Halt! D-d-don't come closer or the fire will e-e-engulf you t-t-too!"

From the other side of the ring of fire rises a serpentine head.

"Yesss, ssstep clossser by all meansss. The wyrdfyre will roassst your ssssoulsss out of you asss well..."

"Wyrdfyre!" Drucilla gasps. "These are no ordinary flames. That demonic snake is the source, we have to defeat it to put the fire out. But we cannot reach it from this side without risking the students."

The fire blocks the party's way. They cannot enter any doors on this end of the hallway, either.

[Kintobor]

"Drucilla, is there another way around to the students? If I recall correctly there's a way around here through the 2nd floor?"

She pulls out the crudely drawn map Hawke had drawn out.

"My suggestion is we tail back and around from the West Wing's second floor and return to the other side."

[Cutcobra]

"My suggestion is we hit the snake that needs to find a dentist right now with a water spell, but we could go with Karie's plan. Even though it sounds like we would be too late when we ge there and the students would get roasted. Or we could just split the party."

[Kintobor]

"Well, half of us could go around in to get downstairs, but who knows what's lurking in there. We could split the team, but in that case, we should split it between those with and those without the ability to use water spells. I mean, Eldritch, you're the expert here, would the wyrdfire consume the students before we could reach them if we went around, or is there something I'm not getting here?"

[Endgame]

"Since Drucilla has likely toured this entire school several times, perhaps she could just use her slippers to warp directly behind the demon?"

Edited March 27, 2014 by Endgame

[Cutcobra]

"That is literally the best idea I have ever heard, right next to mine. But first, Noel, give Drucilla your Feather of Flight, would you? And after you take that feather, Druci- Dear, you should teleport right on the other side of the room, where you can face the snake. Got that?"

[Endgame]

"Not fully senile yet!

Only issue is... What if Drucilla can't bring it down alone? We may hurt the children if we shoot over them..."

[Kintobor]

"Wow, wow, wow. Hold on Heckz. Let's no go head long into something we don't know anything about. We might be able to slip upstairs and face it from the other side. I'd like to hear Drucilla's answer to what this wyrdfire is before we do any attacking."

[Endgame]

"Also, another thought... Can the Ruby Slippers somehow cross dimensions? Could we send Drucilla back and forth without consequence?"

[Cutcobra]

"You already heard Drucilla's opinion on this. 'Demonic Snake, not a normal fire.' is that not enough for you people? Druci- Dear, don't cross teleport yet, but do take the Feather of Flight from Noel."

[Myrddyn]

"Yeah, how would ranged attacks and water spells do against the snake? Also, could healing magic pass through the fire to the kids?"

"Any of you kids need healing?" He calls.

Erik begins scratching mystical ritual symbols on the floor without waiting for an answer.

"Maybe we could trick the snake into coming over here somehow?" He whispers, before waving his arms and chanting something, either in an obscure shaman language, or just in dodgy Latin.

[Sandy]

"Well, half of us could go around in to get downstairs, but who knows what's lurking in there. We could split the team, but in that case, we should split it between those with and those without the ability to use water spells. I mean, Eldritch, you're the expert here, would the wyrdfire consume the students before we could reach them if we went around, or is there something I'm not getting here?"

Drucilla evaluates the situation.

"Since the students are still standing, I'd say we still have time to cross over to the other side through the second floor - if we don't get caught up by anything. From what I've learned, wyrdfyre hurts both body and soul, leaving behind charred undead skeletons that prey on living humans to satiate their yearning to be alive again. This is dark magic we are facing here."

The students caught in the flames start to panic.

"Huh?! I don't wanna become a skeleton!"

"Is there nothing you tall'uns can do?!"

"It's getting hot in here..."

"That is literally the best idea I have ever heard, right next to mine. But first, Noel, give Drucilla your Feather of Flight, would you? And after you take that feather, Druci- Dear, you should teleport right on the other side of the room, where you can face the snake. Got that?"

"I can try that, if you want to."

"Also, another thought... Can the Ruby Slippers somehow cross dimensions? Could we send Drucilla back and forth without consequence?"

"I really don't know. I got these inside the demon book, I don't know if they even work."

"Yeah, how would ranged attacks and water spells do against the snake? Also, could healing magic pass through the fire to the kids?"

"Any of you kids need healing?" He calls..

"The serpent is holding the students as human shields. Our projectiles would only hit them."

"I have c-c-clerical abilities. I've been keeping us healthy since we got c-c-caught, but I'm running low on e-e-ether."

"Nute, you're our hero! "

"Errr..."

[Kintobor]

Karie fishes around her pockets for a few items and pulls out a few red bottles.

"Hey, you, glasses! Do you think you could catch a couple of tonics I toss in there?"

[Sandy]

The boy with the glasses shakes his head.

"S-sorry, but the fire is unbreachable. My f-friend who wasn't caught already t-tr-tried everything, but he had to q-q-quit and go look for he-he-help. He said he would g-g-go to the F-faculty Office..."

[Cutcobra]

"F*****g s**t this goddamn Faculty Office..."

"Karie, Amorith, you guys stay here to heal them while we go to the second floor to the stairs so that we are in the other side of the room."

[Kintobor]

"We can't heal them. The flames? Remember?"

[Cutcobra]

"Well then, the only plan here is to run to the West Wing Second floor as fast as possible, and we try to get to the stairs as fast as possible so that we reach here, again."

[-obelix-]

"Well then, the only plan here is to run to the West Wing Second floor as fast as possible, and we try to get to the stairs as fast as possible so that we reach here, again."

"Let us hurry then, what are we still waiting for? If anything gets in our way, since not all of us can get away, we toss this and get to these children as quickly as possible!" Thalion says as he points to the smoke bomb in his pack.

[Myrddyn]

Erik runs towards the other end of the corridor via the second floor.

"Sorsha, mind if I take my axe back for this fight? With only the one enemy, your frenzies will be less useful, I'm afraid."

[legobodgers]

"Let us hurry then, what are we still waiting for? If anything gets in our way, since not all of us can get away, we toss this and get to these children as quickly as possible!" Thalion says as he points to the smoke bomb in his pack.

I agree, we should avoid battles on the way.

[Cutcobra]

Sorsha gives Erik back his Titanic Axe.

[Sandy]

QM Note: I interpreted that the entire party moved together. Correct me if I understood wrong.

The party decides to circle around to the other side of the flames by going to the second floor and descending down from the staircase at the western end of the school. The second floor hallway is still empty (even though the party can hear Amanda and Cayenne arguing inside the girl's lavatory), but as they walk down the stairs, the party encounters an unfortunate obstacle.

A pack of ghosts blocks the party's way down, so a fight is inevitable.
